A flagship covered by HTC Advantage, no that won't happen. Even with MediaTek. It's actually a very powerful processor, and runs the full Sense version this time around. So. They are just providing it here, because people care about numbers, MTK gives that, plus added benefits of including fingerprint scanner etc at the same cost. Its a good move actually, I just feel the device is a tab bit overpriced. Should have been 45k.

[HTC One E8] mietens:
ya but any news about moto x 2015 version? i m waiting for that....also any news about m9+? it was going to launch today
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Moto X 2015 won't be released before August - Sept. Also, M9+ has been launched already. It'll be available in markets from today, apparently. Now that really depends on how efficient the retailer is. Expect it by 10th May easily at least though.

M9+is out of my reach man. At least till march next year.

Any news on the lolwapop update for India?? -_-
[HTC One E8] kunalra:
Yup.HTC India ate all of those.

[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Hahaha.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Yes I know, mine has the older firmware I guess. But I don't want to S-OFF, root (basically, tamper) my device just yet.

The somehow didn't send an OTA to this newer firmware too, which is surprising. And I confused whether it'll have a role when the Lollipop update actually comes, or not.

Yep, the sources are out. The tough part still is that this device barely has any reach in the developer community.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
This device is my daily driver (and probably the only decent CDMA phone available in the bloody country) and I have decided now not to play around with it much as well, well, at least not yet.

[IMG="HTCDev"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3114893&stc=1&d=1421249683[/IMG]

The funny part is some of my friends who bought the phone with the older software (1.25.xxx.x) went to the HTC people only to be denied of such an update. I just don't get it.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
I know. My phone has 1.25.720.3.

Probably the same as your friends. The people on live chat told me I can get it updated at SVC and the SVC people informed me that the version available with them too is 1.25.720.3. So I dunno what's going on with this 1.25.720.3 and 1.26.720.5. Really confusing.

I agree about this phone being one of the better CDMA dual sim one with great specs. The stock OS seems to work just about great too, hence, not much trouble. I just hope they get this next update soon. They don't delay it like ****. Otherwise that would be really disappointing.
[HTC One E8] ghost_razr:
M8 developer edition and unlocked version have started receiving lollipop. The wait may be over for us too soon.

[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Pretty much whatever our guess had been, by March, we should be on Lollipop.

What I want more is that FILE MANAGER and even EYE. :D
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
What's with everyone obsessing over Eye? :P
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Majorly the speak to click option, and that video button in still camera. Its way too handy!
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
But then how do we use multi-shot?

EDIT: Oh I get it.. I was confusing it to be something like they have in Snapchat.. Long press does video.. My bad..

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Honestly, considering how ****ty the E8 performs in the ART runtime, I'd be happy if they took their time and released a proper update rather than something buggy and laggy.. Because Lollipop won't have the option of switching runtime anyway..
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Haha.

I've never tried switching to ART. Plainly because ART on KitKat was meant to be just a trial and never properly optimized for the same.

From what I can make off the Lollipop update which is out for M8 till now, the performance is only better than Dalvik and KitKat. So that's really good news. The first boot with ART will take a huge amount of time, and then it's all better. I hope that it's similar for E8, which most probably it will be, because they are basically same.
[HTC One E8] kunalra:
I had switched to ART runtime and believe me it gave only 30k antutu .Generally it is 43k and I found lag too.

So it's of no use in kit Kat.

Sent from my HTC One_E8 dual sim
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
I totally understand. I used an Mi3 (which was extremely smooth on the AOSP ROM on their forum) for some time before I went ahead with the E8 purchase (which I switched to ART before even using it) and found that it was laggy as ****. Then I remembered that I had switched it to ART and had not tried it on Dalvik. Though I had superb battery life on ART, I switched to Dalvik and found that the device was extremely responsive and smooth. Especially the camera.. Even on Power Saver mode!

Plan for update

Leaked image of plan of HTC for Lollipop
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Can't you just install the HTC File Manager? Or does it not write to external if it's not part of /system?
[HTC One E8] sn9691:
what if our phone is rooted....

Do you think we could update with an unlocked bootloader? Or should i relock it first...
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
I tried that.. It needs to be in /system
[HTC One E8] centorance:
It need to be part of system. It's the main reason that prompted me to go down the sunshine route. With s-off and rooted, I doubt I will be able to flash lollipop by it's when HTC push out the firmware. Hopefully I can flash from recovery then.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
It only makes 'Sense' for them to release the Lollipop update and skip 4.4.x updates altogether.

EDIT: In hindsight, I should have probably not used the lame pun..
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Haha. With HTC and its Sense, this pun is always around. :D

True, they should get Lollipop now, but they should make it fast. That's all. The current schedule ain't bad. I just hope HTC sticks to it.
[HTC One E8] nihalrathod:
hello, o have a dual sim e8, my phone have lags . do you get any?

[HTC One E8] ayushb01:
We can't transfer files from internal SD to external SD without lollipop update due to kitkat restriction!

One quick question. Are our devices in India carrier locked or unlocked?
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
Generally NO.

Only if you buy a device from say, Reliance or Airtel or Vodafone wherein they provide a sim which is locked to their network then only will it be locked,,, otherwise nearly all phones are unlocked with respect to carrier.

Indian people, just gona play a little numbers game. (This is pure assumptions)

Lollipop was to be rolled out to m8 and m7 in 2015 quarter 1. Now m7 got it in India on the last day of q1 which was 30th March. E8 falls under q 2.

Now we're barely in the middle of q2. I purely purely think (and this is just an assumption) that this could be dragged even till the last day of June, and I think we should be prepared to wait.

E8 was launched before M8 Eye, should be updated before too. Then it'll be M8 Eye and Desire Eye.

And actually in this hierarchy, Desire 816 may be updated before E8, or both together.

Mine rooted . S-On . Unlocked . But then I followed some instruction to Relock . And fastboot the stock recovery . But when install OTA ,stuck at HTC logo . Wait too long . Then I reboot the phone . Still android 4.4 . Cannot update to Android L
[HTC One E8] Kartik1807:
You can try clearing your cache memory, clearing whatsapp data or re-installing it .If not, then you could try a factory reset, or just wait for L update and then do factory reset. It shouldn't be a hardware issue. :)
[HTC One E8] Arionic:
Kartik u were right! actually i did re-install whatsapp that actually solved my problem..the notification light is blinking clear and loud!
[HTC One E8] Kartik1807:
I believe the hierarchy would be by model, and not by release dates. Or else M7 would have got the update before M8, or D816 before Desire eye ;) . Anyways, all the assumptions might be true for htc global, but nothing can be predicted for HTC India :P . Makes me kinda sad :(
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
E8 isn't a lesser model than M8 Eye though. Similar. Same goes for Desire Eye. :)
[HTC One E8] Kartik1807:
Yep. I'd say E8 is better than M8 on papers, and same goes for Desire Eye. But M8 is the so called flagship, and M8 Eye was released in Asian countries to replace M8, so i guess it would be given preference like any other M8 variant. As you said, Let's wait and see. Just hope that the wait isn't too long.

[HTC One E8] buggerman:
There isn't an OTA to upgrade 1.25.xxx.x to 1.26.xxx.x. I have said it before and I am saying it again. You need to RUU the damned thing.

Keep waiting. You won't get the Lollipop OTA until you are on 1.26.720.6.

Unfortunately there isn't an OTA to get to 1.26.720.5/6 from 1.25.720.3.

From what the service centre people told me, devices on 1.25.720.3 need to be upgraded by them manually before they can get to Lollipop. So yeah.. RUU away..
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Why the **** would we need to do this RUU ****. How do you know they won't release it to 1.25?

How should i flash the RUU? rename and put it in SD card and run recovery?.

do i need to backup before i flash ?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
An RUU flash erases EVERYTHING. Including the internal storage. So if you're without root, try to take a backup as best you can. You will need to rely on HTC Backup or Google Backup or something.
