HTC One M8 Android 4.4.3 Update Rolls Out for Sprint
The HTC One M8 Android 4.4.3 update is now rolling out for Sprint customers.
The carrier announced the software release this morning. Its build number is 2.16.651 and it comes with various enhancements including the addition of Wi-Fi calling for customers. The carrier has been gradually rolling this feature out to new devices, however, this will be the first time it will be available on the One M8.
Other additions made to the device include bug fixes and a new HD Voice indicator. Users can check for the update in the Settings menu if they don't receive a notification.
The Android 4.4.4 update is now available for other carrier versions of the HTC One M8 and M7 Google Play Edition.
The new software brings security patches, bug fixes and some UI changes. It is rolling out slowly and users should receive a notification for it. If they don't, they can always access it through the settings menu.
The Android 4.4.4 release schedule for the carrier versions of the HTC One M8 and M7 leaked earlier this week in a new company roadmap.
This was the first hint at the update which is now rolling out. The company is also testing 4.4.3 with Sense 6 on both devices, however, HTC might skip that version in order to speed up the process of getting Android "L."
Other devices such as the HTC One M8 dual-sim version, HTC One Mini 2 and the HTC One E8 will also be receiving Android 4.4.4 very soon.
The HTC One M7, HTC One Max, Butterfly S, Desire 816 and Desire 610 will remain on Android 4.4.2 with Sense 6.0. The HTC One Mini M4 will get Android 4.4.4 next month. This basically shows the company's commitment to having the latest versions of Android on its devices before its competitors.
