Yea they are I was referring to the eye experience. Really a bummer as I just got my M9 and love the sense version of Lollipop.

For Max owners such as myself it really is disheartening to see this. When scouting around the htc update site try selecting the m7. Guess what, the m7 is in the certification stage of lollipop. Now select the m8. Guess again, it is already on lollipop. The m9 comes with sense 7 and lollipop already on it. It seems to me that devs would at least have some manner in which to at least find a way to port these over to the max. Or at least one might think that.
For those who seem to get their "upgrades" just in time always seem to get the devices that htc (and especially Verizon) tend to leave behind. I myself upgraded from the Thunderbolt to the DNA and from that to the Max. All 3 of these devices were unlucky in the "love" department when it came to keeping them up to date.
NuSense 7 for the DNA by santod040 is quite possibly the best rom keeping that excellent device still alive for those still holding it. His work on the Thunderbolt was recognized for years as tireless and he has put together some great stuff.
But why the history lesson you might ask? It appears that timing has a way of getting the bulk of ownership to transfer to the newer devices while gladly taking away that data package from you. It almost appears that thousands who switched to these devices are intentionally left in the dust for capitalism to take its effects on us.
I will patiently hold on to my max as I patiently await developers like santod040 and flyhalf to find a way to get the screen, resolution, and dpi correct to run their amazing ports of lollipop and sense 7 to my max. I know good and well if I wait on Verizon and HTC to do it I would be turning 58 colors of purple right now from holding my breath!

Eye Experience is a new feature and comes directly with Android Lollipop. Ask HTC Customer Service they tell you the same.

You runnin a Custom Rom! No Ofiicial! There is no Official T6 ROM with HTC's EE. HTC gonna implement that for Official Android L ROM which is still in development.
Dont believe ? Talk to 'em... Oh and btw even on the official HTC DE site it says Android L on HTC One Max in Development.
Not getting into a pissing match with u...its been out for awhile it don't matter if it's official and just to let u know the project has been going on for some time I've seen that it has been out on acouple 4.4.2 roms also...its nothing new

That is eol... Or it would say in development like it did two weeks ago... The status wouldn't have changed if development didn't stop ... You claimed it still said in development which it did two weeks ago... Add it up brotha... Compare it to other phones in development for lollipop ( actually I think the rollout is done for all who got it)

this was no offend to you, i just said that Eye Experience Cam Features was introduced with the Selfie Phone Desire Eye. And now after Android L came out HTC decided to implement it to other HTC phones like M7.
The T6 didnt have it yet but becomes it with Android L.
So i dont know about Sprint or Verizon the one showed on the update US site but the EU version will get Androdi L 5.0.2 with Sense 6 Eye Experience on middle/end of May.

The eye experience is indeed in development lollipop is not. Dude they didn't change it on the site you referenced just for fun. They are two separate things. Just stop... Days later you will realize how your ignorance looks... We have HTC employees on THIS SITE already claiming that Lollipop was dead months ago. I thought they were wrong as LOLLIPOP NOT EYE was still in development. However as it states on site Kitkat is the end of life for HTC One Max Verizon and Sprint and eye is still in development. It was changed about two weeks ago. You have ZERO evidence other than your pointless claims that eye means lollipop which you've already been proven wrong.

Who here is willing to help me out with harassing/asking/begging HTC Dev to upload the source code for the Max kernel? I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that with out that AOSP is just a pipe dream..
Idea #1 After talking to Flyhalf and some thoughts just being tossed around I went ahead and attempted to boot the m7vzw recovery to see where it got me which turned out to be absolutely nowhere lol... Except for a black screen for a few moments and then it rebooted itself back to the bootloader.. It was a nice brief thought of us possibly being able to work with a kernel and code that already existed publicly! But again just another pipe dream...
Idea #2 Was an actual interesting idea considering it doesn't brick the device and render it useless, but after talking to nocoast from liquid/carbon/gummy what have you, as he said this would just be EPIC lol.. He suggested that I attempt at flashing the One Max to a GPE (Google Play Edition for those noobs that don't know what GPE is) and converting it over to a Google Experience device like the OG HTC One users are doing.. It's a fantastic idea but I however won't be the first to attempt this. Also considering we don't have an actual Verizon HTC One Max RUU available as of yet where if the phone wasn't completely shot that I would be able to RUU back to stock. See this would actually be seriously epic but my thoughts on that are if it did flash hypothetically speaking and it booted no problem what happens with RIL? I haven't seen anyone with a Verizon HTC One post anywhere that they were able to do this, correct me if I'm wrong.. There wouldn't be radios available for us considering the GPE devices are all GSM... Not to mention that even if I pulled the radios from a firmware dump and did some zip hacking the frameworks would probably not support it.........
Anyone reading this know of any Verizon HTC One users who successfully flashed their device to GPE and everything is working? If someone can find anyone who truly pulled this off I'll for hell of it give the GPE kitkat RUU a flash to see what happens out of curiosity maybe... I mean if you think of it how dope would it be to have the Google bootloader and get updates from Google and not HTC!!!
This is why I'm saying if you have a few minutes to spare please go to HTC Dev site and shoot them an email asking for kernel source code so we can get the ball rolling on AOSP builds.. I know I'm not the only one who is hurting for some source built ROMs! I've used Flyhalf's work since day one on the original Verizon HTC One and I know how phenomenal his builds were and I'm dying to run them on this! I always used HTC devices with the exception of briefly going to the Galaxy Nexus then Galaxy S3 then quickly to the Note 2, and what I loved about the Note 2 was the screen size! The last 3 devices I listed was all for screen real-estate well the Gnex was for ICS and 1st Verizon Nexus, but the rest screen real-estate! I don't need all that extra bloat garbage Samsung crams down everyones throat with the stylus and s-pen apps and s-voice and blah blah.. I loved it cuz it was BIG! I fell in freaking love with the HTC One but my biggest issue was coming from the Note 2 was stepping back down to a 4.7 inch screen....... Everything else I loved loved loved.. Then the announced the One Max and it was a wrap! This is something I can rock with for a minute tip they release the next super sized HTC phone with more power. HTC really nails it when it comes to build quality. They are just falling short with the carriers rules on being locked down and not releasing source in a timely fashion like some of the other OEMs are..
So lets get together as a community and try and get us some source!!!!! I've already been in touch with them a few times regarding this matter, and they basically just said that they are working on getting it to us............ Come on?????? We know it exists just upload it already!
+1 we need to kick of AOSP builds. I would like to email HTC Dev, however not have done any before. Can i request you to post anything specific that needs to be added to this email? it would help the other users here too.
From what I understand they booted the Sprint One recovery on a (your?) Verizon One Max. Wouldn't that mean the Sprint One kernel could be used (with some modification) with the Verizon radio? Both are cdma so it *may* not be that difficult.
No when beaups and I messed with my Max and he updates his rumrunner to work on the Verizon variant I went ahead and flashed and booted the Sprint One "Max" recovery not the original One recovery..

Good idea thanks
alright, just contacted htc dev asking them for one max downloadables.
How did you go about contacting them? Was it through the "Tell us what you want" tab on htcdev.com? Keep us informed!!! Hopefully if enough people do this regardless of your carrier since we are looking for common source for the kernel we can expedite the process a little since HTC tends be s l o w with posting their special sauce... Also thanks pradeepvizz, much appreciated!

Here is the direct link for ppl to find it faster - http://www.htcdev.com/contact
i have known HTC's slow release timings over the kernel source in general and also about their bad attitude, hopefully we get more ppl to demand them. HTC One had got 4.3 update 2 months ago and it was only last week or so that the kernel source was released

HTC disclaims any and all liability for proper functioning of your device after the bootloader has been unlocked and for data lost in the unlocking process. To prevent unauthorized access to your data, unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data from your device including applications, text messages and personalized settings.

When i asked HTC dev about the kernel source this was the reply i recieved. Hopefully really soon actually means really soon and HTC doesn't work on Valve time.
Thank you for contacting HTC technical support, we are really glad to know that you are loving your HTC One Max, hopefully you enjoyed for a long time.
We hope to have the Kernel source posted on htcdev.com really soon, please be tuned with the site for more information about it.

I have been in contact with them pretty frequently over the past week and they have as they said "escalated the issue" to the right team to expedite the process on getting the kernel source up.. I'm right now awaiting another email from them and I encouraged them to call me as well lol.. We'll see!!! We can only hope!

I was in contact with them again last night and they responded today and told me that my escalation was received and is in the process of being reviewed and typically takes 7 to 10 business days and at that point would come to a resolution.. I explained to them that I understand Sense and HTC's extra nonsense is proprietary and told them that I don't care about that. What I care about is the kernel source and them following through with GPL compliancy and how not only on the One Max but all HTC devices based on the Linux kernel being modified and redistributed NEEDS to be made open and in good ethics in a timely fashion.... If anyone is really interested in seeing what I wrote I'll post the whole email lol.. It's a lot for me to retype. I gave it to them thorough though. I mean really gave it to them with facts and dates. How they were the originating OEM to release a public Android device and how they initiated the launch of the Open Handset Alliance and how they suck at being "Open"!! It was pretty good I felt!!!

Here comes a good reason to still hope that maybe we'll get 4.4.2....i contacted htc support and asked to publish the source code for the 4.2.2 kernel and sure i mentioned how bad it is that we won't be able to get 4.4.2 and look what they said to me... Just check the screenshot, I think we are in the right way!

This data was released March 24, 2014. The data in the chart says it all. It would be great if we had a kernel dev, maybe then we could have things like a fully working cyanogenmod for the AT&T version of the One X+ or even a Sense 5.5 port. Maybe something screwy is with the 4.1.1 kernel, I don't know. All I know is even if we don't get anything, this phone is still a decent phone and I'm tired of HTC. I sincerely wished I bought a Nokia Lumia. The camera on that phone is AMAZING.
I agree that what HTC replied is a pretty standard answer. Unfortunately, nothing good will be coming our way.
To have 4.4.2 with htc sense 6 will give experience like HTC One m8
Lets hope for the best.

This ain't gonna happen, support for One X+ has been dropped, they may release the source code, but no updates will come. We still can't obtain S-Off even after two years. I'm sticking with Stable CM ROMs.

That tells absolutely nothing, its generic response. 4.2.2 will not come, its simple not possible without sources from Tegra, even Nvidia is dropping from manufacturing CPU processors..
Hi can you tell me how the individual components (nvidia tegra source, Android 4.4.2 and kernel source, S-OFF etc.) hang together?
im new to the HOX + and at the moment I still have a lot of fun with experimenting and tweaking .. but how "future-proof" is HTC or the One X +?
Thanks for answers
HOX+ enrc2b, ARHD8.0, Elitekernel3.1.10 modded
It's not. It's actually ALREADY discontinued, and has been for a while now. The last update is and was the 4.2.2 with Sense 5. Nothing will come after this, as HTC claims nVidia dropped support for the SoC on the One X and One X+.
To conclude, the One X/One X+ is not at all future-proof. It's already in the past.
Hm damn. Then I have probably bought the wrong phone :S
thanks for the reply.
HOX+ enrc2b, ARHD8.0, Elitekernel3.1.10 modded
You can still use some original Android 4.4 ROMs (no Sense, thus), they work (mostly) good on our phones.
yeah. the most I've tested... AOKP, CM.. 4.2-4.4 versions but i love the look of sense.
well, then I now have just enough time to play around with xposed: D
Hi! Whether there are any news concerning Kit Kat or already it won't be because of Tegra?
It won't be.

Hello,
I'm also afraid we won't get the official HTC update to 4.4.2.
Which is in your opinion the best ROM to use for everyday useage ?
I want to get a smartwatch, but they all require at least android 4.3 and I'm stuck on 4.2.2..
Thanks.

That's exactly my problem as well. If only HTC had given us at least 4.3, so that the One X+ would be compatible with Android Wear.
the htc one m7 can be had for the same price as the one x+ now. just sell your x+ and get an M7

This data was released March 24, 2014. The data in the chart says it all. It would be great if we had a kernel dev, maybe then we could have things like a fully working cyanogenmod for the AT&T version of the One X+ or even a Sense 5.5 port. Maybe something screwy is with the 4.1.1 kernel, I don't know. All I know is even if we don't get anything, this phone is still a decent phone and I'm tired of HTC. I sincerely wished I bought a Nokia Lumia. The camera on that phone is AMAZING.

hello alexander,
you said that "The camera on that phone is AMAZING". well, i wanted to know which phone you are mentioning having amazing camera. The HTC One X+ or Nokia Lumia?

It's funny how the Nexus 7 got 4.4 while that thing is a Tegra3. Google voodoo?
Now, about our device, let's not forget we can flash Sense6 on top of CM11, shall we? [emoji6]

IMPORTANT: Evo 3D is our (Howpathetic's, Želvica's and Snoob25's) only phone, so obviously we don't want to brick it. Maybe we have found a tester, that can risk it since Evo 3D is his secondary phone. EVERYONE who is willing to help us with his device can PM us. If we can't find anyone we could ask users if they want to donate for a test device (used Evo 3Ds are around 30-40€ here)

a ported rom for personal use when we'll reach at least bootanimation we'll think about a proper rom, a direct port from villec2 or a port from sensation (with proper permissions)
Yep, can be booted again
Just a thumbs up for not letting go of this device as HTC did. That's the spirit of xda I adore. Also if you achieve to make a ROM with 3D support I will scrap or postpone my plans to get a new device this/next year since the basic reason I want to scrap this device is that I have to either suffer from the slowness of those butchered stock versions of ICS+3.6/4 Sense and keep 3D functions or sacrifice 3D for a fast and super responsive 4.1.x+.
Devs here did an amazing job (and almost did the impossible) to improve as much as they could those clunky 3.6/4 Sense + ICS versions out there but they were really trying to do the impossible since all those versions pretty like sucked out of the box, obviously because they were results of either HTC not caring about that device they were making the ROM for (the case of all Sense 3.6 devices), or they had no idea what they were doing and they were feeling like being experimental (all devices with Sense 4 at launch), resulting into terribly optimized ROMS for devices that can do alot better than that. It's not like ICS was a real step forward in performance compared to GB so let alone an ICS rom built at that bad period from HTC (I can't say that though for JB+ based versions of Sense though, these are good and feel as they should).
If you want any testing, I'm here to help without a second thought.
I have two 3d's. One I use daily at work for music and another sits in a drawer at home. "might" be thinking about donating to a dev... They are both Sprint branded devices meaning CDMA... I can also do some testing but this is kernel for gsm only?
waaooo~ It is amazing news!! Maybe after my exam this month, I probably have time to test that.
GOOD WORK!!

Yo, I've been waiting to jump into Sense porting for a device like this. It would be awesome if you were willing to let your spare one go, as I am super excited about getting a Sense 5 rom booting for the Evo 3D. I'd be really happy to do testing for these guys working on this kernel. I've done prior work in Sense porting for the Nexus One and the Incredible 2.
Thanks

Alright,, I believe there is a problem with the screen on it or the power button though. When trying to wake it from sleep only the navigation buttons will light up and a reboot is necessary. But it should be a great testing device.

For now testing is limited, we determined that kernel doesn't brick anything, now it's all a matter of coding! About that spare evo, that could be helpful, I'd say ask howpathetic through pm if he needs it, and specify that it is a shooter

good luck with the hard work
Did you make sure to build the boot.img with the proper ramdisk offset? Kernel's default ramdisk offset is 16MB, but the 3.4 kernel is big, so the ramdisk load offset needs to be set to 20MB (0x01400000). If you don't do this then the kernel will keep bootlooping. USB parameters in the ramdisk also need to be updated in order to use ADB for when you're debugging later on.

EDIT: Wait, is the goal to get a 3.4 kernel working, or a Sense 4+ ROM booting? If you're just trying to get Sense 4+ booting then getting a 3.4 kernel working isn't necessary. All of the Qualcomm drivers that make 3.4 special can be backported to 3.0, which can be used to boot Sense 4+.

Hello Snoob
Well after I have seen the title of this Post i was like oh yeeees ;D
If more testers are needed I have a spare HTC EVO 3D GSM version (actually my first one that I bought myself when it was released)
I always loved it cause it was heavy, well builded and I felt like having something premium in hand (samsung felt always cheap to me)
Well after all the years I had to change the digitizer but unfortunate it was a chinese copy and the undersite of it peel of and now i have like a nasty circle on the lcd (will fix it cause my friend told me to remove the digitizer and a a scrren portector on the lcd and put the digiter bad so that nasty circle will go away) and the front aluminium bezel felt of (old glue ofc)
So after all that and I hade not the time to fix it I bought another EVO 3D because I like it that much.
But now I have a HTC Sensation ¸that I got as a gift from a friend in top shape and my EVOs are sleeping
Yeah I know long story but the point is that the first one even with all the problems works 100% so I would like to test for yaa kernel and even ROMs cause I always wanted to see sense 5 on EVO 3D happen but dont have the skill my own.
So my testing device is; HTC EVO 3D GSM version (no carrier version)
PM me please If you decide that you need another tester
And Big Kudos To You Guys For Still Suporting The EVO 3D
Just a little note .. I think most of us want to see a Sense 5 in our EVO3D... (and not the 4+, which is very similar to sense 4.1, at least graphically). So if you have the same possibility to make a sense 4+ or a sense 5, maybe you could do a survey.. so if the people say sense 5 rom (or sense 4+) you can focus your energies on a single project
Sorry for bad english and thanks for everything!!!:fingers-crossed:
hey folks, just want to discuss with as many as possible what they think about the fact that almost no custom roms for dual sim devices are available.
i personally don't think that i shall trade the great choice of mods, roms and kernels for the "oneplus 2" i was totally convinced to get one as soon as my invites will drop in,
the dual sim feature was even one of the main things i was looking forward to since i currently have to manage 6 devices with sim cards from around the world!
but just recently the worrying fact that there are almost no or very few mods, custom roms and kernels, specifically for dual sim devices crossed my mind.
i mean roms which let you manage the dual sim capability the same way like the stock rom. of course one can use only one sim slot but then what sense does it
make to have a dual sim device when you can use only one sim instead of both and the way they are supposed to. one example would be to have one sim for data with incoming calls blocked and another for calls only and mobile data off.
for those who think why the heck one would want that, my example is that i never make and receive phone calls on my motorbike, but as well don't want to stop every other kilometer to answer a call, but need the device for navigation online and offline as to my liking and want to make use of the different plans which favour either calls or data.
what do all of you think about this disconcerting find, i mean after all we're on XDA, the community of mods, custom roms, rooting and whathaveyou ?
Well there is no void warranty on unlocking bootloader . a plus point .
Also,I have seen a great development for Yureka and Yuphoria,both are dual sims and 64 bit too .. Similar to op2 also both are cheap ..
Only difference in yureka and Yuphoria with op2 is Cyanogen ... So I expect great development on op2 too . As of now,I know 3 developers for opo coming to op2 for sure and I expect a lot more to come . Development might be less than OPO because of Nexus 5 coming but it will not be much less .. So I think you should buy it !!

thanks for the information, perhaps they are going to keep up with the fact that more devices, especially chinese ones, were recently launched with dual sim, even the new moto x is available with dual sim as an option, thanks for the heads up.
Correlation doesn't equal causation, right? I'ts possible the dual-SIM devices in existence weren't appealing to developers for a variety of reasons, not necessarily BECAUSE they are dual-SIM.

thanks for providing your point of view. i agree to the first part and would agree to the last part of your post as well if only the number of available roms wouldn't be so close to zero and there certainly are and were good ( appealing ) devices with dual sim.
however i feared that it might be technical reasons, means a lot more of work without having the great community, one indeed has to assume that it has to do with demand. so far so good, that would go hand in hand with what others posted and i tend to be hopeful

For sure. And my post is not in any way based on knowledge of hte devices in question or developing for dual-SIM devices, so you very well may be right. But until you find something thta specifically says "dual-SIM makes it too difficult to develop".... I wouldn't draw too many conclusions / freak out too bad.
Worst case, wait a couple months after the device is released and see how development looks before biting the bullet. Demand will hopefully have cooled by then anyway. The struggle of the early adopter....

I have something very good in plan to bring a lot of developers to the OP2 ... Just wait and watch .. And at the moment I can confirm 2 ROMs and 1 Kernel already .. Won't disclose the names but the Kernel is available for Nexus 5 too and the same developer develops another ROM for the Nexus 5 ,the ROM that is available for OPO too . And second is a ROM that is among the most famous ROMs for the One and many Nexus' too .. Not in Original Android Development [emoji6]

sorry but if he points out that he's not gonna mention the name ( not time yet ) it's not up to me to do that
further i'm guessing, so let's just see what will happen, keeps the tension and alertness high LOL
As long as the interest level is there, the development will be there, so there's nothing to worry about. There's healthy support for the Dual-SIM varient of Moto G 2014 for example.
I was totally in to buy this phone. But no development would be a killer for me. It never crossed my mind there wouldn't be as the is so much for the One. I use slim rom, and would want it on the Two.
Android 5.1 adds native support for dual SIM, so it should be easier to develop for devices than before, especially for those that ship with 5.1 like the 1+2.

HTC/Google promised latest and newest updates for the Android One Version of the U11 Life. In my opinion this seems not the be the case (at this moment). The latest Software should be Android 8.1 witch security updates from March, but is 8.0 with updates from January 1. Before January updates were rolled out at the end of the month, which is not quite fast, but something you could live with. Now nobody has any clue, when/if new updates will be available.
Sadly the update promise was the main reason for me to buy the phone. HTC seems not to be interested to comment on the delay. So everyone considering to buy this phone because of the newest updates should at least wait till there's any news on this.
Hahaha what a heavy kind of flaming just because of one update and so small changes between 8.0 and 8.1 that you would not even see or know it if you dont look into the system settings info page. All updates before where published within 3 weeks after google made them available and also 8.1 and latest security updates are on their way. I just asked HTC on facebook and they told me it should come in the next days. Dont tell lies if you did not even ask them, also 3 weeks ago they already answered this question on facebook. Just read before flame.

Didn't flame anything, just wrote down facts
1. no matter what the changes between 8.0 and 8.1 are, they promised to deliver fast and they haven't yet. If you don't care about Version updates, that's fine. But please have in mind that other people might care. Furthermore there are for example problems with Miracast, which might be solved with the update.
Regarding security updates- in my understanding, these should be delivered as fast as possible. There's a reason for the naming of these kind of updates. If you feel that a delay of 3 weeks or now 6 weeks is acceptable, fine. Regarding their promise, I don't. It's also not as fast as possible as Nokia has showed with delays of a few days.
.
2. I called HTC support- they couldn't tell me anything about the updates. Neither the reason for the delay nor any planned schedule. I contacted support via email too- got no answer. Even if you can't imagine, there are people who don't use facebook. Yep, one of them is me. Anyways, I didn't felt any need to get in contact with the support in every possible way. But i might be considering writing a traditional letter next time too.
I would really appreciate, if you could ask and be sure before you presume that I've told lies.
And it would be nice from you, to post a picture from the mentioned facebook posts.
100% correct bro. The Nokia non android one version was running 8.1 months ago. Check my previous posts, I myself got shut down when I enquired about updates. I dont get it, I get a feeling that the guys opposing people asking for updates work for HTC or something ? The reason why I bought the HTC u11 life android one was for regular updates, otherwise I could have gone and bought a xiaomi for half the price.
Im not giving up because now I will go and post on HTC uk twitter asking what the delay is.
Let me add to this. I want P and i also want P as part of developer Beta. Yes i do want it now
And u know why I want it, well HTC and google are very close right

Again, bang on. So what can we do about it ? I have also done support, twitter etc, and they just give u the generic answer 'when an update is available the icon at the top will notify u'
Well thank you very much for that information but that was not my question HTC.
I think more twitter public posts will put pressure on HTC to keep their promises

The weird thing is, it is the 2nd January Security Patch rather than the one from February.
The Build itself got an update though, as it was Version 1.10.401.4 before.
Maybe there are preparations for 8.1 going on, and February Patch is included in that?
Couldn't find any specific info on that, though.

As far as I have experienced HTC since my U11 Life, I don't think they will be able to launch 8.1 soon.
This company is such a mess, terrible.
Have tried all possible support channels.
Whether extremely late replies, or just saying some crap.
Well, hope dies last. We'll see. I can live with 8.0 as well very good. The only cool thing would be, if the external memory could be used as a real expansion of the internal... But that doesn't belong in this thread. [emoji4]

You are right, they now dont even answer via twitter, but im gonna keep trying. This is so so bad, bought the phone on promise, they cant even deliver security updates. Surely google are also responsible in some way ? How can these promises be blatantly broken

HTC is very bad in handling Customer requests. After they answered very good on facebook, they deleted every conversation they ever made with all users on facebook so nobody will ever see it again, they also changed the advertisment on their own webside. Till Janury they wrote "2 Years of Android Version Updates and 3 Years of monthly Security Updates" and they changed it to just "2 Years of Android Version Updates". Also they dont answer to any request now, luckily i found a german forum where someone from HTC still answers questions from users and they wrote their that something went wrong with the februar update and it will take some time to fix this. They also wrote that they are working hard to improve the time they need for the monthly security updates in the future. Related to 8.1 they wrote they still working on it and dont have an eta yet. Something happend yesterday what was a little shock for a lot of people, mo_versi (who was the most communicative man from HTC on twitter) posted that he left the company now (he was president of productmanagment). So its very unlikely that anyone will know when an update will come because he was the only one who posted real dates when the updates will start.
Tough the same for me...
My wife have the Mi A1, and today she have receive the March security update... And they still claim for treble -_-'
Very disappointed, but it's strange, it's not Google who handle the software for all the Android One ?

If we would have pure android one it would be google but we have edge sense and usonic in it and because of this HTC has to do it.
But as we can see here https://www.xda-developers.com/nokia-5-nokia-6-android-8-1-oreo-stable-update/ hdm global is much better in doing software updates. The only reason i perhaps will never get a nokia is because they dont support unlocking the bootloader.

Unless you have a Pixel device, there are very very few differences between Android 8.0 and 8.1

I know, but... promised is promised, as htc promised fast updates to the latest android version they are already too late now and this is just the fist and very small version update since the launche of the device. If you think of what might happen when android P will launch, we might have to wait half a year to get this update. And this is realy ridiculous in fact that the device has project treble and android one htc dont have to do much to finish the updates.
Hi all,
is there any updates regarding 8.1 with Android One ? I expect that with Project Treble the updates come faster but it seems not...
The last update is also breaking Wifi for me... the connection disconnects very often. Anyone can reproduce the same issue ?
