The OFFICIAL release date APRIL/May. It's NOT a rumor.
If they release it sooner, at the right time or later that's another story.
Whatever SE says about their products is official, even if it becomes true or not.

[Q] OTA Update

Hi
Has anyone/ reviewers received the much publicized OTA which was due on 11th from google.

Patience is key. Just sit back and wait for the 13th, I'd say.

It's not a matter of what's new,I think a number of people are waiting to see final software performance and battery before they make their decision on the 13th.

I understand but i was just suggesting that it may be better to wait till the 13th - when people post about the final/retail software performance themselves- and then pull the trigger.

Yeah im curious to know too, supposedly with this update now you'lll have widgets in the lockscreen and maybe the battery problems will be solved :victory:

This most likely IS the final retail software.
do you really think that google will push out another OTA update in 2 days after this?
lol

If the software isn't perfect even on release day, Google will still issue updates accordingly. Its not like Google will sell you a phone, and then not fix any issues. So even if battery life is not perfect on day one, that could easily be fixed with an update. I am buying on day one no matter what, as I desperately need a new phone.

You can't compare them, the Galaxy Nexus has a smaller battery and a more power hungry screen.

It's 1pm here in California and there is no OTA update yet. Confirmed by AnandTech; https://twitter.com/nerdtalker/status/267732873061224448
Hopefully it arrives by tonight!

The launch of the n4 is a little different than the galaxy nexus. If there are major bugs that people are unhappy with that can be fixed with a software update, I think Google will fix them.

What's wrong with Google? I hope they get their sh*t together and release a final ota that fixes all the current bugs. I would think that they would update the software before the release to do any last minute debugging.

I agree. Releasing an update the day it goes on sale does not seem ideal. In case there are issue with update.

Idk what's taking Google so long, its not a major update.

Seems like the devs over at google might be having a hard time getting a 3.4 kernel optimized for android devices... As far as I know, it's the first phone to use the 3.4.x kernel branch. Most other ICS or JB android devices use the 3.0.x branch.

HTC One 4.4 Kit Kat with Sense 5.5 UI.

I'm going to guess that the earliest would be tomorrow (hopefully I'm wrong). HTC seems to release things on Fridays.

If HTC sticks to there promise of 15 days we should get it tomorrow. I think we will have it before the Nexus devices too.

I don't believe it'll be exactly on the day. They say 15 days from its announcement. 4.4 was announced on a Thursday. I give them props for the confidence in releasing dates so soon unlike Samsung that just has nothing really. Also if they are pushing it I'll be okay if its within a few days or a week from their proposed day. People get to attached to etas . just wait.

If they do deliver on their promise of today/tomorrow, that'd be awesome.
Someone on reddit posted it might be 15 workdays, which might make more sense and is probably likely if it isn't released today or tomorrow.
Football did tweet that 4.4 GE was nearly finished/ready for rollout and sense 5.5 on android 4.4 was in early testing.
We'll see, I guess. I'm probably gonna convert to GE until android 4.4 + Sense 5.5 comes out.

Will the HTC One for the US (the Unlocked) omit the 4.3 update and go straight to 4.4 KitKat?
Although I'm not that eager for 4.4 it's the fact that we still don't have the new Sense yet that makes me ask.

It already has 4.3. If you're talking about Sense 5.5, then no, it won't get it until it gets the 4.4 update.

The details of the KitKat rollout for the HTC One were shared in an interview with Engadget.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/htc-one-android-kitkat/
Here are the highlights:
HTC one GPe within 15 days,
HTC One Developer Edition within 30 days
All other North American HTC One SKUs (including all carrier variants) within 90 days
These details were shared on October 31. For HTC to keep the deadline, the HTC One GPe update will need to be released tomorrow and the Dev Edition needs to get its update by the end of November.

I like how the source is xda itself lol

According to xperiablog there's no 4k,tap2wake,smart call handling in the build. That's really upsetting. At least they could've given tap2wake...

if they give us all the new features of the z2 then there is no reason to upgrade. i dont expect anything special from the kitkat update

It's normal behavior, in fact it makes no sense to wait long for "nothing"... but now as many have said the failure to implement all the features of z2 with an update is linked to the interests of the company ... who would rise from z1 to z2 if you can get the same thing at a lower price?
And this is the main problem of the technology, not only of Sony
However this is xda

Nowhere in the sourced thread does it mention the update is rolling out. Unless I missed something, only the random HK/Chinese user that got it is mentioned.

Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

I am certainly not gonna find excuses for Sony's despicable behaviour. Z1 is only 6 months old, it should be fully supported and get all the new features it can handle. We helped Sony become more relevant in the mobile market and that's how they reward their customers? They really expect us to pay 600$ twice a year if we want a decent update? That's just dishonest! Shame on you Sony!!!

I just want kit kat and its default kit kat features, tap 2 wake and maybe if I'm lucky the abilty to display the homescreen wallpaper on the lockscreen so i can have Muzei LW on both

There's a new version that was certified on July 14th.

Which means the odds of us seeing an OTA release before August have likely diminished considerably.
