Android 7 and the M10: When?

[murphcid]

When will HTC release Android 7 for the 10? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[LindtChocolate]

Probably 2-3 months

I expect the HTC 10 to be the first phone from a major OEM to be upgraded.

Won't it be like the 15 days after the nexus phones get it?

That is only for the A9. That's the only phone HTC guaranteed to update 15 days after Nexus updates.

I predict it will be much sooner than later, I will say first week of October at the latest, but I am optimistic about some time in September. This is for the unlocked versions.

4Q of 16. For unlocked.

Even the A9 isn't getting it that fast, HTC should not have committed to that time frame

 

[murphcid]

I am really not that upset about the 15 day thing, since that was for security patches, not O/S replacements. But I would like to see it this year.

Status? Android 7 or 7.1?

 

[chin chen]

Dont know, still think nothing new on the Q4 2016 status. I personally think it will roll out end of November - start of December, just a guess.

I'd be really surprised if it comes out this year. I remember the delay for Marshmallow on my M8.

 

[jens Van Keer]

First update wil be the 7.0 then sometime later there wil be the 7,1 update

Llabtoofer said it on twitter

 

[murphcid]

I am waiting, not patiently, but waiting for 7.0.

I'm not waiting 7.0, it will most likely have bugs just like lollipop 5.0.1 and Marshmallow 6.0 (see Android permissions resetting)...

I wish HTC would actually give up on updating as quick as possible and wait until the os settles to a stable version (7.1?).

But from HTCs view point providing updates as quick as possible is probably viewed as a good businesses strategy even if means rushed updates. If they update to 7.1 later then I'll probably consider it once the dust settles and there aren't any major problems..

I still remember how lollipop 5.0.1 messed up my HTC M8 for a whole year, with the memory leaks! And whilst Marshmallow is good enough I think that kitkat was the best optimized OS for the M8.

Well looks like today!

Really?? Today? Do you know where it says that or do you have a link?

I got the notification today and it is downloading now

 

[murphcid]

Checked for SW Update, and it is installing now.

Really?? Today? Do you know where it says that or do you have a link?

 

[420lyfe]

Yes yes, got it too. Thanks for the update. At the time I wasn't aware.
