AT&T M8 Software update Downloading NOW!!!

[AlphaVictor87]

Downloading the update right now! Looks like lollipop is for sure rolling out today.

Size is 549.7MB in case anyone was wondering.

EDIT: Not sure if its AT&T's network or an HTC deal, but downloading is going pretty slow so far for everyone reporting they're getting it downloaded.

Is Sense 7 included in this update?

I don't believe so. I was looking through Mo Versi's tweets yesterday and someone asked the same. He said Sense 7 would be in a later update.

I've always seen where it will hang long on the HTC boot screen after an update, so for anyone that gets that don't be to worried. I've had it sit there close to 10 minutes before,

Apparently Sense 7 is not included, but will be part of another update (if or when that ever happens): http://twitter.com/moversi/status/585252789082656768

Yup.. 15 minutes on this go around. This is the slowest update I've seen so far.. Finish booting updating lots of things.. This is a big update

5.0.2 is a nice surprise. Still being Sense 6 isn't a surprise since the M9 just came out and Sense 7 is one of it's biggest selling points.

I apparently have 370. No idea where that came from.

I won't be able to update until about 8pm tonight. How does battery and performance seem to be once some folks are running 5.0.2 for a few hours?

I think it's only be hitting phones for about the past hour, maybe hour and a half. Mine's taken over an hour just to downld and complete the update. There are a good chunk of changes, but so far the phone is flying. Like insanely fast. Battery life I'll have a better indication of in about 4 or 5 hours. I was always out of juice before 3PM with the 4.4.4 keep awake bug, so we'll see if this fixed it.

As a side note, you'll want to make sure that you have a good battery charge before the update. Tore though nearly 30% of the battery during the update.

Something i noticed with the update is that on the lock screen you no longer have the option of unlocking the phone 3 different directions. Its swipe up only.

Now if you're using the motion gestures with the screen off to unlock that still seems to work for all 3 directions.

EDIT: Also unless i'm blind, there's no more option to close all open apps in the multi-tasking. However you can go into the settings on that screen and switch back to the grid view.
