HTC One (M8) on AT&T to begin receiving Android Lollipop update tomorrow

HTC received technical approval for the Android Lollipop update as scheduled, and now AT&T customers packing the venerable HTC One (M8) will begin receiving the update on Tuesday.

Often, AT&T only allows update queries to be made once every 24 hours so instead of hammering your "system update" button, wait until tomorrow. According to HTC's Mo Versi, specifically after 10:00am Pacific on Tuesday, as that is when M8 users can expect to start seeing update notifications.

It is always good when a plan comes together, and HTC has put forth a good effort to update its devices in a timely manner following major releases from Google. The HTC One (M7) on AT&T was released a week ago, and Tuesday’s update for the M8 follows in-kind.

Users can look forward to lock-screen notifications, a new “recent apps” page, and quick access to the settings from any screen. The rest of the Lollipop update brings Google’s Material Design, and Project Volta which may help users get the most out of their battery life.

Hi, I hate the new Sense update on my One M8 (running Lollipop). Is there a way to get back the older version? The "Uninstall Update" option is not available for this service
