From CNET: Owners of the HTC One M8 phone on AT&T should be on the lookout for a shot of Android Lollipop as of Tuesday.
A Monday night tweet from HTC vice president of product management Mo Versi said that the latest version of Google's mobile OS is finally launching for the HTC One M8: "AT&T HTC One (M8) Owners! We just received technical approval for Lollipop OS! Thank you for all your patience, OTA (over-the-air) [update] to start tomorrow."
Android OS rollouts via carriers can be challenging and time-consuming, especially if technical bugs are discovered. Both the manufacturer and the carrier need to test and verify the update before it can be approved for smartphone users. The update then needs to be scheduled by the carrier and rolled out country by country or on a global basis for each individual phone.
Technical issues have plagued the rollout of Android 5.0 to the HTC One M8. In late January, HTC revealed that it would miss its February 1 goal of pushing out Android Lollipop to the carrier versions of the HTC One M8 and M7. At the time, HTC had already doled out the update to the Google Play, Developer and unlocked editions of the HTC One M8, which don't rely on carrier partners, such as AT&T.
