Google postponed Android 5.0 update for HTC One M8

According to the latest information from HTC, Google continues to delay the licensing of Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for two devices, the HTC One M8 and One M7 Google Play edition.

HTC has confirmed the update of Android 5.0 Lollipop version for 2 devices HTC One M8 and One M7 Google Play edition at the end of November 2014. However, the company had to report back that the update had been delayed because it had not been licensed from Google. Mo Versi, HTC's vice president of products, has promised that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be available in early December.

However, users continue to be disappointed when the Mo Versi itself continues to acknowledge that two devices, the HTC One M8 and One M7 Google Play edition, must wait for an Android 5.0 update for a while. According to his explanation, Google is currently busy dealing with a massive workload, so licensing for HTC will continue to be slower than expected.

Latest statistics show that Android 5.0 Lolipop only accounts for about 0.1% of the total number of devices running Android. And it will probably take about a year for this new version to gain market share like Android KitKat today (33.9%).
