If you are using the HTC’s One M9 in USA, then be sure to check for a big update available for your already as software version 3.35.617.16. No, there is Nougat update part of this one, as we’re calling it big because of its size only — you know, all HTC says in the changelog is “Latest Android security update by Google” but the update is still sized 604.43 MB.

The update actually packs in updates for its apps, and hence the big size. Yes, HTC didn’t think it essential to list out the apps in for an upgrade in the changelog, but as long as the company remains active like this with updates, it’s not a shame.

That apart, we think the new 3.35.617.16 also fixes little issues and quashes bugs, which would explain the massive size of the update.

To update you HTC One M9, find the system updates section under Settings app, and use hit that ‘check for update’ button to see if your device is eligible for the update. If you have TWRP recovery installed, then you will need to go back to default stock recovery for the update to be successfully installed.

HTC One M9 Nougat update release date

BTW, HTC has confirmed it two times already that it would be updating the One M9 to Android Nougat. But the company has remained silent on the release date.

We’re sure that HTC 10 would be the company’s first to be treated with Android 7.0 update, and when that happens folds the key for the remaining sets in the roadmap — we would be able to figure out release date for HTC 10 Nougat update only then in a pretty good way.

We think that Android Nougat for HTC 10 could arrive by next month or October 2016, for several reasons (see the link before), and if that happens, the other popular 2016 launch devices should see the update before the end of 2016. With that, we can hope for the One M9’s Nougat update in Q1 2017, most probably in January end.

Even though the international variant of One M9 see the update by January 2017, the US carrier like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile could take some time of their own — testing, approving, etc. — to update their One M9 to Android Nougat. You could add extra one month for T-Mobile and Sprint, while 2-3 months of delay for Verizon and AT&T variants of the One M9.
