A few days after Taiwanese HTC One owners got their update to Android 4.2.2, the latest firmware update is starting to roll to some European 4G versions of the phone. Posts on the Android Central forums indicate that the 417MB update to version 2.24.401.1 is live in Scandinavian countries, and we suspect it won’t be long before the rest of the continent follows. (For what it’s worth, we’re not yet seeing the update on our devices in the UK.)
In addition to new Android OS features like Daydreams and lock screen widgets, the new HTC One update includes —
- Launcher bar enhancement
- Widget panel rearrangement
- New lock screen style and widget
- Enhanced behavior of the home button
- The death of the black bar
- Battery percentage in the status bar
- Quick settings
- AE/AF enhancements in the camera
As is always the case with these kinds of updates, you might have to wait a little longer depending on where you bought your phone, and if you have carrier-branded HTC One then that might add several weeks to your wait. In any case, if you’ve got a European HTC One, head to Settings > About > Software updates and let us know if you’re getting the update yet.
