HTC One M8 for AT&T receives software update with HD voice, battery improvements, and more

AT&T is rolling out a software update for the HTC One M8 on its network. While it may not be the Lollipop update everyone is waiting for, the new software brings Android 4.4.4 along with a significant list of changes to HTC's flagship smartphone.

Calling someone from an AT&T line with a compatible phone should result in much improved quality, thanks to the new HD voice feature. The update also brings battery life enhancements, which is always a welcome addition to modern smartphones.

The update will rollout to HTC One M8 handsets in the coming days, and you should get an OTA notification when the update is available to you. You can also go into the update menu and try to trigger it manually. Also be aware these updates are mandatory on AT&T. If you postpone too many times, the phone just updates anyway.

• Enables HD Voice
