happens – in addition to various contractual characteristics – also by removing the manufacturer’s own additions and GUI skins. Porting this little program takes experience, a lot of time that would be invested in Google’s view of better elsewhere.

Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One are both available as a Google Edition – the main difference is the absence of the GUI of the manufacturer …

Nevertheless, Google is here – unlike in the fully developed devices under its own ranks – at least to some degree dependent on the goodwill of the manufacturer. HTC promised after the announcement of KitKat that the upgrade was completed within fifteen days.

An American in HTC’s Twitter account be confirmed schienener Tweet this promise. Its content is translated as follows:
Good News! We have spent the code of KitKat updates to the Google Play edition of the HTC one to Google. Google now alone decides when the update will be delivered via the Play Store …

It would

– seen tactically – most unwise of Google, to allow time unnecessarily in the delivery of the operating system. Theoretically, the update already available Monday or Tuesday of the Play Store – Information übwer the best hidden features of Android 4.4 you will find, among other things here

.

is completely unclear, however, when the “official” HTC One gets an update. The U.S. Department of the tradition manufacturer promised that the update will be available within 90 days. Since HTC has its promise in terms of Play Store version fully complied with, it is very likely that the HTC Sense version is based on the latest update in mid-February.
