Android 4.4.4 Update for HTC One M8 Developer Edition Now Rolling Out, Brings Eye Experience Suite

When HTC’s selfie-centric Desire EYE smartphone was announced, the Taiwanese company also introduced a new suite of camera-focused software features called Eye Experience. Users are now reporting that the HTC One M8 Android 4.4.4 update is rolling out for the Developer Edition model, bringing along the Eye Experience suite.

The new HTC One M8 DE Android 4.4.4 update is being rolled out OTA and it updates your software to version 3.28.1540.5. As I was mentioning above, the new update brings the Eye Experience software suite, besides other small improvements and bug fixes. Eye Experience includes features like Auto Selfie, Face Tracking, Split Capture, Live Makeup, and Face Fusion. As usual, the new firmware is being pushed to users in phases, which means that some of you might not be able to download and install it right away.

You probably know that once your HTC One M8 becomes eligible to receive the new Android 4.4.42 OTA update you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications panel. Tap on it, choose “Download now,” wait until the download is completed, then select “Install now.” Your smartphone should reboot and install  the new firmware. In case the system update notification failed to appear, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > About phone > Software updates > Check for software updates.

As you can see in the screenshot above, the new Android 4.4.4 update for HTC One M8 Developer Edition has a size of 235.92 MB. It’s recommended to use a stable WiFi network while downloading it in order to avoid unwanted data charges.
