HTC has earlier announced the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update to its handsets. Now, it has been confirmed that the HTC One A9 has started receiving the latest patch to the newest Android version.
According to MobileSyrup, HTC's King of Updates, Mo Versi, has taken to Twitter to let smartphone enthusiasts know that the update from Android 6.0 to 6.0.1 will be hitting the unlocked HTC One A9. Any Canadian who bought the handset has that model since no carriers have made the phone available for sale.
Phone Arena stated that the Android 6.0.1 version of Marshmallow comes with all the same features that Android 6.0 comes with, such as Doze. This feature puts an inactive phone into a deep sleep state and even cuts off apps that are running in the background to brings longer standby times and enhanced battery life.
The update also includes the new app permissions feature that let users to allow or deny permission on a feature-by-feature basis. Google Now on Tap on the other hand, is also an additional feature that gives search results based on content that is on the screen.
With Android 6.0.1, One A9 users will now receive over 200 emoji and some bug fixes. The unlocked HTC One A9 comes with a version of Android which is pretty much typical. This is the reason behind HTC's promise that the phone would receive updates no later than 15 days after they are received by Nexus handsets.
As the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update hit the HTC One A9 devices, users will receive notification that the update has arrived on their handsets. They have to make sure that they are connected to a Wi-Fi network. They also need to make sure that your battery is charged to at least 50%.
In relatated news, Android Police reported that the HTC's 2015 flagship, One M9, is finally obtaining the Marshmallow 6.0. Given that the older HTC One M8 started receiving Marshmallow at the beginning of the month, M9 owners were getting a little impatient and fretful.
If users don't see the update right now, it's possibly because Mo said it might take 24 hours for it to land in the devices. But HTC owners are advised to start checking for updates because some users have already gotten them on their units.
