More than two months after Sprint released the Android 5.1 update for its version of the HTC One M9, the new software update is finally rolling out to the Verizon HTC One M9. While Verizon’s One M9 owners have had to wait an inexplicably long time for the new software, the extra time allowed HTC and Verizon to bundle the Stagefright patch into a single build with Android 5.1 and all its other features.
If you haven’t yet received a system update notification on your Verizon HTC One M9, you can try pinging Verizon’s servers manually by going to Settings > System update > Check for new system update. There are very few obvious changes included with the Android 5.1 update, but most people should enjoy the tweaks to priority notifications and improvements in camera quality. Let us know how the update process goes and what new Android 5.1 features you enjoy the most.
