Via cable and flash software on PC or slipstream (carrier update) ? I tried everything and all updates did not help me with SMS problem. If I crossflash it to Asia (TW) model, SMS problem is gone. Are you in Asia / Japan ??

Qq11, 11 Oct 2016How to upgrade to android m? Anyone please... None of the phones got updated by itself - I don't know why, one phone is rooted, other isn't. I upgraded both easily using XTC2Clip as I own one so the process is simple.
I see small improvements with bluetooth pairing, easyer to disconnect. As I use Yandex shell I don't see typical Android look n feel, so I can't say what else has changed.

HTC good, 26 Nov 2015Minimini please write more things about phone in UK. Was unlocked in Japan? How is best to sor... moreSorry for late reply... you probably got your answers, but I'll answer for the sake of the others who might google the topic.
- It came unlocked S-ON. I set it to S-OFF. Ebay seller says AU unlocked it.
- You can root with TWRC, yes it's worth of because you can't live with their bloatware.
Two additional experiences:
- Both get very hot when recording video in 4K resolution. I tested 4K recording in winter outside.
- I updated both phones (Taiwan and JP) to latest Android, Marshmallow. Nothing has improved at all... I am disappointed that JP version still has issue with "+" when sending SMS. They didn't fix "+" translation when sending SMS so it's still being translated 010 which is exit code for Japan even if you travel abroad. This translation has to depend on the country and operator or should be correctly put in the ROM. I hear people manage fixing problem by replacing mms.apk or providers.apk but I don't know nor have time to try.

After upgrade to OS Marshmallow and download Boost+ from Play Store, I do not have any heating issues while using camera, playing games, watching video. For normally used (i.e. Call, Message, Whatsapp, browsing) my battery life performance are between 1-2 days. I can attach picture in SMS feature (rarely used). The performance after 8 months used, still great. Only issues on NFC and contact name.
