HTC One GPE getting Android 4.4 KitKat

The Android 4.4 KitKat update for the HTC One Google Play Edition has been ready for a little over a week and is finally starting its rollout. The update should be available over the air, but you can also download it from here:

Android 4.3 JWR66Y to Android 4.4 KitKat KRT16S for HTC One Google Play Edition

The update weighs in at 305MB. It brings the new ART runtime, which Google is vetting to replace Dalvik. Users have been reporting noticeable speed increases and reduction in lag, but ART still has some way to go as certain apps crash under it.

Anyway, HTC just released the source codes for the stock and framework components of the HTC One GPe.

Samsung did the same for the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition and while there's no official announcement that the 4.4 KitKat update is ready, it can't be long now. This is also good news for the modding community, which is hard at work to port Android 4.4.

The GSM Association organizes the annual Mobile World Congress and along with it the traditional Global Mobile Awards (its 19th edition this year). More than 175 independent analysts, journalists, academics and subject matter experts throughout the world participated in the judging process. The entry deadline was November 29, 2013, so it's generally last year's products that get awarded every February.

There's a multitude of categories, some of which may sound pretty obscure unless you are in the telco business, so we've shortlisted the few categories that we think would matter most to mobile phone enthusiasts (such as ourselves).



The HTC One was named the Best Smartphone in the past year. The other nominees, which were considered, were the Apple iPhone 5S, the LG G2, the Lumia 1020 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Last year's winner was the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
"The HTC One remained one of the most advanced smartphones throughout 2013. Its great design and excellent user interface continue to provide a differentiated user experience, standing out from the competition."


The Nokia Lumia 520 was announced as the Best Low-Cost Smartphone (sub-$150 wholesale price). The rest of the considered nominees were all Android smartphones and included the Lenovo A390T, the Samsung Galaxy Young, the Sony Xperia E, and the Xiaomi Hongmi.
"A smartphone that hasn’t compromised on quality – a trailblazer for Nokia’s low-cost efforts."


The Nokia 105 was announced Best Entry-level or Featurephone. The other nominees were the Nokia 208, the Nokia 515, the Nokia Asha 210, and the Nokia Asha 503. Last year the winner was the Nokia Asha 305.
"Outstanding value for money, with impressive durability and battery life, this is driving mobile penetration into further markets."


The Apple iPad Air was pointed as the Best Mobile Tablet. The other nominees were the Apple iPad mini 2, the Google Nexus 7 (2013) and the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. At last year's awards it was the original Google Nexus 7 made by Asus.
"The iPad Air packs class-leading performance in an attractive and svelte frame, while its ecosystem has an undisputed advantage in the number of format-optimized apps."


LG was named the Most Innovative Device Manufacturer of the Year. Last year that was Samsung.
"Impressive across the board with ground-breaking innovation – LG is flexing its technological muscle."


The FiLIP wearable locator and phone watch for kids, sold exclusively by AT&T in the US, was announced as the Best Mobile-Enabled Consumer Electronics Device. Sony's SmartWatch 2 was another wearable device among the nominated for this category. Last year it was the Samsung Galaxy Camera that won this one.
"The FiLIP is a new breed of self-reliant wearable device that is a simple way for kids to reach their parents, and for parents to find their children quickly and easily. FiLIP affords parents peace of mind with the ability to quickly call and locate their children. This is a really well designed product fulfilling a clear market need and making a complex solution very simple for the user."


As for the mobile app awards, DEVICE 6 was announced as the Best Entertainment App (Gaming, Music, Sports, Video), CityMapper was called the Best Overall Mobile App, while CamMe was named the Most Innovative Mobile App.

You can check out the full list of winners here.

Be sure to check back with us tomorrow, February 26, as that's when the Best New Mobile Handset, Device or Tablet at Mobile World Congress 2014 will be announced. Which one would you pick?

MWC 2014: HTC One proglašen za najbolji pametni telefon

Za ovu nagradu glasao je odbor koji se sastoji od preko 175 nezavisnih stručnjaka iz industrije, na osnovu informacija koje dolaze iz medija i od analitičara, a nagrada odaje priznanje pametnom telefonu za koji sudije veruju da je apsolutno najbolji u celoj industriji.



Vodeći uređaj kompanije HTC, HTC One, danas je proglašen za najbolji pametni telefon u okviru Global Mobile Award događaja, čime je potvrđen vrhunski dizajn, kao i vodeće mesto kompanije u oblasti inovacija.

Godinu dana nakon što je predstavljen na tržištu prošlog februara, HTC One je i dalje u prvom planu industrije mobilnih uređaja i postavlja standarde uz pomoć inovacija poput HTC BlinkFeed, HTC BoomSound, UltraPixel kamere i aluminijumskog kućišta, a sve to donosi revoluciju u iskustvu korisnika širom sveta kada su u pitanju mobilni telefoni.

- Izuzetno smo ponosni što je HTC One i dalje prepoznat i priznat kao pametni telefon koji podiže standarde svojim elegantnim dizajnom, kao i superiornim audio karakteristikama i impresivnom funkcionalnošću. HTC One je dobio još jednu međunarodnu nagradu, što pokazuje da je uređaj podigao iskustvo korišćenja mobilnih telefona na viši nivo, nastavljajući da izdvaja kompaniju HTC od konkurencije. Unapred se radujemo nastavku ovog uspeha pomoću daljih izvanrednih inovacija koje su u planu za naredne mesece – izjavio je direktor kompanije HTC, Piter Čou.

HTC One je i prošle godine osvojio i nagradu u okviru Global Mobile Award događaja na Svetskom kongresu mobilne telefonije 2013 za “Najbolji novi telefon, uređaj ili tablet“.

da li ste ikada imali lag na ovom telefonu ili neki bag ili restart?

Ja jos nikad!

Godinu dana kasnije, idalje prelep kao prvi dan!

eh kad bi na narednom modelu stavili neku jaču bateriju koju korisnik može menjati i da se on/off dugme stavi na neku normlanu poziciju (ne gore levo, to je promašaj teški  ) razvalili bi samsung ove godine...

Izasao Update Android 4.4.3
