Android 4.4.3 coming to Verizon's HTC One (M8) on Wednesday; includes Extreme Power Saving Mode

Last month, two HTC executives (Mo Versi and Jason Mackenzie) said that the Verizon version of the HTC One (M8) would finally receive the Android 4.4.3 update in early September. Well, we have some good news for Big Red customers totin' HTC's flagship handset. A tweet from Mo Versi sent on Monday, reveals that the long awaited update will finally start rolling out on Wednesday.

The Android 4.4.3 update for Verizon's variant of the HTC One (M8) should be the phone's last before Android L. That is because HTC took the security updates from Android 4.4.4 and added them to the Android 4.4.3 update. Improvements will be seen for BoomSound, Quick Settings and the Motion Launcher. Other enhancements will be available for the Camera, Settings, Gallery and HTC Sync manager.

But the most exciting part of the update, something that Verizon customers with the HTC One (M8) have been waiting for, is the Extreme Power Savings Mode. This is a setting that halts all essential operations, limiting the device to making and taking calls, sending and receiving texts, and looking at emails manually. By doing this, you will be able to let each 1% of battery life last for three hours. That means you could keep your phone running for 24 hours with just 8% of battery life remaining.

The update will be going out OTA, so if you own the HTC One (M8) from Verizon, keep your eyes peeled for the notification that the update has arrived, starting on Wednesday.

HTC offers 100 GB of free Google Drive storage space on 5 Android smartphones

HTC today announced that owners of select Android handsets are now eligible for 100 GB of free storage space on Google Drive. The handsets we’re talking about are the HTC One (M8) flagship, the HTC Desire 816, HTC Desire 610, HTC One Remix, and the relatively old HTC One max. As with HTC’s previous offering (which included 50 GB of free storage
space for these devices), the new one is good for 2 years from the date you redeem it.

We’re surprised not to see the HTC One mini 2 on the list above - since the One Remix is basically a renamed One mini 2 for Verizon. Also, the One (E8) probably deserved to be there as well. Anyway, in case you already redeemed your free Google Drive storage space on your HTC handset prior to this new offer, it doesn’t look like you can upgrade to 100 GB. If you didn’t redeem it, you can do so after launching the Google Drive app that’s pre-loaded on your smartphone.

As you may know, Google offers 15 GB of free Drive storage space to all Android users, and asks $1.99 for 100 GB per month - so HTC theoretically enables you to save $47.76 in two years (assuming you have an eligible handset).
