HTC has not had a very good start to this years flagship device, the HTC One M9. Prior to launch there were reports of the device getting extremely hot, more so than it should. Whether or not they were legitimate or not is up for debate. Shortly after launch there were camera issues that were addressed in a system update that made its way across the globe. However, the update didn’t seem to make the camera perform like many had hoped. Particularly when it came to low-light shots and washout effects from direct sunlight images. HTC is on it though and are currently starting to push out an update in Europe and Taiwan that will bring the software up to version 1.4.401.5.
The update is targeting the camera issue which tweaks the auto-exposure setting to reduce the wash-out effects of direct sunlight shots, reduce over processing to end the blur and noise in low-light shots and some color correction to tone down the green and yellow effects seen “extreme lighting conditions.” All of which are certainly going to be welcomed fixes.
The update also brings along some tweaks to the power management of the device, particularly when running intensive apps like Facebook and YouTube. Users will also see a decrease in heat from device when charging from a Quick Charge 2.0 adapter.
As I mentioned above, the update is labeled as version 1.4.401.5 and is currently only headed out to Europe and Taiwan. I expect it to find its way to the US carriers relatively soon though.
