The HTC One M9 Camera Improvement Update is already launched and is downloadable for users in North America.
The update, which could be downloaded from HTC's official website, introduces various bug fixes and improvements and addresses handset heating issues aside from providing the HTC One M9 Camera Improvement Update.
The official site also provides other details on and clear instructions on how to download the improvement update which can either be done as an over-the-air update or as a 2.1GB pc download.
After downloading the HTC One M9 Camera Improvement Update, users' software version should be 1.32.502.31, and the site further strongly advises that all users whose phones have a lower version to update immediately.
The HTC update, considered by some as a minor improvement, first rolled out on Sprint and T-Mobile, and is now rolling out on AT&T and other HTC One M9 handsets in the US. Verizon models already had the improvement update upon launching, so there is no need to download the update anymore (users commented Verizon models' cameras work great).
The HTC One Camera Improvement Update comes at the heels of the Taiwanese phone manufacturer's flagship launch in the US which gave a negative impression on potential buyers of the unit.
Nonetheless, current users still noted the significant improvement in the performance of the camera, which users reported to have huge problems in taking a clear picture (and always ends up looking shaky).
Less heard of is the alleged heating issues that was reported, but with the HTC One M9's camera issues, HTC left no stone unturned, treated it seriously, and set out fixes for the apparent thermal issue the unit has.
And with HTC already gaining a bad press by announcing that better version of the flagship phone is not reaching North America (supposedly an exclusive China only unit, which was later released in India as reported and later to Europe), the company addressing the problem early on is a good sign that it is still valuing its North American clientele.
It is safe to say that the HTC One M9 Camera Improvement Update is a step towards the right direction.
