As far as I remember HTC promised to give all the One series phones Android 5 ( Lollipop ) in Q1 2015.
Anyone with connections with HTC know if and when approximately the update will come ?

Lol, what would you do if Lollipop still wouldn't be released? Throwing your phone away, because you don't want the previous OS/version anymore?!
I have got this phone since it's release, back in 2013, it's getting old + the forum is kinda dead + HTC has never given this phone full support, it doesn't even have an official released RUU.
Don't get me wrong i love this phone, i just want to get something more up-to-date and with better specs. :)

That would've been strike #2 by HTC.

First of all, they should be more than thankful for us putting up with their faulty engineering ( hairline cracks ).
At least they could keep the phone up to date and tweak its performance as much as they can as a "payback" for the hairline cracks.

Second that's breaking their own officially given promise about bringing Lollipop to the One Mini.

Cracks weren't the issue here! And for best performance you should use a custom rom (I never used an official rom with all the google-crap, but wait for a working Lollipop that hopefully will be reduced to minimal).

I like how Lolipop is sutable to run even on 1Ghz singlecore 512mb ram devices, but HTC cannot make it for mini versions of it's flagship cuz of and i quote - 'technical constraints with the device's ageing hardware configuration.'

What a lot of bull! another marketing strategy from HTC... THROW AWAY YOUR ''OLD'' MINI AND MINI 2 DEVICES AND BUY 'ONE MINI 3' WHICH WILL BE SOON AWAILABLE AND HAVE LOLIPOP!
I am officially saying that i WAS a HTC fan (my last 4 devices was htc's = hero - desire - sensation - one mini) but seeing what a lot of bulls they have done for consumers(even more than apple) on it's devices next device im considering some other company than HTC!

Sorry but they have finnaly lost me with it stupid money making scheme rather than thinking for consumer ! :crying: This is too much now!

I would not write it off yet. HTC UK just posted new updates page here . One mini is listed there so it is supposed to receive additional update at some point.

It's gonna stay like that.

Devices that have something coming up describe the level of completion if you check ;)
At least it is listed even if no update is currently in the process. My understanding is that devices listed are supposed to receive update sometime in the future. Others just fall into "Unlisted" category...

You're dreaming buddy.

HTC replied to me on Twitter again today.
There will be no Lollipop from HTC for the One Mini.
It's final, final, final.
