HTC One M9 overheating issues supposedly fixed with software update

onem9overheatingRemember when those thermal images leaked online that showed HTC was building a portable oven out of the new M9? Good news! It looks like a software update has fixed the fire hazard ahead of its April 10th launch date. 

A post on reddit claims that HTC is pushing out an update to pre-release devices that brings thermal improvements and camera improvements. Thermal improvements aren’t something you see on changelogs very often, but in this case, it was a much needed fix. The device reportedly runs about 10 degrees cooler and never breaks 40 degrees Celsius, even when plugged in, but obviously results may vary a bit when it’s out in the real world.

Good to see HTC nipped this in the bud. Let’s just hope they didn’t do it by gimping the performance of the Snapdragon 810 to get those results.
