Well look at what we have here. Here’s the HTC One (M9) on video leaving nothing to the imagination.

Thankfully we were able to pull the YouTube links before that happened.
The videos show off a two-toned metal finish, Dolby Audio BoomSound, the camera software, and various other software enhancements. For example, they show you some new customizations for your home screen and BlinkFeed now shows you meal suggestions. The home widget will also display different apps depending on your location.
The camera is confirmed to be 20 MP and boasts a lot of new features like being able to combine images or add geometric shapes such as bubbles and flowers to your existing images.

One M9 won’t see many aesthetic changes, new videos and images prove it
Over the weekend new press renders arrived to the web, showing off the HTC One M9 in what allegedly was its final form. For those that had been hoping that Evleaks’ claim of a true redesign was right, the latest images certainly made the idea less likely. Still hoping that the One M9 doesn’t end up looking near-identical to its predecessor? Unfortunately, the latest batch of news is here to dash all your dreams.
Earlier today, Upleaks brought a few new images that helped further cement the idea that the One M9 will be a pretty minor update in terms of aesthetics. If images above aren’t enough for you, the leaker has now introduced three videos that should destroy any shred of doubt that remained. The new videos show off Sense’s new location-based app widget, the Sense theme engine and give us a clear look at the phone’s design. If this really is the M9 – as all signs now point to – that means the phone won’t be ugly by any means, but it won’t exactly see a major jump forward in design either.
Is there any chance that this phone isn’t the M9? Rumors have swirled around the idea of an upgraded M8 that offer a better camera and will fit into the mid-range segment, but considering the leaked images have “M9” on them, we’d say it’s pretty much guaranteed that the latest version of the HTC One really is sticking closely to the M8’s looks. That or HTC is doing the best trolling job the Internet has ever seen.
What do you think? Okay with HTC pulling a Samsung-like move of sorts, or does HTC’s lack of changes make you less excited for HTC’s latest flagship? As a curious side note, it seems that @upleaks is currenly not on Twitter anymore, though we have no clue as to why the page has seemingly been removed.
New renders of HTC One M9 surface in advertising pieces
A few days ago some renders of the HTC One M9 surfaced that appeared to show the device from just about every angle. Twitter tipster @upleaks has now posted a couple marketing pieces that show the device and likely confirm the accuracy of the early leaked images. One of the images was prepared for Qualcomm to help highlight the use of their Snapdragon processor in the smartphone. The other image is for use in an Asian market.
The new renders appear to confirm the continuance of the telltale speaker grills on the front of the HTC One M9, similar to previous HTC flagship iterations. Likewise, we see in one of the images the back of the smartphone revealing the single, larger camera sensor instead of the Duo Camera configuration the HTC One M8 has.
More renders are likely to surface over the next few days as we get closer to the official unveiling at MWC 2015.

Leaked HTC One M9 videos confirm new cameras and software tricks
If HTC was hoping to keep at least some of the One M9’s details a secret, it’s going to be sorely disappointed. Well-known tipster @Upleaks has posted three promo videos that reveal… well, just about everything. They confirm that the M9 will have a much higher-resolution 20-megapixel camera at the back, as well as an UltraPixel (likely 4MP) front cam for your low-light selfies. You’ll also get Dolby surround sound from the One’s signature BoomSound speakers. And that’s just the hardware — there’s plenty on the software side, too.
The updated version of Sense shown in the leak isn’t as dramatic a shift as you might have seen in the past, but there are definitely some noteworthy features. There’s support for customizable themes, a widget that shows apps based on location (think context-aware launchers like Aviate), a new photo editor with effects like double exposure, and the ability to share media through three-finger swipes. There are still a few elements left to the rumor mill, like availability and the exact choice of processor (likely a Snapdragon 810), but it’s safe to say that HTC’s March 1st event will largely be telling you things you already know.

HTC teases improved BoomSound experience for One M9
Yesterday, HTC USA’s Twitter brought us another teaser for the device being unveiled March 1st.
Rumor has it: BoomSound on the HTC [letter][number] is SO [adverb] powerful that it’ll [verb] your [noun] off. [interjection], bro.
#madlib
In all likelihood, this is the One M9. If it was the One M8, the company wouldn’t have much reason to withhold part of the name of an already released phone.
Additionally, HTC Ireland’s Twitter account featured a short video in order to emphasize BoomSound.
We only have five more days until the beginning of MWC and the reveal of this device.

HTC teases upgraded speakers for the One (M9)
Hot on the heals of Samsung, HTC Ireland has today kicked off its own promotional campaign for its upcoming flagship smartphone of 2015, the One (M9). The Taiwanese company teased a video on Twitter earlier today, with the tagline “Get your hands on bigger boom”, followed by a reveal date of Sunday, March 1.
If the contents of this video are anything to go by, it sure looks like the One (M9) is set to have more powerful speakers on board. Nothing out of the ordinary, though, seeing as the manufacturer previously upgraded the speakers from the One (M7) to One (M8) — so it’s perfectly feasible that it will do the same with its latest variant in the One series.
Check out the teaser video below:

Here’s how to find out when your T-Mobile smartphone or tablet will receive the next software update
Probably the biggest question smartphone owners have is, “When will I get a software update?” Well T-Mobile is now making it a lot easier to find out that answer. They launched a dedicated site which will let you select your device (phone or tablet) and then find out where things stand.
Software updates have 3 stages and they include manufacturer development, T-Mobile testing, and completion. Once a manufacturer finishes development, they send it to the carrier (in this case T-Mobile) for testing. Testing checks for bugs, which could end up going back to manufacturing development. However, once the carrier (again in this case T-Mobile) is satisfied, then it’s considered completed, and the update will be rolled out. This new site will let you know at what stage your next update is at, as well as what version of Android it will be.
So for example, if you were to select the HTC One (M7), you will find out that Lollipop is in T-Mobile testing right now. This means that it could literally get approved for roll out any day now. Unfortunately, depending on how many bugs there are, it could still be a ways off. So no, you won’t get any target dates, but it will give you an idea of how things are progressing and if the manufacturer is committed to offering the most recent update.
You will be able to select from the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013), HTC One (M7), HTC One (M8), Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, and Galaxy S 5. Of course more devices will be added soon.
