Fix HTC One M9 Overheating Issue With Software Update OTA (v1.40.401.5)

The Snapdragon 810 chipset suffers from overheating issues and this is a fact. Problems with the processor appeared before it even made its way into the first batch of flagship devices. But these issues were confirmed when the HTC One M9 was launched. Just a few days after the release of the HTC One M9, users started reporting temperatures as high as 70°C, and if for some reason you phone reached this kind of temperature too, you know how uncomfortable it is to use the phone.

Recently, Sony released the Sony Xperia Z4/Z3+ with the Snapdragon 810 chipset and reports about the device reaching high temperatures surfaced just a few days later. A few days ago, Sony acknowledged that there is indeed a serious problem with high temperatures and they are working on a fix which will be released this summer.

There are better news about HTC One M9 though. Since the phone has been on the market for a few months, HTC developers have worked for a fix to solve the One M9 overheating issue. A software update went public a few weeks ago which didn’t fix issue.

However, the true fix has just arrived. Users over at XDA forums have reported a new OTA software update (v1.40.401.5) where the changelog includes thermal improvements and camera improvements. After the user applied the update, he reported the news that everyone wanted to hear, better performance and lower temperatures. According to the user, the device now runs 10°C lower, drastically improving performance. Apparently, the temperature doesn’t exceed 40°C when the phone is charging.

The software update should roll out to all HTC One M9 devices in the upcoming days. To update, head over to Settings > About > Software Updates. Download and install the latest build (v1.40.401.5) and you are good to go.

  1. Hello. i recived the update OTA but i can’t install it. my device is non rooted and it continue saying Update aborted… Can you help me?

  2. This software update for the HTC One M9, addressing the overheating issue through OTA (Over-The-Air) delivery, is a prime example of how IT project documents come into play in resolving technical issues efficiently. Behind this update likely lies a comprehensive set of project documents, including issue tracking reports, technical specifications, and release notes.

    Issue tracking reports would have documented user complaints and internal testing results related to the overheating problem, providing crucial insights into the root cause and potential solutions. Technical specifications would have outlined the necessary changes to the device’s firmware to mitigate overheating, ensuring that the update addresses the issue effectively.

    Moreover, release notes would have communicated the details of the software update to users, including instructions for installation and any additional improvements or features included in the update. By following established project documentation processes, HTC was able to identify, address, and communicate the resolution to the overheating issue swiftly, enhancing user experience and satisfaction with the HTC One M9 device.

    • That’s interesting. In the realm of IT project management, it project documents play a pivotal role in ensuring clarity, accountability, and successful project outcomes. The project charter serves as the foundation of any IT project, outlining its objectives, scope, stakeholders, and high-level requirements. It provides a roadmap for the project and ensures alignment between stakeholders regarding project goals and expectations.
