htc one s android update - how? I have a new HTC One S, which is now running 4.0.4. Although I understood that HTC released the update to 4.1, when I check for updates (Settings -> About -> Software updates -> Check Now) it returns "There are no updates available for your phone".

Do the guys in HTC push the update in chunks of devices? Can I advance myself in the queue? Can I ask for the update?
Software updates are released by the mobile network of the device as well as the device manufacturer.

It normally goes like this:


Google release a new Android version.
Manufacturers take this new Android version and modify it to work on their devices.
Manufacturers test the version, and push it out to unlocked devices first via desktop software update and then via OTA update if available.
Mobile networks/Carriers then take the Android version modified by the Manufacturer and modify it themselves to add carrier specific apps/features.
Carriers pass it onto the manufacturer to release to the public [OR] carriers release it to the public via their custom OTA app.


As such, it can take some time to get the update, however I would advise you check using the desktop program if there is one.
