No, just power save on, nothing more. I searched Google and numerous people have had issues. I'll just use Timely now and thankfully it went off this morning.

Had mine 2 years, noticed the last month or so it has been draining quickly, not had time to look into it.
However I got Lollipop last week and it seems to have helped a bit.
Liking lollipop phone is more responsive, has me thinking I may stick with this a while longer before upgrading.

A few months back I installed Clean master (speed booster).
Apps that it alerted were locking up and draining battery or frequently restarting I just uninstalled off of my phone. Since then my phone has been a lot less warm and battery lasts a lot longer.

My battery life hasn't changed hugely but it doesn't drop as suddenly near the low end as it did before - it would get to 12/13% and then suddenly plummet to 5% then to 1%.
I did miss my alarm this morning however so have installed a free app as a backup in case it fails again tomorrow morning!

This x1000. Woke up to 4 builders banging on the door. Had set 3 alarms on the stock app and nothing happened
Any 3rd party you recommend?

I'd say so yes, my phone was getting a bit slow and the battery was draining pretty quickly near the last third but that's improved post Lollipop upgrade.
The only annoyance is not having the notification icons on the taskbar on my lock screen - I now just have the messages come up as dismissible notification pop ups - until it's fixed or someone finds a way around it!

I suppose using a different lockscreen app could actually bring back normal notifications, but I use smart lock which seems only compatible with the stock lockscreen.
Apart from the odd notification problem (which is more down to personal preferences) and alarm sometimes not working (which an alternative alarm app works fine), there's not really any other problems with the Lollipop update. The phone feels overall snappier/smoother and battery life seems to have improved a bit as well. Also, Sense 6 feels/looks much nicer with Material mixed in.
Might be worth doing a factory reset after the update, just to allow Lollipop to run at full performance without any of the old gunk slowing it down.

Looks like the Sense version will not get 5.1: http://www.androidcentral.com/only-google-play-edition-htc-one-m7-will-be-update-android-51
I guess we won't be getting Sense 7 either. This phone is old but I still don't feel any phones worth upgrading to

New Samsungs look like a worthy upgrade but they are too overpriced at the moment. Maybe in a few months when it has calmed down a bit...

He later said they were considering it...
Well that just sucks.. forcing upgrades to unneeded hardware just to get the latest software. My HTC Desire was stopped at Jellybean because of it's hardware limits which is fair enough, but HTC One M7 though is plenty powerful enough.
So basically Smartphones have officially hit the hardware dead end and now to sell the latest model they are locking out last years model from this years software.

To be fair its their standard and reasonably well known procedure. support for 2 years then you're stuck with whatever it had last unless you go down the root option and it makes sense given the domination of 24 month contracts.
Belated thanks!
But there is absolutely no reason to upgrade an M7, what does the M9 or galaxy S whatever do that justifies dropping the M7 in a bin and shelling out 550 quid?
I was very pleased to upgrade to the M7 after 2 years with a Sensation but I can't say I feel the same now.
