Microsoft know about this problem, but haven't comfirmed it yet as a "problem" that needs to be solved, but the other folder is like a cache, and cache is used to make Windows Phone 8 Fast, it is responsible why all your apps renember your login stuff, and where u left off, information of apps, etc. Yes, they should make a "Clean" Feature soon, but it will effect the spped. A temporaly solution is rebooting your phone, it clears a lot of it. Will post update if something comes up, but as vinscg told Shrink Storage update is very nice.I'm an htc 8s owner too. I like it very much as a phone but the "other" folder issue makes it unusable. Still, nobody talks about it.
Are you sure you installed everything? When I updated, I had to install it twice. Try going for manual update again, if not it should be in the Music+Video appI'm using HTC 8S, i update it but i don't have radio. Someone help?!
Not that I know, what happen exactly?hi.
is there anybody having reboot issue after gdr2 update ?
device is htc 8s
I got update too, but it seems to me that phone is little bit slower and unstable, very little lagg and so on. Only me?
Mine definately feels more laggy. Animations stutter and sometimes the phone freezes for a few seconds. Also there is a considerable battery drain, even with battery saver on. Moreover, the phone reboots 4 to 5 times a day. Prior to GDR2 I never had these problems. I have the phone since February. However just a few hours ago I shut the phone down, removed the SIM card, cleaned it and put it back as I suspect it has something to do with the SIM card. Right now, the lagginess seems gone and also the battery drain seems less severe. Also I haven't had any reboots so far, but I keep my fingers crossed. Nothing is more annoying as a phone that you can't trust.
Sounds like a low-space problem, did the download fill up your memory?
Similarly, I had an impression that my 8S is a bit slower... now it's maybe better, but the overall impression is strange.
And yes, the battery drain looks significantly worse !
