So, I had a HTC 8X on Verizon for roughly 2 weeks but I ran into constant issues so I returned it back for an iPhone 5 seeing as how I had a iPhone 4 previously and enjoyed my experience with it. Some issues I had with my 8X was of course my batter life, no group me notifications (when I had turned them on in the app and in my settings), can't tag people when posting to twitter or facebook form the me tile, I had contacts calling me and the number would pop up instead of their name which resulted in me ignoring the call seeing as how I "didn't know the individual", I dislike how the photos has many many albums I wish it was just one large album or gave you an option to change that.
Over all I loved the phone it was half the price of an iPhone did everything I needed but had minor issues with it that I couldn't adjust to. But honestly, I love the OS and I miss it a lot. I have been reading up on all sorts of battery life issues and possible fixes but it seems as though everyone is having mixed results. Now I know the new update is still fresh and is only available on some carriers and only the HTC 8X; having said that I was wondering if this "Portico" update has improved the battery life even the slightest bit. The day I decided I needed to trade it back in for an iPhone was when I unplugged it with a full charge at noon then went to work from 1-9 followed by the bar with some friends afterwards then the battery was dead by 11pm. I was at work all day so I had moderately used it. I understand the Portico update is brand new and people may not have had time to notice any changes but please do report back to this thread with any updates or specific bugs you may have noticed.
I miss my HTC 8X on Verizon... please help me decide to get it back by the end of December for I am stuck with my iPhone 5 by giving me your feedback about the new update.
Now I am aware of the fixes it did have was always connect to wifi, SMS drafts, and SMS responses to calls but lets be real is that really that important? The only place I dont get signal is in my basement which is a rare occasion. I am usually connected to wifi or have at least 2-3 bars of signal....
