Mysterious htc 8s update

[Jaskys]

So i got promt to install and update, but it's 450mbs.
and i only got 90...
Is it worth whiping your phone to install this update ?
Does it add anything new ?

 

[diavol]

Maybe it is a Portico update?
If it is, then its worth updating

 

[Jaskys]

Nope, i had portico at december.
I updated already and noticed super fast battery drain,5 times more fluid OS, messaging doesn't have connecting issues.

Updating right now!

EDIT: After update:
OS version: 8.0.10211.204
firm: 1030.54.20001.411

I can`t see anything new in terms of functions.

Could You post Your current OS and firmware version, please ?

Firmware version, Radio software version and Bootloader version were changed for me. Here is what I have noticed so far:
- the OS feels more fluid
- no need to relaunch People hub after signing in with messenger
- headphone button starts playing music while the display isn't on (it wasn't like that before, at least for me. you had to have your display turned on, locked or not, but turned on. thankfully that changed after updating)

Didn't notice any other changes, but overall my 8S feels more stable and fluid

I don`t have previous version number which was on my phone but I bought it with Portico preinstalled. Maybe it was not the final portico number.

Or rather just the FW is updated, not the OS. I'm curious if it solves the "Beats Audio not working" problem with YT and other apps ?
From what I've seen the 8X'ers also got some update.
BTW. What carrier are You on ?

 

[Gnax]

If anyone interested here's specific numbers:
Firmware revision number: 1030.54.10403.411 -> 1030.54.20001.411
Radio software version: 1.11b.3054.25_10.13.30.54P ->1.13b.3054.31_10.18.30.54
Bootloader version 0.0.1030.54(159870) -> 0.0.1030.54(164172)

Also noticed than in "About" page line "SIM ID 0: XXXXXXXXX" has been removed.

No carrier. Unlocked phone.

yep, got the same update a couple of minutes ago, it downloaded about 400+ mb, took about 15 min in total to install. The update process was smooth, and it didn't use any space as far as i can see, i have the same amount i had before the update, everything works fine, and indeed the UI feels smoother, and for some apps, the loading time is less now, so overall i like this new update, and it is not portico, because i had portico, the phone came with it, this is something else.

Same here aswell, especially like that messenger works perfectly now.

So this is Portico AFAIK.

Portico is an OS update and this update is a firmware.
All htcs got Portico at december.

Sure, right. I just noticed You already had Portico I got my 8S in February and it had Portico onboard, too.
Could somebody check the Beats Audio functionality ?

 

[Alex Ionas]

as far as i can see, Beats Audio works in Metrotube, for me at least.

 

[ljoga]

I can't install the update because my other folder is too big.

Anyone found a solution? Shrink storage frees like 100mb, not enough.

FW revision number: 1030.54.11002.411 - says "my phone is up to date"
and it is unbranded (east europe)

 

[stefcky]

I bought an 8S from my carrier in January and I just got two notifications about an update. One is from the "Phone update" feature and requires me to make 420MB of storage free. The other one is a SMS from my carrier that I should send back my phone, so that they can update it (it was suggested by HTC, they say)... Could it be the same update? Will I be OK if I just do the Phone update and not send the phone back to the carrier? Thanks!

 

[Anton Brink]

I can't receive sms after installing this update! Tried everything possible, including a factory reset and nothing works. anyone else have this issue?

 

[Stoian]

Text messages work fine for me, I have factory unlocked unbranded 8S
