On another forum people say we updated our 8s to GDR1
I'm still downloading but my brother is sucking my speed like a mosquito
It fails regularly

OK, the error came after downloading... Let me know how it works for you! Apparently some people have managed, maybe it's only me who's stuck.

WP8.1 GDR1 just became available for the 8S using the Developer Preview. Enjoy.

Well i think someone at xda managed to pass that error by flashing ruu
You can go xda and see if that is your exact error
Im now using it cortana for UK is so dumb but its funny
And feels faster with more tiles on start screen
Some users say battery is better by now
I just installed it so im gonna comment on battery later

Thanks for the hint! I can't find it just now, just like I have difficulties finding the right RUU. My Lumia 820 is on the way, now, anyway, and if it's OK for a used phone, I'll probably give up on my 8S.

How is Cortana on an HTC 8S? And what about battery and overall speed?

Cortana is better in US but its doing just fine In UK
Battery will never be same as 8.0 but its an improvement over 8.1
Speed is also the Same as before
Overall it's great I'm totally satisfied
