Thanks for the replies. The problem might have been due to contact with water because it was raining that day, though I'm almost sure that my phone was never wet. I was able to stop by a local Verizon retail store and they confirmed it was a hardware issue. I'm set to get a new replacement...

My phone just started acting weird a couple days ago -- the volume controls won't leave the screen, which is really annoying at this point :angry:. I think there's something wrong with the actual buttons on the side of my 8X because it's almost as if the volume down button is being held down. I...

My 8X has not been connected to a source of power at all since around 11AM yesterday morning, and yet I'm just only now at 21%. This is incredible! I'm not constantly on my phone, of course, and sometimes when I'm in an area with Wi-Fi or when I'm in basement areas, I'll turn off my Cellular...

My biggest point of contention is far from much needed apps such as Instagram; instead, it is toward promised apps, particularly Pandora and Temple Run. When Microsoft first announced Windows Phone 8 at their press event, they made announcements regarding the availability of these apps, which...

Perhaps this might be related to the larger sync issues everyone has had resulting from installing Skype. Try uninstalling Skype and restarting your phone and see if that helps the problem.

Can we all just have a celebratory party right now?! Not only is this a super win for the platform, this is also indeed a great win for the HTC 8X too -- it's one of the bigger reasons people often chose the 920 over our phone and now the playing field is a little bit more level -- in this regard.

I found an older posting with what I think is my same issue: http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-8/205932-messaging-app-problem.html -- I have accounts that are having a problem syncing, Google, Twitter, and my Microsoft account. The user at the bottom recommends uninstalling Skype. I...

Aside from the issue I previously posted regarding me not receiving texts (I still feel my phone conspires against me and fails to give me a text here and there), it seems my Messaging App is buggy as of today. The app sometimes just 'force closes' (I'm an ex-Android user so I'm using...

To answer the question posed as critical, I did not port; I have been with Verizon for several years now. I had almost forgotten that I didn't receive some of my old messages when I first posted this. I've followed the recommendation above me and since turned off my International Assist but I...

Has anyone invested yet in a screen protector for this phone? I love the way the screen looks and even feels but I can't help feeling that it might one day meet concrete, and I wanted advice on the best protection. Is there any product out there on the market that you recommend that doesn't...

I actually had this same exact issue yesterday when I reset my HTC 8X and restored it from a backup. There were about 5 or 6 apps that stayed on the store and didn't download. I restored all the apps I already needed, so I just deleted all of them after trying to get them working. Maybe it's...

It's a shame that we must have workarounds for functionality that should work out of the box. I've looked through the Help/Tips in the included WP8 app and I haven't so far found anything yet on this issue. I also restored my phone from a backup and I still never received the texts I've been missing

Hello all, I recently purchased a Verizon HTC 8X. While I enjoy the phone overall and am still constantly learning how to adapt to this ecosystem after coming from Android, one of the most frustrating experiences for me has definitely been my messages. Aside from the app combining my FB and SMS...

It is definitely either very popular or production for the color just isn't as high as the other two. I bought a red 8X from an online retailer and had to wait almost a week since it was backordered when I could've had the other colors the same day. Most other retailers I checked don't have it...

I've been searching around and comparing sales prices for the 8X, and finally took the opportunity to buy one yesterday. Let's Talk (Cell Phones for free with Cell Phone Plans from Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint, and more) is currently selling them to new customers and upgrades for just...
