    HTC 8X not in GDR1 Dev Preview

    I love my 8x with is slim design and great camera too. I am glad they are making HTC update their firmware though since I still get text message cannot send messages on a regular basis. I spoke with an HTC tech who said it was a firmware issue and they "were aware of it." Perhaps the update...

    HTC 8X not in GDR1 Dev Preview

    Same for my 8x on Verizon. Received the first update @ 12:30 PM EST and not the GDR regardless of the number of time I asked to check for the update (at least 10). Let's hope it rolls out later today. Thanks Daniel for calling Microsoft. I'll bet that lights a fire.

    I've had that happen but also find that she won't connect to services while on wifi 📶 but will connect on CMDA/LTE. Strange. Anyone else?

    Verizon 8x problems texting "can't send message Try Again"

    Well having installed GDR3 hasn't completely wiped out this problem. I was able to speak with an HTC tech and he was less than helpful. He said HTC is aware of the problem and will be addressing it soon. No explanation or temporary work around. Really felt like he was pretty indifferent to the...

    Verizon 8x problems texting "can't send message Try Again"

    Yeah I've tried to do that and it seems to be a very temporary fix. Just installed GDR3 and am hoping that it will do the trick. Thank you for help.

    I just updated to GDR3 and so far (one day of very mild use) it seems to have fix the text messaging issue. I also have seen better battery power management too. Time will tell. Thank you.

    Verizon 8x problems texting "can't send message Try Again"

    What I'm describing here has happened now on two refurbish 8x's I've received from Verizon. Quite often I'll send a text and get "can't send message Try Again?" error message. Sometimes if I try again and it takes two attempts then goes trough on try #3. Sometimes I have to delete the thread...

    Hey folks! Update time. After I updated the executive caddie to the latest version, which is pretty freaking slick now. My phone has not reset. I have also rid myself of a few apps that I didn't really use and have updated other software as updates become available. So very buttery again and...

    News for you Verizon bros

    I bet it will be Windows 8 and just in time for the holidays. It really does make sense particularly since we've waited this long and AT&T rolled out the Lumia, Verizon needs a flagship Windows Phone device.

    After VZW 8107 update phone reboots...anyone else?

    Thanks folks. I think I've isolated the issue with the Executive Caddie app and have contacted them. They've indicated a new update is coming out in a couple of days that should fix any issue and are going to see what they have for my phone on their server. If this doesn't resolve the issue the...

    8107 Update on Vzw?

    No I didn't lose the indicator on my live tile or the light at the top of the Trophy (green means message waiting, red - no message). I do seem to have better coverage too.
