+1 for that. The 8s will not - officially - get the 8.1 through carriers, so the only way to do it is through the Preview for Developers program. Make a backup of everything you want to transfer to the new OS, do a hard reset (otherwise there won't be enough space for the updates) and before...

I installed the new updates today and they are excellent and a must have for everybody who is seriously into Windows Phone. I love the live folders on the start screen (should be implemented on Windows 8.1 as well) and Cortana is finally here, too. :cool:

Put it on the charger for a while and try turning it back on after about 15 minutes - maybe it helps.

Yes. I must be one lucky HTC customer, but I have had none of the battery problems I read about on different boards. There's usually 24 hours for me between two charges. I don't play many games, though, and I rarely use it for watching videos, so that probably helps. But other than that, I use...

I have had no problems whatsoever with my HTC 8S, the 8.1 has even made it better. However, the lack of WP support from HTC - and the lack of new functions that the Lumia's are getting - will probably push me towards a Nokia device next time.

Last night I got an update for HTC's Attentive Phone application. Since there hasn't been any HTC app updates for quite a while, I was wondering whether I got it on my 8S because I am on the Developer Preview 8.1 or did anyone with 8.0 installed get it as well?

I am on the developer preview. If you go to the Windows Store and look up "Attentive phone", Windows 8.1 (note: not 8.0) is listed as the minimum system requirement. Funnily enough, the page also says that it is not available for my phone. :) Plus: if you look at the screenshot on the windows...

Yup. Just got updated a couple of hours ago. 8S, carrier locked, Hungary. "My theory is this might be the 8.1.1 breaking driver as the 8X has been updated today." From your mouth to God's (HTC programmers') ears. :D

I actually do. It would perfectly be in the realm of their incompetence, as far as communicating and working together with their partners go. Not that HTC is any different. As soon as there's a new device around, they quickly dump on the old ones. And not just WP phones; my friends who have HTC...

So basically, HTC's not doing anything, until Microsoft does something (they have the software), but Microsoft won't release the update until HTC gives out an update, so they can deliver their update. And I bet they will be shocked why people will go with a Lumia next time (I mean those who...

Seriously, it's like a bad joke. I'm trying not to blame anybody, but this is just plain incompetence on everybody's part, HTC, MS, carriers included. Recently I have had a somewhat lengthy correspondence with my mobile service provider in my country where I asked them when WP8.1 is going to be...

"These will be offered when the official update for your phone is available. " In other words, never. :)

If I was trying to be funny, I would say that they managed to make phones (8X, 8S) that looked better than anything they have to offer with their Lumia line-up. That was a HUGE mistake on HTC's part. ;) But, since I'm not trying to be funny, I just hope it's a temporary problem and we'll be...

Yup. I didn't check for updates when it came out and later I read that it's been suspended due to the issue you mentioned. Edit.: the Lumia 620 updated just fine, so I managed to try the live folders - seems to be a neat feature. I'm looking forward to receiving it even more now on my HTC.

Seems global. HTC 8S in Hungary, got only the minor update, 899 or something. The Lumia 620 sitting next to it seems to be getting the GDR 1 update.
