but the second post says he has updated itThanks for letting me know. My theory is this might be the 8.1.1 breaking driver as the 8X has been updated today.
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 store page, it shows on screen windows buttons, so I assume it must have been taken on the new HTC, since, as far as I know, both 8X and 8S have dedicated touch buttons off-screen for back, Windows and find. It also lists a function called auto answer calls, which I don't have on my 8S.

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.
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 it just like you would use any smartphone: checking e-mails, listening to music, reading e-books and the occasional social media check-ins. And, occasionally, so that I don't forget it's a phone, I make calls and send texts, too.![]()
