do you know if it is the official 8.1 or just the fix to get the preview update 1 for the htc 8x?thanks!

It is the official 8.1.

so if we get the official 8.1 (i have the preview 8.1)
can we then take the update 1 to finally enable cortana and have live folders?

We need the firmware that comes along with the 8.1 rollout. After that we should be able to install 8.1 GDR1. If Microsoft releases it for HTC devices..
 
Hi, which update the representative was talking about? And by the way, today is 23rd, did you eventually got the update?

no ....and i contacted again and they told me they thought i was talking for M8!
then today i contacted again to ask and the representative told me to make a hard reset on my android phone!!!
i told her that 8x is a windows phone and i am asking for WP8.1 GDR1
then she told me what android version is that!
oh my god htc support sucks so much...thats why their sales are so bad
 
 
It's HTC diagnostics app for their windows phones. Oddly when trying to grab it, it says my phone (8X) isn't supported. Maybe doesn't work with the preview?
 
3rd week now and still no update from HTC for the 8X or weather or not the 8S or 8XT will be getting the update, this is poor service by HTC for their older phones, so they can focus more on the M8 handset, they really need to get this sorted as they are still lagging behind Nokia.
 
Sounds like Microsoft has some issues to iron out on 8.1.1 anyway at the moment. Gdr1 almost broke my ativ, and my 8X with the most recent update except gdr1 runs better than ever. So I'm good without for now.
Maybe the ativ needs firmware update, not sure. But it probably won't get it knowing Samsung lol.
 
The app you are talking about should be already on your htc just dial ##634# and accept that's it look for it on the wpcenter site
