Hope you will get some information.

Greetings!

Guys it is not HTC's fault because we are with Dev Preview and receive the updates directly from Microsoft
I think it may be hardware related but we'll see

HTC 8x Black(it doesn't have a label or smthn indicating it is for ATT/T-mobile or whatever)

 

[gagalovegood]

The same with 8S :'(

 

[Georgi Anastasov]

By the way has any of you guys with HTC 8x/8s devices got the update? I mean is it globally or only some of us don't get the update?

 

[thisiswhatklfisabout]

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.

I really don't think this is HTC's fault. The developer preview is released by Microsoft themself. HTC does not have any control on the update. If anyone has the answer to this, its Microsoft.

Funny thing is, the 12400.899 update was delivered to my 8S three or four weeks ago. Perhaps you didn't check for updates and it had been available all along. Or perhaps they stopped rolling it out due to the BitLocker issue or something.

No update for HTC 8X - Philippines

I hope it's just a minor glitch for this dev preview

No I believe that's the update that was pulled by Microsoft shortly after it came out due to a problem with Lumias.

Great. Just great. I've been waiting for Cortana for like 3 months now, and FINALLY, as I was hoping I'd FINALLY FREAKING GET IT... Another middle finger from Microsoft. What the heck ? Why would it even not be there at all ? Why ? What has HTC ever done to them, lol !?

 

[thisiswhatklfisabout]

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.

 

[thisiswhatklfisabout]

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 getting this update soon.

(Disclaimer: I'm not hating on Lumias - in fact, my next phone is probably gonna be a Lumia. I was just kidding - or not...)

Here with 8s. I checked for the update every 2 days but it's pulled from microsoft some time ago. Now i get this small update but not 8.1 U1

 

[joecatskill]

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.

8X in UK - wasn't able to get US version, am not able to get UK version. Smug mate with Lumia is... smug.

Also reporting in with HTC 8x and no upgrade available to 8.1 Update as of just now.

 

[anon(5579515)]

So Joe tweeted that Update 1 is now live around the world. I checked again, and was let down...

 

[Daniel Fields]

Thanks for looking into this as the owners of this phone will be very interested in the outcome. The HTC 8X has been a great phone. the weight and size is really ideal. I was hoping to hold on to it till the McLaren or next big Windows phone was out. I have a 521 at home that I got on eBay that I use only for podcasts and music. if that cheap phone gets 8.1 update 1 and the 8X doesn't that will be very disappointing.

 

[Mattsessions]

I'm hanging out there too with an 8X on T-Mobile. I am checking the phone update screen often, and if I catch anything I will post if WPC doesn't first.

Problem confirmed - HTC 8X in Norway. All previous updates have gone without a hitch. Perhaps connected to the earlier BitLocker issue.
