Our problems coming to an end - Install to SD card coming in Windows Phone 8.1!

[flogistus]

If 8.1 will really require more than 4gb, also the developer preview won't help us.

Oh well.. We Will soon get the answers about those q's

I have to admit that our 4GB internal storage situation is worrisome.

WP 8.1 will definitely be bigger than WP8.

((((((

any news about our phone??? ((

 

[yuvrajmaheshwari]

we will be able to install it on sd card but not on class 4,but on later than that class 6,10.

According to the video below, we are definitely getting WP 8.1
At 18:50, where storage sense is explained You can see that 3.30 GB of phone storage is used, with some apps..

Yep, It's coming for HTC 8S too. Although not officialy confirmed yet by HTC. I got this info in a private message by a certian forum member who is testing the 8.1 update.

They're testing it on 8X and 8XT, but i didn't head anything about 8S, i guess they will just release standard ms version to use, without any special htc performance boosts or something simmiliar

 

[Josip Zeljko]

Yes, specifically on the HTC 8S, and other phones too. It's working fine, at least that's what he said.

If only there were a way of having enough space to do the update to 8.1

 

[flogistus]

but we have enough space!! I'm running wp 8.1 dp from the day one and it runs great!!!

 

[simon 4]

Have you not noticed your mobile 3g keeps cutting off???? I'm using the preview

You will.

Do a factory reset. That will give you appro 1.3GB free memory. Only install the Preview for Dev app (less than 1Mb). Then install the 8.1 upgrade. You will have about 970mb free after the upgrade. Then set it to install all apps to SD card. Your done.

I've done all of this. It works beautifully. I have more apps installed than before, plus Cortana, and still have 944mb free. Good luck!

 

[flogistus]

I didn't noticed any 3g issue . Have you already tried a soft reset?

 

[Josip Zeljko]

Yeah 8.1 is fantastic. Who would have thought that Asphalt 8 would run on this phone someday . This update practially made our device so much more useful.
Is anybody else having problems with Internet Explorer in 8.1 update (crashing on heavy websites, reading mode shows white screen etc.)

I got the same problem with IE, and when tap the advanced settings it keeps crashing every time.. Also have noticed that after turning off battery saver, notifications (whatsapp, etc..) for messages received while saver was on don't show like in WP8, until opening apps manualy. But in general, WP8.1 is brilliant

 

[Josip Zeljko]

You can fix those notifications. Just go into battery saver, find whatsapp, tap on it and put a checkmark on "allow this application to work in backround when batery saver is on" or something like that.
