Update for 8X

[benryder]

Hi there,

International unlocked 8X here. Updated a couple of days ago to the latest version and firmware. All has been going fine until my journey home on the London Underground today when I got a familiar vibrate followed by a reboot.

Only 1 so far, but the update may not have fixed it..

Anyone else with an unlocked/unbranded 8X not have any of the updates yet? Getting slightly worried here. ...

I've got an unbranded/unlocked version too. Also no update yet. I'm in North America. Hoping this update will fix some bugs 1. Looses carrier data connection when it goes to sleep and required a reboot to get it back. Anyone else experiencing this?

Received the portico update but firmware still on 10022. UK purchased unlocked black model.

Wow, these reports of battery improvement weren't kidding.
Since updating the 8X my battery life is averaging 1% per hour drain on idle, and that's with wifi set to always on under lock and with 5 background tasks running (inc weather updates).

Got my update on O2 Friday morning and i had a whole host of issues before the update. Reinstalled all my apps, got everything on and have had no issues. Charged the phone overnight Friday, heavy use all weekend and ive only just stuck it on charge when i got into work at 8am this morning had the battery critical alert come up at 6am when my alarm went off. Very impressed. And no issues.

Question: When you switch your phone off. Then remove the SIM tray... does your phone start on its own?

The 10022 firmware seems to be one of the oldest ones around. Here you first install Portico, then once you have it a few days later you can check for updates again and you should get an update to a recent firmware. While starting with firmware 10024, when you install Portico you get the Firmware update at the same time.

Mine does.

I've a suspicion all updates have stopped as of a few days ago. It was just a small test mostly in parts of Europe. I've got a few issues with my phone I'm eager to have fixed with updates. I've got the oldest OS/Firmware around: 9903/10006!

The reboot issue most people are reporting is probably not related to a hardware version but rather a software problem as it seems to happen on 920 as well.

Who is your carrier? is the device locked?

Well I think it is hardware cause so many 8X 920 don't have the problem. I think those have defective SOCs.

It's always likely some of the hardwares would be faulty but I doubt that is the problem with bulk of the users. Specially when the reboot problem seems to go away if you don't use facebook sync. Also, Microsoft acknowledged the problem and promised to fix it in software updates.

I have a problem, I bought a 8x yesterday and tried to update it OTA, but at the end of the download, I got a message "We downloaded the update, but couldn't launch it(80188253)". It's not the exact sentence because my phone is in french. I can't find what that error code means anywhere and I don't find a way to restart the update.
Has anyone of youhad the same problem?

The update for T-Mobile HTC 8X phones starts rolling out Wednesday 12/19. Here's my source Support: Software update: Windows Phone 8X by HTC and that's great news. Not as long of a wait as I was expecting! :grin:
