VZW HTC 8x Update

[jcagga]

No, the one where Beats Audio doesn't always activate even when it says it does. You had to unplug and replug your headphones in before it actually worked. I was scanning the change log with Hardware Tests, and one change showed something involving Beats Audio, and I'm assuming that's what it was that was fixed. Haven't had a chance to confirm as it's 11:00 at night here, but I will test in the morning.

That's weird. I never had that issue.

Beats Audio still messed up!

If we're really getting into the nitty gritty here, I did a factory reset after updating and my default ringtone changed to "PM Cubes" from the old "VZW Airwaves." Not that anyone really cares.

More importantly, but with less certainty, my cell reception seems to be better. My house is an area with a constant one to two bars of LTE, and when I talk on the phone I have to go to the back of my house for people to be able to understand me. Last night I had a crystal clear conversation (according to my interlocutor) in the front of my house, where people usually can't make out what I'm saying.

Any occasional OS stuttering still?

I can't think of any stutters I've had since I've updated. Hopefully it stays that way!

I never did hard reset my 8x but had to delete some games. Over 9gbs of "other storage" (yes I tried shrink storage and other methods). Update went successful.

Yeah so I guess my sim card is stuck since I used tape lol. Oh well.

HTC8x Verizon (US)

Here's the info from the 'Hardware Tests' app on this update. There were 82 'packages'/components to this update

 

[berty6294]

Oh... so basically everything lol

 

[rocking23nf]

they should be forced to provide change logs. I bet if i called HTC they would have no idea what was updated.

 

[segadc]

Wow thanks!

Well as you can see, the 2/20/13/update (which was Portico) had 389 components. So this was about a quarter the size of that update. But there does seem to be quite a few things tweaked across the board. Maybe one of our s/w experts at the forum here can figure out more precisely as to what the packages/components relate.

Update: At least for Verizon users, you are evidently getting this update too and it fixes three items (thanks, aceoforder):
? Fixes the "SIM CARD NOT DETECTED" error
? Fixes an issue with Skype calls not having audio
? A battery-drain bug that can occur when a user enables Internet Sharing and then turns it off

Just got mine. I got the volume notification, but so far can see no changes.

Same update received international version of this phone.
After analyzing I found that update contains only files from HTC and Qualcomm.
Can't say much about Qualcomm updates, but for HTC I can see that these drivers\services have been updated:
- Low Space service - could it help with other storage now?
- Sensors
- Battery provision
- ACPI
- Bluetooth
- NFC
- Touch panel driver (from Synaptics)
- Headset
and a few other things which is hard to understand by its name. For example "weathervideo",

Hey! My clock is always on in the upper right corner, now. Was this always like that?
Also, the ring sounds different, and seems to go back to 21/30 when I wake the phone up.
Still no "other" fix, though.

The clock was always like that.

I also noticed that my volume goes to 21 when I restart my phone.

What kind of stuttering does the OS suffers? Is it too occasional, too annoying?


I was thinking between buying HTC 8x and HTC One, and HTC 8X is much cheaper.

My other storage went from 2.5GB to 900MB after the update
