WP 8.1 Update 1 for HTC 8X?

[costas60]

Nothing from Voda Australia
HTC cancelled updates in Australia
NO idea why

Battery life seems to be shorter with windows phone 8.1, has anyone noticed this too?

Like it has been cut in half, yes, four hours a day is a good day.

I'd double-check what apps you're running. I keep my phone fairly minimal, and I can get over 2 days out of it on light usage. But I also know a few apps (mainly games, but not solely so) which eat the battery life for breakfast.

Plus of course the usual comments about turning off things like location and wifi when you don't need them.

I lost about 25-30% of my battery life with the update.

8X unlocked in Romania, still no official 8.1 or GDR1. The phone's ROM appears to be an Australian one. But still nothing.

Guys?

Received Critical update for random reboot issue on Windows phone 8.1, but Can't install due to 0x80188308 error

Same issue, 0x80188308 I can't install the critical update, too. But i would need it, because my 8X often reboots :/

I'm also getting the same error I think resetting is the only solution to get the update.

The 0x80188308 error is discussed in the Windows Central HTC forum thread here:

I had a successful resolution of updating error issue by creating more space on Phone (moved entire Music folder contents to Desktop)....reboot and retry to update.

Maybe give that a try....worked for me. I really think it's an System partition space issue but that an reset/re-sync of System space is forced by any number of several venues.....of which removing Music contents seems to be one...at least for me. Give it an try...hope it helps.

Moved my entire music and camera contents, then I had over 5gb free space and I still get the same problem!

Well, moving camera roll or Music folder didn't work for me, since the problem is related with system partition space. I had nearly 8GB free space, still no go. System files occupied nearly 5.09 GB (don't know why!) of space. So I found a different solution for it:
1. Firstly download Storage Cleaner app from store (I don't have enough post counts to insert link! It's published by Venz with 29570 reviews)
2. Go to time + date settings > turn off "set date and time automatically" > then change year to 2500 (you may get some app notifications, due to sudden time shift, ignore them)
3. Now open storage cleaner app > Click Begin > Let it occupy all the space (even 8GB in my case ) and only few Kb's left> Repeat this process twice or thrice, as you can see some space get automatically released (~200 MB). Then restart your phone. After this step, my System files decreased from 5.09 GB to 3.28 GB! Repeat Step 3 again.
4. Now delete the Storage Cleaner app > change back the year > check for update > restart now.
This worked for me, Hope it works for others too

Backed up my phone, reset it, downloaded the update and finally the update installed correctly!

Guys?

Austrian or Australian? HTC has only just released WP8.1 GDR1 for Australia on 2 July 2015. Rollout will take up to 10 days. I have no idea about Austria, sorry.

For those of you who updated to 8.1 Update 1 on Verizon before Verizon's official February 2015 update via Preview for Developers, you can now use WPRT to get the 8.1 Update 1 with the new firmware for 8.1 update 1 (which Verizon as of September 2015 had not rolled out to preview for developers users). It obviously wipes the phone, but it's worth it. Note that I am not able to update from Windows Phone build 14203 (from official firmware) to 14219 (latest build from PfD), but I'm not complaining since I got the new firmware!
