WP 8.1 Update 1 for HTC 8X?

[Havard995]

I don't see an option for posting a picture here within the app. I've had Cortana on my 8X since literally the day it was announced. Would you like me to email you a pic? Or can I post one here via the browser? Is it really necessary?

Lol. Let me know what you think. Today is really busy, I'm making my first attempt at replacing the front brakes on my minivan.... I may be drunk by this evening, but I'll try to take the straightest picture of Cortana on my 8X as possible. If you really need one.
I'm not pontificating here, sorry if it comes across that way. That sucks that you haven't had Cortana yet! She's awesome!

You can only have Cortana if your language is set to English (US), if you bought your 8x outside of America you don't have that option.

Not just me, but everyone in the UK with a 8X have not been able to due to the inability to switch to US region. Where in the world are you as I thought it was global but maybe confined to UK users.

I'm in western Canada, and on the Bell network. I didn't even know it was an issue, it worked the same on both my HTC and Samsung.

Weird.

3,5 months? 1,5, at max.

Isn't it since the 14 of April?

 

[Havard995]

In an article at neowin (which I can't link due to low post count) it was stated that some devices wouldn't get all the preview updates due to "an identified problem that requires mobile operator or OEM driver updates"
Look likes we will have to wait for the official release

I just checked for updates on my 8X and it came back with an update. However, I don't believe it's 8.1 update 1 as it didn't take very long to download. Hopefully it's a push in the right direction.

Updated this morning. Looks like Asia Pacific htc owners miss out on Cortana still.:unhappy:
Vodafone Australia.

Looks like it was finally the .899 update

 

[Bob Henry]

Boooooo.

Hopefully OEM drivers come soon.

I wouldn't expect anything quick with HTC, they haven't even updated their HTC app which won't update the clock tile correctly. That was in April, I think. They tried to blame Microsoft then as well.

My 8X, got only the 899 update. It seems to be a little more responsive.

Btw, ant of you got Here drive+? It seems laggy for 2-3 weeks

I don't expect HTC to update the drivers. Just waiting on November so I can switch to Nokia/Microsoft.

matty032, yes the software support for Lumia is way better than HTC's. But not always provide the right value for the money.
We really need more players into WP world.

It's disappointing to me, since I thought the whole controlled software from Microsoft was supposed to eliminate Android type problems like this. I don't really care, since update 1 isn't really a monumental update, but still. Disappointing.

HTC...please release whatever it takes to get 8X the Win 8.1 GDR1 update

 

[Stuart84]

Hi, r u using the preview for developers or is this just a general update? What network are you using?

 

[Clement Ovunwo]

Yea, got the update 1 yesterday

 

[Ktysai]

For real or it just 12400.899. Please confirm!

Forget about version numbers! Can you add folders on your start screen or not? If yes, you have the Update 1. But probably you don't have it 'cause Microsoft didn't start rolling out the Update 1...
