Lumia Icon users, please let us know if this update fixes the screen wake/power button delay issue and the overheating/battery drain issue.

Weird! my battery was 85% or something like this while the phone was downloading the update, then the system told me that "update will take 10-15 minutes", click on update and now I have the charging logo on screen...

Updating now. Although I did not have problems with battery drain, I will check out if some things are more stable now (Action center sometimes lags if I am in an app and pull it open)

Can confirm this has fixed the Internet Explorer, Advanced Settings issue 3 HTC 8X's were experiencing. Will report back if more fixes found.

EDIT: Reading view fixed also!

You may be kidding, but that's going to be a real response made by actual trolls. Maybe I should go get some popcorn, this is going to be a long day.

Soft reset and now I have a blue screen with a super small text:

(0% complete)

If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error:
PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

EDIT: Soft-rest again and now I have the gears on screen...

Googled the error and it is a Windows 7/8 BSOD error... lol

If you are not going to care about it then you are not alone (this could be a nice occasion to eat popcorn anyway so do not restrain yourself).

I was thinking I could start a new joke after the "Seems faster" one ...

"Seems Final"
