Windows Phone 8.1 for HTC 8s would solve all problems
- Thread starter Dr. lele
- Start date
I don't have any problems installing my apps to SD Card. Did you do a clean install to Windows Phone 8.1 as I did because I ran out of room during installation and make sure you go to storage spaces and set your apps to install to sd card.
Finally got it working! No more Error 8007000d!
This is the steps I took to make WP8.1 work on my HTC 8S. (I'm located in Europe)
1. Download the shipped RUU from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2094384
2.Boot into bootloader, connect usb to PC and flash.
4. Get Developer Unlocked, and start searching for updates again. It will be Microsoft Updates this itme - install them all.
Done.
Man, that took all night!
Final Note!
Apparently we can not get Cortana on a HTC 8S phones sold outside the US. Using the region/language trick. The shipped ROMs from HTC does not contain the English (US) phone language. So you can change the Region, Speech, Keyboard etc, but not the Phone Language. And
This is also an issue for HTC 8X. Hopefully Cortana will be released to regions outside US.

I managed to upgrade my 8S last night to 8.1 flawlessly via the Preview for Developers App. Everything works fine. No bugs so far, except Cortana which is not available. Phone language is set at English UK since my phone came from London, even though it is unbranded.
If you press the Search button and search for Cortana, swipe from left to right and you will see that it finds Cortana settings but it says that it is disabled. No luck so far.

One bug bugs me with 8.1... Advanced settings in IE not working.
Hopefully official firmware and patch will solve that.
I was expecting making google degault search provider as bing in my region Croatia pretty sucks.
But its a no go crashes on clicking advanced settings.
But... 8.1 brought this lil crap new life... Even asphalt 8 runs great with its 1.5gb instalation on class10 card.
Battery drasticly rediced but i expected it as now there is one more drive to read all time with aps on it.
Same was with my last android.
Aerize explorer soft u can use to manage ur files and copy paste delete all file actions u need.
Gps aplications like copilot install on sd card and downloadaps as much u want. 2gb in my case.
After all 3weeks already im happy.
Plus there is more that will probably come some official firmware and patch from htc to solve some we can say minor bugs.
And yup we will have VPN gor business use
And nokia drive will vome official free for all on wp 8.1.
Cortana still nothing outside is dont even tty u will just mess ur internal space.
And yeah i hope firmeare will bit improve baterry life.
You all will be very happy.
After all i think this phone needed more then any other around sd card use due to lack of internal memory.

You have two possibility:Hi
I want update my phone to Preview WP 8.1,is this a good idea?
I'm worry about bugs & Error after Preview update...
- Install Windows Phone 8.1 via the Preview for Developers (PFD) program.
- Wait for the official deployment.
I do not give you more information on the PFD, because the official deploy Windows Phone 8.1 (and Lumia Cyan) for Nokia Lumia 1520 should soon began. Also, Microsoft currently stopped for the moment (for a indefinitely period) deploying Windows Phone 8.1 on phones equipped with PFD.
So, I advise you to wait.

I Choose "Waiting"
anyway,HTC support team told me by email:
Official WP 8.1 will be release in August for HTC windows phones

It is regret

3WP8.1 Installed
Installed WP8.1 today on my HTC 8S via the Preview for Developers app.
First impressions are it's very slick and my phone appears to run quicker.
I needed 704.05 free space on my phone to install WP8.1. Therefore I had to uninstall most of my apps and a couple of games.
However when reinstalling them they can now be installed to the SD card!!1
