The HTC Windows Phone 8X is receiving its first over-the-air software update for Windows Phone 8, which upgrades the software version from 9905 to 10211. The update resolves the random reboot issue and brings a tweak to Wi-Fi connectivity along with other new features and improvements. The HTC 8X looks to be the first to receive this update, which is probably one of the advantages of being a signature Windows Phone device.The Wi-Fi connectivity tweak allows users to have the Wi-Fi connection turned on constantly. Previous versions of Windows Phone would turn off the Wi-Fi connection in an attempt to prolong battery life. The issue with that was that you could loose notifications from apps like WhatsApp unless you have your data connection running while the screen remained locked. We hope this feature will make its way to Windows Phone 7.8 devices as well.
The update also brings several text messaging features, including the option to reject a call with a text. You also get several presets and two slots for your own custom text responses. The update also allows the text messaging app to save draft texts and quickly select all messages for quick and easy deleting.
At this point there is no news on when the update will reach other Windows Phone 8 devices, but we will keep you informed as soon as we find out.
