Can anybody tell me the battery life of htc 8s. Mine it only takes a day when i do browsing and texting. I fell that something is wrong with my battery. Also i can't send a text message to multiple recipients at same time. Two or more recipients my message will failed. Only one at time. So if i have to send a same message to two or more recipients i have to send it one by one. It is very uncomfortable. I try my sim card on my other phone and its okay! Can anyone tell me how can i fix this?

Bought the 8S htc Windows phone few months ago. it is terrible in terms of total storage capacity, it has only 4GB which is not enough. the operating system with the standard applications takes more then 3 GB and the remaining storage is not sufficient for personal data. I have installed additional SD card but it does not accept application or phone data, it is only for music, vids and photos; so its not helpful to upgrade the system total storage for e-mails, contact and applications.
Now my phone crashes very frequently and does not even accept to dial numbers because of limited storage.
The camera is poor specially with law lighting intensity.

Bought 8S fiesta red a month ago. Its really awesome. Built quality is amazing. Windows phone OS is also quite brilliant. Some drawbacks as well, despite of setting SD card as default memory, files received through Bluetooth gets saved in phone memory. No renaming option for any files. For every editing reason, it prompts to connect to the PC. These are the drawbacks of Windows phone not of HTC. HTC has disappointed by putting a low quality camera, though it says 5MP, its almost like a VGA.

Its a fine phone does everything I want it to, battery life is good, camera is fine and call clarity is amazing. I am really warming to Windows 8 I only use my phone for calls, texts and internet apart from that nothing else I don't do apps don't need them.
I am a previous Blackberry 9900 user I just fancied a change as I felt Blackberry was a little dated in its OS and I did not like the look of the new BB10, definitely not going Android as I don't like that at all. Windows is a simple fluid OS which suits me fine.

I have had this phone for a few months and it is very nice, there are not very many flaws to this phone a few like a 5.0 megapixle camera but if this is your first smart phone then it could be the one for you it is very nice and up to date. If you have already had a smart phone i recomend you dont get this phone cause it just can't contend with phones like the Gs3 and other high value smart phones such as that. However if u still want a windows 8 phone and have already had a smart phone I would go for the lumia 920 or the HTC windows phone 8x. the 8s has a great look and feel to it and runs on a very good hardware the movments on the phone are flush and smooth. So if you are a first timer on getting a smart phone I recomend the Windows phone 8s.

iamarnab, 12 Apr 20138s is a shit phone...have been using it for the last 4 mont... moreWindows phone is one of softest and fluid like OS, extremely flexible and light, just like Symbian and BlackBerry OS. The problem is the HTC firmware and not the OS. Change to another Windows phone brand to confirm.

Help_Seeker, 14 Apr 2013Thank You people for your Open Comments. We always get cau... moreDon't get stuck dude every phone has its flaws...this is my second android phone and still slow now found out android OS is too heavy even with dual cores and don't see some reasons why I get one right now but android has the biggest market. Nokia Windows phone is sleek and extremely soft and like a fluid, no hang, no lag and Nokia has the best firmware, it means the other party listen to the music you play while the call is on, but Nokia apps market is low and still stay behind yet Nokia forever.

Thank You people for your Open Comments.
We always get caught in the one sided advertisement by the companies and make us fool. While their product is not up to the mark.
Hi NOKIA ! Make the things better value for our money else remain in the lower end market and make phones like 3310, 1110, Ha Ha, Smart phones is for HTC and Others

We have been issued these phones for business as apparently Windows8 has the best encryption for mobile. What a shame they forgot about pretty much every other aspect of building a smartphone. Most of the inbuilt software is poor (Phone, Maps, People, Calendar, Music, Messaging)or pointless (Wallet, OneNote). And you can't delete these Apps which means there's no space to install better versions (it doesn't seem possible to install them to SD) even if there were any in the very limited App store. Updating the OS required me to uninstall the few decent Apps I had found. Probably just as well I don't have many apps as there's no way to organise them other than in an alphabetically scrolling list or on a single vertically scrolling homepage.
Few of the live tiles do anything useful, music syncing (with my Windows PC) is chaotic and Bing is the mandatory search engine - it's awful.
Please would Google add encryption to Android!!

iamarnab, 12 Apr 20138s is a shit phone...have been using it for the last 4 mont... moreThanks for your feedback which in my opinion is better than GSMarena's one. It didn't leave me with many uncertainties, and it get's directly to the point. I canceled this phone from my list, seems I am going to stick with Android for now.

8s is a shit phone...have been using it for the last 4 months..heres my take..
Software:
What can I say…windows has a history of making boring, unimaginative and the least user friendly operating systems since the dawn of desktop computing. For its mobile version, again I must say it is one of the prettiest OS on a hand held but also equally the least functional, the size of the OS is a massive 2GB?!!! On a phone that has 4GB (3.81 user space) of onboard space. To top it all it creates 1GB of files that you can’t remove and labels it, in true microsoft style, OTHERS. This leaves barely any space for any apps(I use Facebook, linked in, couple of games, Skype,)lyrics, dropshot apart from the bundled software that it came with)…with a strategy like that, no wonder they have the shittiest app store. Now with the new update out today, you have to reformat your phone to make 435mb of space to install it. I remember the days of android 1.6 where the ROM was a hardware limitation and one could only install softwares on the phone memory. A very frustrating experience that was thankfully rectified by an app by the name APP2SD freeing up precious space on you phone and liberating you from the tyranny of low memory space warnings. Microsoft, exercising better judgement has created its mobile software in the image (and size) of its desktop avatar….lazy buggers…incompetence and laziness, a winning combination when you target a product for the masses…after all that’s what we all are…
Hardware:
Gorilla glass prone to scratches and marks but this let down is nothing to the soft touch plastic finish…beware, this is not a finish as much as it is a coating, which has the following drawbacks:
It stains
It peels off…exposing shiny plastic underneath (blue, in my case)
It is the technological equivalent of Hansen’s Disease (Leprosy)…I hope they find a cure to that soon…
All in all, its the worst smartphone experience ever…it has the technology of the now but designed to perform a decade older…Usually one learns from others mistakes, things evolve and new technology should better if not match the current paradigm. Microsoft has decided that it will make the same journey of evolution that other OS’s did to reach some semblance of usable which, judging by its efforts so far, can be a while.
Currently the OS is still a monkey.
