[Q]Buying Htc 8s - Windows Phone 8s by HTC

Hello,
I want to buy this phone i really love the design of 8s but im concerned for few things :
Ram memory only 512 mb.
Windows 8 or maybe 8.1 is it fully upgradable ?
Low number of apps and games available.
Unable to jailbreak or is able ?
That's my concerns every recommendations and tips are welcomed.
Thanks.

Hi
Ram memory only 512 mb. - This isn't really an issue and the majority of apps and games are supported.
Windows 8 or maybe 8.1 is it fully upgradable ? - You can update to the latest 8.1 update 1 only with the preview for developers app (currently)
Low number of apps and games available. - This is a general Windows phone issue, I have not found it to be a massive issue.
Unable to jailbreak or is able ? - No Windows phones cannot be 'jailbreaked' or rooted.
I own this phone, but would not personally recommend it.
You may be buying it for the design but I think you may be disappointed by its performance.
The phone is now 2 years old and there are better performing Windows phones available.

I bought this phone and updated to developer preview 8.1 0.14203.306, works well.

Is there any app for enabling led blinking for missed call and messages.

Close but no cigar, thanks anyway! I will keep on searching, I am surprised samsung haven't done one for android, as they make android phones although they have released on one on ipod/iphone!

Samsung must have declared something in the manifest that makes the market think HOX is incompatible. Might be the resolution, or something else. The solution - never buy anything other that a vacuum cleaner from Samsung

Same here, although it doesn't do everything Samsung Remote does. The app also stopped working a while ago on iOS 5.1, so apparently they don't give it much thought.
Its 2.2.5.

Bank of America for Tablets

Would any one be so kind as to post a copy of the the " Bank of America for Tablets" apk? It won't allow me to download it from the market.
Something just feels scary asking for a Banking app on a public forum. Its extremely easy to tamper with it and give you a malicious version... I'd watch out with requests like this. :angel:

I understand the risks and appreciative your concern. I am not planning to log in. Just trying to test the UI with Nexus 7. I do check to see who it is coming from (reputation). Thank you though.
The app launches, but when I login it just hangs at a black screen
I've been looking for that app as well :-/

Can someone post current version. Also to address safety concerns if you have safe pass enabled for every log in no one can sign in without a code being sent by text to your phone... So kosher...
Are there 2 separate versions? I have the BOA app on my N7 it works great. Is there another version besides the one I got on play store?

Yeah there's the bofa app for phone and one for tablet. Tablet let's you use myportfolio and has some enhanced features. The app available in the market for the n7 is the phone app.

I found this link
https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/android-tablet-banking-app.go
Where you're supposed to be able to email it to yourself but ive done it twice and it wont work. Why does the Play Store link say our devices aren't compatible when we're using tablets? Lol
Edit: T_T got the email, it literally just links direct to the play store again. What a waste of potential.
I'm also looking for the current APK. The older one linked here installs fine but unfortunately BoA has updated their app so as soon as you try and open it the app sends you to the market for an update and since the N7 isn't compatible, won't let you download.
Last updated Dec. 12 BofA apk

That's not the tablet app

This kinda sucks, just picked up the new model nexus 7. This is my first tablet, and I was kinda excited to see the difference between tablet apps and phone apps. Both American Express and Bank of America won't let me download their tablet versions. American Express won't even allow the regular mobile version either!

Got it installed, works well.
Mapped touch inputs into sixaxis - well happy. And it's free!
installed it and run without problems
I've noticed some GFX issues with black squares instead of smoke coming from the enemy ships. Anyone else noticed this?
Also, as the market blurb states only part of this game is free. To unlock the whole game is an IAP of £6.50
Still, pwns don't it!! ;P

Above and also android pro widgets is really good for faceache, twitter, calendar, and lots more all in one app.

I don't use the official Facebook either, takes up way to much space and the amount of permissions it requires are crazy! So third-party applications seem to be best for the space issue. However it all depends on your personal taste. FBtouch is a personal favourite of my mine, however I think it's being pulled already.... Can't seem to track it down again.

'Scope' is a new app for facebook, twitter and few other social networks. Seems to be a nice app.
developer says it's still in beta. So there maybe some bugs. I didn't try it out myself.
Here is the play store link.

I think you should try Ebuddy its an app from play store enjoy
