There are a bunch of threads about this. Search for "update text" and you'll find them. It's the update AT&T pushed a long time ago. Nothing to see here - move along.

I agree, just received another. Found another thread that was started the 9th of November. So it appears we are finally being hit with some of the batch texts sent out. Although it seems strange for us to receive a batch text 15 days after the first reports of this text. Not to mention we are receiving multiple of them. Don't they know they could get through a list of customers quicker if they just sent them the text once to each captivate owner. Oh well, as suggested I am moving on.
Thanks for the info,

Samsung just released an app in the market to restore GPS settings. GPSRestore.
Doesn't do anythiing new but return a few settings to stock. Also Samsung released a new firmware app for the Captivate camera. Camera Firmware Install. I believe either of these two is what AT&T is pinging us to death about.

It had this sentence at the bottom too:
* What are risks for performing the upgrade?
o This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

LOL, FIND ALL "T-Mobile" REPLACE WITH "AT&T" it's that easy.... or one would think....
I checked Kies Mini and nothing. Blah!
Ehh ...
The probability of Samsung/AT&T releasing something better than what you can find here at XDA is extremely low. The devs here at XDA are probably more familiar with the phone than Samsung or AT&T anyway, as they have actually been working with it these past few months.
I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an XDA branded phone by now.

Update
Nope, i've been checking on an hourly basis! hehe .... I don't know if they're rolling it out in different areas at different times or not.. I'm in Virginia so, it's not here yet..
OTA rollouts usually take up to 2 weeks to reach all customers. There is not set way they do it that we have found. Some may get it day 1 some will get it on the last day.
Usually they start off with only a small amout of phones to begin with in case of issues then they roll out more and more..

To add, I think they usually start at night as well. Even though the rumor is May 3rd, they probably won't start the OTA until this evening. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
No update here yet either.
On a side note, Status under software update is blank for me, and when selecting 'check new,' it says 'Checking for new Software available now' then just disappears. I thought it said No update at this time or something like that?
To those already running the leaked RUU, I wonder if the rollout will check to see which firmware you are running and if it sees you are on the latest it will just pass you by and consider you up-to-date and never prompt you to update since it doesn't think you need it
My phone never shows a window in response to a check for updates. My girlfriend has had three Thunderbolts and every one showed a "No updates available" window. I think some phones just don't pop a window in response. I have flashed several different stock RUUs.

A. If you are rooted and have a custom ROM - just wait for the developer to update the ROM including the OTA... this probably has already happened with most ROMs using the leaked software
B. The OTA will be pushed to your phone randomly... no way to manually or force install it unless someone on the forums captures the OTA url address.
C. If you installed the leaked RUU, you will not receive the OTA
(this information should be a sticky)
I think I almost got the update. I can feel it my phone is also acting like it wants the update so this is a promising sign.

So, after checking system updates for awhile and seeing I am at the current version, I just tried again and got
"Connection Failed."
Maybe T-Mobile took down the server for checking software updates to prep for the new version?
I thought it may have been my signal, but I am fully able to browse the web at 4G speeds...

Edit: another idea I had was, maybe the shut down the server for update checks due to a TON of people loading the servers with checking for updates due to the GB update rumor? LOL

I heard that the Skyrocket had an update to 2.3.6 but it got pulled because it was messing up some phones. I was wondering if anyone knows when it will be available again or do we just have to wait for 4.0?
it should be back soon
The stock 2.3.6 rom is available in the development section., and acording to at&t the update was only issued to those who needed it. I have not read anywhere that it was messing up devices. That is most likely just somones speculation.
No...from Samsung tech support on a phone call that I made

I have no issues with google voice on 2.3.5. However, when I got the OTA 2.3.6 my phone would not stay connected to LTE - it kept hopping between 4G HSPA, UTMS and LTE at my house. It would stay connected to LTE about 30 seconds then spend 60 seconds in "Connecting" state. It was completely unusable for IM - popups 'unable to connect to server' etc
Finally took the phone back and they exchanged, have 2.3.5 again and no problems since.
Was there a radio update in 2.3.6? If not, maybe there were some manufacturing problems and they tried to deal with them with hardware. I do know that the first phone I had experienced major connectivity issues (under 2.3.6) that this one does not.

The no SIM problem I wouldn't think would be a software issue considering it doesn't affect all the phones. There are many many people who do not have this issue. I'm actually pretty sure I read something a while ago that said the SIM cards they are making are crappy quality, therefor that could be the culprit. I dunno tho for sure.
I don't know about that. That is something I have been thinking about lately..... I have been having a problem with my phones service, I live in a strong 3g and 4g area, and after I rooted both of my GS3's they started dropping service left and right where before they hadn't. The more I have read about the no sim issue the more it sounds just like my service dropping problem just without the no sim message appearing for me. So I wonder if more of the phone have it than we think and we think the terrible service is because of the radios when in all actuality its the no sim error and it just doesn't pop up the no sim message..... yes I know Samsung radios are crap on Verizon but I have plenty more Samsung phones that have never had any service issue whatsoever, whereas this phone you have to hold you head a certain way with both your arms stretched out and your tongue touching your nose just to send a message.
