I recently purchased a brand new Inspire 4G and unlocked it for T-Mobile. I went through the set up and checked if there was any new software available. It informed me that 1.84.502.11 was availible for download. After the software downloaded and the phone reboot, everythings seemed fine, but when i opend the Sense UI and tried to update the weather I get this error message: "The connection dropped while your weather information was downloading. Try downloading again?"
When I connect for Wifi everything works fine, its only on mobile network when i get this message. Is there a fix for this
I bet you need to redo your APN again for Tmo. The ROM update will force all settings back to ATT.

I have my APN settings in. Everything works fine other than that. I'm able to get on the internet on everything else.

I'm trying this from memory since I haven't used sense in a while. As I recall, there is a configuration menu where you can set how often weather, stocks, etc. gets updated. In that dialog you have the ability to choose the APN used for the connection. Look at that, it may be wrong.
Sorry for the late response.

Thanks for replying at all, sir.
I've looked in Accounts & Sync menu and seen no such thing that allows me to choose an APN used for connection. :/
I hope someone on here can help me as I'm trying to fix my dad's Tab and he is on holiday at the moment!
The Tab no longer connects to WiFi. He is travelling around and it will say it has connected to a hotspot but nothing is happening when trying to use the network.
As an example my mum is using an iPad at the same place which when it conencts to the network immediately asks for the user/password. The tab connects but doesn't request anything further. I have tried getting him to remove the conenction and rescan but no luck.
I need to try and get it fixed as I told him Android was better tha Apple. Help!!!
Just got my OPO today. Installed my apps back and when I try to launch ESPN Fantasy Football I get error message saying it can not connect and to sure that a string internet connection is available. It is. I try on my S5 on same network and it connects just fine. anyone have any ideas of what could be chasing this?
Guys, everything was fine. I just got this phone today via cricket and as I always do I first connect to our WiFi network than to the play store. Everything was going fine and update was going good than all of a sudden I get error. After digging google I come to realize play store wont connect when on WiFi but work without any problem when on LTE mobile network. Can someone please tell me what is going on here. I never had any issue like this before. Everyone else's play store is working fine on our network so it has to be just with my case. I tried to clear data/cache, reinstall play store, delete google account than relog...I am lost now. I don't know what to do and what is happening. Any help would be much appreciated guys!

Folks,
I have been having some very annoying issues with my LG V50 and was wondering if anyone else has.
I have been having issues getting Hot Spot to work. It has only worked for a very brief time since I got the phone. It is working now though. I get an error about Tethering Functionality not working right now and to try again later.
I called Verizon and 1st level was unable to diagnose it and they opened a ticket. This was 4 days ago and Verizon has not contacted me.
I also had another issue which I've now discovered is related to my Hot Spot issue. So, I use an app called TuneIn Radio Pro. That app keeps thinking that I don't have network connectivity. (On cellular....on wifi it works). I've since discovered that when my Hot Spot works, that app works. When hot spot doesn't work that app also doesn't. I run speedtests and it connects. I seemingly have internet connectivity but interestingly I also cannot access tunein's web page from Chrome. But I can get to other sites. Seemed like a DNS issue but since it is working now, (and I have time) I can't test it.
Again, right now, Hot Spot is working. It has only worked for the last 4 hours and part of one other day since I got the phone 6 days ago.
Another issue (which I am hoping is a setting)....Voice input does not work when connected to bluetooth. So "OK Google" or voice input (Google) via the keyboard does not work.
Any thoughts?
I just tried setting up a hotspot and it seems there are quite a few more options than I had on my V30. I did get it to work once I chose to "unhide my phone" under the setup options. There's also a timeout due to inactivity, share wifi instead of mobile data, and the ability to block connections. I guess it's possible one of these could be giving you an problem. I would think if you have the share wifi selected but you're not connected to wifi that might create a problem...just guessing
I don't use Tune-in so can't really help with that specifically but I've had no issues streaming with other apps.
As for voice commands, I can't bring myself to talk to my devices and I have as much of it turned off as possible.

So this issue has still been going on. My hotspot will work for a day or two and then it goes back to this error condition. But now I have been going on 4+ straight days where it hasn't been working. So, I have stumbled across a situation where I can get hotspot to work.
I have OpenVPN app on my phone. If I open a VPN session (I have 2 connections to my home routers), I can then get the hotspot to start. Interestingly, hotspot traffic is not going over the VPN. I can even turn off the VPN and the hotspot stays on. But I cannot restart it unless I turn on the VPN.
This issue isn't being caused by any software on my phone. As when I first got the phone and this issue came up, I performed a factory reset and when the phone started up for the 1st time, I immediately tried the hotspot and I got the error.
I also called Verizon today to find out what was going on with my ticket from 2 weeks ago. It was escalated and then closed by the network team with no explanation. Sigh....So they re-opened it. The tech on the phone also called LG while working with me and LG told her that they've seen this issue, but no additional info.
Has anyone with a Verizon V50 been able to consistently use the Hotspot without issues? I am having so many problems with this phone that I am ready to throw it out the window. In addition to the issues I stated earlier, I also found this morning that I was not able to get to eBay (In addition to TuneIn.com). I had to switch to wi-fi and then eBay loaded just fine. Since then, eBay seems to work. IMO, this is a network problem
Over the last 2 weeks, my Hotspot worked from Friday to mid day Sunday. (maybe coincidence) And therefore tunein.com worked. Other than that, I get the error.
Verizon had been completely worthless. They closed my first trouble ticket. My second ticket has been open for 3 weeks without progress. I called today and they put me on with Level 2. I had to run to a meeting after a while, the Level 2 person said no problem tell me when to call you back. I told him 2 hours and he said no problem.....and no call.
I am just curious if others are using Hotspot successfully.
Thanks,
Update to my previous post....I haven't been able to launch the hotspot functionality since yesterday morning. I get the message of "An error occured when activating this functionality. Please try again later."
I may try a factory reset to see if that changes anything...
Decided to factory reset. That didn't change anything. Without installing anything after it was done I tried to create a hotspot and got the same error message.

THANKS!!! Exactly the message I've been getting.
Verizon has not been helpful until now. They've pretty much ignored me and closed my tickets.
Hopefully I get further along. I got a better tech support person this time. He escalated it to the network engineering team. This is a network problem as if I start a VPN session (using OpenVPN Connect), I am able to launch the hotspot.
The hotspot is a symptom, not the cause. I am just curious if you have the same exact problem as me, when you are not able to launch the hotspot, bring up a browser and try to go to tunein.com (through Verizon's network, not over wi-fi). Mine won't work. When the hotspot is working, I am able to get to tunein.com
Yep, exactly the same issue. The tunein link and the Connect Garmin app give me the same error. After I sign in to Garmin on wifi it will work as normal but definitely indicates some type of network issue.

I just got an update pushed. System Update 2 V450VM10f.
After the update, the Hotspot seems to work. I am also able to navigate to those URLs where I couldn't get to previously.

Thanks for the heads up. I did notice the same update this morning and so far so good.

While I am now able to launch the Hotspot, that feature is not very reliable. It stays up and "running" but my laptop will stop working after some period. Usually I get about 5-20 minutes of usage. If I disconnect my laptop and re-connect, it starts to work. (But a pain as I VPN in to work and I have to start that all over)
This phone has been a an exercise in frustration.
