Software Update Check Fails - T-Mobile LG G2x

Going to settings > about phone > software update > software update check results in an error every time - failed connection. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

I'm getthing this as well, the other day I was getting an authentication error instead. I've been checking a few times a day just for giggles to see if there's any updates. Perhaps this "connection failed" is an indicator something is about to happen?

I've gotten both of those errors ever since the phone was released. I wouldn't read into it too much.

It looks like according to LG website you need to download the phone software and connect your phone to a PC\MAC and check\install software updates that way.

I get the same thing.
Does it have anything to do with being rooted?

Everyone gets this error. It simply means that no update is available.

I just tried a fix i saw posted in another thread and it seemed to work but then it asked me to update the app. After I did it broke again and if I try to ignore the update the app simply closes.

I installed the myverizon.apk file in this link and the app comes up but then I get a "Update" or "Cancel" prompt. Update takes you to the market and installs the app which will then cause the error again, and cancel simply closes the app.
PS. I could've sworn this said that it worked for 300 error, but now that I read it again, it says 305. I thought I saw something that said to try installing the VzwSigSSOEngine.apk, so maybe that was how I ended up getting there...
Either way, link is below. Let us know if you figure something out...

Installing only the VZWsigSSOEngine.apk will prevent only one of the errors, but may still cause the other error. You need to install 4 files (within /system/app/), which I've included below. Then grab My Verizon from the android market. I tested this on 4 different roms on Froyo. Haven't tried it on Gingerbread. Seems to work, even on debloated rom too.

It doesn't solve both errors, just one. You need other files and not just one.

software update problem

If you haven't went to 2.3.4, then I wouldn't recommend it. It breaks Googly sync for gmail, voice and gtalk.

No it does not, mine works fine.
PS search out the post in general about this, you could have left your phone rooted, however if you made ANY change to the OS it won't take the update. I have instructions for how to make a backup and get your phone updated and back to the way it was.
That said yes 2.3.4 is buggy.
Can u show me the instructions plz
Sent from my R800x using XDA
2.3.4 is a total mess. You lose all your google related data connections and for me, trying it 3 times, I lose 3G data. So in a total..... DO NOT ota to 2.3.4, I have gone back to 2.3.3 and do not plan on updating unless its fixed... which I do not believe VZ will even mess with it, they will probably use this issue as a means of getting you to upgrade your phone....VZ sucks sweaty monkey nuts.

Software update?

Lo and beware, I got a notice about an update this morning before 6.10. I'm up to date on GB, so what's up? Naturally the connection to the server always fails when I do the check. . . .
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
UPDATE: checked the LG support tool at 10.40 which says no update needed. Nevertheless, I still get the exclamation point in the status bar and "you can check a new software" although (as happened with GB) it is impossible to connect to the LG server with the phone.

Same here. Rooted stock 2.3.4.
My phone has been saying connection failed since just before the last update. I had to use the LG Tool last time. But as for now, I haven't gotten any notices, and the LG Tool says i'm up to date. Who knows, maybe by the end of the day, there will be something........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Got up this morning, there was a notification of new update available, installed it! Hola! Official Jelly bean with butter!
Then I really woke up to know it was a dream!
This makes me want to flash a stock rooted Rom just to see the message despite what you guys have said about not being able to download it
The update is that there's no update.

Basically means there is a server problem, usually from too much traffic. Try again in a bit.

Did you have the Project Cheesecake app installed at any time? You may have the Moto server set to one that's not the 'default' server. Or, as alteredlikeness stated, too much traffic. Keep trying if it's not Cheesecake related...

Guys, these updates go out in cycles.
Not everyone will be able to get the ota at the same time.
They release the updates to Imei numbers in a certain order, otherwise they might crash their update servers with EVERYONE hitting them at the same time.
So just keep this in mind, and you should see these updates move through everyone over the next few days.
I'm Still getting the same message Should I consider a fxz from stock rooted 2.3.6 to 2.3.6? Suggestions?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
My dad has an atrix 2 and the same thing happened. I just restarted his phone, then checked for update without wifi, then connected to wifi to download it and install it.
The update is rolled out over time to lessen server load. You can do a forced log in to the Motorola update servers by dialing #ELIOT# on your phone. After dialing #ELIOT# reboot your device and go into settings and check for update again. There are some unknown reasons that can make your phone invisible to the update servers. If this is the case a Factory Data Reset will allow your phone to be visible to the update servers again. Good luck.

[Q] Is anyone else getting a 44 mb update?

I got a notification for a update and i'm already on ics 4.0.4

AT&T's description
Summary Description:
* Effective October 25, 2012, a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket will be available to AT&T customers via Wi-Fi only for those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (OS 4.04), which is still available via Sideload.
Software Update Includes:
* Google applications such as Gmail, Maps, Play Books, etc., may be updated to the newer versions.
* Fixes a problem that impairs users from being able to download the following pre-loaded AT&T applications: Kindle, AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T FamilyMap, AT&T Locker, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi, U-verse Live TV, myAT&T, and Messages.
o Currently when customers launch one of these applications they are connected to the Google Play storefront, but they are not given the option to download the application.
Software Download/Update Instructions:
Network Initiated Software Update
Upon receipt of the Software Update notification, the customer should select Continue and follow the simple steps to download and install the new software. Customers will also have the option to postpone the update for 1, 4, or 8 hours. Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will receive this FOTA message.
1. Tap "Continue"
2. After the software is downloaded, Tap "Install now"
3. After the software is installed, the phone will re-start automatically
4. The phone is now upgraded to Baseband version I727UCLI3.
Device Initiated Software Update
Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to pull this software update from the phone.
1. Tap "Settings" icon
2. Tap "About Device"
3. Tap "Software Update"
4. Tap "Check for Updates"
* A message will display. "Software update process will not delete any personal data on your phone. Check the AT&T server for new software update?"
5. Tap OK
* A message will display. "A new software update from AT&T is available for your phone. This update will occur over Wi-Fi. Please make sure to stay within the Wi-Fi coverage area while the download takes place. This could take several minutes."
6. Tap Continue
* The device will automatically restart once the new software has successfully downloaded.
* Status Message: "The software has been successfully installed. Your phone is now ready for use."
7. Tap OK
The device must have an active SIM card installed to accept the update. Ensuring the device battery is charged to at least 50% is recommended for a successful software installation. The software update is available over Wi-Fi only.
Software Version Verification:
1. Tap Applications icon from Home Screen
2. Tap Settings icon
3. Tap About phone. If the Baseband version reads I727UCLI3 the device has the software update.

If the same rules apply for a successfuly OTA update, (1) you must be on ICS stock ROM, and (2) stock recovery; (3) no apps frozen or debloated to get the update
