Anyone else have an issue where "Check for Updates" is 100% non-functional? Since I first got the phone, checking for updates always results in the window vanishing and nothing happening. My girlfriend's Thunderbolt always pops up a window saying no updates available. Today when the OTA finally rolled out, her phone picked it right up when I checked for updates. My phone still sits there like it's staring at a wall confused. I've done probably ten factory resets since I got the phone and it maintained the same behaviour each time. Is this a hardware issue or am I not clearing something that the factory reset does not get? Not really a dealbreaker as I can update through HBOOT, but annoying to say the least.

You are probably in a non-4G area and the problem is due to eHRPD. Revert to revision A and then try to update and see if it is any better.
eHRPD has issues... (though Verizon keeps claiming they've fixed it).
I have the same problem and it happens on 4g too. If I press the check for updates button enough it will tell me network isn't available when it is

Sorry to hear that bro, are you rooted? I did glance at you op again and we were having different results. You said your update search window would disappear, but mine would say network not available. I also apologize for misleading you. I'm not sure if this would be a hardware problem, probably more of a software one. But if you really want to I would just root and get the update from jcase's thread or if that isn't the route you want to take maybe Verizon can help. I know, I know, they normally don't but you never know.

I may just go ahead and root. That way my inability to update would be a "feature" and no longer a bug.

Root is definitely the way to go as long as you've done your homework. If you haven't taken this step before make sure you read through everything and understand what you are doing before proceeding. If you have any problems or questions feel free to pm me.
I am having the same exact issue. I even tried manually updating the update.zip file and I keep getting an operation error and phone just reboots. Any ideas why this is happening?

By doing this, will it wipe my phone or will everything still be intact (like the true ota update)? I still havent received the update and everytime i hit the check new on my phone, the box comes up saying Checking for new Software available now but then quickly just disappears. It seems like it it not fully connecting to servers to check for an update. It has been doing this since day 1 and im getting the feeling I will never receive this update over the air.

So, I was just sending an email through my phone and I see "T-mobile. America's First Nationwide 4G Network" Good for you t-mobile.
Anyways, Its permanent!! I've went to account settings and deleted it and press done. Press signature again and its there. Then I uncheck 'include signature'. Done. Go back to signature option and its rechecked. So I unchecked again, done. Tried composing an email and its still there..................

I just noticed the same issue. I thought it was because my G2x was just powering down randomly and not storing the signature for some reason. But I did the change, done, then right back into the edit and it was t-mobile....
I can't wait to have some time to root this and get the latest from Cyanogen.
Yea. Tmobile had their hand in the cookie jar again.
Here is how you fix it (I'll post it again here)
This requires root.
Go into [Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Email] and clear the cache.
Download the attached Email.apk and put it on your SD card.
Using Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app
Rename the existing "Email.apk" to "Email.apk.bak"
Copy the attached Email.apk to /system/app and run it.
Launch your new Email app and set back up. Enjoy your new signature.
I had the same problem. Thanks for the app, problem solved.

gonna try that see whats up thanks.
Been waiting months for a fix. KB3 modem is the best in regards to minimizing the problem. Also, cyanogen nightly (7.1) has the option to map the short and long press of the search to "nothing".
There is also a paid app, i think it's called "search nothingness" or something along those lines that can remap the search to nothing.
personally with KB3, i rarely get the issue, usually only during GPS navigation. At home and at work, i have wifi, so 90% of the time, it's a non-issue.

Yea what a joke. I updated the radio to "fix" my search button issue. Oh it fixes it but also brings capped data speeds and no modifying the ro.ril aka build.prop doesn't help. So sacrifice speed for annoyance depletion or keep the raw dog and risk throwing you're phone out the window at 70 on the interstate!!!! Lol it fixes it. No we just have to fix the data caps again.

Hey guys I didn't want to start another thread so I'm continuing this post.
I'm still noticing the search button bug (Firing randomly) in low reception areas.
Currently I'm running the ICS OTA 4.0.3 with UCKF1 radio on the i9020a.
Is anyone else still seeing this bug from time to time? Did anyone find a way to fix completely? If so please share you solution, if not share your stories. Thanks guys.
I have the i9020a and mine had the annoying bug as well except it was the home button firing with recent apps coming up all the time. I have updated to 4.0.3 from the t-mobile version and flashed the ucke1 radio and have not hae the problem since. In fact I have not run into any problems yet.

What is this?
I have reworked phydo's original source for the cheesecake app we have been using and made it quite a bit faster to use than before. I have also cleaned up and commented the code a bit for those of you who want to take a look at the source.
How to use
It is very important that everyone on here is checking cheesecake as much as possible. Hopefully multiple times per day.
To use this first flash the attached zip with our bootstrap CWM recovery, then install the app. Click the button to go to the next server and check for an update. if you get a wifi error, that server is down. Most will be. select "skip setup for now" and go back to the app and click the button to go to the next. Continue to due this until you get through all the servers.
What to do if you find an update
DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!!
Instead download it right away so you don't miss it, then copy it out of /cache with a root explorer app or use adb to pull it. Upload it somewhere and post it in a thread or PM me and I'll get it to the right people.
What's next and other Ideas
This app is not done. I would like to make it even more automated if I can figure out how. If you have any ideas on how to make it continue after failing or getting an update please share.
I also think we need to get more organized with our Cheesecake checking. Maybe organize time for everyone to check so we can cover the whole day. Let me know if you think it would be a good idea to create a google calendar where everyone can put the time they will check, so we can all check at different times. Any other ideas are of course welcome as well.
Source
Please PM me if you would like the source code. I have no problem giving it to people, but since it is not entirely mine, I want to know who I have given it to.

I've been getting wifi errors on every single server since I went to scv6, so I don't know, but as long as it is "almost" every server that tells me that it is changing it correctly so I guess it is working. If it was every server I would suspect that it was not changing properly.

Just tried it... every server is ostensibly up and running and up to date- even servers that are down with normal cheesecake.
Could you add a check for update button that doesn't change servers in the case of "Check for update unavailable.." messages so we can recheck the same server?

I am not certain, but from the out of the box get go I was not able to bring any local apps up.
Not even settings, which was just asinine considering I am unfamiliar with touchwiz, and with ICS coming from GB... so I needed to find the settings and did not want to page through the apps.
None of that works, you can only search google on the internet, nothing else.
Same here, but I was wondering if it's a limitation of TouchWiz this is a crazy heavy skin. I'm coming from iPhone so I'm happily lost, I could have missed the setting.
Maybe someone can help me out, I'm running no sympathy VRALG1 however I pulled the googlequicksearchbox.apk(1.4.1.338691) from the nosymapthy VRALF2 , I can install it and my local search works great, until I reboot and then it doesn't work and the installed version of googlequicksearchbox.apk is back to version 1.4.1.396604. How do I stop it from upgrading or changing?
