You're not alone. Hopefully it can be fixed soon.
Try setting it up to check for automatic update
noticed this yesterday but figured it was a shoddy connection. same issue now with much better though.
Same thing here, haven't been able to download any host files for almost a day now

I got mine to update yesterday evening. I turned on wifi and then just let the Adfree connect to server screen run. I checked it after 10 or 15 minutes and it said it updated.
Finally went thru for me

Probably a server problem on their side. Just spun and did nothing yesterday, downloaded and installed tonight.
I hope this is in the right place if not I apologize. Anyways I was running AOSP v0.9 and this morning I turned off data to conserve battery life. After that my phone will only connect to 1x and it is always roaming. It seems to realize that it is supposed to be on USCC it even says USCC in the status bar. So I called customer service and they told me to do a *228 and from what I hear this is really bad for anyone running ASOP then I did it anyways and it connected me to verizon so I disconnected the call and am still stuck roaming and with no 3g. Then I decided to switch back to MIUI and I'm still having the same problems. Another weird note, if I set my network to automatic it kills my connection but if I put it on home only I am roaming. Any ideas guys.

This is the same issue I posted earlier that I haven't resolved yet. I am getting the verizon thing when I dial *228 as well. It is really frustrating because the phone is virtually unusable for data now. Hopefully we get it figured out. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

OK so after doing some research, it looks like this issue can happen if you disable your data (using a toggle, such as the ones in the notification bars of some roms), and then flash a new rom or kernel or something with the data off. It looks like it wipes the APN? Anyone know if this sounds like what may be the issue or how we might go about fixing it?
Well I just got off an hour long call with tech support they think it is an issue with the radio and want me to do an exchange since I bought it less than thirty days ago. So I don't know maybe I should just cancel this and get a new phone with a new carrier. Maybe something with 4g. But I love this phone so I don't know what I'm going to do. Keep me updated if you find a fix.

Check the Showcase AOSP thread. I managed to find a little trick that fixed our phones suffering from the same issue. Its worth a shot on yours.

Tried your method and nothing. Kind of running out of ideas here. Any radio/modem I should need would be in the ROM right? I have gone as far as to flash all the way back to DI14 and can't get this thing to work. Still can't figure out how it even happened in the first place.
Well I figured it out for me anyways. Call US cellular and they will give you a new phone under warranty. I'm on mine now. It is back to 2.1 and stock but it works!

Just got mine working about 10 minutes ago. Call USCC tech and they said that for some reason I was no longer "provisioned" for 3G service so they fixed it. I know our issues were a little different. Glad we're both up and running again. Now lets see if I can do something else to screw this up . . . . .

Amen to that I spent 4 hours on the phone with them yesterday and they couldn't fix it. So the actually brought me a new phone to my work. I couldn't believe they would do something like that.

Wow now that's service. I have to say US Cellular has hands down the best customer service I have ever had to deal with. Store, tech support, billing. Everything.

Well it only took me about three hours I tried flashing a new kernel with an app I downloaded from the market can't remember the name but of course everything went to hell. Since I don't have a computer it took me 2 days to find one and get it flaked to stock in odin now my speaker doesn't work oh well maybe in another couple of days I can flag it again. Maybe I should just quit screwing worth it but it's just to much fun lol.

I was just on the market and I saw that there is an update for the t Mobile My Account app. Has anybody installed this yet? I'm wondering if this fixes the WiFi issue I had with the 5.6 update freezing DNS which is the reason why I rooted my G2X. I'm also hesitant because I currently have the my account frozen.

I typically try to avoid T-Mobile software like the plague... no convenience is worth having their programming gum up my phone.
I'll remain hopeful though that T-mobile will start getting their act together starting with updating their apps and fixing them proper. Despite my angst against the topic I'm still curious regardless.
My wife's s4g got it last night but not on my g2x
I downloaded it last night. It is still a buggy mess. It takes forever to sync with Tmo and half the features do not work. Billing and Plan still do not sync. It just gives a message to call to get the info after about five minutes of doing nothing.
Activity/data used does work which is nice for those stuck on the 2g plan.
Still a horrible app...Delete.

It is even buggier than before, I might try restoring the old version
Well I'm glad I didn't update
Based upon the results so far I'm glad I left that update alone.
Uninstalled. That thing sucks. How hard is it for a company the size of TMo to build a half decent app?
I had to uninstall updates then reinstall and reboot. After all that mine syncs all fields just fine and I find it to be a great resource to monitor my usage since no matter what 3g watchdog says, T-Mobile will be throtling me for what they see pass-through for data. Its also super easy to pay my bill with.

I didn't even have to do that; I just updated it in the market and it all just works fine for me. (I don't use it very often and didn't immediately open it after the update, so it's probable that I did have a reboot in there somewhere between the update and the first time I used it.)
dunno why u guys are having so much trouble with it. works fine for me even before the update

Anyone that has had reboot problems on their thunderbolts, still experiencing them after updating?
Wife's tbolt starting rebooting a couple times a day about a week ago. Did the update friday night and has rebooted twice since then. Thinking it might be hardware related if others have had their reboots fixed.
Probably going to call verizon next time it does this to try and get a replacement.
I've had only one that I've noticed so far, but that makes it less than the 3-4 daily I noticed with the most recent leak prior (mr2.5 thingee)
No reboots for me since the update. Of course Verzion only claimed this OTA would reduce the number of reboots not do away with them. I hope for you that they don't try to pull then when you ask for a new unit.
Start over from scratch do an app backup...uninstall all apps restart phone try favorite app first give couple hours or a day. slowly put apps back on right down time and date each app installed .doing this is a p.i.t.a .....some apps dont play nicely with others ...plus you dont want a p.o.s.reman phone....anyways this might take a couple of days.....sometimes verizon wont shoot from the hip and just replace .. reason i say this for a while 1st thing they do is hard reset phone and start over ...more or less have to prove problem make sure everytime u call have them note the account....lets see 10 imagios 6 collasped buttons 4 bluetooth failures .....fun fun...nothings easy with verizon
Look at it this way you could be stuck with a really start over flashing firmware with a windows phone cause hard reset sucks [email protected]#$

she has no different apps than me and I don't have reboots. We'll give it a couple of days, start calling in and creating the history. New customer, I'm sure they would hate to lose us already...
jump ship and pay up the @#% to leave your stuck unless under 15 days then your stuck again because where you came from sucked plus to boot anywhere else is gonna what a deposit ....just because your phones not rebooting with same apps ...the phone is man made #$& happens the other phone might have hardware problems ok prove it...do what i said and track

Had a few here, better but still angers me.

same story -- i'm still getting them occasionally but not as often. I was all excited about the update, but a few hours after it installed I was browsing the web and - bam - reboot. It's like a slap in the face. I've also been having a serious problem with my TB just discharging itself overnight... while plugged into the wall charger. I wake up and it has a completely dead battery which is a major PITA, doubly so because I use it as my alarm clock.
My TB has been up since the update on Friday. It used to reboot multiple times a day. Hope this lasts for me.
I'm stock and unrooted.

I have never had a reboot and I have been rooted since a week after owning the TBolt... I guess just lucky
Haven't had a reboot since memorial day weekend.
Never had a reboot before or after the update....I just bought my Tbolt two weeks ago, maybe they corrected the rebooting issues with the current hardware?? I mean if users are still rebooting after the update maybe its not software...
I've been really really lucky here I guess. I bought my Thunderbolt about a week after it came out and have had maybe 3-4 reboots since then. I have gone through a few roms/kernals/radios but never any issues. It must just be a hit/miss thing with hardware to be honest. Either that or the network, I'm in West Lafayette maybe our network is just far superior
The only gripe I have had is shutdowns, which IMO are more annoying because I can't just turn it back on, I have to pull the battery and wait a couple minutes before putting it back in and then waiting another minute before it responds to the power button to turn it back on again.
All in all I am happy with it compared to all others complaints on reboots. I would rather have a small number of reboots/shutdowns than a refurbished phone with possibly more issues.
I've been rebooting still like CRAZY. Before and after the update. I got on Verizon and received my phone on Thursday. It was rebooting over and over and over... I noticed it happened if I left wifi coverage at work or home. Even after the update, same thing! Rebooting over and over like no tomorrow.
I noticed that with LTE on it would loose connectivity all together until I manually rebooted. If I was on Edge or 3G it would stay up longer. I have since then turned off LTE and it has been fine, but still reboots every few hours.

I have had 1 reboot after having mine for over a month or so now. Been rooted since day 1 and have changed radios multiple times along with ROMs/Kernels. I guess we are both lucky?
Never once had a reboot. Custom rom since day one though. Stock sucks.
On a helpful side though. Always best to do a hard reset after a update. I know its a pain but it is the best solution normally.

I received my Nexus about an hour ago and it doesn't seem to be able to finish downloading the update. Because it's not actually into the main launcher yet I have no idea what kind of progress it's making (there's no progress bar, no connectivity listing, and no ability to open the browser).
Anyone else having issues?
I'm connected to my work wifi for devices, but I honestly can't remember if it opens a browser window to accept the terms of use on first connect (we just changed to this type of wifi around last year, with independent logins per user and such. Around that time is when I connected all of my various devices, so I can't remember if there was some type of acceptance page. Then again, they could just be blocking one of the ports in use by this updater...I really can't tell what's happening.
BTW it's a 125.8MB update...which should take around 6-7 seconds to download on the work network, if it's working correctly. It's now been 20 minutes (on and off).

I haven't gone home to pickup my new Nexus 5. but my expectation is that the server is getting hammered right now due to everyone getting their new hardware.
I'd expect launch day to go slow.

Possibly...but the download hasn't even started for ~2 hours or so now. Moving slowly is one thing, but it did everything up until the update fairly quickly, and just refuses to start it.
I'll post if I have issues later tonight. I haven't gotten my hands on my device yet.
Mine sat doing nothing when I first tried the update. After a while I pressed the back key, and then forward again to the update. This time it started downloading.

I've tried that a few times to no avail. Thinking I might just have to wait until I get home.
sorry dude, no problems here...just keep trying, my update took less than 5 mins, yours will work too

Must be a port getting blocked at work, then. Boo.
It's weird...the wifi works wonderfully here, but the occasional update just doesn't work. In the Play Store, it'll update 10 apps great and one it won't (at all).
After i got my device it updated perfectly. I was at home.
Hi, I'm having this issue too. It looks like the download doesn't progress. I already tried to reboot the phone and to connect on 2 different wifi networks (home and neighbour).
Still waiting since an hour...

This was the case for me as well. Initially I tried to DL the update on LTE. I cancelled it, went back, signed on to my WiFi and tried again and it flew through the download with no issues at all.
Problem seems to be just solved. I removed the sim card. Still didn't work. And then I restored it. After the reboot the progress bar was completed in 1 sec. It's now rebooting and updating
I'm pretty sure the sim card has nothing to deal with this issue. Obviously google servers issue.
