Unable to Update

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.

I'm having the same issue. Well explained btw.

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?

if you are manually doing it the file needs to be in the root of your sd card and named PG05IMG.zip

Will my device be wiped if I use that instead it update.zip?

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.

Media hub error

I redeemed the $25 code and bought two movies but when I click download it will just hang and then says download error retrying.... anyone have the same issue?

Probably have to do like on the Cappy, need astro file manager go to settings and check the box next to allow download from web browser or something like that...
Sent from my Infuse 4G using XDA Premium

I had the same thing happen to me and i just hit the pause button and then resumed it and kept doing that until i saw it actually start the download.

use the help
I selected help in the app and it said due to some restrictions, some of the movies are not available all the time, (they said it smoother than that), I tried again the next day and they downloaded.
so just wait and try again and it will work.

The document is official, viewable at the link above. When I first got the heads up, the link still loaded up the ED2 update.

This is very good news. I was going to return my Droid Charge this weekend because of a lack of 4g and my 3g crapping out every so often. Hopefully this software update alleviates the issues. *crosses fingers*
*EDIT* Only time I've ever received a 4g signal in Miami was on the Dolphin Expressway and parts of Doral. I live in a 4G LTE area according to the map and have received no signal. Even up in Pembroke Pines, nothing...waiting on the update now. Thanks for the heads up.

So tonight? For sure

I just got a OTA Update message asking me if I want to install.

search button fires up

hey guys, I know this is a known issue, but I can't take it anymore, I literally can't use 3g, because the voice button activates itself all the time, I'm using it, I don't know if I should send it, to warranty, because this is clearly a bug... I need some advice please.
BTW my nexus s is rooted, I've tried also all the roms available and still got the same issue. help

Have you flashed a different radio? It is a known issue with the 9020A.

- adb push iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread

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.

I hope this also fixes my issue with Home and Back buttons getting stuck in "long press."

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.

Its not a huge problem for me. I get great reception almost everywhere I go except for some basements and at work.
I can't take calls while at work so its not a problem.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I had the bug, installed 2.3.6 and it's gone. No more random firing of the search button. My only new bug is that my gmail application Outbox count won't work properly. Even when it's empty it shows a number.
If I reset the application and clear it's data it starts up again with the issue.

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.

If you get the search bug with 2.3.6, send your phone in to get the screen replaced. Also keep in mind that the current ota of ics is NOT for the i9020a

Forcecloses on everything???

Has anyone had any issues with their XOOM force closing on everything?? Just got a new one and there were 3 updates. Did those and now even if I try to reply to a pm or open a thread on this app I get a force close. I am never rooted and like I said brand new. Is it software or just the XOOM?? I am on software 3.2.1 also.
EDIT: So I have done 2 hard resets, tried with me not logged in on any other computer/phone app and still doing it. But when I am not logged in it lets me view threads. I am also getting an FC when trying the game IceBreaker hockey as soon as I click on it.

Bump up. I just exchanged it for another. It had 4 updates. I tried logging in and viewing a thread before each update it they all forceclose. The last update let ne view one pm before it Forcecloses.
