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

Keep trying, I was getting the same message and decided to continue try to search for updates, and now have the update. Well, it is downloading anyway.

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.

Facebook App Version??

I cant make sense to this.. me and my girlfriend both have the same device M8 - rooted & S-OFF same firmware and radios and ROM but for some reason.. her facebook app version is 8.0.0.26.24 and its from the market and mine is version 7.0.0.26.24 directly from the market...can someone explain why this is?

Some folks are getting an option to update the app directly through Facebook and not the app store. I would uninstall the 8.0 version as it is not official or known to be legit.

My Facebook keeps randomly updating even tho I have auto update turned off for all apps. But Thai one still updates. And I think that when it does update its an 8.0 version. Whatever version it is the whole ui changes and I hate it. How can I make the version I like stick? Think every time I reboot it updates, and don't think it's they the play store either that it's getting the update? I don't get any notification of it when it does, it's just there when I open Facebook again.

You sure one of you didn't join the beta program?
Also, this should go in Q and A

I've been on beta for about a year now, still notified of updates when they are ready. This gives me no notification of update, just updates on it's own even tho it's not enabled. Frustrating.

What's more strange is that my version stays the same after updating, Even tho it looks totally different 8.0.0.3.24

I never use my FB, only rarely to check a photo or 2 that gets put up of me. Popped on sometime last week to notice an entirely new app layout. No update from Play, no update notification from FB app. Girlfriend, same phone, users FB all day still has old one. Kinda pissed, because the few times i did look at my feed, i wanted it sorted by time, not this 'most popular' BS, and can't find an option in the new app for it.

Scroll to the right of the screen and click the three line (more) button. ON the more screen scroll down to feeds and select: most recent.

I just checked and I'm on the 8.0 version, I think I did sign up for the Beta though.

Beta or not, shouldn't update if auto update isn't selected. This is the only time it's done it. It's extremely annoying cause I HATE the new ui but can't make an older version stick no matter what I do. And just discovered it updates regardless of reboot or not.

Well look at it this way, you will eventually be forced to use it, so just get used to it and they will change it again in 3 months anyways :/

One of you either signed up for the Alpha or Beta version at some point. It will carry from device to device.

I'm on beta, my daughter isn't but hers also keeps updating on her kindle.

8.0.0.3.24 this is the latest version.

I'm not on the beta. Mine auto updated when I got home not realizing my WiFi was on. Deleted and restored the old version with titanium backup. The new app is horrible. I don't care what people posted 2 weeks ago....

Problem
Hey, I was recently forced updated and my g2 is rooted. Ever since then I can't seem to play any games from the google store, not sure what else it's done haven't had time to check . All they do when click on there app is load for a couple of seconds then goes back to the home screen, I dont know if it has anything to do with the update but the were working fine before. Is it possible to uninstall those updates or am I screwed?

Updated last night. Today, using iheartradio, rebooted 3 times today. App worked great on 6.01 on Nexus 6. Cleared cache, reinstalled app. No good. Trying other radio apps. If it is just iheart, I don't care.
Overall, smooth. But one MM feature missing are the feature updates that 6.01 brought to my Nexus. On the Nexus Do Not Disturb became event controlled, but it is missing from my Note.

Installed the update last night with no problems. One thing missing is the ability to pin a contact to the homescreen which I use a lot. Found an app called SpeedDial that does the same thing.

Can anyone confirm Wifi Hotspot tethering works with the update?

Guess I won't be using Marshmallow for a while. Big no go for me: device encryption. Why was this taken out? Hopefully, it doesn't have something to do with that FBI BS...

What settings are you using to get LTE? I'm using Cricket and I've been trying to figure out how to get LTE working since I unlocked the phone a few days ago.

ATT Software Update 4/21 (Breaks Bixby button remap)

Aww crap, I got the phone yesterday and got a software update pushed to my phone just now... (Build NRD90M.G950USQU1AQD9)
Bixby remap via All in one gestures worked right before the update. Now, notsomuch.
Update at your own peril.

Same for t-mobile variants as well.

It makes facial recognition much worse. Sounds like they changed it to make out harder to unlock with a picture but the end result is unlocking it with your face doesn't work as often and takes longer to unlock when it does work.

They also reorganized the full-screen apps settings page, that's all I've noticed. I'm on the +

It also makes battery drain. Fyi gotta activate once with att to get updates.. use provided sim to activate as gophone account(free) then connect to wifi and set date 3 days later and check for update
