i have a t-mobile g1 iam a uk user i have just got a new g1 as a replacement handset for a faulty g1 my firmware is 1.0 my old had the ota update so i could get on skreen keyboard etc with in a couple of hours of getting it but my new one has not got any updates as of yet and i have had it nearly 4 days now and i cant get any of the apps i was using or on skreenkeyboard does anyone no how long this takes to get the update or can i get it from sum where the rc number is rc8 as well PLEASE HELP !!!
I don't think there is a specified length of time (at least in the US). I had the same experience where I unrooted my g1 and I got tired of waiting. I eventually updated manually. Patience or Act now choose one
Isn't there a way to check for update's manually somewhere in the settings? I think I saw that in *may be* Settings->About phone. Check that out, that may get you to 1.6 faster.
Does anyone have an ide how to get the phone back to the "orginal" FJ3 Firmware if you not did a backup and been play around with new firmwares? smile.gif
Also how to get rid off that "rooted" sign on the GroVer. about the phone, mean if it get broken it is not good to have that "Rooted" sign all over when hand it in smile.gif
There have been several requests on the forum for JF3 (I assume you mean that since FJ3 doesn't exsist) and so far nobody has the JF3 firmware. However, the most troubling thing to miss in probably the CSC since they likely do not record what firmware your phone originally came with but they will know what carrier-specific apps were installed.
Please use the "search" function next time!
WIth five bar and over 1mbps on download test via 3G, I keep getting
"Unable to communicate with ATT server" for Software Update.
Anyone else getting the same message?
I got the same message. I don't know what to do.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I wasn't able to. I tried everything and finally was able to put my phone back to the stock settings. Nothing worked. Contacted AT&T and they had no idea. Finally to save myself any trouble I just contacted Amazon, who I bought the phone through, and they are sending me a new phone that should arrive tomorrow.
I spoke with business care yesterday and qouted my/same error message. Whether or not she knew what she was talking about.....who knows, but she said since it was a push I didn't need to "check for update" and that it would happen automatically. Sounded like scripted response to that particular error. I am already running leaked JH7 and noticed significant GPS improvement over stock, JH2 and JH3. Curiosity was getting best of me so I have tried twice since update was available. Very happy with phone other than hesitant "back" button since installing leaked JH7 and removing all bloatware no need to update really until Froyo 2.2
Okay so I have done nothing to my phone other than download apps from the market. I have not rooted or sideloaded or lag fixed or whatever.. wouldn't know how. I also have a brand new sim if that matters or not.
I am getting a message a few minutes after I check for updates that says "Connection Failed, Unable to connect to the AT&T servers". Any idea why this is happening? As I said, I have not done anything to the phone other than download stuff from the market.
I have done this the last 2 days and the same thing happend both times. I don't want to change the date on my phone so i waited the 24 hours. Also as a side note.. I have checked for software updates 2 other times prior to this just for giggles. Once about a week or so after I got the phone and I got a message that said no updates and than again a few weeks ago and it did the same thing it did yesterday and today.. the connection failed message.
I would just wait a couple days then try again. There looks to be nothing you can do on your side. Since the update is rolling out in stages, I bet those who can't connect aren't "allowed" to update yet.
Yesterday the update completely bricked my phone. I exchanged the phone last night and again today as both I got had alot of issues (GPS Test finds 0 satallites regardless of where I am - my first phone that bricked worked great, Can't even connect to Android Market on my new phone...).
Since last night I couldn't connect either. I just spoke with AT&T, they told me to exchange my phone against and offered to give me an $85 credit to my account for the inconvenience.
If my next phone doesn't work like my first, I might be done with the Captivate... And i love this phone.
I have the same message when I try to check for the update. When did you all buy your Captivate? I bought mine on September 3rd. I wonder if they roll the update out to the folks that bough the phone earlier this year and block the newer users.
I bought my captivate the day it came out.
I got mine 3 days before it came out and I cannot connect
I think it might be to excessive server load on the part of AT&T. It might just throw out your request if there are too many people downloading
My phone has NEVER been able to connect. Bought it launch day and while playing with it I tried to see what that function did. It didn't connect but I figured everything was fine and it would work when it needed to...until this update came out and it still wouldn't connect.
Went to the AT&T store - their solution was to replace my SIM card because that MUST be the problem. No dice. They threw up their hands and handed me the phone number to get a warranty exchange.
It was pretty funny watching them try to navigate the menus. I can't believe they sell the product and don't know a thing about it.
Much like the poster above me, when I got mine (mid-August), I attempted to update just to make sure I would have the latest software at that time. It failed to connect and when I tried 24hrs later, still couldn't. So I just gave up unworried. I haven't gotten the update yet and will give it thru tomorrow before I try again. For what it's worth, the gps has always worked fine for me.
I get the same things, no root, nothing. I have a feeling that it just hasnt been released to us yet. I could be wrong and if so its gonna really suck. I bought mine 3 weeks ago from Amazon.
Something that would confirm to me that its just that it hasnt been released is if someone who got this message magically starts working the next day, whatever. Anyone?
I'm not really sure what to believe.. Seems like many others can at least see the update from the software update menu -
some have brought their phones into at&t and gotten a new phone that does get the update manually as well.. I am well past the 30 day return and like a lot of us, have flashed other roms, etc- But this doesn't seem to be a problem with some as they are still able to get the OTA update..
I assume we just wait for the next few weeks as they push the update to everyone- but who wants to wait that long??
I understand 100% about not waiting. I keep bumping my calendar forward and trying again....Im up to some where in first part of October already.
Mine always comes up with two arrows in the upper left corner. Once, before it failed to communicate it in the top of the screen in the center it came up with a white circle with arrows inside it. In a few seconds it gave the failed to communicate.
Yea, I agree with whom said that it is prob a server rejection on the matter.. guess we will have to wait. T_T

Except for the ATT store thing, I've had the exact same experience. Never been able to connect, and my update clock (to ping the server) gets reset to 24h. Even though it couldn't communicate in the first place. This happened before and after root. Never thought to go to the ATT store since I got the phone online.
I wonder if it has to do with locale. A lot of the people posting "no problem" or that they got updates are not in the coastal cities with a lot of ATT server load (e.g., SF and NYC). I'm in NYC. Could that be it?

I'm in Wichita, KS, by no stretch of imagination could this place be a congested area. I have had the same issue since day 1.

I'm also in NYC, but my SIM is still on my iphone 3GS contract. (got the phone from ebay).
and my calender is already up to...Jan 1 2011.
I give up.
Downloads to 100%, I tell it to proceed, phone reboots, returns to the launcher and I get "The update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone."
That is followed with "Connection failed. Unable to connect to AT&T server."
Now when I try to even enter the software update screen I get "No Firmware" and nothing at all happens.
I've been through this twice now, each time backup up the entire phone using ROM manager before I try to update and after it fails, restore to before the failed update attempt. Sick of trying to get the update and sick of the GPS not working.
Update FAIL. Reading the dozens of stories of all the other people with problems it makes me not even want to try any more. I don't understand how with some people it works and others it fails with what seems to be no rhyme or reason.
Maybe I should backup, completely wipe the phone then try the update. But again, I've read of people trying that with no luck. I just don't get it.
Hi all,
This is my 1st Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S) its 5 days old and seems to have a problem.
When I surf the net through my wifi connection at home after 10>20 mins of use its freezes, vibrates then crashes back to my home screen. Once at home screen it then vibrates 3 more times.
Its not rooted or running any additional software.
I've reset it 3 times to see if this helps but it doesnt.
Today I phoned Samsung support (uk) and they said it sounds like a software issue and they asked me to takes it to car phone warehouse so they could check it over.
I dropped into cpw house and explained my problems and they said they would re flash the firmware. 1 hour later I picked the phone up and went back home.
When i got home I checked the phone over to discover they had down graded it from 2.2 to 2.1.
I surfed the net for abit over my wifi connection and didnt seem to have any issues but the gremlins got the better of me and I decided to upgrade the firmware through Kies to version 2.2.
The way I see it I purchased 2.2 Froyo not 2.1 Eclair.
Since updating to 2.2 I'm back to having issues with wifi where it freezes, vibrates then crashes to home screen and vibrates 3 more times.
Please can someone help because I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software.
Thx in advance !!
hi
you need to understand one thing
The Phone is on carers software, and by that it is meant to do whatever
carer decided it to do....
Without Rooting your phone ( what is breaching of your warranty)
De branding it ( in most of the cases)
And Un locking it.
there is not much you can do other than referring to the Carphone warehouse once again, for a WORKING software for your phone.
You can see witch Froyo Base/Breed you have in system informations
and then look for the answers for that specific Base/ Breed
But if you decide to Root your phone then tutorials for that are hire just google for it, its really easy, if you know what are you doing
best luck
xiadz
Thx for your reply xiadz.
Please let me extend..
The phone does not and wasn't purchased from the car phone ware house.
I purchased it from a local add. It was an upgrade and the previous owner was happy with his Iphone so I decided to purchase it from him (unopened and in the box) It is unlocked to any carrier and I have tried 3 different simm cards in it so it doesnt require unlocking.
Ive looked into the rooting and lag fixes but this didnt fix my problem.
I appreciate your help thou
DISCLAIMER:
I'm from Belgium and English is not my native language, I am aware that my English is not great so please forgive me.
Hello,
I recieved my HTC One two weeks ago after waiting 2 months. It was a pain in the ass to get the phone.
Here in Belgium the phone is still not for sale so I had to buy the phone on a site from the Netherlands (algebeld.nl).
Now, here is the problem:
I wasn't aware that I was able to recieve 4G LTE in my region until a few days ago, I didn't know this because I never recieved 4G on my phone. Aparently I should recieve 4G and looked into the settings and everything is set to recieve 4G, so my settings are not the problem.
Another thing I noticed was that I am still on older software and didn't recieve the latest update, I'm still on 1.29.111.11.
This concerned me so I did some research and it turns out (not 100% sure though) that my device is branded to T-mobile, even though it is an unlocked device.
So the reason I can't connect to 4G is (I think) the radio module is clocked at a different frequency so I can't recieve 4G.
I was under the impression that I was buying an unbranded device so this kinda blows...
No 4G isn't the only problem, I will also have to wait for OTA's a lot longer.
So my question is:
Is there a way to solve this? I could root my phone in order to get the latest software but still if there comes an update which updates the hboot, it will check my cid and there will be a chance I won't be able to update my hboot and install the update.
If I could just solve the cid problem it would be awesome because 4G isn't THAT big of a deal, but it would be even better if there was a way to recieve 4G or totally debrand my device. I don't know if there is a way to solve this through software since it's the radio module that has a different frequency and that's a hardware problem :s
Anyway, thanks in advance!
