Wait.. so you guys counted to 40 and then turned off your data connection?

Good to hear guys, I waited 35 sec. Badcam3 yes thats when you cut off data. Some people have reported over 60 sec, some 15. Good luck!

No joy on O2 uk.

It worked for my unbrand asia HD7, Its great thanks !!!

it works kinda
Okay so I tried this and it updates successfully (had to wait nearly 60 second)
I was successfully running NoDo and I tested almost everything, but
DNS was not working, I tried over Wifi everything was fine, tried my data connection and got the error message "could not find DNS server.
I'm restoring my phone using zune, and see if that resolves it.
If that does, I'm just going to bite the bullet and unbrand that SOB with the NoDo rom using the method outlined by ansar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019
Edit:
I actually I think it's a t-mobile issue, I left my nexus at home so I can't verify. To make matters worse I hard reset my phone, after downgrading my rom version. FUC*!!!
Edit 2:29Pm 03/30/2011
Yes it was a t-mobile thing. Hardreset and downgraded for no reason. Good news as soon as I reconnected to Zune I got NoDo update immediately
-good part is, Zune restore works flawlessly for those who are wondering.

Though I like to think I have pretty good sense of time, I used my watch just to be extra precise.

Hey guys, I wanted to clear some things up for you guys since some seem a bit confused about the timing.
The timing differs for EVERYONE! You need to time how long it says "checking for updates" or whatever. Once you get that time, lets call it "n", you do it again (with cellular data on). Before you search for an update again, I went to the "phone updates" in the settings tab, make sure the "check for updates via cellular data" is checked, you want to stay here while zune looks for your update. Now manually search for an update and at approximately (n-1)seconds you want to uncheck that box. Your phone should show a notification that says there's an update available.
IF IT IS TOO LONG OF A READ, BASICALLY EVERYONES TIMING IS DIFFERENT!

It worked on 3rd attempt due to timing. But it is okay. And it kept itself jailbroken and I can sideload anything just like before.
Great.
PS: This should be pinned, IMHO.

DataBase Update Check

A few days ago I started getting this message on my diamond that says:
DataBase Update Check
It may cost you data connection fee to check if new database update for Connection Setup. Would you like to proceed?
How do I get rid of this message?
Updating?...
Not sure if this is the same thing but have you tried:
Start/settings/connections/connection setup/menu - then untick "Enable Auto Configuration"
Again, no idea but it was just a thought.

Yeah, forgot to mention.
It has 2 options; Yes and No.
I choose yes, and it comes back again in 3-4 minutes.

Just tried this to no avail
I have been getting the same thing for the last 3 days, since coming back from holiday abroad, and it's very annoying, I never got that before, I thought it had something to do with the fact that i'd been roaming, but i see that other people are starting to get it at about the same time, could it be a network thing?
I've got the same issue since a couple of days... it's really annoying!
Is there a solution yet?
Same Issue with automatic update
I also got this issue since a couple of days! I have already stated it here but also still no answer yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402091
Any support is highly appreciated!
I had this like 12 times while driving for 2hrs and using tomtom, the message would pop up over tomtom and take several presses to get it to disappear then often dumping me back to the HTC start page forcing me to faff with menus while driving to get tomtom back up, by the end of the trip i was nearly ready to throw the phone under the next lorry that passed me on the motorway
Really pi**ed off with this one
Hi,
I have same problem and it started when I proceed connection setup application. Now when I update weather or make a phone call that same note apears database update check.....
I did try soft reset also no help.. Any solved this problem?
Same here, pops up over my TomTom while driving - really annoying!
It happens every time I make a call.
Isn't there any one who knows how to get rid off this message?
Seems like this message pops up each time you try to connect to EDGE. So anytime the weather updates this message pops up. Very annoying!
Same problem here for at least one month already...
I performed a hard reset of my phone, it seemed to be ok, but since i installed Windows Live application, and set Hotmail to check emails once an hour, it has reappeared. Really annoying thing. Looks like everyone has been affected by it and it has only been happening for a few weeks. Something must have happened to trigger it on everyone's phones. We need to get to the core of it. I have been through all my Connections Settings trying to find a way to turn it off, but couldn't find anything yet. It would be great to get rid of this annoyance.
What ROM do you have? I have DUttys 3.1....
i get this on dutty 3.3. think its only started popping up recently. im on o2 in uk
I'm on Dutty's 3.5 (I think). Will revert back to Swiftblade's during the weekend, I'll post my findings then.
and I am on duttys 3.3, could this be connected to duttys rom?
I've also got Dutty's 3.3 ROM but have had it working fine before this message started coming up. I'm on T-mobile UK.

[Q] Android Market "no connection"?

Bought a Dell Streak 7 Wi-Fi from best buy on black Friday. Just got around to opening the thing the other day, i got around to CWM and got it rooted but that's about as far as i get. Now im trying to install apps from the market but when i click the market i get a "no connection" message, i'm 2 feet away from my wireless router.

Well it means you have no connection. Have you checked your wifi settings on the Streak? Have you tried opening the browser? And last of all, please don't post with vague simple questions. If you want help, do some reading first
First of all Cdzo, there's no need to be so unhelpful, and if anything a bit rude too.. I can totally understand this persons problem and having suffered the same issue myself I can say that I've done a bit of reading up before coming here to consult with the experts. This is a place for people to help each other out after all.
In regards to this problem, if it helps you help us cdzo, I am fully connected to my wifi router and have full access to the internet, other app stores etc. it just appears that the official Android market keeps saying "no connection" even though we are fully connected.
I have tried restarts, factory resets and am running the totally unmodified honeycomb Dell ROM.
Hope this shines a bit more light on our issues

1) first thing I recommend is going to applications and clearing the cache for the market updater
2) clear cache and data for the market app in applications
3) go into wifi and forget the connection
4) restart the streak, once rebooted setup the wifi connection again
5) go to your google talk app and sign in BEFORE going to the market
6) if this doesn't solve your problem then my suggestion would be a factory reset because you have a problem with your "gapps"

Are you logged in the wireless lan? If yes try cdzo72s steps.
And please give more information in the nexts questions
Hiya Cdzo72.
i just wanted to come back and thank you for your help on this.
i did try everything but to no avail, however, doing the hard reset and following the process again, clearing out the cache, and running google talk first seemed to solve the issue ;-)
you my friend are a lagend ;-)

Hate you had to do a factory reset, those always suck... but glad you got up and running again. Word of advice, clear that market cache and market data about once a week so you don't have any trouble with updates and update notifications
have u reset it recently?

If u have recently reset it than it has reset the time and date therefore it cannot update or know what the newest apps are or display the latest news. To set the date and time correct again go to settings and under it will say date and time, set it there. :silly: :laugh: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
That solved my problem exactly. I never knew having the time not right would not let me connect to the play store!! Thanks again.

same situation here... waiting for solution
Was pleased to get the update today... 3 updates in total...
Lovin the new homescreen... :good:
Also, the new colours are great... Even the old colours look better (red/orange)... They really have body, like an amoled without an amoled...
No "Trick", no Tool...
Just go to Zune and ... hey there's an UPDATE.
Love new Homescreen.
And my Lumia 710 just wait for it.
Does this mean the HD7s will get it too?
The relation between this 2 models confuses me and I couldn't find a hd7s specific forum
(Maybe I'm a n00b... Like the ones mentioned in the video haha)
The trick method with zune (pulling out the cable) didn't work for me for the last two days, but I had to do a hard reset on the phone and changed the system locale to English (Canada), and that seemed to get the update done - I had seen a bunch of Canadians getting the update, so I tried this and it worked!
US T-Mobile HD7 upgrade to 7.8
Has anyone gotten upgrade to 7.8 on their phone?
I tried the disconnect method, but no joy.
Use Seven-Eighter, it worked for me.
Don't forget to select all languages you have installed to update.
Spanish HD7 updated to 7.8!
Hi, I just wanna share my experience with you:
NOTE 1: First of all, try a normal update on Zune without doing any special trick, Many people is updating the device without any special action!
NOTE 2: There are some data consumption related bugs. Check them here.
This has been my experience:
There are 3 updates to install, as previously mentioned: 7.10.8779.8 --> 7.10.8783.12 --> 7.10.8858.136
These are the steps to follow on each update, taken from several posts over the net as this:
1) Disconnect WiFi and other data connections on the device.
2) Connect device to Zune
3) Go to settings->phone->update
4) While searching for updates for the device count to 5 and disconnect internet on your computer (WiFi, ethernet, whatever...).
5) Wait about 30 seconds for the Zune response.
6) If "no updates available" or "error searching" or similar response is shown, go to another option in the left menu and then repeat the process from step 3. If "update found", go to Step 7.
7) Reconnect Internet access (ethernet, WiFi...) on your computer (not the phone).
8) Follow instructions to install the update
Some notes:
- I have spent more than 15 tries to make Zune show the update. It depends on Internet/computer response when searching to Microsoft update servers. If 5 seconds don't work for you, try changing the wait time. In my case, started with 1 second, then 2, then 3... 5 resulted to be the perfect one. The second and third update only used 3 search attemps. Using wireshark may help, look at instructions explained by user "medeis" on a comment in this page: here.
- 1st update is very slow, the second and the third is much faster (no backup required as in first).
- Repeat this procedure for every update (3 in total).
It worked for me on my unbranded HTC HD7 from Spain. It runs very smoothly, but nothing special apart from the new tiles (ok, great), accent colors (unnecessary, don't know why I can't choose one from a color picker...) and lock screen (my child is more beautiful thant any bing image...)
Cheers,
xdomingo
i think , removing simcard ! is only thing we need. works for me in first hours 7.8 coming ...

I'm still wondering about this. I haven't heard anything about updates for the HD7S at all and I've been searching for two days.
Then again, I'm a n00b too. *sigh*

Zune offered me the 7.10.8860.142
no tricks, no magic or "quantum healing" pseudoscience (for you new age ignorants)
from now on, xda-developers.com can LOL at this assholes:

The moral in this tale: WPCentral are STUPIDS
Question for anyone who streams music over bluetooth; how is the sound quality? In previous versions, audio bitrates were purposely crippled in the registry and it sounded awful. Did they fix that? Zune has started to badger me about this update as well, and I'm tempted to update. I'm running a modded firmware just to get around the bluetooth issue and don't want to update if it's just going to get me crappy sound quality again...

[Q] 7.8 update

I've got an AT&T braded HD7. It would never update past 7720. Yeah, pre Tango. Bug fixes? Who needs those? Sorry, I'm frustrated.
Anyways, today I unlocked the phone (legit means). Now I've got my AT&T and an unused T-Mobile SIM.
No matter the method, I cannot get an upgrade. Let me be clear: I'd rather not have to hack my phone, but get the update normally.
Everything I've tried, hard resets, one SIM, the other, no SIM, different locales, hours of Zune unplug network "trick", nothing works. I'm "up to date" at 7720.
Can anyone:
1. Confirm that AT&T (U.S.) branded HD7 can in no way get an update through Zune normally.
2. Give their true opinion on the stability of SevenEighter.
No luck!

I'll say that the SevenEighter tool work comletely fine for my T-Mobile branded HD7. Great little tool. Just be sure to select all the language packs your phone needs to operate.
As for the AT&T question, as far as I know, AT&T didn't realease an update for the HD7. If they haven't released any update for pre-Tango, I don't think you'll have any luck.

I went ahead on Sunday and used SevenEighter. I also did research about the language packs before I ran it. It worked great. I was -NINE- revisions behind, so it took a while. It blows my mind AT&T wouldn't even release the Tango bug fix version. What a garbage provider.
Woah!

So far so good. I'm not the type to use a lot of apps, email, and facebook. I just like the simple interface.
I guess I'll put it through its paces when I attempt to use it with a new bluetooth car stereo.

Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T Update Failure, High Timer

Hello, this is my first post.
Today at work I was on the Wi-Fi, downloading my 5.0 update, and it was taking forever. When it finished, it said that there was insufficient space on the device. So, being the smart person that I am, I uninstalled some larger apps and the like. By the time I had finished weeding out all the unused apps, the AT&T update popup was nowhere to be found.
Is there a way to force re-update, or to force installation of downloaded update w/o checking the AT&T servers AND WITHOUT ROOT? Because, for some reason, the About Device>Software Update>Check for Update time shows 2950 Hours.
Help me. Please.

The only thing that I can think of is that maybe your device would have been rooted or tampered with. Therefore not able to take the OTA.

Thanks so much for your help. I was going to contact AT&T, but they are closed.
I don't think my device was tampered with, it's basically brand new. I'm not really sure what to do either.
You wouldn't mind sharing this around, I hope.
Foreign customer service is only efficient if you speak Indian.
Thanks, and have a great night/day.
