I got a text message from AT&T yesterday saying they were "providing a critical software update that will enhance the performance of your HTC Vivid device."
So far, I have not been able to access their server to download the update. When I tap on Check for Updates in Settings, the checking message appears for a few seconds and then disappears.
Has anyone else gotten this message, or knows what this update is for?
Thanks
Edit: HTC does not have a new software update posted for the Vivid, just the 3-22 version. I wonder if I got the message because I used the direct method to get the update (*#*#682#*#*) rather than through the Check for Updates in Settings, and AT&T thinks I still have not updated.
I ran the manual update and it said there was no update available.

That's consistent with the fact that every time I try to check for updates nothing happens. I wonder why I got the message from AT&T if they have no update for us. As I said above, it may be due to the fact that I got the original update manually rather than through the Check for Updates feature in Settings.
Thanks for checking.
I've heard about that some kind I glitch.

After I successfully completed the JH7 update a while back, I get the "Communication failed" error when trying to manually check for an update. It's almost immediate. Anyone else getting this and know how to fix? I'm running stock 2.1 update 1.
I know there is no pending update, but it used to tell me that rather than this error.
I get the same error.

I talked to AT&T and they had no clue (as expected) and told me to contact Samsung. I emailed Samsung but never heard anything - not even a "we got your email" response. I'm hoping a 2.2 upgrade would fix it assuming they can OTA that somehow without me having to get it the same way the Software Update tries (and fails). Worried I may be stuck and cannot get 2.2 when it does come out if this keeps up.
I guess I posted a little too quickly. I found a Samsung response in my spam folder. It said to call Samsung so I did. He said that as long as everything else is working (market, etc.), then the reason it gives me the error is because there are no updates available for the phone. When an update is made available they will make the servers available and I will be able to download.
I'm not sure I completely buy it because it used to tell me no updates, but maybe JH7 changed the way this works to keep traffic off AT&T's servers. I guess I'll wait for the 2.2 update and see.
My phone has recently updated but what is the update? Nothing seems to of changed i am new to all this so please excuse me if this seems silly.
It was the "pre No-Do" update, which is supposed to make the updating process smoother for future updates. It didn't make any actual changes the user can see, but I assume it changed some back-end stuff that makes updating/backup easier.
Probably a good thing, considering all the trouble they had with Samsung.
Edit: The actual "No-Do" update with Copy/Paste, improved speed etc should be due very soon. March 8th if rumours are to be believed.
why I still don't get update for my hd7??I am in usa with tmobile
T-Mobile USA seem to be one of the few networks who still haven't rolled out the update.
Just keep checking in Zune for the update. I didn't get an alert on my phone, it was just there when I plugged it in to sync.

Got an alert on my phone & updated on Zune, strangely my wi-fi seemed to have switched itself on!!!
So a couple days ago i got a text from ATT saying that there was a new version available for my phone, and i am running ICS so i thought it was a small update or something i tried checking and i got nothing i was wondering if anyone else got that text? but thats not even my issue after i tried to update i cant view my text messages anymore it just says Loading... i had to download go pro and thats even very slow. Anyone know how to fix that? and yes i have tried turning it off and on. thanks.
I got the text too, made me wonder if there was an updated to some of the noted issues.
But I didn't get the chance then to check it out or try it, and wasn't sure it was just the original ICS update message, cause I'm still running Gingerbread.
But it's one of the main reasons I logged on today.
my wife experienced the same thing, but after the upgrade the baseband was still the latest att update for vivid (.56), nothing new.
never did check hers beforehand, but I'm pretty sure mine came w/ .56 (refurb from att) at the same time. I'd already upgraded my device to darkraider.
I got the same message a few weeks back. I contacted AT&T Support. They said that 4.0.3 was the latest version. They did not say why I got the message. I suspect it was because I pulled the update using the special code (#*#*286*#*#), which does not seem to work any more.
Received it's 4.3 update on Sprint last Wednesday for my completely stock HTC One. I noticed after update was completed my WiFi would not remain connected. Checked all possible problems I could check with my phone and WiFi, none fixed the issue. I now, after going through a HUGE run around have a new One and keep getting notified of the 4.3 update and was just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue? Holding off on doing the update due to not wanting the phone to have the same problem and to have go through all the crap I had to the first time just to get a replacement phone.

Yea, i am having the same exact issues after updating to 4.3 last week on the International HTC One......It is defenitely a software issue, as my One was perfectly fine before the update.
Plz do me a HUGE favor and notify Google on this issue the more people call the faster we get the fix and idk about u but I'm getting really impatient waiting for them to fix this

Hey all-
I was messing around with my phone today, a T-mobile s6 edge 128 gb, when I noticed in my settings-> about phone, the top option says download software manually. I thought that was weird as it used to notify me when an OTA update was available and it's been long minute since I received one. So I checked for one, and it found one, downloaded it and installed it. Then it checked again, found another, and installed it. I'm now updated to the latest firmware, November 2016. But why did it stop checking automatically and how do I change it back? Is it the scheduler option right below it? Even when I turn that on, that first option still says download updates manually. I just want to be notified when there's an OTA update without having to check, like it does on all my other Android devices and used to on my phone. Appreciate any advice.
