Update or virus? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday when I turned on the wifi on my GS2 I've received a pop up msg saying there was an update. I clicked on cancel and then went to settings, about the phone, updates and tried to update...to my surprise there was no updates available.
Could this be a virus? I've ran AVG and Bitdefender and they could not find anything.

Are you sure it said there was an update and not that it wanted to check for an update? I had a similar one that fooled me for a minute..I guess its because I always live in hope of one....

Maybe it's an update for an app in the market?

It took on mine over wifi. I never activated my 3D so I don't get 3G or 4G.
In fact the only reason I have it is because I tried to play green hornet movie and said update required so I have it even if I'm not sure I wanted it. Lol
Then I tried sprint tv app and again... UPDATE REQUIRED! I guess I won't be using that app .

[Q] Receiving "Application Updates Available" should I?

I have been receiving messages that there are updates available. One was an update for the lock screen and a couple other things and now I get one that just says "Application Updates Available." Should I do these updates now that I have rooted my 3VO? When I had a HERO the ROMs seemed not to block the updates from coming through. Sorry if I sound noobie
Just a couple of apps. Not gonna hurt a thing.

Thanks, you just never know. Ya know?
If it will unroot your phone, it will be a large download.

I accepted that update after I rooted, no issues at all.

Has anyone had trouble with the software update

Everytime I go to check for a software update it starts checking then goes off quickly without telling me if there was one or not. Any suggestions?

I was in the same boat as you. Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469246
You can check the first and last post in that. The way I got around it was by activating my sim in another rezound and then swapping back into my original and it all of a sudden worked. Dont really know why, but i know another person got it working that way too.

Can't download or update apps from market on 4G

I am having a strange problem on the Google play market store, whenever I try to Download or update an app on 4G it gives me a message saying "waiting for network" and it just hangs there and does not start the Download process but when I switch back to 3G it starts the download right away which would be fine if my 3g wasn't so dam slow...Can anyone help? I'd really rather not download over 3g, I have tried clearing the cache for the play store app but the problem remains. I am able to do everything(browse the net, stream video, etc) on 4g except download apps from the store...wtf?

A quick search on Google on this issue lead me to the topic below, seems like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue...is anyone on here having trouble downloading apps from the store over 4G on their EVO 3D?

I am. I thought it was from flashing ZR3DX. It stopped working right after flashing it.
Hmm interesting, mine stopped working out of the blue as well...I have been using mean Rom 3.92 for over 4 months and it was working fine until recently. Have you found any work around? Could it be something wrong with the Google play store and not our phones?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Not our Rom or our phone. Some one over at the HTC EVO shift forums have the same issue. I say its the update. So what we need to do is downgrade the play store and break the damn auto update..... Any thoughts on how? :c

I'm trying to downgrade using a cracked Play Store. You should try too,

Delete the original Vending.Apk and replace with that one, reboot and report back to here.

I saw a Sprint Users.com forum where all sorts of Wimax phones are having the issue currently (OG Evo, EG4T, etc). Mine's been having problems since last night. I just disabled 4G and it immediately started downloading. Unfortunately 3G is horribly horribly slow in Raleigh, NC these days. Might as well be using the Edge network. Ugh.
researching varisous forums...multiple handset manufacturers, and multiple carriers. Google has been blaming Sprint, but I also see similar posts on Virgin Mobile and (at least one mention of...) Verizon.

HTC Evo 4G
Non-Rooted
For me it works fine on 3g and wifi, but 4g is broken. "WAITING FOR NETWORK" is all it says. Been on the same Rom for the last 4 months. So Yea this is definitely not the phones.
update: I uninstalled all updates for the google play app and it downloaded perfectly. Now I honestly can't see how this isn't anything other than a bad update from google.
update: however this only works once per app since the market updates and then when the next app starts Bam! Waiting for network.

I started having the same issue today.
This issue is still happening to me and has been for over a week now with no solution in sight
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Guys try uninstalling the updates as one of you mentioned but also go into system/app and delete MarketUpdater.apk. Copy it to your sdcard somewhere first. And after deleting reboot.
I don't have 4g and never used it but if your looking to use a version of Play Store that won't update that's the way to do it.

You can post on the Sprint forum, either start your own thread or post in an existing one:
Start a new thread:

They say no one from Sprint actually reads or cares about their user forums.
But at very least it gets the message out that there is a real problem.

S-Voice: "No weather results, sorry"

Greetings!
This started this evening for me - I ask S-Voice, "What's the weather like outside?" and it spends some time thinking before returning with "No weather results, sorry"
Sometimes it returns with "Network error. Please try again"
When I ask about birthdates of my contacts, mathematical problems, weights and measures conversions and it responds correctly - unless it returns with "Network error. Please try again"
Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks!
When i ask weather ..it gives same answer.. try using wifi instead of mobile data for avoidin network error
solution ?
Nyone having a solution for this ???
Same thing here. Maybe I need to update to the new software in order for it to work. "My device is version LF9"

I just got my S III today and I am having the same problem also.
Same issue for me too. Was working pretty good a couple of days ago, now - not so good. Tried it on 4g and wifi. No weather results and Network error.
Same here. I guess that is a problem on the server side, not on the client. Hope Samsung fix it soon.
Out of nowhere it's started to work again

Lol, same here. I thought it was a fluke, but it just started working fine for me too.
Awesome ..its working fine now.. it was the problem with galaxy server ..
Yes all good now , you would of thought Samsung would have made it state server update or something so u know it not your phone broken
