I was just playing with my phone and thought I'd check for an update to phone software. Surprisingly, the message that usually pops (saying your OS is up to date) isn't showing up and instead, it just keeps searching. Is something brewing???
Don't know if anything is "brewing" but mine is doing the same as yours...Verizon V980 @ 7:55 AM CST.
What version are you using? Sprint got an update a week or two ago now

I had to reset my phone a month ago and I'm still on VS98010B. Haven't seen a reason to update Is it strange I haven't gotten the update nag?

My phone was connecting with something today, then I had a message saying I had an update. So I downloaded it, it said I may wait up to 10 minutes, but it took less than 30 seconds and the phone rebooted. But it seems like its the exact same. I'm not sure if I even got the update. I checked in settings and its saying my firmware is up to date.
My vibrant is rooted, with stock software, with gps fix and lag fix. Any ideas? Is there a way to find out if its updated?

From your home screen, click on the settings, go to About phone Look at baseband version, if it reads T959UVJI6. then you are updated.
I have received the Tmobile ota update twice and both times my phones stays on vibrant screen and nothing else. The first time i kept my phone rooted and did the download and the progress bar goes to 100% and the phone reboots and gets stuck on the Vibrant screen and i left it like that for 20 mins. I flashed the stock rom again then a week later i got the ota again. I unrooted this time did the download and the same thing happened again. Has anyone had the same issue or know if i am doing anything wrong?
Why don't you just manually update to the latest update and save yourself the trouble of ota updates

sure they would. no ota will be 100% successful. with such a popular device even a small percentage of failures is still thousands of bricks.

Right, but we're not evaluating Samsung's overall success. We're on a XDA thread where the majority of people have modded their phone out of warranty. I know 6 people personally with vibrants, i'm the only one who takes the initiative to mod my phone and my 6 friends all installed the OTA just fine, and these people don't know anything about android other than it's "super cool" and they upgraded just fine.
I had the same problem with the OTA update from tmobile on 2 sgs I have. Just flashed the JI6 update they attempted to install using odin and was good to go.

Do you already have a file named "update.zip" on your internal storage? That could be the problem. if you do rename it, and then when you get the OTA again it should work. Also I heard customer recovery can cause issues.
Trying to watch Green Hornet but the HTC software update wont start so I can watch it. Anyone else dealin with this?
Me. I did a few OTA updates soon as I got the phone and then when I tried to watch the Green Hornet it prompted 3 more updates and have been at 0% for over an hour now, and I've tried Wifi, 3g, and 4g smh......
Same here...servers must be slammed with everyone trying to do the same thing.
edit...working now.
Now mines says "Application updates (2/3) (paused)
yeah looks like its working now
got mine at 8am and its still hasnt downloaded the update, these servers need to get it together
I had to retry about four times before mine updated.

I've restarted and shut my phone on and off over 5 times and still not much luck....i'll just wait patiently
So i notice i had an update, i figured it was the Adfree app since its constantly being upated so i go ahead and click it. Next thing i know, the screen goes black and says downloading and installing system update. (it didn't look like any of the HTC updates which promps you to choose between wifi) At this point i was like wth is being updated since it gave no log or any details about what the update does, i try to pull the battery but the update finishes before i could remove it. Now i have no idea what just got updated Has anyone gotten an update like that? If so, any ideas what it does?

How would anyone here know unless they were looking over your shoulder ? Just go to settings-about phone-software info. If it says 2.08.621.3, it was the HTC Sprint update. I don't know if the GSM update has a different version, but you can probably find out what the update for that is as well.
I had that too, i had quickly clicked cancel though, dunno what's up
I'm running 2.08.651.2
I just received the same update but no clue on what was updated

I have 2.08.621.3. It didn't look like any previous update since no change log or any details about what was being update was shown. It was just a black screen and nothing else, didn't give me an option to cancel either.

Wired. I'm on .3 here and just did a manual check and got nothing. Not typical for updates to push out to start this late though either.
Checked HTC hub too and nothing.

I found the auto update box checked for htc. I unchecked it, curious if it happens again.
I got the update too but I cancelled it before it installed
I just did a nand restore of a rom based off Zone's that is using bcblends kernel. I let the phone sit for about five minutes after it booted, then checked it and it said "service update complete" in a bubble over my homescreen. My build is still 2.08.651.2.
Yeah everything seems the same at the moment and like others have said it wasn't a typical update it never asked if I wanted to update or not the screen went black and a box appeared and said system update then 3 minutes later said update complete and nothing else after that no change log or anything

From my tricked out 3d
Got me too....
Yep automatically updated me!! Wtf? What's going on?
Very strange. No information released they just push these updates?? Luckily I caught it and canceled immediately. Please don't come back!

Same thing with me. My phone was sitting on the counter after I got off a call. 2 hours later I pick it up and it says update complete. I'm on ViperRom and haven't noticed anything wacky going on so far.
Dying to know what this is about. The only reason I knew is my sister texted me telling me her phone updated (same phone). I told her that was weird and she shouldn't have accepted. Then a moment later mine tried to and I canceled. Ugh. I hate not having explanations.

Add one to the auto update. Running Warm, auto update unchecked as always, was on a call with screen off and when I hung up had the popup saying update will now be applied. Still have root so no worries.

I got my Rezound last week and I'm loving it. Right now I'm running stock, however i will be rooting in the foreseeable future. However i noticed a couple of times when i had to Restart my phone that the recent OTA update would DL only to fail to install. I don't want the update as i've heard and seen it reduces battery life. Should i worry my phone is defective? a couple of more days so i can return it and get another one. Would that be wise? thoughts?
You haven't done anything to it? If you haven't just take it to the Verizon store and have them look at it. If they can't get the update on exchange it. There's no reason why it shouldn't accept the update if you haven't done anything afaik.

I've not done anything, still running full stock. That's what i was thinking, i don't want this to come back and bite me in the ass. Plus i still have the 14 days to bring it directly to verizon. thanks
I am exeriencing the same thing...happened several times; firmware downloads and nothing happens. I reboot and nothin. The phone is stock. The last time after rebooting, it showed a push air thing in the notificication, and when I clicked it nothin happened...oy.
When I check the status, it just shows a rescent date along with the description of the update...and nothing happens when I click check new.
I sorta want the update so I can get rid of the headphone jack noise...and I feel like if I go to a verizon store, not much will be accomplished...hmmmmm

I went to Verizon today and the guy was able to update my phone. I actually didn't want to but eh. I told him what he did and all he told me was "Check Update" and plug it in the to the charger *which is the way my phone had been when i tried updating* and it began to install.
Hmm still nothing happens when I click check new, tried with it charging and unplugged... Might pop into a store later and see what's up, phone keeps freezing on meh! Have any negative experiences from the update so far? I'm weary of that verizon agent thing running all the time

I had the same issue with the "check new" screen just disappearing when I was completely stock. I called verizon a couple days ago and they checked to make sure that I had tried to update with 4G, 3G, 4G w/ wireless, 3G w/ wireless. I had also tried doing a factory reset and pulling the SIM and battery out for 20 minutes. If all those dont work for you, they say you can either get a "certified like new" phone shipped to you or you can get on a 3way call with htc and verizon support to get the issue resolved. You might want to try those things and if still nothing I would call.
