Hey Guys....
I have a Bell Atrix that i put on the rogers network, it's been working fine but i can't seem to get the OTA update for gingerbread. I've searched through the forums and couldn't find anything like the issue i'm having.
When i go to system updates it goes into the "checking for available update" but it never finds anything and it never stops. I've kept it on for hours but never gets past that point.
I've tried it on wifi on 3g pulling the battery on the phone for a reset but it never gets past there. Every once in a while it will say "check for update was not available at this time please try again later".
I also tried the manual checkin method #*#* (whatever those numbers are) and it didn't help either....
any ideas besides doing a factory reset ??

I recently had problems with my phone constantly giving me "Error 67" and I could not get data through the Sprint network at times, other times it would work fine. I searched on google and this forum a great deal, but could not find anything that fixed it. I performed the profile update, PRL update, contacted Sprint and did some thing in the dialer starting with ## (I do not remember the numbers) that did some kind of auto update, and even installed the official 2.1 patch. Everything seemed to work at first, but nothing sticked for very long before the issues continued. The issues first started when I had my phone overclocked and slightly unstable, I thought that I had maybe damaged the phone and needed a replacement.
After a week of all this, I had an idea. I had just recently sold my BlackBerry Pearl (8130) to a co-worker, he still had not had data turned on for the phone but could make calls with it. The next day at work I asked to see his phone. He could not pull up any internet data, but under connections data was still turned on. I turned it off (since he did not need it anyways) and tried it out. It has been 2 days now without any errors. The only thing I can figure is that even though I cleared out all my data on that phone, it still had my password to connect to data. Since it is a smart phone, it would try here and there, even though there is no need for data. The network would see my phone trying to connect after the BlackBerry and boot it since that password is already connected.
The only reason I made this post was because I could not find any solutions on the net that helped me at all. I hope with this post maybe I could save a few people the headache I went through.
Hi guys, I am having a problem with downloading apps through cellular data on my mytouch 4g. I can download them fine if I am on wifi but it gets stuck on "starting download" progress bar without it. I've tried clearing the data for the market app, restoring it back to factory, and the google talk sign in; none of these worked for me. This is driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Fixed nvm
How did you fix it?
yeah how you fixed it would be nice as mine is doing the same thing... ugh wish t-mo could have just brought a legit phone out
Turn On Wifi
Even if there is no wifi connection, on my MT4G the wifi has to be enabled for the market to download.
I think this may be fixed on the new update that came out today. I still haven't seen my update yet. :-( mine still does this too.

Go into settings/wireless networks/mobile network or operator and select Tmobile network. Even it is checked select it and make sure your phone is gsm/wcdma checked. WCDMA only created problem for me. Also if you have temp root you will not get the update as long as it is running on your phone. In addition, if you disabled any bloatware you have to restore it before the update. Once I disabled Visionary and restored back to factory I got the update in a couple of hours.
This is a really weird problem but it has to do something with the connection to the google servers (mainly google talk). This is evident by the fact that you are signed off and can not connect to google talk when you're stuck on the starting download phase of downloading the app(s). There are two ways around this problem that I've seen so far
1. Before you want to download an app, run google talk and make sure you're signed in, then sign out and sign in again. Go download the app(s) afterwards. Once you do this after you first power on the phone, it should last until you power it off.
2. Another way is go and try to download an app(s) you want and it will be stuck on the starting download bar. DO NOT cancel the download, just restart the phone and it should start downloading once the phone is back on.
P.S. The update did not fix this issue because I still have to deal with it.
If I learn anything new, I will keep you posted.

I got the update with Superuser and root just fine.
Not to rub it in, but I'm really glad that I am not experiencing this problem. I'm liking the phone too much to have a reason to bring it back!
Ok I have found out that the Google talk sign out sign in trick does not always work while the restarting one always works. It definitely is something to do the Google servers and the way the phone syncs with them. What I found interesting is that when you open the market app, immediately experience this problem as you can not sync under accounts settings and services like Google talk stop working. Another thing is that it seems to be the HSPA and HSPA+ connections causing the issue, the apps won't dl on them but it will start immediately as your phone drops to edge. I don't know if this is a hardware, software issue with the phone or the Google servers getting adjusted to the mytouch 4gs since they just came out.
Think I'm going to exchange my phone since not a lot of people have this problem.
Sorry to bring up an old thread but i'm now having this issue aswell. I've tried to clear data, can't download on Wifi or 3g. When i click ok it just says the download will be started and nothing happens, Sometimes if i play around i can get it to go to say starting download but just sits there then i will get either a network error to retry or cancel. Sometimes it's just a download unsuccessful and i click ok.
I tried resetting aswell and still same issue. Not sure how to sign out of google talk.. haven't quit got the hang of android yet but i'm actually not happy right now!
Hi All,
Just tried buying an app from the marketplace and got this message:
"Can't get this info right now..."
I just spent about an hour searching various forums, and there seems to be a real difference of opinion about what this message means. Some posters suggest that it indicates a problem at MS's end (i.e. they're doing maintenance, something is wrong with Windows Live etc), and so the best thing to do is sit tight. Others seem to think it is user problem, and you need to reset the phone, clear the history in IE, turn on/off cookies in IE, etc... Given I didn't change anything on my phone and this just started happening for no obvious reason, I'm inclined to think its an MS problem. Anyone else dealt with this? Advice would be helpful as I don't want to waste time trying all the suggested solutions online...
I am having this same problem. It just started about 2 days ago. Saw all the same suggestions you mentioned, but none solved it.
I have not tried a factory reset, but it seems like an MS server issue.
I ended up doing a factory reset, but that didn't help. I think the problem is that I was using a US-based live account in Canada, and somehow the phone decided to lock me out of the marketplace due to my non-US IP address. Ended up resetting the phone again and then setting it up with a Canada based live account. Now everything is fine (although I have no access to the Zune marketplace). I wonder if the Feb update did something...
May also have something to do with the purchase validation cookie that sits on the phone...
Is anyone else still having problems downloading apps from the marketplace? When I tap install button I keep getting the message that says "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while" Is anyone else having this same issue today? This is the first time I've ever had issues with the marketplace, I've had this phone for almost a month. Seems like it's on Microsoft's end, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Seem to be other people on the XDA main forums having the problem...
Well whatever was causing the problem seems to have been fixed. I'm now able to download apps again =)
When I check for update return me this message: "Network coverage is currently poor. Move to area whit better network.". Anyone can help me? The wifi signal is full and I have internet.
have you tried to reboot your tab?
Yes several times.
Try this.

Just wanted to give a quick heads up to anybody else that has US Cellular and let you know that mine did a self-update at some point (from the US99110b it showed up with to US99110c).
I have NO IDEA when the phone did this, as I never got so much as a warning or a notification or anything (Hell, I have not even rebooted the device). Just figured I would check the "Software Status" for ***** & giggles after reading a couple posts on here and happened to notice it was at 10c now.
.......I mean I at least have the .kdz of my launch firmware so I can go back if needs be, just annoyed that these devices are doing what they want when they want at this point.......I've seen iRobot and I know this never leads anywhere good!!
was your device connected to wifi? curious if people that delete all saved wifi networks still get the OTA or not.
I've made a post in the lounge thread about these updates http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61672737&postcount=622
I wonder if USCC would all you to swap the phone out for a 10B model since you did not initiate the OTA?
I just checked mine and it is updated. The auto update was checked. I unchecked it and unchecked the auto check for updates in software update on the about screen.
