Either No software update available, or a message like No connection available.
Since this morning, I get the message Checking for new software available, then it just goes away and I don't get any other messages. I went to Verizon and the rep I talked to tried it and his did the same thing. Any one else noticed this change?
I am starting the 2nd day of this exact action on my TB. I'm 67 yoa and when my 2 yr. contract is up I will be seriously considering dropping my wireless service. I like gadgets, however, I survived without wireless for 45+ years and I think I can live without it for my time remaining on God's beautiful earth as,for me, a cell phone is now nothing but a gadget. If someone wants me, they can get a hold of me after I get home from my motorcycle ride.

It doesnt say it makes a tabbed app drawer. It says app menu tabbed, which is only on certain apps. Helps with performance overall, i absolutely love it and starting to love my phone again after this update. Don't listen to Sbordens post, couldn't be further from the truth. If your getting the service unavailable message look at my thread i started about an email i got from HTC, there is a tip in there(from htc) to get it working.(havent tested the trick cause i aready have the update)
Tboltaz,
Im not getting service not available mesg. What happens is I tell the phone to look for a new update the window pops up stating that it is looking then a secound or so later it just goes away leaving me on the Update screen (Where it shows Status and Check For Update) Nothing else happens. It's frustrating because the rest of the phone Data wise works fine I can surf send E-mail etc so it's not a service problem and Im not getting a message that says so. Im not getting any message at all and it's driving me crazy because I don't' know if there is a problem with the phone or if it's just that I'm in a holding pattern for the Update if you will. What would help is to know if anybody else that has had this problem while in 3G/4G has been able to get the Update. I know a few of you that where getting no service managed to put the phone in 1x mode and get it but I doubt that will solve my problem the phone is getting to the network but dose not want to give me an answer. So basically it's acting like a VZW Rep when you ask them about Gingerbread

Haha nice analogy. I wold try doing a battery pull then once your back up set phone to cdma only then chck for an update, it showed up for me by doing that, once i accepted the update i quickly set it back to 4g so it could download on 4g rather than 3g or 1x. if that doesnt work read my thread i started a few hours ago, there is an email i got from htc in there which they explain how to pull the update if its not working.( I havent tested it since i got update last night and didnt get the email from htc till this morning) let me know if it works. Cheers-
Update: This is what HTC says to do--let me know if it works
"You can attempt a device check in to see if available for your phone, if needed. Open the phone dialer and dial *#*#2432546#*#*. The number should then go blank and you will look for a notification on the status bar for “Check in succeeded.” You can then tap Menu while on the Home screen followed by Settings>System Updates. If unavailable at this time, we recommend waiting a week or so for the notification to show on your phone as staggered releases will take some time to get to everyone."
