My GS3 Won't Let Me Check For Updates

[vett96mik]

Recently, when I've checked for an update on my phone it gives me a notice saying something to the tune of "you need service to check for an update". It gives me this when I'm connected to WiFi of 4G/3G. What should I do about this? I have attached a picture as an example of what actually happens.

Thanks

I'm in the same boat, did some googling on this issue but unfortunately I have yet to solve the problem.

I checked other forums and found that you can try this: Settings > Application Manager > Google Service Framework > Force Stop/Clear Data/Enable.
It worked for me!

tried that twice...still wont work

 

[DRX1983]

Didn't work for me as well.

Well I had this exact same problem on both my Bionic and X2. I tried EVERYTHING. Even stuff I didn't think would work.


Only thing to do is a FDR. I can almost guarantee that'll fix it. Sad, but true.

What do I do if I want to FDR?

How do you FDR and what should I save/do before I FDR?

FDR does NOT fix this! I tried

 

[vett96mik]

Well I have no idea what to do about this.
