ota about to download

I randomly decided to check for new software and it says the update is there and will download in 2 minutes. Just FYI you may want to run the check.
 
Did you download the update a couple of weeks ago?? Wondering if this is a new fix. I heard there was going to be three patches released.

I don't have a tbolt but the wife does. Will ask her to check for an update.

Now that your update is done downloading and installing, go to Menu ---> About Phone ---> Software Information and let us know what your software version is.

not real sure what they are. just listed what they were set to. I double checked and that is what they are.
 
Yeah...you got the same OTA update everyone else got over the past couple weeks.

The PRI has to do with your local tower search algorythyms and can be updated manually #*EDIT: dont try to update manually...as other poster commented, 4 g pushes the PRI updates:END EDIT*# by dialing some combo of numbers...I can't recall what they are. Some people are anal about updating the PRIs weekly. Others, like me, update once in a while when I run across a thread reminding me to do it. Supposedly if it is updated it will locate cell tower signals quicker. I have never noticed a difference. Don't get hung up on trying to match someone in another area...it'll drive you nuts.

Not sure if its the same on the thuderbolt but *228 then send (like you were making a phone call) works on every other phone I have had. Use option 2.

O, no I'm aware of *228 would do that on my D1 all the time, no u can't do that on Bolt or u shouldn't do it heard it burns out ur sim card

Just did a quick search and it looks like the sim card does the PRL updates when it talks to a new tower so there is no need to manually update.

Also, I would really hope that verizon would not let the SIM card get damaged if I someone did do *228 in an attempt to update. They have trained customers to use that method for years.

PRL updates are pushed on LTE devices, and you should not use *228. There is information that tells you it will burn out your SIM card, but I get a notification POP up if I try it telling me that you can't do it.
