Does clearing cache & data in Google Services Framework really force OTA updates?

While waiting for Big Red to push the OTA 4.3 update to their Samsung GS3 customers, I read somewhere that clearing the cache + data + selecting Force Stop in the Google Services Framework app [settings>applications manager>all] before checking the device software update status [settings>about phone>software update>check new] would force available OTA updates to the device; however, after repeated attempts, I've been unsuccessful achieving that objective. In fact, after doing all that AND removing both the battery + sim card for 30-60 seconds, the date/time stamp in the update status continues to read the most recent status check.
Though I've seen several claims of success doing this on different devices, has anyone else in the VZW Community tried this and has gotten a successful 'force update' on their GS3?

No, that will not force an update, especially one that does not exist.

    Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?

    1. turn off sync - you can do just for google calendar [ this is faulty one ]
    2.go to settings->apps ->manage apps ->all
    3. find calendar storage -> clear cache -> clear
    4.find calendar sync -> clear
    5.reboot phone
    6. reeneble sync
    Simple and efective, problem gone - anyway it works for me
    Here is the link: http://www.google.pl/support/forum/p/Google%20Mobile/thread?tid=19a2949acbcf019f&hl=en
    It seems that this is one of the google apps. Some say its the Calendar sync, some say its GoogleTalk. Either ways, you can try the steps above for Calendar.
    Hope this helps!

  • Does clearing cache remove saved passwords and login?

    Does clearing cache remove saved passwords and login?
    Apparently my FF is slow as a bastard child because of my cache. However, I have loads of user/passwords saved and DO NOT wish to seem them go buh-bye.

  • UIX form need to clear cached data within session

    HELP! I have some UIX forms created with JHeadStart, thay work fine except but when the underling table data changes (from another user session or an update trigger from different table) the forms will NOT show refreshed data, unless I delete my browser session cookie. Is there one place to clear the cache, and force the data to be reloaded each time it’s displayed?

    In your struts diagram, rightclick the page and pick 'goto code'
    This will overwrite your data action. There overwrite the method you use, most likely onCommit(....)
    Use the appmodule to find your viewobjects there and clear the cache.

  • Cache data in Web Services

    Hi!
    I need to create a Web Service that can cache data in between multiple Web Service calls. If I'm not misstaken then stateful sessions keep data but still separate clients from each other. I need all clients to be able to access the same synchronized cached data. The data should be kept in memory for as long as the server is running. What kind of java technology should I use for that? Is it even possible to create? Using a database is not an option in this case.
    Thanks...

    Hello. I would strongly recommend looking at Apache's Java Caching System that is tailored for web applications. It's caching model is based on JSR 208 (Java Caching) and is probably the best solution out there. We have a similar requirement in our web service application that JCS helped accomplish.
    JCS allows both in-memory as well as caching to disk. The latter would require the data to implement java.io.Serializable or Externalizable interface.

    Hope this helps!

  • Does clearing cache erase my passwords saved on firefox

    I would like to clear my cache (never did) does it erase passwords saved by firefox
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    There is usually no need to clear the cache.
    Firefox will automatically remove items to make room for new items if the cache reaches the limit that you have set.
    Only in case of problems when pages do not load properly then you may need to clear the cache and in such cases you can still try to override the cache.
    You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press Ctrl + F5 or press Shift + Ctrl + R (Windows,Linux)
    * Press Shift + Cmd + R (MAC)

  • Youtube video cannot load. 1 out of 10 works for me. This started yesterday. I tried restarting, cleared cache. Ads work, video doesn't. Flash updated to 13.

    Maybe 1 out of 10 maybe youtube videos works. My favorites, including music videos were working just fine and now only a couple are working. I cleared my cache, restarted the computer, updated flash and none worked. Installed chrome, didn't work. I don't know what's wrong. Ads are working perfectly though...

    One way to test whether this is caused by a setting or might be external to Firefox is this three-minute experiment:
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Close all Firefox windows, then start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button and give it a name like TEST. For best results, skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    You can check the Add-ons page to ensure that extensions are disabled. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    Click Extensions in the left column and you can review whatever you have.
    And then, finally, do videos play in the new profile?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button on TEST. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • Did safari come without clear cache in the iOS 5?

    HI, I just  upgrade my ipad2 with its 5. But can't  find clear cache in safari...is it the latest update?

    Rachel65-
    Is the Cache the same as History?
    I found two ways to delete History.  One is to run Safari, click on the Bookmarks icon and select History.  Clear History is listed to the right of the History title.
    The other is using Settings.  Go to Settings-Safari-Clear History.  There is also an option to Clear Cookies and Data.

  • How do I clear Navigation bar? Under Tools "clear private date" does not bring up a dialog box.

    I'm trying to clear the navigation bar. Where I type in the web address "www.somethingsomething.com"... The list under there is too long. Using the Tools pull down menu and selecting "clear private data" does nothing. No box pops up. Under options, I've done everything to clear out the history. Everything remains. Any help? Thanks.

    Ok, I put a check in the box "Ask me before clearing private data"... now a box does pop up... Items checked are "browsing history, cache cookies, offline website data and authenticated sessions". Item not checked "saved passwords". Items listed but in light gray and unable to put a check "download history, saved form & search history." I hit the "clear private data now" option, nothing happens, except that box goes away. I click on the little down arrow on the navigation bar, and all the things are still there. I'm beyond dumbfounded why! Help please. Thank you.

  • Firefox says Google Services is Secure Connection Failed (sec_error_inadequate_key_usage). It does not give me an option to load the page anyway.

    Detailed error message is below shown :
    Secure Connection Failed
    mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate does not come from a trusted source. (Error code: sec_error_inadequate_key_usage)
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
    Try again
    I am using Windows 7 ultimate and I have Kaspersky Anti virus 2013 for internet security.
    I am using Firefox version 30.0.
    I have tried opening google services with different profiles(guest, administrator,standard user) but each time the same error messages are displayed and google services can not open.
    Is this problem is created because of missing authorities certificates? I am using firefox on another computer but it has more authorities certificates than this computer with error message. In other computer google(search, mail, maps etc.) services are working correctly.

    It may be Kaspersky intercepting your secure connection to Gmail.
    Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled to verify if this is the case.
    Do you see this problem with other secure sites too?

  • Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

    Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies. I even uninstalled and re-installed IE 11. It is still doing it.  I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
    Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2.  Then when you click on it the next error message says:  PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
    Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
    As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI.  Any ideas?

  • Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data
