Over the air update problems?

Hi there. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Twice now, when I've tried to update an app over the air (rather than through iTunes) my touch freezes up, forcing me to put it into recovery mode and restore the whole thing (VERY frustrating). Is this a common bug? Should I just avoid OTA updates entirely, or are these isolated problems?
Thanks!
Aaron

I've installed one application on my iPod touch via the App store and did not have an issue with it. I've updated two applications through the App store without issue as well. If it is an issue I may not have done enough OTA installations to come across it, or it might be an isolated incident with your iPod. Have you updated to 2.0.2 on the iPod? That update seemed to clear up a few Wi Fi issues I was experiencing.

    No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad. I have reset the network settings,  power off the iPad, trying static IP and nothing, it's unable to join my wifi network. anybody with the same issue?

    Great!  Thanks, this works.
    I have an old Linksys WRT54G in it I can select WPA Personal and AES as algorithm--it works for me (though maybe just changing to anything works!  but I will not try anything different since I have spent already so much time with this problem.)  Again, thanks for the solution Juan.

  • What happened to over the air updates

    am I the only one, or has over the air updates been changed to over WiFi updates? Not the same thing. Pretty inconvenient when you're somewhere without WiFi and want to update your phone.

    I always update via Wi-Fi so don't have any personal experience but did notice the following quote in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Some iOS software updates aren't available as over-the-air updates.

    Doing a restore will more than likely resolve the problem. Plug the phone into iTunes, select your phone under DEVICES, and press Restore. This will restore your phone to factory settings. Now, after the restore is complete, you have two options:
    1) Restore from Backup
    This will let you restore all of the content you had on your phone but may also restore the other person's notes and their ability to sync notes to your phone.
    2) Set Up as New iPhone
    Your data will not be restored, but you can always sync content back later as long as it is in iTunes. On the positive side, this would positively remove any setting that would allow someone else's notes to appear on your phone.
    You will be presented with these two options after the restore. I recommend restoring from a backup first so you won't lose your data, but if it doesn't solve the problem, proceed to restore as a new phone.

  • Over the Air update - Server Profile Settings

    Hi,
    I updated my N80 to V4 firmware with the over the air update services.
    Does anybody have the Server Profile Settings for this?

    Hi there....
    you can actually get the server profile to enable your phone to perform Over the Air Software Update by calling your Network Operator/Service Provider.

  • What happens during over-the-air update?

    What processes occur during over-the-air update of an app?
    This morning I checked for updates and there were 6 updates for apps on my phone. I selected one to install -- one that is listed as 0.3MB on the App Store. The new copy of the icon appeared, and the blue bar started moving. I presume that is the download to the iPhone taking place. Then is says "Installing..." I presume that is the actual installation of the updated app.
    But... It seems to take a looong time to install. I could install Adobe Creative Suite on my MacBook Pro faster than this 0.3MB app is installing on my iPhone.
    So what is it doing during all that time?

    It appears apps don't actually update, it just downloads the new version and then installs it, part of that is removing the old version. However its getting annoying now because then I have a different version in itunes and on the phone so when I sync it wants to transfer the file to itunes, I end up with 2 versions of the same app in itunes then because it seems to not delete the old one.

  • Over the air updates.

    When i try to do an OTU, i get a screen asking me for a user name and password. I think they are to do with the server settings, not sure though.
    I've tried my Ovi Store password and user name, but to no avail.
    I'm on T-Mobile and have a Nokia X6. Can anyone help with this problem.
    Many thanks.

    @mushroom67
    I think that you will find that this is a T-Mobile implementation issue and that creating profile manually using these settings won't in itself be sufficient unfortunately:
    Server Name   Nokia
    Server ID   Nokia
    Server password   firmupservpass
    Access point   [select your Wifi or Tmobile internet AP]

    tried to apply the IOS 7.0.2 update to my Iphone 4 running IOS 7 last night, the process failed and the device is in some type of Recovery Mode, when I try to restore using latest version of itunes it appears to download 1 item, then posts a message of 'iphone software update (processing file)' but does not ever appear to complete, please tell me how I can get this corrected, thank you!

  • Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

    I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

    Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

  • Is it just me, or do most of the upgrade problems (not bugs) happen when updating "over-the-air", rather than using a computer and iTunes ?

    I have used iTunes on a computer every time, and so far have had no problems like the ones we are seeing here.
    Just want to reiterate - I am not talking about iOS 7 bugs - but just performing the update(s)

    Absolutely!!  I've had no problems upgrading the iPhone using iTunes.  It also allows me to backup the iPhone's settings so I can recover them if something goes wrong in the upgrade process.  I have always upgraded using iTunes and would not do it any other way.
    My wife upgraded to iOS6 directly to her iPhone 4S and lost her contacts and other information, and had problems with wifi access, etc.  At the next iOS change, I did the upgrade on her phone through iTunes and had no problem.
    Even MacWorld reports that upgrading "over the air" directly on the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch can create instability in the OS.

    If the update is on the Nokia servers that does not mean it is ready and available to end users for the OTA update. While a Nokia Care Point could flash it for you that will also wipe the device.

    That is absolutely not true.
    An NSU update for the N96 at least is a 125MB download or thereabouts.
    V10.043 to V11.018 was about 3.5MB via FOTA, V11.018 to V11.101 was no more than a few hundred KB, and V11.101 to V12.043 was once again about 3MB.
    FOTA is far more reliable than NSU since there are fewer machines involved (the phone grabs the update directly from Nokia instead of having it buffered by a machine, a machine running one of the most notoriously unreliable operating systems ever created) and therefore fewer points of potential failure.
    As psychomania pointed out, there are cases of people bricking their phones with NSU daily on these forums. To date, we have see one case of a failed FOTA update. Draw your own conclusions.
    Like our resident psycho, I hope that FOTA becomes far more widespread in the future. It is much more reliable and quick.
    Message Edited by grschinon on 28-Dec-2008 04:50 PM
    although i tend to agree that FOTA should be safer, but i think we might be jumping to conclusions to early, as there are about 91 phones supported by NSU, most of which are updated by the conventional PC way, whereas there are very few that uses FOTA (i knew of 2 handsets), hence the relatively lower incidence of failures...

  • Over the air problem

    Hi,
    I have developed a game for midp phones (only tested on SE T610 at the moment).
    When I bluetooth the Jar and Jad to the T610 it works fine, in fact I dont even need to send the Jad.
    I submitted these two files to handango and activated my game for sale. Next I purchased and download it to see if it would work and it did not. I was sent a text message with a link which I followed. The phone proceeded to say: connecting... downloading Puzzle Cube.... then after only one or two seconds I got the message 'Inavalid Application'.
    I now learn that 'over the air' you need the Jad. This is the one I had uploaded:
    MIDlet-1: Puzzle Cube, Puzzle Cube.png, PuzzleCube
    MIDlet-Jar-Size: 59435
    MIDlet-Jar-URL: Puzzle Cube.jar
    MIDlet-Name: Puzzle Cube
    MIDlet-Vendor: Sony Ericsson
    MIDlet-Version: 1.0
    After studying it I realise that is refering to Puzzle Cube.png which does not exist.
    Could this be the cause of the problem and if so would I be right to just remove the reference like the following?
    MIDlet-1: Puzzle Cube, PuzzleCube
    MIDlet-Jar-Size: 59435
    MIDlet-Jar-URL: Puzzle Cube.jar
    MIDlet-Name: Puzzle Cube
    MIDlet-Vendor: Sony Ericsson
    MIDlet-Version: 1.0
    In fact do I need the 'MIDlet-1: Puzzle Cube, PuzzleCube' line at all? What does it do?
    Any help would greatly appreciated,
    Thanks a lot,
    Jim

    yep. you need it, because this line defines which classes (or midlets) are part of this MIDlet suite. If you dont have this line, you wont be able to launch anything.
    If this png does not exist, you have to change the line to this:
    MIDlet-1: Puzzle Cube,,PuzzleCube
    First is the name displayed on the phone, second the icon and third the appropriate class to execute.

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.
