My friend's N4 got the go ahead for the 4.4. update last night. Using her neighbor's free wifi connection, she started downloading 4.4 update, but as it got towards the end, it stopped. Now when she clicks on the button to "retry" the download, nothing happens. She's tried using her data connection, other wifi connections, and nothing, even after restarting her phone a few times. Anyone come across this? Seems like the download is stuck or something. Other than either doing a factory reset, sideloading the update, or worst case, forcing the update via google services framework, any advice on what the issue could be?

Thanks!

[UPDATE] - came across a thread on Reddit and someone who had the same issue simply set the date on the phone to one month ahead and it restarted the download process. Told my friend to do this and it seems to be working. Whew!
