One X+ keeps on getting "teased" for Android update

[david.karr]

I have an HTC One X+ with AT&T. It's on Android 4.1.1. A few weeks ago, about the time that I heard that there was an Android update for this phone, I started to see messages in the center of the home screen saying variations of "There is a software update". In none of these cases have I been able to complete this to receive the update. I've started to make sure I'm in wifi when I'm at home. The last two times I've seen this, it just shows up as a black bar in the middle of the home screen saying "Software Update", with no buttons or other information. This happened again this morning. I've tried numerous times to go into "AT&T software update" in settings and click "check for updates", but I've never seen that button do anything.

They announced that it would come soon. It might just be a bug.

I downloaded the update manually (on my PC from HTC website) and got an error on install. I chatted with HTC Tech Support and the update has a bug with no fix in sight. Don't hold your breath

I guess that's consistent with the answer I got from my own HTC support chat. We couldn't figure out why the OTA wasn't downloading, but he didn't recommend the direct download, as that apparently wasn't working properly. I got the impression it was a problem with the download process itself, not specifically with the update. I guess I'll ignore the update notices for a while.

it downloaded fine, and started to install, and then it failed. Now HTC has taken down the file off the website.
