To check for updates immediately go to Settings, select Apps, then scroll to the "All" tab. Search for "htcdm", and press clear data.

As much as I love Android, you have to admit Apple does updates way better. Android is an endless update cycle, you are always behind. No sooner than you get your update (assuming you do) Google releases another one.
I highly doubt they care about the updates. It's time, manpower and wages for an update to a phone people already have. What are you going to do? Just walk away and get a new phone somewhere else? That isn't remotely cheap or practical.
Yes. I couldn't see it at first. I turned off Bluetooth and Mobile Data and that created enough room at the top of the screen to see the download icon. I'll just be patient and wait for it to finish.Is there a notification indicating it's downloading?
AT&T ought to care about keeping their customers happy, or they could decide to go with another carrier. It's easy and relatively inexpensive to unlock an HTC phone to work on T-Mobile or Ptel. You don't even need to unlock it to use H2O or one of the other AT&T MVNO's.
I'm using H2O and I'm very happy with them.
Oh I understand the process. And, I know it has to a lot with how Android is open vs closed like iOS, and the many different manufacturers that use Android. But, I think Google needs to exercise more control over the update process. Do the carries each have their own customized version of iOS? Do they get to add a bunch of crap no one wants? Do they have the final say if their phones get updated at all? I agree it's on AT&T, however, HTC & Google are not completely without fault.
Edit: To HTC's credit they have moved a lot of their supporting apps to the Play store. That's a good start.

Most people don't care about phone updates unless they have an issue with their phone
But we're talking about people who DO CARE about updates.
That's what this thread is about!
I could go on and on about the stupidity of people who buy a phone on contract, but that's a topic for another thread.
Other then that iOS is not different on an AT&T phone then it is on a Sprint phone. I think you they may have some things like the basic MyAT&T app on there, but that is treated like any other application and it just loaded on their by Apple. Not 100% sure about that one, I've never tinkered with a carrier locked/branded iPhone.
The dozen or so people in this thread don't mean anything to AT&T in the long run
With the update, facial recognition to unlock the screen, is no longer an option.
