"network connection error"

I just got the exact same error today, and I am not running anything, phone is stock, and no running widgets either, everything shut off except for 3g too. Traded in my crappy Blackberry Bold that I exchanged 3 times for the exact same issue of the radio failing for this, now my 30 days are up. I am not happy anymore since now I am stuck with this phone :(
 
Well I think I found the cause of the error, its the feeds and update widget, I get the connection error and find the widget has old feeds on it, I then update it and it takes a while and fails and the connection error pops up. I refresh it again and it then populates the latest updates. Now I wait 30 minute based on my refresh rate and the error appears again I go back to the widget and it is not updated i refresh 2x and the error is gone wait 30 min and it happens again. I appears the widget is not able to get a good connection, now for a fix.

Every day this week, I have been getting the network connection error. The last thing I do to the phone in the evening is plug it in and set the alarm. The next morning when I turn the alarm off, the first thing I see is the network connection error. I called Sprint tech support yesterday and explained what was going on. They reset the data services on the phone, but a couple of hours later, the network connection error message comes back. This time, I have to press retry at least four times in a row before the message goes away. Today, I went to a Sprint store and talked to them about this. The associate at the Sprint store claims that this error will go away when the 2.2 update comes out, whenever that might be. If that is the case, I don't understand why Sprint and Samsung are taking so long to get the update out.
 
If this was a software issue wouldn't it be a problem for everyone. I have NEVER seen this error on my epic.
 
Anyone else think this is a problem with Twitter? I removed the syncing from my Twitter account entirely, and I haven't had any problems since.
 
I have never seen the problem but don't use twitter or facebook. (no use for social networking). So that very well may be the culprit.

This error cropped up for me too and going off JihadJoe, I removed my Twitter account from my phone and then added it back. Was able to update without a network error.
 
I have gotten this error daily for quite a while at this point. Sprint did some resets and refreshes, has not fixed the problem, at all.
 
When I first bought this phone (2 weeks ago), I was visiting my boyfriend in NY for the week and didn't have a problem with anything. Now that I am back home in PA, everytime I wake my phone up, I get the "Network Connection Error". Its driving me crazy! I have no idea how to fix this!

Does anyone know how to correct this issue or do we just have to wait for the new software update?
