Upgrade assistant

I have a New Illusion and my FIRST Smartphone.

I had it connected to the Computer yesterday and it asked to download the upgrade assistant.

I now keep getting a notice that there is an upgrade available but when I click on the download tab I get a new screen and the download button is grayed out.  BUT I still get the notice that there is a upgrade available.

WHATS UP????

Congratulations on your new smartphone, Bud33!
In no time I promise you will get the hang of it, but don't worry about the upgrade message. I'm thinking you are getting the software update which is a common update with smartphones. This simply means that there is a software update that needs to be installed on your phone. The link below will tell you how to get it installed on your Illusion as well as let you know what the enhancements are.

Are you getting the upgrade message on the computer?

The message I get is on the computer and appears in the lower right hand corner. It states;"New software is available for Illusion (SCH-I110)To Upgrade a device, please connect it to your PC.And in this case, USB debug mode will be activated by upgrade tool."There are two check boxes. Upgrade Device now  or  Upgrade later. There is a program on my computer (I do not know where it came from) called;Verizon Wireless Software Utility Application for Android.It was Published by Samsung Electronics Co. LTD. Could this be the cause of the problem?

Interesting. You ask for people to delete your address in your email signature, but what you don't know is that you just exposed your email address to the rest of the world on this public forum. Please don't include the original email in your response when replying by email.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

It's a shame that you signed up with Verizon. My contract would have run out in Dec. But the representative said that I would have a good deal with Verizon if I stayed with them. I told her that I was looking else where. But she went over some numbers and said OK I will stay. SHE NEVER SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE A $$$90.00 CHARGE FOR AN UP GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!. I would not have resigned. I work at a Law School and will mention to every student, Lawyer and person that I come in contact with how Verizon lied!!!!!!! After this contract is up I am leaving Verizon FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! VERIZON YOU SHOULD HAVE A MEMBER OF YOUR MANAGEMENT TEAM CONTACT ME... Maybe a Lawyer... Ha, ha, ha... They can speak to all my friends that are Lawyers about the lie I was told.

Sincerely a very, very dissappointed phone user.

And this has to do with the topic how??????

To be honesst,since you brought it up, I have been with Verizon for about 10 years. I travel a lot and after trying a number of the other providers Verizon has better coverage by FAR> As an example, I live in metro Orlando and people that visit me have to go out in the driveway to get a signal with AT&T and T Mobile.   I sit in me easy chair and talk to whom ever I want.
