Keep calling and asking. Maybe one time you'll get lucky and get someone who actually knows something.

 

Been testing an S3. Just keep it on 3G and tell it to keep trying over and over.... it will eventually get it done. Seems like it won't work on any other connection and needs about 30 tries.

 

Same issue here. After getting the OTA 4.3 update the phone was slightly sluggish so I did a factory reset and now can't download the bloatware update to get it over with. Tried wifi and 3G several times and get the error message within 2 seconds. Also updated profile and everything else in that menu.

I disabled notifications for mobileID just so it wouldn't annoy me, but I think it's causing sluggishness in the background even after the factory reset, so I want it to just do it already.

I should just root and freeze the bloat, but I'm not sure which rom is closest to stock and doesn't have any issues.

I now honestly wish the Moto G was available a couple months ago when I bought the s3. I like it, I just hate unnecessary things like this that are such time wasters.

 

I am in the same boat, this damn thing keeps popping up no mater what I do. it has been doing this out of the box. Only 3 days old

My phone is still running 4.1.2, i was hoping it would have the 4.3 update already. And no mater what i try it will not find the OTA update.

 

A temporary fix until Virgin gets their s##t together is to clear data on mobileid. It'll come back after a reboot, but at least it won't keep attempting a download in the background literally every minute of the day.

 

When did you first buy the phone? And also was the phone you got refurbed or new? Thanks.

 

Dunno if this is a good sign, but restarted last night and the error message hasn't returned. Could be an anomaly since I don't notice any of the Virgin mobile wallpaper and other extra crap that is usually downloaded with previous mobileid updates I've had.

 

Well this is crap. I got the 4.3 update over night one night. The next day the Mobile ID app finally starts to work. It has messed up the Virgin Mobile apps like my account. And to top it of it installed as bunch of boost mobile stuff like a wallpaper and apps.

I'm going to be on the phone with them trying to figure out WTF is going on.

 

So I'm having an issue with this default as well. Got my s3 about a week ago, and was working great, except it said free activation kept failing. A few days after using my phone, i went to make a Samsung account just to get Rid of it up popping up at the top. As was getting stated, my phone went black, did a factory on its own erasing just about everything i had on it, and installed a bunch of crap. To make matters worse my 4glte stopped working.

I did a factory reset myself and have thus been stopping the default VM configuration manually, but it's only a matter of time before it gets through. What exactly is in it, is any of it useful or important, and if not can the useless programs be deleted or prevented altogether? Here's hoping someone who reads this can help me. Thanks
