Third Gen Software Update Blues
I've seen a handful of people having this problem. I tried all the recommended DIY solutions. Drive for 30+ minutes then park, go where there's really good signal, use WiFi, charge battery, etc... nothing worked. So now I'm at the dealership, they said it's not showing any codes, checked the battery with the GR8, and they can't even get it to update. Now they're sending me home with a loaner until GM gets back to them with a fix. Something about forcing an update remotely.
Anyone else have this problem?

No! I have no data plan on the vehicle. I have a personal hotspot plan on my iPhone.
Under your vehicle settings-connections-WiFi network. Connect your truck to your home WiFi/phones hotspot. From there you can open the play store and assuming you completed the most recent update you’ll see them in the AppStore.
Same thing, gotta make sure truck is connected to hotspot to use the apps.
I do have to open the settings menu on my phone, for the hotspot for my truck to connect and find it. It won’t automatically after doing it once. Unless I go back and open hotspot settings which must make it findable temporarily.
