Default [Q] Anyone know how to reset the AT&T Software update counter?

I decided to check for any software updates this morning and to my surprise, it said that there were updates available but, the servers were busy. I then went about my business and decided to check again a few minutes ago and it now says that my current software is up to date and I can check again tomorrow. The thing is, I was never given notification that a software update was downloaded or installed.
Does anyone know how to reset the time stamp so that I can run the software update checker again? I would like to determine if this was just an error on AT&T's servers or if there really is an update available for my phone.
Thanks,
-Sharples

Likely just a glitch or just an error communicating with the server. AFAIK, there are no AT&T updates.

No updates yet. But if you really want to reset the counter go into Menu > Settings > Applications and erase the data for AT&T Software Update.

Or, I believe just changing the date to one day later will work as well (it did on the Cappy anyway).

Thanks guys for the quick response! I did reset the counter as mentioned and indeed, it was a glitch on At&T's side.

Yep, I got the same thing...

I've been searching for an answer for a while actually so maybe resurrecting this thread will bring an answer.
