I had the exact same issue. Same messages on the screen, had WiFi but no internet connection, apps that require data didn’t work, etc.
I was on/off with Onstar a few days. They had finally escalated my issue to a higher level of tech support.
It was getting late in the evening & I told them I was done hanging on the line with them. They said they were going to continue to look into it & they would call me the next day to further troubleshoot the problem.
By midday the following day, my problem was gone & they never called me back. Haven’t had an issue since.

Going to the Dealer on Friday morning to have the software update done. 

Did they seem receptive to you knowing about the fix already and having the TSB #? I told my guy all about it and he’s like “I don’t need that, they will just see what it does and then see if there’s any TSB that describes your issue.” Um, there is and I’m holding it in front of your face.

I took mine in about a month ago and the service guy gave me a copy of the  PIT5793.  He said GM was working on a fix and that he would contact me when one was avaliable. He called me on Tuesday and scheduled me for Friday.

Went to the dealer this morning for software update. I was there for 40 minutes and was back on the road. The problem with the app and connection appears to be solved.  No more Connection Issue.

Mine is there now. Haven’t heard back yet. I basically had to convince them there was a TSB for it and they still didn’t seem to care what I had to say. Guess I will call.

Amazon app problem? I’m not exactly sure what that’s referring to, but whatever it is is not causing OnStar data usage to fail to load or preventing any GM app from downloading or preventing my app from connecting to my truck.

All those issues were resolved with the radio update described in the TSB.

So glad to hear that I am not alone in this. Just bought a $66,000 AT4 and can't even use the apps. I called OnStar and they said to take it to the dealer. Called again and got someone else who acknowledged this issue and said a fix is coming soon. So, nice to know I'm not alone, at least. Sounds like "coming soon" has been going on for a while now.  WTH

The fix came out last Tuesday. A few of us in this thread (myself included) have received the update at the dealer and it is now fixed.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
