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.

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
