Bug Description

System settings -> About phone -> Check for updates.
If you click the "Retry" button you briefly get a screen blink up which looks like it's about to start downloading, but then goes back to the previous screen with the retry button. The dialog has "download failed: cancelled" in it which is a bit alarming (and erroneous)

It would be a smoother experience if that dialog only appeared if there was actually an update to download.

See screenshot.

Agreed, the UI should show a spinner or activity indicator after clicking retry (and the page background should remain blank)
