I have been waiting for ever for the 8.1 update, finally yesterday there was an update available and I thought that was it.

However it turned out to be a 8.0xxxx something update that stated it will make it easier to update to 8.1.

Ever since the update I can't power off the phone, I hold the power button, the screen comes up and says "slide down to power off", I do that, I get the "goodbye" message, it goes black then buzzes and fires right back up again.

Oh, also when I finished installing the update it said it was all done and I could check for new updates or it would do it automatically in the future. Of course I tried to check for a new update hoping 8.1 download would show up but now I get a message saying "unable to check for updates at this time (80072ee2)"

Any ideas on these issues?

First things first I'd try to do a soft reset. This is a bit like a factory reset but you'll keep all your personal data. Hold down the Volume down and Power button simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds or until you feel a vibration. Your phone should restart and hopefully it will solve your issue.
