Android 14 OTA Missing
Android 14 was released today Oct 4 23 and it seems to be missing on my phone Pixel 7. Is this a T-Mobile issue again or what? Seems like we went through this a while back and assumed everything was fixed that caused the issue. Now it seemed to raise its ugly head again. You would think Tmo and Google could get their stuff together!
I rebooted after I put the Sim in. These updates are usually rolled out in waves so not to overload the servers.
This is the first year since I had a pixel phone I didn't test the Beta version.
So my Pixel 7 bought from Google still hasn't received the update but my Pixel 6 bought from Tmobile is downloading it now.
So I guess that means Tmobile is not blocking the update.
I didn't get the update either, so ended up sideloading the OTA file to upgrade it manually. One irritating thing I found. After upgrading all the apps and rebooting (cold), when I go into Security and Privacy, it says 'Looks good (see alert) and says there may be updates for your device. When I check for an update, it keeps prompting a Google Play system update. Doesn't matter HOW many times you install that, it will STILL prompt you again. I've deleted the cache and reinstalled. Not sure who's issue this is. Using a Pixel 7.

should be semi easy to figure out..you sideloaded it...where did it come from? either it didnt load fully or theres a bug in that OTA you did.
I got the OTA images from *developer. android. com* Google ' OTA images for Google Pixel'. Turns out it is a bug in the code. Found it in the reported issues list. Thanks for the response.
lol had a feeling.
it was mentioned earlier that the delay might be due to the 8 about to come out (havent looked so not sure if the 8 comes with Android 14 or 15) so the delay might be waiting for the 8 to kick but i have a feeling its the same as the last few releases and issues were found in the TMO variant of it. heck you side loaded and it already started with a few bugs. if TMO isnt signing off on it being ready to be kicked out it wont kick out.
per a couple other posters in another Android 14/Pixel 7 thread they just started receiving the update.
with that being said though..for those that run and start hammering that update button keep in mind that as all updates are..theyre kicked out in waves..so a smaller group will get it..then a larger group of phones..then so on and then they’ll leter rip once they see phones arent junking up with issues.
I still have not received my android update pixel 7pro
Octubre 29
If you have another carrier Sim, take yours out and insert and manually update.
The full OTA will be released in December, not sure of the day, but it is in December. Nothing to worry about, just wait until then. Then the Beta program will just turn off.
