My Pixel 7 will not receive the January 2023 security update . Tried doing it manually and no luck, have heard it's a T-Mobile issue but that's just hearsay. Heard you can just pull your sim out and...

So that only leaves something behind the scenes. Something tmo and google are hashing it out. Its got to be something that the two cant agree on. I highly suspect something feature related. I keep saying I think tmo wants something removed or blocked?
We're just going to have to wait it out. Once we do get a update. I'm pretty sure it will be a specific android build for tmo. We can pick it apart then and look for whats different.
- It’s more likely the time necessary to modify and fully test code, which is significant,
- It won’t be a specific T-Mo build for factory unlocked phones (like mine).
- It’s more likely a functional issue specific to the T-Mo network than something T-Mo wants removed or blocked.

I have a feeling it has to do with visual voicemail. I had lots of issues with this. It always worked fine going all the way back to my Nexus 6. It only stopped when upgrading to the pixel 7. I had to call in many times. To get it to work they finally had to provision my account to a older plan??

I forced the January update to my Pixel 7 as well yesterday (see above). Experience thus far:
- No issues with Bluetooth (Volvo, Mazda, Android Auto, office access, smart watch, ear buds, etc.)
- Visual Voicemail (T-Mobile app) has stopped syncing after the update. Last sync is from Monday January 16 before I forced the update. I uninstalled the app and will try to use the Google visual voicemail service. Not that important for me (I get very few voicemails).
