Pixel 7 Security Update

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.

    1. It’s more likely the time necessary to modify and fully test code, which is significant,
    2. It won’t be a specific T-Mo build for factory unlocked phones (like mine).
    3. It’s more likely a functional issue specific to the T-Mo network than something T-Mo wants removed or blocked.

T-Mobile does not appear to be holding up the update. I have an unlocked Pixel 6a purchased from Google, not T-Mobile. I removed my T-Mobile SIM, restarted the phone on Wi-Fi, and it still would not update. Thus, it's more likely that Google has paused updates, probably because of issues that have arisen.

Buddy everyone is able to pull the t mobile sim card and install one from another carrier (a step you seem to have skipped) and factory reset the phone (another step you seem to have skipped) and it updates lol. This also effects all phones connected to t mobile and connected networks so the fact that your phone is purchased straight from Google means nothing. They also didn't have a pause in the betas or pull the update for any other carrier worldwide, there's also nobody on other carriers who can't get the December update. 

T mobile did hold it up. Why do people keep coming to defend T mobile. Google doesn't pull updates from a single carrier. If Google pulls it, it's pulled for everyone. If it's only happening on one carrier, it's the carrier.
