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.
- 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.
One consistent theme is, no one has definitive, accurate knowledge. There is a lot of speculation and opinions, and of course, I have my own. I do not think T-Mobile and Google would inhibit an update simply for giggles and grins. What would be the benefit? Yes, you can get around it, and a beta build seems to work, but why would you? Could it be a security issue, a problem with T-Mobile's new 1900 MHz rollout; again no one knows. People seem to be so demanding. Of course, I myself like updates, but I actually appreciate an update held if there is a issue with it. My Pixel 7 Pro is operating just fine. If I would fault Google or T-Mobile, I think a generic statement should have been released. But I am not going to lose sleep over it. It will be known in good time. There is no reason not to be kind to everyone. As I mentioned in the beginning, it is all speculation. Relax and have a great day!
