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 put another one in and it will update haven't tried that one yet.

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.
My Pixel 7 has got the December update and that was the latest update, its also funny that is when i purchased my phone from T-Mobile. Seems that T-Mobile is slow to the punch. I will keep things updated come the 15th as i am a little skeptical also!
I'm dubious about the 15th. Many have not even got the Dec 22 update yet. Consulta
https://community.t-mobile.com/android-9/pixel-6-pro-december-2022-update-48399Just got off a chat with the rep around an hour ago and he said to wait until the 15 and if i didn’t get it by then let them know.
No problem. I've been following closely eagerly awaiting, supposedly the fingerprint sensor fixes are actually working pretty well and boy I could use that lol.
Was actually just getting ready to make my own t mobile forum post when I came across yours. Hopefully a t mobile rep responds, a little info on why we're so late to the party with a security update would be nice.
That's what I suspected , would have thought Verizon would have been the culprits as they are always slow to the game. Thanks for the info!
It seems to be isolated to t mobile. If you check Reddit no t mobile or it's smaller carrier phones have gotten the update. In my home I have a 7 pro, 7 and 6 pro all t mobile. No sign of the January update, meanwhile on every other device it's been out over a week.
That's good to know as i have had a few Pixels but they were unlocked which mightdifference be the difference.
My 6 hasn't received it either but it seems like every once in a while it's a week late.
That’s true but I have heard that its a carrier issue as I am new to T-Mobile.

The update has been released by Google for the pixel lineup.
Most updates are a staggered release, meaning not everyone will get it at the same time. Google might have released the update but that doesn't mean it has been released to everyone.
