Re: June Pixel security update delayed
Untrue, and we've been through this before. Absolutely proven by pulling the tmo sim and putting on another carrier's. I can't do that. Too bad for the reddit blackout or it would be all over that. Yes, you can sideload it using adb. No, I don't want to. I can wait.8Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update

If you don't want to wait they even suggest side loading it and reason why they give the OTA file you can download. If what you saying is true then if it's unlocked just take the sim out and it should hit your device on wifi. nickz wrote: tidbits wrote: It's a staggered release for ALL devices. Doesn't matter the carrier involved when it boils down to the Pixel devices. It's not like the Nexus 6 and older devices. initially there will be a fork specific to a carrier for bug fixes which may affect other devicesbut it'll eventually come down to 1 source code when they find a better fix or see the fix won't break other devices. If you look at the factory images for an example. I have a 7 from Google and I don't hVe the January update and I am not bothered by it as I understand it's a staggered release. If I really wanted to I can install the OTA by side loading. Not true. Pixels can get the update OTA on demand as soon as it's released by Google as long as it's not being blocked by the carrier. I've had Pixels for years and this has always been the case. It's pretty clear from the discussions going on elsewhere that tmo has a problem with this build and is blocking the update. That being said, my P7 is on the December update and I'm fine with it staying that way until they work out whatever's wrong. If you're not, you can sideload the OTA from Google's site at your own risk. I'd rather not because I kinda need my phone to not be borked right now. As have I. Apparently you don't recall the last update that Google pulled last year. Apparently you don't recall that the "check for updates" button was broken for a number of Android releases and when they finally fixed it we could trigger an OTA download on demand instead of waiting for the "staged rollout" to notify us, the way it was designed to work. Being able to get the OTA on the day of release has always been a feature of Pixels. And I can't remove the SIM because it's an eSim. But like I said, I can wait until whatever is holding it up is no longer holding it up.5Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update
