Re: June Pixel security update delayed
Even though the update comes from Google. Att tmo and Verizon can say no. It's always been like this. The last time tmo had a delay.it wa also for a big feature drop. Just like now.I'm thinking tmo is short staffed and it just takes longer.4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update
Plus the silence speaks volumes. If Tmobile was protecting us or its network. You would think there would be a official response."Hey our Tmo engineers found a issue with E911. Expect a slight delay while we work with google" Or "We noticed that your not getting your updates. Were working with google to get to the bottom of this" Something, anything its just silence.11Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update

"The updates might be held at t mobile request but it's title that does the updates" So if t mobile makes Google block it, we still call it a Google issue? Nah seriously all you guys defending this sound paid. Just making up weird reasons to take the blame off t mobile when nobody is asking for that. Nobody in this thread who's actually trying to get to a fix for their problem cares to sit here listening to randoms defend t mobile and not contribute. So again, please, to everyone, if you are just here to try to get people not to blame t mobile for what they're doing just save it. We don't care. Nobody cares. Y'all are just disrupting this forum coming in to defend a giant corporation for no reason when nobody asked. It's weird and annoying. I agree but this is a tmo forum. So we should only expect some defending of tmo. I have been with tmo since 2003. Back when bring your own phone was something you had to ask about in the store. Just to get special pricing. Tmo is the better of the 3 by far. But I'm 100 percent sure this block is at tmo request. And tmo requested it as the december update was going out. That's why some are stuck on november. So it couldn't be because of the supposed bluetooth bug. That didn't pop up until the January update. If this was a issue with network interference or e911 incompatibility. We would see bug issues on the android developer site. It would be a work in process to get it fixed. Its quite on the android developers forum. Just unrelated bug discussions in progres for february update So that only leaves something behind the scenes. Something tmo and google are hashing it out. Its got to be something that the twocant 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.3Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update

You'll either have to insert a different sim or factory reset with no sim.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update

Well technically they don't block it. They send a request to Google. To stop the update to phones on the network.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update
Both my wife and I are on the January update.after forcing it. Pixel 6a and 7. No issues with Bluetooth. Android auto is fine Ford pickup and Honda. And Anker headphones and Anker sound bar. Tmobile blocked the updates while the December update was going out that's why some are stuck on November. The Bluetooth issue if there is one. Didn't pop up until the January update . This has something either to do with network interference, E911 problems or tmobile wants something taken out? 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?? But one thing I remember in all my calls and chats up the support ladder. Was 1. Please use are visual voicemail app. 2. We don't support the built in Visual voicemail. Even on the phones they sell in-store. 3 top tech support told me that it was a huge issue and a head ache for them. Trying to figure out why it worked for some but not others? So maybe tmo is asking for it to be removed? Carriers do have power. Forcing the January update on my phone with a att sim. I noticed that the option to force the phone to stay on 4g was missing under network options. I googled it. And apparently this is something that att was able to force Google to follow. Also att blocked visual voicemail for years on Nexus and pixel phones. It wasn't until I believe the 6 that they finally allowed it to work officially. Also RCS texting Att was one of the last two allow it. So carriers do have more control then we think. 5Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update
I sure hope tmobile isn't doing it for greedy purposes. Like they don't like visual voicemail built in. Or hold for me or clear calling. I'm %100 sure when we do get a update. It's going to be a specific build for tmobile, fi, mint. If you go and look at the Android release list for Nexus and pixel phones. You'll see the first build is usually for all providers. Then at the end of the version. You'll see it branched out at some point. With carrier specific builds. But I never seen it do this. Usually they release all the builds at the same time.9Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update

So my guess now is that it's a Google issue as they tried to connect me to Google and they were closed. Must have MLK day off so really nothing more to add to the story! The updates come from Google. So tmobile doesn't need it. From what I have read. Google doesn't waite for approval each month. But they do allow carriers to request to block the update. Google won't send it to phones on that network. But I'm pretty sure Google wants a good reason. Like it causes issues with e911. Or some other network interference issue. But you can see that the update was blocked right after the December update. That's why some people on TMobile are still on the November update. Also the update button was never really broken. It would still check for updates. But would only see the update. If your device was eligible. Google always released the update over a few weeks in batches. So if your device wasn't in the batch for the day. Your check now button wouldn't see it. And until either Google or tmobile makes a statement. We won't know anything.4Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Pixel 7 Security Update
I factory reset my wife's pixel 6a with out a sim. It updated and is on the January release. That was 1/14. everything looks good. Lte, 5g, 5g uc. And visual voicemail are all working fine. Bluetooth works fine. I'm holding off on my pixel 7. As I just did a factory reset coming from Android 13 beta to standard release.2Visto0likes0Comentarios
