Re: Pixel 7 Security Update
I have a Pixel 7 bought directly from the Google Store (unlocked). I am using it on the T-Mobile network with an eSIM. Like many others on T-Mobile, I had not yet received the January 2023 update (tried to force the OTA update again this morning using the 'Check for update' button) and was stuck on the December 5 2022 update. I also have a physical SIM in my phone from a provider in Europe, which I use when traveling. Most of the time this physical SIM is deactivated. I did the following: Activated the European SIM and waited until it established a roaming connection to a local US mobile network (I think it even connected to the T-Mobile network) Deactivated the T-Mobile eSIM and waited a couple of minutes to ensure the deactivation was complete (I did NOT erase the eSIM) Went to System Update in settings and used the 'Check for update' button to see if the update would load Immediately the January security update started downloading and installing. It automatically paused (since I was using the phone) and I hit the 'Resume' button to continue the update. After about 2 hours the installation process finished (I have a lot of installed apps, about 250, so the optimization takes forever) Rebooted the phone and confirmed that under System Update the Android security update was showing as January 5 2023 Under SIMs I reactivated the T-Mobile eSIM and deactivated the physical SIM, T-Mobile connection appears to work fine, I am connected to 5G and I am receiving text messages My conclusion is that there is a relationship between being connected to T-Mobile and not getting the January 5 2023 update. I cannot say if this is caused by T-Mobile or Google.6Visto2likes0Comentarios
