June Pixel security update delayed

I'm content to wait but not so happy with my modem as sometimes my calls will not go through and have to dial more than one time, very frustrating.

I sideloaded it yesterday and am not seeing this slowdown. Running great for over 24 hours. Unlocked P7a bought from Google, using T-mobile network.

you change the car to work on the road..not the road to work with the car. fully on G to fix.

I'm afraid that's not a valid analogy. Wireless communications is extremely complex, both on the carrier side and on the device side.

Devices (esp. modems) are not perfect, and carriers have to make allowances for device imperfections.

Carriers (esp. T-Mo) have the challenge of juggling standards and frequencies, and refarming spectrum, so devices have to make allowances for carrier imperfections.

Hence it's quite possible that it's more practical for Google to patch its device to be compatible with T-Mobile than vice versa.

Regardless, my Pixel 6a is still happily on the May update, and I'm quite content to wait until the June update is rolled out. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

T-Mobile isn't going to do a thing. Think about it. Make potential major changes which will affect every device just for a single device update, or Google making the changes to make it not break on a network. Google has done it last time. They've also done it quite a few times for Verizon as well as other country networks. Other OEMs do the same for every region. Better to catch it now than later.

I wish I took screenshots before the update of speeds and reception. Right now I have to turn off the sim then turn it back on to get full reception again and back to my original speeds. After about 15 minutes it'll go back down. To about 1/4 to 1/2 and my speeds drop significantly. If someone has worse than what I have and this is in fact the reason they would not have reception. I reverted back to the May Factory Image and all is normal again. 

I've already sent logs to Google engineers. Note this doesn't happen in Android 14 beta thankfully. 

My cell service sucks right now as sometimes I have to redial a number because no service. Hopefully when they get the update right my service will be better.

Yeah. T-Mobile already have a bad reputation in regards to updates with Pixel phones. "If" they are preventing the update they should at least announce it and why. 

Google last delay said what the delay was.  It wasn’t because T-Mobile didn’t want to give the update…

Google did the same thing when Verizon didn’t get an update because of issues.  If it’s bad enough Google WILL fork the update and reintegrate it the next update.  It’s nothing new.

I have unlocked 7 and 7 Pro. One on Verizon and one on T-Mobile. 

I actually side loaded the update on both of them and I know why it was delayed. It's very obvious and even more obvious if you are in a low reception area. 

At my house I have strong signal and my speeds are 1500+Mbps. After update moderate to weak signal and 300+ mbps. I have to restart to get the signal back up and it'll only last about 15 minutes.
