Yeah, this is a T-mobile specific thing. Generally we get the OTA within a day of general release also.

I'm on an unlocked phone. I haven't gotten an update. Normally it's Day 1 updates monthly.

Edit: Verizon MVNO

On a T-mobile MVNO here, and still on December's update. This articles puts the blame on T-Mobile trying to get carrier aggregation working on the Pixel 6 and 7.

Agreed on 'not a good look', the lack of communication is terrible in this day and age. You'd think Google would take it as a chance to sort WiFi to cell handoff sorted and brag about it.

And also agree that I'm not worried enough to sideload.

I hear there is a March patch with important security updates, but my P6 on T-mobile doesn't seem to be able to get it OTA.

Supposedly the March update is late across the board for all Pixel devices/carriers. I guess this update also unifies things for people on the beta track, too.

OTA files are available now. My phone didn't see any updates via the update button, so going this route. It's like 10x faster anyway.

I like that when you pull down the top shade it shows the date/time/details/etc.
Hopefully they expand upon that concept and will eventually allow you to quickly open the clock and calendar that way.
One of these days there will be a new Nova Launcher, too...maybe. The last beta came out more than 6 months ago. At this point I'm wondering if the new owners have abandoned it.
