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.

I'm thinking of getting a refirb pixel 6. The 6 pro is only about $70 more, but I'm not crazy about curved screens.

From where and for how much?

Right now, the Pixel 6a is $299 from Google direct and you have a brand new phone with a brand new battery that performs almost identically to the P6.

the 6 from ebay for $230: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255889634522?epid=8059143995&hash=item3b9435f4da:g:1P0AAOSw-zVjoyPp&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAA4Eo9us57lBBnMkOJLZYLqd5DqpsxqhU4RnYcb2Mwyl60+P+zldE1IO/XItgQ6SEsMhuhQPxyBuRLNheRT+VOqy/OV6xm+GaiA2QvK/78x9ZyakMj0R+Hgn9d1j2W861bZ4ZfUnptw85Jk+nmy1w2cEENiE15vEbtdzQWwJjbq5VLcx6gb4tW5udAeYpWAugkBVL+yHHNxEnLgtLZhiw/NWmcDeFfjmUWfUFLKTgX2Oqo0rp/+CDcNkuRQDKuBQXf4G7QbCP3vb8Y9enll4BB1hdi5TlHoViKWA5DhxorZjGy|tkp:Bk9SR_D27vPgYQ&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=1000|1500|2010

it has a 1 year warranty. amazon renewed also has it for the same price but no warranty. good point about the battery. I saw the specs of the 6a and not sure if I want a smaller screen and less ram though than my current phone which is a oneplus 7t. oneplus can't figure out how to get android 12 working on this device. they released the update then pulled it cause it was so buggy. will be my last oneplus.

edit: I thought the 6a had 90hz refresh rate, I guess to get that you have to do some mod. no way I'll get that. $300 for a phone with a 60hz refresh rate is silly. my oneplus 7t sells for $150 used and has a 90hz
