This started after I finished beta testing oneui 6 (November) December rolls around monthly update comes out tried updating (your up to date) message appears after manually checking repeatedly. Life goes on I forget about it then January rolls around and same thing is happening, no January update for my phone. I decided to try again without a SIM card restart my phone hit update. December update come thru. I let it install and startup again. Then the January update comes thru after hitting update. Was hoping I didn't need to do that for February but it happened again. Just today pulled my sim card repeat everything I did for the previous updates. Makes me wonder why T-Mobile is blocking unlocked updates to my phone. I don't have any other devices thru them for financing. This is just weird to me.

Wow I haven't seen anything online or thru the T-Mobile forums either. Sorry if that happened to you in particular..are you using a branded phone or unlocked? Mine is factory unlocked locked.

Had to give an April security update on my phone situation. So I went thru Samsung care+ got an exchange minus the deductible for it. $100 USD. Phone has been great. So the April update has been released this AM with my SIM card installed no update showed up. At work I decided to take my SIM out and try updating it on WiFi lol and behold it pulled the update no problem. Either T-Mobile thinks my phone is a branded device or it's just straight blocking updates from coming thru while their sim is installed 1712935060039.jpg1712935100739.jpg
