Seems like the last to get it!

AT&T branded Note20 U on AT&T.

Still on ATH3 with August 1, 2020 Security patch.

Should I try to clear cache? Can't recall how or find steps.

Any other suggestions on how to tickle the system to update?
T Mobile unlocked. No update.

No tickles... "Patience" - AT&T is just agonizingly SLOW! I had really hoped it would be different with the new phone, being a brand new Flagship Product and all, but it appears NOT. The good news is, we're seeing AT&T Unlocked phones getting it a few days ago, so we shouldn't be much longer (He says hopefully)!

I am experiencing the same issues with 5G.
Was getting a strong 5G signal in my area. I just did the software update this morning and since then no 5G.
My barbershop is located right underneath a 4G/5G antenna. I usually would get over 100mb speeds there but today I barley got 20mb. Highly upset right now. (Sprint/T-Mobile)

I'm starting to wonder if MAYBE they're trying to actually PROTECT us from these larger issues[.] That would be nice[.] I'd rather wait than lose my 5G[.]
That's sometimes the case with carrier delays. On one of the Notes within the past few years, there was a firmware update to a new Android version that completely broke the compass until a subsequent update a month later. I was glad that T-Mobile refused to pass that along to us.

Usually, though, there seems to be no reason apart from a slow carrier process. I've been manually installing N986U1 updates as soon as they're online, and I haven't had any problems. I've been on the latest (ATI5) since Monday. (If the bootloader changes so I won't be able to revert, I usually wait a few days before updating to see if there are reports of widespread problems.)

I remember that Compass issue - can't remember if it was the very beginning of the Note 9's life or the end f the Note 8 cycle, but it was totally flukey!!!!

(Checked back - It was the Note 9, February, 2019 - a Major OneUI Update caused it!)
