Yep I had flawless on time, all the time updates on my unlocked pixel 1 with AT&T through it's whole life. But I only buy unlocked phones. This does make me think twice about ever possibly bringing a Samsung phone to AT&T though :eek:
If you get Samsung go unlock version .
Att no issues either on pixels, Samsung go unlock lol.

I Haven't been able to update any of my phones for 4 years. I have to upgrade! My note 20 ultra is still on Android 10, 2.5 ui, and security patch September. No one at AT&T knows how to fix it and tries to blame Samsung, etc.

Flash to the unlocked firmware that way you never have to worry about OTA updates

So how would flashing the unlocked firmware affect my being on AT&T? I originally bought my phone from Samsung but bought the AT&T model because I thought I had to in order to use AT&T as a carrier? What would actually change on my phone?

I know that has nothing to do with my warranty since my phone came direct from Samsung. So this will mean I no longer have to wait for AT&T to release their version of the firmware? Will it make all of the AT&T bloatware crap go away?
