June Verizon Update Removed Option to Select Preferred Network Type

[johnts]

I had my Pixel 7 on LTE prior to running to the update a few days ago. I wanted to change it back to 5G yesterday but it seems there is no longer an option to do so. From VZ's list of changes is this; 'Request to remove preferred network type menu option.'
Has anyone on this forum who has VZ noticed this change or am I the only one. The change makes no sense to me.

I just looked and the same thing. No choice. Interesting. Thank you, johnts!

Hmm strange they would change that

I always had mine on 5G, but I do see the option is now gone on my Pixel 7 Pro.

Is this a device from Verizon or from Google?

 

[kmf1]

My 7 Pro is from google but on Verizon

Samr boat. Unlocked phone purchased from Google on Verizon network. Now stuck on LTE. No menu option to change. Google support was beyond useless (suggested a reset).

I suggest you all direct your efforts at Verizon. They are almost certainly responsible for the change, not Google.

I've got the GStore model (GE2AE), on TMo, and the band-selection is still there. It's interesting just how many things have been introduced for carrier boot mods, on unlocked models.
It's certainly a VZW issue, but good luck sorting that, I bet a reset is the only easy recourse here...

Mine is back after the July update. Unlocked Pixel 7 on Total by Verizon.

Guess I'll see what happens when I run the July update. When I did the reset network connections, mine went from LTE to 5G. Battery life with the June update is bad.

I messaged Verizon on Saturday because I have the same issue. They told me that it is on Google's end and Verizon had no input on it. They created a ticket because my mom's 6a is stuck on LTE.

I have the July update but it's still missing.

I have the July update on Verizon Pixel 7 Pro and it's still missing for me too. I don't miss it because I always had mine on 5G anyway.

That's strange. Could be because my phone is unlocked?

I ran my update today and still no option to change the network.

Even after the Android 14.4 beta update last night, still no options.
