No December update for my Pixel 3, so far

[korab84]

My pixel 3 phone still hasn't received the December update yet...still on November 5 update. I keep hitting the check for update button every 2-3 days and still nothing. It says my phone is up to date.
Is there a reason why?

With rollouts some people get them faster while some get it later , can side load through computer if your familar with that .

Nah, no sideloading for me.
BTW, the phone has ~10GB storage left out of 64GB.

That should be enough for the download

We'll see if the phone will get the December update or jump to January when the time comes.

Can try the usual to speed up to come to you but not guaranteed like rebooting the phone , change time and day forward couple days , pull sim card out then check for the update.

The Google Play system update is on the December update though...I don't know what's happening or why (December 24 and no updating)

Yeah that's a new thing I've noticed also , I'm guessing started with Android 10

I haven't gotten mine either. I'm guessing there are some bugs that might still be getting squashed. If you're on T-Mobile, there was also a delay as they were getting e-SIM compatibility ready.

Many are still waiting like you are. I side loaded it couple weeks back.

Dear Google,
I don't think I like you anymore.
You used to send me updates every month.
BUT NOW YOU LEAVE ME HANGING, LIKE AN ORNAMENT ON THE TREE......

Dear Google...... I don't think I like you anymore

I'm on T-Mobile but with an unlocked Pixel 3; its updates should come directly from Google and not get filtered via T-Mobile...this is a not a modified T-Mobile phone.

I believe even on the unlocked version still got get the certification from carriers it pass then they release , similar how Samsung unlocked get it .

No, pixel Google unlocked are updated by Google directly and not through TMobile.

Many Fi users don't have the December patch either. Google is holding it back to the masses for some reason not TMobile.

It's strange, I had put my Att card and immediately got the update .

My P3 was bought through Fi. I could not get the update until I put my VZW SIM .

That was my original thinking as well, but I thought I read something about this recently.

You can't rule out TMo being an issue with the update since Fi will automatically use TMo service when needed. Facts are that no one here has got the update if they're on TMo or Fi. Some on TMo have got the update by pulling or switching sims. The common factor with not getting the update is having Tmo service. I don't believe this is a coincidence.

No, they're not - it's been available at Google | Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices (and the full ROM at the same site - upper left corner to switch) I think late on the 2nd (although I didn't download it until the 3rd - I was busy).

The Fi P3s may be far down on the list for some reason. (I've never figured out how the carriers and manufacturers decide those lists - serial numbers? Purchase dates? I've downloaded and updated manually since the first one on my Note 3. [I did an OTA once - on my P2 - and it bricked the phone, so I had to do it manually anyway. And, since I always do a Nandroid backup before any major change, I didn't lose anything.])
