Well, apparently one other person in this thread received an expedited security update because he texted Samsung support. It did not work for me and I am still running an Oct. 1 security patch, even though I run the checker each day and it says that everything is up-to-date.

Odin is best Samsung tool , you can flash any carrier CSC code in same amount of time a OTA update installs

Thanks, Mustang. When I do a software check on the phone it shows up as ATT/XAA because it's unlocked and being used on AT&T. If I don't get an update soon, I'll just try and flash with Odin. The ATC is a mystery.

Still no update... At this point I don't really know what to do. Still on October 1st security patch. Why are so many unlocked S21 Ultra devices having this issue with carriers? I have never had this long of a delay before.

Installing November update now as I type. S21U on Tmobile.
(2 months late)... but at least making progress....

gray2018 · Jan 9, 2023

Yeah I FINALLY got the November update. It should have been bundled with Android 13. Now if we could get the December patch soon, that would be nice.

I am possibly switching over to a T-Mobile MVNO soon, and definitely worried now about how my updates are gonna go lol

I finally received the November security update on my S21U T-Mobile unlocked yesterday. Now, it is only 2 months behind instead of 3.

Yes. All major carriers are at November patch for unlocked S21U at the moment.

The security patch, too? My S21U with T-Mobile still shows a November 1 security patch. I just received that update two days ago, previously October 1. I would u/l a screenshot but apparently the forum is having trouble with uploading pics into posts right now.

I uploaded the photo via Tapatalk so the quality is bad.

This is not the unlocked model. Unlocked ones tend to be last for some reason...

Gotcha. Should've read the beginning of the thread. My bad.

This is the biggest downside to using a factory unlocked device.

Still would choose the unbranded/unlock over carrier version

gray2018 · Jan 12, 2023

Yes. Definitely. I don't like carrier bloatware and prefer to have the freedom to use whatever carrier I want if need be.

mustang7757 · Jan 12, 2023

I'm the same

gray2018 · Jan 12, 2023

My old T-Mobile branded Note 9 was destroyed essentially by a combination of battery life and lag after T-Mobile pushed a stupid app called "Carrier hub." Something to do with the Sprint merger, but it couldn't be removed in any way, and if you did, it just showed up again.

After that, I told myself I would never again use another carrier locked device.

Not on Android 13 (and maybe even 12). It quit running on my S21U
