Security update

So your saying that the rest of the world has better cell infrastructure?
Not sure how you can blame Google for your carries wonky systems.

It's not better cell systems. They've done this before in the past. Batch it out to the rest of the world, if there are no major issues fully push it out everywhere.

It's def Google here. They disabled the check for update button for some reason. The button worked completely fine last month, but now it doesn't work. At least in the US.

So, the rest of the world is Google's guinea pig? I don't buy that either.

I can check for update fine on my Verizon Pixel 7 Pro. So not sure what check for update button is disabled. It just seems like it's more of a carrier issue since almost everywhere else got it and the update is available on googles update servers. The OTA aspect from my understanding is the carriers not Google.

Why not?

The rest of the world compared to US users for the pixel would be a lot smaller. Plus as I've said before, they have done this before back in Dec of 21.

It's more likely that with only 2% -5% of the North American market, carrier's aren't in a rush to push the software out for pixels.

I don't mean disabled as in not accessible.

The button was "fixed" years ago to where when you manually check for an update regardless of wherever you are in their staged rollout, it would pull the OTA.

It's now back to behaving like it was before, you can hit the check for update button, but it's not actually doing anything.

I suspect it's actually querying, it's just that whichever construct (update metadata, carrier, ...?) isn't ready is gating it.
Google can restrict this, although I've never seen any real mechanism (I asked here, perused a bit of source) for carriers to block it, programatically, I think it's more of a communication between them and Google, to tweak the metadata for carrier exclusion.
 
I'm confident we'll see it hitting today ...

Because the second to last week in June is the perfect time to roll out a June update 🤣
Update is finally downloading to my phone this morning. It's about 10am in California.. on Google Fi. Is it finally showing up for you guys as well?
