Just reporting in. Pixel 7 on T-Mobile and nothing yet. I tried that trick by turning off the SIM and checked over Wi-Fi too and nothing. I’ll get it when I get it, no big deal.
I tried sideloading an update several times earlier this year and just had a lot of problems. It kept failing half way through and I got annoyed and gave up. Back in the Cyanogenmod days I would flash updates almost every week. I’ve just reached a point where I don’t feel like messing with all that shit anymore. So I’ll wait. lol

Ditto, looked at the side loading options too, and it just seems like a lot of fuss in just to get the update up-to a week or so early.

Oh man, Cyanogen, nostalgia rush! I had that on my Motorola Cliq!
It breathed life into my Captivate and Infuse phones, beautifully at that. I miss the boldness of Android then.
Man I had a Captivate and then a Skyrocket, but my first Android phone was an HTC Aria. That thing was so tiny! lol
Ah, HTC… They were my first smartphone, though it was old school WinMo slider. I later had the m8, which I still miss dearly…
So I broke down and just sideloaded it hahaha! It actually worked perfectly the very first time. I just followed this video.

Hasn’t made it to my pixel 7 on Google Fi either (Ohio).
Not getting it yet on my international 7 pro. Hopefully soon
