Here comes the message that we have to check with the phone manufacturer on when the update is available. Update has been available just waiting on Verizon.im giving a week on a response and so e kind of information or I will be filing a claim with the better business bureau.

Had all the Pixels before switching to the OP8 VZW variant so maybe spoiled with timely updates but this is getting ridiculous. Not even a sign that it's getting worked on or an ETA of release? Long time Verizon customer here and will be considering other options soon.

I also came from a Pixel 2 and had Android 11 installed on my phone last summer!  My Oneplus 8 is only updated to the Oct 2020 security patch!  Ridiculous!

I started leasing this phone back in December and I am very disappointed with the lack of updates so far. I wanted to get away from slow updates and lack of communication after switching from my old LG V30 on Sprint/T-Mobile, but it seems I'm gonna be going through this garbage once again. Will likely switch back to T-Mobile and look into an unlocked phone in a few years once this lease expires.

What happens when following this path and setting it to 4GLTE? Settings >Wifi and Network >Sim and Network settings > Network mode > "automatic" to 4gLTE

What does that have to do with anything? We're not talking about connectivity issues here. We're talking about the lack of OS updates in a timely manner as well as the lack of clear communication regarding the status of them. Do you even know basic reading comprehension?

  • The manufacturer claims that it is Verizon who is holding up the updates. Oneplus has updated these phones with every other carrier for at least 8 months. It is NOT the manufacturer, it is Verizon who had a carrier specific model made.

You don't need any battery to get updates Verizon won't pro ide!

You don't know what you are talking about which makes this all the more frustrating. We've hit a stone wall if this is the best a Verizon rep can do.
