Finally got notification of the January security update this morning on S22+ Unlocked.  All three software versions show ending in '2BWA2', with 369.12mb size.

Still no Jan security update love yet for S22+ unlocked after just checking.

Interesting, I never even knew about that function/differential until now.  And it required a manual restart as well.

I tried a 2nd update attempt after the restart but didn't experience what you did.

What's the version number?  I tried manually requesting update but it says up to date on my end.  33.6.13-21

Just got the December update on my unlocked S22. 

Same here on unlocked S22+, been checking daily and didn't appear until today.

This WccfTech article on durability popped up in my Google feed tonight:

Factory unlocked users take note: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/yi5klm/removed_band_confusion/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

 

I wonder how this affects roaming. Normally factory unlocked phones should have more band choices, especially overseas.

"Edit. I'm bumb (dumb) and didn't realize that the firmware could change based on the sim card installed."

Only time I have gotten a free sim from them is when I "purchased" some "free" phones from T-Mobile, unless I go back to when they were a distant 4th carrier.  My four other MVNOs are feast or famine, so I try to keep several hanging around.  I have noticed different versions have different capabilities, and newer is not always better.  They typically force you to upgrade when you need to activate another discount period.  

In my wife's case its because she's still on a Sprint SIM card on the A32 5G, and they're pushing to change over to the T-Mo card hot and heavy...but we're also in former Shentel land so unless/until I hear feedback from her of pointed issues that warrant it (I've told her to monitor and let me know), I'm not switching it over yet.

Hard to imagine they're actually worth much as easy as they are to get free though.....they keep sending them out unsolicited like nuts.  We just got like a 3rd packet of them less than a month ago and got another email notifying "SIM card is on the way".  

Half joking/half serious post:  Is there an aftermarket for TMo physical SIMs?  If they keep sending us SIM's trying to ram replacement down our throats regarding my wife's A32 5G with this frequency I'd love to cash in at some point ha 🤪

I see a typo in my previous message.  Try *#2263#.  Check in the NR5G band preference menu.

I don't see any NR B25 (assuming that's the correct reference I'm looking for) reference in the list.  It goes from NR B20 to NR B28 in order.

May be because I'm on an unlocked version, but it won't let me go in using that code unfortunately.

Just checked and October security update is available on my unlocked S22+ for awareness of other S22 users to check for - all three software versions show ending in '2AVI5' with file size of 358.86.

For some reason lately, text receipts are intermittently being delayed (I'm on an unlocked S22+) for me lately, I had a slew suddenly come through from about 3 different sources from yesterday that were all delivered about 8:40am suddenly this morning as the latest example.....or otherwise if my wife says she sent something and I have a heads up, if I reboot my phone, suddenly whatever was 'pending' I suppose being the best way to describe it, will come through then.   Sending out texts I'm having no issues, they always show full communication fairly immediately, but the wife sometimes says she hasn't gotten something I've texted her either.  

Also this is on a full TMo physical SIM and I'm in prior Shentel area in central PA/Harrisburg area for contextual info along those lines.

That's odd to me....the bolded counties are every county bordering/surrounding Lincoln (my homefront county back in TN) which isn't listed.  All three of Giles-Lincoln-Franklin (west to east order) sit on the Alabama line northish of Huntsville AL, Lincoln being the one due north up Hwy 231/431.

Playing off @clbowens mention in the S21 thread of another August update, I just checked on my unlocked S22+ and in our case the September update appeared available.   All three versions showing end in '2AVHL' and in my case its a 339.21MB patch.

Nothing yet in that regard here for the unlocked variant unfortunately (posting for those who might have one vs Tmo centric)

August update finally arrived for S22+ unlocked tonight 👍
