    Factory unlocked Galaxy S22 on VZW won't update

    Update (no pun intended): I was able to find a YouTube step-by-step guide and successfully downloaded the appropriate firmware and got my wife's phone updated to Android 13. It went flawlessly. An extra benefit is that the phone is now recognized by the VZW update servers and has downloaded and...

    Factory unlocked Galaxy S22 on VZW won't update

    Doing some research... the baseband version on the phone shows S901USQS2AVHJ which seems to be AT&T. If I update with AT&T firmware, the phone still won't update on the Verizon network, will it?

    Factory unlocked Galaxy S22 on VZW won't update

    Factory unlocked Galaxy S22 on VZW won't update

    I ordered a new factory unlocked Galaxy S22 for my wife (identical to one I ordered for me a few months earlier) and replaced her phone on VZW with it. My phone updated from Android 12 to 13 and gets the periodic One UI updates like it's supposed to; hers does/will not. I used a utility to...

    Thinking about the future (phones, plans, Android in general)

    Please forgive an old fart for his first post. I've searched and not found the answers to my particular questions. My wife and I are retired and full-time RVers. Though I did not get my first cell phone until 2008 (we had pagers in the hospitals for that - everyone else could call my land line...
