        Hi,

        My FP4 is running OTA-4. I'd like to update it to OTA-5. Unfortunately, I can't.
        In "System Settings / Updates" :
        No software version is found (search for many minutes before give up).
        No update channel is found. The current channel is shown as "20.04 Stable". But when trying to select a channel, none is found.
        My device is configured with French language.

        Then I switched the system language to English (US). System rebooted to apply the change.
        And.... TADA !!! When going back to "System Settings / Updates" OTA-5 has been found instantaneously. I applied the update without any problem.

        Now, I'm back to French language and everything seems to be OK in "System Settings / Updates". Channels are found and OS version is shown as up to date (which means the system can access versions server).

        That's a weird behaviour.

          @DrPi Same thing happened to me. I fired up my Pixel 3a after being off for a long time. Running OTA-4. Checked for updates, found apps to update but not OTA-5. Following your suggestion, I switched from English to UK English. It then found OTA-5 immediately and is now updating.
