Android 2.2 is coming to Samsung Galaxy S in September

According to Samsung UK Mobile twitter account, they tweeted that the international version of Galaxy S will receive the Android 2.2 update in September. About three days ago, the Galaxy S owners could update their device using the leaked update for Android 2.2. But there are reports saying that the update is still very buggy and unstable. Considering all of those stuffs, I think it is safer to wait for the official release on September.

Hopefully, after the update, Samsung also will fix the occasional lag that I had experienced when I'm playing with the Galaxy S at the ICS a couple of weeks ago. We'll keep you posted about it!

Rumored: Samsung Galaxy Q, packs with Froyo and QWERTY keyboard

Samsung seems preparing the next Android phones, after introducing Samsung Epic 4G / Galaxy S Pro (another Galaxy S with slider QWERTY keyboard) and now Galaxy Q.

According to Samsung's specs leak, Galaxy Q will sports with 3 inch Super AMOLED display (720 x 480 pixel). This screen is smaller than Samsung Galaxy S I think, 8 megapixel camera + LED flash and 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. This phone will run Android 2.2 Froyo powered by 1Ghz Hummingbird processor.

Judging by the dimensions 120 mm x 68 mm x 9,25 mm, Galaxy Q seems to be a cell phone with the candy bar form factor and a QWERTY keyboard below. Some people on the AndroidForums says this phones will become a BlackBerry rival. Unfortunately until now there is no image yet for the Galaxy Q device.

New Froyo update for Nexus One is now available

Ever since yesterday, some Nexus One owners apparently received another update for Android 2.2. After the first update (Build number FRF50) then the second update (FRF72) and the last one is FRF83, and now the new update will have build number FRF85B. No news about what improvement the new update brings, but since the update size is pretty small (if you're coming from FRF83), I'm guessing its just a couple of bug fixing.

If you haven't receive the OTA update, you could try browse to Settings > About Phone > System updates. If that doesn't work, you could do it manually, all you need to do is download the required file:

  • If you're coming from build number FRF83, here's the link
  • If you're coming from build number EPE54B, here's the link

After you have download the file, rename it to update.zip then flash it. The 'how-to-flash' instruction is pretty much the same with the one that we have shared before.

Nexus One Froyo Update FRF72 leaked and available for download

We're not even have the official Froyo update from Google, yet the update for the Froyo it self has been leaked to the internet. A couple of months back, still fresh in our memory that Froyo is available to download. But apparently it's a beta build and it should only available for certain people. Now thanks to a source at xda-developers, this new update is now available to download and like the previous update, it needs to be installed manually to your Nexus One.

The leaked update requires the FRF50 be installed first before you flash the FRF72. You can check the 'how-to' from here. All in all, this is appeared to be just a minor update, fixes some wireless network and keyboard issues.

With a little bit of hack, the Nexus One is capable to shoots a 720p video

Man! The guys from the XDA-Developers forum never sleeps aren't they? This time the community presents a hack, which allows you to record a 720p video from your Nexus One. The video is a bit choppy at times and the sound quality is awful, but this is a work in progress so expect a better release in the future.

To apply the hack, you must have a rooted Nexus One and also running CyanogenMod CM 5.0.8test3 along with the Froyo's radio update. If you want to know more about the hack, go here to check it out.

Okay gotta admit, the hack is pretty darn scary.. so if you're not sure what you're about to do, then move along.
