Not-so super Nexus One


A few days ago Google announced that they've received their final shipment of Nexus One phones and as soon as they run out of them, that will be the end of it as they will shut down the Nexus One web  store and will no longer offer the superphone for sale.

Google did say that the Nexus One will still be available from existing carrier partners such as Vodafone in Europe and KT in South Korea but there's no word as to how long this arrangement will last.

Despite the fanfare the Nexus One received at launch in January, it has been an abysmal exercise for Google. The sales of the phone is embarrassing to say the least, 135 thousand units in the time it took the iPhone 3GS to sell 1 million units seven months earlier and that is with arguably a better hardware feature set.

The Nexus One was supposedly launched as a beacon for the Android ecosystem but the leapfrogging among Android partners have negated this purpose. Thanks to Google's self imposed limitation in sales channels coupled with the $500+ price tag in the US, the superphone had an uphill battle against competition from within its own ranks. In the end, Google relented.

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.

Korea's KT to bring Nexus One by late June

In line with Google strategy on dropping Nexus One direct sales, Korea's KT is set to offer Nexus One by late June. KT will be the first operator in Asia to sale Nexus One. Previously Vodafone is the first operator outside USA to offer such thing. Lee Suk-chae, KT's chairman, confirmed that Nexus One brought will powered by Android latest OS, version 2.2 or also known as Froyo.

KT has claimed major success in Korea's smartphone market with skyrocketing sales of iPhone 3GS. Yet, smartphone war with its direct competitor, country's largest SK Telecom, pushes KT to bring more and more favored smartphones to market. SK Telecom is about to unveil Samsung Galaxy S and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. 

No price plan revealed for this phone. Nexus One is Google own phone -- the first Android phone with updated OS2.2, offering some new features, including built-in portable hotspot and faster compilation performance.

No more direct sales for Nexus One

Nothing seems to be rosy for Google and their Nexus One smartphone. Dropped by Verizon in favor of the HTC Incredible, then dropped by Sprint in favor of HTC EVO 4G, lackluster sales in the US and international markets, little seems to go right for the "Superphone" dubbed by some to be the iPhone killer.

In January, Google looked intent on disrupting the mobile phone market by offering direct sales from their website to consumers. While T-Mobile is their preferred US partner, the Nexus One has never been available from T-Mobile outlets. Compare this to the Motorola Droid which is sold by Verizon through their retail outlets. 

Worldwide Android adoption is faster than they could probably have hoped for but US sales of Nexus One pales in comparison to the Droid. In 74 days, both the original iPhone and the Motorola Droid, available only in the United States, sold 1 million units each. In Motorola's case, they exceeded it. Google on the other hand, sold only 135,000 units despite being available in several countries.

Today, Google announced a change in their sales approach. Adopting their strategy in Europe, Google will soon extend their partnerships with local operators in the US and international markets and make Nexus One available through traditional retail channels. This means you should soon be able to pick up a Nexus One from a store instead of having to order it directly from Google. Operators are also more likely to be selling it with a service contract which would help the phone's adoption rate. Nothing however has been said about after sales support.

On the other hand, this decision may be a case of too little too late. The Droid and the Milestone (its GSM/HSPA version) appeal to those looking for a premium Android phone with a mechanical keyboard. The N1 is now also facing competition from its stablemate, the HTC Desire which comes with a longer battery life, higher specification, and a refined button placements.

Flash Player on the Nexus One, Android 2.2 release is imminent?

Adobe evangelist, Ryan Stewart has teased us with a new video showing off the latest version of Flash 10.1 on his Nexus One. He showed us about 6 websites that uses a pretty heavy flash usage and from that video, we could tell that, even though there are some noticeable lag, overall the performance is really good, the animation works really well, the video is also played on an acceptable frame rate.

If you watched the whole video, you'll notice that there's a little surprise at the end of the video. Presumably a glimpse of a new home screen (notice the new Google Search bar, also the new launcher at the bottom of the screen). So it seems that the release of Android 2.2 a.k.a Froyo is imminent, probably will be unveiled at the Google I/O on 19th of May? We'll just have to wait and see.

Nexus One complaints pile up

Being the first generation of 'Superphone', the Nexus One is sure have lots of problem. First the 3G connection problem, then the multitouch issue, then there has been some issue weather the display is actually only has 392x653 for its resolution rather than the anticipated 480x800. While the last two is more like a technical issue for geek users, there has been some other complaints that you can found on Nexus One support page.
