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!

Your Nexus One haven't got the Android 2.2 OTA update? Do it manually!

Just a couple of days after the announcement of Android 2.2 Froyo, the update has been rolled out to some of the Nexus One owners. Unfortunately lots of people are saying that they haven't receive any notification about the OTA update, especially if you live outside US. Well not to worry, because now you can update your Nexus One to Android 2.2, manually!

Let me remind you though, this is not for the faint of heart. Requires you to go to your phone recovery mode, then apply the update from there. Oh and one more thing, this is for the non-rooted phone only. If your phone has been rooted, you can try this one, but do it carefully.

Still want to update? Here's the instruction on how to do it,

Facebook Android App gets Inbox support

Any Android users will have to agree that the native client for Facebook is a bit dull, you can't create an event, you can't use Facebook chat and you can't even see your inbox. You will get notified though if there's a new message on your inbox, but if you tap the notification bubble, it will brings you to mobile Facebook via browser. But that ends today, Facebook for Android is finally got a new update, while the update does not include the Facebook chat or managing an Event, the update however, brings the Inbox feature that many users has been wanting.

The Inbox page has three tabs for your new received messages, a new subscription updates and also for the sent messages. You can even compose the message and send it to one or even more of your friends.

Other than the new Inbox feature, I haven't noticed anything different, probably a few bug fixes here and there. Facebook for Android is available for free on Android Market.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to receive an update on September, adds multi-touch capability

According to mobiles.co.uk, on the second half of 2010, probably around September, the X10 will have a very 'big' update and guess what... it will also include the multi-touch capability. This is really surprising, especially the multi-touch capability. Previously, we already know that the X10 will never support the multi-touch due to hardware related issue, but if the news is true, then the X10 is only having a software related issue. My bet is, on September, the X10 will eventually receive the Android 2.1 (which will allows the multi-touch) update its been longing for, but the real question is, will it receive the Android 2.1 OR will it receive the newer Android update? assuming that Google has released their newest Android update, Froyo. We'll just have to wait and see..
