New Android 2.2 update for the Nexus One is available now Tweet
If you dutifully followed our instructions last month on how to manually install Froyo on your Nexus One then I have good news; a new update is now available for you direct from Google’s servers for the time being.
This one is specifically designed to take you from the previously leaked FRF50 build to FRF72 so don’t try to run this if you are on something other than the stock FRF50 build.
Don’t expect anything mind blowing as this one is a wee little file and consensus over on XDA, where this originally leaked, is that we are probably basically just looking at some bug fixes (not that bug fixes aren’t appreciated).
No word on whether this will in fact be the build that Google eventually releases to the masses via OTA, but for the time being its the latest and greatest direct from Google so go ahead and follow the directions below to give it a shot.
To manually install Android 2.2 FRF72 on the Nexus One, perform the following steps:
1.Download the official Android 2.2 firmware for the Nexus One here.
2.Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)
3.Power off your phone.
4.Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.
5.The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery and press the POWER button.
6.When you see the “/!\” symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be “Apply sdcard:update.zip”.
7.Use the trackball to navigate to “apply sdcard:update.zip” and select it.
8.When you see “Install from sdcard complete”, select “reboot system now”.
Word is the first reboot could take a few minutes so don’t panic if things don’t boot up quite as quickly as you are accustomed.
Let us know how the update goes for you and if anything seems to be new and improved we would love to hear about it.
Update: If Swype and/or Google Voice aren’t working after the update you should go ahead and uninstall and reinstall them to get them back up and running.
Here is the list of improvements that people are reporting on FRF72.
■Power button working properly
■Improved Flash performance
■Stock browser speed increase
■Increased internal storage (~ 50 MB)
■Improved 3G reception
Thanks to everyone that contributed their experiences with the update.
Finally, as Zacqary Adam Green pointed out in comments, a rooted version is available over on XDA if you are interested in checking that out.

Samsung Galaxy S Pro specs begin to emerge Tweet
The Samsung Galaxy S Pro is real. We know that, of course, because we've seen a picture of it with Sprint branding. But what we haven't had is specs or any hands-on impressions -- until now.
We've got details from a tried-and-true tipster of what may well end up being the hottest phone of the year -- a tall order, indeed, given what we've seen from HTC so far this year, and what's coming out from Motorola. Let's discuss after the break.
First, let's preface this by saying that we wouldn't be surprised to see some of what you're about to read may well change by the time this phone launches. From what we're told, things are still very much in the testing phase, and so it's not unusual for some things -- especially on the software side -- to be changed up. But now, the juicy parts.
Samsung Galaxy S Pro hardware
•Size: It's a tad shorter (about a half-inch) and more narrow (about three-eights of an inch) than the Sprint Evo 4G, but it's thick. Not surprising, given the slide-out keyboard.
•Keyboard: Slider mechanism is very smooth and clicks in place when closed. The keys are raised, made of soft plastic. They're pretty firm when pressed.
•Body: Our tipster wasn't impressed by the plastic feel, though it could just be a prototype thing.
•Processor: Samsung/Intrinsity ARM Cortex A8 @ 1GHz.
•Screen: "Gorgeous," which is about what we hear anybody say when they're first exposed to Super AMOLED. Blacks are very dark, "almost look wet." Font edges look a tad fuzzy, like on the Nexus One. But when viewing white text on a black background, they're very easy to read. The resolution appears to be 480x800. The screen size is noticeably smaller than the Evo 4G, but bigger than the Nexus One. So it may well be the same 4-inch screen that's on the Galaxy S. Very responsive, only needed a light touch. "Never used anything so fluid." Feels a little plasticy.
•Memory: 512MB of RAM. There was 8.2 gigabytes of ROM, which possibly could be re-allocated to phone storage/internal storage, much like the Verizon Droid Incredible. But that's speculation on our part.
•WiFi: 802.11 b/g/n.
•Cameras: 5MP rear-facing camera with 1x optical zoom, 720p recording. Front-facing camera is VGA.
•Other radios: EVDO Rev. A./Wimax. Additional SIM card slot points to possible World phone.
Samsung Galaxy S Pro software impressions
OK, so this is where we'd expect more movement before launch. But here's what we were told:
•Sounds like the TouchWiz 3.0 customizations are on board. (Which our tipster wasn't crazy about but says "really cool scrolling people widget makes up for it.")
•Android 2.1-update 1 was on board. No word if it'll launch with it or Froyo.
•As for video, H.264 and Divx both worked fine.
•Usual Sprint software was on board, and Sprint TV worked fine over 4G, 3G and Wifi (on the Evo 4G, it doesn't work on Wifi).
So that's it for now. We're sure we'll flesh this out some by launch time -- whenever that is -- and it's possible we may see it announced in a week or so at the New York event. Let's hope so, as the Galaxy S Pro is shaping up to be another (yes, another) must-have phone this year.
