Nexus One gets yet another Android 2.2 Froyo update, FRF91

Another day, another Froyo build. Now that Android 2.2 build FRF85 -- i.e. the big one that got pushed over-the-air to every Nexus One this week -- is out on the prowl, Google's taken it upon itself to release yet another update, FRF91. We've heard from a few tipsters that it's also going out OTA, but our devices have yet to be notified -- all the same, a direct link for the file has been found, so it's legit. Word on the street is it's just a security update, but we've yet to install it ourselves. Go on, live a little, download's just below.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Congrats guys.

@Ninetysix

Sweet.

[MGore32 Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:44PM]

@beesneazy
can we get an update for the droids or the ally? 2.2 is amazing but its in a monopoly by the nexus one...

[MrStacy Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:45PM]

@Ninetysix Now engadget needs to re-review the nexus one.. is it still a 7/10 phone? Was it really ever a 7/10 phone?

@Ninetysix

SOURCE SEEMS TO BE BROKEN. PLEASE CHECK THE LINK.

@MrStacy

This is why the numerical score was a stupid idea...

[beesneazy Posted Jul 1st 2010 9:07PM]

@MGore32

hah to be fair I have the Evo ... so I'm not seeing much love either. waiting for access to the recent OTA. -_-

[MRCUR Posted Jul 1st 2010 9:28PM]

@coolkams03 - Just edit the URL it takes you to... Not rocket science.

[JAG Posted Jul 1st 2010 9:47PM]

@Ninetysix

F*ck, when will this ends? again another 2.2 update? they should release the lastest and thats all.

I think that will slow Droid to get FROYO.

[afinite Posted Jul 1st 2010 10:43PM]

@Ninetysix

So much froyo...its causing diabetes! lol.

Also, for anyone looking for instructions on how to do a manual update here is a good link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712983

@MrStacy
i dont have anything intelligent to say, other than mr stacy is so right, its stupid. Engadget, please RE-review the nexus one, it seriously makes sense to do it.

[Frankenstein Black Posted Jul 1st 2010 10:59PM]

@beesneazy - As he holds his AT&T frequ'ed, Froyo Roided, 1ghz Nexus One in his left hand while surfing azz loads of flash enabled web sites. Why wait for an iFruit 5 redesign when this hot azz phone is staring you in the face. And this is Google's own branded baby so the updates will always hit it first. Oh, did I mention that Brazilian babes have hot arses? FLASH 2 TIMES!!

[beesneazy Posted Jul 1st 2010 11:22PM]

@Frankenstein Black

???

[Kenny Fn Powers Posted Jul 2nd 2010 12:19AM]

@MGore32

You mean somebody actually bought an Ally? Seriously?

[sibyy Posted Jul 2nd 2010 3:23AM]

@MGore32 that's why I got the N1 instead of the droid :P

[slickpaki Posted Jul 2nd 2010 8:54AM]

@Ninetysix I got this. Not sure whats the difference thoug

[boesky Posted Jul 2nd 2010 8:58AM]

@MrStacy Not a 7/10 I suppose, more like a 9.9?

[wakeup Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:34PM]

best phone.

[Kurian Posted Jul 2nd 2010 12:15AM]

@wakeup
Every other Android phone is a joke. Dunno why anyone would buy anything but the Nexus One. Bloody manufactures think they can take their own sweet time and release updates after a year, after the next two updates are already out. And don't tell me to use some crappy unpolished custom build. Homebrew sucks, period.

[24kJames Posted Jul 2nd 2010 12:35AM]

@Kurian I have Froyo with Flash on me DROOIIID right meow-

[cdf74dc9 Posted Jul 2nd 2010 2:44PM]

@Kurian

N1 was good, but newer phone has better option and hardware. The update will eventually release to every new phone that came out this year. Also N1 is a Google exclusive so it have to come to them first and I don't mind.

[EggoEspada Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:35PM]

So does this patch something or what?

[Dafrety Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:44PM]

@EggoEspada
No, actually it rolls your Nexus one back to Android 1.0. Surprise!

[angermeans Posted Jul 2nd 2010 12:11AM]

@Dafrety ha ha

[Dafrety Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:36PM]

Nice. Hopefully this will clear up a few issues I've had.

[sthroop Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:46PM]

@Dafrety

Agreed. I have noticed issues with maps and the wireless hotspot feature on FR85. Kind of disappointing. Anybody else had problems?

[timchoi89 Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:49PM]

@sthroop streaming audio from pandora and last.fm sounds terrible now in froyo. i emailed pandora about it and they said they're not sure if the problem is on google's end or their end. they know for sure the 2.2 changed the way android handles streaming audio though

[Mariohd Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:58PM]

@timchoi89 idk for me it sounds fine and the same.

[ac2913 Posted Jul 2nd 2010 1:03AM]

@timchoi89

Pandora now has a setting to allow high quality audio streaming over mobile network, make sure its checked. One problem I do have is not resuming streaming after Google maps navigation gives me a direction or after a phone call.

[airbag888 Posted Jul 2nd 2010 1:13AM]

@Dafrety
I haven't had any issues. I wonder what this update fixes exactly. But I'm not complaining for 910KB of download.

I wonder about all those who are not getting their OTA if they ever connect to a Wifi router. My phone stays on the WIFI all night and in the morning I see it has an update ready. Also I'm neither in the US or Europe, more like on a small island in the indian ocean so no favoritism here

[almarmada Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:36PM]

Please sir...could you spare a little froyo for my poor evo...please sir...*single tear falls slowly*

[CadmarHuxtable Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:39PM]

@almarmada yeah no kidding! Im dying over here. Come on Sprint/HTC, get it together!

[Special Agent Steve Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:41PM]

@almarmada
Don't forget the Incredible :D (almost the exact same thing as the Nexus One so HTC should be on top of this :D )

[geniusdog254 Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:44PM]

@CadmarHuxtable Dude it's been a week since FroYo source was officially released and so far the only phone to get it has been a phone that Google sells itself. Chill.

There's nothing to get together, they haven't had long enough to make let alone test an update thoroughly. When its been 2 months, then there's something to get together.

[BUM Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:59PM]

@almarmada i hear you! cant wait for 2.2 on my evo

[jschaeff Posted Jul 1st 2010 9:03PM]

@almarmada I have a nexus one and nothing has been pushed ota to me....

[beesneazy Posted Jul 1st 2010 9:09PM]

@almarmada

i feel for ya bro, i feel for ya

[pika2000 Posted Jul 1st 2010 9:27PM]

@almarmada Beg to Sprint, and see if they care.

[peta Posted Jul 1st 2010 10:28PM]

@jschaeff me neither!! Bah! :(

[Errrric Posted Jul 2nd 2010 12:25AM]

@peta I haven't gotten any update yet either!

Hopefully by tomorrow. They said "by the end of the week".

[massradius Posted Jul 2nd 2010 8:20AM]

@jschaeff

Agree with the poster who mentioned wifi. I was on wifi all last night and I noticed an update this morning

[SomeGuyAtSomePlace Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:38PM]

SWEET!!!

[scjessey Posted Jul 2nd 2010 1:45PM]

@SomeGuyAtSomePlace

[ashleythehottiest Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:38PM]

Wats the difference

[mflynn Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:39PM]

all i want for my Nexus is the 2.2 update :( I have yet to receive the 2.2 OTA and they keep giving some nexus owners more updates

[Engadgeteeer Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:41PM]

@mflynn What's stopping you from doing a manual update?

[coitis1 Posted Jul 1st 2010 8:42PM]

@mflynn

You can d/l the official build yourself and self-install it. That's what I did on Sunday when I was too eager to wait for the OTA. Look for the link in the Froyo OTA article from a couple of days ago.

[bombastinator Posted Jul 1st 2010 10:08PM]

@mflynn I did the first update manually and it was pain in the ass. I'd much rather have an OTA that I don't have to pray will not brick my phone,
\Still waiting though. I've half a mind to wander into a t-mobile store and find out what the heck is up. Perhaps I'm not on the list because I paid cash.

[redrocco Posted Jul 2nd 2010 1:21AM]

@mflynn How the heck do you get the OTA I couldn't count how many times I have checked for the update manually! This is getting ridiculous, just had dinner and I want dessert!

[mflynn Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:05AM]

@redrocco That's the problem, I use *#*#CHECKIN#*#*, check for system updates (settings>about phone>System Updates) and I see nothing

@coitis1 I'll probabyl end up doing that. I have my N1 rooted, so its no problem taking a nandroid backup and loading 2.2 I was hoping the OTA was going to occur so I wouldn't have to do that
