  • How do I download the new market

  • good review!

  • lol the saaaaame

  • no 3D effect on mine? :|

  • Nice review, thanks for sharing it. I actually bough a FROYO phone and can't wait another day to actually touch it :)

  • O yea

  • you sound like James Woods from Family Guy.

    Say " OOOOOO PIECE A CANDY" 10x

  • @mrnude123456 tard.

  • whats froyo?:S

  • HTC Desire>Google Nexus One

  • i want dieters number

    

  • Download Froyo 2.2 on my page. YourFilesToday!

  • Are androids worth buying? Many of my friends rave they are superior to the iPhone(which I want to buy) but I've tried both and I prefer the iPhones software way more then the Android software.... can anyone convince me otherwise?

  • @guitarman812 It really depends on which android phone you buy. The Samsung Galaxy S Phones (captivate, epic 4g, fascinate, nexus S, etc.) are huge, and true, competitors for the iphone 4, since Samsung manufactures the ARM A8 Cortex 1GHz for both the iPhone 4 and all the phones I just mentioned. Both the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S phones run extremely smooth, and have brilliant screens too. Android 2.2 also makes it a rival to the iPhone 4 since it allows you to move apps to external storage...

  • @guitarman812 (Cont') and you can expand external storage all the way up to 32 GB with a MicroSDHC card.

  • Android without HTC Sense seems a pretty piddlizing affair to be honest.

    The "Google Experience" is pretty shabby. Its taken over 2 years for them to get only half the fun of YT on the app. Gmail looks terrible & you can only attach pics without an app. Google Maps & Translate are cool, Sky Maps is fun although you'll barely use it. The other email app is pointless.

    HTC needs to buy out the Android platform from Google. They clearly know what they're doing and have vision.

  • @vancityguy

    Yeah they really do. Instead they release a new device every other week and forget about the people who bought their devices that's why If I was to get an android I would probably get a htc or motorola (I would change the ui though) because they actually update their devices

  • Android users, G(.)(.)gle is watching you...

  • I really wish Samsung will get their act together, and get this released on my Captivate soon. I'm hearing now it's early 2011? My God...

  • good walk through....fast and to the point!

  • i didnt really get what (froyo) is ? like android 2.1 is called "froyo" ?

  • @masni92 the 2.1 update was called eclair and the new 2.2 update is called froyo. froyo is an abbreviation for FROzen YOgurt. All the updates are named after desserts. The next update is called gingerbread- i think

  • @aquamagie

    haha, nice kinda creative with those, not so boring as some thing like software update 2 and 3 and on.. :D

  • Can u get android 2.2 onto the samsung galaxy spica ?

  • @Cannuck88

    ya u can.... aftr that u shud do a hard reset...

  • my galaxy s hasn't got a car mode...

  • Yeah.. I def have 7 home screens.. Just sezzin, bud.

  • Is this a different version than on the HTC Desire Z? Or is it just another theme or something?

  • when will this come out for Captivate ATT?

  • Great walkthrough. Android is so much prettier than WP7.

  • why do you have cheap porn music on?

  • @dampisken for some people, this is porn.

  • add me in gangwars android

    6A371

  • i det my nexus in the next few days cant wait to use 2.2 it so much better than iphone

  • Schneider, DICK :D

    1:30

  • i dun know y but iphone is the best..

  • Respond to this video...  ur jst a apple fan boy

  • @pvinodchowdary i m not looking any thing special in this phone :$

  • quick question can the android OS multitask?

    like the iphone 3gs and iphone 4.

  • @tobysuniverse much better actually

  • @tobysuniverse thts the most stupid question ive ever heard...

  • @pvinodchowdary you know pvinodchowdary there was a time that you didn't know anything about the android os either...just keep that in mind my friend.

    Have a good day.

    and try to be a little less mean to noobs

  • @tobysuniverse iphone sucks and the iphone 3gs could never multitask only the iphone 4 which still sucks Android os for the win !!!!

  • @rizegraymon1 hahaha okay okay I bought both of them because I didn't know which one was better and you know what BOTH of them are good ...it just depends what your needs are.

    I , with all respect to my android brothers out there like the android lots but the iphone sooths my needs better especially the appstore .

    And btw the 3gs does multitask. It doesn't multitask great but pretty good .

    My G1 is pretty cool too

  • @tobysuniverse well the 3gs only multitaks with the 4.0 update but before that it didnt and i really hate the iphone becuase every iphone is the same like the same they just add 3g or voice control wooopy none cares but i got to admit that its pretty fast and it doesnt lag my father having the iphone 4 it rivals my htc incredible but i think the android os is better then the ios

  • At last!... Today i recieved 2.2 update from t-mobile uk on my Desire and i have to say i have noticed a huge difference in performance along with the extra features that come with it, it has made my phone run much more efficiently. I love it!

  • @marcusarelius23 glad you love it. I love my droid 2.2 os

  • Windows phone 7 ftw, it has STYLE

  • Can u use the Samsung Galaxy S as an FM transmitter??? My car doesnt have anything but a cd player???

  • i just think ios 4 is much cleaner and easyer to use, but does need more personalisation

  • my droid x says i'm up to date what do i do!!!???

  • @AstroZombie20201 droid x already runs 2.2 by default

  • I knew I should have bought the nexus one contract free, damn it! good video though

  • 6 minutes in and I don't know if its good or not!

  • LOL AT 5:28 sounds like he is singing :D

  • @arfhi0406 :D went back to listen, lamo

  • they have stopped selling nexus one to consumers, asshole...

  • Comment removed

  • flash is so fucking slow on android!

  • Hi Thanks for making this vid but i got one question.

    I can't find the 3d launcher option. and im running official update 2.2 froyo

    Please Help me out

    Thanks Marty.

  • @mjkim810 what phone are u using? cause certain android phones dont have it

  • i aint sheep dont worry your nexus one will suffer the same faite as droid. when google will stop both phone from updating beyond 3.0 os due to bs claim/hardware requirement bs from google.

  • google should tell there carrier to support the phone with update at least 2 years. like that maybe ppl wont buy android every mins or switch to other carrier for supposedly" higher end phones"

  • dude u need to get a life. i was expressing my opinion. i dont like iphone i like android. something i dislike is carrier not upgrading our phone bring bs excuses. iphone at least gives you 3 years cycle of update. iphone1g got retire after ios 3.0. iphone3g look to do the same ios 4.2 or 4.3 in holiday and have 3 yrs until june when ios 5.0 os comeout. calm down gosh

  • i got froyo!!!

  • @givemesomeadobo want a cookie?

  • @point6000x sure

  • Is it a huge advangage to be able to change the battery with say...HTC Desire....as opposed to an Iphone 4. Or not really depending on if I won't to mail it in to apple for a battery change. What about being able to move the memory cards?

  • Looks like they incorporated ADW.Laucnher and Power Control widget...

  • I have a question. I'm buying a new phone soon and I want to know if I can drag and drop all my mp3 files into a Andriod. Will it be able to support it? Also can the Andriod play youtube videos?

  • @AlchemistxBankai

    Yes and Yes!! :-)

  • when can i install android 2.2 on samsung galaxy i7500?

    pls answer me

    10x

  • how much data does tethering use

  • I got the new dell Streak and i cant wait for this. :)

  • @RustiSwordz How do you like the Dell Streak? I saw it on display on my last trip to England.

  • @roro2k I love it, the screen is nice and bright, the functionality is excellent. Its a large phone/small pad but its comfortable. The 1.6 android os is a little rough around the edges but the freedom of use over the itunes restricted iphone is immense. When 2.2 comes out it was made for the streak. Ir will blow the IP4 away.

  • @RustiSwordz That's what I love the most about Android devices..."the freedom of use." (^_^)

  • @roro2k Oh yes, were lucky to get the Streak first in the UK. I love it. I can do what i want with my media, make ringtones etc without having to pay for it.

  • I want it and I'm gonna get it:)

  • @Pitaboel i was like that when i first saw it

  • Uogh, this is really fast. Awesome!

  • My 3g/EDGE problem wasn't solved by downloading the Android 2.2.

  • does it work on the droid eris

  • The last minutes were a whole bunch of nothing, you skiped a lot

  • The Android OS seems fluid aside from the scrolling, which looks like it needs some work when compared with the iPod Touch or iPhone.

    Is there any way you can request an enhancement feature for upcoming OS updates?

  • What language does it support on this phone?

    Chinese (pingyin)?

  • I was about 2 ask Mr. "Android Central", that since we (Moment) are not getting the 2.2 does that mean that we can't get any higher version when they become available?

  • @fowskate: The Moment not gettin it bro... I got 1 and on alot of sites they say we S.O.L.

  • Comment removed

  • does it have smart dial

  • you guys are way behind im now on 3.0 tiramisu

  • when will 2.2 be available for the moment?

  • I agree APPLE is going to get their ass beat by ANDROID no matter what manufacture makes it. It's better software and phones are better hardware.

  • is froyo even coming to the tmobile g1 its like after 1.6 and after the droid came out they just throw away the g1 and act like it was never important but we were the 1's that were with android and google in the beggining

  • The droid team should add voice recognition to also unlock the phone, anyone agree that would be a cool feature?

  • Under animations, can you change the animations between switching windows or apps?

  • camera software still sucks though, too laggy between picture captures

  • FROYO IS NOW OFFICIAL FOR NEXUS ONE!!! IM SO HAPPY!

  • t mobile FROYO FRF85b is the best use window xp to download

  • when will 2.2 froyo be available to an unrooted desire?

  • See how he's holding it? If he had an iPhone 4 he would have no bars!

    Android FTW!

  • @superNES64 AT&T is the issue, asshole

  • @siliconsurf

    No Siliconsurf, ATT is not the problem. The iPhone 4's antenna shorts out when you touch it. You need to get a plastic bumper to avoid this APPLE problem. Fail for Apple.

  • @1coolguitarman hence the piece of shit plastic body of android phones. sugar coating a piece of shit isn't go to excite anyone...

  • @siliconsurf

    The iPhone4 is made of glass. As everyone knows, glass breaks. How do you protect your iPhone4? A plastic case. The antenna is on the outside of the iPhone4 causing a temporary short circuit and your call is dropped. How do you fix this problem? A plastic case. I work in the lab of a plastics manufacturing company. Plastic is not cheap. Glass is cheap and heavy and breaks much easier than plastic. iPhone4 sucks.

  • @1coolguitarman fiber glass is not cheap

  • @siliconsurf

    I'm not sure what you are talking about. No phone is made from fiberglass. The iPhone's glass is aluminosilicate glass. Also known as safety glass. This is the type of glass that is on the front of your car. A very small pebble from the car in front of you can crack this type of glass.

  • @1coolguitarman i'm going to take an htc phone and shove it so far up your ass, you're going to be spitting plastic, douche.

  • @siliconsurf

    Wasn't the iPhone3g and 3gs made of plastic? I guess that type of plastic must be the good kind...

  • @1coolguitarman I'm going to call you plastic dildo man.

  • @siliconsurf

    iOS4 has turned the iPhone3g into a brick. I guess Stevie wants you to buy his new iPhone4. Its all about money.

  • @1coolguitarman I guess Wong, Wang, and Dong want you to buy their HTC and clone android phones. It's about money and too bad, it's all going overseas to China/Taiwan!

  • @siliconsurf

    Where do you think iPhones are made? In China. The only person making money on iPhones sales in the USA is Stevie. If it were not for Blackberrys and Nokias, there would be no iPhone. The iPhone is a Blackberry and Nokia clone. If it were not for PCs there would be no Mac...another clone.

  • @1coolguitarman yes, iphones are manufactured in taiwan/china, however, the software and designs are done in cupertino, california.

  • @siliconsurf

    Google in located in Mountain View, California. They also have about 30 locations around the USA.

  • @1coolguitarman no shit sherlock. I didn't know we're debating google vs. apple. I thought it was iphone vs. piece of shit android.

  • @siliconsurf iphone suck silicon can it

  • @siliconsurf

    Google owns Android and are located in Mountain View, California.

  • @1coolguitarman i agree with you bro

  • how are we gonna install this to our phone??

  • do you live in pensacola?

  • android ftw

  • Head over to my channel to see the real android 2.2 release by google on my rooted nexus one, over 7 videos, enjoy.

  • @B1GR3DG4M3R sorry , i thought you know more so you can help bye

  • Mr Makey from South Park at 6:16

  • "Same 3D effects, Cool" hahahaha

  • When will this come out for the nexus one?

  • Looks great, but what I'm little worried about is the fact that this video takes 7 minutes, and you can see the battery indicator move during that (just from the beginning to the ends or vice versa and you'll see the difference). I know playing with it takes so power but 7 minutes and you can see the battery indicator move... please...

  • @kdofe I have 2 scenes on my phone, Normal for daily use, and Battery for when I know I can't charge it for a long time. 'Battery' consist of a messages shortcut and nothing else, black background to save power on lights and small things like that :>

    But still, most phones running android should last at least 24 hours before going out with a lot of apps and normal use. If it doesn't, blame your apps

  • @kdofe Were you not watching what he was doing on the phone? He turned the WiFi Hotspot on just before the battery went down. The phone figured he had about x hours of battery remaining, and when he turned on the hotspot, which drains tremendous battery, the phone realized he would have < x hours with that turned on. If he turns it off, the battery indicator will return back up to where it was.

  • hello man my browser is not working after update rest everything is fine can you please help thank you

  • hello man my browser is not working after update rest everything is fine can you please help thank you

  • @B1GR3DG4M3R I actually agree on this. As much as I love the Android OS, they do need something uh...something "magical" that will make the casual, non-tech-geek say "OMG, I need that." Some sort of powerful, brutal "something" that people can't live without. Then again, it might actually happen when the 1st Official Android 2.2 powered device releases. I wanna see who/what will release. (o_O)

  • @B1GR3DG4M3R In about 2 months there will be 3 to 5 new smartphones that will be superior to the iPhone4. Installing Froyo on the HTC Incredible is like installing a big turbo & nitrous in Shelbly Mustang. A friend of mine switched from Verizon to AT&T to get the iPhone4. He signed a family plan with his dad. Now he notices that he gets between 0 ~ 2 bars of service at HOME. Not good. Now he wants to switch back. Oh well.

  • i definately think android will overcome iphone. however iphone is still very strong

  • to everyone arguing for the iphone....it doesn't have flash player, nough said.

  • @walarissa flash ruined myspace. It will ruin your phone too.

  • @sgohara that doesn't even make sense. Everything is flash.

  • @sgohara MySpace ruined MySpace. They don't know how to utilize it. Websites are only as good as their engineers & programmers. Period.

  • @walarissa thats why it sucks

  • @walarissa

    Fuck Apple, Android is the shit, I would hate to be held down and raped by steve jobs. I say that because you can't do anything to iphone customization wise.

  • @whiteshadow001 well said white shadow. Go green with android not red with apple lol

  • @add119

    I'm glad someone see's this too. Apple makes you do everything your way kinda like they're communist's. It's their way or go somewhere else. Well welcome to Android, go ahead customize anything you want, dl custom roms, make it YOUR phone not have the same ringtone as everyone in the same room as you like ifail customers.

  • @whiteshadow001 Yeah i know andy rubin ceo of android is better then steve jobs. Only thing i hate about google is i dont like buying new phone every year they should copy steve jobs and allow us to get update at least for a 2 yrs cycle. Not one year i dont like switching phone and apple user at least dont need to worry about it like we do.

  • @add119 Get a life. Nexus One is the first to receive google updates and I don't see any difference between that and Apple. Oh, there is one. iOS 4.0 runs like crap on iPhone 3G O.O Wow, apple really loves their customers (Sheeps) until they need to use this underhand method to force customers to switch from 3G to 3GS or 4 due to lousy performance of 3G after getting iOS 4.0. =)

  • @walarissa i dont use flash. 

  • @Ne0nLiteZ cuz you don't have it haha!

  • @SloneHermit no? its annoying.

  • @Ne0nLiteZ Just shut the fuck up, Apple sheep.

  • @walarissa And. Who cares!!! Phones doesnt need that!

    Android have features that iPhone dont have, and iPhone have features that Android dont have.

    For example:

    Android doesnt have many good games and apps!

    Thats the only reason i have iPhone. Otherwise I would have bought a Android device.

  • @Dr904 lies! Android has plenty of awesome apps and many of them are FREE

  • @walarissa Who needs flash on a phone :/

    I own a Nexus One btw :p

  • @Sk4zZi0uS have fun with an obsolete paper weight

  • @siliconsurf Not even close to being obsolete but thats your opinion. You say its obsolete but the Nexus One only hit consumers 8 months or so ago in the US and no more than 3 months ago in the UK officially. So far it seems people expect their android devices to only have a 6 month life cycle... so what Im meant to upgrade every 6 months? No chance!

    What phone would you recommend? :)

  • @Sk4zZi0uS I have an iphone and my upgrade cycle is every 2-3 years. the android basically is trying to the cannibalize the smart phone market kinda like what the pc clones did to IBM in the 80's.

  • @siliconsurf Ah I figured as much :) I still wouldn't say the nexus one is obsolete much like I wouldn't say the iPhone 3gs is obsolete. I actually own both the Nexus and an iPhone 4. Both are absolutely amazing devices based on what they do... The nexus makes a very nice wifi hotspot when on the go. I use the iPhone 4 mostly for video and audio (creation) and the nexus for bridging the wifi gap in poor o2 coverage areas. Only really like 2 android phones, the Nexus and the Galaxy S

  • hello in my case the native browser not work for me and says webpage not available where as if i use mini opera its working fine, yes on google nexus one i update to 2.2 froyo please if you can help thanks in advance

  • you should really get a android and ipod touch

    you get the power of android and the apps of iphone :-)

  • @JordanOPGS It's the same with me. I love my iPod Touch. I get the best of both worlds.

  • Still not as good as the iPhone... sad. Maybe 3.0 will even look acceptable.

  • So... I noticed you didn't talk through the whole video, only at post-prod :O

    I can't wait for my Nexus One! I hope it comes with Froyo :3

  • i want deder's #!!

  • very very cool.... my nexus one will be here monday!

  • @chevyvan10 Did you get your Nexus One yet?

  • Yet another excellent video from AndroidCentral. You guys are great!

  • I wonder if my sprint hero will be updated to froyo. I think sense 2.2 would be Hella cool!!

  • only if you use a custom rom

  • how did he get the slide to unlock/??

  • should i download this rom onto my htc hero(CDMA version)???????? HELP cause im debating if i should stay with my 2.1 or move to 2.2 froyo

  • I don't like having my voice. So we'll turn that off :D

  • Can my HTC Desire android 2.1 update to android 2.2 ?

  • @ssnake11 That's up to HTC. HTC said that every phone from 2010, so including the Desire, will get the update this year. But looking back at the Hero update, it might be 2011. You'll just have to wait and see.
