Google android 2.3 'Gingerbread' update for Nexus One soon

The first generation Google smartphone to get the latest Operating system

Google stated that an update to the firm's first smartphone from the Nexus range would provide Android 2.3 'Gingerbread'.
In the twitter update, GoogleNexus said that "The Gingerbread OTA for Google android nexus one can happen in the coming weeks. Just hang tight!."

The firm's new Nexus S phone includes Android 2.3 as standard however the first generation HTC-made Nexus One is really a popular reference device for Google android developers, preparing the impetus to roll out of the latest Operating system update.

With Android 2.3, Google focused entirely on performance and tools for game development saying that while using update the firm was "taking gaming to the next level."

Yet another performance boost develops from a technical feature Google call concurrent garbage collection to the Dalvik virtual machine. This new process was designed to minimise pauses in apps, aid smooth animation and facilitate smooth UI effect.

Google have significantly beefed in the development framework for writing native apps, that is to say code compiled directly for that ARM CPU rather then Java.

Native development is one area for Android platform improvement which the platform has been in sore necessity of in order to contend with the iPhone in games efficiency.

Google android 2.3 also contains the near field communication technologies, adds assist for SIP protocol VOIP phones and also the AAC audio and WebM video formats.

Unlocked retail Google nexus one handsets will be likely to see the update first, although usual sorts of delays will affect network-branded versions in the phone.

Google's Nexus hansets can be unlocked by user whenever they get tired with waiting for Android 2.3, they are able to always have the stock Google one and flash it for the phone.

The Nexus One's Android 2.3 Gingerbread update promised 'in next weeks'

Wow! The Google android Nexus one are certain to get its over-the-air Gingerbread update in a few weeks, based on the GoogleNexus Twitter account. In a few weeks?!? This means we have to repeatedly hit the program update button starting now, right? RIGHT?!?!

We understand, Patience isn't your strong suit. But an appealing thing happened while the Android 2.3 code was launched last week: Google said the AOSP code cannot only be compiled and slapped to a working build to the Nexus One and also the Nexus S. Of course, that did not stop anybody, and we have had builds running since last Friday night and several of them are getting pretty good. But let us give the youngsters at Google a little time to obtain things correct (and, perhaps, enjoy their holidays?) just before pushing any more code, m'kay?
 

LG Optimus One Android Gingerbread update declined

LG claims hardware restrictions prevent FroYo phone from getting Gingerbread one, Google suggests to differ.

Just 48 hours after its debut, the rollout of Android Gingerbread has already been beginning to cause issues for Google. Using a Nexus One update still “a few weeks” away according to one dev, now LG has stepped in and said its Optimus One won’t to have to make the move to Android 2.3.

The reason why? It says Gingerbread needs a minimum 1GHz processor, and also the Optimus One has a 600MHz number inside. Based on LG’s official Facebook page in the united states, “…it’s impossible to update the processor, unfortunately”.

Except, it appears, LG’s fibbing. Android boss Dan Morrill accepted Twitter using this barbed comment: “Random note: there’s no hard minimum processor desire for Gingerbread. Trust me, if there were I’d know”. Ouch.
So, it appears, the problems mobile makers experienced with getting Android FroYo onto old devices looks set to keep with Gingerbread. Is Google releasing so many updates? Or do handset mavens have to get their act together?

The Photos of LG P990 Super Smartphone Surface

The some snaps of the LG P990, the first Android based smartphone able of competing with the HTC Desire HD or SE X10  have appeared online.

The Photos that could be found on Androidforums.com show the LG Optimus Star in full information from what we know it'll come with a WVGA capacitive touchscreen and like the Advent Vega,will come with the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor which is a dual-core processor model.

It does not come with a kick stand on the back being used as a photo frame but it should come with Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread a HDMI port an eight-megapixel camera with flash, microSD support, the option to record full HD videos and a front facing camera.

An early benchmark result shows that it's significantly quicker than the Motorola Droid, the Galaxy S or the Nexus One and the gap is probable to grow even additional as the final version is shipped to the marketplace in the first quarter of 2011

Android Honeycomb Gets Caught Tinkering With The Performance Tests

Excellent news, everybody! Google's going to keep working on Android behind the upcoming Gingerbread (v2.3) release! Oh, we know that?


They are most likely going to codename the next build Honeycomb! Oh, we knew that too?

Here is one you possibly did not know: an early build (or 2) of Honeycomb just got spotted in several logs whilst someone (presumably a Google engineer) was testing its Adobe AIR performance.

A little of backstory: Android can run Adobe AIR apps. Adobe developed a tool called AirBenchmark which lets customers test just how well AIR runs on their respective Android handset and send those consequences back to Adobe, so that they know which handsets require work.

From there, we presently gotta dig roughly the results history page to surface some interesting gems. Take this one, e.g. it's at smallest amount according to the data pulled from the handset's ROM, a build of Honeycomb running on a Nexus One. There are at least 2  added builds of Honeycomb in there, also running on the Nexus One.

So what can we collect from this? Fine, it appears like at least one person at Google has Honeycomb up and running on their device but in fact, we possibly could have assumed as much. But, that they are testing it on the Nexus One is excellent news -at least for Nexus One owners. The Nexus One is most probably going to stop getting updates finally but currently,it does not look like Gingerbread will be its last.

Is Gingerbread the Code Name of Android 2.3?

If you're already knew that a lot of rumors saying that Gingerbread is a code name from Android 3.0. But now the rumors that have been changed, the current rumor says that Gingerbread is the code name of the Android 2.3. This information is supported by several pictures featuring the Gingerbread men with a message “Our cafes are baking something sweet”. 

There is also possibility that at Web 2.0 Summit this week Gingerbread will be announced.

Some of the advantages - Android 2.3:

• Improve the copy and paste feature
• Support - The video chat
