Nexus One Official Update

[herki]

I don't know if we'll ever know why Google didn't support multitouch in the states. I'm betting it had something to do with trying to stay on good terms with Apple. I bet tensions may be rising between the two, or Apple felt that they didn't need the multitouch edge to stay competitive any more.

Still, we can only speculate.

I'll overlook 6tr6tr's inability to link to AndroidCentral's coverage the update -- he said smiling -- and instead show you that you can manually update your N1.

For those that can't wait XDA leaked the update.

Gracias!

Forced the update and all went well. It's strange I never really use the multi touch on my iPhone but for whatever reason I'm digging it on the Nexus.

Older models?

Sorry meant to say older phones

Lucky Nexus One owners .. us Droid owners are chomping at the bit without multi-touch.

Hi guys, I dont live in the states, but I got the phone, I?m I going to get the update or I have to go manual? Thanks.

Other question, I got ebuddy installed, but it does not let me change the avatar, is this possible? because I read that you should be able to do it.
Thanks

Multi-touch is as smooth as silk! Also, the scrolling in the browser is significantly faster in this update!!

Yeah the video made me sad cause my Mytouch doesn't have it Works so much smoother than the other ROMs that have it.

Question: I have the HTC Eris and in my browser, I can pinch to zoom in and out. Is this multitouch and if so, why would the Eris have it with 1.5 before the N1 that has a newer version?

The eris has the htc ui layered over android, and the htc ui has multi touch enabled.

Can't recall if this has been posted but, did this update fix the 3G issue?

My experiences show in some locations where I'd drop to edge, I now maintain 3g, albeit at low bars.

Other places where I was optimistic to see an increase (elevators, other closed spaces) I did not -- Looks like that's just on T-Mobile.

I still haven't gotten this update. How long does it generally take to push out to everyone?

 

[MaxLaw]

Huh?

Now all I want is the touchscreen fix.

My Nexus One works just fine--touchscreen included. What's up with yours that software could fix?

Should be by the end of the week but you can always manually update yourself.

For those of you who got the update, is mult-touch now supported in the soft keyboard?

It already supports MT from 2.0

Sadly, it is not.

The Nexus One was never on 2.1 as it shipped with 2.1 and no multi touch is not supported within the keyboard.
