FRG01B to FRG22 !!!!!!!!

I am running 01B and was wondering........

If I d/l the 74mb FRG22 update can I rename it to update.zip and then apply it to my phone? As it would be done to apply the 01B d/l...

Will this work and update me to FRG22 or am I mistaken. I am not wanting to root my phone....want to keep it stock..Thanks

It looks like the official release will be FRG01b so Verizon won't be supporting the newer FRG22. FRG22 is slightly faster but other than that, they're pretty much the same so you're probably better off sticking with 01b if you want to remain stock.

The only method I know of to get to FRG22 is with access to root (but I certainly don't know everything). Where did you get the FRG22 download?

docholliday

Can't remember where.....searched on Google...

docholliday

I thought I saw that FRG22 was official....going to be rolling out tomorrow... Am I wrong..Anybody have more info??

PJNC284

It was rumored that they were going to switch to the FRG22 as the official update but that doesn't look like the case since people are getting 01b now.

docholliday

Hopefully they will send the patch to upgrade to FRG22.

I am having the home screen freeze issue that others are talking about....

and my battery was going quick but that seems to have fixed itself....maybe the facebbok update fixed it??

besides that 2.2 is great and I love it....

You may want to try ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. The stock launcher is worthless.

There is now an update available that will allow non-rooted phones to run FRG22.

Non-rooted, my OS version.

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband Version: C_01.43.01P

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g874c292 android-build@apa26 #1

Build Number: FRG22D

Just me being skeptical, but you got a pic or something as proof? Maybe a link would be nice too.

I've seen a bunch of pics with rooted phones running FRG22, and from what I've read in most forums, this build actually fixes a lot of the issues present in FRG01B.

It's kinda funny, but my phone's performance has been improving day by day. There are some bugs that show up from time to time (like Twitter... dunno if that's been fixed yet) but overall it's been great. I think the only reason one would want FRG22 is to be able to see Flash 10.1 in the market... I think.

PJNC284

Why are you skeptical? The manual update is already available and the OTA is supposed to be rolling out now.

As for fixing issues, 22D isn't going to do much as it's only 1.3MB in size. The only thing it does is make Flash visible in the market and adds a couple security changes for activesync

dmad1rulz

Heh... can you blame me? One can't believe everything they read out there nowadays.

But yeah, after looking at a few forums, looks like this is official. Since it's such a minor update, I think I'll wait for the OTA.

Zoner

Do you happen to know the details of the security issues being updated with Active Sync with this upgrade?

unknown

I downloaded and installed it yesterday. No issues.

jasnmar

OK, horrible picture, sorry. The only other camera that I have here is the webcam, so I just held the camera in front of it and did a screen capture.

I had a small issue after the update with Exchange mail not pushing anymore. Deleted my account and re-created it, now it seems to be working fine.

I downloaded and installed the patch last night. Installed the release version of Flash. I have not noticed any difference at all verses the FRG01B. The beta of Flash work perfectly for me. The only persistant issues my Droid has are the random dropping of WiFi and the black screen after a phone call ends. Both seem to be happening with less frecuency since the first upgrade, FRG01B.

eddiejt

FRG22D is already rolling out OTA. I got it last night. It is the official final release of 2.2. It's a very small file that doesn't overwrite the FRG01. It installs over it so you can see the flash player in the market. Although, Beta version works fine and it's a much smaller file.

RMNewman

Thx... I don't have a task killer and my settings about phone. Shows 2.1.1 installed and software is up to date. Do you think I have a problem with no OTA 2.2 yet? Or is it still being pushed out?

dwilli337

We have at least 5 users that have reported upgrading to FRG22D and now there exchange email will not sync. Tried recreating the account and hard reset on the phone and nothing is working. This stinks, users think it is an exchange issue when its not!

DaveGX

Hmm....well I'm stil stuck on FRG01B and still no sign of FRG22 OTA. I wonder just how many people actually received this OTA as opposed to the manual update, I'm on the east coast. If the update supposedly has already been rolled out, any idea if it was specified as to how long it'd take to reach our phones for those of us still waiting on it OTA?

docholliday

Man this thread took off after the 22D patch came out!!! Thanks for all thegreat comments..

I manually updated to the FRG01B then to the FRG22.....waited and waited for the patch till I got tired and finally manually installed the 22D patch..As most have said I have noticed nothing different with the 22D. I still have the lag when going back to my home screen at times and my battery life still is the same (take it off charge at @ 6 am and it goes into red at @ 10pm same day with what I call normal use)..

I guess we had better be happy with what we have now...being that there are no more scheduled updates for the Moto Droid 1... :robotsad:

FYI - I was having trouble with corporate exchange email (Andriod email app would abort) after the upgrade to 22D. Reflashed the phone at a Verizon store only to have the same thing recur. Apparently, the fix is to get a replacement phone, which is now needing to be mailed due to demand. We'll see how that goes - odd that a h/w replacement is required.

Hey, i was having the same problem with my exchange crapping out after the update, force closing and everything. One of the other forums suggested "improved email". Seems to be the same basic email client but it works!!! Only annoying thing is that I have to enter a pin now as part of the security settings to get my exchange email. Anyway... At least I have email back until they fix this screw up (and the app was free)
