Android 2.2 Froyo in Galaxy S Samsung Movistar
Little by little we see as operators and manufacturers are doing their word when updating their terminals to the latest versions of fragmented Google operating system, Android, and specifically to its latest version extended Froyo Android 2.2.
Now, Movistar users that once were made with the successful Samsung S Galaxy, are the lucky ones to receive this update. Already seen how a few weeks ago were the Vodafone users who were lucky enough to try it (somewhat paradoxical situation considering that Movistar was the first operator to launch the Samsung S Galaxy in Spain).
Recall how to install and do a review of its innovations.
To install any update, the Samsung S Galaxy uses an application called Samsung Kies, available on its official website, and compatible computers with Windows OS (the version of MacOSX is still in development).
The process is as simple as installing Samsung Kies, connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, wait for it to install and configure the necessary drivers, and finally, access to the section on “Update Firmware” Samsung Kies, we indicate the steps to complete the process.
We must remember that this step is the most sensitive of all and is very important not to disconnect or the USB cable or the computer in the course of it, for your Samsung Galaxy S may be damaged.
The list of enhancements for Android 2.2 Froyo in Galaxy Samsung Movistar S can be summarized in the following characteristics:
* The implementation of Dalvik virtual machine with JIT functions significantly increasing system speed.
* Automatic update in some applications of the Market.
* Support for Adobe Flash 10.1.
* Zoom making the gesture “pinch” with your fingers.
* Fix problems in the GPS.
* MP4 Video Recording
* Improved Exchange support
* Ability to use your phone as a 3G wireless modem, tethering feature called (though not if Movistar will use this function without charging extra fees)
We hope your impressions after installing the update.
