Verizon Confirms Second Android 2.2 Update Coming for Motorola Droid, Will Bring Flash 10.1

by Kevin Krause on August 12th, 2010 at 3:47 pm

Almost since the FRG01B firmware began rolling out to bring the Motorola Droid to Android 2.2 we have been hearing murmurs of a second firmware, this one called FRG22. The question of whether FRG22 was a bug-fixed version of the Froyo update was answered when the halted FRG01B update resumed as normal, with no sight of the newer firmware. Now we have an e-mail being sent out to Verizon Wireless business subscribers confirming a second update that will follow the first Android 2.2 firmware. This second update will make it possible to download the official release of Adobe Flash for mobile.

adobeflashfrg22

Is this second update the mysterious FRG22? Well, we can’t say for sure with the information we have been given, but it seems this might be likely. We heard that the first round of updating should wrap up by the 18th of August, and that seems like a plausible date for the second round of firmware to start hitting handsets considering Adobe is nipping at the heels of the official release of Flash 10.1.

[Thanks to Christian for sending this in!]

Motorola Droid

4.5 / 5 stars

Maybe they’ll release 2.2 for the DX at the same time. Boy, that should would be nice. *rolls eyes*
herse182
How about announcing FroYo updates for the rest of your line VZW? Quit treating the Incredible like a red-headed step child (minor pun intended).
Charles94
I thought that flash would come with the 2.2 update. Now after when I get the 2.2 update I will still have to wait for the thing that I wanted in the first place. Must have it this way now because they think people will want a choice between no flash or flash.
DanaS
Betcha the tethering option quietly disappears under the hoopla of Flash 10.1 in the additional upgrade. No big deal since there are other apps to take care of that. :)
Lucas
Why would they do this? Flash works on the Droid, that’s obvious by people who have installed the beta. The reason no one can find it in the market is because it isn’t officially released to the market. I would think once Adobe does that you could just pick it up in the market, so I don’t see the point for a second update.

I have the FGR22 build and the tethering is there.

Hello Verizon, are you EVER going to stop leaving your Droid incredible owners hanging?

No 2.2 for me either.

Still no OTA update from 2.1 for me either. Moto Droid. Wilmore, Kentucky. 10:52 PM EST 8-12-10. :-(
n
http://www.droid-life.com/downloads/ go there and as long as you have the first ota for the droid you can get the flash 10.1 beta
droid
@neurad, it is worth the wait. I took the plunge and manually upgraded my droid and I’m regretting it because now i could not get my 3g signal to work and my wifi comes on and off sporadically.
Denny
For everyone with a “HTC” Droid Incredible Verizon is not the one who makes the update for your phone it’s HTC and being since they are so set on having sense on top of the operating system this is what is causing your update to take forever. It’s not Verizon it’s HTC they are the ones who suck.
xCirca
@ Lucas, are you daft? That is not the only thing that is alleged with the new update. Many people- including my self- are having issues with FroYo 2.2 that was released, and all the indicators point to this being the ‘official’ 2.2 update where as the first OTA 2.2 was more of a time buyer.
andrew
@droid
i did the manual update and my wifi connection is better than ever, and no 3g issues. with the frg01b update, ymmv apparently
shersher
In California…still waiting for my FROYO!

If u still don’t have update from OTA – post your city, state. If u r lucky and got it, please do the same (add when u got it).
Maybe we can get some idea of the rollout areas. Still no update in Wilmore, KY. 8-13-10 2:22 AM EST
william
In Georgia and still waiting for the initial update as well.
klatuu
Nada for Indiana either.
Neurad1
I live in bham, al, but am currently in upstate ny. Have not received any OTA updates since 2.1
mr t
@Denny:
It has nothing to do with coding for Sense anymore. If you missed it, 3 days ago HTC released the official 2.2 source code for both EVO and the Incredible, which means the update is DONE for both. For some reason though, they pushed out the OTA long ago for EVO and not for the DI.

I feel that FRG22 just has updates to the exchange bugs that people have been complaining about. It sounds like Moto hasn’t perfected it yet for Exchange. We had seen the post before on this site about Moto giving away free licenses for Touchdown Exchange. It would make sense since they are giving the notice to business users first…
derrickISONLINE
I’m more annoyed that Motorola didn’t bring Android 2.2 to the Droid X out the gate. To think I could have had Froyo on my original Droid. Ah the perils of being an early adopter. :)
CJ
Another day and no ota…bucks county, PA.
Shinzakura
No update here in Washington DC
Denny
@ mr t
Yeah I saw what I am trying to get across to people is that HTC is the ones that make and release the update to Verizon. I am just getting tired of people feeling like “the red headed step child” because HTC just released the update.
I have a Moto Droid and still haven’t received the update in Orlando FL.

No froyo here in Michigan north of Detroit. Bought a used Droid yesterday from a Verizon employee upgrading to the DROID2 and the used Droid has Frito. She said she got it Wednesday night. Rep at Verizon. Store said it wasn’t out yet til she looked at the phone! The other Rep said it was rolling out today. Still tapping my foot waiting!!

Doctor Purple
Impatient in northeast Ohio, was told in September 2009 that the Droids my wife & I bought would have an upgrade to Flash Player by the end of March. Here it is August of 2010 nearly A YEAR LATER and STILL no Flash or even 2.2. Shouldn’t we have received it by now since we were one of the first Droid buyers?
M R
My biz partner got it earlier this week but nothing for mine yet (purchased at the same time in Denver). Hell, I’d be happy if they’d fix the 3-way calling problem.

I manually updated to 2.2 and it works great. Still not able to download adobe flash though and its very disappointing
Anthony
I was having the same problem with my 3G disconnecting last nights about 1030pm. I did the factory reset so all my contacts apps so forth came back. I didn’t however get to reactivate my phone till I drove down the street and finally picked up the 3G signal. Once reactivated my account of google on droid it was then the update was being downloaded OTA. I don’t know if this is what was causing me to lose my signal sporadically but to be honest the whole process I went through last night was a total pain in the butt. Nonetheless I now have 2.2 on my momoto droid. Still doesn’t have flash since supposedly there is a second update for this. I have been a droid user since day 1 back in Nov of 2009 and really am disappointed it has taken this long based on why I was buying it in the first place. Just hope I won’t have to go through the whole process again for the second update and that I won’t have to wait for another 9-10 months. Akron, OH updated around 11:30 pm Fri Aug 13th 2010.
impatient
No update in north central Montana yet. This is worse than waiting for Christmas.

I still haven’t received the first initial update on my Droid. still running 2.1. Why is it taking so long? Dallas, TX 1:21pm

Still no upgrade to 2.2 just outside of Lexington, KY … 8/14/10 5:50pm EST.
I have a feeling it will be the 18th… ughhhh
Pretty sure those claiming to have flash on some sites actually are just noticing animated .gif files…you can go grab the beta for flash, but it isn’t coming with this 2.2 OTA update so far from everything I’ve read.

Still no upgrade to 2.2 Oklahoma City, ok

Jay
Droid User here
I got the update this morning at 2:00 am 8/15/10, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Could’nt sleep, was reading an article about the difference between the Droid and the Droid 2 when the update came.
A window popped up and said that your phone will update ,you wont be able to use it to make calls,etc…
It took about 5 minutes to download and another 5 to install then it turned on and off.
Now i have a better 3g signal than i ever had,getting 3 and 4 bars average.
Still disapointed that it didnt have Flash with it.
But i beleive that its worth the wait to get the update over the air instead of doing it yourself.
My Droid feels like a new phone. I dont even regret not waiting for the Droid 2. (got my new Droid about 3 weeks ago,from wirefly.com for free when i upgraded to a family plan and gave my old Droid to my sister)
She didnt get the update yet.

If I manually updated to 2.2, will I get the second ota? Please I’m worried

I’m still waiting here in Torrington,CT. I’m more than p-o’d.Wtf if they would at least let you know when.I check about 10 times a day.I wake up at night to take a leak and check.It’s like Verizon is getting their rocks off toying w/ us.I’m afraid to do it myself as I’ve read some people are very sorry they didn’t wait.If I don’t get it by the 18th I don’t know what I’ll do.My friend also is going nuts along w/ my 2 nieces.How can all of us not get it and all these other people have gotten theirs?How long does it take to bill us?Why should it take longer for Froyo?

As far as I’m concerned, I’m one pissed off mofo over this effin update. Still to this moment nothing nada not a damn thing. I guess this is what I get for being stupid and over-paying for this piece of crap droid way to go vzw and google I hope you guys choke on the money I gave you bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blak
Still no go right outside of Lexington, KY.
However, I spoke with Verizon and they said it should be coming any day now. They said that Motorola is doing the rolling OTA updates and they are getting sent out extremely randomly…. those are pretty much their exact words. I am pretty sure Motorola gave the update to Verizon to do this… but whatever. The random part seems to definitely be true.
I would not be surprised at all if the majority of Moto Droids are updated on the 18th. The ones before that… just lucky I guess… (They probably just released to some to see how it went then they go full throttle if it looks OK).
Max
Where is my FROYO!?!?!?!???!?!? Still waiting in Connecticut and there is no sign of anything!!! I can’t wait for my froyo. We have ct in the house here and ct needs froyo ASAP!!!!!!!
C’mon Verizon!!!!!

My friend who got her Droid two months ago got the update 3 days ago; I got my Droid last December, and I’m still waiting. We live close to each other in NYC, so it isn’t geographic. Is it when you bought the phone that determines when you get the update? So annoying.

I keep reading that it should be done by the 18th of August…hmmmm. I’m hoping I get Froyo between now and then. It’s getting closer and closer to the 18th…ugh!

N – N/A – N/A – Southern Maryland – 301 – P
tom
Aug 17, 9:53 am, northern Chicago suburb – also no update yet.
Johann Appleseed
I got my 2.2 two days ago… wife still hasn’t gotten hers. The update is nice, but there ARE glitches. YouTube hardly works on my Motorola Droid… Videos start playing, then crash. The Gallery has been overhauled, but it acts a little strangely right now… Deleted images sometimes won’t go away in the Gallery after deleting them. Also, playing videos starts with a blank, black screen… stays like that for several seconds, then plays the video.
There are a bunch of other, small issues popping up, but overall the phone seems faster, and I have not noticed a reduction is battery life at all.
Of course, Adobe Flash didn’t come with the update…. I’m looking forward to that.
This update needs some amendments… fast, because the YouTube dysfunction really, really sucks.
TJ
I got mine at 12:20 AM on the 16th. It does NOT go by area, and it does NOT matter when you bought the phone. The update is rolled out based on the ESN number. You people should really quit freaking out over this update. Its not even a major update, the main feature being added is Flash, something that should have been on the phone at launch.
JMJAEB
Mount Airy, MD
Got mine yesterday but didn’t get flash. Been watching videos on youtube for those that got the second update and it looks awesome, but I got the FRG01B one and it doesn’t have flash or the wifi hotspot option. Baby steps I guess.

I talked with the people at the Verizon store here in sykesville MD. They said that the update is being sent to 10000people at a time randomly and they wont be done sending the update out till next month. My question is are we going to have to wait this long for the second update?

Per the previous msg:
—-
I talked with the people at the Verizon store here in sykesville MD. They said that the update is being sent to 10000people at a time randomly and they wont be done sending the update out till next month.
—-
Are you kidding me? 10,000 per what time frame? If they sold over a million Droid 1 units, how long would that take? 100 hours? 100 days? Who came up with this stupid update plan?
Why couldn’t they have teamed up with Google to have a website that people could have had the choice to ‘pull’ the update, as opposed to getting a ‘push’. That would have eliminated a lot of frustration. Verizon needs a new marketing director – that’s for sure!

i got the OTA around 730pm. im in buffalo ny. its now 1047. it updated, downloaded with the picture of a droid with an arrow pointing at it. it turned off, then on. it just sits there with the white motorola symbol. is my hone [freak]ed up? i remember 2.1 being quite quick.
i was with my friend and he got a text saying “fist pump like a champ” from my number, but my phone is just sitting there with the symbol. my other friend would have sent a text like that. why did it say i sent it??? odd.

I just received my update. NEWS FLASH -> If you have “Advanced Task Killer” Uninstall it, then check for updates. I did that, and the FROYO update was available. It downloaded and installed with no problems. Uninstalling ATK does work. I have read other forums where other Droid users resolved the No FROYO problem the same way. Enjoy your FROYO.

A watched phone never updates. I left it alone for a few hours and I came back to find it ready to install the update. It’s nearly 1am on the 20th in Mass but I finally have it!

I don’t care about flash. I bought a DX to VPN to my corp network for server control, and PPTP VPN doesn’t work. Get THAT fixed. Works fine on older droids.

Listen friends don’t be so anxious for the 2.2 update. I have the Droid 2, with 2.2, and my wife has the HTC Incredible, with 2.1, and my phone has tons of issues compared to her phone. I just downloaded another update for 2.2 and I downloaded it tonight and hopefully it will help fix the issues. By the was do NOT use Advance Task Killer with 2.2 it drains the phone and isn’t necessary because 2.2 manages the phones apps fine. I am guessing but I think Google is waiting to fix a few of the major issues before giving other users the update. Trust me wait until they fix 2.2 it will be worth the wait.

I have had so many issues with froyo since I got it! So frustrated, it force closes all the time now, always says I have more updates then I do, those are just a few. Why send this out if it has so many bugs? Also what does it mean if your phone is bricked? I want flash and I want my bugs fixed! Is that to much to ask???
