Gingerbread 2.3.6 update for Nexus One.

Gingerbread 2.3.6 update notification popped up on my Nexus One last night. Well to be honest, I am not sure when the notification arrived since I had not used the Nexus One for more than a week. According to the message on the Nexus One:

This OTA update will upgrade your device to Gingerbread 2.3.6. It contains important bug fixes and security updates.

Initially I was not able to update the phone because the internal storage was somewhat full. I had to move some applications to the SD card and uninstall some of them.

A quick query on Google, apparently some Nexus One owners are getting the update within the past week.

Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 for Nexus One.

I had the Nexus One off most of Tuesday evening. I turned it on 20 minutes ago and saw the update notification.

I was hoping for some new features for the Nexus One, unfortunately those new features are available only for Nexus S.

Speaking of which, I am using numbers of phones on AT&T network including an iPhone and Nexus One. I was thinking about getting a Nexus S and found out that there’s one that is compatible with AT&T network.

Woohoo! Installing Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread on My Nexus One.

After a seemingly long wait that is actually a long wait I finally got the notification: Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Over The Air update on my Nexus One.

After 43.6 MB of download later, my Nexus One started the installation.

  • Android version: 2.3.3
  • Build number: GRI40

The timing is pretty impecable as Apple has just released iOS 4.3 GM to Developers.
