Download Nexus One OTA Update Manually – Enables MultiTouch (Pinch to Zoom) for Maps, Gallery, Browser!

3 February 2010 3 Comments

Google relents finally! Today (Feb 2, 2010) seems to be an update day for both Apple and Google. Apple released 3.1.3 firmware for both the iPhone/iPod Touch variants which doesn’t have a lot of functionality but sure breaks few things like Jailbreak and Unlocking capabilities.

Google, on the other hand released an awesome, feature packed over the air update for the Nexus One which makes more sense now.

Manually Install the OTA Update for Nexus One :

If you are impatient and don’t want to wait for Google to bless your device with an OTA update, you may as well download it directly!

Once you download the zip file, rename it to update.zip and install it from the Recovery Console.

Google’s official statement can be read here.

Updates of Interest :

Pinch to Zoom enabled for the Browser, Maps, Gallery

Night Mode for Navigation (Maps)

3G Reception improvement
