Upgrading to Android 2.3...how does it work?!?




Jessica Fu


Ok, so i've got TONS of questions, but here it goes:

1.) If, for example, I buy the LG Revolution, will you be able to upgrade it straight from the phone you already have, or do you have to buy the newer version that comes with the 2.3 ?

2.) What are the differences?

3.) Will it cost anything to upgrade? If so, how much?



Answer
The LG Revolutions is sold with Froyo 2.2, and is immediately upgradeable to Gingerbread 2.3.

Differences between Gingerbread and Froyo are:

System: Updated user interface design for simplicity and speed
Display: Support for extra-large screen sizes and resolutions (WXGA and higher)
Internet calling: Native support for SIP VoIP telephony
Virtual Keyboard: Faster, more intuitive text input, improved accuracy, better suggested text. Voice input mode
Copy/Paste: Enhanced. Select a word by press-hold, copy, and paste.
Near Field Communication lets the user read an NFC tag embedded in a poster, sticker, or advertisement.
New audio effects such as reverb, equalization, headphone virtualization, and bass boost
System: Improved power management with a more active role in managing apps that are keeping the device awake for too long.
Download Manager gives the user easy access to any file downloaded from the browser, email, or another application.
Camera: Access multiple cameras on the device, including a front-facing camera, if available.
Media: Support for WebM/VP8 video playback, and AAC audio encoding
System: Enhanced support for native code development
Audio, graphical, and input enhancements for game developers
Concurrent garbage collection for increased performance
Native support for more sensors (such as gyroscopes and barometers)
Switched from YAFFS to the ext4 filesystem

The update is free. You just need an internet connection. Try asking for help in updating the phone immediately after buying ir for assurance.

Is there a way to 'split audio' from my headphones and HDMI outputs?

For example, have a video playing on a tv via HDMI and have the audio come out of the tv, and play a video game on my laptop and have the audio come out my laptop's headphones/speakers?
Another way of putting it would be assign programs to different audio outputs.

Is that possible or is there a program that allows this?



Answer
No, you can't have multiple audio outs on the same device without extra hardware - it's not designed for that. Well, except possibly for virtualization, and even then I expect the process to be finicky at best.
