Android 2.3.6 is being sent out to the Google Nexus S and packs voice search fix
Share:
Well folks, Google is pushing out Android 2.3.6 to the Nexus S as we speak, but more importantly, it squashes that one specific annoying bug. Additionally, the software update packs along a few other security patches that should iron out most of its kinks. Besides those two items, Google doesn’t specify if there are anything else new included with it.
Naturally, don’t be alarmed if you don’t see the update hitting your smartphone right now seeing that it’s being rolled out over the course of the next few days. But if you’re impatient, you can also attempt initiating the process manually by checking for updates under the Android settings menu.

Didn't Google have a meeting with all the cell providers and told them that these Android updates need to be in a much more timely manner? The original Galaxy S phones, which I have the Captivate, still aren't updated to 2.3 yet!!! Oh well... in another 2 weeks I'll be snuggling up to the GS2 lol. The only thing that makes me nervous with another Samsung phone is how poorly they support it with updates.

My Nexus S with AT&T Bands from Best Buy is still on 2.3.4 and has no new software updates at all, what is the reasoning for this?

Same nothing as of yet. I am on a Nexus S on At and t btw.
However, some are saying that this update is breaking tethering. If that is important to you than you may want to hold off. To me tethering I may never use so I may just update but not sure yet.
Also if you only want the google voice search update go on android market and pick it up by itself.

I thought tethering was already broken with 2.3.5, not this new update...
however, i'm still waiting for mine on Sprint...as of 8:11pm Saturday night
