Nexus S Receives 2.3.6 OTA Update to Fix Search Bug

Posted on by

Google has finally released a bug fix release to Nexus S users who have been experiencing the random search screen bug that was reported back in April.  The new update 2.3.6 is now being rolled out that includes this fix but it isn’t known what other fixes are included.  Previous Nexus S users (but not the Nexus S 4G) were on 2.3.4.

Paul from Google reported that the update may take a few days before everyone receives it.

Update: It looks like Google disabled the tethering/wi-fi hotspot feature for all Nexus phones with this update.  Previously, only the AT&T sold version had this feature disabled.

Lenovo Launches IdeaPad A1 Tablet Starting at $199

Posted on by

Looking to find a niche in the Android tablet market, Lenovo has announced the 7 inch IdeaPad A1 Tablet running Gingerbread.

There will be 3 models starting at $199 for the 8GB (16GB $249, 32 $299). Unfortunately, only the 2 more expensive models will be making it to the United States.

Connectivity is limited to WiFi, but GPS will be included as well. Front and back cameras will available however with the back camera being 3MP.

While the lack of Honeycomb (and most likely never getting upgraded to it either) may be a turn off to some. For $199, this could be a great entry level tablet.
