Nexus S Receives 2.3.6 OTA Update to Fix Search Bug
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.
Google Introduces +1 Chrome Extension
Google has quietly (no fanfare) released an extension on the Chrome Web Store. This release comes with no announcement from any of Google’s official channels.
However, it does offer a great way to “+1″ a website without the website having to embed their own version of the button. As of yet, there is no way to share the +1 to your circles.
This extension does raise some privacy concerns:
… by installing this extension, all of the pages and URLs you visit will be sent to Google in order to retrieve +1 information.
That may raise a few eyebrows that even sites that aren’t don’t get the +1 treatment will still be sent to Google for their data collection.
For now the extension only works on Chrome, but it should be ported to other browsers in the future.
