Google has quietly sent out a fresh update for its Nexus S smartphone, which has just seen the light of day in the US and UK. The first Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread update comes Over The Air as reported by XDA-Developers Forum member Rocketragz. The Nexus S gets updated from GRH55 to GRH78 that weighs 1.9MB.
The update brings the latest version of Google Maps on the Nexus S. Maybe some 3D layers would've been added to the Google Maps app on the phone. Apart from that, the update brings some other important bug fixes. The software update text states:
This system update from Google contains important bug fixes and the latest version of Maps.
Nexus S owners who haven't received the update yet, try the force checkin method that may fetch you this update. Just open the dialer and feed in *#*#checkin#*#* code to dial. Once it succeeds, you should get the software update notification on the top of your screen.
As of now, I don't know if it hampers the rooted Nexus S. Google itself announced that the company was fine with users rooting the device for gaining more control over the Android OS.
Nexus S isn't officially available in India, but just in case anyone in India had got the update, do share the screenshots
