Nexus S, Nexus One receive SMS redirection bug fix builds

he users who have long suffered with a random SMS addressing bug that has gathered a lot of attention lately may soon see fixes. Both the recently introduced Samsung Nexus S on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the HTC Nexus One on Android 2.2 (Froyo) have seen minor updates this weekend that reportedly fix the bug.

The Nexus One gets an update from Android 2.2.1 (FRG83D) to Android 2.2.2 (FRG83G). Meanwhile, the Nexus S receives an update to 2.3.2. Both updates are bug fix updates, and both fix the SMS redirection bug.

Of course, those on other devices will still be affected, until a similar patch rolls to their device. It's unclear if this patch will break the ability to root a patched device.
