Build 9a5259f AKA iOS 5 Beta 3 was released to developers today which is the newest iOS version for iPad, iPhone and iPod and brings a few changes and fixes to the table.
  • Push and local notifications for apps appear in the new Notification Center in iOS 5. Notification Center displays notifications that are considered “unread”. In order to accommodate push and local notifications that have no “unread” status, developers can use their application badge count to trigger a clearing of notifications from Notification Center. When an application clears its badge count (by setting it to zero), iOS 5 will clear its notifications from Notification Center.
  • iMessage beta 3 will be unable to communicate with iMessage users on beta 1. It works between beta 3 and beta 2
  • Modal alerts don’t appear for iMessages.
  • When tweeting your location from Safari and exiting before the location can be established, the location arrow will stay in the status bar. The arrow can be removed by killing Safari from the task switcher.
  • Fixed: The Reminders application does not send notifications for reminders that are based upon the entry (and/or exit) of a location if there is no date associated with the reminder.
  • In this beta the option of “Choosing a security question” is not working during an iCloud account setup.
  • Fixed: After creating a recurring event locally on the device, the device stops syncing after hitting an error on merge. Removing and re-adding the account acts as a workaround for this.
  • Restoring from a Seed 1 backup or earlier will cause MobileMe/iCloud calendars not to sync. Subscribed calendars will show up in Calendars but none of your event calendars will appear in MobileCal. To work around the problem please remove and re-add the account.

The Nexus S is due to receive an over-the-air update to Android 2.3.4 over the coming weeks but the whole point of reading blogs is to learn about things before the general public. Well here is another 1up from Tech Tête. Upgrade your Nexus S i9020T (the AWS-equipped model) to Android 2.3.4 and get all the Google Talk functionality now!

What You Need

  • You need to be currently running on Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
  • Have the S i9020T (the AWS-equipped model)
  • Zip file here provided by XDA Developers

NOTE: proceed with caution here and double-check that your phone is compatible, since those are the two requirements for the download to install properly. I’ve tested it without any issues.

  3. boot into recovery
  4. choose apply update
How To Enter Recovery
  • Shut down the phone by pressing on Power button for a while, and choose Power Off.

Depending on your model choose one of the following processes.

  1. Method 1: Press and hold the Up direction button on the D-pad of the phone (Up direction button is toward the screen), and press the Power button until the screen lights up.
  2. Method 2: Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Camera button, and press then Powerbutton until the screen lights up.
  3. Method 3: Press and hold the Volume Down button, and press then Power button until the screen lights up.
