It looks like Samsung decided to go official with the upcoming software update for the Nexus S, which should fix some of the bugs and glitches that have been reported by owners.

The Korean handset manufacturer confirmed via its Galaxy S Support Twitter account that an over-the-air (OTA) software update for the Nexus S will be pushed in the following days.

However, Samsung's officials failed to mention an exact release date of the update, which means that fixing the bugs reported recently was more complicated than the company initially thought.

The important thing is the message posted by Samsung stating that the software update will prevent text messages from being sent to the wrong contact.

This problem has been reported several days after the device was launched on the market in December 2010.

Apparently, users of the Nexus S have encountered an issue with texting, which involves the transmission of messages to the wrong contacts. It seems this is the same bug that plagued Android 2.2 smartphone users in the past.

Another annoying bug is related to the fact that the device cannot maintain phone calls longer than 3 minutes without rebooting.

Even though, Google and Samsung said that they had been able to reproduce the issue and were working on a solution to solve this issue, it is unclear if the upcoming software update also fixes this problem too.

Furthermore, it seems that Nexus S also has some problems with Bluetooth streaming, as users have reported that the smartphone becomes unresponsive whenever they try to use this feature.

Several Nexus S users believe that some of these issues have started to affect the device right after Google and Samsung rolled out the Android 2.3.1 (GRH78) software update, one week before New Year's Eve.
