Just want to know if there is any news about the latest GSM update because I have not received it and yes I'm on Google build.
With all the reports of signal problems and others have they pulled the update?

Nope.

as OTA it seems that yes, it has been pulled
I don't think its being "pushed" per say, but the OTA link usually stays up.
Search around for it.

That's just speculation. It's more likely that they are collecting feedback from the first wave of updates as JBQ said. After all, the entire reason for not rolling it out to everyone at the same time is so that they can see that the updated devices come back up and seem to work normally.
Think of it this way. If you push out the update to 100 phones and 70 of them never come back up (ie. they don't login to Google within a certain amount of time), then you have a potential problem with the update.
Maybe not pulled since you can still get the factory image but OTA rollout has been stopped according to a vodafone rep: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Google-Nexus/ICS-4-04-Update/m-p/1073311#M13631
There is no OTA 4.0.4 update for more than one week for yakju build devices.
I wouldn't complain if it has. A lot of GSM users complaining of radio troubles during sleep.
Does not affect CDMA users though
Seems like the tables turned on radio issues in 4.0.4. CDMA is better, GSM...not so much.
I don't know if it's been pulled as I've already updated to 4.0.4 but I can say that mine is problem free (thank god).
I find it strange that it doesn't affect everyone.... Anyone have any idea why?

There are multitudes of factors to account for when diagnosing or replicating problems across all devices that are not equal per se. I didn't think I had the problem until my text stopped sending after clicking enter. The signal dropped out as well as other radios were gone for a brief moment.
I think it's only a matter of time before it happens to most people.

I can definitely say my cell network data connection has refused to function on multiple occasions on 4.0.4. Possibly the sleep issue. Once restarting the phone fixed it, once not even doing a battery pull could fix it. It started working again at some random time later. I was trying to nail down if walking far enough that being a different tower fixed it or not.
Definitely given the amount of people complaining and the fact I've seen some wonky data connection issues it seems there is a bug.
I bought mine from Negri back in November, it came with yakju. On TMo in NYC.

I'm guessing a rushed 4.0.5 is soon to be released to fix the sleep and signal issues.

When you say rushed, that means at least a month from now, right? It is Google after all.
But I'm not going to complain about 4.0.4; it works fine for me. What I still hate is the poor communication from Google.

Yeah, I know the .001% of the population on XDA wants weekly massive improvement updates streaming to their Nexi, but it is simply unrealistic. This stuff takes time.
Silence is aggravating, but our phones get updates a LIGHT SPEED vs. any other Android phone. I'll take that any day of the week despite not getting an hourly update from the Android developers working on the inside. They're busy, believe me.
Guys, I was all set to get a new 32gb Nexus 7....the reviews are great, and then I start reading about the issues.
After a bit more reading, I'm left wondering if its such a good idea? I read that Google released an update, then I also read that it didn't always fix things for people?
So the questions I guess are, Do you own one? Have you had a problem? Is it now fixed by the update? Maybe you've never had any problems?
Would you recommend getting one? I don't wanna spend out on something that I'll regret.
Thanks guys.
I've had mine since the first weekend of availability and it's lived up to all my expectations and then some, you're just buying the usual support vocal minority, sume have legit issue, noisy are just being nitpicky

Thanks for your reply.
Mine worked 100% out of the box, no light bleed, no multi-touch issues, no GPS issues. Updates have installed perfectly. I am running stock deodexed + root + TWRP + Elemental X 1.1 Kernel. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. :good:
I know a lot of people have reported the GPS issues and the touch issues, but I've never experienced them myself. I bought mine the day it was released, 32gb model.

My suggestion is you buy from a place with a reasonable return policy.
We have no idea whether this is a 1%, 5%, 10% or more problem. Even if it were a 20% problem you would still have a huge number of people without issues, but from a product standpoint it would be very bad.
In my personal experience GPS is completely fixed on multiple units with the JSS15Q firmware.
Multi-touch is hit or miss, many units either got multi-touch fixed or saw no improvement. Some saw things get worse. You can see from the changelog history of the touchscreen firmware that they have been making various changes to address the issues, so the issues are real and acknowledged in some part.

As to the random reboots, IMO there are 2 issues, one is a hardware issue and the other is one or more software issues. The hardware issue is more rare, but if you have it, it will be difficult to avoid the reboots, unless Google/Asus can find a software workaround for the problem.
With respect to the software reboot issues, you can usually avoid them by avoiding a "trigger" app. Some folks usage just never triggers the problem. Some people trigger it when using chrome. For others it is some other app. Usually when you stop using the trigger app the software reboots go away.
You need to make the decision for yourself. There will be lots of people saying no problem and lots of people saying they got multiple units all with issues.
I bought the 32gb. Works flawlessly, I got it a week and half ago.

I would say go for it, you are always going to have issues with most anything. Just buy from a retailer with a good return policy, I own the nexus 7 2012 and the nexus 7 2013 , no issues here, awesome devices.
Thanks guys. Sfhub, you make some good points....think I will buy from a large high street store, rather than online.

i think mine is definitely, hardware, maybe , cuz of user error, ie, bad dirty flashing of zips, i dont' want to start all over fresh again, too many apps/settings to revert back (yes call me lazy sob)
most of the reboots happen when im clicking on an app with wifi on , but one of my last reboots, it just just rebooted out of the blue, i didn't even touch the tablet, but i seen it reboot!
Not sure, really, whether I have/had problems or not. Got mine over the weekend. During my initial playing, I did not notice any touch issues. The GPS would lock, but I didn't have time to take it anywhere for long enough to be sure if it would stay locked for a long period of time. Almost immediately (1 day) I got the JSS15Q OTA update. The GPS DOES seem to lock a bit faster, and I seem to be seeing more satellites than before -- it could be my imagination, though. Still no touch issues that I can see.
New Nexus 7 (then) past issues, (now), Cool TAB!

I HAD issues out of the box. Waited for the first update from Google, rebooted once after. Took forever to get the screen to respond to any kind of tap. Rebooted a couple of times and was able to get somewhat R E A S O N A B L E response out of the screen. GPS would work for all of 2 minutes and then shut down. No problems with Wi-Fi.
That was then, along came update: JSS15Q! All is happy in Nexus land. GPS is strong and works flawlessly even in the darkest center of my house! Screen is responsive my fingers are happy.
APPS? That is another matter, remember, even with a stock Nexus 7 fhd you are on the bleeding edge meaning that many apps found on Google Play may fail. Live with it until either the app is updated, ***** at the (no don't *****, contact the developer and kindly tell him/her your problem; or find another app that works for now.
Games? Heh, that is a real crapshoot. If it won't function, move on.

Guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the posts. You help me make up my mind, and gave some sound advice.
I've took the plunge and brought the 32gb model (from a big high street retailer), and I have to say....what a cracking little tablet this thing is, I am really impressed with it. I have not had any issues with it, so I seem to be one of the lucky ones....either that or they have fixed the issues by the time we got them in the UK.
I do feel for all the people who had problems though, its a nightmare when these thing happen. Theres no doubt there has been or are some issues out there, one thing with a Nexus device I guess is it is patched fast if its sw...obviously hw is a different issue.
Looking forward to enjoying this device now, if I can get on it....have to wrestle it off the wife and kids first!
......thanks again guys.
Pete.
Just got my 32gb Nexus today in the UK. Only thing I have noticed is that tap and hold on screen is slow to react. Can take a couple of trys before it works. Sometimes taping an app is slow to open. Running stock and latest update. Only change made is to use Nova as the launcher.

To Wugfresh Re: Toolkit
This is a followup to my 2 confusing Twitter's I made it worse by referencing Nexus 4 and 7 so I will stick to 7 (mostly). I now realize that lurking has its penalties since I need 9 posts after this before I can post this in the relevant thread (with a nostalgic tear for the days we welcomed all comers and left our doors unlocked).
I bought an N7 FHD (2nd gen) and rooted it after the 4.3 auto update soft bricked (right term of art?) it. I used the other toolkit to restore it to JDQ39 factory unrooted. Then it installed JSS15J. Today it tried to do an update and (presumably) it failed because of rooting. That build is no longer on the developer's website and has been replaced by JSS15Q. I would never presume to call myself a developer but my first modem was a 300 baud acoustic coupler and I have a 5 1/2" floppy disks older then most of you and it's actually floppy. ROFL.
Back to reality, on the Nexus 4, I could not discern how to upgrade to the latest Y build but I did manage to restore it to factory settings and Google handled the rest, You were kind enough to add JSS15J to your toolkit for the Nexus 4 but it is not available (in your drop-down) for the Nexus 7. I figured that if you made JSS15J available for the N7 I could restore the N7 to a factory fresh un-rooted one and Google could update it to JSS15Q. In the alternative you might guide me to how I could go from JSS15J to JSS15Q. I am certainly not in your league but this is not my first rodeo and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your efforts. Your toolkit saved my Nexus 4 from the 2 week wait during which Google might have told me rooting voids the warranty or just have left me phone-less till they returned it.
Again thank you especially, and to all the others here who light candles in the darkness for each other and the rest of us pilgrims. A tip of my fedora to ya. Never forget one definition of a pioneer is someone with an arrow in their back.
Much of the time I am as confused as a baby in a topless bar who said, "What do you mean this is not a lunchroom, what else could it be?"
My suggestion is to keep root, grab the latest carbon ROM, the elemental 1.1 kernel and you should be all set. They already have the updates From G in them and they work superb.

Do you own one?
Yes, from day one.
Have you had a problem?
Yes, GPS and the touchscreen grounding issue.
Is it now fixed by the update?
Yes, GPS seems fixed.
No, grounding issue may be worse. Works fins as long as I'm holding it. Placing it causes touches to become sporadic.
Maybe you've never had any problems?
I wish...
Would you recommend getting one?
Yes, it still a FANTASTIC device and many have no issues. If you do return it right away until you get one without issues.
I spoke too soon....at first I thought everything was ok....then I began to notice when I was typing that sometimes it would come out as gibberish. I thought nothing of it as we all make typos now and then, then I noticed that press and hold didn't always register (sometimes takes a few goes). I downloaded the multi-touch test from play and to my horror it's all over the place (compared it against my note 2), this is with the latest update. After reading around a bit more, I'm beginning to think these touch screen issues are hardware....and that it's more widespread than people think. Will be exchanging it for another one, hopefully fair better second time.

Hey man, thanks for the reply.
I opted for the swap out because I don't want to loose the warranty, which I believe you would if you unlocked it?
I bought from PC World / Currys so the swap was no hassle.
Using the new one now, its testing better and typing and "hold and drag" is working much better (although hold and drag still isn't 100%, it's now acceptable to me).
I tested before and after the update, the observation I made is that the update seems to dull down the touch screen a little. It became slightly less responsive after the update than before, but hasn't really affected the usability on this one....although I think I prefered it pre update.
Anyone else having issues with their Nexus 7 2013 not responding to touch or slow to respond after the latest software update? Mine was working beautifully before the update. Now it will work for a few minutes then the touch doesn't respond like it should and usually after awhile it freezes. I need to hold down the power button for awhile to restart it.
Any help? Thank you.

Works great hahahaha , you better start testing longer. Or take your freaken hand off the unit or unplug it.
When you go through 5 solid products without a good one there is not a perfect one out there. The odds are terrible.

Maybe because you used the Nexus 7 update on your Galaxy Nexus?
Same here. Bought my unit day 1 from Amazon. No problems before the update. Flashed Build 9 CM Kanged (from build 3) with the fixes merged, and touch went to hell.
I loaded a nandroid of 15J, updated to 15Q OTA, same issues. Once you update to 15Q, there is no turning back.
No matter what I load, its boinked. It works for the most part but the keyboard freaks out. It completely stops taking inputs for 1-2 seconds, problems pinch/zooming, keyboard randomly inserting characters, etc
Worked fine before with my SP. Now its annoying.
If not just you.

Hi guys..I am planning to buy the new nexus 7. I was so excited when I saw all the positive reviews on youtube, but then I came across all these touchscreens problems videos. So my question is..is this issue only with tablets that were bought when it first came out? Or is it present in new ones too? Also do new update fix the issue? Koz I have a galaxy note 2..and when it first came out there were some kinda probs (sudden death syndrom). But later on they fix it on new models that came out (software wise and hardware too). So I thought google would do the same too. Anyone can enlighten me on this..I'll be very grateful. Koz am a little bit lost here. Thank you for reading..

I had a one of the first batch and it had very minor touchscreen problems.
I flashed one of the touchscreen driver files from the thread in the general section and it was fine after that.
I got a second N7 in November and it works flawlessly.
Oh..thats encouraging. Will be glad to hear some more reviews though.

i had watched all the touchscreen videos but it was worth the risk, i have bought a 2nd hand one, had it for 2months so far and only had the issue once, i downgraded from kitkat to AOSPA. it lasted 30mins, nothing since. im glad i have one, easy to carry around.
Mine's older, made in August. It has the "grounding" problem. The ts11 driver made it perfect.
The 4.4.3 update didn't fix the problem for me so I booted ts11 again and all is well.
I'm also curious if newer models still have touch problems. Even if they do there's a good chance one of the ts drivers can fix it but you shouldn't have to do that, come on google.

I'e just learned to live with it (even after the fix posed here). I assume others have done the same. Neither Google nor ASUS care to address this issue.
Thanks I guess that is all i need to know as much as I love nexus I don't think I'll buy it , had problems with 2012 nexus and the nexus s my nexus 5 is great except the wake bug in 4.4.4 and the noisey power button
No, It's not over. I still face issues on an hourly basis. I don't think it will ever be solved if you ask me.
For what it's worth, I bought mine in January, and I haven't had any issues (of any kind) with it.
