Nexus 7 (2013)

Build JSS15Q has begun rolling out for Google’s latest tablet

Following yesterday’s updates for the Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus, which are still in the process of reaching all users, Google is today pushing out its first post-release update for the 2013 Nexus 7.

Google’s Paul Wilcox confirmed on the company’s product forums that new firmware is indeed rolling out to fix touchscreen sensitivity issues reported by some Nexus 7 owners —

“As a couple of you have mentioned, there’s a new system update that’s started rolling out for your Nexus 7s. This update does address the touchscreen issues discussed in this thread. If you’re one of the people experiencing touchscreen issues, please let us know how it’s going after you’ve received and installed the update.”

There’s no word as to whether the patch includes any other changes, but it’s possible it might also include whatever security fixes were rolled out to Nexus phones yesterday.

If you’re not seeing anything on your Nexus 7 just yet, you’re not alone — our devices aren’t showing any updates available just yet either. As is always the case with Google updates, you might need to wait a few days before it’s rolled out to your tablet.
