Google Nexus 7 (2013) getting JSS15R update

The Wi-Fi version of Nexus 7 (2013) is reportedly getting a new software update. Rolling out over-the-air, new update carries build number JSS15R but there is no information on the change-log.

Given the 8MB size, it is expected to be mainly a bug-fixing update and will not include any user-facing changes. You can check for the update by going to Settings << About Tablet << System updates << Check now.

You can also download the update using this direct URL from Google and flash it via custom recovery or using ADB Sideload command.

According to reports on XDA, even this update does not seem to have fixed some users’ touchscreen woes. If you have gotten the update, do let us know your experience in the comments section.
