No update for me yet. Chicago suburbs

Check the thread on the update for instructions on how to force the update.

I got the update to my N7 Thursday morning and so far no problems. I did turn the tablet off and let it reboot after the update. I wonder if these problems are being caused by specific apps that are running on the devices.

Try just clearing the data and cache from the Play Store... Under Settings, Apps, All, Play Store, you'll find the option. Reboot afterwards.

Actually I think you need to go to apps/all/google services framework and clear that.

Hi everyone. It's my first post. Fyi, I'm up here in Canada just north of Toronto. I have two 16Gb Nexus 7s. Two days ago my personal unit gave me a message about an upgrade to JB 4.1.2, which I installed. Everything seems to be fine so far. Looks like my occasional unresponsive screen problem (normally solved by a reboot, which was simple but a pain) is gone. Today I wanted to view some pictures over my network and I realized that my stock gallery viewer was gone. Has anyone else had this issue and is it fixable? Also for those unable to upgrade yet, I took my other Nexus 7 - the family unit - and checked to see if it had been updated to 4.1.2. It hadn't so I had it check for updates and it said it had the latest version. Strange that one unit updates but the other one doesn't. They were purchased about a month apart, so maybe there are some minor hardware variations, ie. different manufacturers of some components between the two units? The family unit is registered under my wife's name with a different gmail account. Just throwing that one out there as food for thought. Cheers.

I got the update when I rebooted after a full charge.

He was replying to the original post about the google play problem, not the force update which this thread is now polluted with.

Too bad the force update doesn't work. At least didn't for me.

I've noticed another glitch that has now happened on two separate occasions and which never happened prior to the update.

When I long press on an app in the app drawer and then drop it into a folder on my homescreen it doesn't always show up in that folder until after I've rebooted the Nexus. After first discovering this problem I rebooted as a last resort and found one app icon in the folder three times (the number of times I'd tried dropping it into the folder without it showing up). This doesn't happen every time, but twice out of three times it has. Anybody else had this issue?

I found the solution to my missing gallery stock app. It appears the Jellybean update merely disabled it. Solution: settings>apps>all>gallery>enable. Then it appears on your apps list and from there hold the icon down to send it to desktop.

Well it certainly backs up the theory that rollouts aren't geographically based.

Glad that you solved it. Thanks for the info.

My problem is that app updates don't work. I get an error message - can't connect to server.
I tried signing out & back in to Google account after turn off but that didn't fix it.

I cleared the data from Framework to force update so that might have caused the issue.

Suggestions to be able to get app updates?? Thanks

No problem. This will sound severe, but go into accounts and delete your Google account. Then just add it right back. That cleared the same issue I encountered when I cleared the framework on my galaxy Nexus To try to get an update.

Even though you have tried this, it has worked for me. Make sure you're doing is in settings, accounts. Give it a minute After you delete your account.

Took me a few minutes to find the thread on how to force the update, so to save others time, here's how to force it:

settings-->apps-->All Apps-->Google service framework [Clear data/Cache]
you will have to try it a few times.​

It took me twice... After I cleared the data and force stopped it, I went back to Settings > About > Update and scanned. On the second attempt it found the update...

Thanks for sharing, it works perfectly on Nexus 7 and it has been upgraded to 4.1.2, any news regarding the samsung galaxy s3, it's still running on 4.0.4?

keep in touch.
Cheers!

My tablet was working perfectly until the update. Immediately after the update the screen became unresponsive. I did a hard reset using the power and volume buttons that brought the tablet back to factory settings, but the screen still does not respond.

 

[gen2010]

Since the update, on the lock screen, the time won't display properly. If it's a 4 digit time eg. 10:30, the zero is 2/3 cut off. If it's a 3 digit time it's OK. Portrait mode is OK. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[gen2010]

I called support and now they are aware of this problem. It's happening on their devices too. It will be fixed with an update, hopefully soon.

A couple of questions. When you turn it on, what screen does it stop at? Have you tried booting into safe mode where non-stock apps are not loaded? Could be a downloaded non-compatible app is causing an issue. Also, how fully charged is your battery? Try fully charging, or better yet, try turning it on while you have it plugged into the charger. Also, an old tech trick that may or may not work, nobody laugh please, try plugging in your headphones in case there's some kind of slight electrical charge buildup. If it was possible to remove the battery you could do that and then hold down the power button for a minute, but it isn't possible without possibly voiding the warranty. You may end up having to re-flash your rom using a PC connection via the USB that came with your N7.
