Nexus 7 wants to update itself all the time but fails

[MManny]

Hi all,

I recently got my hands on a Nexus 7 (2013 version, non-LTE) and I really enjoy it. It's running Android 4.3 (JWR66N).

However, ever since day 1, it insists on installing a 53.8 MB update to bring it up to version 4.3 (?). If I allow it to do that, it will reboot and try to update, but the robot guy will fall over after a few seconds, saying that there was an error. After I shut it down and boot it up again, everything works as usual with the version unchanged, and a few days later the same update shows up in my notification bar.

Now, I have tried numerous things, ranging from killing and clearing the Google Framework Services to a full factory reset, but the update just keeps on coming (and failing).
I am not sure how to proceed here. Should I try to manually flash the latest version? Or ignore it until 4.4 comes along?

Thanks in advance,
Manny

I had the same type of issue with my Verizon Note II a while back...drove my crazy.

If a factory reset didn't help it is time to return for another. That should not be happening.
