Android 4.3, JellyBean update factory images and binaries are now available for the Nexus 7, Nexus 4. Nexus10 and Galaxy Nexus.

The two main build versions that are available include JSS15Q and JWR66Y. Those using the Nexus 7 2013 model can download JSS15Q for their device. The JWR667 build is available for the Nexus 7 2012, Nexus 4, Nexus 10, and Galaxy Nexus models.

JSS15Q corrected the GPS issues some users were having with the new Nexus 7 tablet.

The software update was released last week to correct problems users were having with the touchscreen. It also fixed some of the bugs that were found with the GPS system.

"As a couple of you have mentioned, there's a new system update that's started rolling out for your Nexus 7s," said Paul Wilcox on Google Product Forums. "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."

He also clarified whether or not it would correct the problems with the GPS.

"Thank you for your patience while we've been working on this," he said. "As Justin mentioned, there is a new over-the-air update for Nexus 7 rolling out now that addresses the GPS issue discussed here. We look forward to hearing feedback about your GPS experience after you've received the update."
