Hopefully this will address those bugs from the 4.2 update. Anyone manage to update yet? Still nothing here on the West Coast.

Sorry Tsarli. Only the best tasting tuna deserves to be Starkist.

Just got it updated now to 4.2.1. Seems ok. Then again, I don't have any problems with my Nexus 7 to begin with.
-
I haven't gotten my update yet. I have tried to force it a couple times but I am going to just wait.
-
I posted a link in this thread to the update file from my dropbox if you get impatient.

Thanks Loocid. I saw that. I am trying to do it naturally this time. I read that it doesn't fix my issue so I'm just a little bummed.
-
In my case, the update was pushed to me (I'm in London). It actually does not say 4.2.1 but just 4.2 which actually confused me for a while coz I was on 4.2 already. No problems encountered so far. I think the best way to address issues being experienced by some is to back up everything with Google then do a factory reset. Didn't have to do this, though.

Got inpatient. Installed. Thanks Loocid!

I didn't see anywhere about them fixing anything BT? Does anyone notice better BT performance? I still have the same issues.

The Android Police article doesn't mention a Bluetooth fix...

Is Bluetooth Open Source??

Yes. Bluetooth is written into the open source. I'll find a reference and post a link.

Here is a link to the open source.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/bluetooth/bluedroid/+/android-4.2.1_r1 (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/bluetooth/bluedroid/+/android-4.2.1_r1)
The Bluetooth module was changed, but only to allow driver support for wireless controller. Not a bug fix.

Thanks loociddreemr but thanks like a forgotten language, what's an HID gamepad/joystick?

Human Interface Device.

Yeah but are they specific brand or any pad/joystick? Cheers.

"When trying to pair a HID gamepad with bluedroid, the pairing fails
with the 'Type of device not supported' error. This patch adds
HID gamepads and joysticks to the list of supported HID devices."
This is the information available from the open source library.

According to this bluetooth is fixed:
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/android-4-2-1-update-brings-back-december-fixes-bluetooth-50009859/
Also if you were running a custom rom/and or kernel your device may have got the ota pushed to it but unless you ended up with 4.2.1 in the about section of your tablet you don't have it installed. I had thought mine installed and ran into this issue.
I also have noticed a bit of an uptick in stock performance according to Quadrant Standard and Antutu but screen flicker still comes and goes on my device app dependent which is strange because I don't use auto-brightness.

That article, as well as the notes on the source code only describe one Bluetooth fix among many that are floating around.

I just tapped check for updates and got it 4.2.1 . It is much smaller than the 4.2 update installed very quickly.

I've got it and can proudly announce that the BT problem is much worse. Streaming Spotify from wifi to a BT speaker is virtually unbearable. I am sad now :(

I feel your pain Nemo.
