Just got the ota. Improved touch response - tested with yamtt. No ghost touches so far. Don't have Bluetooth keyboard yet.

I just updated myself. Lost root but that was expected. I have had two random reboots in the past two days , hope this helps.

I just installed JSS15R, and just as bjs229 said, I lost root, as well.    One thing I did notice was that the GPS picked up my location for my Time and Weather widget and loaded much faster.

I'm usually last to the party on these updates. They are rolled out in stages randomly. It has taken up to two weeks.

Gps test plus - still taking around two minutes to lock. Signal to noise ratio from 20 to 31 db indoors. No change log for the update yet, maybe it's just a backdoor fix for the NSA.

Onscreen or real KB? Did you try the touch screen firmwares I linked to?
Reboots- some people have problems with chrome beta causing this. I might suspect widgets as well since they can run when the tablet is locked. One widget app was causing my old n7 to reboot and then the updates that fixed the random reboots would themselves restart the n7 right after the install! I no longer allow automatic updating.

Some of you mention losing root. What are advantage s of having your system  rooted?

I used Mark Skippen"s Toolkit Here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430708) and selected option 4 (Root/Unroot Device). I do have the donate version (1.0.4), so I cannot guarantee that the free version (1.0.2) will work, but version 1.0.4 was basically a one click process.

Massive threads on random reboot at xda and Google. Some possible solutions, WiFi always scanning off, factory reset or wipe dalvik cache from recovery, reflash entire system ROM. Try another ROM and kernel.

Google suggests reboot in safe mode to isolate problem from bad apps. Hold power button for menu, long press turn off tablet for safe mode reboot option.

If nothing works, return or RMA.

If you factory reset, manually update all apps.

RMA? LOL. I wish. This thing looks like a grenade blew up next to it!

 I Don't mind looking, I might find a fix for my cameras not working and other wonkiness. Saw another set that implied an ISP issue with bad dns. Comcast, I think. They would only get the reboots on their home connection.
Maybe having WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC always on is too much info,  making the kernel panic?

All set.. Back to root. I had to delete my drivers on the pc and reinstall for ADB to get recognized. Never had that problem before. Strange because it was giving me the error with both toolkits and two computers that always worked before this new update. Big props to Prime for his advice with working with Skippen which I didn't have much experience with. So far so good.. No reboots.

I do consider Mark Skippen's toolkit to be a bit more feature rich than others.
