With the recent release of this year's new Nexus 7, Will Google keep last year's Nexus 7 updated so it will not become obsolete any time soon?
Yes.
I would say "Probably yes".
But since we are not Google it's just guessing.
Going by past trends, a nexus device receives official software updates for about 2 years..
Beamed from my Grouper
Based on the fact I just got another 4.3 OTA notification about two hours ago, I would say yes.
Build: JWr66Y (not sure if that's even changed)

Should be even longer. The nexus s and the Xoom got dropped because of the small system partition size. The nexus 7 and galaxy nexus don't have this issue.

My Xoom stayed updated for the longest time, 4.1.2 was the last official release I got on it before I switched to the N7.
I believe that this device should see a fairly prolonged life.

Soon our beloved nexus s will be 2 years old and will really start to show it's age
I'm 80% sure I'll be getting the new nexus
Quad core s4 pro is a beast
2gb ram

Got my nexus a few months ago on a 2 year contract.
I'll be getting the new nexus. I'm actually really excited about it. I know LG had a bad reputation as fat as maintaining and keeping things up to date, but Google will be handling that, so no worries.
Being a Nexus rooting and unlocking should be easy.

I want it! Thinking about it hard! Form factor us a huge issue for me. I feel that the phone will be to big tbh. I miss the perfect size that the current nexus has.
Sent from my Nexus S
Yes I want it just hope Sprint get it & doesn't take months to sell it or I may get the Note 2 or skip them both & wait for next year phones with 1080p HD screens & arm cortex A-15 CPU I want Exynos 5250 with Mali-T 604 GPU they say this dual core chip is 2x faster than tegra 3!!!

Really just depends on the battery for me. Two things I don't care for with my current Nexus S 4G is the camera and the small battery. Other than that it's a helluva device. Camera im sure will be better its just the battery im hoping gets a beastly upgrade. Tired of pluging my phone in whenever I want to use it and having to turn off data / jump through hoops or just plain not using my phone to get through a full day.

I'll probably move on either to the Galaxy Nexus or whatever Google's new pure Android offering is; I'm not committing to anything until I see my options in their final release state.
I'm sticking with the Nexus line for sure...
Whatever is available and appealing to me at the time of my upgrade (in April 2013) is what I'll switch to. I imagine there will be another Nexus device out by then, if things go the way I've been reading about. We'll see.
I'm 99.99% sure that I'll be getting the LG Nexus.
Depending in the price for the unlocked ... maybe!!
It looks pretty good.
I'm 99% sure I'll get it, unless they seriously **** it up.

Either that or the optimus g. 13 mp camera sounds nice on the optimus..I love nexus though. I've had no problems really.

Early upgrade available so I'll be all over that. The note 2 was on the cards but the rumours started...... and. The rest is history.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Apparently there will be a black and white model. Which would you get?
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 5 - 4.1.2)
Matrix Kernel (23.5 - CFS)
Ondemmand (Screen On) (800/100)
Ondemmand (Screen Off) (400/100)
Deep Idle (N/A - Deadline)
BLX (N/A - Inverted Apps)
Black Exodus (Stock Voltage)
White sometimes discolours and looks dirty a black one would be my choice

I'll be getting the next Nexus phone (unlocked), but not the one by LG, as they are horrible in supporting/updating their devices (according to my co-worker, who owns an LG G2X).
im going to wait few months untill the price drop down 30% or more

I want something new and I want it to be a nexus so maybe. Both the galaxy nexus and lg nexus look too big for my hands, but something has to give as I push my nexus s too hard. My phone reboots itself once a day or more with both stock JB and CM 10.

Loving the n4 however having issues with 4.2
Wife has a nexus 7 which had 0 issues with WiFi and Bluetooth before the update and now has issues with both. My nexus 4 is having the very same issues as well now.
I wish I made a nandroid when I first got the phone but of course I was too eager right away and updated. I searched for 4.1.2 but have had no luck.
Anyone else know?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
i think it came with a prerelease software of 4.2... i don't think we ever had 4.1.2.. not sure didn't check before ota..
You had no luck because the device never had 4.1.2 to begin with.

Well I'll be. That would explain it lol.

Anyone else noticing an issue where they wake the screen and there's a notification that your Google account failed to connect? I'm seeing this on both my N10 and Gnex. Maybe it's a 4.2 issue?

Seeing issue in n7 and s3 here as well
Swyped while swerving from my Samsung GS3
Yeah, I reauthenticated and it reconnected. Seemed like a Google server down-time or something.
Droid Razr - Running JB 4.1.2....Same issue. You are not alone
Same here on 2 Galaxy S3's a Galaxy Tab my Nexus and a Zoom. Must be a Google issue.
Thanks for confirming this. Sounds like a Google issue.

One X, Tab 8.9, Galaxy Note, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 all having this issue for the last couple days.
Actually glad to see it's widespread in a way, had me a little paranoid.
Must be Google issue as all my android devices are seeing this message

Same here both nexii 10 and 4 have the issue. Actually the other night my desktop dropped connection for a few minutes.
I want to hear all your problem and is there any issue about the latest gen and the latest model number, do you guys still having problems such as multitouch, lagging. Or any hardware problem and also the gps thing?
And do you guys know what is the latest model type that any kind of retail store has for nexus 7 and also from google site?
Seems the most problem for nexus 7 is still coming from JSS15Q, am i right?

You do know that this forum is for the 2012 Nexus 7?
Oh wow sorry i didn't know that
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Its a wrong forum, but I've never had this multi touch problem on my 2013 n7, i guess it's a hardware problem, and yes jss15q is the latest!, you should do a replacement

Since the release of 4.4 for the Nexus 7 I've been constantly hitting the update button on my beloved tablet and I have yet to see the coveted update. Is there anyone else that shares this same fate? Am I being impatient?
I know I could root and I've thought about it, actually but I really wanted to see how long I could refrain from crack-flashing every single thing I own. But I might not have a choice since I just read that the Moto X for Verizon is now getting the update.
The fact that any device from Verizon is getting an update before a Nexus is making me nervous that maybe something is amiss with my tablet...
Nothing for me yet.. just updated my MotoX an hour ago though. A Nexus 7 update today would be like having the most awesome Christmas ever...

.. but no update here for my Nexus 7 Wifi...
No update for me as well (both N7 adn N4)
No update - UK WIFI Nexus 7 16GB
No update for my n7/13 or n4 (both stock unlocked) but I had sideloaded 4.4 to my rooted n7/12 and received the ota KRT16S last night. I flashed stock recovery and had super su (1.72B) set to protect root, all went well and I didn't loose root. Flashed back to twrp with flashify.
sent from my next gen N7
No update neither here - Nexus 7 WIFI IT 16 GB
If you like to stream flash videos (or stream NBA games, etc), watch out. Kit Kat breaks it because apparently they've updated the web engine which doesn't support flash at all.
No update for me either. Nexus 7 2012 32gb

Seriously, if you really can't wait, grab the OTA off Google's servers. There's no need to complain when you can have it right now.
Is it possible to do that even if my tablet isn't rooted?
If so please can you let me know how?
Thanks in advance

Well I, the OP, have officially gotten the update. I have to say though, that it took a lot longer than I expected for a Nexus device.
