Thinking about buying a 2013 Google Nexus 7 and am wondering if various glitches I've seen mentioned here and there been fixed?

And are all the problems software / firmware related, or are there hardware issues where I should wait for updated hardware to be released.

Both GPS and touch sensitivity which were the major issues have been fixed.

what about the bluetooth wifi conflict?

Bluetooth on wifi has always worked fine for me.

PS. I also feel like my Nexus 7 2013 has been pretty much flawless since the day it came out. Maybe I just got lucky. But I've had no multitouch issues either... Dunno about GPS, I don't use GPS on a tablet.

Same here, my Nexus 7 has been fantastic since I bought it on the accidental early launch day. Everything about it is top notch.

There are still issues. Anyone saying differently is either not noticing them or is an isolated case of not experiencing them. There are still major touch screen related issues. They are not a dealbreaker by any means, but they are annoying when they occur and it makes typing a large amount accurately near impossible.

I have to admit that I'm starting to notice the touchscreen issues. Sometimes I'll try to press an icon and it takes 2 or 3 tries to actually register. Not a dealbreaker but definitely annoying. Likely a case of "you get what you pay for".

I had intermittent touch problems with mine, but a factory reset seemed to fix it for now. I am watching mine like a hawk for sure now.
