It does. I turned on my nexus yesterday said there was a update like the first time it ever got turned on. Updated no problem
Edit: sorry above post wasn't there when i quoted.
Probably doesn't work with a custom rom on. Like if i plug my phone into to computer and run kies sit doesn't work

Cheers for the clarification chaps, going for the manual download as I want to see if it fixes a couple of issues I have.

If you updated to 4.1.2 and lost root access is there a way to get that back without having to use an older bootloader...?
OK, so given that there aren't really any decent 4.1.2 ROMs out and I didn't fancy flashing a new bootloader via TWRP, I used this to update bootloader, flash vanilla 4.1.2 image, re-root and re-flash recovery:

I haven't used the latest version of the SmoothROM yet (downloading now) but the older version I am running (3.1) is pretty good. The latest (3.3) is based on 4.1.2.

Hey guys, I'm trying to play MKV files on my new nexus 7 but the playback seems to be really choppy. I thought the whole draw of a high powered android tablet was that it could play mkvs
Is there anyway I can fix this?

VLC beta sucks. Use MX player.
+1. MX Player handles HD no problem.

+400. MX Player 
getting really fed up with performace of my n7...
it is sluggish...
engadget app was always slow..many apps are slow..
My galaxy nexus is much faster!!
have uploaded some magazines in pdf to it - files are quite big I agree - 100mb or so; but it takes ages to flick through it...
not keen on resetting it on daily basis

Google currents - disable background sync in options (helps a lot)
Get the 4.1.2 update
do a factory reset
If its still slow, you have a problem.
Mine was really really slow, ran androbench before and after the update and it made a huge difference. (sometimes you need to factory reset to see the full benefits)
Good luck

Mines the same. When i first got it it worked how it should do. I filled it and it ran really slow.
Now I've deleted loads of rubbish its still slow. Did the update still slow.
Only one thing left full wipe. Just can't be bothered with setting it back up again.
But if its still slow then i think its custom rom time.

The wipe fixed it for me, easiest way for the apps is obviously do it through the web, I went through all my apps, selected them to install and left the nexus running for 20 minutes - everything installed.
Anything I had or wanted I drop boxed it and just dragged it back down, it really doesnt take THAT long to restore it all.
