[Nexus 9 General] stuken:
The problem is the configuration of the cpu governer. It ramps up to high speeds far too quickly in response to very light loads. It also throttle up to 1.5ghz in response to simple touch inputs. That is the reason you see such huge useage while browsing as you are constantly scrolling and reading, all the time using the touch screen. The governor won't allow the cpu to throttle back after the touch input finishes and it just sits there. Your graph shows it perfectly, even when cpu load drops to about 15-25% the cpu speed stays at a pretty consistent 1.5ghz level the whole time.

People reporting good battery life appear to be mainly using it for watching video where there is little to no input for hours at a time leaving the cpu sitting in its lowest power state while the decoding is handled on another part of the soc.

We are not going to see an improvement without major configuration changes to the base kernel as it controls all of the cpu power scheduling and there has been no changes in any of the ota updates.
[Nexus 9 General] deepskydiver:
Thanks for the insight, I've about made up my mind to get a refund. I don't feel like rolling the dice again and I don't believe this is fixable.
[Nexus 9 General] cescman:
Tried using the elementalx kernel, looking good, battery level drops much more slowly.
[Nexus 9 General] deepskydiver:
Just contacted Google to return mine. I only had one day left. (I was told its 15 days from when payment occurs not delivery.)

Just so disappointed that google could let this out. The Nexus 5 is such a great device but this is the opposite. If only I could get lollipop on an iPad, because I'm going to have to get an iPad and I really resent it.
[Nexus 9 General] Pilz:
I second this, that's what I used to get 11h SOT.
[Nexus 9 General] Scotlac:
I think it's absolutely fixable. I just wanted to make sure that what I'm experiencing isn't something dramatically different than what others are seeing.
[Nexus 9 General] Pilz:
Anything software related is fixable. I don't have any heat issues with mine like k did when I first bought it. Also here is a new update you could try it's build R. We have has these updates. L<Q<R so things are getting fixed pretty fast.
[Nexus 9 General] Scotlac:
Yeah, I'm running build 21R but I have not seen any improvement in how hot this thing gets while browsing. Still in the 120-170 range depending on which browser I'm using.

Thanks for this info USBHost! These are indeed the sort of temperatures that I am experiencing and the fact that you are not is disconcerting.

This is the sort of input that makes me concerned that maybe some of us that are getting these higher temperatures have something going on beyond mere software issues.......

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepBlue23:
Hello,

I just bought an ohg cable and tried to connect some usb drives to it. FAT storages are working fine, but i cannot mount ntfs drives. I tried tools like "Paragon NTFS & HFS mount", but it seems that the system itself unmounts (USB Safely Remove) the storage automatically, before these tools can mount them. How can i stop the system to behave like that? Phone is a T-Mobile (DE) One M8 on KitKat 4.4.4 (root access).

Thank you in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You could stop it by going FAT32.

Just sayin.....

Why is NTFS so important to you?

Is it just because it's new?

Use what works. Problem solved.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepBlue23:
FAT32 doesn't support files larger then 4 GB.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
I bought 2 droid turbos with verizon edge. I traded in my iphone 5 phones as part of the transaction. Anyone know what happens if I try to return my droid turbos? I'm wishing I had waiting for the Nexus 6.

I know I will own $70 in restock fees (2 x $35) but not sure how the rest will go.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DoctorB0NG:
I'm wondering the same thing. I want my G2 back so badly. The idle drain, capacitive buttons, poor wifi, and lack of simultaneous data and talk driving me crazy. Let's not even talk about root...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Juliann826:
I highly doubt they will give you the phone back. I'm sure they will give you a gift card for the value of the phones, minus the restocking fees.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Syco0601:
Return

So here's what will happen. Of course the restock fee. You will not get your iphones back. Assuming your trade in value of the iPhones was above $100, you should receive a gift card/account credit with the value of those trade in's or can put it towards a phone when returning the Turbos. If you are going to wait you will have to find some interim phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
that's very useful, thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 123421342:
If you return the phone within the return period you don't get hit with the restock fee unless you exchange it. Told this by a rep
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xkape:
You have 14 days to give it back. If you do it, in that timeframe, all is well. If you go outside of it, sheet hits the fan. In less than a month we will have VoLTE and Lollipop. SO I was told. Data and voice at same time will be fixed and you get the new OS.. boom

Root, however, is another story.. patiently waiting
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
I think my wife is going to return tomorrow so I'll get rid of it in less than a week. That'll work. I really don't care about Data and voice at same time, that's a "neutral" on my big ass list of reasons I want out of this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 123421342:
Why do you want out?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
OK well since you asked I'll list out my likes and hates. Keep in mind I'm coming from an iPhone 5 (which my wife forced me into). I put my foot down and demanded Android this time but I'm really hating this phone. I wanted a Nexus 6 but after cutting out a model out of cardboard I realized it didn't fit very well in my front pants pocket and that was without a case so that's why I tried this phone.

I like:

- the size and form factor

- the google software (except for the music app and the fact gmail must be separate from other email)

- the battery

- the free screen replacement (x1)

- the speed (after I disabled about 20 apps)

I'm neutral on:

- the screen (kind of dark and not loving the colors)

- no data and voice simultaneously

I hate:

- all the bloat (the Verizon software, amazon software, etc)

- the camera (slow and takes pretty bad pictures IMO)

- the wifi range/stability (getting drop outs on my top floor, never had that before)

- the bluetooth (getting drop outs in my car, never had that before)

- all the moto software (the moto voice software constantly stops playing whenever I have music on bc it thinks it's me talking.)

- low sound volume (although better after disabling audio effects)

- speakerphone (getting an echo, never had that before)

- lack of real voice mail (seriously WTF with Verizon voice mail)

- verizon text messages (couldn't figure out how to text pictures with anything else although I didn't spend much time on it)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rlb81:
You can disable a lot of the bloat apps if you go into the app management settings

Camera might improve with software update or another app, but this is a personal preference thing for sure

Wifi issues would definitely bug me. Haven't personally noticed anything, but I've had my phone for lass than 24 hours

I'll test out my bluetooth, thanks for the heads up!

As for manufacturer software enhancements, this is as slim as it gets (aside from a Nexus device with pure vanilla android). Only other option is to go back to apple I think. Or wait for root/roms etc.

Not sure about voicemail issues, been a VZW customer for >10 years and it's always been fine.

You can use different text apps. Try the one w/ green icon, not the stupid red verizon one.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 123421342:
That's fair. The Wi-Fi and stuff will probably be fixed in an update. Bloat can be disabled in the application manager. You can customize your experience quite a lot including using any app you want for any activity, unlike iPhone. I recommend textra
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
I have 20+ apps disabled, but i appreciate the heads up.

The wifi and bluetooth problems are pretty major for me (speakerphone too since i use that a lot). My wifes droid turbo has the same wifi issues as mine but no bluetooth issues so far.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rlb81:
Just wanted to throw it out there in case you weren't aware. You had to know that people would try to rebut your dislikes ;) Good luck with the return, let us know how it goes! I started Edge yesterday and the VZW guy couldn't really give a good answer on how the return process works. Hopefully I won't need it....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
Honestly I do appreciate the feedback. But yeah, a lot of people love their droid turbos so they don't want anyone to bash it. I get it. I tend to defend what I like too. I'm going to try to send my wife out for the return today, she's kind and patient and her returns seems to go smoother than when I do them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Instead of me telling you how to fix these issues, because they can be fixed or will be addressed with updates...

Tell me what phone you would get as an alternative and I will give you my opinions on that or at least the differences. Because everything you listed will not only be a problem on a lot of phones, but even worse in some cases.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
Well I WOULD have gladly taken a Nexus 6... but my wife needs a working phone right now not whenever google actually gets product shipped so she left with the droid turbo and is coming back with iphone 6. Plus they simply made the Nexus 6 too large. But even though it's too big I'd still take one right now if I could get one.

There are a lot of complaints about the wifi and I seriously doubt that can be fixed. The wifi is worse than my cheap work lenovo laptop that my employer hands out to everyone. Maybe the other issues will eventually be fixed but it's possible there will NEVER be root on these phones and that's what everyone needs.

If I had to do it over again, I'd have hung on to my iphone 5 and I would have bought an HTC One M9 in March/April but that ship has sailed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Figures you would post the one phone I cannot help you with, lol! I'm not an iPhone user, it's just a blatantly overpriced piece of hardware.

My opinion, however, is that you're exchanging a device that lacks a well rounded camera in terms of software for one that offers more functionality in terms of software..

Internally, Android just wins. Hands down. Sure, the iPhone has a great camera & a 64 bit SoC. But take those two things away and nothing inside is truly "revolutionary" at all. It's been done before, years ago, nothing new or substantial other than the fact that Apple has finally caught up in display offerings.

Nexus 6 is definitely going to be one of a kind, but I don't think the battery is going to be great imho. I'm reserving my opinions on the camera for now. I do think the signal strength will be good, as Motorola implemented a great design around the band and the plastic back won't obscure signals.

I'm sorry your Turbo experience wasn't a pleasurable one for your personal needs.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
Yeah the short of it as a married man this was my chance to convert my wife (she insists that we have the same phone so that I can help her figure things out) to Android and there are simply too many problems with this phone. Nothing was easy or simple, even stuff like Voice Mail, Bluetooth streaming, wifi, texting. Those are basic things that my iPhone 5 was better at. I'm honestly shocked.

I knew there would be bloatware and I disabled it. I still don't think carriers should be able to load that **** on peoples phones and then keep people from deleting it. I think that's a huge problem for Android to overcome. I think Google is headed in the right direction with the Nexus 6... but it's not available yet.

Maybe down the road I can try again... with a Nexus device
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Ya, I can imagine it being a big disappointment. The last thing you want to give your wife or anyone in general is a bad first experience.

If you are seeking the best Android experience possible than you should definitely get a Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Moto X 2014, or the M8 Google Play Edition. They all run vanilla Android out of the box with zero bloat and will give you the quickest Android updates available.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
took my wife 1.5 hours to return the phone to Verizon. Seriously Verizon sucks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rlb81:
Haha I know the deal! My wife was happy when we both got GS4s last year. When I told her I was upgrading yesterday she was upset that we wouldn't have twin phones anymore. Ladies!

Pretty lame! Did she swap for another phone or just a straight return?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
Glad there's another married guy on here that gets how the ladies are.

It was a straight return. Rep told my wife it took him 6 hours to return a phone yesterday. I just don't understand how that's possible.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] paladin732:
Where are you getting the less than a month date for VoLTE and Lollipop from?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
6 hours?! Lmao. That store should be shut down.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cpufrost:
LOL could you imagine if the stores were like pawn shops and they had a retention department that would hold trade ins for 14 days so they could hand them back if you returned the device?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] antjones21:
I agree with all your complaints with the Droid Turbo.. I posted a similar review a few days ago in here and got attacked by trolls saying I don't know how to use the phone and I suck at taking pictures yet a lot of people have complained about the slow camera and poor quality. I ended up returning mine and getting a Note 4 but I really want the Note Edge but who knows when Verizon will release it. I got the Verizon Edge program cause I plan on getting the HTC One M9 in March as I think that'll be an amazing device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pbmpharmacist:
Thx for the support. Sorry that you had a similar experience.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pdyer134:
Turbo too many issues, too i dont know what?!

Not even sure how to reply on this forum but wanted to say i agree with every Hate item you listed with this phone! I am also coming form an i phone 5 so i will also be blasted by the Android nation but having i phone for past 4 years and this for a week there is zero comparison?! Speaker phone is horrible, sound is way too quiet, blue tooth wont work at all and all the other items you mentioned! I will be returning this to verizon this weekend, not sure what i'll get yet? But it might just be the phone i was simply bored with, didn't have any issues with, was just looking for a change. This is not the change i was looking for!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jaben2:
I'm debating on returning mine for some of the same reasons. I am going to exchange mine tomorrow due to what I hope is a defect. Earpiece volume is just way to low and the speaker volume sound is horrible.

The other issue is the battery life, seems way worse than I was expecting. I'm easily getting a days use out of it, just not what I was expecting.

Maybe my expectations were just too high.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ombadboy:
Hey guys,

I am trying to prepare my Nexus 9 to receive root (when that happens) and I was wondering if unlocking the bootloader will suffice for the time being? That means it will wipe it once, and I can start using my Nexus 9 without worrying of wiping it in the future.

Then it means as soon as TWRP comes out with a version that supports Nexus 9 I just need to flash that (no need to wipe device) and then flash SuperSU (no wiping either)

Am I missing something here?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funatkill:
You're right but...

Hey ombadboy

I think this will work. Don't forget to enable the oem unlock in the developer settings before. Otherwise your try to unlock will fail. Maybe you shouldn't flash the first versions of twrp, because this will be the first one for Lollipop und encrypted storage. Just boot the image once and flash superSU. So you will still get OTA updates.

After unlocking you should be able to root without losing your data twice.

After a few time and if there are no more OTAs in the near future you can flash a stable TWRP image.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ombadboy:
Thanks for the replied guys. Yes, that's exactly what I did; now I have an unlocked bootloader.

So if I understood this well, can I get root without flashing a custom recovery? If so, what's the purpose of flashing one?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogyoku:
The purpose of having a custom recovery is to flash custom roms.

I'm on stock 1.54.401.10, rooted, s-off and with twrp.

I'd like to go to stock recovery to install OTA.

Need answers for some questions first:

What do I need to install update?

I know about recovery, do I need to relock bootloader?

Also there was an issue with custom hboots on m7, so can I relock bootloader, update software, etc, if I don't have red text during boot? Gone after using firewater.

Not sure if this is related, just want to be sure, I won't brick my phone during update.

Or maybe it is better to flash firmware and newer rom manually?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michvh:
With stock recovery and stock rom you can install official updatea, no need for relocking bootloader.

Because you're s-off you can also do it manually, see this post.

Has anyone noticed the following difference in behaviour between Excel Mobile and Word Mobile: in Excel I can have multiple spreadsheets open, whereas in Word I can only have one document open at a time?

I have magic button installed. I start Excel, open a spreadsheet, tap the Excel icon to go back to the list of files, open another spreadsheet. Now when I tap on the Excel icon, it cycles through the list and the 2 opened spreadsheets.

The same thing doesn't work for Word Mobile. If I have one file open and I tap on another document in file explorer (for example), the first file is autosaved and closed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
The Microsoft design specification for Windows Mobile suggests that only one instance of an application run at a time, eg only one copy of Word, one copy of Excel etc.

If they don't follow their own rules, well... good for us :) Although a programmer can easily permit as many copies of his app to run as he wants, normally a Microsoft certified app won't.

Very curious...
