[Nexus 9 General] cundiffr:
I'm enjoying mine a lot. I've had both Nexus 7's and I liked the 2nd gen a lot. But it didn't feel like a tablet to much because it wasn't really much bigger than my phones (Nexus 5 and OnePlus) this is a good upgrade. I'm waiting for more performance tweaks in future updates or new Roms. It hiccups from time to time but not much to worry about.
[Nexus 9 General] Joe_6pak:
death before apple!
[Nexus 9 General] shure2:
Just imagine taking the iPad air 2 and putting lollipop on it, best tablet ftw
[Nexus 9 General] mkygod:
The N9 screen is a LOT better than the N7's (lightbleed aside). I would go as far as to say that it has the best overall screen of any Nexus device that came before it in terms of color accuracy, fidelity, and viewing angles.
[Nexus 9 General] eurominican:
I share the thoughts of the op. I have both the n7 FHD and n9 and ive only been using the n7 since every time I grab the n9 the light bleed, loose back and over heating bothers me so much. I'm returning it for sure. Maybe I'll give it another shot once they work out all these issues.

And also, just noticed today when turning the n9 on, that it has yellowish spots when the screen is black but backlight is on (as in when turning on).
[Nexus 9 General] Geeba:
Will they sort the QC issue out thou? Its put me off to be honest.... I'll probably wait for the next premium tablet...
[Nexus 9 General] richii0207:
Zero issues here with mine. Every product has their issues. There is always an "issues" and "disappointment" bandwagon for the first few weeks.
[Nexus 9 General] wifesabitch:
Exactly.

Some people think buying The Shield will make them happy. Sure, it's a great tablet, I had one before my N9 I know but check out their board on xda. It's just as littered with complains of this fault and that fault.

I've never heard of a device with ZERO complaints about something.
[Nexus 9 General] dinocgeo:
I am loving my N9. I have the Asus TF701T also and now that ive been using the N9 for a week the only time i pick up the Asus is when i want to play a game that is not compatible yet on my N9. I have none of the issues that others are complaining about. Feels great, looks great and works great.

That's all folks.
[Nexus 9 General] Geeba:
I am finding a LOT more reviews where they are saying the N9 was a missed chance... there is no excuse for the squidgy back and light bleed on a premium tablet...

I'm thinking Nokia N1 now... it has the laminated screen and the aluminum body the N9 should of had.
[Nexus 9 General] irotsoma:
So, what tablets have similar specs to the N9, but without the issues, regardless of cost? I'm currently waiting for LTE version (though maybe I'll grab a sand one when it comes out if I decide I can live without LTE), but I'm definitely open to a better alternative. I know there aren't any that have 64 bit processors or Android 5.0 (yet). But beside those, is there any other Android tablet that's around 8-9 inches and has similar performance. I mostly will use it for web browsing, games, and testing apps that I've developed. Thanks!
[Nexus 9 General] bipoler:
Get a nexus 6
[Nexus 9 General] Caelrie:
That's the problem. It's a premium price sticker for a not-premium device.
[Nexus 9 General] wifesabitch:
What device is premium with a premium sticker price?
[Nexus 9 General] Caelrie:
The note 4 and the ipad air 2 come to mind. The note 10.1 2014 was pretty premium too.
[Nexus 9 General] Yachats:
Digging mine. No issues so far.
[Nexus 9 General] clubtech:
Check the Xperia Z3. Tablet. you'll get premium for a premium price.
[Nexus 9 General] _Infamous_:
Is the return policy 15 day or 30 day
[Nexus 9 General] anobium:
Its 15 but if you purchased it after the 10th of november you can return it up to jan 2015, :), I got mine on release day and am in two minds what to do the build quality isnt great, the back sometimes is slighlty loose but clicks back into place and I have noticed a couple of defects on the rim of the case hardly visable but for £410.00, also It is buggy even with the latest r update from yesterday today I turned it on from sleep and when it unlocked it went straight to a black screen and the only way to get it on was a reboot, it also gets hot but all devices like this do, and the recent update has definitely lowered the temps while browsing.
[Nexus 9 General] CandyAndy:
Well you surely have bad luck with the tablets, there you have the worst and second worst "premium" tablets which have had "joy" to experience.

I had tf701 for some months and while the keyboard was nice everything else was just horrible.
[Nexus 9 General] oRAirwolf:
I'll sell you my HP Touchpad if you would like. It's 4:3 and runs Android :) It's basically a giant, overpriced endtable clock at this point...lol
[Nexus 9 General] djck:
my conclusion

vote for iPad mini :D
[Nexus 9 General] sas4161:
Kindle 2014 rox ^^
[Nexus 9 General] mched:
I have the latest update and it does run a little bit better, but still not as smooth as I would expect from a Nexus device. I know that there is no perfect tablet, but I'm just not blown away by my N9. I'm trying real hard to stay in like with it. I'm an Android guy 100%, I have had the Xoom, Nexus 7 2013 and the LG Gpad 8.3 GPE. My daughters both have iPad Mini's and one of them has the second generation with retina display. I've been comparing the two and I have not really found anything that my N9 does significantly better than her mini, which really bums me out. What's worse, is the 2nd gen mini 32 gig is cheaper than my N9. I'm seriously considering returning it for one of those, the one thing holding me back is iOS.

Fortunately I have until January to return it to Best Buy.

Decisions.. Decisions...������
[Nexus 9 General] brushrop03:
I'm not expecting performance to 'significantly better' than an Ipad. Like all Apple iOS devices, the mini runs very smoothly. Don't think you can improve too much on that. I've been using it non-stop the past 2 days (6+ hrs of SOT), and it runs very smoothly. There is the occasional hiccup with the home screen re-draw, but that's very few and far between considering how much i'm using it. Haven't used it much, but my Nexus 7 doesn't suffer from that, so im sure updates will fix these issues.
[Nexus 9 General] Lokke9191:
I like the n9 more and more every day. I installed the r build a few days ago, along with chrome beta. The last full charge to 10% got 8.5 hours sot. Mainly using chrome beta and showbox. Im officially impressed.
[Nexus 9 General] ElementalXY:
Any Kernels installed or root?
[Nexus 9 General] Lokke9191:
Only rooted using chainfires auto root. No custom kernel installed. And to make things even better, the bottom corner opposite the camera used to depress when held and make a little annoying clicking noise. As of yesterday this no longer happens. There is still the tiniest bit of movement, but it no longer makes a noise. Its like it broke in, or something. I didnt push it, or press on any clips. I hope that makes sense. This tablet it great, and will only improve as updates and development pick up speed.
[Nexus 9 General] ElementalXY:
That's actually nice to hear. However may I ask how is the idle time going so far with it? I'm actually thinking of getting a nexus 9 and I'm still deciding between it and the iPad Air 2 based on the idle time along with performance and bug fixes.
[Nexus 9 General] wifesabitch:
I can't understand how anyone that is on xda could even consider an iOS device. I'd take a tablet running Honeycomb before any iPad. iOS is just that bad.
[Nexus 9 General] Lokke9191:
It usually drains about 4% while im sleeping if left unplugged. So about 2% drain every 3 hours or so. But I have google voice pushing my calls to it, as well as hangouts, and i have my corporate and personal email coming through all day and night, along with app notifications. I havent optomized it for battery life being that i top of the charge almost every night. But even if I did I don't see it going for a week or two on idle like some people claim an ipad can do. A few days, sure but a week... As of now probably not. If optomized and with future dev support and kernal, maybe in the future we can squeeze a week out of it on idle. Sorry I cant be more specific, I havent really paid much attention the idle drain.

But as for performance, the n9 is awesome. This things a beast. It definitely blows away the ipad air 1. I haven't used an ipad air 2, so cant speak to that. And bug wise, I flashboot flashed the latest version without using the flash all bat, and I have none of the bugs others talk about. Totally bug free here. This thing works perfect. Zero light bleed too.

The only bad thing I can say is it just doesnt feel as premium as an ipad. I wish they went with a different kind of back. The back does have nice grip, ill give it that. But the black one is a fingerprint magnet, and just feels and looks cheap. But I plan on throwing a case on it, and maybe a skin too for when its not in its case. So I can live with the back issue.

Ha. I was just about to hit "submit relpy" and noticed that clicking sound is back... Lol sigh. Oh well like I said Ill throw a case on it. Problem solved.
[Nexus 9 General] ElementalXY:
Thanks alot for the input really appreciate it! It's great to hear that it's developing quite well and as for the quality control issues I'll be waiting either way for the LTE version with the Sand Color option. Even if the problem still persists I'll be buying a case too that's for sure. I am all for functionality and the Nexus 9 after the app upgrades will get seriously better. My main use for a tablet right now involves media/browsing with Bamboo paper for notes. It shouldn't be that much of a problem in that case.

The only reason why I'm choosing iOS is because I'm using my current tablet with it. Android Lollipop looks great so far and very tempting and I would love to have the tablet instead of the air but the problem for me is the battery life. After seriously hearing that much of heavy usage from Lokke and waiting a bit for the LTE version then there shouldn't be any problems later on whatsoever once things get stable over time.

Thank you

Danny
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanttinkofaname:
Is....is that ONE sentence? I know you're new here, but if you want people to be able to accurately help you, you need to punctuate so we know what you're saying.

ANYWAY, If you can access the bootloader all is not lost. Have you got adb installed on a pc (windows 7 preferably)? If you do, plug your phone into the computer while in fastboot post the results of the command "fastboot getvar all" and edit out your serial number and imei. From there we might be able to find and run the correct ruu for your device. That might help recover the phone to a working state.

Hey there thank you for the reply . I am sorry about my bad grammar I actually don't have a windows computer Iv got a iMac is there anyway I can do this on my iMac . I really do appreciate your help thank you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Yes, you can run the commands on a Mac. This post FAQ #3 will explain the syntax. You will need if you don't have them already is the ADB and Fastboot programs. I'm not familiar with the Mac so I don't know how it works on the Mac. The download site will have instructions.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny6310:
Thank you I'll get that up and running. I also mite be able to get my hands on a windows laptop may work tonight but I'll post a reply with the results of the search thank you again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny6310:
Hey guys Iv tried on two different computers now but I don't no if it's because the phone is in fast boot but it will not install the drivers for the phone correctly

Do any of you guys know where I could directly install the drivers for the phone from Iv tried downloading htc sync but that didn't work
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Follow this procedure to correctly installed HTC drivers on your PC:

If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny6310:
It still comes up at unknown device when I connect regardless maybe I should try install it on another computer but I'll install android SDK and htc sync first or is that not the right way to go
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny6310:
Hey guys I'm not sure if Iv made some progress i read somewhere that someone left there's on charge for 4 days and that then calibrated the battery.

When I normally put it on charge the red light flashes at a normal pace and a normal brightness then when the battery logo comes up with the red ! It flashes faster but dimmer.

This morning I thought I'd try a different plug in the wall as mine isn't a htc plug it was a Samsung s3 charger. someone said to try charger it fast with my iPad charger so I used my plug in the wall and my lead left it for two hours and it actually looks like it is charger better the red light is flashing but it's flashing at a normal pace and normal brightness but I don't want to try turn it on incase it starts all over again.

What should I do guys should I just leave it will it try turn itself on or will it just charge
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanttinkofaname:
Typically the led will turn solid when charging and the phone will show a battery icon on the screen. Leave it to charge for a while longer see what happens. If nothing changes, turn it on again and try the steps we suggested in this thread.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny6310:
Still nothing but a blinking light Iv orderd another battery to see if that makes i change altho been told this is a new battery because now it won't charge I can't even get back into HBOOT menu because it's that flat
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Is your computer detecting your phone now? it's best not to have HTC sync installed at all as it will interfere with fastboot but shouldn't effect the drivers. You can uninstall HTC sync and leave the drivers installed.

If all else fails use Linux if Linux doesn't detect your phone nothing will. You can boot it from a live usb pendrive from a Mac or PC without altering the main os installed on the computer in any way.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Aronuser:
Let's get this straight, Lollipop just has arrived and it could as well be that he just stopped his development for KK only to start lollipop roms. Let's wait and see.

I appreciate sileshs work also greatly and hope it's not the end of it.

:eek: i really hope that he is fine !

as i say , by this thread ,i don't wait for others roms ,updates ...etc ... but he have done a very big "fresh air" on S4-mini development with builds of known andoid teams (resurection ,omni,C-Rom,DirtyUnicorns,Liquidsmooth...etc...) and he highly diserve a very very big recognition by all of members here like me !

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Silesh.Nair:
[MENTION=5040396]Miccia[/MENTION], I may have misunderstood the post, but if its intended for me, here's what I have to say.

Xda is about sharing knowledge, I agree. But it is also about users trying to learn. I have been on xda for a very long time and I can say with confidence that only 0.1% of users have any inclination to learn. Others don't want to learn. Hell, they can't even read. All they do is come here, download ROMs, flash them, complain if something is not working and troll. Now users who have asked me for help in compiling ROMs, I have helped them. A few users can vouch for that. And they know how much work is involved in compiling a ROM. I have made ROMs for your device even when I don't own one. I did this out of gratitude to Arne who was instrumental in getting cm11 sorted out for my device.

If you say that we have to keep sharing what we do irrespective of the behaviour of a few users, I am sorry. I cannot accept that.

There is a famous post made by xda moderator Zelendel about what xda really is. I am not able to find it. I will link it here if I find it. That post pretty much sums up what I have to say.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Miccia:
I fully agree with you Silesh, but I think it's impossible that in a community so large it is impossible not to find stupid people that have no respect, having said that my "Share the Knowledge" was not referring to you, God forbid seen that you have been a great dev that brought us a lot of ROM, and then I have a great respect towards you. I believe that when a person thank for your work is a great satisfaction that goes beyond what fools people can understand. I did not mean to offend you definitely Silesh :D Love your work :)
