[Nexus 9 General] CandyAndy:
I am having hard times to decide which tablet to get. I am a long time Android user and just love my Sony xperia z3 compact tablet but I recently broke the screen and now looking for new one. I am considering between Nexus 9, Galaxy tab s2 or *sigh* iPad air 2.

To me it looks like that Android just doesn't have good offerings on the tablet side and I have to go to the dark side when buying the tablet. I am just so heavily invested into Android ecosystem that I prefer not to make the jump
[Nexus 9 General] Masteryates:
If you can get the N9 cheap enough, its a good bet. If you pay retail, you're going to be disappointed. :crying:
[Nexus 9 General] donloki:
So my nexus 9 finally died.. It cannot even boot without crashing into that corrupted screen state.. Factory reset did nothing.. Battery was at 100%.

The people thinking chrome was the cause have something to think about.. I think high memory and cpu usage was the cause. I also think a class action law suit against nvidia for selling something defective is in order... Also check the dates, this started before 6.0.0.

The 8" tablet pool for Android sucks frankly, I ended up picking up a Galaxy Tab S2.. This thing flies, which made the nexus 9's performance all the more disappointing. The Tegra in the nexus is garbage and nvidia sold us all a bill of goods.
[Nexus 9 General] dmantilal:
Jumping to conclusions?

I highly doubt high memory usage had anything to do with your hardware problem, and unless the CPU over-heated (temp sensors should emergency trip well before damage occurs), high CPU usage is not a problem, especially in a tablet with good heat dissipation (ever notice how quick the area near the CPU heats up when heavy system load occurs?).

Talk of a class-action seems premature, because even in a "this tablet sucks" thread, the unhappy Nexus 9 owners are the minority, and everyone knows the unhappy users are the most vocal.

Though, if you have some evidence to support your theories, I am listening, but otherwise...

My Nexus 9 bought 7 months ago is lightning fast with running Pure Nexus Rom and encryption set to OFF. This is by far the fastest device I have ever used. I never knew my Nexus 9 can be this much snappy, while running stock MM with encryption ON, the performance used to be on par with my Xperia Z ultra phone.
[Nexus 9 General] creambyemute:
Worst tablet (beside samsungs) I've ever owned. Even my old Nexus 7 is "faster".

Faster here means it doesn't lag and stutter all the time, it doesn't take up to 5 seconds to open chrome or google play music...

Yes custom Rom helps, but honestly this device is the worst Android Device I've ever owned in the state it's delivered. Just turned on my old Galaxy Nexus phone and even that one opens chrome and google play music faster.

No, factory reset doesn't help at all, the only way is to put on a custom rom and then miss OTA updates. Very good job HTC&Google!

I can't understand how people can defend this tablet?
[Nexus 9 General] maelfilk:
Using purenexus with decryption and fire-ice kernel, i can say i'm more than satisfied with nexus 9. It's blazing fast. As for overheating, there sure is, but even when playing Hearthstone cpu temperature barely beats 45 degrees C, which is absolutely fine.
[Nexus 9 General] Nidstang:
Just going out on a limb here, but perhaps because their experience w/ the N9 is different than yours?
[Nexus 9 General] Maraudeur:
Are you sure that everyone has the same issue as you? :) Don't generalize! For example, N9 is very fast for me, faster than my N5 and M8
[Nexus 9 General] Masteryates:
I totally get were you are coming from. I still have a Nexus 7 2013 as well as my Nexus 9. You are correct in saying that in stock, the N7 thrashes the N9 in day to day use. Google have had over a year to sort this out and have failed. :crying:

For me however, surfing the net, tap to wake and always listening make the N9 much more user friendly. :)

From Googles point of view, I don't think they will ever sort out this tablet and have other priorities now like the Pixel C. For Nvidia, why would they want to sort it out when it could take sales away from its own shield range?

If you want to stay on stock, I also think its hard to defend the performance of this tablet considering the high price.
[Nexus 9 General] creambyemute:
Not 100% but we experienced the same on our Nexus 9 test device at work. So I guess it's a pretty common problem on Stock firmware.

And yes, flashing a custom rom + custom kernel fixes ALL the lags. But that shouldn't be necessary for a Nexus device :/ (paired with a quite powerful processor).

Flashed custom rom and kernel yesterday again (I went back to stock for Android 6) and it's flying again.

What Google (Software) and HTC (Hardware) have built and released as a "premium tablet" is just a huge joke and there's no reason to defend that device with stock Firmware.

[Nexus 9 General] emlyn:
Signed up purely to post in this thread... Had always just lurked previously.

Had found my Nexus 9 to be hit/miss performance-wise. Battery life is great, but the re-draws, boot time, and length of time to start apps, could be unacceptable for the hardware spec.

It's nothing compared to my old Nexus 7, as that was hilariously slow.

Performance out the box, seemed pretty atrocious on the Nexus 9, until official 5.1.1 came out. I'm not sure if Tegra based tablets are ones to avoid, but based on the Nexus 9, and the Pixel C, I'd say flagship Google tablets would be worth ignoring, for average users... Comedy costs, for mediocre usability.

Put on PureNexus last night, with no encryption, and am amazed at the difference in speed. It's a completely different device, can't believe I've waited so long!
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
Most people buying nexus are going to flash a ROM anyways. But if someone doesn't want to, or doesn't know how, I would say skip the n9. I run stock from time to time. It's not horrible for my use, but no way worth the initial price.

An average user with no flashing ability (or desire), might feel pretty cheated. But it really depends on what you intend to use it for. If you're a gamer, and use graphics intensive games (especially those optimized for tegra) will be very pleased with it.

I'm no gamer though (I'm a normal grownup) and web browsing can be painful. So if you intend to use it for web browsing and movies (aspect ratio isn't movie friendly), you will likely be disappointed.

Like many have said though, a custom ROM and kernel makes it a great tablet all around.
[Nexus 9 General] ibpalle:
Also have had massive lag on both Lollipop and Marshmallow but after a factory reset the lag has completely disappeared so if you have any issues, try that.
[Nexus 9 General] PGHammer:
I have a question for those that dropped the Nexus 9 - how many of you also dropped Android altogether?

The Google Nexus 9 broke a lot of ground - which has been, in fact, part of the reason Nexus (as a program) existed in the first place.

1. Was - or wasn't - the Nexus 9 the first ARM64-based Nexus? (It's not as though there haven't been others, as in Google's own Pixel C and the nVidia Shield series - in fact, all three devices run the same GPU - the nVidia Tegra K1.) How many other ARM64 SoCs are there?)

2. How many Android developers have refused to move (out of their comfort zone)? I'm not talking JUST about the community - I'm talking about the OEM/ODMs as well. Samsung is the most obvious example of what happens when you generalize (as opposed to adopting a wider choice); while Samsung has many sorts of devices, they have two (and only two) SoC suppliers currently - themselves (Exnyos) and Qualcomm Atheros (Snapdragon). Never mind that nVidia did NOT make the dumb maneuvers that got Mediatek in hot water with the community (which explains the relative dearth of MT6xxx (and larger dearth in terms of MT8xxx)) community ROM development outside of Asia, despite that more is known about the K1 than most ARM64 GPUs (in fact, how many ARM64 SoCs have AOSP support at all?); it's like the K1 has been thrown off the bus as soon as Google ended official support for it in the Nexus 9.

3. How much of the Tegra K1 angst is about it being ARM64 (as opposed to ARM)? Yes - I get it; ARM64 is different. It is, in fact, different enough to be a challenge. However, I've seen the angst before - in terms of the PC; in fact, I'm STILL seeing it - in terms of both AMD64 and multicore support (not in the OS space, but in the application space and computer gaming space as well). Thing is, Google did most of the scutwork for us - ARM64 is a valid target in the Android SDK; how much harder is it - really - to write AOSP for the Tegra K1 as opposed to even AMD64 or x86 - let alone ARM. nVidia is NOT MediaTek, for crying out loud!
[Nexus 9 General] basketor:
Tegra tablets are trash.

I have Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 9 and they both have similar problems like hanging, the internal memory feels slow.

I will avoid them.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hophead75:
I got the 16 gb model of the X Pure because I figured with the expandable memory with SD Card, it would be something I can deal with. So I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery. I configured TWRP to use the SD Card to store backups. While installing apps, I noticed that I was getting an out of storage message. The storage area in settings is telling me that the Miscellaneous category is consuming 4.51 gb and TWRP is listed as consuming all of it. I tried checking the box and deleting it, without success. I checked the internal storage areas for TWRP and all of the folders appear to be empty except for the external sd card. This is very frustrating. Any advice on this?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djramod:
definitely something is not right with your device, i hope someone can help you soon
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tele_jas:
Check your TWRP folder on your device and make sure it doesn't have the backup in it? It should be pretty small without a backup (mine says 0.0kb). I did a TWRP backup (Nandroid) after all my apps downloaded and it's just over 8gb.

Here's a shot of my internal storage.

Hello guys, I already installed 5.1.1PR to my H950, feels good.

But it seems can only link to tmoblie hpsa (or wcdma?)

May I ask anyone knows how to link to Tmobile LTE by 5.1.1PR?

[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
Maybe I found the solution.

You must be root.

Edit /sysyem/build.prop

there are 2 lines to edit:

ro.telephony.default_network=9

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0

That lines must say

ro.telephony.default_network=10

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1

There is the diference between both sysyem partitions in ATT and Claro rom.

you have lte so you can test it.

I modify that lines in my phone to make shure thats no problem and works perfect

that lines are behind ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES

Try and tell us

But not work at all, don't know why.

Now my os is v15a 310 410
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
whats the problem with root?

steps are simple:

1 - Download the image H950PR V15A

2 - Download the software created by sj12345

you must have LG drivers, but if you flash PR version, you must have it.

3 - open the software and backup yout image, the image will be created in your phones´s internal storage (you can copy, move or whatever you want, but keep it to keep you save if you make a mistake, you can run the tool again and reflash system... till you dont modify anything else than system, that backup must work)

4 - open with winrar or some software to uncompress the image download, and copy the img file to the internal storage of your phone.

5 - then run the tool, the phone will reboot, start in download mode again and when finished, the phone reboots and start with root.

It's more simple than flash PR version

[LG G Flex 2] thomasonline3:
Hi zc3721, I was wondering if you were able to resolve this issue? I am having the same problem trying to use the Unlocked AT&T H950 with T-Mobile and I like everything about this phone. If anyone can chime in, that'll be great! I made a list of everything i've done:

1) AT&T H950 5.01 to H950PR 5.1.1, Rooted, Band 4 selected through the hidden menu/Shortcut Master Lite app

2) Also deleted the /cust/CLR_PR folder and factory reset after clearing cache/dalvik/full wipe even.

3) Also changed the Build.Prop file as suggestion above with no difference.

4) APN updated/changed to the fast.t-mobile one as well.

Upon restart, I can place a call, but shows I'm only connected to HSPA+ once I go in the hidden menu and change it to Band 4, sometimes I'll get LTE on top or 4G but I am unable to receive data or make a phone call. I'll just try to make a call and it'll end before it even dials. Any input/suggestions from anyone?

Also am I right to believe that a ATT 5.1.1 image has been pulled and can I just flash that over my H950PR 5.1.1? from here:

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/development/lg-g-flex-2-ls996-zv6-sprint-5-1-1-t3169212

Can I just flash it to that and be back to stock AT&T 5.1.1? I know you can't do PR5.1.1 to AT&T 5.0.1 but is it OK to go from PR5.1.1 to AT&T 5.1.1? Any help would be awesome, thanks!
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
You can try it. I dont think it work, but you can try.

I have no problem at all with band 4. with no touching anything in hidden menu.

I flash with cse mode, I start the system and configure first startup, I root with sj image, then remove everything in cust folder, and change build.prop, that 2 options, and dual window mod.

REMEMBER TO KEEP A BACKUP IN THE PHONE INTERNAL MEMORY, SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO THAT SYSTEM.IMG

if you try to flash this system, keep both, att and PR one, so you can go back into download mode and do a dd again.

dd works same as linux:

dd if=origin of=destiny

origin= image to flash

destiny= partition to flash

keep in mind that upgrade ATT rom maybe make the phone unable to downgrade, and maybe dont boot at all cause ATT image maybe cannot boot with claro bootloader...

maybe yes....

[LG G Flex 2] firstrival:
Actually, problem "fixed."

After making this build.prop change, I noticed I have many more options for Preferred Network Mode under "Mobile Networks." I have attached a screenshot.

Previously, I only had GSM only or GSM/WCDMA preferred, which is what the phone defaults to each time I go to this menu.

I just have to select the last one, "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto," and I get full LTE speeds. and the phone shows "LTE" for data. However, if I go into the Mobile Networks screen again, it will revert back to GSM/WCDMA and I have to make my selection again.
