[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arl16:
I just got the Black Screen of Death for the first time after owning the phone for 2 weeks - pretty alarming when the phone is unresponsive, you can't reboot with the power button, and you can't pull the battery. (Coming from an S5, this is my first phone with a non-removable battery). Even though I knew my phone was fully charged, I tried plugging it in, and didn't even get the red LED. Not good.

After a little Googling, the solution I found that worked for me was: Press and hold Down Volume + Power at the same time for 7 seconds.

This brings you to a screen with some options, the first being to reboot like normal.

Volume toggles up and down between the options, but be sure not to choose option 2, which is a factory reset!

The Bixby button selects, so I just clicked on option 1, and I was back in business.

This apparently does a "simulated battery disconnect". Assuming it was some sort of firmware crash, this should bring you back to life. It did for me. There are other suggestions on the page if it doesn't work, but I was good to go after step 1. Hope it helps...

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amyf27:
I had the same problem. Well mine showed the AID display but was completely unresponsive for like 30 minutes. That thing you did helped. Shortly after I did a full factory reset and been fine since
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tonycstech:
Not working

I followed rooting instructions on https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/development/root-t4128321

and now my phone wont even turn on at all, not even a sign of life after bootloader was flashed
[Nexus 9 General] Divine_Madcat:
So, while i realize things are pretty quiet here, i figured i would give a friendly hello to the community. While shopping around yesterday, i ran across a 9 (black, 16GB) tucked away in a store (used of course). Despite knowing the reputation of the tablet, i figured what the heck; everything looks good on it (buttons are firm, no major bleed, screen is sharp), and its only $80.. why not. As it was, i was looking for something better (and more supported) than my Asus Z580CA (gotta love x86 chips in Android tablets.. ugh). I had been mulling over a K1 Shield, but the prices are just too high, and the Pixel C even more so.... so the price point here satisfies my larger tab desires.

Truth be told, after unlocking, and putting LOS (and FED) on, the tablet is actually really fast; and i will dare say noticeably so compared to my Asus (with double the memory and cores). No denying the Asus is lighter and thinner, but at the cost of usability and battery life (no room for a battery, really); i actually like the firmer bulk of this guy.

Anyway, i realize there may not be many out there to read this, but either way... one more reporting in for the ranks! :)
[Nexus 9 General] f0li0:
Welcome aboard ? I just picked mine​ up recently too. I owned one in the past when they came out and ditched it because of the seemingly unfixable performance issues, but now 3 years later I'm fairly happy with it.

It's running nice and smooth on Slim weekly 1.5
[Nexus 9 General] andyroidking:
I'm still around too. I used it for 6-8 months when it came out then my son used it for about 2 years with only minor issues. Towards the end of his use we started seeing the fast battery drain issue. When I went to re-root it I found the USB port would work with ADB anymore. So after much diagnosis I decided to suck it up and spend $10 on a replacement daughter board from Ebay. Works like a charm now. Funny thing is I really wanted to root it to find the battery drain source but since swapping out the USB daughter board, rooting I haven't seen the issue anymore. It may have been a bad port all along. I did however install Flar's kernel which may also have helped?

TL/DR - Still a good tablet. My 2 cents.
[Nexus 9 General] swaaye:
I have a bunch of tablets, including a Shield K1. Just got the Nexus 9 a month ago or so. I've always wanted to own one because of its unique CPU. It is pretty fast indeed with one of the custom OSs here.

It certainly gets warm though if the CPU doesn't get its idle time. Pretty easy to get it to throttle back the clock speed due to heat there. Still, the Denver CPU was a speed demon in 2014. Pretty nice for web browsing! I'm going to guess that NVidia didn't use the Denver K1 in the Shield Tablet because of the power consumption of these big CPU cores. Not a good idea in a smaller gaming-oriented tablet. I feel it's similar to if Intel tried to put a Core M in a small tablet. Beefy CPU and GPU that aren't exactly super low power.
[Nexus 9 General] machochico:
Picked up the nexus 9 and like some of the feel, etc pretty responsive as well. Not loving battery life however. Any recommended rom/kernel/settings for good battery life? Use it mostly for a few games but getting like 4 hours right now...
[Nexus 9 General] albsat:
Well, being late in nexus 9 party, means you have saved some money. Nexus 9 runs much better with nougat.
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
Purenexus is doing me well, with the included kernel.
[Nexus 9 General] machochico:
Thanks for the recommendation, Are you using the 6.0 version of PureNexus or [ROM][N9 flounder][UNOFFICIAL][7.1.2_r24]★ Pure Nexus ★ Substratum ★[07/25/17]?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
[ROM][N9 flounder][UNOFFICIAL][7.1.2_r24]★ Pure Nexus ★ Substratum ★[07/25/17]

I mainly use it for playing movies. I watch downloaded movies from a USB stick and I get several hours of screen on time. I usually do about 3-4 hours of driving for work, and watch movies along the way (I know, horrible idea safety-wise) and I usually have 35-40% battery life left.
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
Thanks for this thread. I'm late to the party too!!

I'm thinking about getting the Nexus 9. if i would have saw one for 80 bucks, I would have gotten it too with out thinking.

I'm also glad to see that many on here are still using this device and have some great input.

I was about to get one off of swappa, but looking around to find the best price. I actually need one by end of next week.

I use it for movies of cource, but taking notes and sometimes document work. So I will be also looking for the best keyboard too.
[Nexus 9 General] Xaiux:
I might be getting one for about $200 CAD, used but looks to be in good condition. My other option is waiting and saving a bit for a Pixel C, but those are really hard to find and about $300 more. What sort of SOT do people get on LOS?
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
Mine should be delivered tomorrow will by up all night Rooting and Roming. I will compare my SOT with the iPad mini I'm getting rid of.
[Nexus 9 General] jk8260:
Yep, me too. Glad to see happy users, I have always wanted one and with the Pixel C prices being soooo much higher and the 'no root' options for the ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 I figured I'd grab a 'Like New' used model off Amazon for $200 with the 30 day option to return. But I love Nexus so much probably will just keep it no matter what (unless it has some of the 'issues').

Should arrive today :D
[Nexus 9 General] ustech:
Welcome, and I am late to the party myself. Just picked up a 32gb Nexus 9 LTE refurb but I bought it to set up a hacking tablet or PWN PAD.

Just got it today and haven't rooted a device for a few years now, but it's like riding a bike haha. Brings back great memories of the first device I ever rooted which was my HTC EVO.

XDA Community is a great source of solid information.

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
I love this tablet, 32 GB with LTE, way better that the ipad Mini LTE i was using. Plus I dont have to worry about apps being deprecated for my system version.

I use it mainly for content sling TV, netflix, youtube and some of my own movies.

I rooted it and i'm using the lineage OS rom and it is great.

trying to catch up on my superhero movies, I watched CA winter solder and CA civil war. on one charge with plenty of battery left.

looking forward to doing more with this tablet

does anyone have a recommendation for a keyboard case to use. I used the ipad mini to take notes at meetings and would like to do this with a good keyboard

tfw nexus 10 pleb
[Nexus 9 General] Monfro:
Just jumped in.

I missed the days of the first Nexus 7 :)

This tablet has potential even now 3 years after release: Cuda+Vulkan have already been enabled by our devs.

After setting stock rom i have already understood performance of stock roms :)

Next days I will start experiments
[Nexus 9 General] heyChristo:
i was thinking of trying to get a shield tablet but it looks like you cant find them anywhere but after seeing prices of the N9 on swappa, seriously thinking about picking one up. My TN7 battery only lasts like an hour and turns into a nuclear furnace when I turn it on. just rooted my moms trustee old N7 which she has kept in mint condition. I am excited about the chance to pick one of these up for about $150 just to play around with them and check out the capabilities. You can't beat the bang for the buck from what I see.
[Nexus 9 General] ali_ge:
Hello everyone, i am also thinking to buy one, just curious that Nexus 9 will get oreo Rom or not. I already searched the forum but no words about oreo.
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
There are a couple of experimental Oreo roms. The only problem is hardware acceleration for video doesn't work.
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
for those lat to the party, what keyboard case are you using?

I want to have keyboard and case in one.

the HTC keyboard folio is way to much for this tablet where i can find it.

I missed out on and auction on a working one. the reset out there (HTC) are way over priced or don't work from what i have seen.

I was looking at this one ZAGG Folio Case, Hinged with Bluetooth Keyboard for Android Tablets (10-inch)

but not sure if it fits the nexus 9
[Nexus 9 General] ali_ge:
Thank you for replying, what you guys think 32g is enough for youtube, movies, light games.

Because i am getting 32g for around 120 USD and 64g wifi 220 USD
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
I don't think there is a 64g.

I thought they only ever came in 16g and 32g

If you are streaming then in my opinion 16g is enough, but I like to keep movies on mine so i got the 32g
[Nexus 9 General] a8ksh4:
Another one late to the party here. I just bought an N9 LTE on swappa, hope to see it in a few days. It was kind of an impulse buy, but if I don't use it, family will. I like the idea of an almost laptop that I can use for programming and stuff away from home. The performance of these looks great compared to the 2013 N7! It'll probably get get a Lineage build.
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
Lineage ran great on the N9. I never had any problems with it and it was still getting updates which was great.

I just recently change to SlimRom to test it out, but if I don't like it I'm going back to Lineage for sure.
[Nexus 9 General] Galaxyninja66:
HA HA its funny I posted in this thread "tfw Nexus 10 pleb" earlier but I just recently bought two Nexus 9's (one is broken, one has wifi issues, gonna swap parts and get a perfect tab!)
[Nexus 9 General] im_electronic:
Just bought a wifi nexus 9 for $65, some rubber wear. What's the best ROM for gaming? Updated guide to flash from stock 7.1.1?
[Nexus 9 General] Monfro:
Format data+cache to f2fs file system.

I suggest unlegacy Android + fire-ice kernel (I was using November-december release of both)
[Nexus 9 General] ibrag474:
I'm going to buy it from the Ebay auction and price is around 60$, so I'm here to ask whether or not to buy Nexus 9 in 2018, is it still usable?
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
Depends what you will use it for.

I rooted and rom'ed mine to get rid off the battery draining google play services.

I use mine for streaming content. from Netflix, slingTV as well as other non-play store apps.

taking notes and surfing the web when I can't use a computer, but want a larger screen.

for $60 it would be a nice toy to play with.
[Nexus 9 General] ibrag474:
Thank you for the fast reply. I will use it to watch 1080p videos from youtube. How about the performance, have you solved the problem of Nexus 9 slowness, which rom do you use?
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
I'm using SlimRom - Android 7.1.2. and older on but very very stable.

I have not been out there looking for any Oreo Roms yet. I have been happy with what I do with it. mainly streaming content.

I honestly don't notice any slowness for what I do. I'm not trying to to do much with it any more but stream content and maybe surf the web every once in a while.

And sine Android is not the other mobile OS I can continue to update the apps I use with out any version limit. :good:
[Nexus 9 General] ronald_loulan:
Just receive my Nexus 9, bought cheap.

Tried to flash LOS but got gapps problem.

Downloading Slimrom now..

Btw did you tested other rom too??
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
I tried lineage, nitrogen and some others.

I don't use gapps so I never install them or the services
[Nexus 9 General] ElwOOd_CbGp:
running AICP 7.1.2 on my 32gb I've had a couple years. still running strong with FireIce kernel. I use it mostly to watch TV shows with kodi laying in bed since I'm too blind to see the TV without wearing glasses. I know it's days are numbered tho and haven't seen anything I want to replace it with so I've been nagging oneplus to build a tablet every time I see them post on twitter
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
Exact same setup here. Pretty much same usage as well.
[Nexus 9 General] 4everAnoob:
Which is the best Rom?
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
Funny this thread was just now updated, I like Slim ROM, no GAPPS, barely uses any battery.

I was just looking around yesterday to see if there was a newer ROM for the LTE version.

All the newer ROMS only seem to be for WiFi models.
[Nexus 9 General] LaDrOIdBoy:
Extremely late to the party here, been wanting a Nexus 9 since it came out but I'm an absolute peasant- Ebay purchase arrived today

No research really done on common issues, just gonna trial and error some ROMs I guess and see what they run like on this thing :) any recommendations considered
[Nexus 9 General] qnc:
I just went back to stock android because I was having problems syncing my keyboard folio.

I like the AICP set up listed above and may try to do that tonight.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

wha are you kernel settings?
[Nexus 9 General] ElwOOd_CbGp:
Sorry for the late reply lol I've been running the same set up on the N9 this whole time and after all the time it took me to set everything my phone up how I wanted, I was a little burned out on xda. I've been running the FireIce stock settings, how it comes is great but I'm starting to have issues. I'm not sure if it's the kernel tho. System ui wont expand further than the little strip of quick settings, even the notification shade is gone and stock nav buttons (home/back/rec) are unresponsive. DUI long press shortcuts work luckily that I had set up a basic search/drawer app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devhomc.search that launches apps from anywhere so I'm still able to watch my shows and sh!t. It's all I really use it for so I haven't taken the time to figure out what the deal is. It came out of nowhere. I think that's how I ended up back over here. I forgot lol
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] egominus:
After a long research for finding a full backup method for an unrooted OnePlus 5 android, I'm now asking if anybody can help.

I have tried using ADB.

adb backup -apk -shared -all -obb -system -f "C:\backup.ab"
adb restore "C:\backup.ab"

Here I have to

But it does not restore everything. So I don't fully trust ADB.

Then I thought, what about backup the partitions to image files, and later be able to restore them via fastboot or something.

So my question is,

can you make a backup using "fastboot", to an image just like a rom with personal data.

Or if this is not possible, then can you use linux tool dd to make image backup of my Phone?.

If there is nothing left, but to root? Then I have seen a lot of tools, apps and windows utilities to make a backup.

But what do you recommend I use?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chrismast:
Easiest and safest would be to just do a nandroid from a custom recovery. If I am not wrong, this works also unrooted if you flash the recovery via usb.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] B0unze:
yes but you still need to have unlocked the phone
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 3DSammy:
Also any custom recovery requires you to root (SuperSU or Magisk) because as soon as you boot to the system the custom recovery will be automatically be replaced with the stock recovery. So in effect to create a nandroid backup means being unlocked, having a custom recovery and flashing a root solution. You don't need to alter the ROM any more than that though.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] BenSow:
What do you mean by it does not restore everything? I'm planning to root my phone but want to create a nandroid backup first
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] egominus:
I have trouble backup with ADB, sometimes it hangs. And according to this link https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351 it does not backup everything like SMS and Call Logs. And pictures can have problems.

I also have problems with ADB hangs, and does not finish.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] egominus:
So now I'm a little confused? Because you say I can boot into nandroid from a custom recovery.

What do I need to boot into custom recovery?

Do I need to unlock phone? Because this will wipe my phone, and would rather not.

Can I boot into custom recovery directly from image, without flash anything?

If I need to flash custom recovery, then do I need to root my phone?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] egominus:
I think I have the answer my own questions. But please correct me or tell me if it's the right direction.

According to this link https://aubykhan.wordpress.com/2013/07/21/android-tip-boot-into-twrp-or-cwm-recovery-without-flashing/ I can boot into custom recovery. But I need to Unlock my phone first. But the question remains, can I make nandroid backup without root, because here http://trendblog.net/android-guide-make-nandroid-backup-android-phone/ it says I need root?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chrismast:
Yes, you will need an unlocked phone.

To my understanding you can then flash a custom recovery via usb whereas after reboot of phone it will be reset. This allows you though to boot into custom recovery and do a quick nandroid. Again I might be wrong, I thought you do not need root for this process but maybe someone can correct me.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] OcazPrime:
Ur probably just going to need to hook it up to a computer and take everything off then just spend some free time logging back into each app. The only way i know without doing this is an app called Huawei Backup. It keeps all settings and logins for each app. If you can somehow find a way to install it on a one plus device you would be okay. Try an older version or inject it somehow.
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] thedeadfish59:
Okay there is plenty of Eleven Music app threads, Eleven Music app basically made by Cyanogenmod which is dramatically cool, fast and simple music app! I tried many version of Eleven on Android 7.1 based roms but ended up with failure so I though to share the apk with you guys which is working perfectly on 7.1 based roms for Moto G 2014, you may give a try to another devices, I dont own anything, I am just sharing the extracted apk :) Cause I asked may forums for the apk and didnt get the proper response and many stuffs, I dont want that you guys face the same lol :p Enjoy!
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] Nonta72:
Downloaded the app, tried to install it and got "Error parsing package file".

I run AOSP 7.1.1 (not Moto G4).
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] thedeadfish59:
There are some issues to run Eleven on AOSP based roms, idk why, but it worked perfectly on LOS14.1 based roms, but still as you are saying parsing related error, try re downloading and give a shot
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] Nonta72:
I pushed it to system/app/Eleven

Rebooted, and it was in the App Drawer. But it would force close.

Logcat showed that it needed librsjni.so.

I copied that lib from LOS14.1 of my phone and it worked in AOSP 7.1.2 normally!

Thanks!!!
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] thedeadfish59:
Woah, thats cool, thanks for the suggestion, I will make a flashable zip with that lib then!
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] thedeadfish59:
can you share the librsjni.so you replaced? mine isnt working at all even after replacing
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] Nonta72:
I attached the whole package!

(Sorry for late reply)

how does work lyrics in this app?
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] Morpheuspt:
Same thing as anas sami, I'm pressing a song but nothing happens.
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] animodane:
If it's not playing the song you have to go into the app. Settings and allow it. To modify system settings and enable. All permissions then restart the app
[G 2014 Themes and Apps] ambivalence_ru:
hey, guys, could you explain how you managed to make it work? I don't see any system/app folders on my device (Meizu 15Lite, 7th version). Even though this seems to work fine, I'd like to make it myself with the original package. Thanks.

ps.

found the folders with root, however still no idea how you've done it. copied 64 lib to lib64 and, just to be sure, the regular arm to lib folder on the system directory.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] h0mersimps0n:
Since my first ROM flash (and who knows maybe before that) I have had tremendously hard time getting PIE to connect to the internet. What's strange is that after I install opera MINI it connects and loads pages no problem despite the fact that PIE loads nothing.

I need to download some files and I've tried:

-rebooting phone

-deleting cookings

-deleting files

-deleting history

I'm using the WAP.cingular settings because the ISP.cingular really don't seem to work at all (PIE doesn't work in either - I THINK MINI only works with WAP settings).

I have the Cingular Personal unlimited DATA with the 1500 text messages.

Any ideas why PIE is so problematic

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] JwY:
Did you registry edit any of the cache or history, etc to the card? If so, move it back to the original settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] h0mersimps0n:
No one else is having problems connecting to the internet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Master_H:
No, I have the same problem. :-)

Opera Mini works fine but PIE does nothing. I don't have any clue why.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dru858:
I can ONLY get online with PIE and not with any other app (Sling Player, Google Maps, Opera, etc). I don't know why, either. I hadn't changed a thing. It just started happening tonight and it's happening on my Tilt and the wife's Blackjack. Makes no sense whatsoever...
