[Nexus 10 General] Jeevez:
I have mine still running. Battery lasts for minutes if not plugged in so it's a pretty stationary device for watching videos. 70% Netflix, 25% youtube and maybe 5% light web browsing. Happy it's still ticking along but don't use it for intense tasks anymore.
[Nexus 10 General] MichaelHall:
I just got mine yesterday! Mint condition: no yellowing, no dead pixels, no scratches (well, a minor one on the back), charges via USB no problem. It has Android 5.1.1. Should I use a custom ROM?
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
Wow your a late to the party! 5.1.1? It's been that long since I used 5.1.1 that I have forgotten what it runs like but I would definitely try a ROM, what have you got to lose as you can always flash back to lollipop.

Oh and getting back to the theme of the thread yes I still use my N10 but I wish I had bought a pogo charger back in 2013. The charge times for the device is painful.
[Nexus 10 General] apa64:
Still up and running on the unofficial Lineage 14.1. Mostly I use it for reading pdf roleplaying game rulebooks. Although a paper book is actually better and faster...
[Nexus 10 General] jsgraphicart:
I still use mine. It has no indication of wear and tear. Just the normal feeling of getting old. I'm about to replace it with a Lenovo Tab 4 10. I love the N10 but I'm ready to have a smoother tablet experience
[Nexus 10 General] weilunt0219:
I figured I'd chime in. I play Summoners War on mine but it doesn't last an hour. I keep meaning to get a new battery hoping it'll help. Also the MicroUSB port doesn't do data anymore but still charges. I blame that on the magnetic charger I've had installed on it for a long time now. It sucks though because I'm deathly afraid of soft bricking it at this point with no point of return haha...
[Nexus 10 General] rootedVette:
Mine is still going pretty strong, running 7.1.1. I'm mostly using it for reading O'Reilly Safari Books online, recipes while cooking, and the like. Media streaming is mostly relegated to the Chromecasts now.

I've said before and I still believe it: I think the Nexus 10 is one of the best pieces of technology I've ever bought.
[Nexus 10 General] MichaelHall:
Are you sure the problem is the MicroUSB port? When I received my used Nexus 10, USB worked to connect it with my PC, but within a day the PC stopped acknowledging the existence of the Nexus 10. So, I researched on the Internet and found that this happens if you disconnect the Nexus 10 without doing Windows' "Safely Removing Hardware and Eject Media". One guy RMA'ed his and got a replacement, and it worked briefly until the same thing happened, LOL. The solution is to remove the drivers from Windows and let them reinstall. Or try on another PC. Since I wasn't sure exactly which drivers to remove and my other PC has wonky USB ports, I haven't fixed the problem yet. Instead, I am using Wi-Fi and Windows Sharing to share a directory from my PC to the Nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 General] szachara:
I'm on lineageos 13, nexus 10 cpu is really slow compared to new cpus, but display is still superb, I'm still searching for new roms for nexus 10, android 9 would be amazing. But I'm not using tablet as extensively as few years before, I have some plans to sell my nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 General] weilunt0219:
That's very interesting. I'll have to try that one of these days!
[Nexus 10 General] jorgepedrero:
Mine is good almost as new and I'm still using it. I'm running Pie on it and is doing as well as the ROM allows it as it has several issues still. But the tablet keeps amazing and I would love if someone could port the Google Home Hub rom into it if this is kind of possible.
[Nexus 10 General] steveyyyy:
There are some roms of android 9. Its called LineageOs.

Mine nexus 10 runs still pretty well, even the battery. I put PhoenixOS on it soe i can have a Desktop environment.
[Nexus 10 General] slinkyvagabond:
Literally just picked on up on EBay to use with a bluetooth keyboard for a mobile workstation when I don't feel like bringing one of my laptops. Now to root and ROM... :)
[Nexus 10 General] Icetech3:
Still using mine.. still works perfect.. although slow with pie :( but i can't complain it has to be what 6-7 years old now?
[Nexus 10 General] heavybrea:
Just joining everyone

I've wanted one of these since they came out and just picked up a "Manufacturer Refurbished" one from eBay, about to put LineageOS on it (Unless someone has a better OS suggestion), wish me luck!
[Nexus 10 General] three west:
Still running, it is a dedicated YouTube machine on my workbench, and stays plugged in, but still going strong.
[Nexus 10 General] DjGeNeSiS:
Me too! me too!!

My Manta is like new! I've only done very little mileage to it and it's like new. I'm running 7.1.1 but I hate the camera not working so I'll just go back to stock I guess..
[Nexus 10 General] ericp2:
Mine is still up and running with LOS 15.1 aka Android 8.1. I tried LOS 16.0 aka Android 9.0, but composer issues keep the background image as solid black, and i had to periodically reset icon shape or they would just disappear. It's used mostly as a comic book reader for my kids, but working absolutely great for that purpose!

Note: I had to replace the battery about 2 years ago.
[Nexus 10 General] manta4me:
Nexus 10

Still running, upgraded to LOS 15.1
[Nexus 10 General] Willthor:
Bought it when it came out in Australia, over 6 years ago and still going strong :)

Replaced the battery a few years ago.

When I'm not using it, I just turn off the wifi and it will last for weeks!
[Nexus 10 General] Axel85:
Here I am , since I installed phoenix os + gapps + magisk my nexus 10 is back to life . I still use it even to work. With a cover and a keyboard of the same size, it's the perfect laptop replacement and performace are good
[Nexus 10 General] heartburnkid:
I still have an N10 doing light duty stuff. It's acquired a weird issue where every now and then the touchscreen stops working and I have to do a factory reset (or straight up reload the rom), but it mostly does OK.
[Nexus 10 General] ZeroSXS:
Mine's still alive and kicking usually just stays off as lol. what are the roms that people prefer to use? I wanna give my n10 new life.
[Nexus 10 General] Neffy27:
Mine is still alive, Wifey uses it to watch movies in bed but needs to stay plugged in to last more then an hour of something. I have replaced the batter already once last year. I flashed to 100% stock recently to be able to use it on the airplane. United Airline's personal entertainment detects root and won't play.
[Nexus 10 General] ThePx:
I'm here too! Mine got a battery replacement a couple years ago. Aside the occasional freezes/reboots it works just fine for Netflix/Media playback.

Btw, any suggestion on ROMs? I'm running on LOS 14 and I'm looking for something more "stable" (just less crashes, I know that the only way to get a performance boost is buying a new tablet).
[Nexus 10 General] Sammy's Manta:
ITs hardly used ... only want simple use of it ... Rooted via NRT I think (newbie) and stock ROM. But may have to try and unroot (optimizing apps on every boot issue). Love the screen/speakers for movies, etc.
[Nexus 10 General] Galaxyninja66:
Considering buying another if my iPad sells, but I might just grab a Nexus 9 instead.
[Nexus 10 General] Rada74:
Alarm clock

Still using mine on a stand by my bed as a bedside clock. I replaced the battery a couple years ago and it has been good since then.
[Nexus 10 General] Aximatic:
Mine works fine, with Lineage 15. I mainly use a Lenovo Yoga now, but the Nexus is still good for the news or eBook.
[Nexus 10 General] weilunt0219:
Welp, I know it's been a while, but I thought I'd throw up an update.

The steps I tried were:

Uninstall Device Drivers

Unplug Device

Restart PC

Plug in Device

That did not work. When plugging it in, it's recognized as a device being plugged in, but I get an error with

Thinking on this now, I have tried this before. Also unfortunately, I am now permanently soft-bricked as I have no system and no files necessary to even flash a basic OS back onto my tablet. I have tried it on multiple computers, any computer I've had access to in the past but no luck. They all have the same error. Since my device is not recognized, adb devices in TWRP shows nothing, and fastboot devices in fastboot mode shows nothing as well. I think I literally killed my tablet.
[Nexus 10 General] someguyatx:
Just dug mine out of the closet this week, put it away when I got a Note8 last August but I'm back on iOS again and needed to scratch that Android itch. Just installed lineage16 and goign to mess around with it a bit later.

On its second battery otherwise its running fine.
[Nexus 10 General] sushiboba:
I just dusted out my Nexus 10... I'm glad I bought the legendary Pogo cable back then.... mwhahaha I think my battery might be failing though battery status showed above 50% and it suddenly dropped to 0... =(

For an old ass tablet, it's still pretty good... though the Nexus 7 2nd Generation is way better/faster. This thing cost $300+ or something back in the day and now you can buy one for like $50-100... bargain. But it is heavy as hell and yeah, it will suck for those who doesn't own a pogo cable
[Nexus 10 General] akkis:
I still use it as main RSS reader and Netflix. My original battery dies at almost 25%. I use Google official 5.1.1 but I am thinking to change to some more recent ROM. Do you have any link for buying original battery? Also, any Rom suggestion?
[Nexus 10 General] LaserGuided1337:
Another New user oft the Mantaray reporting in!

Had the Chance to get my hands on an almost pristine N10 16gb w/o ans display degradation for 30 Euro ... and that was the absolute sweetspot for me.

Rolling with LOS 15.1 it will become my new daily driver for media, mails and office and I just love it.

Currently looking for a fitting 6pin pogo connector in AliExpress and planning to visit my local Hackerspace if the item ordered should fit to be used on the N10 to design a casing for a connector.

For oh lawdy, there are no pogo cables out there to get :)

I`m running a N10 32GB with stock 5.1.1. I have tried al lot of custom roms but stock doesn`t disappoint me in terms of performance and battery. Only thing i have that it dies around 15%

Already replaced battery and power/volume button strip inside. Right now more than 5 hours SOT. Don`t know if thats good or bad
[Nexus 10 General] kingsleycao:
?I just bought an Nexus 10 on Chinese eBay a few days ago, and I'm using the stock rom.
[Nexus 10 General] locuturus:
Running Lineage OS and on its second battery but still ticking after all these years. Manta proved to me Android was a real enough os to get actual work accomplished (with one hell of an awkward USB accessory forest on my makeshift desk haha). Still has a nice screen and speakers. Performance... not so nice anymore. Although Netflix runs better now than it did when Google still supported the tablet so there's that.
[Nexus 10 General] EmperorOfNyte:
I just ordered a Nexus 10 to use when I'm not using my Nexus 7 2013 . My Nexus 7 is running Lineage OS - Android Oreo 8.1 and is still plenty zippy.

But I'm hearing people say there are slow downs on other ROMs based on newer version of Android.

Do you guys recommend sticking with Stock or has there been success with 8.1 ROMs? I'm loving 8.1 on my Nexus 7.
[Nexus 10 General] Wisiwyg:
Still here, too. Replaced battery. Showing its age. Was lucky to pick up a used USB mag pogo charger. Will be loading LOS 15.1 soon. Is there a better option?
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
I prefer sooti's Pure Nexus ROM. Its Nougat though not Oreo. I'm using Lineage 14.1 and it runs a lot worse than Sooti's ROM. I'll switch back soon.
[Nexus 10 General] onoakino:
My Manta is still alive.
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
My Manta seems to have died. I flashed everything back to stock and it is having difficulty signing in. It often gets to the security prompt page but when I click 'yes it's me' on my phone the N10 says 'something went wrong'.

I managed to sign in at one attempt but then after downloading a few Google play updates my account disappeared.

When I was using custom ROMs it has difficulty loading webpages and would often hang with the bar at 80% forever stuck.

Maybe the WiFi module is knackered. Or the storage is shot.
[Nexus 10 General] cho9736:
my manta is alive but i need a battery replacement, anywhere to buy a new good battery?
[Nexus 10 General] akkis:
I have not buy this one but I will choose this item when I decide to replace mine. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32827215804.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.2eb03c00Cc1syB&mp=1
[Nexus 10 General] cho9736:
it almost as expensive as buying in amazon tho.....
[Nexus 10 General] akkis:
That's true, but it is the original one.
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
I doubt it's the original, they will all be fakes so just buy the cheapest.
[Nexus 10 General] jblaylock:
Mine's still up and running. I'm having major storage issues. I'm running very few apps, but it keeps telling me I'm running out of storage space.

Thinking about using Wug to go back to stock
[Nexus 10 General] gompka:
Mine is still going strong, i did have to change the battery recently, but that seems to have done the trick. I use it for random stuff while out and about and for streaming in my camper.
[Nexus 10 General] Trowel:
Still ticking along on 5.1.1. Have flashed in the past, but I factory reset so many times over the years that I eventually decided to stick to stock. Replaced the battery about 4 years ago with great success, and memory management tools make a big difference.

Mostly used for streaming games on a Saturday on Acestream, or YouTube Vanced with the toddler to keep him quiet.

Will miss the beast when he's eventually stood down from active service.
[Nexus 10 General] edikat:
I found a 16GB version for 80 euros with a two year warranty from the supplier, who are very reliable established company. Mint but slight scratch on the back, screen looks new... not even a slight mark.

Will keep on stock, seems very fast for my intended uses, that is reading PDF research papers, and Coursera offline application to view my courses offline.

I needed 10" and at least FHD because viewing papers on my Kindle HDX 7 was too small.... great machine and screen and battery life even... but damned small screen needed better...

To be honest in the UK finding a decent brand 10" FHD or above tablet for 80 euros isn't so easy !!!!

You've seen this, right?

[Nexus 10 General] NO_ob:
I only just got one i saw it cheap and couldn't afford it as i was 13 or something when it came out. I got a gnexus around that time though and loved it. I'm going to try and get postmarket os up and running as it seems quite cool

is there a way to make the system partition bigger as my device is only 16gb i cant isntall a rom+gapps and magisk as theres insufficient storage

Anyone know if anywhere is selling pogo cables?
[Nexus 10 General] LesterLyndon:
old google nexus 10

I still have mine. I have just reset it to factory settings to clear the clutter and make it more responsive. I am still on Android 5.1.1, but I am looking to upgrade. I replaced the battery a few years ago, and it's as good as new (nearly!) :)
[Nexus 10 General] mrsato:
Yep, still have and use mine. I didn't even know you could replace the battery. Definitely will look into that. I was actually researching a replacement - maybe cheap Chinese one. I have a Pixel 3 and love Android 10. I'm hoping to find a tablet that I can load that on (or comes with it). My N10 is it pristine condition. How, I have no idea. Oh, good case and screen protector since day 1. Right now I use it as a glorified Kindle mostly. I used to love playing RealRacing 3 on it, and it played it really well. But now everything is pretty laggy. Of course I'm running AOSP 8.1, which might be the reason. I actually thought I'd check XDA for new ROMs and info to see if I could still do something with this old thing... I seem to have an emotional attachment to it, but also, it's really not that bad. Doesn't compare to my daughter's new iPad Pro of course. LOL But I have zero interest in an IOS device. Just setting that up for her was SO frustrating. One of my biggest complaints is how Apple thinks it's being secure with all the account security/logins, PITA BS. I hacker would have an easier time of it than I do.
[Nexus 10 General] NO_ob:
I replaced mine a couple weeks ago you can still get them next day on amazon Used this guide youtube /watch?v=yru4k62qdEU Might be worth looking into xiaomis tablets I think they usually have good rom support

The battery replacement is pretty easy and batteries can be sourced cheap still.

[Nexus 10 General] rabarrett:
Mine is still running with the original battery without issues.

I recently installed LineageOS 13.0 and I can't seem to get the microphone or headset to work (the headset works only if you reboot with it plugged in, but then it won't work without headset until you reboot again).

I tried to install LOS 16, but I couldn't get gapps to work--kept saying it was too big for my 16G device.

I read a lot of posts in this thread with people asking for ROM recommendations, but there are remarkably few answers. To get my microphone and headphones to work properly, I was thinking about going back to stock or LOS 15 (though not sure I can get gapps to work). Any suggestions?
[Nexus 10 General] Soul0Reaper:
The wifi on mine is oddy slow, 5mbs via Google's speed test. Tried stock and custom roms. Its ok for consuming offline content and is left around the living room/bedroom.

Honestly it's worse than the previous gen 10in Fire Tab HD imo aside from the screen resolution/quality(maybe?). However I spent $$$ already on it so until it dies I'll keep using it lol.

I was writing this and saw your issue with Lineage 16. Check out this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78219279&postcount=1059 | the file you flash is here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77764246&postcount=957 (make sure to get the manta one)

You can modify how much is partitioned based on the name of the file but I used it as is. I could only get up to the micro opengapps to install though.
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
Pure Nexus Substratum was the best for me but the headphone out did not work. I'm not sure about the microphone.

For the gapps issue you need to use pico or nano from opengapps website.
[Nexus 10 General] strichard46:
I've had the tablet for a few years now and used it as an eBook for school. Battery would last about a week or so on standby and I still charge it with the pogo connector. I want to use it as a media device but all the 1080p video I try to play stutters or freezes on the media player so it just gathers dust when I'm not using it for school. Would love to see more work done it. I'm trying to teach myself how to code just to keep the device alive.
[Nexus 10 General] rollingdices:
I still have no need to replace it. I am using it for youtube, simple games and browsing.
[Nexus 10 General] Icetech3:
Sitll use mine almost daily, reading books mostly.. BUT.. the battery is starting to go.. it hits like 70% then just shuts off :( i'm on MM, not sure which rom but runs decently but showing it's age :(

Am thinking of replacing it with a 7" but haven't done research yet on what to get.. i love the 10 though :( so might just change the battery..
[Nexus 10 General] Neffy27:
Its used a lot less now but still working! Battery has been replaced once.

Pixel C just died, Nexus 10 still going, battery is completely gone, but it just stays plugged in on my workbench.
[Nexus 10 General] MrNegative370:
running PhoenixOS and my battery original and still lets me watch movies. Charging port is going out tho but otherwise its very good for reading manga and decent for drawing or writing notes with a stylus. I keep it around as a backup device because it is just so darn reliable!

TLDR; this is still a relevant device!
[Nexus 10 General] SpecRek9:
Hi mates, my N10 died some years ago, it stopped charging through the usb port, though I never tried with a pogo charger. In that sense, does anyones knows where could I buy a pogo charger?
[Nexus 10 General] msnjuegos:
My Nexus 10 is working fine for 7 years. It has the same stock battery and Android OS (5.1.1). I use it every day because I haven't got smartphone, so I have WhatsApp and others daily apps in my tablet. But I have a problem, since a while I haven't can keep running an audio or video in background (after locking screen), for example, in VLC the audio comes buzzy; in other app of meditation, the app stops play the audio if I lock the screen; etc. Anyone knows a stable release ROM?
[Nexus 10 General] rgudin:
Hi all...

I hope that corona virus gods protecting everyone here and in the world... with G. blessings

Like everyone I try to stay home and do some cleaning LOL.... AND... I would my N10 that i don't thin used more then a week.

all is great with it. clean, running on 5.1.1.

It happens to be that i just a drone from DJI (mini) a nice little drone... anyway.

SW of the drone flying program can't run on 5.1.1 it need 6 or 7 minimum..

long time ago i used XDA to root and flush my NOTE 2.. long long long time ago... (make me feel very old) :(

I forgot just about everything ( I did forget everything) about flushing...

would anyone point out a link where I can read and flush my N10 to higher number...

help would be highly appreciated

Please stay safe and thank you
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
Search internet for wugfresh to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. Look in forum 'Android Development' for a ROM with a higher number. I like Pure Nexus but others are good. Look for most popular and active threads. Anything by developer followmsi is good to flash. The thread should show you how to flash.
[Nexus 10 General] Galaxyninja66:
I'm looking for a new tablet and remember my Nexus 10 fondly. And I promised to myself that I'd pick up porting sailfish OS to it again when I got the chance, and since there is *some* Lineage OS 16 support I'm very tempted to pick one up again.
[Nexus 10 General] alibrarydweller:
Mine still lives mostly in my kitchen for recipes and the odd Netflix while cooking. The hardware is still in good shape, but I haven't found a current rom for it in a while that doesn't crash too much. I'd replace it maybe if there were more devices in the marketplace, but there are so few now.
[Nexus 10 General] -Vasek-:
Hi, I flashed this rom to my unused nexus and pass it to my father so he could watch movies on it. It works great for the purpose and I appreciate the effort in development, but now we would like to use it also for video calls. Obviously we need a working camera, what rom would you advise? Thank you!
