Based on the specs I've seen, N9 isn't breaking new ground. N7s have always been priced very competitively.

bawfuls posted:Sounds like I should just buy a 2013 Nexus 7 before they're all gone I would be surprised if the Nexus 9 is meant to replace the Nexus 7 line too. I think a smaller 16:10 tablet and a bigger 4:3 (although I'd rather have seen 3:2) tablet are different enough to co-exist. For the smaller size 16:10 makes sense, since you can hold it in one hand, while for the bigger one the more balanced and wider/less tall 4:3 works better. I hope for a 16:10 Nexus 8 as replacement for the Nexus 7 in 2015 actually.

DrBouvenstein posted:Tried that. The UAT downloaded the image fine, then I got this: In this case I'd guess you're probably right about bad flash memory anyway. Only other thing I would have tried is recreating the partitions from scratch (with fastboot). Edit: I googled that error and found this thread on XDA claiming that the recent bootloaders are just broken. I no longer own a N7 2012 so I can't test it but it looks like it probably wasn't your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417097 Tunga fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Oct 11, 2014 |

RVProfootballer posted:Maybe I read too quickly and you had already tried those, though I did, though I worded it poorly: DrBouvenstein posted:Previously, trying to get to recovery resulted in a bootloop. Any attempt to get into recovery (other than flashing the temp custom recovery,) just resulted in a bootloop. Tunga posted:In this case I'd guess you're probably right about bad flash memory anyway. Only other thing I would have tried is recreating the partitions from scratch (with fastboot). Yeah, I saw that as well. Being XDA, I didn't want to keep rooting through fifteen different threads to piece together whatever steps I might need to do to fix it. In any event, it was quicker to just mash two half-broken tablets together.

Does anyone know how the Nexus 10 compares to a device like, say the Nexus 5 in terms of performance? I know the 10 is pushing more pixels, but the 5 feels snappier.

It's a 2 year old SoC, so it's not terribly competitive nowadays.

Why are you trying to compare an old 10 inch tablet to a newer five inch phone?

Well I did for nearly a year. Just sold my N10 for the Nvidia Shield Tablet. My N10 felt nearly as snappy as my N5. Throughout the 1.5 years I owned it. But the N5 is noticeably faster. For the average user, I bet they'd say they were almost equal. The N10 screen is beautiful. Even to this day. Handled any game I installed. Still a very powerful device with a beautiful screen.

I just got this PendoPad (Android 4.22) for free because my sister got two of them with her phone contract or something, and it was working fine until I turned it off and back on again and now it's got the word "Demo" in big red letters across the screen and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I tried Googling and just turned up a bunch of people asking the same question with no helpful responses. Anyone here know how to fix this? Edit: When I woke up today I had a look at the tablet and "Demo" is gone, so I guess I don't need an answer to this any more. Tiggum fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Oct 15, 2014 |

Posted to twitter ... I would like it to be a new Nexus tablet, but I'm game for anything right now. If no new Nexus tablet is announced this year I'll just grab whatever is best on the Android market.

NVIDIA has leaked it accidentally already and actual reputable sources like Android Police (which have been right in the past) and the Wall Street Journal (which typically doesn't post a rumor unless they know it's pretty much happening) have posted about it. It's went through the FCC already and there's an image of the back. The only thing that's uncertain is if it'll launch on Oct 15, 2014 or not. Typically if that were the case, we'd have seen the press renders by now so who knows.

I have never used an Android device in the past, but I recently won a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 through a company contest. What steps should I take to get the most out of my device? I will really only be using it for media consumption and games. I know Android is considered to be vastly more customizable than ios; is there a good way to get started on that? Thanks!

If you're just using it for media and games you don't need to do anything fancy. Get MX Player for video and Pocket Casts for podcasts, Google Play Books and Kindle for books.

The Verge has a few more details: http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/15/6982223/google-htc-nexus-9-announcement-pricing-release-date 16GB is 399$ I was hoping for less, but probably still getting it.

Looks like there's going to be a keyboard dock too.quote:And since more and more people want to have the same simple experience they have on their tablets when they have to do real work, we designed a keyboard folio that magnetically attaches to the Nexus 9, folds into two different angles and rests securely on your lap like a laptop.

Lack of Qi is a real hangup for me. It's the difference between preordering this Friday and waiting and pondering the purchase.

So, the Nexus Player is Amazon Fire TV? Same remote, same game pad? But, no access to Amazon Prime streaming. Winner.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:Is this proven or just omitted so far? Just not enough info yet. I think there was some overreaction (That happens on the internet?!?!) and it was already shown that the n6 has Qi from motorola's website. There is still hope since google apparently didn't feel like sharing that info. That said, after some reflection, I'll be pre-ordering. I wonder if all the stores will have a pre-order up on Friday or just the play store. If I could get those sweet amazon points I'd like to :P

Can't help but feel disappointed in the nexus 9. Same price as a Nexus 10, lower resolution, 4:3 instead of glorious 16:10... blah.

What screen ratio is the iPad again? 4:3 right? The three brief weeks I spent with my Nexus 7 2013 made me come to hate 16:9 in a small form factor, is 16:10 that much better?

Is there a nexus 9/10 size comparison chart anywhere? Wondering how much smaller the screen really is without the huge bezels on the 10. Which I love the size of and am feeling quite reluctant to replace other than it's beginning to show its age.

So is nexus 7 out? If the page just had 9, 6 and player, I'd think "Ok, they are just showing the new stuff." But it has the Nexus 5 being on Lollipop. So the 2013 7 isn't going to get Lollipop right off the bat? I can't get to the play store at work, but it looks like the 9 is replacing the 7.

I'm not sold on the 4:3 aspect ratio and the pirce tag yet, but I guess I'll have to wait for some reviews first. My 2013 7 is still perfectly fine and I suppose I don't really NEED a new tablet yet...

I don't see anything with the Nexus 9 that might entice me to upgrade this year.

The 16:10 7" Nexus is a nightmare for reading technical PDFs that you have to zoom and scroll all over the place. I use my tablet to read 99% of the time, and I'm always noting how much better it is on my wife's iPad than my Nexus 7. I've had both 7s and the 10. I only got rid of the 10 because I changed jobs and instead of taking the train I biked, but once I got back on a train I bought the 7 because it was cheaper. After using the 7 for a few months, I want a bigger screen.

The form factor/Size is ideal for text that does reflow (Most eBooks/webpages) and media consumption while being extremely comfortable to hold and transport. 8 inch is an eBook replacement/video player with a lot more functionality. 10 inch is a laptop replacement, 9 inch 4:3 doesn't seem good at replacing either of those.

You want a 16:10 aspect ratio, with Tegra K1? Go with the Nvidia Shield Tablet. I was a Nexus 10 owner for nearly 2 years. Sold it for the Nvidia Shield Tablet. I also own the Nexus 5 for nearly a year. The UI on the SHIELD Tablet is pretty close to stock Android 4.4.2. Granted, it's not 4.4.4 and no word on getting Android 5.0 yet. But it's a fantastic device with an 8" screen. Get the wireless controller, hook it up to your TV via mini HDMI, switch to Console mode in 1080p and be impressed with the power and visuals and responsiveness. Insall any emulator or any game you want. It also allows expandable storage for when you run out of room. I absolutely love this device for $299. So I don't have any need for the Nexus 9. Yes Qi charging would be nice, but I haven't done it yet with my N5, so I still don't know what I'm missing yet, and I'm fine with that.

I use my shield for playing N64 games on my TV or wherever I'm at currently. Makes a pretty good console and I can plug in all my xbox 360 controllers for splitscreen games or games like Super Smash Bros.
