Might have to try this when I get home. I'll probably swap back once CM 12 comes out. I enjoy following the bleeding edge in development. xD

You could also compile cm12 yourself from git. Supposedly they're mostly fixing bugs right now. I doubt it's really worth the hassle though.

OK after some shipping pains I got my Nexus 9. So the flex on the back is stupid, sure it shouldn't happen but it's so little that unless I'm looking at the back while pressing I can't even really be sure I can feel it at all 9/10 times. As far as the buttons go, they're fine to me, especially since I double tap to wake and have separate volume control on my Bluetooth headset so I don't even really need to use them. One thing Google didn't remember about the nexus 5 was their trouble with loose buttons though. My power button is loose on one side and slightly rattles if shaken but its not like on my nexus 5, much quieter. One thing I haven't heard others encounter is a sound bug. Occasionally when the audio starts there is some static however it also occurs through my headset so this doesn't seem like faulty speakers rather some software issue. On the other hand I think this is my favorite tablet so far. I love the design of the thing, its understated but I don't consider the tablet boring, the metal edging does make a difference. Until I drop it and prove myself wrong it definitely feels like its fairly durable. Nexus4lyfe

I barely use the sound on it, but notification sounds often have static when they start.

Yesterday evening my N7 2013 was telling me to download android 5, I accepted and a 350mb download started. Then I went to bed. This morning it's still stuck in 4.4.4 and telling me there's no update available. Did I miss something? e: apparently there are issues with android 5 on the N7 2013 so it's not a bad thing my update stopped. Just wondering what happened here.

Is the update app still running in the background? After the download completes it does prompt you to select a button to restart & install. Or you just need to restart.

I've been using it since it came out and it's been working better than it ever had under KitKat--even the Developer Preview was a vast improvement. I've read there are sometimes video playback issues. The update is not in background anymore and I restarted already. I might need to do it manually?

On the N7 it's fine, on the N5 and N9 there are wifi issues. I can't connect to my work wifi with either device. It's especially annoying since the issue was reported as far back as the first L developer preview. https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1548 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78702

Well this was somewhat unexpected: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/541672/Nokia%20N1.html At least the 4:3 screen ratio is a plus for me, EDIT: Rumored price is 249 USD. uncleTomOfFinland fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Nov 18, 2014 |

Apparently other users reported that the Lollipop update for N7 2013 was pushed and then immediately canceled so it might be normal, and Google trying to find a fix for the playback problems before pushing the update again.

MikeJF posted:Assuming it's in the Google Ecosystem then that looks seriously appealing. What happened to Nokia's Android fork, is that dead? Nokia X or whatever it was. I went to a dev talk about it and it seemed like a complete shitheap. They had something like seven different third-party app stores pre-loaded on the thing because it was clearly not going to get any kind of market share so they were just throwing Android apps at it from existing sources even though half of them wouldn't work due to Google-based dependencies. Every single person walked out saying "that thing is dead on arrival, just came for the free pizza and to see how bad it would be".

Tunga posted:Apparently it doesn't have any Google apps preloaded. It might be "fixable" with root and that'd be a pretty appealing price but we'll have to see. That was Nokia Devices, the part that they sold to Microsoft, I think? This tablet is actually from the original Finnish Nokia that still exists in the non-smartphone arena. It's complicated. The brand is spread now. But I don't know whatever happened with the Nokia X.

I like Nokia hardware design a lot (still have an N95 somewhere) so I'd quite like a tablet from them. Just wish that one was a bit bigger for reading A4 size docs.

Woop got OTA to Nexus 10. Feels a lot snappier, especially the task switcher is great, and some stuff like options and google now are better optimized for portrait - they have two panels. Feels like a new tablet now, we'll see how 5.0 works in the long run. No graphical corruption or crashes yet either! Edit: wow the volume slider is now on top of the screen, so it doesn't block videos etc nearly as badly when adjusting volume. Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Nov 18, 2014 |

My 2012 N7 was already struggling a bit and the upgrade to Lollipop did nothing to help it. So much slower now switching between apps and even just scrolling through Facebook it stutters and freezes. Guess it's time to grab a Shield.

LRX21R is now starting to roll out to the Nexus 9. For now, it looks like it's only going out to LRX21Q but it may also contain a fix for those currently stuck on LRX21L. No word on what it may fix.

I know the 2013 N7 is nothing fancy specs wise, but it still browses and reads forums etc. really well... would would I notice any improvement in general use if I got a Shield? I play a lot of games too but no fpses or anything that doesn't belong on a tablet really.

My Nexus 7 2013 charges incredibly fast on L, well faster than what it used to. It only takes 1 hour to go from 7% to 100% now.

I flashed mine when the factory images dropped. Still stutters pretty bad on Lollipop. Bought it at launch, I guess 2.5 years isn't too bad with it.

I don't play console games and don't even stream anything. I do own a Vita, DSL, and PC so I didn't need another gaming platform either. Also, the Shield doesn't look like it'll go on sale for BF/CM either

No word on what it may fix. I just got this update. It completed on its own, which is more than I can say about the last update they tried to send me OTA. Everything seems to be working fine on my end. This is lollipop chat, not necessarily tablet chat, but I was shocked to see that when I factory reset my Nexus 5 on lollipop, it backs up homescreens and wallpapers and such. So resetting a device is unbelievably easy now. Everything goes right back into place, you just have to update your passwords for apps.

Android always had a switch off animation (CRT-screen before). And comparing Lollipop to Vista is a bad joke, and I say that as someone who used Vista for 1.5 years. Lollipop made my N10 feel like a brand-new device compared to the dog it was under 4.4.4 and before. Nearly everything is a solid improvement over KitKat, UI-wise and even more under the hood.
