Nexus 9 notification light android#
HTC's Google Nexus 9 is the very first device to feature Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop (Build LRX21L) operating system. The battery is non-removable and cannot be exchanged by the user. The volume rocker of our review sample was not inserted evenly into the casing, which made it difficult to feel. The primary camera on the back juts out of the casing in some places. HTC relies a lot on thin wires and tape here. Although that makes opening the Nexus 9 easy, our colleagues at iFixit gave it 3 out of 10 points for maintenance, which is not particularly good. That is because the back is kept in place only by plastic clips that pop out when the casing is twisted. Light warping attempts led to audible creaking noises and loud cracking noises in some places. Stronger pressure will even cause waves on the screen. There is quite a bit of space between the back cover and the innards so that it is easy to dent the device. The back is rubberized, which provides grip but also captures every fingerprint. The rest of the tablet is completely comprised of plastic.

The back can only be clasped by a big hand.Ĭorning Gorilla Glass 3, which closes flush with the casing's metal bezel, protects the screen. Users with small hands will have difficulties holding it in one hand. The dimensions of the bigger Nexus 9 also surpass those of its rivals. Both the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (301 g 35.83 g / in) and iPad Mini (331 g 41.90 g / in) are the lightest. Although the premium contenders are all a bit smaller, they also have a lower weight-per-inch of screen diagonal. HTC's Google Nexus 9 does not belong to the slimmest of its kind and weighs 422 grams.

However, larger premium tablets like the iPad Air 2 are rivals seeing that the new Nexus places itself right between both iPad models. Among them are Huawei's MediaPad M1 8.0, LG's G Pad 8.3, and Lenovo's Yoga Tablet 8. Some contenders of HTC's Google Nexus 9 are Samsung's Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Nvidia's Shield, and Apple's iPad Mini 3. Other tablets featuring the same screen size usually have a weaker configuration and are thus also cheaper. This time, the tablet has been built by HTC, which has not been particularly successful in the tablet sector so far. The graphics unit is the same as in the K1's 32-bit version and promises plenty of power. However, it has to be satisfied with 2 GB of working memory. In order to use the SoC's 64-bit qualities, the tablet relies on Google's latest operating system: Android 5.0 Lollipop. The 64-bit processor has two cores that can clock with up to 2.3 GHz each. The Nvidia Tegra K1 (Denver) takes care of the performance. An LTE model has been announced and is to be available before Christmas. Besides that, Google charges around 10 Euros (~$12) for shipping. Apple sells 64 GB of storage for the same money.

479 Euros (~$593) is due for the bigger 32 GB model. That at least applies to the 16 GB version that should cost 389 Euros (~$482). Unfortunately, Google's customers have lost an affordable reference device in this category with the Nexus 7 because the Nexus 9 moves within similar price ranges as Apple's iPad Mini 3, and that is anything but cheap. That makes sense considering the applied screen size of 8.9-inches. Both the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 have become unavailable in the Play Store since the new tablet was launched in the market. Google's Nexus 9 replaces two products of the American corporation right away. Not sure if the volt/amp/something just isn't enough from other cables or what, but Google recommended it and it seemed to work.For the original German review, see here. My dad had this issue with the N4 and other chargers didn't seem to work. I'm not sure why lots of sites claim this means your phone is dead, lots of them just say "what else would a blinking red light mean", but definitely leave your phone plugged in for a while and attempt to turn it on again before you attempt to get your phone repaired.Īlso if a normal microUSB doesn't seem to be working, try the original charger + wall wart that came with your Nexus 4. After it regained 30% of it's battery I took it to work and it seems to be draining, charging and working normally. It was in fact so drained that it died while on the charger (at 0%), so I left it to charge for longer. Upon turning on the device it had 0% battery. When I got this I left the phone in the charger for a while, and eventually the white "charging battery" icon appeared again. Your phone will flash the red LED light briefly when the battery is completely drained. This does not necessarily mean your phone is dead.
