Nexus 9 freezes after Oct 5 security patch

[WT816]

I need help. I have a Nexus 9 running andriod 7 with the Oct 5 security patch and my Nexus freezes after about 1-2 hours of using Netflix or YouTube apps. It is frozen solid and I have to press the power button in until it reboots. This has happened 3 times in the last 24 hours. It was fine before I got the recent patch. Any idead? Thanks.

Mine freezes the same way when browsing with chrome. Be scrolling a page and it just stops, makes me have to re-boot. Not pleased at all.

Mine started freezing after the Nougat upgrade. I haven't figured out any way around it.

I uninstalled Netflix and reinstalled it. So far it is behaving well.

Just started happening to me as well. At first, it was off and on but now it's happening on a regular basis. I was watching YouTube and it froze last night. Happens with Chrome all the time. Hopefully the next update will fix this issue.

Mine scared the crap out of me yesterday. It had started slowing down and lagging after performing flawlessly since MM. When I tried to wipe cache from recovery, it... just...hung...up. Restarted, and it went into interminable boot loops. Even recovery booth looped.
Battery finally died, and after a couple other boot loops, I finally got into recovery for a full reset.
Thankfully, it restarted.

Anyway, be ready for anything dealing with this newly introduced lag.

My N9 started freezing about a month ago. Starting to get annoying with all the re-booting.

Mine doesn't freeze when using my Nexus 9 but sometimes when I am powering off. I then hold down the power button until it restarts then I usually can successfully power off.

Mine is with the same problem and I am not sure what the hell is going on! I want to see what brings the Android 7.1.1 update to the table or just if November security patch fixes the issue!

The freezing issue is really getting irritating. I hope Google doesn't forget about this device.

Unfortunately I think it's over, but don't feel singled out if you own a Nexus 9 because It's over for the whole tablet segment anyway.

I don't agree with your comment about the tablet segment being over. I have a Nexus 6P that is definitely a BIG phone but there are many times I prefer using my tablet to using my phone.

To each their own, I based that statement on declining iPad sales quarter over quarter.

Ok I had a friend call me about his Nexus 9 freezing and requiring a HARD Re-Boot. So it isn't just me when he says it started occuring and it is so anoying he is considering getting a new Table. He even paid $225 getting a new mother board about five months ago from Google. I had another N9 Freeze event a few minutes when I read a news story and hit the Share option and then Copy to Clipboard. No controls would work on the Tablet and had to hold the Power Button till it did a Hard Reboot.

My N9 worked great since I got it until now and at one point I considered it almost as good as my PC to surf the Web. This Freeze has been occurring about once a week for a while now. Granted it only seems to happen when I read a lot of news sites on my N9 but it has got to the point is is a pain in the butt to use on the internet. Playing games like Clash of Clans and Boom Beach seem to never cause any issues.

I guess I can take comfort knowing it isn't just me.

Any suggestions on a possible tablet to replace my freezing Nexus 9?

Mine freezes daily. And sometimes multiple times per . I'm about ready to throw it out the window and it's only 2 years old. I'm just really disgusted with Nexus. I'll never buy another one of their devices.

I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S2 9.7" on eBay for $259. Supposed to be like new. I would be happier with a Nexus device I think but this one got good reviews as well.
