    Turbo Cell Standby uses about 30% of battery, why is that?

    Settings/More/Mobile Networks/Preferred network type - change it to LTE/CDMA I'm not an expert, I've just seen this mentioned in several battery saving threads.

    Just snagged the Dell Venue 8 7840...wow

    Ditto to all. The only feature I liked better on the Nexus 9 was the double tap to wake.

    Just snagged the Dell Venue 8 7840...wow

    I had the Nexus 9 from December 25th until a week ago when it died on me. I ordered another one, but in the midst of Amazon mishaps someone on this thread mentioned the Dell Venue 8 7840 as an alternative. I believe two people mentioned they have both and would pick the Dell over the Nexus...

    My Nexus 9 Died

    New strategy. Going to pick up the Dell Venue 8 today at Best Buy and test the N9 vs the Dell. Two tablets enter, one tablet leaves.

    Thanks for the advice. Headed to Best Buy at 11:00AM PST to pick up the Dell. The fact that you're going to Peet's over Starbucks was the clincher.

    Angry, I have my 2nd Nexus 9 on the way but your comments piqued my interest in the Dell. If u could only keep one between the Dell and the N9, you would keep the Dell? Posted via the Android Central App

    My Nexus 9 Died

    So HTC ran the serial number and it was activated on November 4th - crazy! Amazon sold me an old, used unit. Can't blame you Jerry, I swore this thing off a couple days ago. I want to see if Motorola comes out with a tablet - love what they're doing with the Moto X, 360 and Droid line. Until...

    My Nexus 9 Died

    I did look at the Dell - it seemed the big selling point on that was the camera, which I could care less about. I never nor care to take pictures with my tablet. Also, the thought of purchasing a new tablet in 2015 and having it ship with KitKat is a no go. It's also not stock Android, which...

    My Nexus 9 Died

    Wow, I did not expect this to happen, but I experienced a severe case of withdrawal yesterday. Went back to the drawing board, looked at all available tablets and just re-purchased the Nexus 9 :D

    My Nexus 9 Died

    I thought of exchanging it, but I realized I prefer my Nexus 7. I also experienced the light bleed, which is pretty bad, but I stopped noticing it after a while - kind of like the missing chunk at the bottom of the Moto 360. My wifi also seemed jacked - anytime I did a speed comparison it was...

    My Nexus 9 Died

    I had just clicked on a picture of the Asus Zen watch and my Nexus 9 screen turned into the attached picture. The numbers were actually scrolling. It took me forever to hard reset, but it kept happening. Just boxed it up and off to Amazon it goes. Guess I will still with my Nexus 7 -...

    Mailbox by Dropbox incompatible?

    Just got the 9 for Christmas. Went to download my favorite email app, Mailbox, and the Play store says it's incompatible with this version? Posted via the Android Central App
