If you're already unlocked flashing the update won't erase any of your data. :) Posted via the Android Central App

You mean without locking the bootloader? Honestly, I'm not sure what exact state the device would need to be in to accept the OTA, and frankly, using the method that I posted above or just flashing the new image through fastboot are so easy I wouldn't bother with it. Posted via the Android...

Yeah, there were some changes with Lollipop. It used to be that you could just disable any system tweaks you had going and if you had a stock recovery you could accept the OTA. I don't really know the technical end of it but for some reason you now have to be 100% stock to accept an OTA. After...

Yes, it does. You have to be 100% stock to accept an OTA. This video is super helpful. It was made for 21Q but he's got the 21R files up there too. How to manually update to the newest Firmware LRX…: http://youtu.be/bsU1r6wKMiA Posted via the Android Central App

The first one I received had this issue and it is absolutely a factory defect. The volume rocker on my current N9 is easily accessible. I recommend returning it. Posted via the Android Central App

Hi guys, This is a very minor issue and I probably just don't have something set right but on my N9 the Facebook video auto play doesn't work on any browser that I've tried. It shows the screen but there is a loading circle that just perpetually rotates. Also, if I touch the video it will not...

Touchwiz is Samsung's proprietary software overlay. It adds a lot of bloat and just generally slows down performance. It also alters the pure Android experience. That's why a lot of people that are "in the know" don't really care for it. I have seen a preview of the new Lollipop version of...

Hi Jerry, thanks for chiming in! I've had two N9's so far. The one that I am currently holding does have a soft spot on the back when I press with just a little give. I can tell that there is indeed some hollow space between the battery and the back of the unit but I actually have to press to...

So, I pre-ordered an N9 from the Play Store a couple of weeks ago but then when I found out my local Best Buy had them in stock I cancelled my Play Store order and went to grab one a day early. Long story short, my Play Store order didn't get sufficiently cancelled and I am now sitting here...

Re: Best Buy $100 trade in credit Nice find, thanks for posting!!! I bought mine yesterday and I'm wondering if there's anyway I can take advantage of this without having to return my current tablet. Anyone know?

Re: Best Buy In-Store? Black one? They all have a metal trim but the black version is all black. It's my understanding that the white version has the actual metal exposed. Posted via the Android Central App

The Facebook app absolutely sucks on Android tablets. Other than that I've yet to find any that don't scale reasonably well. Posted via the Android Central App

I don't have as much perspective as a lot of people. This is only the third tablet that I've owned and the last one (Note 10.1) is over two years old. I have never owned an Apple device and have absolutely no interest in ever owning one. That being said, I absolutely friggin LOVE this thing...

Re: First impressions, likes and dislikes For the most part I love it! I'm coming from a 2012 Galaxy Note 10.1 so this is a major upgrade for me. The screen is beautiful, the size is pretty much perfect and the speakers are amazing! Lollipop is great and it runs super smooth! My only two...
