    No Command Boot Loop

    This happened to me with both the April and the July updates. Both times I was able to bring the device back to life by reloading the OS via ADB, even with the bootloader locked. There are a few guides to this process online, all of which either make assumptions about how to do them (or maybe...

    Have any of you Nexus 7 users switched over to the Nexus 9?

    I've had the Nexus 7 (2012), the Nexus 7 (2013) and an iPad (Gen 3) prior to getting the Nexus 9 a week or so ago. The 9 is a nice tablet, and while I hear some comments about build quality, it's a nice tablet. No light bleed and no flex on the back of the case. But, also, all my tablets end...

    Speed penalty for encryption?

    Thanks, I'll just wipe it -- not too hard to start over. Thanks for the observations... Obviously Lenovo hasn't set the tablet world on fire.

    Speed penalty for encryption?

    Enabled both device and SD card encryption and the Thinkpad seems to have been really slowed down by this. Transitions to home screen can take over 30 seconds now. I use Truecrypt on laptops, and have not found that encryption perceptibly slows those machines. So I am wondering if anyone else...
