Nexus 9 : Bugs, problems, gremlins, fixes and more...

Your post might have been worthwhile had you not decided to use a silly name like Lolliflop, makes you seem immature and I for want don't take immature seriously.

I am sure given a little time the early problems in this new OS will be corrected probably long before my Samsung Tab pro gets it.

Interesting so you seem to think that the post might have been worthwhile all but for the use of the word Lolliflop. The value of my post is not solely for you to decide but is in fact up to the reader to decide. You seem to feel that you speak for everybody in that regard by stating, "Your post might have been worthwhile" rather than "Your post might have been worthwhile for me." Seems like you place a lot of value into your own opinion but I have not seen anything but opinion in your 146 posts, where are the facts and information in those posts? Do you really think that your reply to my post adds any value? or shows maturity yourself?

To disregard the information in the post because of a word play that conveys what the newest OS version is (opinion) in comparison to previous versions is a clearer indication of immaturity than what you have accused me of.

Maturity brings an understanding that we all communicate in different manners and allows us to filter out irrelevant information to pick up on key points. The only thing that you have done in your reply is to try and take away an from an informative message that I decided to share with users. You have blind hope (that is not backed up by any historical fact) that problems will be probably be corrected by the time Lollipop is ready for your galaxy tab. And that is a very good indication of your lack of knowledge as a user and the reason why large companies can get away with doing what they do.

There are multiple problems dating back years that still affect the latest platforms and in my post I provided a link that describes an issue that dates back to early 2013 which effects all current versions of Android and that has had a huge impact on lollipop support. The problem is Samsung specific with Samsung being aware of the issue and turning a blind eye to it. The same kind of issues are likely to occur once again, but I doubt you have the capacity to understand why. where is there any evidence to back up your statement "I am sure given a little time the early problems in this new OS will be corrected probably long before my Samsung Tab pro gets it."

Another link, demonstrates how Samsung deal with issues related to defects.

If you don't understand what is being talked about in the link above. I'll summarise, Samsung don't care because consumers keep buying their products not knowing where the real problems stem from.

My post was immature, really? interesting I would have described it more as informative.........LOLLIFLOP there now this post is immature too right?

I thought Lolliflop was pretty clever.

Looks like Netflix doesn't support 1080p with Lollipop 5.0?

Only issue I have is after getting in and out of apps, after a bit I have to hit the recent apps button and X out of apps to open more. I might load up battery doctor or something to do it automatically to see how that goes. Otherwise, awesome tablet, very few app incompatibilities, and most were updated within days.

I received the system update for the Nexus 9 just a few minutes ago. The update started as expected --- but then failed (Android laying on its side with a red "error" message above it). I'm still stuck on the 5.0 (LRX21L) version rather than the 5.0 (LRX21Q). The system update notification is now gone and I can't give it another try. Has anyone else experienced this?

Usually when someone starts a post with look at me I am a big shot developer and know it all ...... they don't.
I appreciate what you are saying in your message and even agree with the gist of it, just a word that is not a great way to introduce yourself to the forum.

Have you tried doing a manual update through settings? right at the end of the list - could be under status / update - i would have to check for sure

I'm very happy with mine, not many if any problems until yesterday. A 37mb update was pushed to the tablet yesterday and so far I've tried installing it 3 times and get an error message every time. It downloads, restarts to install and then seconds later I see an android with a red triangle and ! And it just says "Error!"

I didn't see your post before I replied, I'm having the same problem, glad I'm not alone. Called google last night and the guy had no idea what to do

 

[DubbinNubbin]

I'm having that problem too. I've tried it 4 times with the same results. I'm assuming it's not a problem for all Nexus 9s, or there'd be more threads about it in the forums.

 

[alengman]

Same problem with the update. I'm at build number LRX21L. Tried to manual update and it says that I'm up to date. I didn't check the build number but does anyone know what it is out of the box? Wondering if it actually update or not.

 

[anon(11078)]

The build number is LRX21L. The new update's build number is LRX21Q. I've tried pretty much everything to get this thing to update including a factory reset. It won't update ever after a full factory reset. The other problem is that when I tried to do a factory reset within the settings---it just locked on the erase everything screen. I talked to Google again and it looks like it will be swapped for one that (hopefully) does not have this problem.

 

[hoosiermama2799]

Same here.

 

[anon(105307)]

I tried to update again today and same error. I really don't want to factory reset. My wife's 16g hasn't been prompted for this update yet, mines a 32g

 

[anon(11078)]

It seems that a number of people have been hit with the system update bug. It seems consistent, it's definitely repeatable...which should be good for getting it straightened out.

 

[hoosiermama2799]

I got a second notification for the update. I'm not doing it... I think I'll wait!

Look at me, know it all? exactly how did you get that from the post that I made? Introducing myself as a developer was a means of differentiating myself from just being a user, which I also am. I think most people have the intelligence to realise that. Obviously just stating one of my professional roles makes you feel inadequate. I didn't make it out as if being a developer is the greatest thing in the world now did I? There was not a boast, self promotion or any kind of arrogance in the post, you just seem to have nothing better to say which is clear as the only point you highlighted was the point with the most insignificance.

 

[anon(11078)]

Mine's a 32gb Nexus as well. You'll get the same error over and over. A factory reset won't fix it. Same error after the factory reset. (Nor did any of their less extreme alternatives such as clearing the cache, etc.) I wish there was a solution short of sending it back for a replacement, but so far Google has not giving any indication of knowing what that solution is.

I talked to Google again and it looks like it will be swapped for one that (hopefully) does not have this problem.

If you still have the device that you are experiencing problems with or if you if anybody else is experiencing the same problem then you can download the LRX21Q factory image from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images (I can't post links) and follow the instructions to perform the update manually. This process also works for other Nexus devices as well that have not yet received ota updates as of yet.

 

[anon(11078)]

@AppsolutelyMAD, thanks, I've been debating about doing this, especially since I've only loaded a factory image on one device in my life time. The other option is waiting for Google to straighten this out---or get a replacement device from Google. Right now it looks like it's a problem with the update (or the previous update) and not the hardware, at least that is what I've been hearing from other sites.
