I miss this tablet... a lot. Extremely nice form factor, they don't make 4:3 tablets like this anymore. Wish I had bought one.

Had it 3GB of RAM, it would still be today a nice device despite its age.

Got one quite cheap second-hand , and while it overheats rather easily, takes A LONG time to charge the battery, and often has stutters even under light load, it's surprisingly good in graphic benchmarks -those that can start at least- considering it's so old, beating even mid-range devices.
Just when debloating it with ADB be careful not to remove the Google app, as it's essential for the launcher and otherwise the tablet will get stuck when booting the main screen.

After about 5 years of use the tablet started dying. Occasionally it freezes completely and since it's not possible to remove the battery, we have to wait for it to completely run out of charge.
Also, every couple of months the system dies and won't boot. The only solution is to do a hard reset and reinstall everything. I'm getting tired of it to be honest. Today there seem to be a boot loop issue, so I'm not sure if we will be able to revive the device once more.

I am so disappointed.
I bought this device in Argos in Dublin and have enjoyed using it on a daily basis.
Now I find that the battery will soon need to be replaced and I cannot find a replacement anywhere.
Can anyone help please?

i actually enjoyed his device with android 7.1.1 installed .. got it for 50 euro used and good condition, and i use it without a case cause its cheap now..
this makes it a small and light weight tablet to hold in your hands, and liked it better than an ipad 2018 with a case to hold ..
the nexus 9 weight feels more on the phablet side and thats cool i think .. also without the clumsy case it looks quite elegant this thingy .
performance is quite ok , and yes sometimes it crashes .. but its more due to the apps than the tablet i think .. the music app i used worked like a charm :)

Hi, 22 Mar 2018I forgot to mention this:
Most of problem of lags in thi... moreI found some solutions to performance become better:
1. disable Google play services, chrome, play store and most Google stuff except keyboard (that is really good I couldn't find better keyboard so I deal with its performance) (you can disable personalised suggestions on it so performance won't degrade after some time)
2. don't make screen brightness lower than 50-60 percent because screen will flash in future.
3. disable device disk encryption (you should flash android 6 stock img with "nexus root toolkit" and also choose the kernel img in it that don't have device disk encryption enabled)
4. because you disabled Google stuff you should use Firefox, ever note, and ... instead of Google crap.
(Firefox become usable thanks to Mozilla improvements on post quantom versions.)
(use fennec f-droid because it has lower bloat than original Firefox and also use its armv7 version, not armv8 version because the former have better performance)
5. use noozixoide labs apps for better audio quality (I use their "rewire E" app with "warm" chooses in its settings.)
6. use greenify and put all your apps that won't need to always run in it and also create "hibernate and lock" shortcut in your home screen so you easily force close bad apps that make performance bad.
7. use nova launcher as you disabled Google stuff.
8. disable YouTube and use its web version because it also is bad for device overall performance and also you can't login with it because you disabled play services.
9. disable lock screen completely as it sometimes have lags and won't let you use the device.
I hope this helps most of you :)
in the end please hope good wishes for me as I spend very much hours of my best times to find these solutions :)

I still own this tablet and even though it runs on Nougat, it still runs really well. I used it mainly for college for 2 years to help with studies but now I just use it for YT and searching things that I may want. Also, I use it to pay off stuff at work using NFC which I think is cool to have in a tablet, it seems daft when you go somewhere to pay for something but there isn't anything wrong with that. The 6,700 mah battery is good as it gets me 1.5 days use but if it had something bigger, it would be better. Who ever has this tablet still. Please keep it. I had Nexus 7 (2013) and there is not much difference in performance. Also I had Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 LTE 8.0 and that had a 4000 mah battery but that was GARBAGE

Hi. The 7.9"- 8.9" tablet sizes have a soft spot in my heart. Shame Android tablets are almost extinct now. But I would like to ask:
1. Have all the supposed bugs and issues (boot loop. Bluetooth, etc.) been fixed via software updates?
2. Are the speakers as good if not better than an iPad Mini 4?
3. And what is the latest Android software version for the Nexus 9?
4. Stupid question: Do you think it is still a good idea to own the Nexus 9 this 2018?

To any owners of Nexus 9 may i ask:
1. What is the latest/current Android version of the tablet?
2. Would you say the speakers are adequately loud and clear and not sounding muffled (as most reviews say)?
3. I have heard of issues such as poor battery life (standby time, video playback, etc.), issues with bluetooth, wifi and bootloop? Have all these issues been quashed?
4. Is this still worthy Android tablet? or an iPad mini 4 a better choice now with performance, battery life, speakers & all?
