Hi, 21 Mar 2018It has good things and bad things with it. 1. Very unstabl... moreI forgot to mention this:

Most of problem of lags in this device is Google play services.

If you don't need sync disable Google play services and store then you can see device become far better however most of us can't because at least we need chrome sync :/

Also if device didn't restart with default os chrome version, I didn't update Google play services

Also default Google play services in marshmallow is far better than updates but my n9 was restart with default chrome and I forced to update to find a better version of chrome.

    It has good things and bad things with it.
    1. Very unstable.
    even some versions of chrome when running several tabs cause device to restart.
    Or sometimes device become very lagy without any reason.

    2. Good support of heavy games because of powerful GPU.

    3. Low RAM, very annoying.
    Results, NO multi tasking!!!

    4. Low storage space.

    5. Rather good screen in compare with other IPSs however sometimes screen flashs/shutters frequently when you set a low brightness in settings.

    6. rather good speakers however not very good for music because of low bass but have good quality overall.

    7. Break problem in updates.
    My device breaked in a ota update and i sideloaded with a guide in xda and bringed back it after 3 mounths of break.
    (Thanks that guy for that guide)

    8. very very unstable in android 7, i flashed android 6 again because 7 was terrible, the lags was far more than 6.

    9. Terrible battery life in android lollipop but it became better in marshmallow however because of power hungry cpu it is not good as other tablets with lower battery.

    10. CPU or something else isn't good with full device encryption, so in default stock rom, the lags and ... is very much and also you can't use full storage space of it because device will frequently restart and some of your files will wipe automatically after it. However i used disabled encryption boot img when flashing android 6 and it is better than before. (Thanks that guy for creating that img)

    11. Very heat however i getted used to it.

    12. Not bad camera (at least better than my low end/middle range phone)

      It is very unstable when you insert storage drives with otg.
      I suggest never anyone connect a device to it with otg :|

            Anonymous, 13 Oct 2017The Nexus 9 HTC was a great purchase, no third party apps, ... moreIf you don't want terrible battery life don't use Android. Go to XDA-Developers and search Installing Ubuntu Linux on your Nexus 9. I posted a guide to install Ubuntu 16.04 and provided a boot.img and instructions to flash the rootfs on the device. I have found that battery life is much better but you lose the ability to play games, and other things but, hardware acceleration and GPU drivers are all functional with the L4T 21.6 drivers for the TK1 SoC. My next mod will be removing and installing the 4GB memory chip upgrade there is a thread on XDA for that too

              The Nexus 9 HTC was a great purchase, no third party apps, for about 6 months. Then the battery started to constantly over heat, slow to charge. And best of all HTC customer support which told me to try another factory reset, amd if that didn't work I should purchase another. $500 mistake thanks HTC

                        But you can plug an Android / USB Dual flash drive to move things around (I recommend Sandisk)
