Help me pick the RIGHT ONE...... X+! - HTC One X+

So... Due to a low budget.. I've decided i'll settle up to buy a 2nd hand One X+
Which is why i'm asking u the people who have it.
Is it still worth a shot? In my range i can get an SIII (but my brother has one and I LOVE SENSE )... or the 1 gig ram is a bit out of its league?
If YES to the above question.... Then i would have to HAND PICK the One X+ from the market 2nd hand... So... Here are my "tests" to check the faults of it (so i can get a PERFECT WORKING phone) .. You see here in Pakistan. People play around with their devices and then sell them off when they're broken... About 80% of the case :/
So here are my tests PLEASE TELL ME IF U WANT ME TO TEST SOMETHING ELSE THAT I HAVE LEFT.
1. Androsensor (app) - for the sensors and their function.
2. Record a video and tap both mics to see if the other is working (saw alot of them having bugs here)
3. Display tester (app) - put it on FULL BRIGHTNESS and check the buggy display.
4. Manually check the scratches etc.
5. Check whether its disassembled or not (how do i do it? :/ )
6. Any other of u suggest
Thank you for ur time.

First, check if the phone lags, i.e., the lock screen should pop up with less than under 1.5s or 2s. If that happens, it means that the CPU is able to cope with the previous owner's usage and is still in a good shape. Multi-task apps. If the phone stutters during multi-tasking, put it down and test out another X+. DO NOT BUY THE S3! The S3 uses a processor which will lag over time. I've tried and I know it. Good Luck!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks alot can you please answer a few more would really appreciate it
1. I've heard there's this Wi-Fi problem with the One X+ devices (or was it the One X?). That the antenna on the back casing wasnt stable and rigid... However the newer versions had the problem fixed.. Is there any way to check the build version? of the HARDWARE.?
2. The "Screen Flickering"? It was fixed in the newer versions... Or is it that the display becomes old?

You are wrong sir
The s3 has a better gpu and software under the hood
Also the s3 will get better support and faster (and more updates)
+ it has a better camera

go to dialler and dial *#*#3424#*#* and run all the tests. Please press thanks button if i helped you :laugh::good:

Which device to get threads are not allowed because they would become subjective and it wouldn't help anyone (as it has already started to become). As far as testing goes, the responses given should suffice. Any other issues with the phone can be found in General. Thread closed.

[Q] User Interface and Screeen

Hey guys.I'm considering getting a Optimus One, but I do have some questions.
1) How responsive is the user interface (Is it smooth or does it lag)
2) How responsive is the touch screen? How does it compare to an iPhone's?
3) The touch screen is capativive right?
I have a choice between the Optimus One and the HTC Wildfire, but I don't have a clue which one to get. Any adviice would be great.
Mate... if you're wondering between those two... Just go for optimus one! I have some test units for development and I just prefer my own. Those wildfire are worse (in every way)! Lauzy resolution, not smooth, sometimes buttons just aren't rendered correctly and (for me it isn't good) the screen is too sensitive.
1) Smooth (and even smoother if you install laucher pro)
2) Very responsive
3) Capacitive, yes
And again, for your own good, do not buy a wildfire...
1) How responsive is the user interface (Is it smooth or does it lag)

I didn't noticed any problem. Always is really fast and I haven't any problem even with more application running. Only some time when I my Smart keyboard appear, I noticed small time between 1st touch and responce (about 200ms). On second and next is everything ok (maybe problem is in load of dictionary from SDcard)
2) How responsive is the touch screen? How does it compare to an iPhone's?

I had't touch screen before, but I think that it works really nice. Some time I noticed casual (I don't know it this is right word) touchs, but I thing that it's caused by me, becouse I'm not "experienced" with touchs By time is going, it works more better with me
3) The touch screen is capativive right?

I have same choice, but when I red about battery time, I chose Optimus One. HTC many times have problem keeps 1 day. With my Optimus I attacking 2 days. Also there was some notes about better readability of display on sun (but I can't confirm this).
Thanx alot people. I think I've made up my mind, I will get the optimus one.
Just one more quest, as far as I know the Optimus One does not support 3d gaming and I have made piece with that, but then I found this video on youtube, where a guy is playing Need For Speed Shift on his Optimus One.Just search for "optimus one nfs shift" on youtube (Sorry I cant post links yet). Can someone mabey confirm that it is possible as it just seems just too good to be true.Once again, thanx for the replies.
I am not sure that's correct.... I thought the OPTIMUS 1 had a dedicated GPU Adreno 200? Which supports OPEN GL.... I am pretty sure the Wildfire does not have one.

Well, Here is the deal on our phone , link @ goo.gl/2PCYC :
""Quadrant benchmark application measures the overall performance of your phone. Given that the CPU component hardly received any improvement over MSM7200 series, it is natural to conclude that other areas received significant improvements. One area in particular, is the GPU. MSM7227 features a dedicated GPU called, Adreno 200. This is the SAME GPU that is found in the first generation Snapdragon processors!
.......
And then there's the screen resolution. Typical Snapdragon phones use 800x480 screen resolution, while most of the MSM7227 phones use 320x480. That's less than half the amount of pixels MSM7227 has to process through. The result? Surprisingly snappy performance out of "lowly" 528MHz/600MHz processor!""
& i even tried ExZeus (link: goo.gl/pkA6D ) which run well too.

xperia u or sola?

Merry Christmas lads, sorry for opening another one thread/spamming... I found xperia sola and xperia U at exactly the same price....which one shall i go for? Please answer me i need your suggestions! Thanks.
What do you like more? A colourful Illumination Bar or a Magical Display? Just Kidding
A perfect/good smartphone is good because of it's small great things, not because it has a Tegra 3 Processor or 2GB of RAM. Thats my Opinion
I think you should go into a electronic store and hold both devices in your Hand. The sola has a bigger Display and you can use it with gloves, yay So I would buy a Sola, but listen to your heart

I held a sola yesterday but when i surfed the internet it was a bit laggy...may because it wasn't updated to ics ? I don't know why....colours were REALLY beautiful too!
So, when you were kidding above did you really meant sth? Xperia U's screen can be compared with Sola's one? (forget the inches, talk about colours)
The internet thing: maybe the Ram was full?
Both displays have 16 millions colors and both have the Bravia Engine, so I don't think that there is a difference

I can't remember for the ram...
From the videos i have seen till now, Sola and U are exactly the same but U has only 4GB user accessible :-/ i think i can cover this problem witha usb adapter....you think that usb adapter will be annoying? Or will it be easy to get used to it?
Only reason why you should buy U instead of Sola is front camera. If you can live without it then Sola is better phone most definitely.
Also keep one thing in mind that both of these phones will NOT get official JellyBean from Sony. So if you are a fan of Stock manufacturer's firmware, you might want to reconsider buying either of these two phones.
Though, hopefully they WILL get unofficial JB Rom such as Cyanogen etc but it may take a long while to get everything working in these roms, there is also a chance that some features such as video recording may never work in an unofficial JB rom. So think before you buy
Nothing better than the stock rom
Go for a device that will get jelly bean
One more and last question guys...if I buy xperia sola and a freeze suddenly appears and as a result i must remove the battery to "unfreeze" it, what can I do then? I saw the battery is unremovable and it wories me a little.....any help? If there is a solution for this "problem" i will definately buy Sola,otherwise i am afraid i have to reconsider buying a new phone...
I think that there is a way to force reboot on such type of phones, something like power button and vol down...

On this phone you dont remove battery, you do vol + power untill the phone vibrates 3 times.
If i were you i would find samsung or HTC for the same money.

Yes bro
Everyone have their own preferences
I tried every rom present here
Bt I always get back to stock one
of course.... Xperia Sola is better than Xperia U... because Xperia Sola has external sd card whereas the Xperia U does not have... My friend's Xperia U running on stock ICS has the wifi bug... where he tries to turn off the wifi but the wifi still kept turning on... so.. consider Xperia Sola maybe? XD
Don't go for any of them s3 duos xperia go

after getting my Xperia Neo stolen I decided to go with Sola - as the 3.7" inch screen is perfect size for my hands. It is the minimum for me to be able to write text in portrait orientation (XU has 3.5" screen).
On the other hand I *hate* Sola's floating touch (or glove mode)! Main reason is that you cannot switch it off in games - what good is dual core processor if you are not able to control the game properly due to this floating touch nonsense? To name few: Triple Town, Temple Run, Muffin Knight, GTA3 and others are unplayable (even though the performace is ok). You can get rid of floating touch with different ROM (at the moment there are only two of them), but if you plan to game much, better go with XU...
Another thing to consider is that Sola goes crazy when on charger - it won't react correctly on touch - it think it is floating touch technology again to blame here... (don't know if the same problem occurs on XU)
You can google both of these problem - I would love to know about them before I have bought my Sola :/

LG Optimus L7 II (Optimus L7 2) P710

Does anyone else wait for the new Optimus L7 II (P710)?
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/lg-optimus-l7-2-1133186/review
Dual-core Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon 1GHz, Adreno 203, 4.3 inches display, 8 MP camera, 2460 mAh battery.
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_l7_ii-5275.php
Especially the battery impresses me. Samsung Galaxy S2 got an improved optional power battery 2000mAh
Hopefully the P710 will get Cyanogenmod, because it seems to have standard Qualcomm hardware. And hopefully the price will be similar to the very cheap P700...
http://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3185856_-optimus-l7-lg-electronics.html
$205 sim-lock-free, off-contract.
AW: LG Optimus L7 II (Optimus L7 2) P710
Yes, I'm waiting for it. It should replace my old LG Optimus One p500.
The size (4.3") is not to big, the battery sounds good, it has NFC and Sd-Card and Jelly Bean. Does anyone knows the release date in Germany?

I don't own the phone yet, but you see the backlight at 1:32 in this unboxing video:
The video is from the same person, who told me in the amazon-comments, that it's possible.
You could ask him in the Youtube-comments. He wrote, that he is open to questions and ideas.

I know it's still fresh phone, but are there any news about rooting, unlocking and android development for P710? I couldn't find no information about it yet. Hopefully it will not prove to be dead end. Solid hardware and large battery should provide nice starting point for a great phone.

The rooted kdz-file is for the p713 and I don't know, what is the difference to the p710 (languages, basebands?).
I got this phone last week, but there are some issues, and I'm not alone with them.
Overheating: the display-brightness goes automatically to 61% after some minutes of usage outside in the sun
it often losts the mobile reception, when the usb is plugged in for charging
it losts my legally paid Play Store apps after a reboot (wrong mounting?). this is only for a few users, for me too
So there is some effort, excellent. Thanks for finding this.
As for the problems stated it seems like some software issue to me, even if it is hardware related it is too big of a problem not to be rectified by manufacturer.

I got my phone 4 days ago, same day came out update to 10D (europe region hungary) so I was on original 10A just few minutes , none of the issues exists. I have only small problem,
back cover is not good as it was on L7 P700, or on the P715 (the dual sim version) the back is slick so it will probobly collect some scratches soon, but the everything else is much better, screen is more responsive than on 4X, camera is excelent, gps lock is faster, battery backup is better than P700 on ICS , quick translator is nice addon.

Great post, it should be sticky.....
I have bought this phone yesterday, and all i can say it is amazing! Speed, display quality, angle of view, camera...
Pictures are great at full dark, flash is very powerfull, colors are so freaking natural.
UI Speed amazing! I couldnt belive it. Jelly Bean and the Butter Project are realy doing their purpose. I have put on Nova Launcher, and it is so smooth. Other, settings scrolling, Phonebook scroling, etc, etc, is also very smooth.
This phone also has Face unlock, smart screen lock ( Like Galaxy S III, it locks itself when you are not watching it), NFC, Android Beam and so on...The only thing it doesnt have is HDMI. But, i dont realy need that, because i have VGA connection monitor But it would be great to watch pictures on HDMI at 1920 x 1080 LED Screen
I was deciding between L7 II and Alcatel OneTouch Idol (I dont know which Idol, there are milion versions, LOL, but it is dual core with 1GB of RAM). And when i was testing them, Alcatels camera is worse than LG's, even though Alcatel supposingly has HDR :/
Further more, Alcatel has 4.7 inch display that is about 11.9 cm compared to LG's 4.3 inch (10.9 cm), and it has bigger resolution (because of the bigger screen DUH), but in fact, Alcatel's display looks a little like your old T-Shirt that was being washed 75 times Colors are not so natural like on LG, even though both have IPS LCD screen. But, dont get me wrong, that Alcatel is an amazing phone for the price of 2500RSD (about 23 euros) a month in VIP Mobile network. The main thing that pushed me away from Alcatel is 1800mAh battery that supplies 4.7 inch screen :/
That's a little low, you will agree with me...But further more, it cant be removed from the phone! i.e. user cant replace the battery if it dies...And maybe that could not be a problem, if Alcatel had a good SUPPORT! But, they dont have it, i had an alcatel OT before...So, if my battery dies, i cant replace it, i have no mobile phone store that can replace the battery instead of me. In either way, it is impossible to change it. It is not like on Iphone, there you have Apple store and, services on any corner and you can do what ever the F*** you want...
So the sum is, people that are thinking to buy this phone, dont think furthermore, go to the store and buy it!

Xiaomi Mi3 16GB Snapdragon (WCDMA)

Hello,
I dont know if my topic fits here in the category (General)
But i have a fuw questions about my new smartphone (Xiaomi Mi3 WCDMA version)
Because i have always used a Google phone (android) MIU5 is a hole diffrent OS.
So my question is there a possible way to install Google Play, and that is very stable on it?
Because i know xda-board is a very advanced board if it is something about phones, so if somebody can help me out here.???

My Xiaomi Mi-3 Review.
New phone:
Since Xiaomi had released the Mi-3, there was an outbreak.
With the specifications and the low price Xiaomi had set an smartphone that is not only in China so populair but abroad the country to.
And you can see it with sales they made everytime the new stock was out.
In serval minutes there was a bunch of them sold out. The biggest one was more than 100.000 units in less than 90 seconds. You can see how populair the phone was. Because the new version with the latest highly clocked Snapdragon800 in it. Xiaomi set up an new variaty of people to there market.
Xiaomi is still out of stock in the most versions, and will be for a fuw moths.
Design:
The design of the Xiaomi Mi-3 is one of the most beuutifull phones ever made. The roundings the buttons the ultra-thin magnesium alluminum alloy gives the phone a very nice look. The roughness of the phone with his big 5 inch screens feels so nice in your hands. You dont have trouble with using one hand (only if you have big hands)
Hardware:
Xiaomi haves two versions of the Mi-3. The tegra4 TD-SCDMA only can be used in China, and the Snapdragon WCDMA an European/American/others parts of the world. Both CPU’s are diffrent clocked. the Tegra4 is clocked to max with 1.8Ghz, and the Snapdragon800 is clocked 2.3Ghz. The driffrence in the speed of the phone is actualy the same. Both versions are smooth tasking. There is no lag or something bothering you. With his 2GB on both version you are for now a happy guy. You can play the latest games on your phone as you want. With the new amazing LG Full-HD resolution IPS screen it makes the so beuatifull. The colors of the phone pop out. The angles on the screen are nice, somebody next to you will not having trouble to not see the screen.
Software:
Mi-3 is running on two diffrent android version. The tegra4 runs at an 4.2.3 android. And Snapdragon800 runs on an 4.3 newer version of the android. When you recieve your phone you can choose if you want to use it in chinese or English. If you choose english you still will see some chinese signs at the screen. This is one thing that the developers dont have chainged. But i cant hurt. You will not recieve Google App store on it, you must download it by your self. Xiaomi is very smart if you wanna use Google services, you must have an Xiaomi account, and trough the account you can download google installer. And from there you can use any google app you want.
Yes, it is possible!

But i have a fuw questions about my new smartphone (Xiaomi Mi3 WCDMA version)
Because i have always used a Google phone (android) MIU5 is a hole diffrent OS.
So my question is there a possible way to install Google Play, and that is very stable on it?
Because i know xda-board is a very advanced board if it is something about phones, so if somebody can help me out here.???

I don't know if this is the right category for you question, but I'm not a moderator so I don't need to know that actually.
What I know on the other hand is that you can easily install Google Apps (GApps) on your Xiaomi Mi3. You won't need any experience with flashing gapps from internal storage or SD-card, it is easy as pie!
Once you have your phone open the MIUI Store and search for "Google". The developer Eric Xiang has put together an excellent Google Installer app. The name is in Chinese, but just search for it in English and you will find it. The installer will take care of everything else.
If that doesn't work, you should try rooting your device and flashing Gapps manually.
thank you in advance.
The GAPP store is in english right? Not chinese.
Hope i will can fix it. Uhm are there customroms made for the XIAOMI or not? So i can try that to if it doesent work for me...
How do you like the phone so far?

and yet another one by a friend of mine:
I have the phone for about 3/4 days right now.
And the MIUIV5 launcher, if you using it for the first time. Its a little bit strange.
But after using it for a while, you learn fast and see how powerfull the launcher is.
The 1ste you always do is install gapps on your phone.
I Had to make some questions an supported boards, to get it work. But now i am pleased with the usage of the phone and the powerfull hardware whats in it.
Love the phone for now, will definitly stay at the MIUI community.
One thing: i hope they can fix an Android Stock 4.4 Kitkat OS with multi-lang....
I dont know why Cynogenmod doesent come for Xiaomi Mi-3, or other custom roms for it.
XDA-developers are the moest anticipated people for smartphones, i hope they will be release an Xiaomi mi-3 miuiV5 or later v6 CUSTOM ROM OR SOMETHING.
i tough there will be alot of them because it is Androind but nothing
A nice review. I have a great apetytna this smartphone. Are you able to compare its screen with LG G2 or HTC One? I wonder if it is comparable to, or better or worse.

The phone by it selfs is great, but there are some issues that i must solve before you can use the phone.
My issues are:
1. 3G not working well <- not solved
2. Ram is filling quikly <- not solved
3. Google account had some problems (was my fault because did not install google contacts.apk) <- solved
If these things are solved, than you have an bad-ass phone..

I'm using the latest MIUI version: 4.1.24 in Polish and I have no problems from the department in both the 3 and 2G. Everything in my MI 3 WCDMA works perfectly.
I have the CDMA version with miuiV5. It works great. No problems encountered. I just wish I knew how to make a custom ROM. I have a developer rom and the V5 rom. Tried both and they both work fantastic.
Maybe you know how to turn off the meter data. After exceeding the set limit further changes cause complications itelefon off my data transmission. I do not need to set this limit, I enclosed it with curiosity, and I have no problem.

Yes, me too.
It's very sad that there isn't a real development community for this great phones.
In my opinion the mi3 offers the best hardware on the whole market to a fantastic price. I can't understand why there are no developers for roms like AOKP or CM or AOSP.
When it will come to indonesia?

It is not. Perhaps it's successor - the rumoured MI3S - might have this feature.
Btw. I have a 64GB Mi3 and so far I am very happy with this phone; even without LTE-support.
I am very happy with my phone. It is a 64GB Grey Mi3. The 3G on AT&T is fine but slow.
The Data speeds are not that fast but it gets the job done. I get some time out errors from time to time.
I like to be able to get the Temp that displays on the lock screen and home screen(default) to display current location instead of in China. Can't seem to get the default Maps app to work in the US even with it locking in on GPS it displays China. Google Maps works fine but a little show and sometimes has defaulted back to a Chinese location first until a signal lock happens and then it will find my current location.
Starbucks app doesn't work on my phone.
When I click on an autocorrected word that has a red underline on it the app will crash and send me back to home. Bug has been reported.
When saving pictures from the internet it doesn't default to a standard folder. It uses the cloud folder and even with sync to cloud off I have to move it to the main local folder to get the pictures available to send or attach to email.
Speedtest.net doesn't connect to show download speeds. It will show a slow upload speed.
Visual VoiceMail doesn't seem to work on AT&T's network. If I give them my old HTC One IEMI number the visual voicemail works but the DATA does not. I can live with it for now.
Anyone got the Visual Voicemail to work with connecting Data on AT&T? If so what phone did they put in the system to make it work? the HTC One does not work. Confirmed this twice.
If they release an LTE version that would work with AT&T here that would be killer!!! I really do like the phone. The size, the weight, the shape. I would love to see this one in White or Silver 64GB.

There will be very soon, devices squad on snapdragon 800 SoC : xperia z1, zr (?), LG G2, Note 3 and more ... mean we can start poke their code to used as "base" to start write device tree on cm / aosp/ aokp. I have also very limited skill to write android code ... let us learn together. Mine on stock MIUIv5 and I satisfy with the phone performance. Miui serve what we need for basic computed including archiving/extracting files. It's handy i did not need to carry my laptop anymore when travelling

Poor SoT and little bit laggy

As in title. Running atm stock 5.1.1 with elementalx kernel ( tried going back to stock one ). At best get 5 h SoT but mostly 4 ( from what I can see people get on average 7-8 hours. Tried clean flashing it once again, tried lollipaloza ( meh ). In addition to that I think the performance of my N9 is pretty weak ( gets laggy on home screen, switching between apps, some games ). Any suggestion about fix ( maybe matter of ROM or kernel? )In worst case scenario will probably just send it back to HTC service.
Cheers
SOT is very dependant on what else is going on with your device. I seriously doubt there is anything wrong with your device and I wouldn't waste your time or HTC's returning it. Those who are getting longer time are doing the following:
Location off
Touch sounds off
Screen dimming on manual and low
To name a few
Google battery life xda. There are many threads on how to get better battery life on XDA. Kernels and roms are not magic bullets.

The battery isnt the biggest problem thou ( as long as it keeps 1 day on 1 charge its k for me, ofc would love it to be around 7-8 hours instead of 4.5h ) the biggest problem is my experience about performance of my N9, even thou it is supposed to be much more powerfull device than N5 it just does not feel at least as smooth as N5. It feels way more laggy than N5. Maybe this is how N9 rolls. Does yours N9 like have 2-3 sec delay after pressing home button to return to main screen? boot up 2 mins + ( everytime )? 2-3 sec delay after oppenning apps? You bassiclly feel like it is choking with simple tasks such as returning back to home screen. Cause on my N5 all of those things are instant thats why I am wondering whats a problem here.
1. Gonna try disabling location ( most of time it was on GPS only )
2. I've got touch sound off straight after took it out of box ( it annoyed me )
3. Well my screen is most of a day on like 15% of brightness and when I am in a bed it is min

I have to ask about custom ROMs at this point. I have a Nexus 6 running stock T-Mobile firmware and it runs amazing. Very responsive...I rarely if ever touch the screen and then feel like it locked up. The N9? Not so much. I've run stock 5.x.x and I'm running the 3rd M Preview right now, and I can't say I am seeing any improvement. M seems no better or worse, except with sleep battery drain on M, which is awesomely small.
I find that the WORST app on the device is Chrome, no matter what version (stable/beta/dev). It is just touch, then wait for SOMETHING to happen. Even the loading circles and often the bottom nav bar stuff goes unresponsive. Multitasking can take several seconds to switch or start an app. It's just a stuttery, freezing mess. I don't know at this point if it's that stock Android just sucks on the N9, or the nVidia 'denver' experiment is just a total fail. To answer a common rejoinder: I have wiped the device several times and see the same crappy stuttering/lagging/freezing on a newly reset tablet.
I'm wondering if people who were in my circumstances found salvation with a custom ROM and/or Kernel. If so, is there a 'favorite' out there for compatibliity, speed and stability? Do these ROMs for the N9 truly solve the atrocious unresponsiveness of the device? I honestly don't even give a crap about battery drain at this point. I'd rather have a tablet I have to recharge all the time than one I don't even want to pick up because I can tap the screen and then go do something on my Nexus 6 while waiting for the Nexus 9 to unfreeze itself and consider doing the thing I just asked.
Any advice would be useful. I'm okay with going back to a 5.x custom ROM at this point. I am looking forward to Marshmallow, but it hasn't really solved my complaints against this tablet.

Yes, everyone experiences this unless they only have the stock GApps installed and nothing else. Eventually the device will become laggy like that after a week or two of a fresh flash of the Nexus images.
It is in my humble opinion that it is not software, but a hardware issue. The device has a 64bit CPU and 64bit OS. That in it self is a good thing, but coupled with the fact it only has 2GB of RAM is where the issue lies. If the N9 had 3GB of RAM we would not be experiencing these issues.

Yea, you are probably right. Just wanting to add my 2 cents. I've followed some of the advice found here on XDA. A lot of people recommended switching to Dirty Unicorns. So did I. Must admit that it rotated my experience by 180°. My N9 finely feels smooth.

There are customs ROMs on many devices that can give you some visual *tweaks* to give the illusion of faster performance. When it comes down to the bottom line no ROM can add a GB of much needed RAM.
I'm not picking on the N9, I love the device and there isn't another tablet I would rather purchase. Google said they were not making a 2015 Nexus tablet which is fine by me, but it would have been nice to come out with a 2015 of the N9 with 3-4GB of RAM...
