The issue is about screen getting glitched output. I don't think this is a software issue. There is some hardware issue because I tried flashing 5.0, 5.0.2, 5.1.1 still problem persists. Randomly at any time the glitched screen like seen in the pic is popped up in between from any app or just home screen. First i thought some app may be causing this but its not the issue. I deleted all the apps still this problem stays.

Hmm thanks
I've been spreading word in xda about the same issues. If you search the Q/A forum, you'd find too many people having this issue. This is due to a faulty GPU when the device heats up excessively. Recurrent issue in a Nvidia chip. If you bought it recently within 30 days on eBay, I'd suggest you return your device and claim your money back. Else I'm afraid you are screwed since neither HTC nor Google offer warranty if purchased through unofficial sources in India.

Now that what i feared. Let me see if they will take this back. Anyway thanks for the info that was really helpful
Unfortunately your Nexus 9 is toast. This happened to my first one and it got so bad it would happen during boot and I couldn't get any further. HTC was next to unless. Delt with them for 3 weeks trying to get an exchange. They are clueless. They wanted to try flashing stock image over and over. I'm like dude, I'm a Nexus owner. Don't you know your customer base? Anyways, best buy agreed to exchange it for a new one if I bought their premium protection plan, which I did gladly. But it is a hardware failure. There's no fixing it.
I just had my day one nexus replaced for the same issue last week. Had been getting worse for months. I called warranty service, told them about the screen corruption/noise/lockup issue needing a mainboard replacement. sent my tablet back and they overnited me a replacement that appears brand new (mine was mint condition as well). Still has lightbleed and so-so buttons but works great and I've put it through its paces. Only thing I had to tell them was the serial # but I was the original amazon purchaser.
Is it a newer build date than your original?
I had an experience similar to techiedj's. Got my old N9 replaced by Google a few weeks ago. Replacement looked brand new, but is actually an older built with slightly crappier buttons. Curious how long this one will last now...
These are the symptoms that I saw: At some point the screen started to flicker for a few seconds, then froze, and slowly turned black. After a few second I could turn on the display again. The area on the back next to the camera had become hot, but apps that read the sensor values did not really show high temperature (50 degrees or so). A good way to trigger it was to open Chrome and open multiple pages in a short time (opening different links in new tabs). Surprisingly, seemingly GPU intense games were less affected by this than Chrome. Factory reset did not help, even when I skipped the initial login/restore apps step.
Hopefully they aren't all doomed to this fait at some point. I have best buys replacement plan now, so this this can die early Jan 2017 and I'll get whatever the new Nexus is then.
Not really. HT4AJ I think it was, HT4AY on this one.

I went from an AE to an AF. Hard to believe best buy still had old stock, but I guess they didn't sell a lot of these. Buttons are nearly perfect on this one though. Way more tactile and the volume up isn't sunken in.

I've been reading through the RMA pieces and they are long and really don't end with good notes, but does anybody know of an escalation process for the Texas RMA center? I'm on my second go around with them after having the tablet since Feb where now I can't use it for more than 30 minutes without it locking up and / or rebooting and once it starts, it gets progressively worse until it just locks up and reboots at the first boot screen. It's happened both times with the tech support (so they even said it's not working right) even trying to go into the boot loader and doing a reset there and freezing up before I can even navigate over to do it).
Needless to say, the repair status is, "Product repair is in progress.-[WF9] Wait for Customer Confirmation-No Trouble Found". They haven't contacted me yet and really the trouble was found / seen by the tech on the phone. I use it for work non-stop (well, when I have it, back to pen and pencil now and explaining why I'm without it yet again) so I really need it fixed. Anybody have a way to escalate it? I really want it back and working. I loved it when it worked but now I feel that I was sold a defective product and they really don't have a repair department above if something is physically cracked.

Where did you purchase your Prime from? I might consider talking to the retailer, particularly if it was Amazon. I would explain to them the details of your situation and ask if they can do an exchange. You'd be happy to exchange this one for a working one, right?
I'm reasonably happy with my Prime. The features make Apple's product look like a toy. The post-sale support from ASUS, on the other hand, is absolutely horrible! After losing a couple of rubber feet on my dock, I sent a support REQ asking if I could get a set of rubber feet. They wanted me to do an RMA.
It's worth a try, asking your retailer...

Email Hai ([email protected]) he is the technical manager that was listed as a contact on the forums by Gary Key. He is not in Texas, he is in California however I worked with him on 3 separate RMA's for my prime and the guy is great. If you email him with the RMA number I am sure he can offer some assistance.
Hope this helps.
For anyone who has sent their prime in for RMA: do you recommend removing a screen protector before sending it? Will ASUS likely take it off? I have a Skinomi, and could probably get a new one under the lifetime warranty they have (if I have to take it off and it accidentally gets damaged), but if I can leave it on that would be ideal.
Thanks.

I wouldn't use a protector on prime in first place, it has gorilla glass but that's me . It all depends what are they fixing. The cpu or dock? If cpu, take it off and save it.

I sent mine in and got it back fine. Took just about 2 weeks total turn around. I took a bunch of photos of me packing it to prove it was packed. I sent NOTHING but the tablet. Nothing. No case, no SD card, no charger, no GPS dongle, no screen saver, no nothing.
But now, I am over this tablet and seriously don't even use it. Going to likely sell it.

I'm actually sending it in to see if I can get the camera fixed under warranty (even though I'm unlocked...fingers crossed). Then I am probably going to sell it. I figure I'd have better luck selling it with a working camera, so worth a shot to see if they'll fix it.

In case anyone cares, I have some good news for anyone considering an RMA for the camera. Just got mine back after sending it in, and upon first inspection it looks like 1) they replaced the camera module (works now!), and 2) I am still unlocked! I'll report back after trying to install Hairy Wookie Bean (or whatever it's called these days). :beer:

Asus authorized the repair of my unlocked prime, they swapped out the motherboard because of a sound problem, thats the good news
the bad news I got back it wiped, locked and restocked, with no current way to unlock, or OTA.So im stuck
My Nexus 10 has light bleed, which seems to be common among the users here at XDA. It also has a "dim patch", and multi-touch doesn't work properly. So i've decided to have the device replaced/repaired.
I contacted Google 2 days ago and explained my situation, they said that the only options they would have would be a remorse return (i'm already out of my 15 day window), or replacement. As many of you know, in order to have a replacement done it is required for Google to place a ~$400 hold on your card associated with your Google Play account then a new device is sent. I don't have a credit card and I cannot have $400 tied up for 2+ weeks, so i'm not able to use that option either. At that time they directed me to Samsung for further assistance with a warranty repair. I don't have an issue sending the device in, so I call Samsung.
A Samsung rep stated that "we just make the thing, we don't provide any service" and directed me back to Google for assistance. I brought up the warranty information included in the box with the unit itself, and he quickly denied any ability to file a repair order for a Nexus tablet.
So I call Google...
The first rep indicated that ASUS is their "go-to" repair partner, and I should have contacted them. He agreed that Samsung made the tablet, as well as confirmed the prior information about the replacement policy. Amused, I called back and requested a Supervisor. The "Floor Supervisor" in that particular call center stated the following: "*sigh* We've been getting this all day long, sorry for any misinformation you were provided. The only option to have the Nexus 10 replaced or repaired under warranty is under our replacement. We will replace your tablet for the warranty period only, provided there is no physical damage to the device from the user. Samsung will not respond to any inquiries about the Nexus 10 tablet, and does not offer any services for warranty repair. Your only option is to replace it with Google. Do you have any further questions?"
I decided to call Samsung again, because I couldn't believe that was the case. Within 5 minutes I had an e-mail with shipping labels to have my device repaired. The agent was a nice guy, and apparently frequents XDA. We had a conversation about the tablet itself and the entire Nexus launch process, talked about specs and whatnot and disconnected the call.
At this point i'm annoyed and offended with the whole Google experience.
I've had a pretty good experience so far with getting my Nexus 10 replaced.
So my tablet stopped working completely a few days after getting the 4.2.1 OTA update (had the busted base firmware) so I called up the devices support on Google Play, explained the situation to the guy on the phone and he emailed me a form that told me what I needed to do. Used the provided link to organise a pickup time/location and used a special link to order a new tablet (with the money being held until it's verified as covered by warranty).
I have my new tablet with the old one being picked up last week. Hopefully it doesn't take long to verify the tablet broke from no fault of my own and they release my money. The only strange thing is the form for the device pickup was about the Nexus 7 so hopefully it gets to the right place (And if it doesn't then it's not my fault because the guy I talked to knew it was a Nexus 10 and and the special play store link was for a nexus 10).
On the other hand I've been trying to get a refund for my Samsung monitor for a few months and I haven't heard anything from them.

They said 1-2 weeks before the device is at my door. They emailed the shipping label to me also. I included a small note with a list of device issues, just in case.
Dropped it off this morning, I'll report back with return time frame and what condition I get it back in.
To Samsung's credit, once I found someone who was knowledgeable it's been pretty smooth, we'll see what happens. Has anyone else done a warranty service for this device yet?

Please please let me know how this goes! I've yet to get a good one by Google but my original is the best of the lot. Everything other than the wonky notification light and screen are perfect and i don't want a worse one at the expense of the screen. If they just put a good panel in there it would totally be worth sending in for warranty work!

Sure, I have every intention of keeping this thread updated when I know something. As far as i'm aware and from what the employees at Samsung Support/Samsung Repair Center have said, this is one of the first (if not the first) warranty service requests processed for this device.
We'll see how it goes..
All of Samsung's standard service and support services apply. It's on their site as the GT-P8110.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-P8110HAEXAR
Waiting with baited breath on the return of your device man. Tomorrow is Tuesday... hopefully they send you some kind of tracking tomorrow so you know it's back for sure. Would be sad if they put the new panel in, fired it up, actually looked at it, found that they have a real problem with the screen tech they put in this thing and had to go through a few to get a good one! I'm more afraid that they just check to see if you have one that powers up, take a 2 second look at it and send it back. I would honestly live with very minor light bleed at 80-100% brightness and NO DIMMING BAND. The band is what is distracting to look at. I honestly cannot see my light bleed anymore, even when I look for it. It is only one spot, and only visible (barely) when I first power up at max brightness. It's that awful half inch dimming that runs the entire camera side of the device... the LONNNNG edge.
I regret that I did not take a before picture, but I'll know if it's repaired. I hope it is flawless, but it's not something I'm expecting. No update today, hopefully some news tomorrow.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Well whatever their resolution... It will let me know the limitations of what they can repair. If my replacement sucks badly... Ill send that one back as well. If your repair nets you a near perfect repair then Ill just send the original in to them. As I've stated many times before, minimal light bleed under extreme conditions is OK for me... The dimming is not.

I completely agree. I don't really expect to have a flawless unit in terms of light bleed, but I'll admit that I am disappointed with the amount of bleed on some of the units we've seen.
Update on Samsung: According to the tracking system, the tech replaced the LCD panel and QC'd it, then two other individuals also signed off that it passes their QC. I plan to call today to see if anything else is being done, or if they plan to ship it soon. With the upcoming holiday, UPS may take require some extra time to get it here.

This happened to mine after 4-5 months as well and I just wanted it replaced, had a hell of a time with HTC, but I have a new one now. So far so good, but there is a growing post of users on Google + all experiencing this issue. HTC/Google needs to openly communicate if this is a known hardware fault with the first batch. As far as I'm concerned it should be illegal for any company not to. What happens if it doesn't fail until just after the warranty period. They are going to say we're SOL for something they knew was a ticking time bomb? I've only seen one company get a situation like this right and that was Microsoft with the red ring of death on the original Xbox 360. Extended the warranty to 3 years with all shipping included. You called an 800 number, a new 360 arrived and the old one went back in the box.

Best Buy was nice enough to exchange mine if I agreed to purchase the 2 year premium replacement plan from them, which I honestly wouldn't own this tablet without at this point. I can drop and smash it and they will replace it no questions asked until end of Jan 2017
HTC send me the new one but do not has warranty. I worry that after 5 or 6 month of use the problem happens again. Maybe i will sell the tablet. I lost the confidence of the HTC Nexus 9

This happened to my first Nexus 9 and I had it replaced. Nexus 9's that have been successful repaired for this issue have had a new motherboard installed by HTC. Mine happened after only 4 months of use, but my new N9 has been about 9-10 months without issue. In my opinion this is a hardware defect that should be recalled outside of warranty by HTC. If the same thing has happened to many N9's, which it has, necessitating a replacement of the motherboard, this is not warranty work. This is a manufacturing error on behalf of HTC. Is it our fault if the ticking time bomb goes off after 12 months? Any I swear HTC's tech service is told to play dumb. If you call and ask them about the issue, they've never heard of it. Yeah, like **** you never heard of it. I love my N9, but I will never give HTC my money again.
+GibsonSGJ Thanks. Bought direct from Google, and yes its out-of-warranty. Nevertheless, will have a go at Google on Monday
So many bad things about Nexus 9, N9 just don't lived up to expectations. This is why I didn't buy the Pixel C when it was released.
Anyway, I do have a temporary solution for fixing the issue.
Disclaimer and Advice: Take your own responsibility. Think twice before you follow my method.
Steps:
1. Prepare a Mattress.
2. Play with your Nexus 9 and wait until the notorious issue to happen again.
3. When that annoying things show itself, grab your N9 and smash the Back of N9 toward the Mattress over and over again.
4. Keep Repeating the cycle until N9 reboot system itself. And stop smashing when you see your beautiful wallpaper.
5. N9 should be working normally for a few days. For my own experience, it works normally for at least 3 days and 7 days top.
Remember, it's just a Temporary solution. The notorious issue would happen again later. And by that time, do it again. Ah, If the rumor is true, I will keep using my Nexus 5 rather than buy an HTC Nexus phone.

No, it is not out-of-warranty, it is two years warranty. Talked to Google - they will give me a free refurbished replacement device

The Nexus 9 always had a one year warranty. I'm unable to find anything online regarding the warranty being extended to two years. Is this something Google is doing for Nexus 9's that were purchased from the play store? I got mine from Best Buy and I'm pretty sure if I call HTC they are going to tell me it has a one year warranty.
Cannot find the warranty document, but who am I to complain about getting two years warranty. You may be right that they are doing this for direct Google customers. The replacement N9 feels like new (maybe it is)?
The replacement refurbished N9 works very well, but it does get hot (>40C).

They all get hot around the processor with most games and chrome. However, I can watch downloaded MKV's or MP4's on MX or I can run SNES 9X EX+ all day with my bluetooth SNES30 gamepad, and the thing barely breaks a sweat!
Wondering if this is a common issue with these.
I got this tablet for my son during the first "Tablet On Us" promotion last year and it's a piece of junk. He's had issues with it basically within a few months of getting it. The biggest one is it reboots and goes into a bootloop once it gets to around 30% battery. I'm assuming the battery % is actually reading way off, hence the battery is dead or about dead even though it reads 30%.
Is there something I can try? Flash a custom rom? Factory reset?
Thanks.

It's clearly a battery problem. I had same issue with my OPO. Just replace your battery
If its still under warranty, change it. I changed two (son and daughter ones) already. and i think my wife's one is starting to do it as well.. always happens at 30%. The device is great except for this damn battery thing.
if you got it thru t-mobile I bet it still under warranty. call them. or call lg.. But i think t-mobile is the better option. They order a new one for you and send it to your local store. you'll go and pay $20 for the exchange fee. If you go thru LG, the warranty should be in effect but you have to send the tablet in.. and wait.. at least with tmobile direction, you get a tablet right away. I rather pay the extra few bucks and get one right away. shipping to LG maybe $8-10?

Sorry, completely missed that you replied. I think I'm going to give that a try. Replacement batteries are $80 on eBay, not worth my normal DIY at that point.
I'll see what T-Mobile says. Glad I'm not the only one with the issue.
Bro today i tried readback utility and its failed.
But it worked with k3note. Also worked for lenovo A7000+ and successfully fetched recovery.img for both devices
Mtk drivers installed properly. But dont know where it went wrong?
I think oppo managed not to respond while power off.
And also i searched that oppo will fully prevented fastboot services since 2016
https://forum.xda-developers.com/r7-plus/help/decision-oppo-bootloader-fastboot-t3348114
So all ptovided resources brought Nill out come for my device.
Started hating my device.
And specially thanking for ur efforts made. And also for the time and patience u invested.
Anyone know of a compatible battery for these? Batteries are $80 on eBay and can't find them "for parts" cheap either. Curious if you can take another similar sized battery and just splices the wires.
just wanted to chime in that I am also suffering from this. Had these issues for the past 6 months and sadly missed the warranty period.
I had to fall back on my 5 year old samsung tablet for my son.
I used to work in wireless and my experience lead me to the phrase, "LG, Lucky if its Good.
I broke from this belief to give them a shot years later only to find nothing has changed with their quality.

I know I'm almost two months late to this post, I haven't logged on here in a while. Do you happen to have a link?

I got the one from Amazon about two weeks ago and replaced it with great success! No more boot loop and normal charge and battery functionality. I think it was like 22$
