Nexus 9 のヒント:最初にやるべき 9 つのこと
あなたが、Nexus 9 が Google Play ストアや最寄りの小売店に登場するとすぐに急いで手に取った多くの人の 1 人なら、Android 5.0 Lollipop にひざまずいていて、そのことさえ知らないかもしれません。現在よりもさらに良くなります。あなたがする必要があるのは、Nexus 9 の実行中の Android をさらに良くするためにいくつかのことを微調整することだけです.ここでは、Nexus 9 を箱から取り出して最初に行うべき重要なヒントを紹介します。

タップ＆ゴーを使う
NFC と Bluetooth を備えた Android デバイスをお持ちの場合は、Nexus 9 を最初にセットアップするときにタップ &ゴー機能を使用する必要があります。セットアップの最初の実行中に、タップ＆ゴー画面全体。
他のデバイス (NFC と Bluetooth が有効になっているもの) をつかみ、2 つを一緒にタップします。 NFC ペアリング音が聞こえ、すべてのアプリ、アカウント、データの Bluetooth 転送が新しいタブレットへの移行を開始します。素早く、簡単に、本当に素晴らしいです。
Nexus 9 バッテリー セーバーのセットアップ
Android 5.0 の最大の機能の 1 つは、新しいストック バッテリー セーバー モードです。確かに、この種の機能は今年、他のすべての OEM フラグシップに搭載されていますが、これまでの Android の機能にはありませんでした。
[設定]> [バッテリー] に移動し、右上隅にある小さなオーバーフロー メニュー ボタンを押して、[バッテリー セーバー] をオンにします。その後、残り 15% または 5% でオンにするかを選択できます。私を信じてください。バッテリー セーバーは、バッテリー残量が少なくなったときの効果が不可欠です。

メールを Gmail にリダイレクトする (そしてデッド アプリを捨てる)
非常に奇妙に思えますが、Google は古いメール アプリを Nexus 9 に残すことを決定しましたが、開くとスプラッシュ スクリーンが表示され、Gmail アプリの監視下にあることがわかります。つまり、基本的には、理由もなくアプリの引き出しのスペースを占有する中空のアイコンです。そのため、''アプリ'' を起動し、Gmail アイコンの代わりに誤ってメール アイコンをタップしてしまった場合に備えて、Gmail にリダイレクトする小さなボックスをチェックしてください。
ただし、中空のアプリも削除する必要があります。 [設定]> [アプリ] に移動し、[すべて] タブで [メール] を見つけます。そこに入り、無効にします。 It will now disappear from your app drawer but any Exchange or Yahoo, Outlook etc accounts that you have will still be redirected to the Gmail app via Exchange Services. The Email app will now live in limbo on the Disabled tab in Apps if you ever decide you want a useless app icon in your app drawer in the future.

Familiarize yourself Interruptions and Priorities
When you first hit the volume button on your Nexus 9 you may notice there's some additional information there. ''None,'' ''Priority'' and ''All'' now appear underneath the volume slider. These are your Interruptions settings, which you can also access through Settings> Sound &Notification> Interruptions.
This setting lets you set up rules for what you consider to be priority interruptions as well as the days and times during which you want to be notified of them. So, for example, you can set Events &Reminders as priority notifications during work hours and perhaps phone calls and messages from your family only as well. Alarms are always priority notifications, so don't fret.

Take control of Chrome
Fortunately, the Nexus 9 doesn't suffer from the same irritating default Chrome setting that the Nexus 5 does, where Chrome tabs are accessible through the Recent Apps list rather than through the in-app tab switcher. If you use other apps in between Chrome windows, your Chrome tabs will be separated in the Recents list.
Fortunately you can change this in Chrome's settings, but the Nexus 9 has the traditional tab view. However, head to Chrome Settings anyway and go to the Advanced tab. Check the box for ''Force enable zoom'' to override website's that don't automatically let you zoom in, and set yourself a comfortable font size for when you double tap a paragraph in Chrome.
- Everything you need to know about Android 5.0 Lollipop
Get yourself a better music player
I mean, seriously. No offense Google, but I don't trust you to give me the best out of my sexy new BoomSound stereo-front-facing speakers. Sure, they’re bassy and loud but I want to tweak the living daylights out of them to get exactly the audio experience I want.
So head to the Play Store and grab an app with a great EQ like Poweramp. There's a free trial version but you'd do well to dig deep and fork out the couple of bucks it costs to get the full version because with speakers like this, you want them sounding their absolute best. BoomSound all the things!
Set up Smart Lock
You're on the front foot of Android with the Nexus 9. One of the coolest features of Android 5.0 Lollipop is easily Trusted Devices, or personal unlocking if you prefer. Once you have a lock screen security set up, you will have access to the previously grayed out Smart lock section in Security.
- Android 5.0 security:everything you need to know
From here you can set your lovely mug as a Trusted Face or your smartwatch, an NFC badge or any other Bluetooth device as a Trusted Device, meaning that when you're in the vicinity of that Trusted Device you can bypass your lock screen security entirely. Once your Trusted Device is out of range, your lock screen security kicks back in. It's simple, brilliant and the future of mobile security.
Set your lock screen notifications
When you use swipe to unlock as your unlock method you only have two options for lock screen notification visibility:show all notifications or none at all (accessible in Settings> Sound &Notification> ''When device is locked''). Once you set up a more secure lock screen security option though, that expands to include another option:hide sensitive notification content.
This means that while you'll still be able to see that emails etc have arrived, you won't be able to swipe down to preview their contents on the lock screen unless you first enter your lock screen security method. While it's kinda cool to be able to see everything right there on the lock screen, perhaps you don't want just anyone that picks your Nexus 9 up to be able to see the same things.
Double tap to wake
Don't forget that the Nexus 9 supports double tap to wake! Quite possibly the greatest software feature to grace Android in the past year. When your screen is off, simply double tap it to wake it from sleep! If you install an alternate launcher like Nova Launcher, you can then turn it off again by double tapping in the status bar up top (accessible via Nova's settings).
What are your thoughts on the Nexus 9 so far? What's your favorite part of Android 5.0?
