Original nvidia shield tablet can't connect to wifi anymore

Hi. I recently reflashed the stock OS on my Shield tablet but it can't connect to my home wifi. Worked fine with previous router. However it can connect to my Redmi Note 10 pro hotspot *only* if i choose the 2.4 Ghz band. My router has both bands available. Don't know whats wrong, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks you.

Onn 4K pro / shield tube which

I have a shield tube which has worked fine for going two years all I do is stream my iptv. Lately I have to unplug it numerous times for it to start working. If I turn my tv off and turn it back on without waiting too long it’s fine it’s when I leave it off for an extended time. Has anyone had this issue with their shield

I have the Asurion plan and they’re going to give me a full refund minus the tax I paid I will be buying another shield but in the meantime I need to get something to use while I send my tube back and get the refund. My question is does the Onn 4K pro do decent upscaling if any. Once I get my new shield I’ll move the Onn pro to another room

Anyone not using their Throne and Liberty Amitoi code? 🥺

Hi everyone! s2 I saw that Throne and Liberty has a promotion for the Amitoi, but my graphics card is AMD, so I can't redeem it. Just thought I’d try my luck here—if anyone has a code they're not planning to use, I'd be beyond grateful! Just looking for a little in-game fun. Thanks so much for reading!

My original recalled NVIDIA Shield Tablet came back to life from the brick update

After the tablet recall back in the day of the original NVIDIA SHIELD Tablets I kept the bricked tablet which was deactivated once I got the new unit. I thought I will one day come back to it and bring it to life...today when we were going through old stuff I found it in one of the boxes, plugged it in and it just started working...Its now updated and kinda fast to be honest :-D

External HDD format and enclosure questions

I am considering connecting an external USB HDD as removable storage to my shield pro (2019).

  1. Is there a size limitation? I am considering an 18TB drive.
  2. Does it matter if the NTFS hdd partition format is mbr or gpt?
  3. Are there any known issues with the Sabrent EC-KSL3 enclosure?

Thanks!

Thoughts on using shield with 4k 60hz TV?

So after my laptop died and having used geforce now on ultimate tier with success I'm thinking of buying a shield tv pro for use on my 2017 4k 60hz samsung TV.

Am I right it saying my fps will be no higher than my TV refresh rate of 60hz =60 fps?

Will it still look and play great? Used ultimate on a laptop with 144hz screen and looked fantastic but I'm curios if I will be disappointed in comparison to using on my home 60hz TV?

Cheers any advice would be good and thoughts too.

Will be hard wiring and using ethernet as I have 50mps download

Hey, Need help Shield Console.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a bit of help. I just bought a Shield Console. The problem is that the previous owner reset the console before selling it. Now I'm having a lot of trouble connecting to the store or performing any updates. I would like to turn the Shield into an emulation machine and a small media center with KODI. Do you have any links to a guide or tutorials to help me? Thanks in advance, SubRezo.

Shield Portable question

Selling my handheld consoles and wanting to buy one for general emulation for like DS, GBA, etc. as well as, the games you can naturally play from steam and other places. My question is: can it run Dark Souls 1 ? Like I’d assume it’d be the steam version. Maybe even Borderlands 1 or 2 ? Those sort of games. If not, does anyone know of a list somewhere that shows what this thing can do ? My friend in middle school had one of these and it looked cool as hell. I’m tired of buying consoles to play games when I can just buy the game and emulate them. Thanks in advance for advice!

Need advice on replacing the battery on tablet k1

my battery has gotten swollen so I need to know what size is the battery on the tablet k1. Anyone can help me find the right size for it? Do you guys have any guide on how to replace the battery? I checked iFixit and YouTube but they both do things differently like in iFixit they removed the side while on the YouTube they removed the one on the battery itself?

Flash FW bypassing NVidia Shield

Hello everyone,

I tried to clone the hard drive of my Nvidia Shield Pro 2015 in raw mode, but the process is halted due to errors on the source. In fact, the device had started to slow down significantly, and I realized that the issue was actually the damaged hard drive.

I would like to replace it with a 1TB SSD, but I can’t enter Fast Boot Mode, probably because the dedicated partition is missing since I removed the original HDD.

My question is: is there a way to flash the firmware image directly from a Windows PC without involving the Shield TV?

Thank you.

Shield Portable - OBB files are disappearing from the OBB folder

So, i flashed the last oficial firmware, copied a few games like portal and half Life 2, everything was working just fine. After 2 days o boot up the shield to discover that all the game data folders inside OBB folder are gone but the storage still shows as full... After a factory reset the storage keeps saying its full and the only way to clear everything is to erase all data from trwp and flash everything again.

Its driving me crazy, any idea how to fix it? I belive the folders are getting blocked or something..

Stuttering in video apps

I've been experiencing this stuttering in all apps expert YouTube. I've tried moving the apps to external storage and it makes no difference. I've also changed the frame rate option and it's also made no difference. Any idea what might be going on?

Shield Controller P2570

Hi all, I have an opportunity to buy a 2015 model Shield Controller P2570 that's in good condition for $15.

This controller would operate as "controller 2" for the Shield, as my primary controller is the newer 2017 model (P2920). I use GeForce Now, Moonlight, and streaming apps on the Shield.

Questions - there is still no way to get rumble working on the 2015 controllers, correct? Also, would you jump on this deal as a backup / Player 2 controller or would you still rather pay up for an Xbox Controller or 8BitDo Controller instead?

Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth headphones no sound?

Using a set of BT Headphones on my shield. They were connecting and working fine. Now all of a sudden I can not get any sound out of them. The Volume (BT) goes up on the screen and the headphones are paired fine but no sound.

I am wondering if there is a hidden menu Item I tripped which would cause this. Any ideas?

Shield Pro just turns off

So I've had a Shield Pro for maybe 8 months and it's been good. But just today it started randomly just shutting off for no apparent reason after maybe 5-15 minutes watching any viewing stream. What's my next step?

What's the latest custom rom for shield tab K1 for play store connection?

I want to turn the tablet into a "retro tablet" for good old android games, but sadly with the stock OS, play store crashes when i go to my apps, as i want to install all the good games from 2009-2014. As well as possibly a notes tab as well, or drawing tablet for simple sketches/drawing tablet for windows
