Thank God I came to XDA before pulling the trigger on one of these. No lie, I was dead set on getting one in the next 30 minutes.
[Shield Tablet General] Kirotan:
I'm honestly not too surprised either.

Nvidia doesn't have a strong OEM track record either. Most of the time, if you've purchased a 'Nvidia GPU', you're purchasing a card developed by another OEM which uses Nvidia tech/chips. My understanding is that the Shield is Nvidia OEM- it's an Nvidia chip, on an Nvidia board, in an Nvidia-designed hardware unit. In the US, they only seem to sell Nvidia OEM cards at Best Buy (probably for good reason), so I've never seen Nvidia cards anywhere other than Best Buy, which admittedly, can be pretty spotty at times too.

I'm not sure where all these issues are coming from too- all mine has is weak wifi signal. When I'm in decent range of my AC/N router, the signal is great, but it degrades quickly beyond 4ft away. I've dropped this tablet all over the place, and used it for pretty heavy gaming with K1-optimized titles, and I still have no cracks after a month and a half; Can't say the same about my Nexus 7 though, which is in horrific shape.

What the heck does gamergate have to do with an nvidia tablet? Easy to see why that was deleted.
[Shield Tablet General] rebski:
How very interesting.:rolleyes:

Is that really your best response to the topic?
[Shield Tablet General] nrage23:
It is a shame such a device has the manufacturing issues. I can say from my experience that Nvidia's support is top notch. I had the screen got out after about 6 months on my Shield Portable and they sent me a new one in just a couple of days. They also RMA'ed my Shield Tablet do to cracking with no issues.
[Shield Tablet General] Diesel779:
I've just ordered one of these tonight, it's being delivered in the morning. After reading about it here which I should have done first, it will be going straight back unopened.
[Shield Tablet General] cosmicsanity:
Thank heavens! Tell your parents, coworkers and your uncle.

Don't support a product that has the company deleting forum posts and ignoring issues altogether.
[Shield Tablet General] Kirotan:
If you are still interested in one, it might be worth waiting a year or two, until (if) they hit deal sites as refurbs. I bought a Nexus 7 2013 at launch, and it had all sorts of build issues, but two of my team members got refurb models from Woot recently, and both are in a lot better condition than mine was at launch. >_>
[Shield Tablet General] bromancer:
Of course the truth differs greatly from the OP's statements.

He got banned for being an obsessive-compulsive and an outright obnoxious troll, not because of some great crackpot conspiracy regarding his petition or whatever. He also got - at least some of the less offensive - posts returned along with being unbanned, but these kind of facts would just ruin a nice story.

Made up stories are made up. Simple as that. There's a few of these cases on every forum and the Shield Tablet section on Nvidia's forum isn't an exception.
[Shield Tablet General] cosmicsanity:
Back up your facts with proof or get the **** out. Simple...
[Shield Tablet General] nrage23:
It is an excellent tablet. If you have an issue they will replace it. Use the device and draw your own conclusions. Nvidia has a lot of devices out there and this is just one thread with one disgruntled customer. No company is perfect and in my case at least they have done what needed to be done for my issues.
[Shield Tablet General] Diesel779:
Thanks for the reply. I'm still undecided on whether or not to send it back. I've taken it out of the box, but left it in the wrapper and ha a bit of a play with it. It's fast! Very fast! Speakers sound amazing. I like that it can take a 128gb sd card so I can put plenty of media on there. I'm just really worried about the cracking issue. What issue did you have?
[Shield Tablet General] nrage23:
My first one did get 2 corner cracks. They did replace it without issue. The replacement is 2 weeks old with no issues so far and is seems more solid. The first one I had the back cover always seemed loose.
[Shield Tablet General] Diesel779:
Thanks again. I've just been doing a bit of web browsing and this tablet does seem to get warm rather quickly.
[Shield Tablet General] bromancer:
There's an entire subsection that Nvidia forum for proof. It really is that simple. No conspiracies involved. Of course some of these delightfully informative and "serving the public good" posts aren't visible anymore, same thing with most of the sensible and intellingent well-argumented discussions I'm referring to.

Really, if you follow that particular forum, you know. As does everybody else. "I got banned for posting a petition", I would have never thought that anyone would fall for that...

Since it's obvious you won't get around to it, here's a helpful link for starters - the particular petition thread:

https://forums.geforce.com/default/...dia-to-tell-us-what-the-plan-is-with-cracks-/

A troll failing to play the martyr card. That's all there is to it. Feel free to disagree, there's an entire forum subsection that agrees though :)
[Shield Tablet General] cosmicsanity:
I think you are failing to understand what other people are going through. I had 3 NVIDIA Shield Tablets that all developed cracks. I'm not trying to say it is a horrible product, it has the best specs you could find in a tablet other than the Nexus 9 but what I don't understand is why Nvidia is pretending this is not a big issue, obviously it is and it needs to be resolved quickly. Did I want to keep the devices? Sure I did, but

(play lonely guy staring into open sea scene) can I, knowing someday it will fall apart and leave me in tears
[Shield Tablet General] bromancer:
I'm not trying to downplay that issue, seriously. Just trying to point out that the OP is full of it and only using this petition - which Nvidia restored promptly after the community reacted to its disappearance - to martyrize the actual situation, getting temporarily banned for repeated trolling. Coincidentally he joined XDA the last time he got banned, to continue his tirade here.

Considering how many threads there are on Nvidia's own Shield Tablet forum section about all the issues and how they're not censored and their moderators allow people like the OP to continue their behavior as long as they don't directly break the forum rules, these kind of "OMG I was banned in an attempt to sweep issues under the rug" are ridiculous.

Just to make it clear, those sarcastic remarks like "serving the public good" where just about the overall situation regarding the OP's behavior on Nvidia's forum. Which I really hope never transfers over here.

Hopefully that explains my posts. Otherwise I'm there with you people, fearing the day my Shield Tablet develops cracks or goes haywire or I start noticing those screen distortions under normal pressure applied to it. So far I'm one of those mostly silent lurkers who's had good luck with his device and the battery life turned excellent once I de-Googleized it.

We the owners and users of Shield Tablets just don't need people like the OP to speak for us or represent us in any way. They do nothing else but damage the whole situation and make everything difficult for everyone else. Mostly for us, which is a damn shame.
[Shield Tablet General] asim.sidz:
An expensive and sophisticated device like Nvidia Shield cracking? I think this issue shoudn't be ignored. You guys are justified for your actions. Nvidia should act more responsible towards this issue. Though i'm still lucky to not have any cracks yet.
[Shield Tablet General] MRCANNADY:
Guys, Ive been following the OPs post on the Nvidia forums, and I can confirm 1,000% that he is one if not THE biggest troll! Its one thing to complain, but all he did was post negative comment after negative comments, for example, anyone who stated that an update from Nvidia fixed the known wifi issue, he would troll those people calling them liars/etc. He was universally annoying on the site, and the majority was glad to see him banned. And instead of admitting his known reasons for getting banned, he comes here making up crap.

Typical troll
[Shield Tablet General] asim.sidz:

[Shield Tablet General] dibblebill:
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones! I'm over a month in now and not a single crack on EDITmy LTE model. Just issues w/ LTE on TMO.

EDIT: Crap. No, I just spotted a microcrack at a corner. Where do I go to RMA, rather than ask a question?

EDIT: Got in touch with them via Live Chat. They're putting me in for an RMA and listed its TMO LTE behavior as, quote, "not usual".
[Shield Tablet General] asim.sidz:
You should always take photos of physical deformities and/or cracks before you give it for replacement. Upload it too so that we can have a look at it. Mine has not given me any cracks "yet".

If you leave it in a case you won't have to worry
[Shield Tablet General] ShortwaveTech:
My issue wasn't my shield burning up, cracking apart, wifi, or screen distortion.. Coil whine.

No.

It was that I explained to support I live in the country and it cost me 20 dollars to go to a Fed-ex.

And that by reading their forum it seems many people have been sent up to 4 dysfunctional replacements, other peoples unchecked RMA's with other various issues.

I was assured the problem is sorted finally and I'd get a new one...

Right on the box, RMA.

Turned it on, distorted screen..

Before I sent back the first, I asked if I could return both to save me money and time..

It took them over 15 days to reply and didn't even answer my question, just said they can start the process now for my 2nd..

I waited till' the 14th day before sending it in hoping I could save myself another wasted 20 dollars on this product.

All they had to do was either tell me the issue really isn't resolved and I'd of politely waited till it was to RMA.

Or basically, just not lie to me.

I've spent over a month now in RMA loops with newegg and nvidia.

Newegg decided to take off a 100 dollars on a recent AMD video card puchase, which was something.. To help comp' with all my time wasted and the headaches..

Nvidia.. "You're being upgraded to level 2 support to help you resolve this issue" Since then it's taken twice as long to get a reply, and they are not coherant and don't even answer a simple question I asked.. Since then I recieve emails asking me how the support was even though the case is open still and... Terribly unresolved.

I can't afford to RMA another one if I can't be assured it's not been splooged all over and used on the crapper by strangers and still ultimately suffering defects.

I fear when the year is up for a lot of people.

Since I can't realistically use touch on it in games as the screen distorts..

If this one cracks I'll have to write it off, tear it down and rebuild it in an old toolbox or something cool. Add a heatsink and mod the f*** out of it.

I'll have more fun with that than I will with the games this thing doesn't have.

Most played game, Chess..

Also the game that heated up my device enough to contract/expand/weaken the plastics enough to become brittle.

Was fine for three months, till' I played that game for a few days..

I find a connection there.

I fear "high end" titles..

Hi I'm looking for either the SI code or an FTF of the unlocked D2306.

I have searched all of the FTF threads and Xperia firmware downloaders and Google, and haven't found one yet.

If you have an unlocked version of this phone, would you mind listing your SI code?

You can do it like this:

Access the service menue (*#*#service#*#* otherwise known as *#*#7378423#*#*)

Service info -> Software info -> Customisation Version

If it's of use to anyone, I'm using Fido in Canada and the SI is 1282-4205_R2B

Thanks thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobster98:
Hello,

Okay so I had an HTC one that was stuck on the boot screen. Well I had a feeling it was rooted but was not sure because clorkworkmod always said boot with "root access" which I ignored. So first off I found something called guru reset 2.24.401.8 which was my version of my phone. So I used adb side load to move to my device then installed it. It worked fine and I was excited however it booted to a black screen with only the battery status, reception meter, and time bar. When I tried using recovery again the phone would show a green sign and then a red exclamation mark sign. I tried for so long going into recovery, but to no avail. I used fast boot to flash recovery and erase cache but did not work. I am terribly stuck and need help.

MID:PN0710000

Version:2.24.401.8

Please help a brother in need.

Thank you

Sorry for any mistake wrote this really late.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
When you flashed the Guru Reset you must have selected "stock recovery" because that is the black screen with green or red triangle. Follow these steps:

Get TWRP 2.6.3.3 from: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)

in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:

Okay you have been great help, and i need major help i have tried every thing, my phone doesn't boot up properly and just has a black screen, i have tried using guru reset 2.24.401.8 to reset and it doesnt work, i tried with an unlocked bootloader, but with S-On and i read an article saying guru reset should work regardless if it is s-on or s-off. im not sure though. I am not stuck because my phone Hboot is 1.54 and i have tried using rumrunner but doesnt work because my adb only work in recovery. I would like to S-off my phone to be able to install the guru reset. rom. I have tried using RUU's but cant find my radio version. is there any possible way to S-off my phone without an OS to install unto. Or is there any way to re-install my OS i am running out of ideas. Thank you very much!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
There is no way to s-off without a Rom on the phone.

You can push a Rom to the phone using adb in recovery. Which recovery are you using. You should use TWRP 2.6.3.3 to avoid any problems installing the Guru Reset Rom.

Put the Rom in your adb/fastboot folder and rename it to rom.zip. Connect adb in recovery and in the command window type.

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes several minutes. When it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

Here is the only RUU I could find that is a higher version than yours. There have been people who have bricked their phone by jumping version so I have provide the firmware for the version from 2.24.401.8 to RUU 4.19.401.9.

Firmware 3.62.401.1

Firmware 4.19.401.8

RUU 4.19.401.9

To flash the firmware, place the firmware in your adb/fastboot folder, open a command window in your adb/fastboot folder:

After the last firmware reboots, then run the RUU.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Follow [MENTION=3070392]majmoz[/MENTION] instructions, but for the record the RUU should work fine after flashing 3.62.401.1 firmware. As the RUU will contain the full firmware up to 4.19.401.9. So no risk of firmware mismatch.

Flash the 3.62.401.1 firmware as per majmoz instructions. Then you can use the RUU to update your phone to kit Kat.
