[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndrome666:
Hi all, so I've purchased the Nvidia Shield Pro (500GB) model the other day and noticed the device made some slight disk spinning noise, only to realize that this console comes with an HDD rather than flash memory. I also noticed that even thought this device is still running lollipop, I'm still able to utilize any one of the external ports as the default memory.

This question is mainly for those of you who had the opportunity to try both models. I'm not a fan of HDDs much, but the voluminous internal storage is convenient in a way, although I could easily do without it, if the 16gb is the more stable model. From my experience NAND flash based devices seem to run fast, but are they noticeably faster than their hybrid HDD counterparts? Is there any difference in speed and performance between the 16gb and the 500gb Shield TV devices? I'm asking because I noticed the Shield controller's home and back buttons don't always respond, and my device is running build v2.1 which supposedly fixed any known controller bugs. I'm tempted to return the 500gb and grab a 16gb just for the sole fact that the Pro model runs on dated hard disk technology, not to mention the faulty HDD units in some of these models. Let's hear some opinions on this, I've not found any comparison on these from a performance perspective. Every comparison I found so far brags about how advantageous 500gb is over 16gb, but no one seems to compare their performance side by side. So if you've tried out both variants, do you find the standard 16gb edition to process data quicker than the Pro model, and are you experiencing any unresponsiveness with the back and home buttons on shield's controller?

***edit***

Just ordered a 16gb Shield TV Console from GameStop. Since no one's chiming in on the topic, I'll have both versions in a few days and will post my findings after testing them side by side.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalkDubby2Me:
I did a little research and from what I understand the only real difference between them is the internal storage. Performance speeds are the same and it support external hard drives and SD cards. I know music, pictures, games, ect. can be stored on the SD card but can apps be stored to or is a root required. Either way I plan on getting the 16GB version and using this 128GB SD I have and rooting it and seeing how it goes. If it's what I think it's like, then this may be one of the greatest things to run the Android OS.

Hello some news ?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a5ian300zx:
To me I went for 16gb version as it would be flash memory so much quicker and no mechanical drives which equal less heat and less fan spooling.

Also the fact that they recalled the 500gb version and we're withdrawn from nvidia site.

Let us know your findings.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blyndfyre:
Apps can be stored on the SD card without root access. Keep in mind that the developer of the app must allow for this so there a few apps out there that will only install on internal storage, though I have yet to come across one.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndrome666:
Hey everyone, sorry it took me a month to post back, now that I've owned a 500gb for two weeks and a 16gb for a month, I've noticed a few slight differences. The 500gb was a tiny bit noisier as it utilizes an HDD alongside a nandflash for its internal storage. The HDD disk spins even while the device is in sleep mode, which is normal behavior with HDDs from what I gather. I'm just not a fan of having more moving parts in a device than necessary. Also, software updates and initial installation takes much longer on the 500gb model, probably due to slower write speeds on HDD. WiFi disconnecting bug after waking up from sleep mode on lollipop 5.1.1 seemed more persistent on the 500gb model as well. The only other difference I noticed was with fluidity, the 16gb doesn't seem to have much hiccups/stutters, where as on the 500gb (maybe mine was one of the defective units) it wouldn't respond right away after returning to home screen or in some apps the back and home buttons wouldn't register on first press more often then not (dolphin emulator being one of them). Once I set up the 16gb model, I haven't experienced any such issues, the back and home functions work every time in any app perfectly fine.

From what I can tell, the 500gb model was somewhat of a last minute decision as it feels less refined than the 16gb model. It's also not as great for modding as there seems to be less dev support for it. 500gb model may be a good choice for someone not looking to tweak this device, but rather for simple plug and play without much thinking involved. For all the mods and tweaks, custom ROMs, the 16gb seems to be the more popular choice. It's also the more refined and tested variant in my opinion.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sub-Negro:
Yeah I am kinda thinking I would've been better off grabbing the 16 gig model and adding a 128GB sd card. Does anyone know what kind of HD they use on it?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloshedpuppie:
I bought both - one for general living room tv use (16gb) and the 500gb for myself to put in my man cave and play games on. I couldn't wait to set the 500gb up for myself as I had already got the living room one working and I was absolutely gob smacked at what it could do - however - upon setting it up and filling it full of emulation stuff, I found it to be really disappointing. HOWEVER, upon further investigation, I discovered that if you have an external HD attatched to it - in my case a USB 3 2tb one - it dragged like hell, probably due to the fact that the HD is full of emulation artwork etc. Unplugging it seemed to solve the problem and now i'm back up to full speed (more or less) again.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrick:
Anyone else think its strange that Nvidia chose to go with completely different designs for both types? Surely it would have been easier, and more cost effective, to just leave the hdd port unoccupied on the 16gb version, so a hdd/ssd could be added at a later date. And £70 just for a 500gb hybrid drive? It certainly seems a bit on the steep side.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-RAD:
I would like to know how much of a difference a SSD would bring to the Pro version compared to the SSHD it has inside, if it's worth it when using it for Plex only
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bskinator77:
The SATV and the SATV Pro boards are the same with the Pro version having connectors added for the SSHD. The SSHD can be replaced with an SSD, but in my experiences I do not recommend the swap. The SSHD draws .74ma and a 500GB Samsung evo SSD draws 1.5A. I noticed strange behavior of the USB ports (perhaps from current starvation). I guess if one wanted to dive into the power circuit to see if the balance of the components would handle replacing the voltage regulator with a high output current replacement, then with a beefer regulator I would be on board with the ssd swap.

If you are after what the box is meant for the buy a SATV. If you are after dev, then buy a SATV PRO.

The SSHD can be added to the SATV buy soldering on a SATA connector and modifying the device tree....
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
From what I've read, the Pro model just isn't worth it. Everything runs off the hard drive, including the system ROM, so it is definitely slower. For the $100 difference you could buy a 2 TB external HDD instead and still keep your apps on the internal flash.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munna2002:
With Plex Server, is the 16GB version still worth it? I indirectly heard that the Plex Server quickly fills up the 16GB data of onboard memory, and cannot be used on an external USB 3.0 drive. Is this correct?

Can we also plug in a USB 3.0 SSD drive to the Shield, and have the system ROM and all apps run from the USB 3.0 SSD drive, leaving the 16GB onboard memory empty? If the answer is yes, then it's a nobrainer to use a regular Shield rather than a Shield Pro.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
I can't answer the first question (I run Plex on a PC, not the Shield) but for the second: there is a method but it's a little tricky. I'm using it now with an old SSD.

http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1580&start=410#p3628

Be sure to format the SSD on your PC and not the Shield or it won't work.

[XDA Assist] sterg.chr:
Hello everyone,

I am a beginner and just recently i managed to flash Cyanogenmod 10 in my Sony Xperia S (LT26i). But, I would like to test more custom ROMS in my phone (for example existenz v.1 or v.2). In order to do that, do I have to repeat the procedure from the begining each time (booting img file, and the the ROM and then the appropriate gapps zip in recovery mode)?

Is there a guide or guidline for flashing roms in general?

Thank you very much for your time.
[XDA Assist] Calin:
Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist :)

If you managed to flash the ROM in that way then that procedure will be the same also for the other custom ROMs for your device.

Do any of you have a Moto 360 (2014)?

They have it on special on Amazon and I am interested in it. Wanted to know those that have it if they like it.

I also had another question. I am left handed meaning I wear watches on the right, can I flip the watch over so that the button is facing the left and still have the watch functional? Or does the screen not auto rotate? Motorola is having a hard time answering that for me.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotmark:
I have one, and I love it. I get compliments on it all the time. I'm kind of into watches, my real ones are a Tag and a Movado. I tell people that one of the reasons I went with the Moto is because it looks like a real watch, and not some tablet on my wrist. As far as I can tell, it is left wrist only.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RemnantKing2:
Oh darn, I figured that if I swapped the bands and flipped the watch, that hopefully the face would rotate to allow me to use it on the right...I ordered one anyways.

Never really was into watches until my first watch last year, and since then I've fell in love with them.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aftab_khatri:

I am not too sure if this is the right forum.

I manage a mail server (MDaemon) and use IMAP for all of my email.

in WM2003SE when I went to the IMAP folder list, it would display everything including all public folders (in my server's case, beginning with a # (ie #PUBLIC)

In WM5 those folders do not show up.

I would love to be able to get them back without moving to FlexiMail.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
