Found temporary solution for this.

Disable navigation bar and install thirdparty control app like gesture control.

To disable navigation bar, gravitybox can be used or simply adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop works.

Then In that case I'd perform a factory reset in TWRP, and then flash these files in this order (OpenGAPPS, Magisk, and Shield-fier). After that, wipe dalvik/art cache. This seemed to work for me.

Not sure if that's a bug or if the devs made it that way on purpose, but I can't imagine them doing the latter. I'll add it to the OP nonetheless.

This works for me too, I use Fluid Navigation Gestures to accomplish this.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] lala_petizoo:
I've also reflashed 1 or 2 times but without shieldifier, is it perhaps necessary to make everything work? It said it was optional so I skipped it, but I'll try flashing again with it to see any changes..

Thank you for the help in advance.

Oh hey, just saw this thread, was rather busy the past two days. Thanks a lot for writing this all down [MENTION=5630976]Mario119[/MENTION] ! Much appreciated! I’m sure some of the stuff can be fixed easier, some will require more work. Given Pie zu dropped for the Shield TV, maybe that will magically fix some of these too :D
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Phillyrider807:
With Pie now out for the shield are you also planning on updating switchroot to pie? Also do yall have any internal plans on working out the joycon issues?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
I didn’t mention Pie without reason :P I’m not home this week which is also why I’ve been pretty quiet overall, but i plan to look into it, and so is ByLaws but he’s also not home this (and next?) week. So don’t expect stuff to happen quickly.

It's the least I could do, you guys are the ones who made this project a reality after all ;)

Anyhow, I wanted to report a couple of bugs that I have ran into myself. If anyone is able to confirm these, that'd be swell.

- When using file transfer via FTP, the connection seems very unstable. I'm unable to transfer anything from my PC over 1GB or so without the connection completely dropping.

- Downloads from the Play Store sometimes slow to a crawl, but if you pull down the status bar and pause/resume the download it'll shoot back up to full speed.

- Sometimes the Switch will take a few seconds to wake up after pressing the power button, though the majority of the time it's near instantaneous as it should be.

Hi, I'm having an odd issue. Everything was working beautifully except R3/L3 the past few days (Nvidia would crash every few minutes). Today, I installed the joycon fix patch. Now I'm getting constant--like every few seconds--popups from google saying that play services have stopped. It just won't end. I flashed a new SD card, followed the guide like I did the first time, but included the joycon fix (cleared the cache just like with gapps), and I can't even sign in because it keeps saying that play services have crashed as I'm trying to sign in.

I'm installing on another SD card to see if the issue recurs, this time without the joycon fix.

For some reason, I have no keyboard. When I try to enter my wifi password, I get the Google Voice Assistant. I have skipped all that and can't seem to change the input settings.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] creeperlwd:
I'm having 2 issues:

- Downloading large things from google play is basically impossible, it starts alright on my 5GHz access point but after ~100-200MB it slows down to basically nothing and I have to disable and enable wifi to get it to resume. My non-5GHz access point maxes out at 300KB/s (from the same router) and has the same stopping problem.

- when docking my switch it doesn't display the image correctly, i can see part of the screen, so it is connected but the right side of the screen is wrong with weird lines over it. Maybe it's because it's a 1440p display? Shouldn't it tell the display to upscale from 1080p?

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Mario119:
Let me know how this works out!

That's odd, the AOSP keyboard came right up for me the first time. I'd try formatting your SD Card and re-flashing the image from the ROM thread, perhaps something didn't go right the first time.

1) This happens to me too, apparently people are saying in the official thread that it's a known bug. Hopefully it'll get fixed in the next patch.

2) Are you using the official dock? I have a 4K display and everything upscales properly for me.

USB OTG , along with USB MTP not functioning are both officially recognized bugs by the developers.

As for the docks not working, compatibility with third-party docks seems to be iffy. My dock doesn't work at all. But the official one that came with the Switch works fine, for me at least. Have you tried un-docking and re-docking a few times?

Yeah, this seems to happen to me as well. The only fix I could find is disabling the navigation bar and using a gesture based solution (I recommend Fluid Navigation Gestures).

It worked the first time but never got onto the Home Screen. After wiping in TWRP and re-installing is when the no keyboard issue started happening. I re-flashed the SD card, installed GAPPS and was able to setup properly. Thank You!

I use an ethernet adapter plugged into my dock and it works 100% on the OG switch OS but I've only been able to connect once using the ethernet in docked mode (I undocked the switch to enable Bluetooth and connect the joycons and docking it again it never came back up, no matter how many times I try re-dock or reboot the system) and with an OTG adapter it doesn't register either. Also with WiFi, I had to change my router to a lower channel as it just wasn't picking mine up but I found all my neighbors signals, changed the router to channel 4 and it came up instantly.

Bugs here.

I had already posted these bugs over on the main thread but I decided to put it here just in case.

Microphone: Bluetooth and aux-based microphones do not work at all.

USB: This is probably an OTG issue but it doesn't send data in nor out. This means headphones that can plug into the Switch cannot get power nor audio output to them and that also means that the microphones on them do not work either.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] thatmellon:
I have the same issue. I’ve tried it on multiple TV’s but I only get it on one TV and that’s a 75” 4K display.

My assumption is in order to output the resolution it cuts the performance down, I’ve had a look in the settings but can’t find a work around. I first noticed it when I tried an emulator the ran 60fps during handheld and then ran 30fps when docked.

These all worked on other TV’s fine though. I tried a 55” full HD, a 32” 720p and a 22” 1080p and all the apps ran fine like in handheld, it’s only the 75” 4K what had that issue for me.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
You can slightly remedy the battery consumption issue with an application such as Greenify or Servicely. I've tested both out and noted my results in another thread. I'm currently using Servicely at the moment. My temporary remedy to the finicky touch screen is using a bluetooth mouse to navigate through screens and menus.

A2 rated microsd cards don't seem to work

I've tried a lot of microsd cards and two I've tried keep giving a bad install, they won't boot into LineageOS and when loading into TWRP the storage of both "Micro SD card" and "Internal Storage" show 0MB.

Both cards are legit bought from a store and the only thing that I can think of is because they are both A2 rated(the rest I've tried work and aren't A2 rated).

Could it be something else or is this a known problem?

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
What're the exact Micro SD cards that you're using? I have a Nintendo Sandisk Yellow Mario Star A2 U3/V30 256gb Micro SD card and it operates flawlessly. The OS is instant and the only time I noticed any slowdown was when I was downloading multiple (5-7) game ROM's at the same time. I'd also suggest you format the Micro SD cards entirely through cmd.exe before you flash over them with BalenaEtcher.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] krampyl:
Thanks for your reply, the cards I'm using are Sandisk Extreme A2 U3/V30 128gb and Sandisk Extreme Pro A2 U3/V30 400gb. Since yours is both A2 and Sandisk and works I guess it's something else. I've used a couple of different partition managers and just tried formatting from command prompt first but it didn't help. can you think of anything else? Thanks again.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
Well, let's ponder. I bought my Micro SD card brand new, opened it, and inserted it into my computer. I used BalenaEtcher to flash the 128gb image and then proceeded to go through the steps of installing and setting up Lineage OS.

1) What happens when you insert a Micro SD card into your Nintendo Switch and then turn it on? Will the console format and read the card?

2) Are you able to inject Hekate and get into the Micro SD card information screen?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] krampyl:
Yeah the Switch formats it normally and here's the Micro SD card info from Hekate:
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
Hmm... Aside from attempting to reformat the Micro SD card completely from scratch through cmd.exe, I really don't know. I'm not sure why Hekate would read the card correctly, but TWRP would show 0MB. Can you try to thoroughly write out the steps you took to completely wipe the memory card? There obviously has to be one step that isn't correct, otherwise it should've worked. Also, I believe I read that there are multiple ways to correctly and entirely wipe the memory cards in addition to the cmd.exe. However, I'm still going to recommend the command prompt method.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] krampyl:
I tried formatting with cmd(took a while) but it didn't help. I compared one of the not working cards to a working one in Ubuntu and they look identical, the same partitions and same files. Here's the error log from TWRP

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] krampyl:
Thanks for the help I appreciate it, I checked the hashes and they're all fine(and I tried installing all four, yawn lol), I tried etcher in win 10 and Ubuntu and reinstalling them just in case. I've installed LineageOS successfully a few times on other cards but they were slow and/or small.

I checked the file manager and there are a heap of folders(24) and files(49) but in backup it says the backup would be 0mb, do you think the files/folders I can see would just be from TWRP?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Count_NOOBula:
This is very counterintuitive. I expected the backup to show 0mb on SD card and internal storage but I did not expect you'd find all these folders in twrp's file manager. All the folders you're seeing are folders from the .IMG Etcher burned. Of course it is possible some core files or directories are missing from these folders preventing Android from booting. To my knowledge, TWRP only makes one directory in internal storage (i.e what your pic is showing) "/TWRP/backups" and the actual TWRP recovery files are installed deeper in the file system (i.e, they are NOT shown in your screenshot). This unexpected evidence suggests that Etcher DID burn the IMG properly, otherwise TWRP's file manager - which is trying to read the nonfat32 android partition - would show you zero folders. Recall that TWRP is NOT needed for Android to boot, just as Hekate is not needed for HorizonOS to boot. My final guess, since your hashes checked out AND you were able to successfully boot Lineage on weaker cards, is that for some reason, Etcher isn't burning ALL the Android bootloader. I'd even go as far as to say it isn't burning ANY bootloader file to your card cuz if it did, you'd at least see an endlessly looping Lineage logo on this u3 card.

The fact that your other cards work with the Lineage IMG, suggests these specific cards may not be compatible with THIS Lineage build, kinda like some android phones advertise they only "support UP TO X GB sdcards". I say " kinda" cuz in thid case we KNOW the NX sd card slot is capable of "supporting" your huge u3 card, otherwise neither HorizonOS nor Hekate would recognize it. So I'm assuming better support for huge u3 cards WILL come as this android build improves. Recall that this img is just beta1; it's possible other betas will add support for your huge u3 cards. At least we know your card is perfectly fine and so is the image and Etcher. Etcher just isn't writing everything to the Android partition of THESE cards.

I'd try to find someone whose used Android on these two specific u3 cards. I do remember seeing a thread (likely on GBAtemp) where people were sharing the names and classes of the cards they successfully used with this beta1 switchroot build. I'll edit this post and share the link here if I can find it. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. You've obviously done a lot of work on this and it must be frustrating knowing others aren't having an issue you're having. Hang in there. Try different stores for your cards if you can afford it.

I have two "Sandisk Extreme Pro" TF cards (CLASS10 U3 A2 128G). When I connect my device directly to the "Sandisk Extreme Pro" TF card, I can't successfully enter the Android system. But I can enter the recovery mode. At first I thought it was a problem with my tf card, so I tried another one of the same model, and it was the same problem. I even disassemble my device and replaced it with a brand new TF card slot . but still did not solve the problem.At this point, in recovery mode, I can't mount any partitions, including sdcard, boot, system, and data.

But when I use a low level Kingston TF card and a low level SanDisk TF card (CLASS10 U1), it is working and booting Android System.

Later, I found out that when I used the tf card slot extension cable to access my U3 TF card, it worked fine, So I think this is the speed of TF is too high causing it to not load the partition properly, because the extension cable will lose more than 50% of the transmission speed. This is my card and the extension cord I used.

I hope someone can fix this.

(If I have a grammar problem, please forgive me because my native language is not English)

Anyone else having the problem that NVIDIA Games can't connect to the Server? I tried a couple different versions even the latest one (since error reports only say that they can't start games with it). I also tried using it with a US-VPN and a Germany-VPN because i'm not sure the service is available in my country (Austria).

All other Shield specific Apps work flawlessly, f.e. Portal installed via PlayStore.

The only other reason i can think of why it might not work is because i set my system language and locale to german.

Any Ideas? :confused:

Was anyone able to workaround the "time & date reset upon boot"problem? Is automatic internet time sync working for people?

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Unfortunately, you aren't the only one having this problem. Until very recently the solution was to install a slightly older version of the apk. But recently others are reporting that NVIDIA is blocking access on ALL versions of the apk. Some are speculating it's because NVIDIA wants people to buy their Shield TV that's why they're being this salty, even though people are willing to pay them for this service.

If you only used it to stream your games from your PC, use the FANTASTIC alternative "Moonlight" (NVIDIA GPUs only) or SteamLink instead. If NVIDIA doesn't want our money, we're happy to "Switch" to Google's Stadia for cloud streaming, which will definitely work on this Android build.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Phillyrider807:
As far as i know Google stadia requires you to own the game on their own servers right? It doesn't connect to steam like Geforce now does.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Count_NOOBula:
Correct. Even the "free" Stadia Base version will only stream games we buy from Google's store.

The reason I'm willing to move on from Steam is because Google has THOUSANDS of data centers worldwide, meaning not only would we get incredible resolution and framerate delivered reliably with minimal lag, but we can experience that fidelity almost anywhere in the world (as long as we're close to their data centers). Even if we use an expensive pc or next gen console, things will lag the farther we are from our home. We could never match that performance of Google's data centers, if we streamed from our home ps5 or xbox2. Having a data center NEAR you is Stadia's biggest selling point for me. NVIDIA could only wish it had that many data centers as Google. I'm not interested upgrading my PC hardware regularly if Stadia can do it for me for just 10-15 bucks a month.

I have a feeling Google will bring Stadia to the Switch, as they did with the YouTube app. This would solve Nintendo's biggest problem right now: over reliance on indies and ports due to weak specs that can't render contemporary console games. Even if they don't, we'll always have access to Stadia on LinegaeOS.
