I bought a tf300t and docking station. I'm a relative newb to the android platform and I'm having some strange issues with my unit? It's not rooted as well. When I plug my keyboard into the tablet it starts acting all buggy. like the wallpaper background menu pops up then my browser pops up then my settings menu pops up it goes all crazy and starts starting up apps. I have a wireless ps3 controller that I've been trying to use with it not sure if that is contributing to my issues? If I'm playing gta 3 or shadowgun that have official controller support do I need to run the ps3 pairing software? Anyone else reporting problems like this?
I would try uninstalling both games, and reinstalling them making sure you get clean downloads by using a stable wifi connection. Also, the GTA developers recommend you coldboot the tablet before playing these memory intensive games. Coldbooting is just holding down the [volume down key] while powering on the device. Give that a shot. Goodluck
Hi guys! I have a small question about console mode And I cant find info about it...
Is possible, on console mode, to use the shield controller without an external control?
Since my shield arrive in 2 weeks, I want to have all my necesary gadgets buyed before it arrives
Thx for the info, and sory for the poor english!

You can use the shield controller if you want. Then whole point of console mode is to make the shield a console
that can connect controllers via bluetooth and play games at 1080p with 60fps. the only thing you can use
in console mode is the screen because it shuts off.
Great, thx for the info, and yes, the bluethoot controller will be great, but, since, most hdmi cables on argentina are 2mts and up, you can always use the shield with the cable And on a 23 inch pc display, the view distance it's not a problem
I tested in console mode over the weekend:
The shield's screen goes dark and audio turns off, but the controls and the touchscreen still work. Beach Buggy Blitz, for example, needs you to tap the touchscreen in places so, you're still able to play 'em in console mode.

Out of curiosity - COMPLETELY dark or is the backlight still on?
Also - if you have the HDMI cable connected, does the bootloader show on the TV or on the screen?
(If you're wondering why I'm asking - see my "white screen of death" post. It's now a black screen - backlight comes on but nothing displays. Fastboot mode works, including "fastboot boot" of CWM and ADBing in to pull a kernel dmesg.)

It doesn't look like the backlight is on, but the touchscreen is definitely working. Really weird to blind-tap somewhere on the screen

The bootsplash is definitely showing on the TV: I did not unlock my bootloader, however, so I haven't tested if something like recovery is showing on HDMI and/or the built-in screen.
I noticed that the newer firmware doesn't have the barely perceptible jump when the bootloader hands off to the bootsplash: in older firmwares, you could see that the screen flickered black, but I think NVIDIA decided to polish that one out. Either the flash is so short that you can't see it, or they keep the framebuffer stable during the handoff.
Hmm, I'm starting to think I have a display hardware failure then.
The device has a unlocked bootloader or the warranty voided? If yes, try to formar EVERY partition with fastboot and flash again every single image from the PC, I have a similar issue with a nexus 7 after an update, and I fix it this way, even a full factory reset from bootloader dont solve it, maybe a system or kernel broken part, I don't know, but this fixed it....

Did that issue include:
1) No display when in the bootloader?
2) No display when in a recovery image that used to have working display?
Nope :S Looks like you have a broken screen, or it have unpluged itself from the mobo...
Did anyone test a few BT controllers with the Shield? The official websites only lists a Nyko and some Moga controllers, but I would prefer to use my 360, PS3/4 or Wii U controller, because I already have them here.
I have a question.
I have a Philips full hd tv.
The console mode is not near 1080p seems to be at a lower resolution, looks like ****
I have all updates to date.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
So I did the most recent firmware update on the controller, and now it seems that my right trigger button behaves erratically and I can no longer shut the controller down by holding the logo for six seconds. I didn't see any other threads about this issue, so is it just mine? Is there a way to factory reset to older firmware or will any resets just reset the current firmware?
ManualG (on GeForce forums):
"This is by design. The SHIELD Wireless controller will now turn off by itself after 10 minutes or when the SHIELD device goes to sleep/wifi is powered off. "
Source.
Thanks for addressing that part. Seems like a waste of power, to me.
I'll post about the right trigger wonkiness there, since they seem responsive and nobody here has said anything about it.
Thanks again!
hey guys i was hoping a little help with the game mapper, my 2 problems are when i try to set the right stick to invert it stops working, it doesnt close or anything just the right stick stops responding completely. my second problem is the deadzones with a ps3 controller, there isnt any at all so it is constantly picking screen touches which is annoying lol so is there a way to fix these problems with having to root my tablet?
I tried using my DualShock 4 with my Kindle Fire HD 10 2017 and it either responds with a lot of lag or not at all.
Is there a way to remedy this? Gaming is impossible this way.
I'm trying to connect my DS4 controller to my Amazon Fire HD 8 and it does not respond at all, the light just turns a solid white.
I have tried resetting it in the tiny hole in the back but the same thing happens, please help.
i basically do it like this: hold share and playstation button together until it blinks really fast. Then in bluetooth options on fire HD it should show up as "wireless controller". From then on out i only ever have to press the playstation button for it to pair.
Thats all i know

It connects to my amazon fire hd 8 but there is no response no buttons work, I tried connecting it to my phone and the light on the controller went solid blue, but then when I connect it to my amazon fire it's solid white with no response.
Please help :crying:
I am still having issues. Button presses are delayed or dont register at all. Using a DualShock 4.
Actually have a new Fire HD 10 now since the other one had display issues, but this still happens!
I sit right in front of it, but there are still issues.
Can someone help please?
EDIT: Tried an 8bitdo SNES30 gamepad and that works well. Why doesnt the Dualshock 4 work?

I wish I could help. I don't know if it's an Android lollipop limitation, but my 8bitdo will not automatically connect sometimes. On newer versions of Android, I can open Bluetooth settings and tap on the controller to connect. On Android 5 I've noticed you can't do that. If you tap on the controller it does nothing. The 8bitdo and fire Bluetooth have to be turned on at the same time to connect.
