I am coming from the Galaxy 10.1 Note and it has an excellent screen write ability. I tried using the lasso tool on the Shield Tablet but everytime it shows the lasso after it saves the screenshot, which looks horrible. Anyone know why? Or how to turn it off? I'm on Lollipop if it matters.
Thanks in advance
Wait for the next update as it should fix this bug (and the tinted capture).

I just purchased the larger stylus holder that was intended for the 5.3 Note. I tried to use it, but it would not work without first removing the original stylus from the unit. I would like to use the new one and keep my original in the unit in case of emergency.
Anyone able to do this?

Go into settings and find the settings for the pen and uncheck the power saving setting for the pen.
OK, i tried to check that option, still the tab still detects when i remove the pen, is this option really working? I'm on build N8000XWALG7, is this a good build? How do i know which country firmware to upgrade? I am from philippines. My baseband is N8000XXLGA

I found it and it works. I can use my new sylus with the original still tucked inside. BTW... I really like the stylus holder with the 5.3 stylus much better than the origanal. Handwriting is much better. I am not getting all the extra squiggles on my letters.

I think it will always detect if the pen is removed or not irregardless of that option being checked or not. But by turning off the battery saving feature you are able to use another pen while the original 10.1 pen stays docked.
Hmmm wierd coz i tried using my other note's stylus and its not working, or do i have to buy another stylus? Both devices doesn't work when pen is dock

As soon as I went to settings and removed the check from battery saving, my second pen began to work while the original was in the dock. At least I think that as what I did to get it to work.

Please tell me why is the hovering little dot doesn't appeare since I updated my note 10.1 "offical" by going to about device and software update and so on... and when I toggle on the airview in the s pen sittings.
P.S:all the airview thing are working like hovering in the mail app on one of the messages and all the other things.
I bought the device from U.A.E and update it in Iraq.
same question here. I haven't used the dot but for Some reasons l looked up into the settings and can't find it anymore. I am pretty sure it was there when I first got my note with 4.04 .
Has anyone else noticed this?

I connected my phone to an older monitor via slimport->hdmi->dvi. works great except the native resolution for the monitor is 1680x1050. so the image is scaled small on screen. I was able to change resolution via console "wm size" command so that it now fills the screen and changed the density so text is the appropriate size, but the notification bar, nav bar, and mouse pointer are huge taking up tons of real estate.
Wanted to know if anyone has a suggestion of an app that will make things fit better when i connect to the monitor and easily revert once I disconnect. I really like being able to use my phone as a mini computer that I can connect whenever I want.
Thanks in advance.

You can change the density of apps individually using xposed + "app settings" module. So you could lower the density further on systemui for example.

I bought the official SlimPort a couple months ago and it works great. As far as the picture fitting better, I use MX Player for all video. It has a ton of options for display size and other tweaks. Using a monitor is probably why you are having issues with display size. I have 1 newer HDTV and a 5 year old HDTV. I get 1080p with my SlimPort & MX Player. Does it have the same display issues on a TV?
NEXUS 5
Yeah works great on my TV but I have it connected to a monitor because I use it for homework and random emailing with a Bluetooth most and keyboard.
My ideal situation would be that when I connect it to the slimport it would automatically switch resolution and DPI to kind of a desktop mode.

Any other suggestions?

I agree, using the Nexus as a substitute for a computer like you describe is something I definitely would like to do too. Any advice regarding automatic switch of resolution and DPI would be greatly appreciated.
Still nothing. ?

Dpi system wide is controlled via the build prop so a reboot is required to apply it.
With root, i could easily write a Tasker task that will edit the build prop and reboot the device. Anything above that wouldn't be possible

Hi, was wondering if it's just me or this app doesn't work with nexus, tried setting individual settings for each screen but it's not working only shows that it needs to reload or setup. Any help appreciated or another way to get multiple wallpapers for each screen.
Thanks.

So i have the Shield Tablet and i also have a Nexus 5. I noticed the Shield Home Screen has 5 panels, regardless of if they are empty or not. On the Nexus 5 empty panels are automatically removed when they have no icons/widgets. This doesnt seem to happen on the Shield Tablet however. I have the main home screen full, and 1 screen to the left and 1 screen to the right with some content but not full (3 panels). I still have the 4th and fifth panels even though they are empty. Id really like to remove these as they are not in use.
Has any one figured out how to remove the panels?
I should mention i am NOT interested in using another launcher. Thanks

There isn't any way to do this using the stock Android launcher. The Nexus devices use the Google Now Launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
EDIT: I just tried out the Google Now launcher on the Shield Tablet and it works well.
Does using the now launcher break any of the nvidia stuff?
Also how'd you install it?
Thanks

Sorry part of that was dumb on my part. Guessing you installed from play store. Does it remove stylus integration or controller integration?
Thanks

It does not break any of the NVidia stuff. They were just using the stock launcher without anything modified to begin with. The stylus stuff all still works (I don't have a controller to test but it should still work as well). I first tried it out with an APK from AndroidPolice but it was also just updated today by Google to work with any device running 4.1+ and can be installed via the Play Store. If it's a staged rollout you may just not be able to see the install button yet.
Yea I tried finding it yesterday and it wasn't in the store. If you pull down the settings from the top right so you still see the square for the stylus and controller in with other settings (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc)?
I'll install it when I get home to check it out. Thanks

Yup. All of the options are still there. The only difference to the top and bottom bar is that you get the gradient/transparent background.
Sweet got it. Seems to be working well
