Directstylus is not detected - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The tablet does not recognize if I insert or remove the stylus into the slot. Yesterday I updated to the latest Android version with the full Rome because mine is rooted. First I unknowingly installed the LTE version and then the correct wifi version.
Today me, this is noticed with the stylus.
Does somebody has any idea?
Thanks

I went into this problem when I was on earlier versions of the firmware. The solution was to factory reset the tablet and the functionality came back.

That would be the worst case.
If there is no simpler solution?

I tried Googling the issue before, but that was the only solution that came up for me. And I haven't seen alternative input to this issue.

No Phone Signal

For some unknown reason, my Fuze stopped picking up phone signal the other day. The little No Phone Service icon is in the top taskbar.
The only thing that I had changed recently was installed Opera 9.7 over 9.5 (shouldn't matter).
It still gets data. I installed the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, so it is definitely my Fuze. I tried a soft reset. I tried removing my battery. I tried doing another Connection Setup. I reflashed the radio. All not effective.
All that I can think of now is to do a hard reset (and why not flash a new ROM!).
Anyone else have this problem and any solutions?
Thanks.

ANY LUCK??
Yep! Same problem, sorta. I created a thread on my issue too. I'm going to try to return mine today for a new one. Mine is only a month old. They better not try to push a refurb on me.

I ended up doing a hard reset and flashing a new ROM (EnergyROM 3.0). Problems solved. Never figured out problem, but it was clearly a software issue.
I also tried the EnergyROM 3.0.......it was the last ROM I had on here before I flashed it back to stock. My issue is a little different though. Mine will have signal for varying amounts of time, then I can't access internet, can't place/receive calls. Though my status icons show I'm connected 3G. I reboot phone then status icons show no connectivity at all...........if I lay the phone down for a bit and come back to it, I may or may not have service again. Very frustrating........

[Q] Screen After Mango Update

Hi All
I updated to the new Mango last Friday. All was well initially but after a few hours I noticed the screen colours were all wrong with distortion and random pixelation.
I have tried several reboots and removing the battery. Sometimes from wakeup it appears ok until I open the keyboard out.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Did you find a work around?
The speed and functionality of the new update is fantastic. I would prefer a fix than a rollback but in its current state it just looks horrible.
Regards,
Steve.
hmmmm.... only what i can suggest is hard reset.... if not helps take phone to service, maybe is hardware malfunction....
no problems so far 24 hours after mango upgrade
Hey, I'm sorry you are having this problem, it must be annoying and troublesome. I have been using my Arrive full-blast since I upgraded it to Mango yesterday (forced it) and have not experienced any problems, and certainly nothing like you describe has every happened on my device.
However, having worked on countless laptops, notebooks, netbooks, etc. that exhibit your symptoms, it would seem to me to be a hardware problem with near certainty- possibly a cable or connector has worked itself loose. Good luck, and let us know what happens!
Factory reset unsuccessful
Hi
Thanks for your replies...
I am afraid it is looking very much like a hardware issue. I tried a factory reset. I tried a restore. I tried reapplying the update - all to no avail.
Thinking back on it, though, I first noticed it when opening the keyboard after updating to Mango. I assumed that it was to do with the update but it was most likely coincidence. The issue has gradually got worse no matter what I do. Frustrating after hanging out for Mango for so long!
Regards
Steve.

DEAD wifi chip (DOA) on K1?

I literally bought this less than 2hrs ago and the first thing that happened was no wifi showing or it working for that matter. Did a factory reset but to no avail. BT/tethering works at least so I could download some stuff. But other than that no other issues whatsoever. No updates avail either...
Now, whenever I press wifi it hangs and settings goes black and hangs. Kinda hard to log when it's not even working.. I've thought about rooting and going CM but hey, might as well just return it for a new one tomorrow.
Either my file system is corrupt, i.e file/driver corruption or the wifi chip is borked, though BT works which leaves me pondering.
PS: the stylus is awesome!
"PS: the stylus is awesome!"
The "new" model k1 cames without stylus.
You don't say?! And the moon really is made of cheese? Doesn't leave the fact that I bought the stylus separetly or not but I guess that doesn't exist in your world where sheep roam.
before you root it try doing a hard reset and see if wifi works. Could be a corrupt file it happens. I always hard reset a new device force of habit from my Windows Mobile days.

Just return it. No reason not to have one that works out of the box. It likely isn't something that would be easy to deal with.
I got my K1 back today all working. According to the guy on webhallen (where I bought it) it had a corrupt FW and needed to be reflashed, so I'm glad the RMA was solved in less than 48h!
Now I just wish I had these files as well since I hear K1 differs a bit compared to 1st gen.
Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Only difference seems to be the stylus. Doesn't have the spot to hold it or sensor to tell if it was removed. Other than that it looks like it's just cosmetic differences.

Wifi issues and Q about flashing stock ROM

Hi, I bought a used Verizon Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905V and when I got it, noticed that the wifi is very flaky. Initially, it connected to my router fine but took 9 hours to load 120 apps when I signed in to Play using my normal Google account. So I did a factory reset, and then it wouldn't see my router at all. Restart router, factory reset device, no dice.
In the notification shade, wifi icon is always green as if it's on, but when I go into settings, the toggle is off. When I slide it to on, it turns gray and after a minute or so goes back to off. Multiple hard resets, still the same issue. Occasionally, it will "see" the routers, but this only lasts for a few seconds and then they are gone.
So I decided to flash the firmware. I did not complete another factory restore before I embarked on this, but had only just gone through the initial language screens and signed in on the tablet with a brand new Gmail account that had nothing on it. So I downloaded official 5.1.1 ROM from Sammobile, installed device drivers, installed Odin, (followed some great instructions found on XDA, thanks), got the tablet into download mode, connected to laptop and Odin on my laptop showed connection was live and it began to do it's thing. So I left it alone for 30 minutes and when I came back, Odin read "all done!" (or something similar) highlighted in green , and the tablet had restarted, so I assumed all is good.
However, I expected that the flash process would have wiped the setup I had begun on the tablet, but it did not. And the wifi issue still exists. Looks to me like nothing has changed. So two questions for you:
1) Does this mean that the flash did not happen correctly?
2) Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this wifi issue? (LTE works fine but I don't want to eat up all that expensive data.)
Thanks for any help!
Wifi circuit has many components on mainboard and I believe it's beyond abilities of most users even professionals as you cannot find components and schematic to fix them.
Your best source is looking for this tablet with a broken LCD like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172145691764?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...069075?hash=item1a15927393:g:D8MAAOSwbYZXZKDb
If you don't have the need to LTE connection, Note Pro wifi mainboard SM-P900 also fit but you need rear camera for SM-P900 as rear camera of LTE won't work in Wif mainboard.
Any LTE Note Pro 12.2 like P907T( Tmobile) P907A ( AT&T ) mainboard will fit to P905V as they are exactly the same mainboard, except firmware, bootloader and software loaded into it.
I swapped a SM-P907A mainboard to a SM-P905V tablet, it works as an AT&T tablet because the software is for AT&T.
I purchased a verizon note pro 12.2 SM-P905V refurbished from groupon last October. For the last few months the wifi on the tablet has been very flaky. I have a number of devices and only this one frequently drops connection. I never upgraded from kitkat I and was hoping that this issue was software related. Seeing that moransw is experiencing the same problem with this same model but is trying to get back to sock kitkat gives me concern that a software update will not resolve the problem. The other problem I've been having lately is that the device no longer recognizes the stock charger, and will now only charge painfully slow. I've tried a different charge cable from a samsung s6 to no avail. Is the SM-P905V a lemon?
You should use this one to test your charger and usb cable
http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=u....Xusb+voltage+current&sqp=usb+voltage+current
If you're using correct cable and charger, current should be 1.7 A and voltage should be 5.3 V
Test with known working cable and charger, if nothing is different you should consider to buy new usb flex charging port, around $10.
These basic steps you should do first as nobody can give exactly an answer with many unknowns. It happens to many used tablets, not just this model.
These basic troubleshootings are easy done for simple problem of bad cable, charger or USB port
Try them first then post your results if you need more help for further steps

1) I am using stock kitkat rooted and I was experiencing the same issue
2) I found this thread regarding our tablet that seems to suggest a bug with wifi if you are using a Bluetooth device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/help/wifi-disconnects-bluetooth-device-t2851406
I was streaming audio through bluetooth to my home surround system, I disabled the bluetooth radio and I haven't had an issue with wifi since. I now use chromcast to stream audio through my surround sound.

random freezing and rebooting

i just bought a used XT1955-5 in excellent condition but it has been freezing and rebooting. 0 apps installed, tried different sim card, factory reset, upgraded to latest android version available but no luck on fixing the problem. i guess it just needs to be returned. i googled a bit and have seen some people with this problem. just wondered if this is common for this phone. anyone else has had this happen before? maybe i should just get a brand new one. is Motorola good about their warranty?
Probably water or fall damage, I'd return it if flashing full stock firmware doesn't fix it.
