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 was playing on my Shield last night and everything was working as should be. When I woke up, I started trying to play but noticed none of the controls were working... Only the "Back" and the "Home" buttons work... I have tried restoring the Shield, but that did not work (just made me lose all my apps...)

No, I left it off for a day or so and saw my uncle playing with the controller...
Same issue here.
This happens rarely for me whenever it happens I hold the shield button down until the shield powers off (I think it takes more than 10 seconds).
After booting usually controls are fine again.
If you're using the droidmote setup posted on these forums, make sure to switch from the droidmoteime setting.

Badass. I had the same problem but that fixed it for me.

Yeah, I had problems with the anolog trigger on asphalt 8 and the new modern combat 5 guns don't shoot fully auto for me when I hold the trigger down all the way, but just right before all the way they start firing fully auto, BTW Xbox one class graphics you should check it out, and help me with h some changing the controller binding so the bumper is to shoot instead
NVIDIA SHIELD Controller not working on PC after update or charging. first of all make sure SHIELD controller is unplugged or power off. To connect your TV with controller, use NVIDIA button on the SHIELD controller. Click Here to show 5 basic solution from my side. I hope it will fix your issue.
I've got a wireless Xbox 360 controller and dongle and USB OTG cable, and they all work fine on my Note 4, except that the green ring of lights flash incessantly. This is a known problem on Linux in general, and not just Android. Even when the controller is connected and recognized, the green ring of lights never stops flashing.
Has anyone ever found a fix yet? So far the only thing that came close was downloading an old apk of USB/BT Joystick Center (an abandoned app) - it stopped the lights from flashing, and made it so just the top left corner of the green light was solid on like it should be normally, but it also stopped the controller from working entirely.
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?
