Anyone have a spare games controller that they are not using? (Or a link to a cheaper online one!)

Mine is no longer charging, bought a new battery and still no good so no idea whats wrong, might have been dropped by one of the kids and broken a connection somewhere on the PCB.

Hi all! Any ideas on this issue? It's saying it's connected but it's actually not! This happened a few weeks ago but a hard reset of the broadband sorted it out but not this time! It won't connect to wifi of when I hotspot with my phone either! It's eir broadband! Any help greatly appreciated!

Have you tried setting a manual IP address instead of using DHCP or if you were using manual, switching to DHCP?

Afaik no

Have you tried a hard reboot of the Shield to see if that fixes it.

Maybe try disabling IPv6 on the eir router to see if that helps

Yeah, the factory reset did the trick.

i think that has somethin to do with date and time settings. Happens me if i plug mine out. Dont know why it happens. Did a bit of diggin on line and people were sayin if it happens turn on or off your automatic date and time, cant remember which but that fixes is it without hard reset. Think it happens actual android tvs

You need to change time and date settings to 'match network'

Ive a Xiaomi note 13 running on hyper OS and a new shield pro

My phone won't cast to the TV . It worked perfectly with the old shield

Has anyone any suggestions on a fix please?

Edit. Solved by uninstalling Chromecast built in in the play store and reinstalling.

Thats an odd one....

On a side note, Xiaomi still full of bloatware?

Had a lot of them,redmi etc etc going back yrs

Thanks

Seems to have been a known issue with a faulty update documented on Reddit. It's on the shield side rather than Xiaomi

is the rte player still working alright on the shield?

Flinty997

Must check my old one. Seems like there's been a lot of TVs (including mine) getting an updated player that has the "live" option. I don't really use my Shield for streaming very often.

Flinty997

Just checked downloaded the latest rte player on my Nvidia Shield Pro (2017) and it seems to be the latest version with the live option.

Irish Gunner

Yeah can't use latest rte player from play store on nvidia shield

Worse app ever... please just check BBC app and mirror that if rte can

what's the version number?

been using 2.0 on firestick for ages but over the past few weeks most programs don't work, nothing loads even the ads. 1 or 2 play fine though, the weather usually works.

usually hear bad experience with rte player but the android TV app has been pretty much flawless for a couple of years before now

moonboy52

Rarely use RTE Player as the experience in the past was far from stellar.

Reinstalled it due to previous posts mentioning Live support - Shield 2015

3.120.0 - 10th September

Tried Live TV on it and it worked for the 10 minutes i had it running

Flinty997

That's the version I have now 3.12 working on my Shield. Working just as well as the Android phone version. Ended up watching a movie on it. I had forgotten how annoying ads are. I'm not having any problems with it.

batistuta9

@moonboy52 @Flinty997 any of you able to copy the apk and share it?

Flinty997

Where is it on the shield

Flinty997

I found it using explorer but can't copy it anywhere. I assume because it's needs to be rooted maybe?

Truly an abysmal application.
