Hey, could anyone upload a twrp backup from the new model so i can try to port it to my first gen shield tv?
shouldn't be so hard because serial console is available on the gen1
Really... Why?! Can't you just chill out till Monday when the Shield Slim is set to officially release with both Updates, and official Factory Recovery ROMs?
No "port" is required, 16gb is 16gb & 500gb is 500gb nothing is different as far as "gen 1" & "gen 2" software is concerned because there is no "gen 1 & 2" it's a simple refresh like Sony & Microsoft do for their gaming consoles

Thus why I run it the 'Slim' the onlything new 'bout it is the removed features... (i.e. the IR Port, MicroSD Slot, and WiFi Direct).
That said, the Shield (Slim) *cough* 2, will officially go on sale on Monday. At which time nVIDIA is rumored to release the Updates for both the new, and current line of Shield TVs. So just be patient, Monday is only another Three Days from now.
Just a friendly fyi: some pre-orders have already been shipped out, mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, and that was standard shipping speed
Also the nougat update at the moment is strictly for shield slim

ok, but today nvidia is rolling out 5.0 firmare (Nougat 7) to old Shield with all new features...
No porting is needed.

Apparently its gonna be a week or so which doesn't make sense seeing as its the same firmware right?
Who knows, a twrp dump from gen 2 would still bei nice
Well in all fairness Today was MLK Day in the US, so outside of Gas Station Attendance, and WalMart Employees most People have the Day off.
Yeah was just reading a bit more on this and not sure if it will work with 16gb model as the new update for 16gb (2017) model, doesn't have micro SD, IR port and other functions.
That doesn't matter, the software would be the same

I thought about posing this question in the Q&A section but since it is an accessory I thought I’d list it here. Has anyone heard of a planned release date for the Allshare Cast dongle? I saw Amazon is taking orders at $100 saying it “usually ships within 1-2 months” but that’s not exactly precise.

Did you ever find out your answer? I need to buy on of these asap. I saw it on amazon too and it says 1-3 months now. Are they not available in the USA yet? Also I called the Official Samsung Accessories department today and the guy was very helpful, but had NEVER heard of this device. Seriously, I sent him a few links of the device on Amazon and the Review of the device off Engadget. He called me back to let me know, no one there had ever heard of it either.....Weird!
It's available in Poland
From all I've heard it should be last week of August in UK, and I just don't get why we get the high end phones released and announced first over here because we are one of the biggest markets, but Samsung always give us the accessories last and not bother with any firm release dates, I mean a lot of people are already pissed off with lack of Mass storage mode and External App moving so you'd think they'd have enough sense to get the accessories out as quick as possible to divert attention away from everything else they messed up.

Yeah I know what you mean... I mean stupid HTC has there Media Link out already. It does practically the same thing, but from what I have seen, it isnt quite as good. I wonder if it is even compatible with with other android devices. I want the Allshare Dongle because as a teacher I want to use its presentation mode for power point.
Hey guys, one more thing, I also Have a Nexus 7, you think I could install Allshare on the Tab an use the dongle with the tab as well? That would be ideal!
Allshare funcion uses wireless lan (router) to stream only videos, photos and music.
Allshare cast dongle uses Wi-Fi Direct technology to create mirror of the phone on the TV screen (you can also play games). You don't have to be in the area with wi-fi network.
Allshare cast dongle only works with Galaxy S3.

Here in sweden we have had it for about 2weeks now and my two cents in the matter is,,,,as of now the dongle doesn't work very well ,,
No 1080p , problems with connection, picture in picture (popup play) doesn't work,
Overall iam kind of disappointed
Hopefully a fw upgrade will correct some or all of the problems

I looked for thew playpad pro on Amazon and noticed there's another version called "PlayPad Pro for Amazon Fire TV"
Generic "for android/bluetooth" version
http://www.amazon.com/Playpad-Android-Bluetooth-PC-Mac-Linux/dp/B0092ZEINO/ref=pd_sim_vg_1
Amazon fire tv version
http://www.amazon.com/PlayPad-Pro-Amazon-Fire-TV/dp/B00J9P3KBS/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
Does anyone think there's any difference or is Nyko just trying to capitalize on having a half priced controller for the fire tv and optimizing search results for those who are looking for an alternative?
I already ordered one, but it doesn't ship until the 25th.
There is a lot more marketing info (pictures etc) on the page for the FireTV version.

From the reviews on amazon if you search for Fire Tv on the old version of the playpad pro, it works just fine.
if you go to the page for the old one, it says right away that there's a newer model.
they both have the same price, I don't think anyone is capitalizing on anything.
the one I ordered was the newer "firetv" one. because reasons.
but if the old one works, that's good too.
I am more than a little curious why there needs to be 2 versions. I wouldn't mind if someone bought both, cracked them open and compared the chips/pcb.
but as long as it works it's not going to bug me all that much...

If you ordered when it said shipping on the 18 and paid for overnight, contact Amazon and they will refund the shipping.
When I ordered it, it said not shipping until the 25th. I selected normal 2 day delivery since I'm not in a big hurry

I ordered one when it said the 18th, expected delivery is the 23rd with Prime. That's one business day extra by my calculation but I was more concerned that ALL stock was delayed a week. The rep I talked to said mine was confirmed out of a first set so they must have sold out of the first batch and are getting more a week later. Fun.

LOL, I ordered when it said the 18th as well. When I got the e-mail saying they had been delayed, I was told by a CSR that nobody was getting any shipped by the 18th and that they didn't know for sure when they will ship and the 25th is a "we hope by" date. My Arrival date was supposed to be the 22nd.

Color me totally unsurprised at conflicting information from Amazon . Well at least they will typically take care of disgruntled folks fairly well in my experience. I'll likely just cancel, move on and get a wireless dongle for my XBox controllers and go wireless that way if these become vapor.

Since a few people are reporting the older version works fine I ordered a refurbished one for a backup, it should be here Monday. If the new one doesn't ship by Wednesday I'll cancel if the refurb works. It must be a jinxed week for shipping because Walmart just screwed up another order.
Amazon
The Nyko representative, responding to reviews on Amazon, is claiming the FireTV version has a firmware update. So, it sounds like the same controller with a different firmware. If the firmware is available, like the original PlayPad Pro for Android, you could upgrade an existing controller.

Is it the Playpad pro 100 firmware from 3/28 ?
I returned my PlayPad Pro to Amazon, bit the bullet and bought the genuine FTV controller. PlayPad Pro just behaved wonky.

Did you update your controller's firmware? I found that the re-pairing is an issue with the older firmware. However, once you update the firmware you may encounter lag in RetroArch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58533153&postcount=11
See my post for more info. I didn't mention my AFTV in that post, but I have paired the updated controller with my AFTV and it is working well. I haven't tried RetroArch on the AFTV, yet, though.
Engadget just posted this:
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/28/huawei-watch-pricing-and-date/
and the Huawei watch is now listed on Amazon:

Must admit I'm veering toward this now rather than the Moto 360 2, as it seems to still have the 'flat tire' look.

Looks like amazon got a little trigger happy with their listing, was probably supposed to wait till later this week when they officially announce it.
Amazon however assured me it was still on schedule to be delivered by 9/4 so look for the page to go back up soon!
I'd have personally hung on for the reviews, that 300mAh battery concerns me.

Someone did an AMA on reddit that was testing one and in 24 hours from a full charge it was still at 33% when he had to return it. That was enough for me considering most of the current gen watches can barely go 12 hours.

Orders placed last week still show a delivery of 9/4, the new listings that went up today after the announcement are showing a different preorder date of 9/17 instead of the previous 9/2 the previous listing showed. This here is showing all the places you can buy at the moment (seems to be getting updated frequently)
I just ordered it from Amazon as well, $349. I went with this over the Moto 360 2 mainly because of the flat tire thing. I hated it on the Moto 360 1 and thought for sure they would remove that for the new one. With prime shipping I get it on the 18th....
All buying options currently available for US
I hope it does ship this time around. I think the release date on this watch has changed several times which usually isn't a good thing...

Where did you buy the 256GB version?? US?
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have it !
I came from ZF2 to this. Purchased from Taiwanese EBay seller. Deluxe ZS570KL ,820, 64GB
Loving it. Disabled all the bloat until root is provided. This things so fast you don't even know its there anway. I'm a huge fan of vanilla, so Installed Google Launcher. Perfection.
CONS so far:
- Sim cover is loose fitting. This seems to be widespread - im tempted to put a pinhead blob of bluetack in there, as its the door, not the tray. Such a small issue.
- Its so well made its slippery, similar to the HTC10. Case is on the way so wont be an issue after that
- Understandably, Battery life is a < day. I have so many chargers around, its not an issue for me.
PROS so Far:
- Fast
- Screen is gorgeous.
- Photo quality is amazing.
- It has not spontaneously exploded in my pocket in close proximity to my balls
- Overall, as a package, I'm super happy. Its a flagship killer.
My one missing feature would be wireless charging.... but there's so much inside this small package already, that I understand why its not.
Quite happy to help with any root/bootloader/rom projects when someone something gets underway in the forums.
Cheers, Mike
I've got a Snapdragon 821, 6gb ram, 256gb rom version as well.

Seller on ebay... also got the tempered glass protector and the flip case...
The flip case is stuck on with the sticky stuff they have on phone holders... It is an ASUS case...
Don't have a problem with the sim cover, in really tight - 6gb 256gb Snapdragon 821 version..
Case is great, it sticks on well and no issues with it as yet.
Very quick, no real problems there.
Amazon app store keeps force closing - old version of Amazon appstore. Downloaded new one and everything works fine...
Otherwise no problems, though funnily enough I haven't actually called anyone yet...
64GB/6GB/820 Was delivered this morning. Took only a day and half to get to me!!! Was very impressed! ASUS nailed it. Beautiful phone! Even more beautiful in person. I was extremely impressed. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A ROOT/CUSTOM ROM on this thing!
@ GodKingKnight: Where did you buy ?
I did not receive mine....same as with the ZTE...no luck with those new phones.

I ordered the 4K stick with TV remote control as a backup device to my 2nd gen Sloan box (still scared to try and root it by opening the actual box up, hell to the no. If anyone could maybe simplify or point me to a guide other than the one posted by the root OP thread, cuz that still confused me on how to do this without bricking /breaking it I’d appreciate it), but anyway, I noticed after all those Amazon prime deal sales they went out of stock until February 17th. So although it’s purchased and ordered it won’t be here for a few more weeks which makes me worried about which firmware it’ll come in as I’m guessing these new 4K sticks are being freshly made as we speak from the factory and will come with the latest firmware, right? Otherwise how else will they bring more devices to re-stock, I doubt they have older made ones layout around somewhere that they’re shipping in? Lol
I’m so pissed I didn’t order when they had prime deal as these must’ve been sitting in the warehouse for awhile on a lower and probably root-able firmware.
Also if anyone is interested in getting one I believe only the 4K stick at $49.99 will auto apply a $20 discount making it $39.99, works as of 2/10/21

Nope, I doubt that the stick is vulnerable, amaz. fixed it months ago.
Best is if you return that stick and then go for a vulnerable used/second hand one...
