    SD Card Problem

    Hey, everyone! So, I've been using my Nvidia Shield tablet for about 6 months now. I got a new SD card when I started using the tablet. I formatted it to my tablet and have been using it to store my apps, photos, videos, downloaded files etc. ever since. Well, for the past month or so I've been...

    Found a solution for my shield tablet slow down

    Like a lot of people with the Shield Tablet, mine was getting very laggy and slow. It was at it's worse when it had been sitting idle for a while (and when not on a charger). Since the "doze" function in Marshmallow sucks, I suspected that the slow down was a result of the tablet not executing...

    Tablet won't boot up/ optimizing apps/ black screen/ endless reboots

    I woke up this morning and my nVidia Shield tablet is acting funny... It booted up to a screen saying "Android is Starting" "Optimizing App xxx of 141" and when finished, reboots, and repeats. I looked at a bunch of stuff online, and I found people having this problem in relation to Lollipop...

    Can I send texts to phones?

    Is there awway to text with someone on an iPhone from the Shield tablet? I tried looking around and all I can find is adware. Skype is not an option I had an account with them once what a total nightmare that was. I would prefer a free option as I'm using my own internet service that I already...

    Help SD card won't work

    I just bought a Shield running 5.0.1. I bought a generic 128gb micro SD card. The first time I put the card in it worked and I was able to move apps and copy stuff to it. I didn't reformat the card first. Later the card didn't show up, it did give option to unmount or erase but it showed as...

    Sim card question

    So I just ordered my Shield Tablet (coming from a 2012 N7....I'm not sure how to describe how excited I am), and I went for the larger capacity and SIM slot. My question is this: does anyone know of a plan out there that works month-to-month? My in-laws don't have WiFi at their place, which was...

    4G/LTE version without sim card

    Hello I'm looking at getting the sheild tablet and would like to go for the 32GB version, however this means it comes as the 4G/LTE variety and I have no intention of getting a sim card for it. Will it constantly want me to put one in it? Is there anything that might not work? I'm just...

    Help Wifi dropping while browsing Play Store?

    Has anyone else been having this issue with their tablet? Mines seems to drop wifi all the time only when browsing the Play Store. I'm sure it's a tablet only issue because my phone (Galaxy S5) doesn't drop wifi when browsing the Play Store. And my internet *is* working fine without dropping.

    Anyone else here getting the Shield Tablet this week?

    I got a Nexus 7 2013 last week after my 2012 model died. Then upon hearing about the Shield Tablet, I was immediately intrigued. As a gamer who also wants a tablet to do other things, this looks amazing. Blown away by its specs. So I returned the Nexus 7 and now am anxiously awaiting...
