Nvidia Shield Gaming Tablet

[osmond19]

Just received my replacement tab this afternoon. Hope no issues this time.

How's it? Is your replacement send via UPS i-parcel? This courier is slow and my real time update of location...

Yes. Sent by Iparcel this time but delivered by speed post. The tracking update is slow. Still shows its at Surrey. So far both items sent by Amazon UK arrived on time or earlier.

It costs about $44++ using registered mail. I wasn't sure which ones to paste and which one not to, so I pasted all except the one they mention to put inside the box, all over outside the box.

I'm not sure if it's the correct way and the Singpost person wasn't sure too and told me to check what's in the intructions.

Hi hi... Sorry just want to check if that is Speedpost? SGD44 and Amazon will fully reimburse?
I have something else (pair of shoes) i wanted to exchange, but they said they only willing to pay up to SGD20.
Guess maybe different item different rates..

Hi, is there a difference between Singapost and Speedpost? All i know is i go to the post office and tell them i want to send the parcel to UK using registered mail with tracking. Yes, they reimbursed the entire amount but in pounds according to their exchange rate.

Maybe they give different amount for exchange if you change your mind compared to replacement for a faulty item. They didn't mention any limit though I picked whichever is cheapest as it's my first time sending something back and I wasn't so sure that they will reimburse the entire amount.

I checked online with others such as UPS/Fedex/DHL etc and the cost was over a hundred and I felt that it was too expensive.

I have been using the wifi version for 3 months, so far so good. no cracks on edges.

Lollipop works fine.

Emulators are fantastic (completed PSX Castlevania SOTN all over again and working through NDS fire emblem)

Downloaded hearthstone yesterday, super smooth.

Battery life is pretty bad, but i use it for gaming. General use is smooth. Battery drain overnight is about 5-10%, pretty acceptable.

I also use it to stream football when i'm overseas to a big tv, so my friends all love it to.

Pretty much the best tablet i have. Only complain i have that is that the screen is below average (in light of all the retina and better displays in the market).

Some side points:

- there's no international warranty. I had to speak with NVIDIA because of an earlier OTA update, they said RMA has to happen within the US (i bought from Amazon US). If there's a crack edge, then that's an exception.
- u can download the full firmware as a back up if u sign up as a Nvidia developer (it's free) if u want to tinker with the firmware.

When I turn on the lte uk shield, it's start to download 1.2.1 software. Any issue if choose not to install?

I did this update, an the next update following it is the Lollipop update. Using Lollipop now. No issue at the moment. Haven't tried inserting a sim card yet though.

Do you mean the seams on each of the 4 corners ?
That was supposedly introduced to help with the cracking.

Google "nvidia shield cracked corners seam"

That line means your tablet is good. If you dont have that line, it may be prone to cracking.

Thats what i learned from google.

I tried with TF2. Not bad. It mirrors exactly what it see's on my laptop with virtually no lag. Have to get used to playing with the controller though.

Dose the graphic card must comply before it allows the streaming?

Yes. It must be an Nvidia card. You can download Geforce Experience and it will show whether your card is compatible.
