I believe so. That's an NVIDIA add-on.

AAAAAAAAh!

I did not know that! I thought it was a lollipop feature. Thanks!

Nope. The shield is pretty close to stock Android, but they added a few treasures in there.

Holy crap! That was a close one.

I was reading on my tablet last night & got a notification on my phone. Set the tablet beside me on the bed & grabbed my phone to respond to a message on my phone. When I went to put the phone back on the nightstand, the tablet flew off the bed. Sounded like it hit the nightstand.

It was dark, but I managed to feel for the tablet on the floor & pick it up, but it felt weird. It felt like a phone with a removable back. My finger was INSIDE the tablet.

I took it to the bathroom to look at it in the light since the wife was already sleeping & I didn't want to disturb her.

The back came almost halfway off. On the back panel, there are plastic tabs that snap in to the case. I was able to snap it back together, but it was scary. I was so worried about fixing it that I didn't think to take a picture. Had a little trouble along the top of the tablet, but I ended up being able to snap it together. I tried lightly to get my fingernail in there after & see how easy it'd be to pull the back off. Not very easy when you're trying.

Moral of the story, be careful with this tablet &/or get a case that covers the back & goes up onto the sides.

I upgraded to Marshmallow and I have a question.
Where do you go to change quality settings when you
want to video a game you're playing.

Thanks

Does this tablet have a removable battery?
I'm thinking no.

I'd have to play around with it. I haven't done any of that at all yet. There has to be an app running that functionality.

I'm thinking no.

By the looks of what I saw when mine was open, definitely not. It wasn't like I was just looking at a battery. There were wires and circuitry that, on something like a phone would be under plastic/etc. if it had a removable battery.

Ok, i found where you change the quality of game recordings.
Bring the drop-down menu down. Hit "Share"
Far right, above screen shot is the settings icon.
Hit it and You'll see -Quality- on the left. You have Low, Medium, High and Ultra. Ultra says ===>>>> Not available for broadcast. I have it set to Ultra and am able to upload to YouTube.

Takes longer to upload though.

Here is the "Ultra" recording of a battle I had in
World Of Tanks -BLITZ-

 

[Mustang02]

That's world of tanks???? Ugh....

It's the mobile version played on phones and tablets.

Say, My shield has a notice of a software update. Showed up weeks ago but I've been putting it off. Anyone know what it is?

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Did you ever install the Marshmallow update, haha! If you two the notification, it should actually give you a bit of a change log before you install.

Yea it's a bug fix update or something. Havn't had any "bugs" that
I know of so I leave it untouched.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Not me. I love new software so much, I'm running the Android N beta on my phone. Haha
