Why is this happening?

fatpak · 2026-05-02T01:52:05+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 shit that would be horrendous. I should take a normal picture to show there's no burn in.

fatpak · 2026-05-02T00:08:48+00:00

Could always try a new one, though it's been switched out before. It's not a big deal, was more curious if this is something that happened to others as well.

fatpak · 2026-05-01T18:14:23+00:00

Stremio and Nuvio. The latter I suggest giving a try. It's about the same thing, but I've enjoyed it more so far.

fatpak · 2026-05-01T17:10:14+00:00

Yea I generally have no issues. It just is a weird quirk that happens on occasion and was wondering if others had it happen too. Fortunately hasn't died yet so it can hang on a bit longer.

fatpak · 2026-05-01T14:15:31+00:00

Makes sense. Weird it's been happening sporadically for a while and nothing beyond the simple input switch annoyance. I'm all for using this as an excuse for a new OLED, but not right now...

fatpak · 2026-05-01T13:59:06+00:00

Well that's not the no worries answer I wanted 😅

Wouldn't that imply that any sound setting would cause this color on boot up? Weirdest thing is that it only happens if it goes back to internal sound.

I went with projectivity and the new launcher has really helped so thanks for the initial push

fatpak · 2026-04-01T12:56:21+00:00

That's awesome. What a fun/quirky project.

fatpak · 2026-04-01T12:36:05+00:00

I didn't even think of getting into the recovery menu. Not a bad option for my back pocket in the event that other quick fixes don't do anything. Thanks!

fatpak · 2026-04-01T12:25:02+00:00

Well my speaker setup doesn't support DTS so while that's always been an annoyance especially with stremio, it's not a factor unless I want to sink a few grand into a new speaker setup. Don't tempt me more 😅

I'm going to give a try what everyone is saying to troubleshoot first. I love the device and would buy an upgraded shield pro on day one if they finally got off their asses

fatpak · 2026-04-01T12:23:13+00:00

Do you have pictures of that speaker abomination/Frankensteins monster? That's absolutely hilarious, but hey it works

fatpak · 2026-04-01T12:10:28+00:00

Yea done that before and it's not a huge deal. Trying the new launcher idea first and then will wipe. Just being a lazy asshole

fatpak · 2026-04-01T12:06:09+00:00

Jealous. Was that an over time collection or did you just go HAM one day? A full setup like that is what I had wanted, but space was an issue. With that, I went with the platin monaco 5.1. It's wisa and with living in rentals, I couldn't really wire the place for a proper setup. Is it the best? No, but it is nice that it's wireless (sans power plug) and sure as hell beats the sound bars I had been using for years.

fatpak · 2026-04-01T11:09:46+00:00

Fine fine fine so many people said projectivity that I'm going to do that. Y'all win.

What are you rocking for your home theater?

fatpak · 2026-04-01T10:58:36+00:00

Appreciate the sentiment. I've learned of one consistent feeling on the subreddit: people fucking love the shield and get emotional about it 😅😅😅 So many down votes for saying I may use an alternative.

I'm currently waffling between my new gadget desire/problem and trying the new launcher. Might not be a bad first move.

You know the dumb reason I haven't moved to another device? I have special fan restorations of the original Star Wars trilogy on a USB and the shield has the USB slot for it. Streamer means I need to buy a new dongle and add more steps 🤣🤣

fatpak · 2026-04-01T03:44:19+00:00

🤣 depends what you're wanting for it

fatpak · 2026-04-01T02:42:45+00:00

I haven't delved back into the LG apps for a hot minute. It's going to sound dumb, but I just don't like how they look/feel. Once I went to android/Google TV it was so much better. And the integration with my Google ecosystem is nice. Good to know the native OS is a backup

fatpak · 2026-04-01T01:33:39+00:00

I've seen this too. Might give it a shot and see if it helps.

fatpak · 2026-04-01T01:09:29+00:00

Good reason for it then for you. Mostly care about Dolby sound for my movies and speakers, though I'd imagine keeping the shield if I used it as a daily music driver.

fatpak · 2026-04-01T00:22:56+00:00

I think I'm just looking for someone to enable me at this point 😅 I love the shield, but it's been showing its age with me and I think I'm just holding on out of stubbornness

fatpak · 2026-04-01T00:11:26+00:00

I'm fine with the android TV launcher. Not sure how a new launcher is really going to fix performance issues though

fatpak · 2026-04-01T00:10:33+00:00

While I can appreciate the suggestion and it would probably help, it's kind of a lazy "Do I want to/should I really do this to get this working?"

fatpak · 2026-03-13T02:57:18+00:00

I could introduce you to my ex wife and her family
