Shield (2nd gen) Remote Issues

by fervidfly

Been having remote issues since getting this, the new remote with replacement batteries even after update would constantly freeze then respond with a flurry of activity since I had been mashing buttons to try to get it to respond. Ended up contacting Nvidia and sent a new one, worked for a little better than before but still laggy but then unpaired itself and will not re pair.

Bought one of the old recharge versions and its worked better but still goes through hours where will not respond.

any help? alternative remotes?

don't use the controller as too big and complicated to act as a remote.

The remote goes to sleep after not being used for a bit so when you pick it again you need to move it around to "wake it up" at which point you can use normally.

If you just start pressing buttons it won't do anything until it wakes up, at which point it will do all actions you just pressed.

  1. Stop mashing buttons

  2. Did you update firmware on these remotes? Is your shield on the latest software?
