Shield 7.0.1 Update released

by chottomatteee

Update is released for 7.0.1. Installing as we speak. Guess they ironed out all the bugs.

I got it also. I signed up for the preview the day 7.0 was announced, so I'm assuming this is round two and not the general release.

Unrelated: as a dev, who pushes to production on a Sunday? Massive balls.

Biggest complaint, why are none of the available app channels "your subscriptions". YouTube app, Popular Right Now - UK & IWD (whatever that is). Nothing about my subscriptions. I've turned everything off except apps, and even then I want the all apps view, not one line horizontal scrolling.

Thus far, this update is tits.

From what I can see based on the forums, this is still a preview build for preview testers (and officially, supposed to be confidential).

Has anyone not in the preview group received the update?

Anyone have a VIZIO M60-C3 60-Inch 4K TV? Every time the Shield gets an OTA I get excited that this may be the build, finally, after 3 years, that fixes the problems with this TV. The Shield and this TV have issues where at times after waking from sleep the TV will flicker or have static lines all through the display. It happens probably one to two times per week. A reboot fixes it. At one point Nvidia did improve the problem by adding the ability to not use 60hz as the input frequency. I believe using the now recommended 59.xx hz has made it much, much better, but the problem still happens. Thanks.

Kudos NVIDIA for an excellent update. Glad I bought a GTX 1080 last year to support them.

Hey fellow Mi Box owners, remember when this shitty Chinese company Xiaomi was going to update us for Nougat? Remember when they were going to update us for Oreo? Oh right, now Android P is almost out and still nothing, not even a security update.

Finally got the update. I had been keeping an open mind and trying not to be biased either way about the new leanback launcher. I love it, it's an upgrade in every regard.

  1. You start on the app row when the device turn on/goes home. (I got a "Thank God" from the girlfriend regulating this.)
  2. Can jump straight to continuing any shows on Netflix without opening the app or the distraction of finding the show again.
  3. Live Channels suggestions seems row is great.
  4. Looks much cleaner and modern.

No YouTube TV video channel only YouTube

Another staged rollout, not available for me (Germany)

Nitronine

So is it only released in certain regions? Still no update available in Canada.

Just as easy to sleep the TV. Twice as hard up tell mother in law how to reboot it now when YouTube TV gets hung up

The answer is probably an obvious "not yet", but I thought both Live Channels was supposed to get a dedicated channel? Anyone get that working?

Kodi has a channel but only a blank suggestions card -- I wonder if there's a way to tie it to a specific playlist or widget?

Also the Play Next channel is bare even after playing some Netflix shows and YouTube videos -- disappointing experience thus far, unless I'm missing an option I was supposed to enable.

I added apps to my favorites list but I can't find a way to remove them? Anyone know how to do that?

I'm talking about the top 'Apps' row.

I'm installing right now! (8:25am EST USA)

Can confirm just installed

taheromar

I believe this for preview build... Any indication when it will hit stable? Just from your old experience with nougat as I've just grabbed the shield.

syde1020

Any way to force the update? Not showing up for me :(

tacomonstrous

Anyone else having trouble updating the controller and remote? It always fails.

amazonminds

seems 11 days out still being rolled out only to preview program members. Still waiting for it to arrive on my Shield

I freaking hate the new UI. Anyway to Roll back safely?

Let's hope no bugs this time, just checked and no upgrade for me

cedarson

I really dislike the new user interface. I wish they gave us an option to revert back.

dr0ffig

on average what's the delay for this release to hit Canada?

Still didn't fix the wonky overlay that comes up on the bottom of the screen when moving tiles, for me at least.

But it only appears then & I use my air mouse to hit the buttons, because the d-pad then ceases to function on that menu, it's completely fine otherwise..?

Just installed it. Youtube app won't boot. Every restart of the system takes ages to take mento the dashboard after the Android logo has finished its animation and I get a black screen in the meantime. Also, if snoozed, the home button on the Harmony remote won't wake the device. Is it possible to rollback? This is a huge disaster. And I'm not even talking about the horrendous new design
