Troubleshooting
4K streams don't look noticeably different from HD
Confirm your TV's HDMI input is set to support 4K/HDR signal, and check your Shield's display output settings match your TV's maximum supported resolution.
The remote occasionally loses connection
Re-pair the Shield remote under Settings > Remote & Accessories if it becomes unresponsive, which usually resolves a temporary Bluetooth disconnection.
Apps take a long time to update
Manually trigger updates under the Play Store's My Apps & Games section rather than waiting for automatic background updates.
You're not seeing the performance improvement you expected
Confirm you're actually using a wired Ethernet connection rather than Wi-Fi, since the Shield's main advantage over budget boxes is most noticeable with a stable wired connection and 4K content.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you regularly watch 4K content or run several apps simultaneously, the Shield's stronger processor delivers a noticeably smoother experience than most budget boxes.
