This update fixes some things prior updates broke, which was upsetting to many SHIELD owners, who were used to flawless performance. This reflected badly not only on Nvidia but also on Google which owns and develops software for Android media players.

For those that have been waiting for a hardware refresh, you'll need to wait a little while longer. But this latest update should fix some lingering and annoying issues with the software and make the SHIELD an even better media streamer than it already is.
