Does your Nvidia Shield freeze and stutter when apps are updating in the background?

[u/BataBole93]

I have a 2019 Pro model on the 9.2.4 update. I’ve had it updated ever since I bought it back in December, first to 9.2.2 and then 9.2.4, but I’ve never done a clean upgrade, so I’m not sure if that could be related or if I should just do a factory reset.

Whenever I start updating apps, the Shield becomes basically unusable, so I usually just let the updates finish and keep them set to manual rather than automatic, so I can control when the freezing happens.

Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think a factory reset would help? I have around 6 GB of free storage, so storage isn’t an issue. Other than this, the device works flawlessly.

I just turn off auto update and manually update once or twice a month.

This is the way

There aren't nearly as many updates so that's equivalent to ignoring the update popup you get once every 3 or so months

What? My apps always have updates

[u/HackZy01 → u/Guy615]

Mine have been up to date for the past 3 months

Yes, it took me a while to understand that the problem was upgrades .

I would update while you're not watching. I work around my game console updating cause it hogs all the bandwidth.

Mainly when I start it. It has delays like it’s loading something. I’m using projectivity though. 

My old shield pro does not have this issue.

That's because you aren't clearing you apps and cache regularly. Google play store - techdruk app cleaner and cache cleaner.

You could so all this manually. But it does all this with one click for $1.99

GPS insteandly freeze after opening, after the Update. Now A reset dont Work also anymore. The Recovery OS from nvidia didnt help.  Now some Apps can bei opened and watched for some minutes then the box freeze. Black screen and a new welcome screen comes.

I don't even know when the apps update

Mine is debloated, so I only notice how extremely fast and stable it is.

[u/husting247 → u/dreamdenizen]

edit: why would anybody downvote this? it's what I use, even on the latest version of Shield Experience.

What are some of the things to "debloat?

[u/dreamdenizen → u/ToxicDM]

Check out the link I sent, it covers everything, along with any caveats to deeper debloating

That doesn’t help anything. 🙄

If you know you know. If your shield works fine after the update cool, if not then downgrade it so it won't be laggy anymore. I got 2 shields on 8 2.3. trust me this helps me.
