NVIDIA SHIELD Tablets Receive Recovery OS Firmware 5.2.0 - Update Now

-

NVIDIA has provided the download links for its new firmware release targeted at SHIELD Tablet models (WiFi, LTE RoW, and K1), namely version 5.2.0, which fixes the GPS crash events encountered on these devices, and more.


Specifically speaking, this new release also updates the SHIELD units to Android Security Patch Level April 1, 2017, improves compatibility with non-standard chargers, and implements overall stability and security optimizations.

To be clear about the downloadable packages, NVIDIA has made available 3 files (one for each SHIELD model) that allow owners to install a fresh (stock) 5.2.0 software upgrade on their tablets

Before considering an upgrade, first of all, you must understand that this process is quite difficult and puzzling, and it should only be performed when you have familiarized yourself with all the steps; an update failure can cause serious malfunctions or even render the device unusable.

So, if you’re ready to install this version, make sure the bootloader is unlocked, the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and FastBoot tools are accessible (part of the Android SDK), and save and unzip the appropriate archive; you might want to use a download manager, as the files are huge

Now, connect the SHIELD to the computer using a USB cable, and follow the steps described in the Release Notes below. I’m saying this twice: make sure you understand all steps and can complete the process, as an update failure can lead to ugly problems.

iPhone 8 Getting a Virtual Home Button, No Fingerprint Sensor in the Screen

KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a very good track on predictions and leaks regarding unreleased Apple products,  says  the 2017 iPhone lineup will indeed include 3 different models, one of which would come with an OLED display. First and foremost, the OLED iPhone is likely the iPhone 8 that we’ve seen in so many leaks and which is expected to come with a sensor bar at the top of the screen. Ming-Chi Kuo says this particular model will come with what he calls “a full-screen design,” and it will have the highest screen-to-body ratio of any smartphone currently on the market. What’s more unexpected, however, is that this iPhone model will come with a virtual home button integrated into the screen, but without fingerprint recognition. This means that the fingerprint sensor would not be embedded into the display, so Apple is either planning to move it elsewhere or to give up on its completely. The iPhone 8 is expected to come with fewer color options as comp...

HTC 10 Explodes, Causes Severe Hand Burns and Eye Infection

-
A new smartphone has caught fire, this time with severe injuries suffered by the owner who was holding the phone in hand at the time of the  incident . Nidhi Kapoor explains in a  Facebook  post that her HTC 10 exploded all of a sudden without even being plugged in to a charger, causing burns to her fingers and an eye infection, most likely because of smoke or parts of the phone or battery that were thrown out following the blow. The phone was purchased in January, the owner says, and it showed no signs of physical damage, which seems to indicate that the device indeed suffered from overheating in the battery compartment and which eventually caused it to explode. “My HTC 10 exploded which burned my fingers and gave an infection in the eye. I purchased on 17th january 2017. It has been a week and since then HTC have given me no response. All they ask is my email id and imei number which i have given so many times,” the woman posted. “It was not even charging whe...
