Amazon is now stating 1-4 months for the official desktop and car dock, I pre-ordered these items in the first week in December and I'm now considering cancelling this order and attempting elsewhere.
Anyone have any information as to the reason of the delay or provide any alternative websites to order these docks?
I ordered the vehicle dock on Dec 16 from amazon.co.uk, initial dispatch estimate was Jan 1 but was just pushed to Jan 31.
Curiously, amazon.de lists Jan 19 as the estimated in-stock date.
Expansys is showing Feb 29th as the release date. I've had mine pre ordered from there for a while.

Grrrrrrrr I want a dock before I get the phone, at this rate I will wait till the GSIII is out.
I had ordered both of them from Clove last month and I got an email saying they are hoping to ship in 1-3 weeks. Since no one has them and no one has any definite release dates, it's pretty clear Samsung just isn't giving anyone concrete information on their release.

Since Google bought out Motorola Mobility, would it be safe to assume that the future Nexus phones would be built by Motorola?
I looked for thew playpad pro on Amazon and noticed there's another version called "PlayPad Pro for Amazon Fire TV"
Generic "for android/bluetooth" version
http://www.amazon.com/Playpad-Android-Bluetooth-PC-Mac-Linux/dp/B0092ZEINO/ref=pd_sim_vg_1
Amazon fire tv version
http://www.amazon.com/PlayPad-Pro-Amazon-Fire-TV/dp/B00J9P3KBS/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
Does anyone think there's any difference or is Nyko just trying to capitalize on having a half priced controller for the fire tv and optimizing search results for those who are looking for an alternative?
I already ordered one, but it doesn't ship until the 25th.
There is a lot more marketing info (pictures etc) on the page for the FireTV version.

From the reviews on amazon if you search for Fire Tv on the old version of the playpad pro, it works just fine.
if you go to the page for the old one, it says right away that there's a newer model.
they both have the same price, I don't think anyone is capitalizing on anything.
the one I ordered was the newer "firetv" one. because reasons.
but if the old one works, that's good too.
I am more than a little curious why there needs to be 2 versions. I wouldn't mind if someone bought both, cracked them open and compared the chips/pcb.
but as long as it works it's not going to bug me all that much...

If you ordered when it said shipping on the 18 and paid for overnight, contact Amazon and they will refund the shipping.
When I ordered it, it said not shipping until the 25th. I selected normal 2 day delivery since I'm not in a big hurry

I ordered one when it said the 18th, expected delivery is the 23rd with Prime. That's one business day extra by my calculation but I was more concerned that ALL stock was delayed a week. The rep I talked to said mine was confirmed out of a first set so they must have sold out of the first batch and are getting more a week later. Fun.

LOL, I ordered when it said the 18th as well. When I got the e-mail saying they had been delayed, I was told by a CSR that nobody was getting any shipped by the 18th and that they didn't know for sure when they will ship and the 25th is a "we hope by" date. My Arrival date was supposed to be the 22nd.

Color me totally unsurprised at conflicting information from Amazon . Well at least they will typically take care of disgruntled folks fairly well in my experience. I'll likely just cancel, move on and get a wireless dongle for my XBox controllers and go wireless that way if these become vapor.

Since a few people are reporting the older version works fine I ordered a refurbished one for a backup, it should be here Monday. If the new one doesn't ship by Wednesday I'll cancel if the refurb works. It must be a jinxed week for shipping because Walmart just screwed up another order.

The Nyko representative, responding to reviews on Amazon, is claiming the FireTV version has a firmware update. So, it sounds like the same controller with a different firmware. If the firmware is available, like the original PlayPad Pro for Android, you could upgrade an existing controller.

The update is available from Nyko. you can e-mail their customer support and they usually respond withing an hour or two.
Is it the Playpad pro 100 firmware from 3/28 ?
I returned my PlayPad Pro to Amazon, bit the bullet and bought the genuine FTV controller. PlayPad Pro just behaved wonky.

Ya mine seems to act weird in GTA I can't get to map menu also when the controller goes off I have to repair it to get it to behave normally. also the buttons just seem to act weird. How is your experience with the FTV controller?

Did you update your controller's firmware? I found that the re-pairing is an issue with the older firmware. However, once you update the firmware you may encounter lag in RetroArch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58533153&postcount=11
See my post for more info. I didn't mention my AFTV in that post, but I have paired the updated controller with my AFTV and it is working well. I haven't tried RetroArch on the AFTV, yet, though.
Not a bad deal if your looking for one.

Apparently not available anymore.
The post was created on 18th June 2015, 16:33. How would be possible to be available yet?
Hey, could anyone upload a twrp backup from the new model so i can try to port it to my first gen shield tv?
shouldn't be so hard because serial console is available on the gen1
Really... Why?! Can't you just chill out till Monday when the Shield Slim is set to officially release with both Updates, and official Factory Recovery ROMs?
No "port" is required, 16gb is 16gb & 500gb is 500gb nothing is different as far as "gen 1" & "gen 2" software is concerned because there is no "gen 1 & 2" it's a simple refresh like Sony & Microsoft do for their gaming consoles

Thus why I run it the 'Slim' the onlything new 'bout it is the removed features... (i.e. the IR Port, MicroSD Slot, and WiFi Direct).
That said, the Shield (Slim) *cough* 2, will officially go on sale on Monday. At which time nVIDIA is rumored to release the Updates for both the new, and current line of Shield TVs. So just be patient, Monday is only another Three Days from now.
Just a friendly fyi: some pre-orders have already been shipped out, mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, and that was standard shipping speed
Also the nougat update at the moment is strictly for shield slim

Apparently its gonna be a week or so which doesn't make sense seeing as its the same firmware right?
Who knows, a twrp dump from gen 2 would still bei nice
Well in all fairness Today was MLK Day in the US, so outside of Gas Station Attendance, and WalMart Employees most People have the Day off.
Yeah was just reading a bit more on this and not sure if it will work with 16gb model as the new update for 16gb (2017) model, doesn't have micro SD, IR port and other functions.
That doesn't matter, the software would be the same
I ordered the 4K stick with TV remote control as a backup device to my 2nd gen Sloan box (still scared to try and root it by opening the actual box up, hell to the no. If anyone could maybe simplify or point me to a guide other than the one posted by the root OP thread, cuz that still confused me on how to do this without bricking /breaking it I’d appreciate it), but anyway, I noticed after all those Amazon prime deal sales they went out of stock until February 17th. So although it’s purchased and ordered it won’t be here for a few more weeks which makes me worried about which firmware it’ll come in as I’m guessing these new 4K sticks are being freshly made as we speak from the factory and will come with the latest firmware, right? Otherwise how else will they bring more devices to re-stock, I doubt they have older made ones layout around somewhere that they’re shipping in? Lol
I’m so pissed I didn’t order when they had prime deal as these must’ve been sitting in the warehouse for awhile on a lower and probably root-able firmware.
Also if anyone is interested in getting one I believe only the 4K stick at $49.99 will auto apply a $20 discount making it $39.99, works as of 2/10/21

Nope, I doubt that the stick is vulnerable, amaz. fixed it months ago.
Best is if you return that stick and then go for a vulnerable used/second hand one...
