NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Oreo update: this is how OEMs should do it. Android 8.0 Oreo brings all entertainment in one place. In one screen, you can watch live TV, stream media, access video-on.
Earlier today NVIDIA announced the Android 8.0 (Oreo) update was starting to make its way out to the company's SHIELD Android TV devices. As this is an update to Oreo it does bring with it a number of new features, as well as a completely new design that puts the focus on finding content more easily and quickly. However, it also seems to have removed one of the staple features of the SHIELD Android TV experience – the screenshot tool.
Prior to Oreo, SHIELD Android TV owners were able to hold down the Home button to launch the screenshot tool. This not only allowed for a quick and easy way to take a screenshot, but also to record the screen, broadcast, and so on. The update to Oreo though has seen a remapping of the Home button to make it easier to open 'All Apps.' The reason for this is due to the way Oreo operates at a fundamental level, as its shift away from prominently displaying apps in favor of a channel setup greatly reduces the interface's capacity to display as many apps as it did before. Therefore, the change in the Home button function now allows SHIELD owners a quick route to view all of their installed apps. The downside is, however, it has come at the cost of the screenshot tool.
NVIDIA has confirmed this is not just a change of how you access the feature either, but a full removal of the dedicated screenshot tool in general. Therefore, there's no suggestion it will become available again in the future through an update and/or accessed via a different shortcut. However, NVIDIA has also shared an alternate way in which users can still take a screenshot. Firstly, SHIELD owners will need to connect a USB or Bluetooth keyboard and hit the 'print screen' button to take the screenshot. Following which, the screenshot can be accessed and exported by connecting the SHIELD to a PC using a standard USB Type-A to USB Type-A cable. From here, the SHIELD can be accessed like any connected external storage option with the screenshots located under Pictures > Screenshots.

The Android 8.0 (Oreo) update for the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV once again seems to be in the process of rolling out to device owners. NVIDIA has yet to confirm the resuming of the update rollout, although an increasing number of GeForce Forum members (as well as some on Reddit) have reported receiving the update within the last 24 hours. In addition, users in different parts of the world have confirmed the availability of the new update, so this does not seem to be resigned to any specific region.
NVIDIA had previously started rolling out Oreo to the SHIELD Android TV back in May although the update was then halted due to a number of unconfirmed issues. Since then, there has been no word on what those issues were, and as this latest update has not been officially announced as of yet there is still no new information on the nature of the issues or what fixes have now been included with the new update. In either case, it's very clear this is not the same update, but a revised one, as almost all of the GeForce Forum members who have received the new update have confirmed the new version arrives as SHIELD Experience Upgrade 7.0.1. This is important as the original (and pulled) update was SHIELD Experience Upgrade 7.0.0. So the very fact this is an incremental update would lead to the assumption it is considered a fixed version, compared to the original update.

As was the case with the original update, this one is based on a staged rollout approach and is currently only being made available to those who had previously signed up to the preview program offered by NVIDIA. Therefore preview users who had expected to receive the update before it was pulled, should see the new version arriving soon, if it has not already. Likewise, as this is a incremental (and different) update compared to the original one, it should also be assumed it will be made available to those who are already running the original SHIELD Android TV Oreo update. Though the size of the new update for existing Oreo users is likely to be much smaller than the full update now rolling out to those upgrading from Nougat.
