I should clarify, it's not just rooted, but running Blisspop instead of vanilla android. The older shield tablets were recalled because of a battery issue. Their solution was to send a new replacement tablet, and we were to just personally discard the old tablet (as it would be bricked and un-usable on the next update). So I "personally discarded it" by reflashing it, preventing the killcode update. So now I have two. One with a ticking timebomb battery. It comes out of sleep fine, but it's a different ROM and doesn't support the nVidia software anymore.
I wish I could get my Portable to wake up from sleep. It's getting to the point where it never does. Not only that, it doesn't charge half the time. I could have it plugged in and sleeping for an hour, reboot it and the battery actually drained instead of charged. Kind of a bummer but probably my own fault for rooting the device. However, other than those issues, the thing is brilliant. Highly, highly recommend it. It makes a great companion to the Shield Tablet which is better for some games (like the Beamdog ports, as we discussed).
