Update first in Settings > Device Preferences > About > System upgrade to get the latest SHIELD Experience. Can my iPhone turn the TV on and off through SHIELD? Yes, over HDMI-CEC. Turn on Settings > Device Preferences > Display & Sound > Power control on SHIELD, and turn on HDMI-CEC in your TV's settings. Most TVs leave the CEC "turn TV off" option off by default. Why won’t SHIELD wake from my iPhone? SHIELD can be set to wake only from certain buttons. Go to Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Simplified wake buttons and turn off the options that limit wake. SHIELD also has to be asleep, not unplugged. How do I control the TV volume from SHIELD? Open Settings > Device Preferences > Display & Sound > Volume control and choose HDMI-CEC if your TV or receiver supports it, or IR. Then the volume buttons in Simple TV Remote change the TV's volume. Where do I find my SHIELD model number? It's on the label on the underside of the SHIELD and on the box, for example P3430.

Guest networks often stop devices from seeing each other, and a phone app can't help with a TV that has never been online. How do I know which platform my NVIDIA TV runs? Look at the home screen or the settings menu, which name the platform. Or type your model number into the checker on this page. Is SHIELD TV a Google TV?
