Is there a timer app or a way to turn off the shield at a certain time? I have to and like to have the tv on to fall asleep. But I don't want to burn up my data by streaming all night long. Thank in advance.
I just used a wall plug in timer . Would still like an app to do it if possible.

Both my PS3 and Ouya controller will stay on all night while the Ouya is powered on and in standby. The only way to get the controllers to turn off is to power the console completely down. This is the second night my controllers were dead when I went to use them.
The controllers will shut off about 5 seconds from pulling the Ouyas power cord.

That's why I always drag my lazy butt up off the couch and hold that button for 8 seconds. It sucks. But for now at least it's the only way to turn the thing off (Ok, you could push the button for less time and then confirm with the controller...but while I may be able to get my lazy rear off the couch I'm still too lazy to carry a controller with me.)
What's odd though is that your controllers are dead from that. I'm still on the original AA's I put in mine when I got it at the end of May and I've had the controllers stay on overnight several times. I don't have a lot of time to spend playing it and I assume active use of the controllers drains power faster than leaving them on but inactive....but it still seems odd that yours would go dead that quickly.
I think the Ouya controller still has power but my PS3 has been found dead. Although honestly the PS3 controller was probably close to dying and I only charged it for like 30 minute before using it again.
So technically the controllers aren't being fully drained from 100%, but the problem is that the Ouya isn't telling the controllers to turn off after X time of inactivity. So while they probably don't use much power, they are still on and draining.
I have the same concern.

I'm not sure why they're staying on all night, the OUYA controller should time out after I think 10 minutes of not being used, but I have run into the problem of the controller not shutting off when putting it into standby. I even did a hard restart and it still did it. the solution that finally worked was to unplug the battery from the controller. I've left my OUYA on for the majority of a month and it's only happened twice, so hopefully this helps you.

While I understand laziness, holding the button for 8 seconds can cause file errors (although it's not likely) and possibly even a soft brick. Using the controller may save you in the long run =)

The controllers do shut off after inactivity. The problem is the Ouya has a bug when in standby that causes it to wake up when anything happens on the HDMI port. So even if I have my TV on a different input when I turn it on it causes the Ouya to turn on and if the controllers are still on then they end up staying on because the Ouya stays on because I don't realize it's on because I expected it to be in standby.
Ouya is aware of this bug and working to fix it though: http://forums.ouya.tv/discussion/18...ep-mode-by-powering-down-by-controller#latest
If you actually power down the Ouya instead of just putting it into standby then the controllers do end up shutting down after a few minutes.
Hello folks! Well i have my Ouya and PS3 controllers both connected to the Ouya and i only have this issue with the PS3 controller.
My Ouya controller turns off after about 10-20min no matter if the console is on or on standby.
Sometimes i have the problem though, that my PS3 controller is left on when i completely shut down the Ouya and after turning it on it will automatically reconnect as the first controller. This annoyed me several times and i had to carry my PS3 controller out of range...
This might be sort of a weird question (and as I've not had a chance to check my firmware numbers, I'm just shooting in the dark)..But has there been a silent OTA released?
The reason I ask it that two nights ago I noticed my MOJO went completely to sleep somewhere around an hour after we stopped playing. No blue light, and my connected hard drive was shut down as well. When I long-pressed my CTRLR, both system and drive came back on.
This never happened prior to this, but it has consistently happened since.
Quirk of my unit? System Failure? Silent OTA?
Anyone else notice this?

My build number is MO0110-ww. I don't think that the mojo will auto update. It to my understanding that you have to download an update manually like the link that is inside the mojo app and then use the update firmware app to install. Have you checked your sleep settings in the settings app. Yours could have been set to a long period of time. I have mine set to 1 day because I usually just unplug mine when I'm done because don't want to wait for the sleep to kick in to turn off the annoying blue light when I watch TV. The mojo will act like you said when it does sleep though. You might look under settings, display and see if that is what it is.
Strange. Mine has NEVER turned off (I plugged it in Christmas Eve) and have only unplugged when swapping out memory cards and hard drives. The light has always stayed on and the hard drives never shut down. Then all of a sudden the other night both happened. Freaked me out and I immediately long-pressed the CTRLR and checked my power connections. Everything seemed fine...Then an hour later it happened again. Checked again and all seemed well.
It was just weird for that to all of a sudden start happening when I had gone for an entire month with the system always "on."

Same thing happened to me. I was sitting watching television and notice the blue light on the mojo blink a few times, then go out. I immediately selected the "inputs" button on my remote, and the HDMI slot occupied by the MOJO was ghosted. I unplugged/plugged in the MOJO, and the blue light came on and the HDMI slot was no longer ghosted. Coincidentally, I tried the CTRL-R and discovered its batteries were dead. A little while later the light went out again. This time, I checked the inputs again, and found the MOJO HDMI input slot ghosted again. This time I wiggled the mouse I have for the MOJO, the blue light came on, and the input channel was no longer ghosted. The happened several more time over the course of the day. Each time a wiggle of the mouse woke the MOJO up. A couple of days ago, I replaced the batteries in the CTRL-R, and woke the MOJO up with it instead of the mouse. Then, just for the heck of it, I removed the batteries from the CTRL-R. The blue light stayed lit for 24 hours or so before going out. Unless the CTRL-R is sending some low level "stay-awake" signal to the MOJO, I don't know what to make of it. Everything works as usual otherwise. I submitted a ticket when the light first went out, but have yet to hear back.
Right now if you let the CTRLR go to sleep then it is preventing MOJO from correctly going to sleep - we're likely going to fix this with a firmware update for the CTRLR (which will also increase the time before it goes to sleep to 30 minutes).
If you turn the pad off or it runs out of batteries then MOJO will enter screen sleep after the time set in the display settings and then, shortly afterwards, it will enter deep sleep. Regarding firmware updates for MOJO, the next release will enable OTA but it will never ever do a silent update.

That's interesting.
I, like these guys, have been trying to figure out a way to control the blue light. I kind of went through the opposite experience. I set my mojo up as a media box before I went about getting games (was waiting on the a2a cable to root with) so I only had a keyboard and mouse combo plugged into it for the first sleep. I'd gotten used to the machine shutting it's light off, and couldn't figure out why after getting games the light would stay on the whole time. I just unplugged it at the end of every night and didn't worry about it for a while
I had noticed the sleep patterns of the CTRLR. I'd thought there'd be an LED response to a quick tap wake up similar to the long press pairing blinks so the lack of lead me to believe there was one sleep and one waking option. I've since figured out the sleep and deep sleep timings, but for a time I figured since I had to long press anyway, may as well take the batteries out and pop them in every time I'm done for a bit. Using rechargeable so it's just a good excuse for a good habit. I think I was watching Netflix and kind idol mindedly pressed the home button and volume button to find the light sleep.
in both cases I'd become comfortable with the deep sleep versions of off. The CTRLR is cool in either sleep modes, but the light on the console itself gives cause for alarm. I was used to mine being off so when it stayed on I first figured it must be hardware keeping it up while worrying it was some sort of nefarious app or some such nonsense. Once I'd linked removing the batteries to the light I pretty much had the whole bugger Sherlock'd, but I was unawares you could turn the pad off. Do you mean virtually or physically? I've not known any way of turning the controller off without taking out it's batteries.

Hi Welcome!
Turning the pad off is the same as turning it on a long hold on the home button (blue light).
A normal press wakes it up in sleep mode (5-10mins with no use).
I use the daydream feature as a bedside clock. I plug it in, daydream clock comes on and all is good.
When I wake up in the middle of the night the screen is off.
Anyone know what is happening? Is this Doze? Any idea how to override?
Have you set it not to optimize?
Sent from a phone that isn't a Nexus 6p
I don't see daydream as an app that can have battery optimization turned off. I installed clock plus and set that as my daydream. That is listed as an app and I turned optimization off for that, but still the same problem.
I guess i can just use the stay awake option in developer options.
I don't know if it's related, but when my phone is daydreaming, and I tap the screen to wake the phone up, it just turns itself off.
currently for me, daydream/clock seems completely broke. Its always off. Doze shouldn't even come into play here but i did set the clock, daydream etc to not optimize.
I'm having the same problem with Daydream on my Nexus 6P. But I think I may have found a workaround. The screen turns off when Daydream is active after a couple minutes when plugged into the included quick charger. But I just found that it works as expected when slow charging using a computer USB port or lower-power wall charger. I've only tried this for five to ten minute stretches. I'll try it out tonight when I use the 6P as a bedside clock and see if it stays on through the night with the slow charger.
I successfully had Daydream stay active throughout the night by having the Nexus 6P plugged into a lower-power charger, rather than the included quick charger. That works fine for me, since it's nice not to have to shuffle my only quick charger to the bedroom each night.

brilliant. I had the same result. this sounds like a new bug because I haven't seen it on my previous (pre-Marshmallow) phones.
Occasionally when the shield wakes it does not display any video and the TV believes that there isn't an hdmi connection. So far the only factor in when it happens is if the shield was sleeping for 4+ hours, but it does not always happen. It has never happen after it slept for >1 hour but it has happened about 1 in 8 or 10 times after 4+ hours.
Any one else have this issue?
I have a similar issue. I get only sound and I need to force reboot by unplugging power from the shield
I have the same issue on Pro 500GB, anyone has solved?

I reived the Shield TV yesterday is the Pro, when i configure the first time update the shield automatic, can't skip the update to try if in 2.1 occurs, i try too downgrade to 2.1 but in the configuration can't continue if i not connected to internet, is possibe that is a general issue not only my device?
I have an Android TV Shield (v3.0) which is connected via an amp Denon April-x4100w (hdmi back cover). The first day everything was fine, the second day more image. I tried restarting the shield, reset the amp, turn off the upscaling of the amp, change the video frequency .... do you have a solution
I'm having the same issue with no video when waking up from sleep. The problem has been getting worse, and now it just cut the video out in the middle of a movie.
False alarm. It was the HDMI port on my TV. I'm dumb.
This may have already been addressed but I cant find the answer. When I leave for work I like to leave on animal planet for my dog but after a few hours the fire stick ask if were still watching and you have to hit the buttons to keep watching. Well when I'm not there it just turns off. So question is. Is there a way to change this where my dog can watch tv all day whit out it shutting off.
Thank you all
