Additionally, even if this bug is fixed and shipped, most phone vendors rarely update GPU drivers.
This combination is the issue. We already dislike if users reports bugs on the last stable version without checking if the issue is still in the last development builds. Just think how many people in here would look at issue reports for 4.0 wihout comparing at least 5.0. Now imagine those reports just provide a screenshot instead of a technical way to reproduce them. "Play game X till the 4th level, get the quest Y, and loose against enemy Z to trigger this bug." doesn't help.
Bad luck, they don't provide us a way to reproduce bugs on more recent driver versions.
But you're right, I came to the same conclusion: Fuck it, I won't try to workaround random driver bugs and only recormend the shield TV for android testing - and *no* device for real android playing.
