Nothing has been announced about a decline in drop rate for Enhancements. There was mention of one of the Salvage Packs granting the wrong boost (xp boost instead of experienced?) or something like that.
I think the only way this could work is if you were running the game on a virtual machine and mirroring it over to the Nvidia Shield (either via wired connection or through wifi).

Good luck!

It lasts for two minutes after activation. And all the powers in the Teleport travel pool are click powers and they all recharge in less than two minutes, so they are essentially a permanent bonus whenever a player slots them.
