sim city is 1 of the games that's 10¢ today and I'm DYING to download it, but it says our phones are incompatible. anything we can do to change that before the sale ends? any mods or anything you can think of?
It's just you. I got it fine. Did you change your resolution?
No, never
even when I search the market from my computer, it says it's not compatible with my device

You're wrong, because I can't get it either. How can you possibly know it's just him!? It will install fine on my tablet, but won't even show up under My Apps on the phone.
I just loaded up market on my phone and Simcity Deluxe doesn't even show up.

I am rooted and I can't get it on my phone. I have bought it and installed it on my tablet, I am trying to copy the files onto the phone to see if it works.
I moved the APK onto the phone and installed it, but when it tries to download the 50 MB of data required, it sits there stuck at 0% complete forever.
*EDIT* OK, that worked. If anyone has a tablet or presumably another phone and you can purchase it on that, do so and install it, then let it download all the files. Then copy the .apk onto your E4GT (I used the free appsaver app from the market to back it up) and install it. Then browse to /Android/data/ on the first device and copy the entire folder called "com.ea.simcitydeluxe_na" into the same directory on the E4GT and voila!
Seems to be working fine here with that work around so far, not played it, but it loads up a scenario and lets me scroll around without complaining so far...
Any advice for those of us who only have access to one Android device? I'm playing with the build.prop settings to imitate some other device but nothing is really happening. This is turning into way too much work for a game that I probably won't even play.
Have the same problem with the football game that was for 10cents, not showing up fir the EPIC Touch

Hey guys,
My Evo was stolen a little bit ago. Homeless guy (who knew my dad, so I had no reason not to trust him) came into the house, and I'm sure that he stole it.
Is there anything I can do to find it?
I've heard about the family locator and whatnot, but I know you have to have activated it before the fact.
Please help!
Borrow a phone.
Find the guy.
Call your own phone number.
Listen.

If you have root, move the apk to the system/app folder (or /system/data, I can't remember right now)
if rooted just go to mobile defense site and download the system flashable zip. boot into recovery and flash. this will allow you to turn on gps remotely if it's off.
Im going to give this mobile defense a try. Unfortunately they have the beta closed right now so I had to go to the site to sign up for the waiting list. This sounds like an very useful app.
Sucks.. Mobile Defense you cannot get anymore
Where's my droid is a free app on the market which I use. If you misplace your phone somewhere and it is on silent all you have to do is text it from another phone with the phrase where's my droid and it will ring on the loudest setting until you find it.
If someone steals it all you have to do it text the phrase gps my droid and it will text you back the longitude and latitude coordinates and also a google maps link of where it is at. pretty cool app.

+1 i could care less about sacrificing 2 hours of my battery life to find my phone that i paid 300.00 for...
So my wife was on her Evo when suddenly the browser opened and started downloading something called DroidSpeedUpgrade.apk. The website I traced and it gave me a forbidden 403 from my PC, but did allow me a DL of the apk from phone. I did not install, look at the crazy permissions! Any idea what this is, or how it opened on my wifes Evo (cm7)?
Thanks
Below is the APK, I wouldnt install it, screen shot is the permissions...
I would backup all apps [except that], then do a fresh re-install of CM7.

That too is true, but hoping he did that already. Though either way, I firmly believe she should do a clean install again; at least go through the last 10 apps she installed, and like said, check the permissions.
If I were to wipe fully with a clean install of a rom, and not log in to Google or restore anything, what damage do you think this could do if I installed it out of curiosity?
I know it could get my phone number, info and whatnot. That alone would probably keep me from doing it... but what's the worst that you think it could do?
If I had an unactivated Android phone then I might do it.

Your curiosity is like mine, I am tempted to just install it, lol. See if the app can be found in app drawer or what, if I can do anything with it, and so on. My wife doesnt have any credit card junk stored on phone, but has a bank app, so that is all bad by itself! Wait, Amazon Market has credit card linked to it, so in theory they can get password and get credit card info from Amazon. On top of bank passwords, all bad! Maybe I am being paranoid, but this rouge apk seems to have to many permissions for it to just install like that.
I have a unactivated LG Optimus S here, I will install it on that and report my findings
edit...INSTALLED!!!
OK, it is just a Task Manager, on the outside that is. What it does is mask itself as a battery saver/task killer. Meanwhile it sends and recieves text messages that cost YOU $9.99 each! Says a minimum of one per week will be sent and or received. If works with either Sprint or Tmobile, according with terms and conditions, which are carefully hidden. For the average user its gonna fool them, the app by itself would not be so bad so one would think they got a awesome app. Meanwhile your Sprint bill is racking up $9.99 texts, I guess you can get them reversed by sprint. But if you have autopay set up it may take a bit to realize you bill payment was a couple hunderd over normal cost Just be on the lookout, the app may do more than what I found, I only scratched the surface of it.

It has permission to change your settings, so it could turn data back on. It can also read your phone information - phone number and such - so if it can send this information out then it can definitely do damage.

okay okay. don't install it. final. and why would you install something that you know for a fact is a phone virus? How stupid is that? We need a platform that can tests apks OUT OF A REAL phone environment. like a virtual mobile computer like vmware.

wow really?
good lord... i haven been uninstalling this on my customers phones for 2 weeks now... anyone, get a full decompile on it?
As the title says. Bug or do you think the game just needs an update since the Ion just came out in America?
What makes you say it's not compatible? I was just able to download it fine. Downloading the required files upon initial launch now. I'll let you know if it starts up okay.
Usually with Gameloft games when you start the game up it brings you to the screen to download the SD data, for me it says that it's not compatible and to ask for a refund. I had this game running perfect on an HD2, I don't understand what's going on with this...
Working fine for me. Did you get it through Google Play or the GL store?
Sent from my LT28at using Tapatalk 2
Play Store
You think since I bought the game originally for my LG Nitro has anything to do with it? Could I get your SD data and see if that does anything?
When you went to the play store it said purchased right? Didn't have to rebuy it? I had previously bought it for my Xperia Play so I don't think that's an issue. Did you try rebooting after it initially installed before doing the data download?
Sent from my LT28at using Tapatalk 2
Yep and no, I'll uninstall and see if that works.
Still no luck -.-
No idea WTF I did but I somehow got it working, downloading the SD data now!

Sweet glad it's working or you.
Something is wonky with game installs on the Ion .
I had a very similar issue with NBA Jam.
I downloaded from the Market. Tried to Launch and the Ion gave me an error message, then force closed.
I uninstalled, then dowloaded again, now it's fine.
Hello xda-members,
the touchscreen of my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i is broken. The display's fine and clean but the touchscreen has to be repaired.
Well, i want a friend of my father to have a look on it, but he's in the holidays right now. So i have to wait 2 weeks.
Meanwhile I would like to use my Play anyways. Because it's working, its just the touchscreen that's not working. That means i could still do a lot with my Play, when only using the hardware buttons. The problem is, i can't bypass the "Standby-Lock" with the hardware buttons.
I'm not sure how that "Standby-Lock" is called, but i mean the one, where you simply have to put your finger on the lock image and draw it to the right side. Luckily, I don't have any security-lock with patterns enabled, just this typical standby-lock, that keeps you from accidently phoning someone or etc. while the phone is in your pocket. I guess you know what I mean.
So, to get to my question: Does anybody know a way, how to bypass this "Standby-Lock" with hardwarebuttons or with help of the computer and usb-cable or anything else, except the use of touchscreen?
I hope there is a way and you can help me. Because that would make these 2 weeks (or more) of waiting so much easier
Thank you in advance!
Jimmy F.
What I do is just slide out the Game-Pad and that seems to work, unless you disabled the Xperia Game Launcher from launching when you open the pad?

If I slide out the game pad, when I already opened the bypass-lock then the game launcher opens. but with locked standby mode it does not open, i still have to unlock it first.

I never installed a app via pc, so im telling here what I've done, in case I did something wrong. Firstly, I logged in with my Google Account via Pc and followed your link. Then I clicked on Install and it said the app will be shortly downloaded to my device. So I stared a couple of mins on my device, but nothing was happening. Then I installed some random solitaire app, how the instructions told, in order to trigger the app. Well, I clicked on install as well and it told me the app will be downloaded shortly to my device. I stared another couple of minutes on my device but nothing was happening. :/
Did I anything wrong?

It should have registered your device when you used the play store on your phone. Check its the right phone and try a reboot. In the description are the proper instructions. I think it runs on start up anyway.
Weird, its supposed to take over and a toast pops up say bypassed or something if you get there..

Second weird thing - browser often redirect me to a advertising or span webs. For instance, I try to open youtube.com, it opens different web with advertisement.

Factory reset helped to solve "files.zip" autodownload problem, but phone is still laggy. It takes 3-5 seconds to turn on screen when I press power button in sleep mode. Applications become laggy. I will try to reflash 4.3 via KIES, if the problem remain, back to 4.1.2 will be optimal decision.
