[HELP] GTA3 Problems - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys.
First off, I love my SGN. It's the best phone I have ever had the pleasure to own and I don't regret signing a 2 year contract to have it.
I do have 1 problem though... I installed GTA3, I ran it and it downloaded all the extra data it needed. I played it for about 20 minutes and put it down to carry on working .
Later I decided to open it and play some more. The screen goes landscape and the status bar disappears. Then 2 or 3 seconds later the status bar comes back and I am back on the app drawer, still in landscape.
I have the same problem with Brothers in Arms 2.
Anybody had this problem and if so how did you fix it?
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks XDA'ers!

Wrong section - you wont get an answer here. Post in Q&A.

usually happens when you dont exit games correctly through their menu systems. Go into all apps, find GTA3 and force close it.

So many ??? So little patience

Ok, i have loads of questions that i have been meaning to look up and hope i can just get some quick yes, no or "download this cab sucka" replies to my questions of today. Thanks much
Ok, I just got my phone a few weeks ago and have not really played with it till i went to London 2 weeks ago.
So what happened to your pictures going into landscape mode when you turn the phone? Has this been disabled?
Is it just my phone or is YouTube slow as all hell, if it even works at all.
Has anyone found a fix for S2U2 when it starts up in landscape, the screen is all messed up 90% of the time requiring me to close the phone to unlock it.
Has there been a Sony Panels cab made that works yet or has that idea gone away like the second coming of bell bottoms?
Anyway to get the 3d version of the stock tab back?
Why cant i get Skype to work?
And WHY does my dogs breath smell like boiled cabbage?!?! (yuck)
Is there a Tube station app someplace, for all of the London Underground?

[Q] Modern Combat 3 issue

I have made it all the way to Level 11 "surgical Strike". Everytime I get to the part where ou have to go into the shed and use the rocket launcher to destroy to armored vehicles, soon as I go to pick up the weapon it does nothing. It will not let me pick it up. And one I do attempt to pick it up the game will not let me reload or change weapons. Soon as I run out of ammo the gun and arm are shaking like the dude is on some serious crack withdrawels. And I am unable to reload, zoom, all I can do is run around until I die. I have redownloaded the sdcard files several times, I have uninstalled the game and redownloaded it again same thing.
Does anyone have a save file they can upload where it saved to where you are just past that part of the mission? I am completely unable to get past this part of that level and I have no idea why. And its driving nuts as I really do enjoy the game both online and off.

This used to happen to me!! So annoyin had to try like 10 times.. blow up the 2 tanks and just carry on going forward then it should go away
I cannot even pick up the rocket launcher, soon as I try to pick it up, which it wont l;et me, the game goes bonkers and thats when the game starts to freak out.
I'd suggest moving it off the SD card.

I have it installed on my phones memory. And the additional download files will only fit on my sdcard. But again the aok is installed to the internel memory
Uh...... anyone have any ideas on this? Has anyone else experience this issue and found a way to resolve it?
I also have this problem in the same mission when you try to pick up the rocket launcher. What i found out is that this problem sometimes occurs if you are reloading or trying to change your weapon with another one when you are getting hit by an enemy. Just reload or change weapons when it is necessary.
And when you are in Level 11, well.. I hope Gameloft fixes this annoying bug because this game is great! I bought it at Gameloft´s WAP Shop. I only played campaign mode so far , so i don´t know if this problem exists in multiplayer mode.
so were you able to get past that part of mission 11? I have literally had this happen to me 15 times now an I cannot get past that. If you got past it and I am still not able to would you be willing to upload the save file for it?

OK, so when I got in the shed I fired my weapon until it auto reloaded and then it let me finally pick p the rocket launcher. Thank goodness that was attempt 16. Finally I can continue with the campaign. Thank you very much for the feedback UNCUT88RAW.
Not sure how to close this thread. Issue resolved thank you to UNCUT88RAW.

Sluggish performance, battery life and really poor browser?

So Ive had this HTC One X for like a week now (btw is it common that the back is already scratched when you unpack it?)
And it has some issues, overall its a good phone but... yeah:
1 - Im having some issues when sometimes entering Music and wish to play a song, the entire phone stops responding basicly, unless you keep pressing the "back" "home" "recent apps" buttons at the bottom fo the phone, sometimes you get into one of those, and can shut off the app Music, however if you go back into Music, itll show ups as a black screen with an odd bar at the bottom which you cant interact with.
The only solution to this is to turn off the phone and turn it back on, and then Music works again.
The very same thing occurs with the internal movie player or in my case MX Player, at random itll stop working, thus a reboot is in order.
And yes shutting off all apps using the app manager or whatever doesnt really fix anything.
Is the SD card so highly fragmented or something that the phone is having trouble finding the files or something? Or is the SD card not suitable for any larger files? What is the speeds on the SD card?
2 - The internet browser, why does it constantly readjust? When I zoom in I want to zoom in and have no stupid readjusting occuring where the font changes and what youre looking at having blank white squares that reload. I had none of these issues with my SGS (i9000GT)
I downloaded the Chrome Browser and it has the same issues, is there no way to fix all this? I dont want it to reload the pages like it does, or atleast not the font OR moving the "view" back to the left side of the browser (if zoomed in)
Heres an example: /watch?v=SEFWshNQ3ac
Oh yeah it also has to reload the tabs, didnt have to on my previous phone.
3 - Battery Life, I was playing some Zelda (starting fully recharged) using a GBA emulator found in the market, 1 hour later Im at 11% battery life!
Same thing goes for when I watch a video, if I were to put a movie on the phone (in a smaller res than 720p!) I could watch for maybe 40min to an hour and the battery life has dropped substantially, like 20-30% left. This is horrible.
One day, I woke up, plugged the phone out of the recharger, fully charged, went out to town, like 8 hours later battery is at 50% with minimal to no activity.
In comparison I could play a bunch of games, watch videos and what not on my SGS and still have way more battery life after even longer sessions. I could finish "Yes Man" in 720p with ease and still have more than enough juice to run another session of "Yes Man"
How do you get this "Battery Fix" which Ive read about on the HTC Blog? There seems to be no info about it.
There shouldn’t be any scratches on the phone if its new, are you sure its brand new and not a used/refurbished one ? If it is used or refurbished then the previous owner may have installed an unstable custom ROM. Can you see an app names Super SU or SU or Super User in the app drawer ? Also What do you see under Settings > About > Software Information ?
As for the first problem , maybe the HOX you received is defected . Just maybe .
Second problem , you can go to the settings to change it ... >.>
Third problem , here try this link out [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working! This might most probably help you out .
I think you just have a bad device. That isn't how my HOX behaves and if I was you I'd take the phone to either be repaired or replaced.

Since my phone is Stock Im not gonna Root it(nor is there any tutorial that Ive found on how to Root the HTC One X) incase the phone would brick it self and I were to turn it in then I wouldnt have any warranty as they would discover it.
1. Maybe, but it seems the SD card is overall ****.
2. Which one?
Which browser are you using ? Stock ?

Yes I work for all three... you forgot Sony Ericsson btw!
Yes it had scratches on the back, the lower back.
Anyway battery is just ****ing **** on this phone, the phone gets REALLY warm around the camera aswell when you for instance watch a video or play a GBA game.
dude you got ripped off sorry
The heat is normal. I do strongly advice you to follow the advice about the first or second post(the one about which software your using). If you can tell us, maybe we can try and see if it's not a used one.
Also when you got it you mentioned that it had scratches on the back, but what about the front sticker. Did you have one on, even?
I have not heard of a scratched phone that is brand new.

Some battery benchmark charts can be found here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/3
--------
On auto brightness (default)
I can stream 720p video over WiFi for 5+ hours
I can stream 320kbps audio over Data for 9+ hours
I can sleep for 6hrs with WiFi on, and it remains at 100% upon waking
I can play the latest high-end 3d games for 2 1/2 hours
So, if you ain't getting similar results - either something is draining it, or you have a seriously damaged phone. (I guess the first)

Grand Duos acting up after 4.2.2 update + root

Hi all,
This is my first post on this wonderful site that I've referred to more times than I would admit
Anyways, my Samsung Grand Duos I9082 has been acting up lately. A few games seem to just stop working after the. Official update to 4.2.2. But now it hangs way too much. For example, NFSMW Most wanted sometimes takes control of my phone, no buttons or touch responds. Even the lock button doesn't work and the Game simply carries on ( also, the car starts turning right each time and just continues. I can't do anything but hard restart my phone. This also happenes if I play the game and quit before letting it happen in-game ( if I'm lucky then 5 to 6 races, but it always happens).
Also, real boxing and virtual tennis challenge don't start saying I have to download data ( which is exactly where it's supposed to be, in the BOB. Folder in android).
Reinstalling real boxing hasn't been of any help.
Checked the dev option cuz I read somewhere that auto kill app should be off so I did that too.
Also, asphalt 8 has joined the ranks of the above 2 mentioned games, crashing at initial loading screen.
Need some answers if not solutions to this predicament that I seem to be in. I'll be chucking this set for a newer one ( confused ...ideas guys) ... but still would want to know if it's something I'd love to know so That I'll either sell or gift to my cousin
Cheers Guys! !!!

[HELP] Screen freeze/stuck with lines and sometimes reboot itself

Hi,Guys...
Two days ago I was interested on a thread in Reddit, since it cant be accessed freely in my country so I choose to try it with VPN.
Then I installed alot of VPN apps and I just realized everything was turning ON at the same time and my phone start to laggy then freeze/stuck. Can't do a thing like moving screen or pressing button which force me to restart the phone.
After the phone reboot I uninstalled all of the VPN that I've been downloaded.
Then I look on my screen which is full of dulls cuz of use, so I wiped it with soft cloth (i like shiny screen), since the Ambient Display in ON, the screen was moved along with the wipe process which make the notification tile move up and down and the switch like Wifi,Mobile Data, DnD, etc get pressed randomly many times, then the phone freeze/stuck again.
I rebooted it, and when I'm about to use it like 5-10 seconds it freeze again but this time it had adjacent lines and have color like rainbow (i dont know what it called), and this is the beginning of the problem. It keep happening even now.
I can't use my phone for few minutes. Keep freezing/stuck sometimes it have lines sometimes dont.
Even if after I restart the phone and let it boot to homescreen, sometimes it would restart it by itself.
Is there anyone who ever face this kind of problem? I'm hoping this is not related to the hardware since until now this phone is not officialy released in my country so I dont know where I can bring this phone to get serviced.
Please for anyone who can tell me what to do to help bring my daily phone to be normal again.
Thanks in advanced. And sorry if my english is not that good.
bump. I have the same issue.
