Hello everybody! Does anybody have an idea why all the new gameloft 3D games which you can find here just crash on start? But they run just fine on the Nexus One. What's the problem with our device?

Think this is specific to yourself mate, I'm running Real Football 2010 with no problems. I ran it on my stock software and my Rooted MCR r3 at the minute

Ok, sorry, I wasn't quite right. Asphalt and Real Football are ok. But Sandstorm, NOVA and Gangstar crash in 100% of cases.

Hmm, ok, will give them a try later on when I get in from work. Hope N.O.V.A. does work, loved that game on the iPhone

You'd better not buy it, I afraid it'll be a waste of money for you, because several people have already reported that it doesn't run on their devices either( But it runs fine on Droid/Milestone and Nexus One.
So no fix yet?
NOVA runs ok on my desire.
make sure your downloading the arm version not the omap one, gameloft do 2 versions for each of there games and only the arm versions will work on the desire.... sandstorm for example is omap only atm i think? it will only work with the droid, galaxy s. milestone, ect
Perhaps, it is best to use PC to specify Desire and download them.
If you go on the web via Desire, the automatic download might wrongly identify your phone as a Motorola phone...
Does anyone know if 3D android games will work properly for the touch pro 2 running android? For example, anyone tried N.O.V.A. and other really 3D games? Thanks everyone.
They might run, but very slowly though. Reason being because hardware3D isn't fully workn or implemented on this build yet. Its coming soon. So for now, everything is software rendered or something. Overclocking will help speed up apps and games but it can't justify the hardware3d not working. Try some out for urself and see. Id say if the app or game isn't too 3d intense, then it'll run it. Run an app or game that's very 3D intense, and it'll run slow or slow down device. I've tried some. They work but not fast enough. With this build they getting the essentials wrking first then everything else will follow. I've got a feeling very soon there will be some Major updates. If u must , then overclock. Overclocking will help out with games in the meantime until they finally finish implementing hardware3d/open gl.

I bought 'Super KO Boxing 2 ' which seemed to have great reviews. The only issue with the current build is it's fast enough to be playable but is still pretty slow. The file is also large so you need to install it to the SD.
If I was you I would hold out on 3D games until OpenGL has been sorted. Other than that you can always download normal games that don't use much graphics.
Even if we manage to get OpenGL, I'm not sure whether the TP2 can handle 3D games smoothly. We'll have to wait and see. :S
yep 3d games would be difficult to run smoothly enough to play with the current builds, so all you can do is wait and play 2d games that are fun. a game i play some what is world war, its pretty much just to waste time for me when im bored. either that or abduction world attack which is very fun
@ demandarin: i bet you cant go 10 post without mentioning overclocking in it , lol nah im just kidding, overclocking is great but i swear my phone doesnt like me everytime i try it out and yes i do put in the right amount. but thats another story.
i highly recommend doodle jump, super fun and addicting game that runs in 2D.
can anyone beat my highscore of 86,000?

Thanks for all your replies. By the way, is it better to get a decent android device than to get a touch pro 2 and run android on that. If anyone has the limitations of android on the touch pro 2, that would be appreciated. I wanna buy something that would last a while but I'm on a budget . Is the android on the touch pro 2 customizable like the android on a real android device (I mean if the most apps run smoothly like aHome and others). Thanks in advance!!

id say get a phone with android preinstalled on it. it will run way better, has newer hardware and will most likely have a capacitative screen
yep id have to say get an original android. if anything i would probably say to get a g1 because its the first android and still gots a hardware keyboard and should still be pretty cheep if you buy it on craigslist or ebay or something.
or maybe get the vogue, since its way more up ahead on the android development with ROMS and i think its cheeper to buy also
Okay, i know this is kinda off topic but if you have apk files for android, to install them, do I simply use a file browser and open to install? By the way, I don't think the Vogue is an android device by stock. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
yeah using a file explorer is a way to install .apk, just use something like astro or the one that came with the android build and then just go to the location of where its at and click on it. o and more than likely your gonna get a security warning the first time, it will redirect you to the settings for you to switch it if you want.
and yeah the vogue is not a stock android, thats why i said its in the farest in the android development. that way you can just put a ROM and replace WM in total or use the packages and still use there WM. but hey that was just as a way to save alittle bit more so you can just go with the g1.
So you can totally flash android on the Vogue? Thanks for your replies by the way. Besides those 2 devices, what else are some economical choices?
Hi guys
I recently got hold of a Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, and i have to say im rather dissapointed.
The lag issue, which none of the lag fixes really actually stop, is so annoying, GPS not working as im one of the unfortunate people who have this issue is another annoyance
The screen is fantastic however, and the music player is aweseome with its equilizer.
However i use my phone for numerous things, media is one thing, GPS also as i dont see the need to buy a seperate sat nav when my phone "should have it",
Now i am going to wait until the official Froyo release from samsung before making any decision.
Right stop my moaning and here are my questions
i have been offered in exchange a sim Free Desire, plus a 16gb Class 6 sdcard, all boxed.
The one thing that worries me about going down the Desire route is how long is this handset gonna last.
Looking at benchmarks the i9000 creams the desire (with lag fix) in pretty much everything, i know this is down to the pretty poor Adreno 200 GPU on snapdragon as linpack shows the snapdragon FPU is better, Quadrant over 2200 currently on my SGS
in gaming terms for the future how long is this gonna last? can i expect games that are released in 6 months from now to run flawlessly? i know its hard for people to see into the future! but NEed for speed seems to run pretty much identically to my SGS, so im wondering if its all down to optimization on both chipsets
also gingerbread? a definate yes? or have HTC still not announced if Desire will be getting it
Samsung wont give any answers on this whatsoever
Also what would you guys do?
The samsung guys say "stay with it" but i want opinions from both camps
Cheers
You are on the same point I was a few weeks ago, well I wasn't offered in exchange by someone but the store owner offered to change it for me. Honestly, I'd say go for it. Samsung's software is crap, Desire has a lot better development community. Not to mention you get HTC Sense. Now one warning, Desire doesn't got true multi-touch, it got pinch support but thats about as far as the multi-touch goes. I tired playing Real Football 2010 with a Desire and it was a crap experience. People have reported Quadrant benchmarks of almost 1800 via OCed kernel and custom ROMs, if you really want to get down to that point but honestly it doesn't make a difference.
And HTC still hasn't announced if Desire is getting Gingerbread but there is a good chance the ROM community will be able to get it running. Plus Samsung still hasn't released Froyo, so I don't see a bright future of Gingerbread coming from them.
Now, GPS on Desire is damn good. It works as good as my 2 year old satnav if not better(It usually gets the fix better, I gave my satnav away ).
Honestly the handset has a good life-time to last, HTC Hero is still doing pretty good so Desire should do good as well was another year or more. Even if HTC may drop the support we have people here giving new life to the device.
My opinion: go for it! Desire is a great phone / smartphone.
The more I use it, the better it is.
Make sure you do a hard reset when you get it...
im seriously 50/50 on this, and now my time frame has been shortened, my mate wants to know by tomorrow otherwise he is ebaying it (mates eh!?)
Benchmarks are not the be all and end all, its bragging rights i suppose.
one thing that is seriously tipping me back to HTC is the support and community development, Samsungs own support is utterly awful, Kies is the worst piece of software i have ever ever used, and no OTA?! what the hell is that about.
As for HTC back in the day when i had my hero, ok there was delays but at least they kept people in the loop, one of my biggest annoyences is not being advised anything from samsung other than "we are working on it"
i dont hold out anyfaith that the filesystem will be sorted out with froyo, i mean it says alot when the XDA guys can fix it, but Samsung dont seem to even ackowledge the fact the software is naff!
i thought the desire had true multi touch? Does this mean playing psx4droid is a poor experiance?
No, it doesn't got true multi-touch. If the x1 intersects with y2 or x2 with y1 it goes haywire. It doesn't have gorilla glass either. But the community of HTC Desire is far better than Galaxy S from my experience, we don't have to use Kies or similar crap either(It was a PITA to get Kies to even recognize my phone, took me well over 4 hours and a lot of headaches), we got OTA! .

Glad you share my view on Kies, i honestly have never had such issues flashing a firmware, at least with Odin it did what it says on the tin
ok well im pushing more towards the desire, i just HOPE that its as much as an enjoyable process playing PSX games on psx4droid as it is on the Galaxy S, i do alot of travelling and i spend most of that time on trains playing FF7
If you want to do gaming stick with the galaxy s the desire isn't very good for that. Maybe 2.2 for the galaxy s will resolve your issues. I love the desire its a great phone but its horrible for gaming.

it all depends how much more powerfull the new version of adreno is, obviously developers are still going to develop games for the arm cpu and adreno inparticular, imo i think our gpu will be able to play the games developed for newer versions of adreno but maybe not flawlessly .............. as far as gingerbread goes, the desire will never get it officially as htc are more intrested in supporting what will be then there current generation of devices, but as the desire and n1 are almost identical, and the n1 being googles official developer device, they are sure to get gingerbread, so we maybe we will be the first device to get working custom roms

I never thought of it like that actually regarding future android updates, basically the N1 is the same hardware as the desire, just lacking a little bit of Ram i believe, so shouldnt be too difficult to port over a rom
you sir have just tipped the scales again!
If you care about gaming stick with SGS..devs are even stopping games for desire ( see n.o.v.a) due to the multitouch bug and the the GPU isn't even remotely close to sgs's..Desire's 720p is a big pile of disappointment as well,no matter what rom you try..
other than that it is a fantastic phone...also unique feel as you hold it in your palm..its ergonomy is amazing, even ip4 doesn't sit as well in the hand as desire does..
Your right about the iPhone 4 it is a pain to hold now lol (not about the signal "issue") the edges are Sharp.

I have a Desire & my friend has a Galaxy S.
I would say the Samsung has a better screen. However:
The Desire is a better over all device, software wise and build quality wise. Oh and it has more ram.
However, if gaming is a serious thing for you, I suggest you stay with the Samsung because they really do have the most powerful mobile GPU.

In respects to gaming its not gaming as such, i mean angry birds beta from the market, any gpu should play that, im more bothered about PSX emulation at this point, my sgs is superb with psx4droid, where as the videos i have seen on youtube dont say the same story with desire, however these are based on the early versions of the app,

Don't worry about that...psx4droid does not yet support hardware acceleration so all graphics are rendered from the CPU , not the GPU...so they should play it equaly well..well runs fine on my desire..and also i had an hd2 before and used fpsece which supported(and still does) hw acceleration..and run great on hd2 (has snapdragon chip, same as htc desire)..could get 40+fps on tekken 3...which is brillian (does not even run in psx4droid)..

i think we have crappy drivers for our gpu too, the acer liquid has the same gpu but with a cpu that runs at a lower clockspeed, but apparently the 3d rendering on that device surpasses our device

How many of you guys are going to start playing this game once it comes out on August 5th?
In my personal opinion, the name is kind of stupid but from watching the video below it looks like is going to be a HUGE hit!!
ugh. the game looks kinda nifty, but man, I can't stand that Chris Chavez guy. and his hair. and his voice.
i skipped ahead like 5 mins, thinking I could get past it/him, just get to some gameplay, but no, the f*cker was still talking talking talking...

It's only available for nvidia tegra devices
Get Chainfire3D from market, instal the driver, and get tegra plugin for it. use the "fix market settings" to get acces to all the tegra games on market, then when you have the game, go to chainfire, and enable the tegra driver for the app that needs it, and you should be runing it just fine.. some OC might be needed for older phones.
since this is in evo4g...should run just fine.
Runs fine on desire Z whit 1.1Ghz OC

I had heard of Chainfire3D, but I hadn't heard much about its stability with the EVO 4g. The EVO wasn't listed amongst the supported devices, and comments from EVO users, although positive, were in the minority. Has anyone heard more about Chainfire3D specifically with this phone?
I have SGS 2.
I have bunch of apps installed on my phone and I was wondering if my phone gets any additional lag by having numbers of apps installed...
even bigger emphasis is on games... i have 4 angry birds, 2 cut the rope and all together over a dozen games all together (had even more before) but I just realized that I'm not really playing games at all but sometimes when you end up killing a little time i dont want to start thinking which game to download plus waiting for the whole download/install.
so the question is: do having games app slows down your phone? if so then but how much really?
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 (not rooted/unlocked(yet)) waiting for official update first then there will be rooting and hackin' ;-)
They do not, sort of. Obviously if you open a bunch of them you will be slowing down your phone but a simple reboot will fix that problem, just having them there should not slow down your phone.
