Modern Combat 3 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Has anyone actually gotten this game to work on the GNexus? I have been in touch with Gameloft's tech support team (Which is a joke, at least a week between emails as simple as them saying we are working on it) and over the last month, I have received two "Fixed" apk's that have done nothing, as the game still crashes at the same point (Right after the Gameloft/Gameloft Montreal start screens). On the flip side if I disable data it works fine, which basically takes out half of the game (Multiplayer).
So I guess, if anyone has it working, mind posting your ROM/Kernel combo or how you got it to work (With having data enabled)?

CM9 and Kernel typically are good setups to use to test. Also try MIUI.
AOSP/AOKP are basically our stock roms. So you should get the same result going between Stock/AOSP/AOKP. CM9/MIUI use a custom built CM kernel so apps behave differently.
It is weird because while I haven't played MC3 extensively, I did buy it during the $.10 cent sale and played the first couple of missions. This was back in December btw.

Tried on Stock/AOKP/CM9 all with the same result. Just FYI.

Doesn't work for me either. Unlocked/rooted and running 4.04.

2 Issues with Galaxy Nexus: Wifi + Multitouch, temporary fixes inside!

Issue 1: Multitouch issue
- As far as I'm aware of, there is no fix yet and a lot of people are experiencing the issue. What happens is whilst in landscape mode, sometimes, if one finger is placed at the bottom left of the screen, and another is placed on the bottom right, it'll fail to recognize the second touch (bottom right). This doesn't always occur, but does happen at times.
Simple fix: Lock the screen, then unlock it
Issue 2: Wifi consistently dropping
While downloading files, or sometimes even watching youtube videos, the wifi icon will disappear for a split second, then come back and an error will appear along the lines of " File could not be downloaded due to an error" or in the case of the market, it'll just stop downloading and give an error.
Fix: Sadly, the only fix that I have found so far for this issue is to get a new router. See my post here I used a Linksys WRT300N
EDIT: Another potential fix is to change some settings with the router but I'm not sure exactly what settings are needed to be changed.
EDIT2: I've created an issue about the wifi issue over here and according to [email protected]:
Im assuming you are downloading huge files using WiFi... there is a notorious bug still unresolved on DHCP leasing time. If your route is settled to infinite (0 or ffffffff) a local timeout of few minutes is applied, thus the download broke and resume time by time because dhcp renewal. To fix this try to adjust your route settings indicating a discrete leasing time (i.e. 24 hours or 2 days) and thi should fix this specific issue (also noticeble when watching youtube videos, that may freeze after few minutes).
Hope this helps.

Hey everyone,
I have had my Galaxy Nexus from Bell for a few days now, and it is a beast Everything runs smoothly, no lag (even with live wallpaper) and helps me accomplish everything I need from a mobile device ( a hell of a lot better than the milestone - international version of the Droid)
However, there are some prominent issues throughout the device.
1.) The wifi constantly times out, it will stop working at random times even if im 1-2 ft away from the router. Also, when I was downloading SD files for a game (asphalt 6 - 524mb file i think), i had to restart the download at least 10-15 times to finally get it to download. Is this a hardware issue? Can this be fixed through a software update
2.) The multitouch doesn't work at random times. For me, whether its plugged into the charger or not, at random times, when you touch the left side of the device in landscape mode, the device will not recognize touch inputs on the right side. HOWEVER, if you lock the screen, then unlock it, it works flawlessly. I am determined this is a software bug (may not be though) and if it isn't could someone please tell me? Thanks. And a lot of people also have this issue : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385587

I have two question for you awesome people at XDA.
1.) Could someone please either post an issue to Google regarding these two issues or direct me to a website where I can post them?
2.) Could any of these be a hardware issue? Do you think I should return it and get another one?
Thanks so much guys,
Mosh
Would also like to know if the second problem is software related or not :/
EDIT: noticed now that my screen gets really hot at the top. Really hot! Does your get warm aswell?
Don't know. The easy fix is to swap it.

Both my touchscreen and WiFi have been working flawlessly.
I did have some initial hiccups with the WiFi until I power cycled my router.

I've been having WiFi trouble with the Nexus too - the phone generally seems to get poorer signal in comparison to my other devices. I've unticked this box, but it still keeps avoiding connecting (and when I go to WiFi settings, actually says it's avoiding connecting to my network because the connection is poor). It's frustrating, to say the least.
Rather than immediately assume that you should swap the phone, or thinking it's hardware, or (?).
What build do you have? There are at least 3 builds available for the SGN.

Seriously people need to stop making such a big deal of these separate builds.
WiFi could be an issue with the router. I had a problem where connecting Nexus to the router would cause both mine and other users internet in the network fail. Once I disconnected, internet returned. It worked on first few loads, then not anymore. Strange thing is that it fixed itself few weeks later.
(Same happened once with another router and when I was using HTC Desire, Android seems to be a wacky WiFi partner)

Not this. If its software you end up with another phone with the same problem.
You may find other radios help with wifi, check the dev section for details if you have a rooted device. Otherwise youll probably need to wait for one of them to drop via an official ota.
As others have said, uncheck the weak wifi option
In terms of the multitouch issue, just tested my device and can't see any issues at all. Could be software related as the screen itself can support 10inputs - be interesting for users on non standard roms to check and see if they do have a problem as this may lend some weight towards the software related argument.

I get #2 in shadow gun if it goes into sleep mode while i'm playing. Its clearly a software issue as restarting the game it goes away.
Point 1 happens to me too. I've tried multiple ROM's. I'm getting a bit worried that it's hardware. It's dropping every few mins when I need it... then it comes back rather quick.
You have any news or has anyone else experienced it?
I'm not seeing a ton of people talk about this wifi problem, so I'm guessing it's not a widespread issue. I'm assuming it's not hardware either, but I'm curious about it. Whenever I turn on wifi on the Nexus and it tries to connect to my router, it disables all other connections, and the Nexus reports that it's not in range of the router. I'm interested in what routers people are using that are experiencing this issue.
I have a D-Link DI-624, a free router provided by Verizon with FIOS signup. I'm using a custom password, not the one that came with the device. I have a 13 digit alphanumeric password (sorry, I can't remember the exact security setting for it).
Edit: Actually been doing some research on this, and it's appearing it may be a frequency / channel issue, that the phone is broadcasting at a frequency similar to your router. Looking into exact fixes at the moment.
I have no problem with wifi and multi touch.
But I noticed that two fingers cannot be very closely touched it will mingle together. For example if you hold shift button on keyboard it could act like normal shift (turn lowercase to upper or vice versa) but its very difficult to use shift + a
Also lots of games exiting on me, first I thought was multi touch acting up so I could accidentally hit home or back button. But then I think its just matter or compatibility of those games with ICS.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
do you know if the latest update solved the touch problem?
Same issues here. On the samung version (dont remember the codename) i had this issue so i rooted and changed it so that google updates my phone. But this didn't help either. Still losing wifi when i am downloading. Like now i was going to download 9mm and after 2 seconds the wifi disconnect until i quit 9mm and then it pops up straight away. Can it be a hardware issue?
PS: before i change my phone brand to google, i could see the "avoid poor wifi connection" but now when i go to advanced tab it's gone :S
Ok everytime i try to test wifi in speedtest it says network communication issues after 2 sec of testing. Any info please? Do i have a faulty unit? going crazy over here
For what it's worth, I haven't had either of these problems on my Galaxy Nexus, and it's been on a lot of WiFi networks.
I've gotten speeds in excess of 20mbit/20mbit via the speedtest.net app multiple times on the campus wifi, as well as my parents', and my dorm connections. I've downloaded the Asphalt files twice without any interruptions either time, and I've never experienced any problems.
As for multitouch - no problems with that either. To type in all caps you can hold down the caps button on the keyboard and type - it's never given me any issues. I don't think I've been in a situation where I've felt multitouch hasn't performed right.

Multiple ROMs doesn't mean much, they all share official driver binaries and radios that are available.

YouTube stops playing on longer videos

I've had this issue on every touchwiz based rom I've run. I would guess that most of the time I can watch a video that's as long as about 2 minutes most times. If it's longer than that I'll usually make it about 50% of the way through the video. When I was running cm7 on this phone I didn't have the problem. I've tried searching bit my terms seem pretty vague and I can't really find anyone else having the problem, or any solutions.
Anyone else ever experience this kind of trouble with the YouTube app? I'm currently on the latest blazer rom but have also tried Caulkilins (I never know how to spell it or pronounce it...but you know which rom I mean ;-) )
Thanks

Had this problem with the Evo and Evo 3d. Also got it on this phone stock when I first bought it. Somehow it just went away since I've flashed Calk's. I think its a problem with YouTube itself.

I never really had this problem. Hopefully you find a solution.
Lately YouTube app freezes on videos and on epic 4 it foreclose altogether now

It doesn't fc, it just stops playing. I just tried to watch a 3 minute video and the (god forbid) a 10 minute. Nope. Not even close to 2 minutes in on either. Is YouTube that bad now? I don't seem to have this much trouble on my PCs,though I do occasionally have some.
This REALLY bothers me. But others are able to watch videos no problem, eh? This isn't an epidemic ....

I've been on every single rom. I never had this issue. Are you using ics leak or gb el29? Also do you have good data speeds or a reliable wifi at your house? And did you update your flash player via market?

I'm in your boat my dude. My youtube will just stop playing randomly. It could be 3 mins or 10 mins into the video and it just stops. It really started annoying me until I realized that it was an automatic pause. So I when I touched the screen, it would resume. I don't think anyone is working on a fix though with it being a seemingly small issue.
Mi nuh tek intimidation
I was complaining about this to someone at work the other day...and when I went to show them, it worked fine. I SWEAR I've had this problem at work..but maybe I got my facts confused and just didn't look @ youtube at work beause I didn't want anyone to see how flawed my awesome device was.
tried a few more....everything was good.
Go home....no go. So now I'm wondering if it's my old Linksys WRT54Gv8 running DD-WRT. I upgraded the firmware to the newest stable (mine was from 2008 and upgraded to one that is late 2009). No Luck.
at work I was on wifi also, so...it's not the phone's WiFi.
it works better on 3/4g but freakin wifi should rule them all. my cable is fast as F and other devices in the house don't have issues...weird, eh?
OK so this is a troubleshooting thread at this point. It's a problem with my home wireless.
I tried upgrading the firmware on my DD-wrt router and I think I bricked it. Oh well. It had a decent life. The firmware was from early 2008 and I don't remember when I got it.
So I got a new Linksys/Cisco e3000 and set it up. It doesn't hand out IP addresses or anything. All it does is share my internet connection. Dhcp and DNS is handled by my old windows 2003 domain controller. I get an IP and all seems fine but I've done quite a bit of testing tonight and wireless is slower to begin things (like market, YouTube, etc) than 4g.
My speed test results are great thoughf on wireless. Like....stupid fast. Almost as fast as my connection is. ~25mb.
The initial post was obviously about YouTube and what I'm seeing is on Wi-Fi a video will cache up much faster but it stops at some point. When the playing video reaches that point the video stops and will not start again. When I watch a video on 4g it caches up more slowly, staying just ahead of what's playing. On the rare instance that it catches up I'll get the spinning circle for a second or 200 and it'll start playing again.
The behavior is quite different and I'm not sure what would cause it.
Hoping someone might have some insight here or suggestions .....pretty irritating to not be able to enjoy this awesome phone as much at home as I can at work. I have a lot more time to f off on my phone @ home.
For my home wifi I got the Asus n56u, and also bought a range extender that plugs into an outlet. I have had no connectivity issues and setup was a breeze. Its either your router or your service at this point.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
i'm having the same f***ed up issue. after playing vids for 5 mins, it stops suddenly. and its annoying as f** !!! theres got to be a solution to this.
My setup is just overly complicated. I had a 2003 domain controller that does dhcp and DNS, then goes through a virtual machine of a Linux firewall called Untangle. The VM was running within a 2008 server who was also supposed to be a domain controller.
I hated 2008 and wanted to go to R's anyway so I demoted the 2008 server blew away the old untangle install and just started over with 2008r2. Also upgraded from the old free vmware server client (no longer available or supported) and went to vmware workstation and now everything is working great.
I doubt you have the same things.....but....I don't think it was a problem with android or YouTube, but its still weird that no other devices at my house had this problem ....

[Q] Wifi Delay - bad connection (kind of a review)

Hi @ all,
So i have been using my Note 2014 for around 3 weeks now.
Despite the lags on the device while browsing or searching in the playstore , i noticed or lets say - i get frustrated that webpages dont load. I have to refresh them several times to finally show up. The same with theplay store and any other app that requires a internet connection.
So what i want to know is, if you guys have experienced the same or if everything works good for you ?
Thanks so far...
Bottom line is that if there would be another tablet (windows or android ) with a good pen like the note has, i would have switched devices immediately i guess. For college the spen is superior than any other pen i had a look at so far. Despite that it is still a good device..
I haven't had any Wi-Fi or BT issues. I compared download speeds between my N3 and N10.1-14 using a 1GB test file and the N10.1-14 was significantly faster using the same router. There are a couple of wireless "issues" threads that point to some N10.1-14s having possible h/w issues. If you're having connection issues across multiple different routers and networks you may have a h/w problem.

I have a similar issue. While websites seem to load normally in the browser, I frequently get connection errors or time outs. For example in the Play Store it has happened several times that, after clicking on an app, the page for that app can't be loaded and al I see is a 'reload' button in the middle of the page. Clicking that loads the page quickly and I never actually disconnect from my wifi. I have also had to re initiate several app downloads as the initial download created an error. This happened mostly (if not exclusively) when I send the app through chrome on my laptop. At least one other app also has some connection issues sometimes after it gets a push notification that triggers the app to update.
I feel like the issue is when the tablet tries to send data right after or while it's receiving data.

Thats really weird. If i dont find a solution for this i will trade it in. Im currently keeping it only for the great spen feature. There is currently way too less competition for tablets with a good working active stylus (only wacom technology atm)
Similar issue here, but maybe not to the same extent as yours.
For me the most prevalent apps that have this issue is the play store and youtube. I will frequently get connection error/server error on those apps. The funny thing is I can open browser in a pen window and load any site just fine while this happens, it's the apps that refuse to load pages. So I believe my internet is fine, it's an issue with the apps. I'm gonna try factory resetting later.
Here's the Wi-Fi performance of my N10.1-14 (on the right) and N3 compared. They are connected to the same network, were tested in the same location, and tested within minutes of each other. On average, the N10.1-14 actually outperforms the N3 in signal strength. If you notice in the elapsed time chart there aren't any major dips in the connection speed which there would be if there were a signal or h/w problem.

I just downloaded a normal download speed app. The result was really odd. While my nexus showed a speed of around 3 mbs (wtf?!!) , my note showed a speed of around 25mbs. But if i open websites or browse youtube or whatever , my nexus is always way faster...

I am one of the guys here which didn't have any lags (And I am known to fast devices). Also with the stock browser and play store I have no issues. Everything is fast... so it must be something else which interfere here.

[Q] Native tethering VS Custom ROMs

Hi
I've been using a Lollipop 5.0.1 Note 4 port ROM on my Note 3, tethering worked like a charm. I've used up to 125GB monthly for the past 4 months on T-Mobile tethering to my Mac, AppleTV, tablets, desktops, laptops... you name it. Obviously custom ROMs aren't perfect. Battery life is horrible, NFC & GPS doesn't work, Bluetooth and WiFi issues, some stock apps don't work as they should, etc...
I had to upgrade to T-Mobile's Official firmware due to a big malfunction that erased all my data and almost bricked my device. Immediately rooted and downloaded a Deodexed and Knox free Tmo firmware. In just a day I hit the cap on my 5GB tethering plan and my speeds have been reduced to 128kb... Spotify doesn't even load any music on my iPad and I don't even wanna try loading Netflix on my AppleTV.
I've been wondering wth makes a custom ROM able to tether freely and how I could apply that to my "almost" stock ROM. I've read so many threads and comments, applied some suggestions and used some apps and none works for me. I think the best workaround is to break Tmo's APN, but I can't edit it. I'm not a developer neither a noob, but any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

From the main page of the Note 3, not the T-mobile version. I've been using Dirty Unicorns. Battery life is great at least I think. I came from an HTC One M8. The tethering works fine for me. Except there was some leakage of around 200 MB, though I think it depends what detects it. Pretty sure whenever, I update League of Legends that's what detected the leakage. Other than that. I use to play WoW and any steam games, and of course services like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu. No leakage there for certain. I myself not a big TouchWiz fan. So yes, this is your stock 5.1.1 with Dirty Tweaks of course. Give it a shot. I love the rom, but since I'm an addict, I'm always looking for something to flash on my phone. Good luck :good:

Galaxy A50 WiFi issue and downgrading

Hey so I've been having this issue with my Galaxy A50 where the wifi would keep hiccuping in a constant pattern, this is very noticeable when I try to stream games using either Steam Link or Moonlight, the wifi would cut for like a split second each 5 ish seconds. I did however find a workaround, and that it so enable and disable airplane mode, it would completely fix the hiccups.
So today, I regretted updating my phone so much (7th of July update), because now, the hiccups are back and they are more constant than ever. The trick I'd use to make the wifi stable no longer works, I need to keep airplane mode enabled at all times to avoid these hiccups.
I would like one of either solutions: can I fix this issue once and for all, because it's supper annoying, I tried removing my sim cards and all but the issue persists, if there is no fix for this, then I'd like to revert to the previous version I had, I have already downloaded the files from Sammobile, but I'm worried that it would brick my phone or even refuse to install period, here's the ROM that I'd like to install:

I've explained this issue a bit better on the steam forums, so I'm gonna copy what I typed there;
Thank you very much in advance.
Okay so, recently I got a brand new Galaxy A50 phone, and whenever I'd try to stream games (over local network using WiFi) I'd get frequent and consistent hiccups that last about a split second each 3 seconds ~, I suspected that the issue could be from my phone being faulty or whatever, but I tried my brother's phone which is the same as mine, but the issue persisted.
On very rare occasions, the hiccups would not occur and the stream would be absolutely perfect, so I know for sure it might not be a hardware issue and that a stutter free experience is possible for sure, however I have no clue how to keep it consistent.
Mind you I have tried many other devices, my old Galaxy S5 and S6, even tried a Huawei phone and an Oppo phone and they all seem to work just fine, I even tried different streaming services like Parsec, TeamViewer, Moonlight etc... So the issue is certainly not my network as it is working just fine with other devices.
The A50 is a pretty popular mid-range phone so I'd expect at least someone to use Steam link (or similar apps) on it and experience this problem, yet I haven't found a single post about this issue online, the only thread that pops up is another one of mine related to this issue (on Reddit).
Can anybody help me come up with a solution? I tried quite literally everything I can, including updating my OS and all of my apps.
Thank you in advance
