It was basically a free to play game even when it cost 99cents to buy.

Gameloft games are made for maximum profit, they're the EA of mobile gaming. They forced their employees to work long hours, while this is the norm for gaming industry, 120hours a week has been quoted. They have poor users policy as well. They will purposefully make older games incompatible with newer devices or take them off the market even though you purchased the game and the device can run it, to promote their new ones. They originally charged 99cents for Asphalt 8, but the game is designed as free to play, as in you play for long hours to gain points/money in order to progress or upgrade and utilize in game purchases that way, milking more money from its users that way.

Anyway, it is a crap game compared to NFS and RR 2 (my extended elaboration), and I was just kidding
p.s. it is an oxymoron for real
my account banned due to suspicious activity, how to fix this?
The latest update runs better, even on high graphics its looking smooth

Since the latest update i'm completely unable to open anything from within the menu. I have no access to any races, options, multiplayer whatsoever, it just won't open and i'm stuck in the menu. I can't even quit the game with my device's back-button.

Try disabling AdBlock or Ad-Away. I was also mad about this and the problem was a hidden AD on top of the Menu.
The game is stuttering on kit kat 4.4 builds, the car seems to going back on high velocity. Wierd.

Really? Well thank you for the advice and info but i will certainly not disable my ad blocker for a paid game to show me ads i haven't had before. Also disabling is not that easy in my case since the ad blocker is included within my ROM (ARHD for HTC One). In order to disable it i would have to completely reflash it which i'm also not going to do just for this insolence on the part of Gameloft.
In what way is this even legal procedure by Gameloft making me pay for a game first and patching it to unplayability with an unrestorable update later on?
You have to add *gameloft* to the host whitelist, and everything will work.

that sure is some not so subtle advertising for your site there..
Downloaded earlier today, its a great game, recommend it to anyone, best top down racer on android IMO
Doesn't work on my phone, saying it's not licensed. Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
Killed it with ATK, restarted, seems to work now. Downloading additional data...
EDIT2: Pretty good game
It's okay, was hoping that it was more like Ignition.
doesn't work for me... It's stuck at "Downloading game data to your SD card"

Delete folder com.polarbit.RecklessRacing in data\data then try to download again.
Servers are just overloaded.
This game is GREAT ! Beautiful and very playable..
same problem for me too. just stuck trying to download. been trying for two days now.
i tried to delete that folder that you mention but isnt located anywhere on my phone or sd card.
any other ideas? it is already to late to get my refund.

i installed the game and played it twice, two days ago.
just now i had a look at my battery stats and especially at the sensor usage (see this thread for a howto to access those numbers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817794)
does anybody else experience reckless racing taking up lots of sensor usage even though it's not even running?
Didnt happen to my phone and I played it last night. I have android system on top.
Just incase you guys didnt know.
If you've done crossix mod then this deal is even sweeter cause more games will show up in the market. Make sure you give him proper thanks.
Must be rooted to do his mod. Give Brendan proper thanks as well.
GAME ON!!!!
Bought 9mm and Order and Chaos ( play O&C on the iPhone too.) Gotta admit I am really diggin 9mm
Sent from my Iconia A100 using Tapatalk
If you don't want to do the fix. Buy the games online and e-mail Gameloft with the order number and they will send you the A500 apks. Usually the same day from my experience, however I imagine they are gonna be kinda busy with the 99 cent sale.
I've done this twice already when I bought games on my phone that weren't available for my tab. They have great customer service, unlike E.A. (eff them)
EDIT: Speaking of which here is the direct link they sent me to download Asphalt Adrenaline HD - http://dl.gameloft.com/cm/t0/0rz0eYrFw33/Asphalt6Adrenaline.apk
So if you purchased that game just download from the link above. It still checks the market to see if you bought, so no stealing.
I am trying to buy the games online but it won't let me; it asks for my phone info .
I am not rooted but really want some of the gameloft games. Is there any other way?
You'll have to root and do the build.prop change I posted a while back to find more games.

Yeah I was afraid of that... Seems like since these are selling fast now GL would get off their butts and make the games available to this platform. Oh well, guess my options are wait or root...

No harm rooting or doing crossix buildprop mod. It doesn't unlock bootloader. I'd do it now just so you have the games now in case you end up with another device later. You won't regret it. Follow the links I posted.

One thing about my device id mod is that it breaks the update function. It sends mixed signals to acer and acer responds with an invalid device type error (when looking at logcat) which is why I haven't posted this mod in the dev section. In order to use the update function you'd have to change the build.prop file back to origional.
The auto updater (and manual) will be completely broken until you restore the original build.prop.

It'll act like its checking for an update but its sending acer invalid data. You wont see the errors unless your looking through the logcat data. So it'll always show "Your device is up to date".

Oh, okay, got ya. I have the games I wanted from Gameloft, including MC3 which I bought today for 99 cents, so I may just load up my backup build.prop, though it looks like it may be a while before we see any updates in the US.
If you use the origional build.prop, the gameloft games wont run. They'll give an error "unsupported device" (it's dumb of gameloft to limit their games per device, but they do)...

Hmm, so is there a way to get them to play while still allowing Acer updates to come through? I guess it's not a big deal, you can always apply updates manually.

Which I think is ok til ICS starts rolling out. Nothing wrong with the 3.2.1 update.zip I posted that I see any reason to really enable updater for me just to get an official 3.2.1 from acer. I'd trade being able to DL more apps and games over that. Again til ICS comes around then ill switch it back. And again thanks for your contribution crossix.

Thats weird. Can you go to www.market.android.com on your tablet and go to the game you just purchased and it should list your compatible devices you can install it to. Do you see a500 on the list? If you dont you might not have done the mod correctly. If it does recheck the lines you edited in build prop. You mightve missed a character.

Yeah a few of mine said that too. Unfortunately i do not have an answer for you. Kinda strange EA makes a big deal about giving us free games, then as your installing it you get a vague blurb about it being "free... during a trial period"... lol
You need to load the game, download additional content, close the game, start the game again and then press My Account (I think it says my account)
It will then say the game is activated.

LOL!! What you need to do is have your phone rooted and use root explorer to remove it or you can "freeze" it with Titanium backup or just find a custom rom that does not have it in there... We only really have 3 custom roms to choose from though and I believe a couple of them are in the roms anyway (at least the link is)...
Or you can hook it up to your computer and you should be able to find where it is hidden (as far as the game data is concerned)

As the others are saying to Root your phone to remove NFS most wanted game, yes you can do that but the game is definitely not taking 5GB of your memory. that 5GB is separate partition for recovery, System and etc. So even if you remove all the APPs off of your phone you are not gonna get more 11GB b/c only 11GB is available for you to use. if you need more space then buy micro SD card which is not that expensive. i just bought a 64GB from BestBuy for 50bucks.
ill root it when 4.2 is out for this phone.. Damn Sam sung whats taking so long ><
The DEMO for this game is huge. Its like 2GB! I wonder how big the actual game is.
Unless it is the entire game and is just locked down... not sure, either way it uses a lot of space. So I removed it.

That is one thing that really bothers me about carrier handsets. At least when ya get bloat with PCs you can semi-easily just wipe and start fresh, wish there was a "full feature" and a "basic" setting for handsets when you set it up.
Since I am new to Android and stuff, would this work: In titanium backup (after rooting of course) if you press and hold the NFS game, a menu pops up, select Convert to User App, and then after it converts, uninstall?
I recently redid my phone so it is currently not rooted, I want to wait until 4.2 to re-root, but can someone confirm on this,

TB let's you uninstall system apps so it's unnecessary to convert it to a user app first.
Also, the apk for NFS that came on your phone is tiny - like 50KB. If you installed the update, that's nearly 2GB and it can be uninstalled without root. Just find it in the Application menu in settings, and click the "uninstall update" button. That'll free up the 2GB.
Hello there!
So i just bought a Samsung galaxy tab S 8.4 SM-T700 version. And i must say, it is beautiful...
But my problem lies in the torrenting, i got a 64 gb microsd card and put it in so that i can download things and i dont have to run my pc cos it eats more power then a tablet naturally. So i downloaded uTorrent to the tablet and it wouldnt let me download, it thinks a little and then says that the files are not found. I've tried 3-4 torrent clients all the same error.
Thinking the client was at fault i downloaded it to my phone (nexus 4) and it worked perfectly, instatnly started downloading.
So my question is that is it the tablets fault that i cannot download? I mean do i have to change some settings or do i have to give up on torrenting on it? If im at it i might also ask that would it hurt the tablet in any was that i torrent on it?
Thanks in advance!
Peace!
Antenora.
Did you change the folder to put the torrent in? It usually tells you when it saids add torrent.
I use Utorrent on my sm-t700 just fine i'd suggest trying a differant network maybe the ports are blocked on the one your trying to use.
Hi
you just can't save torrents into your 64Gb SD unless you are rooted.
anyway it's much better to get torrents on pc. it really drains a lot of battery using lte.
use torrent remote to control torrent client on your pc. works like a champ.

I realise the kitkat SD restrictions, however uTorrent claims to have overcome this - however like the OP I am unable to save to the SD
Appreciate you trying to be power conscious, but your PC does not have a battery that will die in a few years and be a pain in the behind to replace. Your PC is always plugged in and you're not trying to carry it around with you and have to worry about charging it every night.
Yeah I hate it when I ask a question and instead of getting a solution I get unsolicited advice, but in this case, well it makes sense.

I would imagine that it shortens the battery life, but its always going not like my pc, and truth to be told i only wanted to download some anime and maybe some series like flash to it so that i can watch before going to sleep, cos it would have been easier than downloading then copying it to the tablet, but i guess it'll have to do since i cant download until i root it, and that wont be anytime soon.
Thanks for the reply's everyone have a nice day!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I installed xbmc app on my tablet and enjoying streaming of movies from almost all big torrents like kat.ph, pirate bay etc.. watching all new hollywood movies. We can even keep the files on the tablet after streaming. Ip address is not tracked.
