How reliable is Plants vs Zombies on your Vibrant? Its a hit/miss on mine. Sometimes it works great, smooth even with lots of stuff going on, other times its slow and locks up my phone where I have to do a hard reboot. Then today my saved games were gone...
What file system are you using? I have no troubles in it, i even managed to finish it without hiccups.
Runs like a dream. Except a warning to all - it freezes if the low battery warning pops up at 15%. At least it did for me

Yeah, very smooth, no issues. I've backed it up with ti backup 3x and restored going from rom to rom already, no issues there either.
Where do i find plants vs zombies?
well, when i first downloaded it, i was running Asgard, the 2.3.3 rom from EDT. It wouldnt load up. It froze at the sand time thingy before the PopCap logo. Now I'm on Heathen's Galaxy S 2 clone rom, and it runs fine. Only played 3 levels so far though, so haven't put much gameplay time into it.

If you press hone or press the phone power button, it puts the game into "hibernation" instead of on pause, but it's because of how much the game has to preload into memory. It's no quitting, it's just not instant resume.

I've now lost all progress twice following a hard-reset, both times on Bi-Winning V3 and OC'ed to 1480 mHz... I was also streaming Pandora both times and recieved a notification during gameplay which seems to have casued the freeze-up (I've been OC'ing without issue for months).
Perhaps it's pertaining to EDT's coding? My girlfriend hasn't had any freezing or progress-loss on her stock fascinate.
I hate that you have to signed into Amazon to play it. Sketchy.

even though you've been OCing for months, it most probably is related to your OC. even if you think you are stable, there isn't an app out there that can test the stability of our phone OCs to be sure.
It's running pretty well for me except that I have to redo the level when someone calls me.

I doubt you need to sign in to Amazon to play the game. I have DroidWall blocking internet access to all my games and it still runs pretty well.
If you mean sign in to Amazon to download the game, this has been explained and discussed in other threads.

Well for me whenever I get a text or a call, (I have a SMS popup) the game pauses and whenever I get back to it, it picks up where I left off.
As for signing into Amazon, I think it checks to see if you are signed in on the Amazon App Store app to make sure that it's tied with the right account.

You only need to be signed in the first time you run it. Same with all Amazon apps. I do not have a data plan, use WiFi only, and that is all I ever have to do and have no problems. If you change roms, after you load your backup you need to be signed in the first timer you run it and that's it.

Im running Bi-Winning V3 and I lost all my progress too! I bet its probably gonna happen again. The game is really fun but I'm not going to switch roms because of it, Bi-Winning is too blazing fast!

Could be the reason but I wouldn't say probably. If you look at the reviews of this game in the Amazon appstore people are reporting a lot of bugs including lost progress. While it is true that some of the people that report this bug may be overclocking I highly doubt it's all of them. The bottom line is the game has issues (hence the 3 1/2 star rating) and things like this will happen until these issues are addressed in an update.

I have been running it on Heathen's SGSII clone v2 rom with no problem for a few days now. I haven't enabled voodoo or OC'd because when i've had voodoo enabled before, TW4 FC'd a lot and it seemed to run hot. But so far, i've had no problems what so ever with voodoo disabled and no OC.
I dunno if anyone has mentioned this in particular. I did see someone said that if they get a text or a call it goes right back to where they left off. Not for me. I got a call when I was on level 2-1 and when I came back it had to load from the hour glass and then my saved game was gone. LAME!
ok i start now a uptime contest because i want to know how long the tab runs smooth...and maybe what problems will shown after been a larger time up...

this is my first android device
my Nokia N8 runs with leaked symbian^belle... how long u wish
2 days and 15 hrs later...
- sometimes widgets missing
- browsing fast as known
- system response is good
at the moment nothing new
My current uptime is 12 days and 14 hours. Never have problem with anything missing, and the speed is just fine. It'd actually be longer but I was showing someone the boot up and restarted it.
So I have had a persistant probleb with hot pursuit on my TFP.It downloads fine boots up fine but when I try and blay, for some reason itll turn heavily to the right. it's ridiculous. ill be holding it straight and its making a heavy turn right. its not the hardware because i don't have this problem with ripetide, just HP. Has anyone had a problem similar to this and can offer some advice as to how to fix the app?
ps this is my fourth time trying the app again after constant uninstall and reinstallations.
So why don't you email the developer of the game or leave a bad review in the Market or something? These are generally the kinds of actions that get apps fixed.
Hi T-HO6969,
I experienced the same problem on the game. So, it should be the game issue - not support ICS tablet?!
(My Prime is on the latest firmware .14)
Just downloaded Hot Pursuit. Right now in the tutorial (with the police lambo) and everything seems fine. Actually seems pretty f'n amazing. The controls, the graphics, the FPS is like 60, I am really liking it. I hope you get your problems fixed.
So I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what my issue was with my prime crashing particularly during games (Shadowgun, Osmos, even Tiny Tower which gets any device hot despite its low-res graphics). It was puzzling because on the "random reboots" thread it sounded more like a completely random (not caused by GPU) and very frequent occurrence, whereas mine seemed to be triggered by graphics work.
Well, in trying just about everything including uninstalling app after app, I decided to remove my microsd card (the one in the prime, not the dock, though I also removed the one in the dock but that did not seem to resolve it). Lo and behold, I can now run any game as long as I like without incident. Before Tiny Tower would freeze up anytime it hadn't been rebooted in the past hour or so. Now it's very very stable. I will be running a chkdsk from a pc later on the microsd card, but for now it's ROCK solid. I can't remember the last time it was this solid. Will keep you guys updated, and let me know your findings as well. May just be a fluke on my card.
If your prime is crashing (3D games or otherwise) try removing microsd card!

mines only occurred very randomly only using stock or ICS+ browser. It would freeze then eventually reboot. Most times if it FC, I just choose wait then browser immediately works. But other times when loading a graphic heavy page, I guess, it would freeze then reboot. I know it wasn't the memory card as I never put one in. And I know it wasn't the..14update as this occurred way before that. It wouldn't happen alot. Just randomly only in stock or ICS+ browser.
I'm testing a .15 beta build now. So far so good. I'm using ICS+ browser n haven't had a FC or freeze n reboot yet. Still need to test more as I just installed it an hour or 2 ago. I think we all will get the official .15 update any day now. Its gotten alot of positive feedback from beta testers. Seemed to fix freeze/reboot some experienced since .14 update. I'm not experiencing the constant random reboots like most of them are. MY issue a lil diffwrent. I'm testing to see if it fixes the freeze/reboot/FC issue that only occurs every once in a while only in stock or ICS+ browser. Never happens during any other type of use.
This does nothing for my repeated reboots and freezes post the latest firmware update but it does seem to do the trick with Shadowgun THD, which had been totally stuck. Not wanting to tempt fate but managed to play an hour of Shadowgun flawlessly with the micro sd card removed. Not an ideal long term solution but hopefully points to where some of the issues lie to help with a proper fix. Thanks.
hey folks. im on tge xt912 vzw stock mostly. i swap over to a rom sometimes. in the past few weeks my phone has been getting sluggish/freezing for a couple minutes after running apps for 10 minutes, give or take. honestly i play games mostly, but have noticed it doing it with facebook, browser.... most anything. after a few days when it started i flashed back to stock factory and only updating the installed apps it still did it. i have been trying different roms with no fix. axxion being my favorite, but it randomly reboots.
another note, almost around the same time this happened ive been watching my network and wi-fi signal. normally on jb they are blue. 80% of the time they are grey. it seems when they do turn blue i have really intermitten signal. its like my signal is constantly dropping in and out. some apps tell me i have no internet connection when blue, but working when grey.
not sure if others are seeing this, or maybe my phone is going bad somewhere. any information or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for all the great information here on xda and all of you fine folks hard work.
