So, earlier today, I purchased this game because I saw the news story about it on Android Central. Played for about 15 mins, and then the game started locking up. Of course, I was past the refund window, and now the game is completely gone from the market on Evo 3D.
The developer also updated the description later with "HTC EVO 3D and Sensation are excluded ! Game is not running properly on them and its not bug in the game. Sorry about it."
Therefore, I believe I was ripped off...and my question is...what can I do about this?
Call sprint and let them know, they will refund it more then likely.

Sprint refunds Android market purchases now?
I'd email the developer they can issue a refund later.

Yes, if it doesn't work then they will do it considering it just goes on your sprint bill. It shouldn't have been there in the first place.

samurai ii is thd ... So i recommend you use chainfire3d by chainfire. Thats if you're rooted
Well i find it Super intereting to modify and loading android onto the touch pad, but i have a asus TF, Works great, Love it.. but wondering would it be worth the hassle just to have a new toy to play with (mearly jut that reason)
i think a Bestbuy 40miles away may have a new shippment in today. but debating weather to go and buy 3 (me, mother,step dad) what your thoughts about this?
I think a better question is, can you find a Touchpad to buy? If you get one, you will definately be happy with the purchase. And if not, there are plenty of us out here that will be more than willing to take it off your hands.

sounds good i would say yes and they is plenty of people who would take it off your hands
You should definitely buy at the PRICE at least for the hardware
yea i know the hardware veiw point im like "what for $99!!" but currently waiting to find as rumor has it.. new sale is bound to happen soon, ( as i read from many forum posts) but i think if i do I will buy it.. but i wont be heart broken if i dont...
Don't forget that if you get a TouchPad, you can also register for 50GB free storage at Box.net (you have to do it via the app on the TouchPad). Depending on what your storage habits and needs are, that might be worth taking into account.
I would say you should not buy it just so I have a better chance of getting another
Why do you need another tablet? That'd be my consideration.

IF you can find one, buy it. Worst case someone will buy it from you if you don't like it.
Also I think Best Buy will limit you to one per customer, at least that's what one employee said his store was going to do.
well thismorning the local bb got a shipment and it was gone before i got there at 10am. Didnt think people of brownsville knew... :| but i think ill give up. Causeyeaidont need another tab, but wanted touse and play with it, moding hacking..etc. , i ill only by if i stumple on a online sale, but i now wont go out my way to buy one, good luck to all on getting a touchpad

one for development/hacking, one for useage. i assumed that would be obvious
I didn't see any reason not to buy it. If you can find one the are practically giving them away. I have a Xoom and love it but I can never have too many toys. Got one at Aarons rents yesterday.

The process I went through to figure out if a TP was really a good buy was to figure out what exactly I needed it for. I just can't justify spending $400-600 on a tablet that's not going to fill an integral part of my technology needs, but $100-200 (depending on size/shipping/etc) is a reasonable amount for me, even if Android never gets ported to it.
The UI is attractive, and there are enough games and apps that I could let my 3 year old play with it while supervised and it wouldn't be the end of the world if something happened to it.
While your situation is likely different, hopefully there is a bit of insight into my personal decision making process in deciding if a TP was a good value or not.
Of course you should buy it...then flip it for 2-3x the price. Then put that money towards an iPad. Then jailbreak and hack to your heart's content and/or develop apps for a viable market.
Then sell the iPad for near full retail right before the next iteration drops and either buy the newest version or three Nook Colors for your family members.

He wants to tinker around on android but he already has a transformer and you think his mother and step dad want to develop on a dead platform?
How are they going to use it? Browse the web one tab at a time? Read e-books with the broken app? Play movies on the gimped player? My guess is you don't actually have one.
My advise is not only solid but it's based on experience with all of the devices in question. But perhaps his parents are xda members
well i know they wont develop on this, i had mentioned to them its a tablet and if they wanted one they can get one (if found) for $100, i told her to look at youtube reviews about the TP, she liked and wanted one.. i wasnt one to mod, toy, develop, and since its not bad hardware. and i dont want to turn around and sell for $250 as i have seen on Craigslist.
we mainly want one due to the firesale Price of $99, but i am unablet to find one so i dont think i will get one. i am no noob when it comes to electronics and software. i wouldnt get a ios device since i dont like the feel of ios, nor apple software. android is nice love it, webos, havent really had enough time to play with it but seemed to be promising if HP let it grow more.nook color is a nice toy, but not really my flavor, now i think ill retire my TF (for modding)when TF2 comes out (Kal-El) platform, so yea

Yeah...so he should go buy a real tablet at full price and not screw people that want to actually develop for the touchpad...
Amazon is coming out with what will probably be a cheaper android tablet soon
To the OP: I hope you find what you are looking for though from your previous comment above. You seemed to thought things through at least
Pending on buying.. worth it?
The only reason why I'm even considering buying this is because I saw that android will be able to hopefully run on this and id like to see honeycomb as well as ubuntu on this and the price has become cheaper. I know you all here have it so i was wondering your personal opinions on the device.

Hannspad or HP Touchpad?
Hello!
Lately I have been looking at the Hannspad, but since the kernel hasn't been released I assume that the custom roms aren't as good as they could be (or am I wrong?).
So I was looking at the HP Touchpad instead, which has very nice specs (better than Hannspad? 1GB Ram & 1.2GHz snap, 10 point touch! Better price) and Android development for it is slowly starting for it, 2.3.5 is working and I hope they'll get it functional soon!
So what are your thoughts? Should I look at the Touchpad and see how development goes over the next three weeks or get the Hannspad ?
I'll buy in the beginning of next month, and I'd like to have a somewhat functional tablet, so what are your thoughts? Will the HP ever get ported so good, that it'll work 100%? How about hardware accel.
Thank you <3

Today is Gameloft's MC3's $0.99 deal which normally goes for $6.99 so head to the Market and download MC3 if you like high quality FPS games. I don't know which one's better, Modern Combat 3 or MADFINGER Game's ShadowGun. LOL!
https://market.android.com/details?...5nYW1lbG9mdC5hbmRyb2lkLkFOTVAuR2xvZnRNM0hNIl0.
update: Aw Hell! It looks like the deal ended this morning.
I managed to get a copy yesterday. The thing literally took twenty minutes to download all the extra data
And, since this topic's already here. . . anybody want to play a match sometime? Maybe we could schedule a tourney? I'm not terribly good, but it'd be fun to play some other people from XDA.
Gameloft ID's Shadow_of_Light, by the way.

That is my #1 peeve about the Market. You only have 15 minutes from the time you download the apk from the Market yet it takes at least 15 minutes on the average to download the required files for that particular apk. WTH! I'll tell you this Shadow of Light, with the multiplayer version of MC3, it's awesome aside from the fact you may find yourself snipered 10 seconds right after the round starts. LOL!

Rofl. So true, man. . . I have no idea how anybody can be a THAT good with clunky touchscreen controls. . .
Which reminds me: I seriously wish I could fire with the camera button. That would be amazing. Being forced to stop aiming to fire a round is just ridiculous.

Both are awesome games, have been playing MC3 for a while now but i really like shadow gun reminds me of GOW
I'm not a gamer, but got to think about it. I already have enough games I'v paid for and don't really use. And its back to $6.99!

Thanks dude,
Nice game:cyclops:
Pay what you want for Osmos, Anomaly, and Edge. If you pay over the average which I believe is $5.65 you get World of Goo as well.
This is an awesome deal and it benefits a couple of charities as well.
These are direct downloads not through the android market.
http://www.humblebundle.com/
how would updates work if they are just sending you the apk?
do they provide updated apk's?
just curious as i haven't used it before.
EDIT: looks like they do provide an update.
hmm, i might just do this!
Done, I've been supporting the Humble Indie bundle for a couple of years now. Love it.
Btw you get both the regular version of osmos as well as the HD version for tablets.
I loved Osmos on my macbook when it first released, but it just works so beautifully on a touchscreen.
Such a wonderful game.
I got it just for Osmos HD. It's awesome on the Prime. Thanks again!
Best net speed Cheacker
which the best site to check our Internet speed.
Just bought from Humble Bundle for the 1st time and will be doing so in the future without a doubt; its a really cool/creative concept to get people to donate to help charities and devs. Anomaly looks pretty sick, though I haven't tried it out yet, but I found out after donating, though it says mobile version, when I downloaded Anomaly to my Prime it was the HD version for tablet.
Just a note for people looking but unsure as to how it works. When you purchase on the website it not only gives you a web link for the apks but also all the games can be downloaded on to any pc os. So your basically getting 8 games at what ever price you want to pay

Doh! I just bought Osmos HD in the market this afternoon...oh well, buying the bundle anyway! haha
the game from the bundle aren't market compatible though, are they? so no automatic updates?

not automatic, but they state that they will provide updated apk's on their site.
does anyone have weird freezes with anomaly HD?
it plays for a bit and then the screen freezes and shakes, but the game still runs underneath.
gonna try to wipe and reload as shadowgun is also giving me the same issue.
edit: so a wipe fixed it, i swear, gamestop does something to screw up these tablets, the first one i had from them also worked much better after a wipe.
Even if they arnt compatible im still very happy i got this. Didnt realise they were doing the android versions on the bundle! Bought one before, but this was early days. Always supported this as its a brilliant way to promote Indie games, yet at the same time raising money for charity.
Thanks for sharing
For those wondering about getting future updates, it appears that they are developing an android app that could notify you of updates and make the process simple (app market-esque?).

Regardless, last night I dl'ed and played all three of the new games.
Osmosis - my favorite, beautiful and fun.
Anomoly - like the spin on the "reverse tower defense" i will enjoy playing this game.
Edge - I keep falling off the edge, the movements don't seem to do what I tell them to. Not my thing.
Well worth a few bucks,

hey guys,
looking to get an inexpensive tablet for the 3 year old for christmas, and found a good price on a refurb nook tablet. just a few simple questions....
1. how easy is it to root?
2. if i don't root, how easy is it to sideload apps?
3. can i install a different launcher (kid friendly)?
4. any tips or concerns giving this to a toddler?
i am pretty confident about the rooting (rooted htc hero, hp touchpad, galaxy nexus) but just wanted to get some opinions and ideas. the price is comparable to one of those cheap chinese tablets, so i figured i would explore this as it will probably be better supported, better constructed, and more durable.
thanks!

I bought one of the cheap Chinese tablets you're talking about for my son for Christmas. The bonus is that it's pre-rooted, the drawback is there's no other development going on for it, but he won't care. And at $70 (now $80), it was cheaper than anything else.
thanks for the insight, lz.
after doing a little more research, i may just go with the boot off the microsd card for the time being. with that being said, i wanted to know what the most stable rom is right now. cm9 or cm10 and who's build? and the consensus is to go with a sandisk class 4 microsd, right?
again this will be for a toddler who shouldn't notice, but i want to give him something that won't freeze or crash on him every 30 minutes. he'll probably be playing toddler games or netflix.

I run AOKP and it's been rock solid for me. Pretty sure that most/all of the newer JB-based builds are going to be really stable.
Suggestion:
For whatever launcher you use, and I recommend something other than the stock B&N one, grab an icon pack (zip file) that includes whatever games/apps you want for your toddler, and use Desktop Visualizer to set up larger shortcuts (mine are 2x2 with 2 at 4x4) for their hands. Seems to work really well.
Games my toddlers love:
Angry Birds (all of them, but I think the Star Wars one won't run unless you upgrade to 5-touch, which means not being able to also run stock)
Where's my Perry?
Where's my Water?
Saving Yello
thanks again for the quick reply. do you know if 5 touch AOKP will boot off of the SD card? will be getting the nt next week and possibly be hitting you up for more answers, if that's alright.
my son loves angry birds as well. he also likes sneezies and paplinko (no real educational value, though). he is usually pretty good with any educational app. loves the variety of being able to do anything.

I'm not sure if any of the 5-touch ROMs will run off of SD, but it is possible. I run mine internally, so I've never tried.
A little heads up regarding Star Wars, I'm currently running my NT on Cm7 (I know, right?) and SW is working fine on two touch.

Haven't run any of the other ones, but I know at least Temple Run was a part of the focus on getting 5 touch working for us.
