Plants vs. Zombies? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It was my favourite game on the iPhone and was just released on the Amazon App Store for Android today. Problem is it crashes on opening
Anyone got it to work?

Works for me.

Hm... Maybe a re-install is in order.

Nope! Re-installed and it just crashes or the screen goes black
Edit: Are you rooted at all?

I'm rooted and it works fine for me.

Works fine here.

Now I'm annoyed. I'm not rooted and it's not bloody working! Stupid Android
I bet it's something I'm doing wrong...

How did you manage to get the app?? Amazon won't let me download it because of "geographic restrictions"
Or are you using a US-based VPN?

Found another APK online which works! Now hurry up and bring it to the Market, Popcap.

Plants vs Zombies HD that was just released is a Tegra 2-only release. So the SGSII can't play it without CHF3D.

faked a amazon account with U.S address, dled and worked for me

the version that was online didn't work for me either, it kept crashing at startup. i faked and amazon account ( us), since amazon store is not available in my country, downloaded the app from the store and it works very well. oh, the game is smooth, nice graphics,addictive, but sucks the battery like there's no tomorrow. played for like 45-50 minutes and almost 40% dropped.

Yes same here it drains the battery and uses alot of ram don't know why

Works fine here. Faked US residency on Amazon and got it for free yesterday Nice game.

Could somebody upload it to rapidshare, it's not available in the EU, and i can't pay for it. (I would)

This is the version I'm using: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FL3JRZMK
It should be coming out on the Market in a couple of weeks so don't get too attached to that APK as your game save might be wiped if you buy it

Phone Plants vs Zombies from amazone appstore is working (and also the Plants vs Zombies HD ) on SGS II , without any problem.

I used that tutorial as well to access US Amazon Apostore
PVZ works, its not that "HD" version though, just the one from Amazon Appstore for free yesterday.

Are you guys getting these through the market or do you have to go on their website?
They are purchased through the gameloft site, not the market
However, keep a copy of the downloaded files. I did a factory reset and the web site doesn't list them as part of my downloads. Best to buy games from the market, I guess. Gameloft wants a bit more info than my time is worth, or no doubt I could get it fixed.

Since they don't have an option for AT&T, what carrier do you select when you buy the game from the web site? Or does it matter? thanks
@NFHimself modern combat doesnt work from me, i got a link from the gameloft supoort service, since the game just closes after i skip the video
Bought black pegasus from website. Worked for me. Modern combats in the market now

Also noticed on the website half the time it says my phone not supported and the rest of time list a few games. Im rooted also not sure if that matters at website but needed to sideload the downloads from website.

After messing with me phone a bit, the whole re download part of gameloft is screwy for my purchases, I don't know what firmware I bought what with, and the site detects your phone to determine what games you are allowed to get. Not sure if it's all Gameloft's fault since they had a 2 for 1 sale on 3 games that I used twice, so the site kept telling me to download a free game I already had installed, they them updated the website. Also Nova refuses to download content, support sent me a link for a new download, no diff. I lost let's golf 2 altogether, support ignores me on that one. Annoying, I would stay away from any games that are not from the market if you are into changing firmware/themes/wallpaper/display brightness, OK, maybe not the last 2. And backup whatever you get, however restoring the data doesn't guarantee that the game will use it. It's hit or miss with Gameloft. Makes me want to go to pirate bay to get copies of my purchased games. Not that I have been playing any of them lately, lol.
The NVIDIA pinball game is interesting, paper 3d glasses support.
Cheers!
Ok i am a little confused here. When i got to the site on my phone it says it isnt supported. When i go through the browser, there arent any ATT phones listed ( i assume its because they block sideloading). Can i just choose tmobile, download the apk, sideload it on my phone, and it work? Really wanting dungeon hunter 2. Has anyone had success w/ downloading from the above method?
hi im new here (been creeping as anonymous for a week now lol)
Might anyone have experience with gameloft apk files working on the atrix?
I use sideload wonder machine to install them to my phone
but they all require additional download when i open the app
that usually fails (dungeon hunter 2, eternal legacy, nova)
or it completes and then theres missing pictures all over, like white and the game crashes after a bit.
ive found some files that contains both the apk and a zip folder.
im assuming the zip is for the "additional download" but i have no idea how to install them.
solutions anyone?

lol, i used SWM too. works awesomely.
umm, also had the install freeze glitch. it only freezes when your phone goes into sleep mode or when you try to multitask while its installing.
solution is to go into settings, disable the screen timeout so the screen doesnt turn off (and so your phone doesnt autosleep) and just leave your phone plugged into the wall socket while downloading over wifi. worked for me.
currently trying gt racing. it looks good, but lots of jaggies. antialiasing would be nice, but given our atrix's higher resolution, i dont think it would have enough grunt to run AA (ignoring the fact that tegra 2 doesnt seem to do AA).
sadly, the only way i have found to get any games working is through mobilism (bad word?). i guess if they want my money, they'll open up to att now that the 3rd party sources is open. or is that when official 2.3.4 comes out? idk, it's whatever, the atrix has a very limited amount of gameloft choices anyways. they probably have versions for our phones, but the atrix is kinda unique in it's design. does anybody else know of a non-att, qvga, tegra device? when one does land or maybe when ginger lands officially we'll get versions for our phone made available.
Asphalt 6 runs very well. And dungeon hunter 2 works too. I've bought Nova too once but I gave up the idea of installing it because the gameloft's politic on purchases sucks.
And I much prefer my emulators! I have a bunch of em working smoothly you should try fpse, it's great!

Johansson,
how did you get Asphal 6 to run? When i tried installing the tree's are black. In 3D terms alpha channels in textures aren't rendered correctly. =\
Which version of dungeon hunter did you use?

Free Games & Movies

I joined in the Sony chat today on facebook and they said for current UK users a website will be going live tomorrow where you can get 5 free games, 7 free movies and 6 months music unlimited free ( or something along those lines just in case I got something the wrong way round )
The website in question is www.sony.co.uk/unlimited/tablet
And for new buyers of the tablet they will get a leaflet with it explaining this as well, so they will get it as well
Cheers
Sony
and no they didn't answer my question about root
Thanks. It's working today. got an email for 5 games and 180 days music unlimited and 4 weeks of video unlimited for 5 movies
Does this work for US folk?
it seems this is only for those who bought theirs after the 21st November and for £50 less which is nice. The games are free on the store and so is the music trial but the films you seem to need a voucher for and it wont let you register a date prior to the 21st.
In registration i see only: Spain, Italy, UK, Germany.. what a shame

From the US sony store site, so hopefully this will apply to us too
doesnt work for me
Gutted the way they said on facebook if anybody had bought it before the price cuts they would be eligible, but I guess not
Bought mine in October and tried to change the purchase date but keeps saying invalid serial number, hoping from tomorrow it is open for us early adapters as well and its not a case of ha we have your money, now go away
Just emailed customer support to see what they say as it was implied it would be open to all people who had previously bought the tablet, will update if & when I get a reply or fingers crossed it is open for all of us tomorrow
It looks like it already is on tablet without having to register as free games appear in the play station store, was able to download a 180 day trial app for music unlimted but the video app says update required but cant get it to update... yet and destruction derby wont download... yet
in US got 5 free games
I opened the PS store today, and there was the magic word free beside five of the games available, so far ive downloaded cool borders and destru tion derby with no problems, the others were jet moto 1, hot shots golf2, and medievil, although I thought they were going to do it differently, it looks like im going to be able to download all five aat once, I dont know if everyones came with it, but mine also came out of the box with crash bandicoot, and pinball heros(great game).
I havent tried any of the movies or music downloads yet, I will update with any problems.
I purchased my tablet around oct. 20,2011, & although I thought I had registered when I got it, I hadnt until this week. I also havent checked to see if I actually recieved an email from them either, but im sure I did.

Have a look at the Psxperia project on xperia play forum. The format is the same for both devices, an apk and a data folder, but the native emulator on tablet and on 2.3.4 xperia tablet is blocking the format which worked on it before 2.3.4 firmware. Hope it helps.

[Q] Plants Vs Zombies Freezing after ICS update

Ok I did a search and didn't see anything on this topic.
I was wondering if anyone else is having Plants Vs Zombies freezing after the update to ICS? I bought the app from Amazon and I checked and there is no update.
Does anyone know how to fix this??
Thank you guys in advance!
I have the Amazon version of Plants vs. Zombies and i just installed it and tried playing. It seemed to lock up at 'Tap on a seed packet to pick it up!' in the starting tutorial, then I got by there and it killed it and restarted. This time it locked up a little later in the first stage, but basically the same thing. Freezes and I have to force kill.
I just did a factory reset last night and it seemed to clear up alot of my issues I'd been having since ICS, but I guess Plants vs Zombies isn't compatible (at least not the Amazon version).

Interestingly, it lists my Prime as incompatible... My phone is compatible though.... Amazon lets you buy things that your device is not compatible with. I got the Kindle Fire version of Asphault 6 by mistake, but luckily it was only .10 :/
I've been using a version of Plants Vs. Zombies that I found online. It's an HD version that's been working great, and it looks really good. Just try searching Google for Plants Vs. Zombies HD APK. Thats what I did, and I love it.

Thank you I will try this since the version I paid for doesn't work.
There are a bunch of games I've gotten as amazon free app of the day that break in ICS... PvZ, Peggle, and Kona's Crate to name a few. I also have issues with Zen Pinball unfortunately. They are all games that worked on my Prime and my Gingerbread phones, but don't on ICS. I'm assuming they need an ICS compatibility update, but haven't researched it much yet.
UPDATE: I was just reading through the user reviews for the app in the amazon store and I saw a suggestion that worked for me... clear the games data in Settings > Apps, and the game should load right up.
Thanks. This also applies for the non-Prime TF101 (for Zen Pinball, although I had to run the game 2x after clearing data to get it working). I emailed the developers about the issue yesterday and have now pointed them to this thread.

N.O.V.A. 2 - Google Play Market

DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE GALAXY NOTE.
bummer... i just got suckered out of 49 cents
There is a 15 minutes return period.

I think you have a short time frame to submit a request for a refund.
Speaking of not compatible... I noticed there's a lot of good games that aren't. Being new to Android for the most part - why is that? Seems like the phone has enough power to run them.

No. Most of the games that "aren't compatible" with the Note would run fine. My Xoom runs these games flawlessly and it has the same resolution on a larger screen and isn't as powerful. The Note is plenty powerful enough and virtually all of those "incompatible" games can be made to work with relatively simple root changes and sideloading. Search around a bit and you can find info on it. N.O.V.A. 2 running on the Note is nothing new....
Good luck.

I've heard that if youchange the build.prop with the international galaxy note like n7000 somehig like thy Cynthiaa think of the top of my head but I heard that would make it "compatible" LOL

I bought this as well. Contacted Gameloft support because the return function didn't refund the app. They gave me a link to download N.O.V.A 2 HD which FC's when you start a new game still trying to get my 49¢ back after a days worth of emails.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
I tried changing the build.prop to show as the international version. It worked and allowed me to download the additional game data. Strangely modern combat 3 worked perfect but games such as 9mm and asphalt 6 didnt work correctly. Asphalt had a strange camera angle where you are shifted to the right so itz unusable and 9mm has a pink color on the start screen. Probably due to the different hardware. I downloaded the adittional data for Modern COmbat 3 and changed the build prop back to the att galaxy note. Atleast i got one "incompatible" game to work
This happened to me as well, emailed google 3 times but no reply yet...
I can't even find the game in the market anymore, or in my apps.
please update once anybody gets a refund or get this game to work.
It should say incompatible before you actually pay.. I tried it with one of the other games and I clicked buy it started downloading and when it tried to install aborted and said incompatible, and I wasn't charged even though I authorized purchase...
Just side load. Did it with nova off my a500

Thanks for the heads up. I was kinda pissed that Deadspace wouldn't load and that did the trick. I actually tried that when I first opened it, but it seems to work better if you tap just below the loading bar.

Modern Combat 3 On Sale for 49 Cents Today

I know Modern Combat 3 isn't officially supported for our device yet but just wanted to share that it is 49 cents today on the new Google Play Market. Grab it now while its on sale so you are ready for when it is supported :

It is possible to buy this game with a prime?
I don`t have any other android devices.
Nice joke Gameloft and suport for Asus xD
Nevermind, Delete.
This is killing me because I just withdrew all the money from my card >.< won't get paid again until next week !!!!
I'd like to get it, but Play won't allow me to purchase it as it's not compatible. You'd think they'd let you buy it anyhoo with a disclaimer.
you can purchase it from the web store front if you dont have another android device

This. I personally just use my gingerbread running Droid charge to buy things that aren't compatible yet. Popular apps will get more compatibility as ICS penetration grows
Unfortunately, I have a couple other Android devices - says it's incompatible with all.
I have 3 android devices
prime-not suported
xperia active- not supported
xperia mini-supported
Now we have to wait for prime support
Supported and runs well on my Samsung Galaxy S2 which is on CM9. It seems ICS is supported fine so I wonder what the problem is.
Works well on my SGS2 running latest leaked build of ICS as well. Tried pulling the APK and installing it on my Prime, but I get a not compatible with device when I try to open it. So we just have to wait until Gameloft decides to support it.
Bought it via my Sensation.... cheers! Here's to a .49 cent investment into the future!
Oh come on Gameloft.. How hard can it be to make it available on the Prime. I've got the impression they dont want my money^^ Its as if they're telling me to use other methods than buying...

What do you mean by that?
On the web android market, there is also a compatibility check.
Or do you mean something else?
I've downloaded quite a few apps that aren't supposed to be comparable with prime yet not had even the slightest glitch yet, shame i guess people gave already tried with this with no luck
