I just wanted to know if anyone else has the same issue. I cannot purchase any Gameloft games from the Market, I can only do it through the Gameloft site. When I try to purchase from the Market it tells me that my phone is incompatible. The reason i ask is because sometimes they have better deals in the market, which are not available on their site. Gameloft is just an example, there are other games that do that also. Is there a work around for this?
Thanks
What is your firmware? Maybe flashing a newer one or a generic if you do not jave it already.

I don't know what could trigger this behaviour, but I would guess is ROM related as the Market doesn't see the phone as compatible. Also could be a Market problem, but I'm not sure.
In theory we could run tegra games from NVidia, but the Market always says device not compatible, so I'm not really sure which fault it is... Some people say you can bypass it with MarketEnabler, but in my case I've found its easier downloading the games from their webpages instead of the Market.
Does anyone know why or know a way to get Monopoly that they just released on the market on the Rezound. It says its not compatible and I am getting no answers from EA games. They just say that they don't have any Pogo games (not even sure what that means cause they have EA games that you can download for this) on the Rezound (makes it sound like its its own system or something). I have been waiting for this game forever and even had a bootleg version that didn't work as well on my Eris. Read it would it works on Bionic and Thunderbolt but not this one???? I am a bit ticked about this. What is with these companies??? I tell you.
Anyhow if anyone knows let me know please. Thanks
I had it on my Incredible and used Titanium Backup to transfer it to my Rezound without any issues.
I got it from the Amazon app store and it works perfectly fine on my Rezound. It was the free app for the day a while back. I don't know why your having an issue...
I also downloaded Monopoly when it was Amazon's free app of the day. I've only played it a few times, it has worked fine for me.
Thanks guys. When I saw it on amazon I grabbed it and it worked. For some reason its the Market that says they won't let it download on the rezound and customer service for EA games was saying the same thing. Not sure what their malfunctions are but it does work. Thanks!
friends,
i got my tfp from gamestop. it came bundled with shadowgun thd. there was a recent update to this game to make it better for tegra3.
issue is that i cant download the update from market! get an error that i did not purchase it!
anyone has been able to resolve this yet?

I got the same thing. The one that came from Gamestop is the Tegra3 version. if nothing major wasn't added, which I didn't notice, I wouldn't sweat it. Same goes for Sonic CD. there is an update but won't let you update from market.
Another reason why pre-installed apps are bad. They are installed the same way a pirated application would be installed. You have not actually bought Shadowgun, you simply have it installed.
To get future updates you either have to 'pirate it again' or buy it from the Market.
properly preinstalled apps are able to be updated (when they're baked into the rom) but the way gamestop has just sideloaded these apps is really annoying, aside from not being able to update them, unless you backup the apk, you will lose the app if you do a system wipe.
i don't know how else they could have given them to us, as afaik android doesn't have things like redemption tokens/keys in the same manner as you get extra stuff with xbox games, but they def need a better way than what they have done.

Yes, I still have problems with Google Goggles, Google Music and other pre-installed apps on my Nexus One. These never report updates and I have to jump through hoops to update them, and these are Google Apps on a Google Device. At least these are free so its just a frustration. For your pre-installed paid apps, you normally need to get those updates from the manufacturer who updates them in their normal update. However, since Gamestop is not the manufacturer I would say you are unlikely to get any updates to your free apps unless you go out and buy them.
Yeah did I factory reset and lost all the GS games:/ looked at the Gs site they should at least made it possible for those that purchased it through GS to be able to redownload it through our account somehow.

I bet they plan on making a version of impulse for android which would be a pre install app store for this stuff. They are just not on the ball since they had to buy that product from Stardock and its been obvious they do not have developers to keep it up.
So, which version do those of us who have the GS TFP have?

Its not so much a version but a package. I would imagine you have the Tegra 3 version, but this was probably a Gamestop package that does not match the market package. This is why it does not update.
You should be able to go into your Manage Applications setting and find the version number installed. You can then compare this with the version listed in the description of the app in the market. This will tell you whether it matches or how different they are.

the reason they don't update is they were sideloaded, so the cert/key/liscence doesn't check out when the market looks for it to update.
what if i uninstall the game and install it again from the backup apk. i recall the first time i opened the game it downloaded. maybe when it downloads this time, we may get the new version of the game!
would this work?

I talked with my local district manager of GS and told him of this issue. He said he would let the regional manager know and have him pass it up to corporate GS about it. He called BS on this as well. He seemed like A cool guy. I have his number now and will call back in a week or so. And ask. If he has. Heard anything about this

no, what it downloads is the game data (textures and such) if those are updated for some reason, it will download the latest ones, but the app updates won't change since the apk is still the old version. BUT for backup purposes, a TiB of the apk works fine, i had luckily backed mine up (on the microSD card)and had to wipe my tablet, and was able to restore it just fine.

He said that it was BS that GS would release something that you don't technically own. He said we should be able to update the apps when the update does come up since we paid for the apps when we purchased the tablet. He is going to let the regional manager know this and try to get an answer for me/us about what we can do about this. Like I said he was pretty cool about everything.

Well you do own it. They just didn't use an established market (sideloading instead), didn't provide you a hardcopy or remote backup, and did not provide a way to keep it up to date. What's BS is how clueless Gamestop is about technology and specifically Android.
Although I don't have a GS version, I am very interested in what you find out. GS has been trying to get into the tablet market and how they handle this would be a good indication on how successful they will be at it.

So I bought NBA Jam on Google Play today, which works great on my i9100. I tried to copy it over to my touchpad, and am having no luck so far. I copied the com folder from android/data and installed the akp, but it still bounces off EA's servers and times out for some reason.
tl;dr Has anyone gotten NBA Jam working on the touchpad without resorting to piracy? Thanks
Have you tried downloading it from Google Play? Do you use the same account on both devices?

It might just be that. My app was causing issues with modified Build Props too. If you have a back up of your Build Prop prior to tweaking it, try to load it up.

This game does work for ICS. I run it on my g2 with andromedous rom and it works fine. I tried every which way of getting it on my touchpad but it won't work. Titanium backup way didn't do it. I manually placed the sd data and it still won't play. Seems like most EA games have problem with touchpad.
edit: i just tried to change my dpi from 120 to 160 and still no go. manually place sd data. tried to d/l data....nothing. i keep trying and will let you guys know if i get it working somehow.

When I try downloading Sims Freeplay, I get the same 5002 error as well. Haven't tried NBA jam yet.
Only EA game I got to work is Madden NFL 12.
For all EA Games, we can't download the SD Data due to a "5002" country gate error. This is the "workaround" that EA provided me with. I haven't tried it yet because I haven't had the time. Good luck:

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Electronic Arts and for taking the time to write us with your thoughts and questions regarding Dead Space and the 5002 error you're receiving.
I apologize for the delay in my response, and I understand how frustrating this issue can be. I'll do everything I can to resolve this for you!
This is a possible workaround for the issue you're experiencing. Note: This requires another android device, such as a phone for the workaround.
Download the game and any updates to your android phone, then copy the files to the same location on the Tablet device, the file location should be:
/android/data/com.ea.deadspace_na
There may be a couple of other drivers you may need to also install.
This is a possible workaround, and I cannot guarantee this may work, but it's one solution some of our customers have mentioned success with!"
I've had dead space and need for speed hot pursuit working. I used a titanium backup from my g2. Usually works because they both snapdragon andreno series.
Nba jam just won't do anything. I've exausted every possible way one can get a game to work. It will not work. Better luck to someone else.
Btw, the game is worth the headache if some1 does make it work. It play on g2 and is amazing. So much fun.

Hi Ive been trying to root my Nabi 2 tablet to access the Google Play Store. Ive downloaded ADB and followed instructions, Ive also got the correct drivers etc, when i ran the root tool by jmz I chose option 1 and it ran through the process, is there anything else I need to during during this as I then booted up and it was just the same as before?! Im normally an apple fan and experienced in jailbreaking etc but this is my first android as Im trying to exchange all my apple devices for android lol. Can some help me find a step by step full tutorial as Ive been trying to follow the one in this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1905674 but I cant understand what else I need to do?! Thanks in advance
Anybody?! JMZTAYLOR if you see this can you please write a quick tutorial on what I need to do as Im clearly doing something wrong. Its probably just something so simple Im missing?! Any advice would be highly appreciated, sorry if this post is extremely noobish Im normally very adaptable!
Any Luck?
I was just wondering, it's been over a month with no post here. Did you get it working? If so can you post your solution or a link to the thread with the solution you used?
Not sure about the root tool for your device, but any good root tool will install a superuser app, such as Superuser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
Not sure if you got your issues sorted yet but if you go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 I am sure someone could help you. I just rooted 2 in about 20 minutes over the weekend. Good luck
There's no need to root the nabi for the play store...
http://everythingnabi.blogspot.com/2012/08/googlie-booglie.html
Interesting, except for step 21:
21. Do not update or attempt to install any apps, as it will force close the Google Play Store. The apk file installed is not fully functional on the nabi 2 Tablet. It does however allow for the purchase of Books, Movies and Music. The following pop-up will appear if you attempt to update or purchase an app.
If you root you will have a fully functional Play Story as well as text AND video on Google Talk plus many other features

I want to get Google Play working on my son's Nabi 2 as well, but I'm pretty concerned over the touch calibration issue some people are having on the ROM thread about rooting it. I've only had one android device (my galaxy s2) and thought about rooting it, but couldn't find an overly compelling reason to do so. Now that the Nabi 2 needs it, I would be loathe to brick it/mess it up to get this calibration issue. Even if I try on my s2, this Nabi seems a tad different for some reason.

That is a very rare issue. If you root it and have a problem with the touch screen it only effects recovery software once it's rooted and gapps installed you won't have to go back to recovery.

It is indeed a rare issue, if the script goes fine, you shouldn't have to do anything in recovery yourself anyway. Here is the gapps.zip that fixes the 'android upgrading' on every boot.

It's written for Ubuntu, but the commands are easy to adapt for Windows as well. You install adb and fastboot differently and you remove 'sudo' from the commands.

Do you really need Google Play?
Nabi 2 works great with Amazon App store (over 50,000 apps). Ex. Unless I installed Minecraft PE, my son would have 2 tablets for Christmas, his with no minecraft and mine with. In daddy mode you can get amazon and the installed apps are manageable in the add/remove to decide which apps to allow your child to see. PS: DO NOT add Amazon store to Nabi mode (unless your child is older, or unless your rich and don't mind your child maxing out a credit card on apps). Personally, I have jailbroken ipads for friends and rooted my last Motorola phone, but I wouldn't risk and consequences of screwing up your child's brand new tablet. You can go from Hero to Zero if you mess up.
