Hello I have an xperia play and bought some games on Gameloft. So just wandering if it's possible to transfer the same games to use on my galaxy, or I have to purchase the games again.? Also its not very clear which games actually work on the galaxy, the game hub only has a phew games that cannot be it surely.?
I'm probably not qualified to answer this, but I'll give it a stab - assuming you brought them through the Android Market, they're associated with your Google account and you can install them on other devices without having to re-purchase them.
Simply add your Google account to the new phone, go to the "My Apps" page and you find them in your list of Purchased but not installed software.

Gameloft are greedy. The games are imei locked and device specific. So you need to wait for sgs2 compatible games, and repurchase them afaik
I don't approve of their business model, so I simply don't buy or use Gameloft games. They could put games on market, but they would only sell it once per person...
I think it's that greed that forces piracy to prosper honestly I don't support piracy but imagine i already paid over 25 £ to Gameloft and they now want me to pay another 25£ imagine. No wander why the iphone itunes model is much better and android is way to fragmented.

I wouldn't necessarily blame this on android fragmentation..
I'd point the finger more towards the greedy companies, like gameloft, for making their games in such a way that it encourages "fragmentation".
I mean half the arguments against Android are actually based on the companies that provide apps and software, not the android platform itself...
Just my two cents.
Back on topic:
But you gotta admit, gameloft games are pretty damn good.. if not a bit overpriced due to the incompatibility issues..

If you e-mail them they will usually just send you the correct version for your new phone, their customer service is usually pretty good, I've never had to buy the same game again for another device, at least not yet.

There are no versions available via the website and GT-i9100 is not listed yet, you can currently only get them via the Games Hub and some of them look like cut down versions of the games, blocky textures and poor draw distance.
Hi
I bought over 15 gameloft games for my Galaxy S1. I have got now S2 and NONE of those I bought work ( I always save original donwloaded .apk) I emailed gameloft saying as well I can't even access their site as I'm getting NOT RECOGNIZED warning so as soon as I got update I will post it here.

It uses a different GPU to the Galaxy S so it's not likely to work, they will have to release versions for the Galaxy S2, once they do they will probably send you the updated apks if you tell them you changed your phone.
It's a shame Samsung didn't choose to go with the latest PowerVR GPU as that would have made things allot easier, Mali 400MP in the Galaxy S2 does not support some texture compression formats some developers are using so that will also cause problems.
Of course if they just stuck to the OpenGL ES 2.0 specs to start with we wouldn't have this problem.
Hi and thanks a lot for explanation. It is real shame and I hope this amazing phone won't be suffering of too many uncompatible games as that would damaged it's great potential. It is fast like a wind and I can't wait for some polished custom roms like last Darky's 10.6 by which I was really impressed on my Galaxy 1

Is this tablet quality?
I'm looking for an android tablet right now and i'm not sure if this is the right one for me. It's $300.00 at Best Buy which is a nice deal for the specs it has in my opinion.
Should I get it? Or are there any better ones?
It also says that it has 8GB DDR2 RAM!?!? Is that true?
I'm fairly pleased with my WIFI version.
It has 1GB of RAM (775 MB usable for me)
I picked mine up from Best Buy as an open box item (+ $50 off sale), so the cost was very reasonable to me and definitely convinced me to pull the trigger on this purchase. That's still a fairly good deal IMO.
Options for customization/development with this tablet are currently limited. However, you can expect a legit ICS update for this tablet from Samsung sometime in the near future.
What purposes do you have in mind?

I plan to play apps and watch movies. I plan to use this tablet for fun. Such as apps like Dungeon Defenders, Zenonia, etc...
Some high intensive apps. Will it handle it?
I've tested 720p and 1080p mp4 hd movies which played smoothly off SD or USB flash drive with the OTG adapter.
I also tried out Dungeon Defenders, and that was also smooth. It took a long time to download.
This tablet will probably suit your needs.
I hope this is helpful.
I purchased this this tablet yesterday @ Kohls for $99.00. It has decent specs for such an inexpensive tablet. HDMI out, Blue tooth, 4 gig internal storage, MicroSD card slot, 1 gig system Ram, front and rear facing Cams(Not so great in the megapixel dept but it has both cameras!) Dual Core processor.
Here are my issues: It does not have Google Play store on it (It does have the Amazon Store though and some lesser stores as well, but I need the Google play store. Also There is very little in the way of documentation on this tablet. I don't know if it is because of this being a new tablet from Polaroid or not. I would also love to Root this as well. Below are the model number and other important info from the tablet. Any help in getting the Play store installed and also getting this tablet rooted would be surely appreciated! Thanks in advance for your responses

Polaroid S7
fcc: UFKMD7007C0 BN03.01.002.012.01
from the about tablet in system settings:

But what is the price range ur expecting?
Galaxy SII is a good choice.
A: Cheap atm
B: Pretty good spec
C: A lot of roms and very active community
Downside:
Outdated and wont recieve any new Samsung fw updates.
As I said before below 8000 INR
Below 100 euro?
Goodluck with searching. Most of the phones that can handle heavy games are atleast 200 euro or more Just to make sure

A couple of people I know have an explorer. It's not the ideal phone considering the internal memory is less so you won't be able to install many apps or games on it.
I would recommend you go in for a brand like micromax which had better hardware at the same price points.
Send me a pm if you want more Info.

Well there aren't many roms for micromax and also most of em are crappy and they can't handle games for tegra 3 like dead trigger , etc very nicely and they hav lag almost everywhere including the home screen so it's $#!T any other option? Btw I can partition the ss card and use app2sd enabler and fix the internal space problem so it's ok
You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Multitasking 6GB RAM Model
I generally don't let things get out of hand, but I've had no problem running lots of apps on the phone and in DeX mode to a 4K TV with a USB mouse and keyboard, and still running nicely.
If anyone find 6 vs 8gb note comparison video, please share. I'd like to see is there any improvement in keeping apps in background on 8gb model.

heats up little bit
device heats up little bit when playing games or doing some heavy tasks multi tasking works awesome
Compared to other devices I've used, the 8gb Note 9 I'm using is a world of difference. It seems like Samsung nailed it with the way this phone handles having a ton of apps running at the same time. It smoothly transitions between whatever apps I want to use with seemingly no impact to performance

Mine (with apps closed but background processes etc) uses around 2.2-2.5, 5GB free and 600mb reserved by the system.

Well that sounds about right if you've got stuff open. That was only with literally everything on my phone closed so I can't imagine that we'll ever fully see over 6gb available with minimal or no apps but background stuff running. I really can't imagine any 8gb user will run into issues with ram regardless of how much the settings say is available

6 is plenty. I have the 6gig and only keep 3-4 open. It works great. I wanted the 8gig but after looking at a bunch of reviews I couldn't justify getting the 8gig for my type of usage. I don't play any games. Jist YouTube. Text. Browser. Music and a bit of social.

I switched from the s7e exynos to the note 9 exynos. I can tell you from my experience that it's smoother, faster, better to hold in hands without a case, better camera, better audio from speakers/headphones, a lot better battery life and so on + the new one UI shapes to be great too (android P). The difference is there and the phone better + I have the 6GB variant and this + software optimisations leads to quite good RAM management, it's vastly better than the s7e - will recommend you to get the 6GB version if you don't need the 512GB onboard storage (you can put fast sd card for videos/photos on the 128GB model if needed).

Thx man and about storage i dont have an issue as my s7 already have so much space left i think 128gb will be enough also i am just stopping myself from buying it right now cos in india 5g will come in 2019 and note 9 dont have it so i will be paying a huge price for a phone that dont support it ( s10 may support 5g)

Agree, 128GB is plenty. If you can wait, do so for the s10 is my advice (or 2019 phones in general). Otherwise you will not be dissapointed from the note 9.
