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.

I can't find battleheart on the market when I use my phone. Via market online, my device is grayed out. Is this just me, or are others experiencing this, too?
Has anybody experienced this problem or know of a fix?
I found a disclaimer stating this app will not download correctly on Galaxy S and HTC Desire handsets, at the moment. It's something to do with the fact that it downloads directly to the SD card due to it's size, coupled with the strange way Galaxy S handles memory partitions. Sorry.
Oww, thats too bad. Is there a way I can buy it and restore a titanium backup version of it from another device? It won't let me purchase it.

Maybe. I'm not sure how app/device authentication happens. Otherwise you could take any paid app and put it on multiple devices, which is stealing. I know you aren't but that limitation might stand in your way.

Email the developer of the app. Simple as that.
good day.
hate to revive an old thread, but for anyone else having this problem, try the amazon app store. for some reason the official google app store wouldn't let me buy this game with my samsung captivate, but the android store had no problems with it.
Hello
I have a problem. Whenever I try to run some newer Gameloft games I keep getting fcs right at launch for example dunguen Hunter 2 nova 2
/can someone please help me?
Ya need to download the cache file also...theres a thread with the how to install

Are these paid games or stolen games?
probably stolen, I've been in that position before but files aren't needed...use WiFi to download the files for most games. The best way to enjoy games and updates is to buy them, I have paid for so many apps I'm sure my Google account is worth a pretty penny...lol I'm sure there will be a way to sell android market accounts...lol iMJUSTSAYING
Hmm, having a similar problem with Asphalt6 after buying from the market. I installed, then downloaded the files while on wifi and when I launch the game it fails. I'm trying again. D'oh just failed again. Grrr

You're willing to sell your email? The cracked gameloft games are actually better then retail. The ones you find in the market are buggy. The ones on their site are unreliable.
We all have our share of games. Most have pretty pennies

the problem was that they went supported on GB so when i went back to froyo they work perfect...
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?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
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.

Market link for those who don't already have the game.
Don't have to purchase it either, though I'm not sure if that was already the case or not with the non-THD version. Anyway, just a heads up.
Thanks for the heads up. For some reason it wasn't showing as having an update available but going into the app showed it. I suppose I'd best get on with playing the original game to see what the expansion is like hehe
how do I update the gamestop version?

Unfortunately, you don't. If it wasn't purchased in the market, you don't get an update. At least not that I have seen.

Thats lame. Maybe if I email madfinger they'll help me out.
Does anyone know when the multiplayer for this comes out? Unfortunately it'll be a "freemium" title (must. not. soapbox. grrr.), but I'm still interested in trying it out.

How? I opened the app - nothing
I received mine through a market update, so to each their own.
even
I think this update/addon may have fixed an issue I had with loading up level 7... it was not working for me prior to this update, and I'm now happy that it is loading up fine...
Got the update. For some reason the market was not showing me the update button last night. Thanks for the heads up. This is my second favorite game on my Prime behind Soulcraft.

Hello Keith
Unfortunately there is no other possibility than bying a THD version on the market to be able to update because right now the game is not connected to your google account so your are not able to update a paid app through the Android market. I recommend contacting the seller of your Prime. I hope they will be able to help you somehow.
looks like we're sol.

actually I wrote the developer Friday and told him my situation. couldn't update Gamestop version. so i ended up deleting it to try to by the one from marketplace. well that won't work either. reason being even after deleting the marketplace shows the game as purchased. but when I try to download and install it, it stops and tells me the app hasn't been purchased. so now I'm out of Gamestop version and unable to buy the marketplace version either. I asked them if they could help my situation out by emailing me the apk or something.
I heard back from the developer shortly after I wrote him on Friday and he said he could help me out on Monday. so I'm hoping he will resolve this. I also mentioned others are having same issue as me. I sent a copy of my email to the actual developer and a copy to the madfinger email address.
ill update in this thread on what happens.

I wrote the devs too and they told me I had to buy it from the market or "contact your seller."
Guess I'll be writing GameStop now :/
Update: Good news and sorta bad news
The developer wrote me back today and sent me the latest version of shadowgun apk, The LeftOver pack version. It installed just fine and everything.
BAD NEWS is he sent me the regular version one..lmfao I just wrote him back telling him I had ShadowgunTHD version. The one optimized for tegra3 devices. I asked him if he could send me the apk for THD version. If not then its still cool, and I appreciated his help. He asked me not to redistribute also.
Has anyone noticed their Shadowgun freezing up after playing a while or screen gets stuck n starts jumping? This happened on a later level in Thd version I had. Now its doing it in the regular version playing expansion pack levels also. I got only so far through levels then it'll freeze up. At first I was thinking because I have force gpu rendering on but this happens whether its off or on. The expansion pack, for the little bit I got to play seemed cool. The new levels and weapon. But I thought this added online multiplayer deathmatch modes also. If so, where is it at?
Also happens sometimes playing Six guns. I hate it when it happens. Its not like I'm running low on memory or something.
I get some freezing issues on Shadow gun every now and then, but not regularly. I also have to restart the Prime I order to get it working normally after it happens.
Gamestop has yet to reply to my inquiry about upgrading their pre-installed Shadowgun THD game. Has anyone else tried to contact them about this?
