Hi guys!
Is it just me or the galaxy tab is really bad at running applications? I cant believe that running a 2D game such as xconstruction would run extremely bad on the tab due to the streching of the screen. In addition, I have downloaded many applications and games and ended up uninstalling around 60% of them because they dont run very well, while others show nothing but a black screen!
I am really shocked by the poor performance of the tab! This device is full of conflicts! Some 3D games run very well while most run badly. Browsing is good but pdf viewing is laggy and bad! I have always admired google and defended Tabs with honeycomb against iPad, but I think I will have to revert back to iPad for the sake of a market filled with applications and excellent documents viewing quality.
I hate being biased, but the Tab 10.1 lacks the performance despite of the Dual Core processor and 1Gb ram. What do you guys think? I welcome hearing positives and negatives about it. Would anyone be kind enough to recommend apps that are fully working with no bugs? The same goes to games suggestions too!

not MANY apps*
i have never really had any kind of problem with running games on my tab i think one or two have just had a black screen or forced close but they were phone aps that didnt look too good anyways
you may have a cluttered up tab that means that it doesnt run very well but other than that i dont really know why games arnt working
a few good games are apparatus, spirit, fieldrunners hd and superstick man golf which all work perfectly on my tab
hope ive helped
Use the apps and games from http://www.tablified.com/. They all are optimized for tablets.

I really don't think you can blame the hardware for an apps poor performance. If you really want to see what the hardware can do play some of the THD games from Tegrazone app.

i've never had problems in running games or apps. smooth performance and a lot of applications! beside the really poor battery-perfromance, my 10.1v is a dream

Thanks for the correction for the word "many" apps. It is true that English isn't my first language, I think that's the effect of a sleeping pill heheh.
Thank you all for passing by. I will have a look at the link suggested and will try the games that were menioned. I do like the way games run in the nvidia tegrazone, yet some are a bit poor reaching the required Fps.

Sentinel 3 Homeworld is the best tower defense game out there for tabs!
I know about around 400 apps they are running on the 10.1 inch tab. Where do you live? Android Market or google issues?

Couldn't have been said better, Totally agree!
This might be a noob question but do HD games actually run on the Nook Tablet? coz i tried running some Samsung galaxy s games on it and they crash on start..
What device games will run best on the NT? I presumed the SGS games would be most compatible Because of same GPU (sgx540) though it has a smaller screen.. Still almost none of the HD games of SGS work and about 30% of other powervr games run sucessfully.. I have a rooted Nook tablet btw
Is this happenning to others as well? will there be better compatibility once custom roms are made for NT.. and extremely noob doubt (im new to android)- isn't HD supposed to be 1080p? so are hd games running at 1080p?
Any game that has THD in its name requires tegra 2 which doesn't work on the nook tablet.
The only HD games I have read working are angry birds hd. That's it.. Everything else is standard graphics.. You can try modifying your build.prop so you can get more apps to run...

Hello satan,
I would recommend reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19704560
_______sig starts here______
Even you were a beginner once
If this post helped click the thanks button!
remember QTIP - Quit Taking It Personal
If by hd you mean like strait 1080p dont know about that. But if you mean like console quality games yes it plays them very well, nova 2, grand theft auto, dungen defenders 2 (that one is in the android market) the others i got from sources i cant name here. And many others, i have a bunch of 3d first person shooters and others that just purr with the graphics on the highest settings this has a very capable chip set. I have an htc hd2 any game that is made for that will run on the nook tablet. I had some games that the phone couldnt handle they would bog it down but they run perfect on this. So look for games that run on the htc hd2 theyll work for sure. Ive had issues when i find games that have different versions for different phones most wount run. But it just happens that i have that phone and any game that will play on that will play on the tab thats the most help i can give you.
I know World of Goo and Osmos both work very well on the NT, and with awesome visuals. I haven't tried many other high-quality games, though.
I made a video here showing various HD games playing on the NT.
By far, the best looking game IMO is Modern Combat 3. (Video here.) It just looks and plays beautifully. It's the game you run to show people what the NT is truly capable of.
As dodgepot posted, definitely look through the games thread, as much of the how to/which/where to get has already been gone over.
i recently found dead space HD works awesome on the NT. very good effects n' such.
List your absolute top ANDROID games
This thread was created to bring awareness to ANDROID tablet users of games worth mentioning from the ANDROID MARKET.
PLEASE EMBED VIDEOS WITH YOUR REPLIES TO MAKE THE THREAD A MORE ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE
EXAMPLE:
1. Anomaly: Warzone Earth HD for Android
Great game for those who love strategy games
Video Preview of game:
Whale Trail. Hands down. So much fun, well optimized for an ICS tablet.
Here is a whole thread about which games work for us.
I'm into Osmos HD, Quell and Zen Pinball THD atm.
Cheers
Riptide GP, Zen Pinball, Reckless Getaway, and Galaxy on Fire 2 THD had been my favorites until yesterday when I was able to downgrade my firmware to 9.4.2.7 ICS and now, I'm playing my Gameloft games- Modern Combat 3, Backstab HD, and Asphalt6.
Basically i like everything that has gamepad support
So GTA III, ShadowgunTHD, Sonic 4, Zenonia 4 (just started it, heard it sucks later on because of its payment system/balance - i HATEHATEHATE FreeToPlay Games. They always end up being no fun without paying (endless grinding), and no fun if you pay either (too easy). Its just such a bad thing for gaming... WHY?), PSX&N64 Emulator games, Riptide GP, Samurai II. Yeah.
Touch games only work for me if its something like Where is my water, or Angry birds. This "virtual" joystick thing is just bad - especially on a tablet. Almost as bad as FTP games.

Yeah, op is a little late in the game. The one I made already well established with a very extensive list with links and is already a sticky thread. Plus this should be n QnA section since its a question thread..thing is there's already a few threads on this already.
I dunno. 'What are your top games?' and 'What games work?' are two fairly different but valid questions if you ask me. I don't personally want to pour through every working game to find the gems. I might be interested in knowing what everyone can't live without. However I'm really not all that interested in either for some reason. I used to love gaming. Something's changed. Hopefully it's just temporary.

If your not interested in games, don't bother posting. This thread is intended for those who are interested.
Duplicating a thread already in place.
Nearly resolved just need the following confirmed :
1.Shadowgun/Dead Trigger works smoothly.
2.Temple Run works flawlessly.
3.1280x720(yes 720p) mp4,mkv,m4v videos play via stock player smoothly(i.e video&audio in sync , no artifact in videos)
4.Does the phone feel slow or lagging.
Thanks for your time & help.
Answers :
1.Yes
2.Yes
3.Yes with mx player not stock player cause it plays via software decoding (cpu supports it so no problem) not h/w...
4.No
Games that are confirmed to work smoothly :
Asphalt 7
Shadowgun
Dead Space
temple run
Dragon Fly
World of Goo
Draw Something
Cut the Rope
Angry Birds
Triple Town
Amazing Alex
Doodle Jump
Riptide GP
Hi, i tested this games:
Dragon Fly, World of Goo, Draw Something, Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Triple Town, Amazing Alex, Doodle Jump... OK
GTA III - problem, after one minute game crashed and phone was automaticly restarted.
Do you want watching 720p? I think One V will be better choice for watching 720p.
It's a nice gaming phone, if you don't play anything too heavy. :fingers-crossed:

Exactly, there isn't much else anyone can say to answer your question, other then to send a complaint to the makers of those games.
The video on youtube you keep referring to shows a Samsung Galaxy S3 having trouble with those games. Now remember, just buying a Samsung Galaxy S3 will set you back about 50% of the money a desktop pc would cost that IS able to run more demanding 3D graphics and better suited to play games that have those graphics.
Now I have nothing against gaming, I do it myself all the time, but I do it on my home pc, which is much more comfortable. The makers of these games are not going to spend the amounts they do on desktop versions of their games for the development of phone versions of their games, because the market is much smaller and the price they can ask it is much lower. I understand you're angry that you spent (unless you just downloaded a cracked apk lol) money on them, but I'd stick to simpler ones if you really want to game on your phone. Just for kicks, I tried Punch Hero and it ran just fine. Reminded me of playing Punch-Out on the Nintendo 8-bit as a kid.

Thread about Desire X gaming Not PC(Though that awesome too) please stay on topic for this has gone really really off.
Only one post with relevant info....
dead space works pretty good ! for the 3d games . order and chaos too

Hi guys hoping to buy a Desire X (or ONE V) soon but heard of a lot of negative reviews on gaming so please post on which games work and in what condition on this phone Thanks.(would prefer this to one v but for gaming and 720p video playback.)

I play Asphalt 7 and Riptide GP with no issues here. Re One V make sure you can live with 512MB or RAM if you go for that. It won't get an official JB update either (due to the RAM limitation).
Thanks everyone all your input was much appreciated.

If you check the forum, you'll find another post about this ...
To my experience, bottom line on the Desire X and video : the Desire X plays up to 1080p, both streaming and from storage, without problems. I tested different media players, best ones are MX Player and Vplayer and tested all resolutions. In mp4 format, playing from storage, most of the players have audio/video sync issues. Not in flv 1080p, so it's down to the software. Streaming, just using stock Youtube app, all of them work fine.
When specs say the Desire X supports only up to 480p, it just means that's it's native resolution (800x480), but it'll play higher resolutions without a problem, depending on the media player, the format and whether it's streaming or from storage.
That's from my experience. Hope that's on topic enough for ya.

I recently just discovered that my Motorola Xoom has a Gyroscope sensor! I've seen what this can do for games on the iPhone/iPad (like the incredible first-person-shooter accuracy in Shootout), and I want to try it out myself, but I have an Android. I've been scouring the googles for over an hour, looking for a list of gyroscope-enabled games for android, and so far all I've found is people who are incredibly confused as to what exactly a gyroscope is, in that it is not an accelerometer, and they just end up listing accelerometer-enabled games. Or I find lists of iPhone-only gyroscope-enabled games.
So does anyone know of any good games for Android that make use of the gyroscope, NOT just the accelerometer? I'm not talking about sensor-graphing apps, I have one of those, its how I found out I have a gyroscope.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I discovered "9mm" by GameLoft, it is a GREAT fps, if you are willing to play an FPS on an Android, and it has an "enable gyroscope" option in the settings. Unfortunately, maybe it was because my Xoom just doesn't have the hardware to play it (theres no graphics settings), but I didn't get what I expected out of the gyroscope. It felt just as inaccurate and clumsy and difficult as an accelerometer-inferred FPS. But maybe that was because of the amount of time it was taking to process the gyro on my Xoom, along with the 3D graphics of the game; I wasn't getting a very good framerate.
Also, I've heard that apparently "N.O.V.A. 2", and I guess one could infer NOVA 3, support the gyroscope for aiming. But I don't really enjoy playing FPSes on a mobile device, especially one as big as a tablet.

Why would I do that? I already have a gyroscope. And I can't afford a new phone.
But man oh man, I wish we had a list like this:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gyroscope-apps-and-games_id15299
EDIT: A lot of the apps listed in the above iPhone list ARE actually available for Android!
UPDATE
There's a hell of a lot of gyroscope-enabled games for Android now!
- Pretty much ANYTHING made by Gameloft, including Asphalt 8 Airborne, NOVA 3, and Modern Combat 4
- Real Racing 3
- That iPhone gun shooting range game that started all of this? Shooting Showdown is now available for Android, and it is gyro-enabled
- Voxel Rush
There's lots more too!
A tilt 3d labyrinth
