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

Hello to all the XDA community.
The following post is for those who do not feel as comfortable with the galaxy s2 device, with its Mali-400 graphics chip, although the chip itself is very powerful not provide all the features to play the most beloved games in the today. Among those who find: Sprinkles, shadowgun etc etc.
In my opinion, the cell is very fast and I really like the screen, but unfortunately when I take the iPhone 4 of my girlfriend i want to have it for me, because although the chip A4 already has more than a year now can run games that Mali -400 could not run, it's very stressful having to root your phone to play with chainfire3D, only a few games.
I ..... loving samsung galaxy line. This phone will definitely change for the iphone 5
Why? it seems unfair that i have a cell phone much better than the iphone 4 but unable to play most of the best games.

If you wanted a phone mainly for games, you should have got an iPhone.
As ask Gameloft,EA and others to release Game for the phone...

Okay.
Don't buy something unless you know what you're buying. You're gonna be real disappointed when you buy a car and then find out that it doesn't fly or make you bacon.
You're not gonna get much help here, coming into an Android forum and telling us that our phone can't do something an iPhone can. It's not conducive to helpful responses, as it sounds like trolling and is a pointless statement.
It's because game developers are not using industry standard filtering and texture compression for the games. Mali 400 supports industry standards only, so when a game uses a propriety Nvidia or Power vr or whatever branded code, it won't work because to support the code, you need to pay licensing fees to have the hardware support the code.

It does take a nice amount of ****tardation not to realize that iOS is a better platform for games. Next time you'll look more closely before you throw your money on something: don't blame Samsung/Android, blame yourself. Now bye.

Really? Is it stressful?
You should put more effort into deciding what devices are right for you before buying them...
Aside from the GS2 being arguably the best phone available right out of the box for everything aside from tegra-optimised games (which as others have stated is due to developer's lack of support for industry standards used by the GS2 rather than the other way around)... Like most android devices it's most suited to those who like to tinker and customise.
Buy an iPhone 5.

Send me your GS2 then? As you seem to prefer your iPhone anyways.
I'll find a good use of it.

Yes I was dissapointed that my car didn't make my bacon.
Maybe I should have went to XDcAr and read up on it first to find out that my car could not do it before I bought it.
My car does fly (at an altitude of 0.01mm) - but only where there is no speed cameras about.
OP,I feel ya.When I bought my GS2 I was really disappointed that it didn't make coffee.I called Samsung to solve my problem,but they insulted me.They were very rude man.They told me "Go buy a f*cking coffee machine!".But I bought the best phone available!Can't I do it with an app?
Seriously,although that was a terrible joke,what did you expect man?Nothing is perfect,get over it.My PC can't play Final Fantasy XIII.AND it doesn't support something like Chainfire3D to play PS3 games(**** if it did ).Get over it.Even if you want games that much,there are gazillions of nice games in the Android Market,and more are bound to come.And with the success of the GS2 it's only bound to get better.Just get the heck over it.
Dont entirely blame it on a device for your shortcomings also. Learn to accept some of the blame and you are on your way to maturity.

Anyone know what the scrolling ticker widget seen at the start of this video is called?
oh come on peeps why all the harsh replys!!!
he asked a decent question , yes its easy to say if you wanted games buy an iphone4 , at the same time it is still a decent question .
its a shame that the mali is getting left out the cpu/gpu combon on the sgs2 is immense and very very powerfull it would be great to have games like the one linked avalible
i knew the sgs2 wouldnt have every iphone game but when i see games like this i do think , my phone could run this easy and i wouldnt mind playing it , whas wrong with that and asking why the sgs2 doesnt have games like this
maybe it isnt as easy to code for?? we have over 10 million sgs2 users now so the market is there , is it devs being lazy and not porting it , is it hard to port things to the mali , from chainfire 3-d it doesnt seem like its hard to apply stuff to get games working that are coded for say nvidia but what about how hard it is for gameloft to make these games for the mali
to the op , dont worry about some of the negative awnswers i thought it was a decent question and i do think its a shame the mali is being left out a bit when it is soooooo dam good with soooooooooo many users worldwide
have a good day everyone and maybe try to be a bit nicer to fellow users , treat others as you wish to be treated springs to mind as does if you have nothing nice to say maybe dont say anything 2 pages of people taking the mick out of the op for asking a sensible question and saying things like ''my sgs2 wont make coffee'' is just a bit out of order really and isnt anything like what he was saying

Some people on these forums really take their phones too seriously. Why all the nasty and snide remarks?
I wish Shadowgun was on Android! Runs pretty good on my iPad 1. But damn it would look good on the GSII screen.

SG2
hello to everyone.
Sorry if I offended, some of the users that have this phone.
is not my intention to devalue the SG2, but actually I think that to be the best phone should support any things without any problem, maybe it's difficult because different graphics chip, ATI may start manufacturing their own as well. possibly be deciding whether Nvidia or ATI.
the cell phone itself is very fast and the screen size is the maximum that I would buy for a smarphone to me is very good
If you wanted to phone Mainly for games, you got an iPhone Should Have.
I think all cell phone makers have to have this in their creations, to avoid incompatibility and make users
samsung unfortunately not put the grates 2 in the SG2, definitely would be a very good phone for games too.
but really do not see it? A4 over a year on the market and is still compatible with current games.
many people have the SG2, samsung should invest money so we can play these lines did not sell many games SG2?

In fact in the post, you can read the game plays perfectly on the iphone 4. and need not have any application, just download it and install it ready.
I am very interested in doing running in the SG2 can you help?

Well,I don't think anyone here was actually offended,nor do I think that anyone tried solely to insult you.It's just a matter of asking credible things.Whatever the iPhone is,its architecture and the software it supports haven't changed much(If at all) since the first iPhone.Every version follows the same principles,uses hardware of the same "Family" (eg PowerVR GPUs),so whatever new comes out for a new iDevice,it will instantly become available for its older bretheren.Android is different.I don't think that it will be long before you see this kind of games on the GS2 if you ask me,so in my opinion you should just keep the better device.Guess which one solves the "X=Win" equation.
Kind enough for everyone here?
Just got a Sony S Tab yesterday and was wondering, is there any hope for rooting this superb device?
I have looked around and it seems like know one has managed this yet. My main reason would be to change build prop so that i would be able to play games like 9mm, modern combat 3 and tintin.
So, have i bought a great tab just to play games like angry birds and the like.
Any advise would be great.
Cheers,
David
Root will come eventually.You've just got to be patient
I'm also really hoping the tablet s gets rooted. There's a bounty going in the developer thread for almost $1000 for anyone who can figure out how to do it, so hopefully that'll entice someone to do it.
As for running those incompatible games we're pretty stuck for now. I honestly think everyone should be emailing gameloft asking for them to just fix it so we can buy their stuff. Surely they'd do something if they thought the demand was high enough... but then again who knows lol
Either way, we're going to have to be patient and wait for root. Hopefully someone else may know a method to make the games work now so that's worth researching tho
Patients is my middle name....NOT. I WANT IT NOW.Sorry, i got carried away. Gameloft could make alot more money if they expanded their coverage on different devices. With all that loveliness of a big screen, 1gb ram, Tegra2 and super resolution you would think they would have the knowledge to integrate their games.
Anyways, enough of my ranting, i wish i was technically minded, i would take the money and make this a incredible experience for all.
D.
My guess is if you could force it to load, they'd work just fine.. being tegra2 and all. I emailed them requesting their support of the tablet, listing in-compatible games.
Also questioned as to why you can get N.O.V.A. 2 off their website as a demo with ingame purchase of the full game, that works just fine, yet it is "incompatible" on the android market. To this they said "we have no information specific to the title you are inquiring about".
Got the general, allthough there are no set plans, yadayada, developers working hard, blah, your suggestions are forwarded to our dev team.
etc!
So yeah I agree, shout loud enough and we'll be heard.
Download N64oid and play Mario 64 ;]
I think Tin Tin works. I think i played it on my tablet.
If TinTin works then I am really confused. On the Marketplace it does not show up.
Check this out! Sony Tablet S has been successfully rooted
I know, if this baby gets rooted then it will make my day
Root's finally arrived guys! Just check over at the development forums.
Now that i have root would anyone have a suitable build prop to "trick" marketplace so that i may install my gameloft games?
Cheers, happy days, eh.
David
Quick heads up. Changed build prop and games now show up in marketplace and install and run perfect
Model=A500
device=acer
Name=picasso_generic1

Ps. Thats it,all my internal memory is run dry, I have a 32gb sd card just sitting their but games dont see the sd card because Sony set this up all wrong.
Anyone be able to play this game on the Note? All the button controls are below the screen. Cant play it. Any solution?

Just emailed the developer. He/she can't do anything about it for now. Too bad great game.
I remember reading that the only problem we have is that the game recognizes us as an actual Tablet, one of the smaller ones though, and I can't imagine that it would be very difficult for them to fix that, but I guess they have other priorities.
EDIT : STILL NOT FIXED (can someone play the game with a ParanoidAndroid tablet rom ?)

+ Many users can't join online games after buying the humble bundle version of the game ... plus Trendy Entertainment seems to have dropped support for mobile version of the game...
Hello,
I wanted to know if the problem was fixed before buying the humble bundle which includes second wave :
http://www.humblebundle.com/
Thanx
As many of you found when you first initiated your tablet, there were 2 "HD" games pre-loaded onto our Jetstream's.
·Let's Golf 2 HD
·NFS: Shift HD
Now, as we all know, gaming support for our expensive tablet has been well, very slow.
But what I want to talk to guys about today is if the games available to us through the Play Store are, or are not High-Definition games? Because the "HD" part on most icons is missing?
Are "HD" games nVidia Tegra only? Is that the issue?
Should I not worry about it?
Secondly, and evermore disconcerting is that I've been looking through the Reviews sections of most popular games, and I haven't yet found a single review, from any of us...
Does that mean that us Jetstream users aren't buying games?
Please reply.
I have the wheres waldo game.
