Nope, Gameloft needs to update it for our GNotes. That is the number 1 game I can't wait to play on this thing, hopefully soon we'll see an update....although not holding breath.

I've found that quite a few games are failing on the Note. Apparently the Note is being reported to the app as being a Tablet, and so they're throwing that incompatible notice... which sucks obviously.

Yes, the main games that I'm interested in aren't compatible just yet. Thankfully my scrabble games are to keep me preoccupied for the moment
you could root the phone and change the build.prop file to reflect the Note as like an HTC Vision or something, then everything should work.

From what I've read I was of the understanding that it would be a low resolution version in comparison to our Notes, is that not correct?

I doubt it, I did this on my gTab and it stretched it out just fine, I think it adapts.
Just try it and see

Will give it shot then, thanks. I'm rooted but haven't messed with anything like that yet, I'll post my results.
Edit - I've changed the build.prop but it must be incorrect in some way. After a reboot, I can see Modern Combat 3 and Real Racing 2 in the Market. I've downloaded them both but neither work. For MC3 I get "This game is not compatible with this device" message and for RR2 it won't even load.

I believe some may be checking the screen resolution on startup, and would then still fail regardless of a build.prop change.

I don't think so, it might be the resolution that it's detecting as well, maybe try setting it to 240.

Did you modify your international Note at all to get it working?
I downloaded MC3 and Real Soccer 2012 both on my phone and they both said "Incompatible request refund" on start up and wouldn't download the files.
So i did some editing on the build.prop. I changed ro.product.model, ro.product.device, and ro.product.name all to GT-N7000. (GT-N7000 is the international note if you didn't realize.) Go figure, after making the change and rebooting, I launched the game and it downloaded all the files needed. And now, the game runs flawlessly.
This is on a less than 2 week old rooted AT&T Galaxy Note with 2.36 Saurom NOT overclocked but it should work on any AT&T Galaxy Note as long as your rooted.
Try it!

Hi, did you find any solution for your phone problem??. I'm also facing something similar, I cannot place outgoing calls when my LG phone(Zain SIM) is connected to 3G network. I used the same SIM in a different phone and it works fine. Then I tried a Batelco SIM and it doesn't work either. Zain says its a problem with my phone. Then I tried VIVA SIM with my phone and it works perfectly. Now I'm totally confused.

Hi Guys,
I have played with my new Galaxy S3 4G now since yesterday and i have a mix feeling about it. First of the videos on the net
Ex: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/lg-optimus-g-att-hands-on/
This i can play on my iPhone which dont have flash but i can not see the video on GSIII. Why is that?
As i understand i cant download Flash either nowdays (actually i hate Flash but i'm puzzled how my iPhone can play them?)
Lastly my GSIII 4G is crashing quite allot, only today i think it happened 3-4 times (even after it updated to latest SW ALI9). I'm just doing a call using Bluetooth or going to options and enter a menu or start the camera....
I'm not all that impressed with the stability to be honest!

Thanks for the link, will try it a bit later. It seems its not working very well on other browsers then Dolphin though, and to be honest my phone is already very buggy and crashes allot so i'm not sure now if i want one more crappy software on it (yes i hate flash to be honest)
I use the global (EU) Galaxy S3 4G model (black color). I'm really disappointed how unstable the OS/software is really. It crashes like once every hour now. Maybe its the Bluetooth headset that makes it jumpy. When i'm on the call it crashed twice and fast re-booted, call was up but transferred to the phone. The sound was badly distorted so i had to hang up and reboot the phone before i could get good sound. Going to test more without Bluetooth now to see. But overall it is unstable even when doing other simple tasks.
I am on 4g. I also think I am on the wrong forum. I am using the american sg3 on t-mobile. I have put my phone to 4g only. That my have something to do with it
I replaced my phone with a new one and its working perfect now. I just had bad luck and got a bad sample.

Seems to me like a Hardware issue, do check with a samsung service center and see
It might not be a hardware issue. It can also be software lated, i.e you have wrong ntp address, its finds some satellites but they are too weak to connect .o Try GPS fasterfix to change your ntp server. Search for it on the forum. Gps test plus is a good app to see the satellites strength .

The data dropping is also an issue for their phones, and the devs seem to be getting a handle on it. The SMS issue is ours, alone. As such we will need help from someone with a DE to solve, I suspect.

In the OP I posted a link on how to access APN. Quoted here > "OK so I was messing around in settings under mobile networks when I pressed carrier settings it immediately FC's settings but when I went back in mobile networks I got two notifications (just ringtone) and I now have access to my APN settings. Weird huh anyone else done this?
Edit: I have to hit ok on the fc prompt and go back into mobile networks before the notification sounds. If I'm fast enough the access point names won't be greyed out anymore"
Be sure to click "save" before exiting editing APN.
This does work. But after changing APN to VZWinternet, we still have the same two problems, i.e. can't send SMS and can't hang up from a phone call.
The problem is not with APN settings. These affect data, LTE, 4g, mms, etc. And we can edit APN for VZW.
I suspect the root of the problem lies in build.prop commands. I made a few changes to build.prop related to network, radio and ril. Result was either no effect or would not boot. This is too complicated for me....
