[Q] Not able to download some apps/games :( - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how come i'm not able to download some of the games or apps on play store? Such as Mass Effect Infiltrator or Max Payne. I was able to download with GT-N7000 but not on I9300 :/

What exactly do you mean you can't download some games, do they actually appear when you search for them or do they fail during download?

They don't even appear on play store :/ is every I9300 not compatible with these games?

He's not marked compatible. If he really is incompatible is another question but the developer has to make it available for the device.

You've got a 15 minute return window, use it. Then download Osmos HD.

Big game names in market!

Is it me or is almost none of the big games from the big developers available for the galaxy s3?
Almost all big name games says not compatible for your device.
Even games that does work they have startet removing for the galaxy s3. 3 days ago I bought Max Payne mobile for my galaxy s3 and it worked fine. Today when I installed new rom I noticed it didnt install Max Payne on first boot so I went to market to install it manually and now Max Payne too says not compatible with your device.
Same with alot of games. They dont even show up in market and if you search for it in web play store most of them says the same. Almost no games from electronic arts or gameloft, also searched for Galaxy on fire. Same.

Sounds like an issue with the ROM and how it identifies the phone to the Play Store. Nearly all Gameloft games are showing for me, as is Max Payne.

When you say showing do you mean you can see it? because so can I but it says device not compatible if I go look at description.

I'm having the same problem, max payne and fifa don't show up in a search on the play store. on a pc google play says my device isn't compatible but recognises it as an s3
Same here...
modern combat 3 looks good
Downloaded N.O.V.A 3 yesterday,says not compatible when run.
On XXLE8 FIRMWARE I was able to download and play fifa 12 and dead space. I then updated to XXLF2 ota. After updating I reset the phone and was no longer able to download and play these games. Someone said EA may have added the gs3 to the not supported list. Is any one still on XxLE8 that can check if these games are still available obviously that firmware ????

I tweeted gameloft about this when I first got my sgs3 complaining that it worked on older devices, my sgs and my asus transformer. They said it takes them a while to optimize the games to specific devices.
I used Chainfire3D to add tegra game support to my phone.

Make Device Accept all games

Hi i want a help with a problem. i have lg p500 with ICS9.
my device can play games like pro 12 , etc... but google play when i try install games like those says. that my device is not compatible. how i can change that?
because there are some good free games that i want to install but i cant because of this.
Those games generally use libs compiled for armv7 and our phone is armv6. That's why a bunch of games won't work. If you look at Google, sometimes you can find a modified version for armv6 but the performance is not guaranteed.

for example my phone google store says cant play pro 12.. but i can play it with no lag..
how i can fix google store ? : P so to dont take same message all time.. that cant play the games?
A lot of games legitimately won't work because they're not compatible with our hardware i.e. force close immediately on launch. I think you might need to change build.prop but I'm not even sure that will do it.

galaxy s3 _Temple run issue(Lag)

hey guys
i bought S3 two weeks back
it runs smooth but when i play temple run it starts lagging like when i try to turn by swiping it keeps going straight
the game works fine for initial minute or two. even on Google play store, reviews of S3 users for temple run mention this problem
I tried turning power saving mode off , hard reset but no luck
has anybody else having the same problem?
i have played it on my ipod and it irritates me that i cant play like it on my new phone so plz help me resolve the problem,
Contact the developer .
jje
Hard reset for a game?("-_-)
If you purchased the game I'd simply suggest you upgrade to the latest version (as I've got the game on my s3 and works perfectly).
If you downloaded it from somewhere then either its a dodgy version or the way they've cracked it is effecting game play.

I downloaded it from Google Playstore only and it was free
Other games like Asphalt 7 or Shadowgun are working fine
Oh I was referring to the ''Brave'' version. Are you running any custom rom that could be interfering.

GO Launcher

Hey there
So i downloaded Go launcher.
Well i downloaded a free themes from go launchers section, but it just wont apply
Why is that?
Can anyone help me out
Google Earth will be available on the playstore, so check there.
In regards to the movie, i believe that was only for the N7.
I knew that charging is slow.
But this slow? In 55% for 25 mins

Go to your Googles Play movies. Ice Age is the free movie you get. You can download it for offline use as well.

You don't need an app. Just go to Google Play on the web, sign in, and it will be there.
