Samsung account - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guy's
Don't know if there's a problem with my phone or not but I just tried adding a Samsung account and my phone became virtually unusable. Lagging like crazy.
I'm on the latest BLG8 base with the latest OTA DLI7 BTU Rom from Samsung.
After I deleted the account and rebooted all is good again. Just wondering if it's a general problem with the Samsung account website or just my setup.
Anyway, if you're having bad lagging problems you may want to consider that as a possible solution

I think if you create a Samsung account it by default starts backing stuff up etc, I freeze everything Samsung related with titanium, it's all drivel!

[Q] This app is incompatible with all of your devices.

I went from stock S2 rom to MIUI and so far loving it. However, and this is just a query really, the other night I downloaded GTA 3 from the market.
Now, on MIUI when I browse the market, its not there. Going on the website, it states "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." Well, yes it is.
I know I can prob download it elsewhere, but I paid for this.
Is this cos of the MIUI rom confusing google?
Also, as a bonus question, how can I get a list of all the apps I installed recently.
When I check googles market website, it lists only 3, and I've downloaded like 30.
GTA III will show not compatible with Galaxy S2, no matter what rom you used.
You can download the apk from others. I downloaded it and haven't got any problem so far (Just sometimes the game is force closed.)
For the installed app, I think it will show only the paid one. Mine doesn't show the free app in the previous installed. (Not Sure bout this)
EDIT : Clarify my word a bit
It runs....saw it on drippler

The thing was I downloaded this from the market in the first place. It must of been compatible to let me download it? Because on this market its gone. It like they pulled it.

I think something is wrong, tried to download the natwest app and that's also missing from the market. This MUIU seems to be causing issues which is annoying because I love using it. Any ideas?

I don't think problem is with your Rom. I am using lightening Rom and I have the same problem with some apps I downloaded from market. Maybe its because the newer versions of those apps miss something to be compatible with galaxy S2 or maybe its a market glitch.

Its odd. They dont show up on my phone by going to the market on my pc just says it's not compatible. I guess the only way ill know is going back to my rom backup and see if it works.

Some apps are just not compatible with your phone ( GTAIII is an example, the developers haven't optimized it for SGSII ). You can still download any of those .apks elsewhere, and install them , chances are they won't work ( GTAIII does in fact work , if not by default , then by using chainfire3D). It's not, i repeat, it's NOT a bug in the market , or a bug in the ROM.
Edit: Solved it.

hey, how did you solve this? been at it for weeks no soltuion
And suddenly I can't update Go SMS Pro (v4.33) in my Black i9100 (suddenly says incompatible) while it's normal on my fiance's White i9100.
Both international version, same ROM same installed programs inside, configuration, and version.
This once happeneded to me, maybe your DPI is not compatible with market giving you the error. If its changed return it to the value of 240
Nah, I never mess with DPI settings. Its suddenly like that.
Yesterday I can see it in the market and when it requested to update I just decline it because I wasn't in wifi area and decided to update it today but it now says incompatible. Weird...
While in my fiance's i9100 it downloaded perfectly.
And the build prop is stock. Also here's my config:
XWKL1 stock odexed ROM & Siyah v.12 kernel.
Here's my build.prop: http://pastebin.de/23354

Funny situation is going on there mate. If sync is enabled (background sync+gmail sync) and when u have a 'working' connection, it should trigger and sync on every task u do.
Possible multiple things u can try :
-Wipe gmail app
-Reinstall gmail or update or anything that changes ur current gmail version
- last case scenario, wipe whole phone and reinstall rom or diff firmware?
Thats all i can say since its a rare issue indeed

This happened to me on my tablet before we got CWM and I was pushing my mods. It's just something corrupt. Reinstall the Google Apps and clear your dilvak cache. If that dosent do it. Its wipe time.

Thanks guys i uninstalled and then reinstalled and it does appeared to have worked,hope it doesn't happen again.

Any have a problem with their SGS2 not auto restoring apps?

I often switch between various ROM's from stock to custom, when you enter your google account details, go into playstore and accept it should auto start restoring previous downloaded apps, mine does not. I get a couple of updates to Gmail, Youtube and the likes then nothing, have to manually restore all or use titanium backup. Anyone else have this?
Yes, same!
My galaxy ace auto downloads but s2 doesn't, even though auto update is on

I have this issue too. The only time the auto restore function worked was with the initial installation of CM9 other than that its TB.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes. Mine too has stopped automatically installing.
Having to use TB. Quicker anyway but not he point
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
When I initially installed CM9 a few months back it did it but hasn't done it since. Even now if I go back to cm9 it doesn't do it. Must be an issue with the s2 as the s3 does it.

[Q] [q] getting samsung stuff on cm10

Hey guys, Im a big android fan, I have a rooted galaxy s3, and I love the ROM CM10 as it gives me a stock android experience, however, i came back to the official firmware because there are some things that I just didnt like on CM10, the 3 principal are:
1) The contacts app
2) The messasing app
3) No SmartStay
SO I went back to the official firmware, but I backed up the CM10 gallery and camera (which are the JB ones) using Titanium Backup, and I was able to install them in the samsung firmware.
BUT MY PERFORMANCE WAS SO MUCH BETTER ON CM10, so my question is:
CAN I BACK UP THE SAMSUNG FIRMWARE APPS LIKE CONTACTS, MESSASING, SMARTSTAY, ETC, USING TITANIUM BACKUP, AND INSTALL THEM ON CM10? so I can have the native android experience, but with the apps from samsung that I like?, Im asking because I dont want to do all the installing of cm10 and wiping again, if im not going to be able to get these apps on it, I'd really appreciate your help guys. thanks in advance
no mate. those apps are Sammy framework based

Damn it, the only thing I don't like about cm10 is the messaging and the contacts, and if I could just replace them I would be happy :s

[Q] Simpsons tapped out backup, will it work.

Hi guys,
I want to flash some custom roms on my one x. I really like "Simpsons: tapped out" I'd like to continue playing it. My problem is, that I'm not sure if a Nandroid backup will be enough, since the game is syncing all the time and I don't know where the data is saved.
Does someone have experience with transferring this app to another rom??? What do I need to do??? Is it even possible to properly backup this game???
Thanks already for your help.

Would also like to know this! Was going to send my N4 back under warranty but would like to save progress...
I backup using titanium. Pull the three files out and dump into my tab. Restore and all my info was there. including donuts i had..
Thanks a lot!!
But I think regardless it syncs to ea servers.

It doesn't sync on Android. I don't what is happening when it says sync, but the info on play store says that it has a local save file on Android.
Curious about this as well. I was on recently level 11, and decided to flash a new Rom. As always, I used tibu to back up my apps. I wiped, flashed the new Rom, and restored my backups. I played tapped out for a while, but at one point, all my progress was lost, and it started over at level 1. I cleared the game data, uninstalled, and restored my backup again. Still at level 1. Really sucked to start all over again!

Having the same issue here. I extracted the data file for the simpsons game. I restored it into the right folder after I reinstalled the game but after going out of the game it seems to delete all the saved data I just placed there manually. Someone else suggested using TiBu which I just used but I'm not sure it will work.
I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but it's obviously syncing with a server somewhere, but with no way to log in, it's pointless.

I'm considering editing what permissions tapped out has and going from there. Maybe that will prevent it from syncing but then again it may not work at all after after that

I tried to backup using titanium, buy mystery boxes and if they were bad restore the backup.
Sadly, this didn't work and I'm left with a couple of trees
Pretty sure that means it does actually sync data to servers about money and donuts

Yea it does sync to the ea servers. As far as I know there's no way to change that

Titanium Backup is the truth. Works 100%, restored my Pou and Lane Splitter saves with no problems.

I wonder if the problem has to do with the Google account association of the phone. You know how when you flash roms a lot of times to Google it is if it is now a different device and you lose your Google apps library (well, you have it, but according to Google it is off on a different device.) I really wish Google would let you merge device profiles in the app store.

Yea that would be easier. But it does allow for what you have installed recently at least. I can see what I have installed on my tablet and my phone or at least see the whole list anyways

EDIT: I re loaded the Simpsons backup data file today and I noticed that I can still go in the negative with money in the game but I'm no longer able to go into the negative with donuts

1: How can you go negative with these currencies, I didn't think this was possible?
2: I'd like to move my tsto game from my s2 running cyanogen onto my nexus; would titanium be suitable for this, as they are both bound to the same google account?

The modded apk file did work at one point where it let you go negative both in money and in donuts. Now it doesn't work for me.
I tried using it both on my phone and my tab 2 and that didn't work either but I also at the time didn't use titanium backup. It's worth a try
From what I've been reading people have been having a lot of luck backing up to titanium backup

Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
Ok, I loaded super nexus onto my s2, and used titanium to restore my game. The game loads, and seems ok, then locks up the phone requiring a battery pull. No other issues at all, problem only ever occurs with this app.
Anyone think of any suggestions other than wiping and reloading the app?

Hi guys,
Glad to see someone else is trying to do the same sort of thing as me. I've got a completely stock Nexus 7 (that I don't want to go down the rooting option just yet as it's a shared tablet with the gf) and I'm quite far into Tapped Out but I installed it originally from the leaked APK prior to it hitting the UK play store. I've since googled for the updated APK's as and when needed but now all I want to do is uninstall the "wrong" APK and install the one from the market without losing my progress. (It would also be extremely nice if I could find a way to sync the progress between my Nexus and my S3 but I think that's just a pipedream for now).
Anyone got any clues on how to do it on a stock device?
Well for anyone having a similar issue, have a look into Carbon on the play store from the makers of ClockWork Mod. Backs up apps without needing root. Very good little app.
