Theres a reason they pulled it from Google Play, hopefully when they relist the issue is fixed. I checked the log with alogcat and it was a graphics issue at a point where it loads Qualcomm specific stuff. But its not an issue just with the Touchpad, the same crash is shown on the Xperia S, a supported device with the same Adreno GPU as the Touchpad.

Possibly just a Snapdragon S3 bug then, if your device is the newer Evo 4G LTE which has an S4. There are videos of it working fine on S2 devices with ICS ROMs. (Xperia Play, HTC Desire S)
Just found a video of it crashing on the older S3 Evo 3D. I'm going to have to call this one an S3 bug since 3 different devices all have it and they all share S3/Adreno 220

same problem with the updated play store version. (1.01). crashes and restarts the touchpad whenever I start driving a car. on the newest cm10.
same problem when I was on the newest cm9 fat n creamy.
works fine on my nexus 4.
It appears the S3 bug still exists. From Google Play, some versions of the Galaxy Note have an S3 and there are multiple reviews like this. About all we can do is submit a request on the page in that review reply. Besides that Rockstar's reply is pretty useless, it wouldn't take them long to figure out this bug exists on all S3/Adreno 220 devices and it needs to be fixed by them. But since the Touchpad isn't supported, use a different S3 device like the Sony Xperia S which has an OEM ICS update and is a supported device.

Runs smooth, but freezes when in vehicle everytime
Runs smooth on my Note 1, but freezes in a loop every time I drive a vehicle for about 3-10 seconds of driving. I then have to exit to home screen. Cant get past it. Tried all support in:Crash Troubleshooting for Vice City on iOS/Android. Please fix, can't wait to play!

the same here, amaze 4g snapdragon S3 / Adreno220 , the game crash when i drive a car/motorcycle u.u
Hoping you guys could give me some pointers to even figure out how to get the game to show available in the store, or to get the apk file to load. Found the APK and have the related data files to go with. When installed in the android/obb file folder, the game sits at the "black install" screen and goes noplace.
Tried changing the build.prop to different models and then accessing the Google store for purchase, but nothing I did worked. So either I was doing it wrong, or was missing something that needed to be changed.
Running CM9, but not entirely sure on the build number, as it's my brothers touch pad.
The game works awesome on my Asus TF300T.
Small up... I am very sad because I did not see this thread before so I was spamming Rockstar so they add touchpad on their compatibility list (I thought it was forgeted)
And in parrallele I tried to install it manually... and baaammm TP reboots after introduction video when I start to play... after reboot I try again and second hard reboot... then I find this thead ^^
So I hope Rockstar fix it soon (I am not sure they will).
In the mean time can you tell the settings you tried to get the game pretiest as possible but not laggy on our brave TP ?
I tried full distance with full resuloution and dynamics lights on. It's pretty but laggy so I don't know where to put the cursor to get the best experience ?

Looks like the game got an update recently to fix crashes on the Galaxy S2, which I think has the same processor as the touchpad. Possibly working now???
I just checked on play store... Version is still 1.03 from 18/12... So no change won't work for now
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
No go
Okay, so I did some testing.
Works fine on all play store versions (1.01, 1.02, 1.03) except for the vehicle bug, which causes the Touchpad to lock up and reboot.
I can get into a vehicle sometimes, but 9/10 times it locks up.
The 1.03 version has NOT fixed this bug for us
Keep pushing Rockstar for a fix!

I have need for speed hot pursuit, madden 12, and sim city I purchased from the market they all download, install and play fine on my captivate, but they won't download data the additional data on the flyer. Sim city and madden get to the download part and stay on 0% the whole time, hot pursuit says there is a server error and closes. What's the deal here? Anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I just attempted to use live chat for the issue. I tried Need for speed hot pursuit, and it didn't have the android version as an option for support, so I just selected PC, and when I got in the chat I told him I don't have an issue with the PC version, I am having an issue with the Android version, and he eventually told me he esculated the issue to the appropriate department and they'll contact me by e-mail within the next 24 hours...so yeah i got nowhere.
If there's anything I learned from EA, its that they don't take android seriously at all. Their support is terrible, and they literally let their games be broken for months before they release a patch that fixes the issue, but breaks many other aspects of the game. I actually uninstalled NFS shift on my Captivate because of that. One update broke the steering, and a month went by without a patch, and then they finally updated it, and after the update it no longer worked on my phone, force closed everytime I tried to race. I eventually just uninstalled it.
This is irritating though...I was looking forward to playing these games on a large screen!

Even that doesn't always work...
EA is making me mad. I mean I also contacted Rockstar on why GTA 3 isn't showing up in the market, and I got an e-mail back from them in an hour explaining they are testing it on a per device basis and haven't made it available to the flyer yet because they haven't tested it yet. I also contacted Gameloft yesterday about Nova 2 not showing up in the market and they contacted me back today stating it was an error with the market, and gave me a link for a direct download. EA? I e-mailed them 2 days ago and I've heard nothing back!
IF I had to guess I'd say alot of developers figure there aren't a whole lot of honeycomb devices anyway and Android is moving on to ICS anyway so they just didn't bother to port or get there stuff working right on honeycomb. I"m thinking ICS will fix most of the issues.
Well, I moved back to gingerbread to get my games working. I found a launcher that looks great on gingerbread (see picture near the end of the themes page)- and i haven't looked back.
Btw, would you be able to share the link for nova2? I bought it for my cappy, but it doesn't show up in my market. Actually wanted a tablet to enjoy that game better. I stopped playing it till I got a tab. Then it wasnt available!! Grrrr
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk
Yeah its seeming thats the only way. I really do like honeycomb alot though, hate to go back. I just tried cutting and pasting the sim city game data from my captivate to the flyer, and it fires up, shows the ea logo, and then instantly closes. I think I give up for now. Would be nice if EA wern't such sorry asses and would fix this stuff, but apparently for now the only way is to downgrade to gingerbread.
I found a link on Google that had the additional data for sims. I researched the nan issue when downloading to find it. But id think the captivate one would work anyway. Someone's I wish I could dual boot hc or gb.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk
So If I revert to gingerbread, and install all my ea games and download all the data, and then upgrade to honeycomb, will all my ea games work?
has anyone got any further with this? Because I have been trying to get NFS Hot pursuit for ages and all I get is sever error 5002.
or does anyone know a link to download the extra content?
I found one for worms after I got NaN error and it worked great.
I'm using a Sony Xperia s. And really want to get this game to work.

Oh god yes ea doesn't take their mobile division seriously at all. You have to email and wait for a response. You can't use live support or call them. And if you email them using the developer contact information in the Google play store they tell you to go to their support site. I never even got a response from them but you just got a canned answer anyway. Makes me wanna boycott their mobile games honestly

Anyone else played Temple Run on the 10,1? Is it just me or do you need a giant's finger to swipe, That and for some odd reason random jumps and slides -.-
I don't know if it's the disappointment in the tab or the app. I feel both are responsible.
It is quite hard to play on teh tablet. just doesnt react like it should.
I also have the same problem. It looks like a fun, fluid game, but the controls are entirely unresponsive. Market (Play) reviews seem to agree with us. Here's hoping the dev pushes an update to the 10.1 owners
It's definitely a better experience on my Galaxy Nexus than on my Tab.

It should be noted that gameloft forces you to buy a new game for a new device they donot support moving games to your new device. Go to www.gameloft.com on your elte and you will see there are only five gameloft games that function with it and you likely need that specific apk

That is super dumb. Gameloft is pretty much forcing customers to pirate their new games, I mean, who is going to pay for the same game twice just because they upgraded phones? Not me.
I contacted gameloft and they sent me the games I purchased (that are currently compatible) from my 3d.

Has anyone got this to work on our phones? I have GTA III on my phone and it works flawlessly, yet on Vice City, whenever I get into a car and drive, the whole game locks up and I have to do a battery pull. It's quite annoying. All I wanna do is play the game.
I think many phones are having this issue. It seems to be a prob with the adreno 220 gpu

Is that why it's not supported for our devices? Is there a way around it or no? I tried installing the lite (lag free) version and it worked for awhile longer then froze again. I really want this on my phone.
I'm about to try the lite version, will report back if it works
Edit.....tried it, played for 5 mins then my phone locked up and rebooted
Same here, only thing is, it didn't even last for 5 minutes... I even enabled my 2nd core, over clocked it to 1556 and over clocked the gpu and same problem. Like I said, gta iii works like a charm but vice city just locks up. I don't know if I'm downloading the wrong data or the wrong apk, it just doesn't work.
If anyone does get this to work let me know, thanks.

It is compatible with HTC Rezound, same hardware but much higher screen resolution. So it should work better on our phones than Rezound as 3D's screen resolution is less.
I also installed GTA VC on Atrix 2 ICS 4.0.4 stock. It froze on it too while entering a vehicle and returned to homescreen even though it is compatible with Atrix 2. On Jellybean,it worked fine but with stuttering sound.

It isn't compatible with the Evo LTE either, though GTA 3 is and plays perfectly fine. Not a big deal for me, as I bought it for my Asus Infinity (TF700T) and it plays great on it. One of my main reasons for having tablets is for gaming. I'm just surprised that Vice City isn't compatible with more devices since GTA3 is.

It's a certainly a hardware issue.
Both Xperia S and EVO 3d have MSM8260;
and the exact same thing happens on xperia s; the game just locks up

Are both GTA 3 and VC compatible with our phone on play store? It says not compatible with mine. Our phones are better than Xperia Play and same as HTC rezound (except screen resolution) then why are they not combatible? I guess HTC rezound plays them fine.
The Play Store lists GTA: Vice City as not compatible with my LG-E970. Yet, GTA: III is compatible, and Vice City is even it is compatible with my Acer A500 with a measly Tegra 2. I can't for the life of me understand why this game wouldn't be compatible with the OG.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Not sure either. My tegra2 will play Sims 3 but my LGOG won't /:

The most confusing thing about this is that it's compatible with the Nexus 4 ! It's literally the exact same hardware, creating a port seems like an extremely easy task for Rockstar to do. Perhaps LG has to communicate with the publishers, regardless it's very disappointing to know that my superior phone can't run the same games my friends can for no valid reason.
Anyone think a build.prop edit would change that problem?
This is the email I got from rockstar last week
Hello Xorrito,
We apologize for the long response time on your support ticket.
Unfortunately your device is currently not officially supported. A list of officially supported devices can be found at
Due to the number of devices currently on the market, it is difficult to verify the compatibility of all devices. We are currently in the process of testing new devices, and will make GTA available for download to these devices when testing is confirmed as working properly.
We recommend staying tuned to this article and official Rockstar Games press releases such as rockstargames.com/newswire for the definitive updated list of supported devices. This way you will be alerted if your device does become officially supported in the future.
We apologize for this inconvenience and if you have any further questions, comments or concerns feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help in any way we possibly can.
Cheers,
Brad

Have you tried changing build.prop to a different or similar LG or another android phone/tablet that is compatible with this game that also has similar hardware I would almost bet the dual core snap dragon android phones will work just edit the device name in build.prop unfortunately they don't update the device compatibility fast enough per app/game but this mod should work, it has in the past say for example to play certain games on the HTC one x I had to change device name to replicate another android I think the HTC one s and compatibility issue went away in market. I'm actually looking to do this for gameloft live which lol is not compatible with this device but will work.

If you really want to get GTA VC working you'll have to download the apk and sd data from a 3rd party site. I've tested this and it works fine. Only do this if you have previously purchased GTA VC on the Google market.
