What in the world is a first party game? :confused:

In any case there are tons of long games coming to android. Spectral souls and shadow gun are very polished and high quality.

Lets not forget:

Generation of Chaos

https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmh5cGVyZGV2Ym94LmdvYzQiXQ..

All the gameloft games, playing Tin Tin HD personally atm

The huge wave of upcoming Tegra 3 games which I'm confident will work with chainfire

http://androidandme.com/2011/11/applications/a-closer-look-at-the-upcoming-wave-of-tegra-3-games/

GREE which brings Capcom, Konami, Square Enix and Sega to Android

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/07/gre...com-konami-square-enix-and-sega-all-on-board/

Max Payne for Android

http://androidandme.com/2011/09/gam...-payne-hd-coming-to-mobile-platforms-android/

Etc etc

I literally have to finish games first before I can get to the next, I really don't see what the problem is :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duke4eva:
Not necessarily invalid comparing it to Apples market. He made a very valid point, but no denying there are good games for Android, just no comparison to Apple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
THANK YOU!!! LOL. Thats what im saying. Back when I had iPhone 3GS they had games that would capture my attention for hours.

Android has some good games but they are rare or hard to find or require a certain phone. The Tegra games require a NVidea chipset phone. I know chainfire comes into play to make them work on our phone but chainfire isnt always going to work.

Zen Pinball for example doesnt work with chainfire on our phone.

And then you have the Gameloft games. Those are decent but eh.

I have this nice powerful phone with big screen and LED display and at the moment the only thing that pushes its display is the HD Movies / HD Music Videos I put on it.

Alot of the games are just remakes of them selves on the Android market. There is like 50 defense games LOL.

Dont get me wrong. Android Market is deffinetly headed in the right direction.

When Sega released Chu Chu Rocket that was a big release since that was a Dreamcast Classic game back in the day.

Next we have GTA Coming soon. We have an official Sonic game coming soon. Hopefully we will see more console like games coming to Android.

These simple puzzle games and games no bigger than 10MB isnt going to cut it.

In the end I might have to pick up a iPod Touch or a PS Vita or something. Just sucks because we have these powerful dual core phone with LED display and huge screen we shouldn't need a second device for mobile games these days.

Apple has there on Apple Game Center... When it comes to games, Android still has to play catch up.

Im not a fanboy of any side Android / Apple I currently have this beast of a phone and man most of the games suck...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych2l:
Lol if you want full length console games on Android go get OnLive, it just launched

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Eh I tried that last night and Im not sure of the technology behind it but it didnt seem as if the game was renderd on the phone. I think it was renderd else where which explains the some what lag from pressing buttons and seeing the response in game play.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
I'm a once a week user of Maps. So I need it, but often it doesn't even run between reboots. On ICS it seems to be killing 10% of my battery no matter what. I've tried turning off GPS. Any suggestions other than freezing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Are you signed into Latitude, maybe? That might be something to check.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
Not signed into it. Not even signed up for it. I also disabled the reporting of location back to Google and using wifi for location. I should say I first rebooted and didn't start maps, then a day later tried no GPS/reboot/no maps, then no GPS/location reporting/wifi location/no maps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TaFFeR:
I'm also seeing the same thing. After the screen, maps is using up to 20% of my battery. I haven't even used maps much since I got the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Very strange. I remember on my Nexus S, Latitude would DESTROY the battery, but signing out of Latitude would fix it. It's not the most scientific thing, but I suggest signing into Latitude and then signing out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Same here guys. Use it once a week, and it has 10% of the battery. Must be some sort of location service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Maybe make sure the "Automatic caching" is set to Wi-Fi Only and not Wi-Fi or mobile networks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
There is a setting in stock browser to do with location. When I had this enabled I had this problem but once I disabled I no longer lose battery to maps so its worth investigating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
I noticed there is an update out today that mentions bug fixes on newer devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antych:
Maps update didn't seem to change anything. I also have the same problem on ICS galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3c:
Same, but can't even freeze it!?

Same issue here, Maps and many processes are constantly running, I want to freeze it, but can't even use a simple command like 'pm disable <package_name>', it seems to have no effect!?

Don't really want to uninstall the app, but freezing won't work for me? Anyone manage to freeze it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomisunrider:
Same here. I cannot stop maps from running...

I've disabled the location options in the browser. Disabled all location items in settings. Disabled all locations settings in maps.

It keeps showing up in running apps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3c:
Finally frozen!

I managed to freeze the app with System Tuner at last I could get rid of this. Obviously had to root the phone for that.

[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
You don't like the blue? ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I like the blue just fine. I just don't like the status bar icons, or all the crap in the background. I'm not a fan of all the "shiny" themes. I just like things basic. I like themes like the Humble green or the Infinity's SGS2 theme. Black and Blue is a really nice looking one as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
The " CRAP" as you put in my background is something NOBODY else has on the charge it is a dropdown animation just a screen shot doesn't show that. And the toggle icons are just some I am trying out and wont be in my release of this theme.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
To each their own. Really. If it's something you like, by all means run it. It's jsut that for me, less is more when it comes to a theme. Even steel blue was a bit too flashy for my tastes.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Se7enDayz:
My phone hovers between 122-127 degrees F while tethering. Is this normal? While tethering on a different Rom (skyraider Zeus) my temperature even shot up to 140F. I'm on the seidio extended btw... Just wondering if under 130F is safe for my phone. Seidio has on its battery that up to145 is safe..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
probably due to radio constantly pulling signal, cpu working to keep everything working and current draw from battery operating phone. these things do have thermal protection and if temp was to high you would know it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Se7enDayz:
Thank you very much!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drebbe:
These phones are rated to handle 140-176F, The only concern would be the battery, it can handle it but heat is the #1 killer for Lithium Ion batteries (Other than keeping them at 0 or 100% charge).

Those cases can trap a lot of heat. Obviously don't take the battery cover off though, because it has part of the antenna on it and you won't get 4g.

All process stuck on point number 7. Tab won't go to downloading mode, i'm holding power + volume down and appear only black screen (black light). My question is simple. Is it possible to flash downloading mode again and back to stock 2.2 for galaxy tab p1010? or only samsung service remain?

ALL THANKS GO TO MODACO MEMBER SECANY, NOT ME!

There's a new firmware out, build date 24th of November. secany, who originally posted the file, only wants this posted on MoDaCo as his thread title says. So here's only the link to his thread:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/349407-odin-firmware-i9250xwkk8-itl41f/

A few facts:

- wipes your phone completely - back up first!

- volume is fixed in this release, so seems to be quite new.

- Radio version is XXIK1

- Pauls UI patches seem to make the buttons completely disappear, so don't flash these.

For everything else, please read the original thread. I only posted to let you know about the new firmware.

Besides, secany says he's already running a build from Nov 29th, so seems he gets the testing firmware directly from google or from another source, just like a few guys here in xda forums :D

Cheers

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
The galaxy s line has a better GPU than the droid x or x2. The x2 has a better processor than this phone but not as good of a gpu so the difference would lean towards this. But for a game as intensive as that, you would need both a high end processor and a good gpu to make it run well. Im not saying our phone wont be able to handle it at all, but if it is installable for us then it will likely be a mediocre experience.

I'm trying to develop (for the liveview) using an SDK and need to get a bitmap of Google Maps.

//Map Section
public class myMap extends MapActivity {

MapView mapView;
Bitmap bitmap;
boolean created = false;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

createMap();
}

public void createMap()
{
// build map and mark point
mapView = new MapView(this, "keykeykeykeykeykey");
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(52242730,-884211);
mapView.getController().animateTo(point);
mapView.preLoad();

// copy MapView to canvas
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(400, 800, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
mapView.draw(canvas);
PluginUtils.sendTextBitmap(mLiveViewAdapter, mPluginId, "Loading Map...", 128, 12);
created = true;
}

public void displayMap()
{
if (created == false)
{
createMap();
}
//Display map on device
Bitmap mybit = Bitmap.createBitmap(128, 128, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
for(int i = 0; i < 128; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < 128; j++)
{
mybit.setPixel(i, j, bitmap.getPixel(i, j));
}
}
//white pixel for debugging
mybit.setPixel(64, 64, Color.WHITE);
}

@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}

Is what I've got so far, the code in createMap() was in onCreate() but It didn't seem to be called.

Now it just force closes.

Anyone know how to help? Is there a better place to ask development questions?

Thanks.

-=Edit=-

Oh, and here's the routine calling the map thing, every couple of seconds.

private class Timer implements Runnable {

@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
myMap theMap = new myMap();
theMap.displayMap();
}

I have an MTS CDMA HTC Hero, and I'm un able to put a custom recovery image on. I went into that HBOOT menu and at the top it says "S-ON" and I was reading that it needs to say "S-OFF" in order for me to put a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod onto it. My phone is rooted, I used z4root. I have no idea how to put the custom recovery on. And I cannot find the free version of ROM Manager in the market, and I tried the appbrain method and putting the .apk on my sd card method and nothing is working

Any help would be appreciated

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drlzanej:
Flash recovery using: ADB

NOTE: This method will work while you are booting into the current recovery on the phone.

1.Download the ClockworkMod Recovery: HeroC

2.Copy the recovery.img to root of the SD card.

3.Boot the phone into recovery.

4.Open command prompt, cd to the Android SDK directory & type the following commands:

adb shell

mount /sdcard

flash_image recovery /sdcard/"name of recovery".img

reboot recovery

5.Your phone should now reboot into the ClockworkMod Recovery (orange text for 3.0+).

Flash recovery using: Terminal Emulator Note: Requires s-off, otherwise you'll recieve "out of memory" errors.

1.Download the ClockworkMod Recovery: HeroC Download Optimus V Download.

2.Move recovery.img to root of the SD card.

3.Open the Terminal Emulator on the phone & type the following commands:

4.:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/"name of recovery".img

reboot recovery

5.The phone should now reboot into the ClockworkMod Recovery (orange text for 3.0+).

do you have android sdk installed on your computer, if no , install it. if yes, open a command prompt and type,

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

next type:

adb devices

it should list your device

next type:

adb shell

you should get a # sign

then procede from there

or try the terminal emulator method,,,much easier. you can get "terminal emulator " from android market...good luck

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
He didn't toss it literally but he let me play with it. I can tell he was "watching it at all times" because the face unlock was set to him. He seemed like a big nerd like us. But he said it was the stores demo unit. He made it pretty apparent that it should be a few days now. We didn't talk about price or anything but it was just cool to play with it.

I loved the onscreen button animation and the screen looked great. It didn't have the nasty hue that I seen with the Nexus S or other Galaxy models, which was my worst fear. It felt fast and responsive, although I didn't have too much hands on time with it.

I'm ordering mine through work so most of my questions were pertaining to the best practice to get one earliest as possible. He also put me down on a list to let me know asap when they launch.

He said they just finished training and he'd be surprised if it isn't available within a few days.
