Neat. I love the Mahjong games built into Ubuntu and Windows, but I've never seen one work well on a phone. Your app is no exception, but it's decent, and you can see which tiles are on the edges easier.

Couple suggestions:

1. Timer. Since Mahjong isn't a solitaire game with a guaranteed solution, and even if you start with a winnable board, you can make it unwinnable by making the wrong move. If I can clear all 4 tiles with one face I will, but with three or even just two, I weigh the options, play it five or six moves ahead in my mind and decide from there. It's not smart to put a timer on it. Maybe make it an option?

2. Shuffle. Not sure I like the idea of a game where you can't lose. The Windows version only produces a winnable board maybe one in four times. Maybe make shuffle an option as well.

3. Score? I don't really care about an arbitrary scoring system. I would like to see how many tiles are left and how many moves are available.

4. Flashing tile. Should be able to click the background to make it stop. (As opposed to making a move or undoing the last one and redoing it.)

5. I won (of course) but I didn't see an easy way to start a new game. Nothing seemed to respond, I just hit Home to get out.

6. The toolbar. Menu button does nothing. How about menu to toggle that on and off? Maybe it can hide the timer/score or moves left/tiles left, if you take that suggestion, as well?

WRT ads, due to the logistics of a Mahjong game, perpetual ads on the game board are a bad idea regardless. I like apps that just have the ad in the options screen. Or maybe you can show the ad before and after a game or something.

I'm not even gonna lie, I'm rooted and running Adfree, so the ads aren't even showing up for me. I don't even feel bad about it, I pay more than a lot of folks for cell service, I have limited data, and I don't like part of my screen being taken up by an ad I'm not gonna click on. Opportunity to remove them all? Taken, without hestiation. That said, put up a donate version for a buck, fix some of the errors with it (they're really minor, the game is solid) and I'll buy it. I really like the game (Mahjong) and your app is the best implementation of it I've seen thus far on a phone.

Bonus suggestion: You know what would be REALLY cool? Mahjong traditionally uses Asian characters most people don't recognize. I think this adds to the challenge for Westerners. In my mind I come up with funny names for the characters. What if, for an Android app, it used apps' icons? Would you have to be rooted for it to get at the icons? Or maybe could it just read 'em off your home screen? And as for the wildcard tiles (Seasons) just use the Android guy, or the Android guy and the Google "G" logo, and in Hard mode they have to match, in Normal mode they don't.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnesus:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will definetely be incorporating some of those ideas in the future.

The icons would require root, I'll probably just make a tile set with more Android-like images, maybe icons, maybe sth else. I also plan to make tileset for small phones with very simple images.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Yeah, and Google might not like you using some of their icons, if you went that route. I'm not sure what the licensing is for the Chrome and Gmail logos. The Android guy is probably covered under a FOSS license, but who knows about the others. What if there were a way to create your own tileset? You could have the other tile faces in a folder (don't forget the .nomedia file!) and have the user just drop their icons in there, and select them through the GUI. Then you don't have to worry about licenses since you wouldn't be distributing the icons.

Only 3 days ago I got this? I've played at least a dozen games since then. I would totally buy an ad-free version for a buck. No question about that. I mean, it's ad-free now, but not legitimately.

The biggest thing about Mahjong on the small screen is seeing which tiles are legal and which ones are not. Your app does better at contrasting the edges than others, but I think if a slight dim effect were applied to inaccessible tiles, that would go a lot farther. Not so dim that you can't see the tile's icon, but dim enough that it's obvious that it can't be played.

On that note, I think your app has allowed me to make illegal moves. I've used tiles that were partially covered. Maybe they weren't covered and it was just the isometric angle, but it looked like they were.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Latest update is doing some weird things. Some matches are not being accepted, the hint button is suggesting illegal matches which the game accepts, and again partially covered (only from above or below) tiles can be played.

Here's a screenshot of an illegal hint:
[Android Apps and Games] Magnesus:
I'm just uploading an update that fixes that bug. Thanks for the report.

I also added some of the options suggested - ability to show moves left, tiles left, hiding timer, 1 finger scroll is now optional (because it's not optimal) and after finishing the game menu shows after a while. Also - menu button should show menu now.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnesus:
I added new sounds for wooden and medieval tiles and fixed some errors. Next I'll work on some simple leaderboard and ability to set number of allowed shufflings (someone wanted this in comments).
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
I don't think it updated for me. (Maybe it did and I didn't notice?) I'll keep an eye out.

Could we have the menu button completely hide the UI (score/moves/four red buttons) and then show it again if pressed again? I haven't accidentally hit anything while playing, it would just make it easier.

Still my favorite game on Android (not much of a mobile gamer, stuff like Angry Birds/Cut the Rope doesn't appeal to me). I have this and a Sudoku game. I would put a Klondike game up there, but I played that too many times... maybe later. Maybe a good crossword puzzle game. Damn I sound old, haha. But thanks again for an awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnesus:
I made a Klondike game, but I prefer playing Spider to Klondike. :)

The menu button update was not working in the first update - I fixed it later so now it should work almost as you described (the score is still on the screen - you can hide it in option and it's not clickable anyway). I'm also working on improving the zoom and scrolling because it's far from perfect (and quite needed on small phones).
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
I thought you did. I will definitely check yours out if I get the itch to play it again. I bought one on my last phone, a much smaller device with a 320x240 screen. When I downloaded it on my new phone... it was still 320x240. Well, it zoomed in a little bit but didn't fill my screen and the developer had since abandoned it. Oh well. I never really got into any of the other card solitaire games.

I very briefly tried another Mahjong game, and it had a neat feature. In addition to the tiles being thicker, so you could really see the depth, the tiles you could not play were dimmed a little. Not just legal moves, I mean legal tiles. All the edge/top tiles. You know which ones they are from the start, but once a few are removed, it's hard to tell at a glance, at least on mobile.

Zooming and scrolling is fine on my screen, but I have 960x540.

Also, your tiles aren't original -- it seems like these tiles are in most Mahjong games in some form. I mean you have the circles set, the bamboo set, the seasons, the flowers, the winds (or compass points)... and then that... circle thing. In the Mahjong game that comes with Ubuntu, the Ubuntu logo is used in place of that tile. I've seen that tile represent other logos, as well. I think that's what it's meant to be, a placeholder. Maybe it should be the Android guy. I'm fine with it how it is, just thought I'd throw that out there.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnesus:
OK. I released a new version with:

- new tileset (with android icons, funny letters and stuff), should be easy to find pairs,

- new background (black one),

- fixed scrolling (one finger scrolling was slow on some devices),

- better reshuffle (but more improvements are due in this regard).

I'm also planning on releasing Acrade mode with levels of rising difficulty and am considering implementing Scoreloop for leaderboards. But it will take some time (because I'm also working on some new games right now).
[Android Apps and Games] one-contezero:
Nice game, I like it.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnesus:
Thanks. I released another similar game with a little different game play (you have to beat the time - every move the timer starts again):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=magory.fantasymahjong

Making it I made many improvements (shadows, much, much better shuffling) that I'll add in Mahjong HD too - in the next update (this week or a week after). The premium version will probably be a mix of those two free games (right now it's Mahjong HD without the ads).

It's a shame that I feel like I can get better support here at XDA rather than ATT but I wanted to try some troubleshoots before I call them with my issue. I noticed a week ago that my data connection will drop after switching from wifi. It will turn back on if i restart my phone or turn airplane mode on and off but eventually it will go away completely not even throttled (I have unlimitted lte data plan too). I was on Saurom with the att fix but then switched to the unofficial rom and it still does it. My APN looks correct so I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my phone. Any troubleshooting ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bonefan03:
I'm not sure, but did u check the imei #. This happened to me once before, and after calling AT&T they said I had the wrong imei. It's a long shot but you can try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dmbrown81:
Well I called ATT and what they said was that my sim wasn't registered in their system. The lady didn't even know how I was receiving a data signal at all because she couldn't find my profile. Bottom line is that they are sending me another sim card and that should prevent my data drops.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thinguy:
I noticed this with my rooted note a few times

I switched to Saurom a week+ ago and haven't seen it happen again.

I am mainly concerned about fingerprints and smoothness of the operation. Clarity is an important factor also so appears matte finish isn't what I'm looking for since you have that moire over text and such. What would be the optimal screen protector?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
Skinomi. Awesome and very easy to apply. They also have the best customer service support!

I actually messed up while applying my screen protector and they sent me a new kit within 2 business days.

Where to get it: Amazon, nuff said.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] molitar:
Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to try something cheapo like this just so my mother can see if she can live with a matte finish for about a week.

http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Glare-Sc...sformer/dp/tech-data/B005OUE8R2/ref=de_a_smtd

If she finds she can I will find a good high product one.. if not I will go straight with Skinomi most likely than. But I think buying a cheap matte one so she can experience and anti-glare, anti-fingerprint (most critical is fingerprint reduction) than she can make an intelligent decision without blowing $15 just to find she does not like it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jirv311:
I tried the Zagg and it was a disaster. Application was messy and I personally didn't like the grippy feel. I just got my BodyGuardz put on a couple days ago though and I love it. I bought the combo carbon fiber skin/HD anti-glare screen protector and it's fantastic. Nice feel and definitely cuts down on glare and fingerprints.

Also, if you find them on facebook and post "BodyGuardz Me!" on their wall, they'll send you a 30% off coupon code. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] originalnabisco:
Skinomi

Skinomi wet-apply screen protectors are pretty easy to apply, however they are grippy (like the Zagg's) and 'soft' as in an your fingernail can easily and accidentally leave an indent on the screen protector. It feels almost too soft, where things that leave an indent on the screen protector would never even damage the Gorilla Glass underneath.

Good thing is because it is soft like rubber, most indents un-indent themselves after a while.

Screen Protector

got my screen protector for my Asus Eee Pad made by http://secondshells.com/screen-prot...n-protector-anti-glare-anti-finger-print.html I ordered the anti-glare screen protectors through SecondShells. I have used simply because the touch screen did not lose any sensitivity after I applied it.

The protector had a nice rectangular notch cutout for the camera and for the light sensor(I think that's what it is), I had purchased other protectors and they had these small circular holes, you had to be perfect to install it right, this larger opening made my life a lot easier. Overall very easy to apply, a peel and stick type of protector, with protective covers.. I am very happy. I also recommend getting a stylus like the nano fiber stylus I also ordered from SecondShells responds great with my tablet. http://secondshells.com/touch-stylu...n-with-nano-fabric-retractable-tip-black.html
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tiernan22:
The Skinomi is nice. Just installed it today. It doesn't reduce glare but the touch is nice. I only wish it were oleophobic...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
I installed the Ghost Armor clear front an back on mine and love it. It is a little bit grippy, but no where near as bad as Zagg, which I can't stand!! Ordered mine direct from them for less than $35 shipped. Install is your standard wet install which is super easy in my opinion. Clarity is great and does NOT have the orange peel look like Zagg does. The full body kit comes with front, back, and even pieces to cover the sides. True full body protection!!! They offer many different colors for the back including carbon fiber. http://www.ghost-armor.com/Asus/743.html

I've never been able to get the wet app to work successfully. That's why I chose the dry application secondshells offers.

Also, my gmail app is not syncing one of my two accounts, only the one i added manually.

Hey XDA folks,

So now that we know that the Evo LTE is coming... are you guys making the switch to HTC or staying with Sammy on the Galaxy Nexus or the next SGS3?:confused:

I myself find myself leaning more towards the Galaxy Nexus but it HAS to be LTE, if not I am going with the Evo.:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
The Galaxy Nexus is an LTE phone, if that is what is the only thing that is making you indecisive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
To be honest, I've had HTC phones, and while they do work, they always have rather bad battery life.

EVO's got it's huge development team behind it (you wont be without something to flash) and it's going to be better as far as LTE connection due to it's ability to connect to the 800(900?) mhz band of Sprint's LTE.

The Gnex is probably going to be better with battery performance, despite it's battery size being only 1850, as compared to it's 2000 mAh competitor (EVO LTE). But since it's AOSP, it's not going to have a battery drain skin such as sense running.

The other thing to consider is that the gNex has been out for awhile, and we're late getting it. In 6-7 months from now, the next Nexus will be announced and we'll be stuck with our phones for 2 years (unless you've some way to get new phones for affordable prices).

I prefer stability over performance and such. I think the gNex screen is much better because it's Amoled, so I'd choose the gNex.

hope these helps you decide...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Well said!

As for waiting another 6-7 months for the next gen Nexus... it'll be longer. Simply put Sprint has never received first dibs on the nexus device. I say it'll be At&t who gets the next one first although I would love for all 4 carriers to get it at the same time.

As for being stuck for 2 years with the same phone..nah I dont beleieve in that, I always find a way to get the newest without paying full price ( Craigslist) or I just sell my phone and use that money towards a used but like new phone on there as well. Thats not the issue with me LoL.

I also am leaning towards the Nexus now simply because you made a great point, the fact that sense is still running will use more battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mexiking713:
I'm going to jump ship to the Evo LTE simply because I'm an Evo fanboy. Love HTC sense. Only reason I got this phone is because of the bigger screen but now that they finally gave the Evo a bigger screen I'm going back.

Me too buddy for the same reasons...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kawaski47:
See I'm not so sure I'm not a fan of the 16:9 screen ratio on phones. The evo 4g lte looks like the screen was stretched vertically and looks really narrow. Is 16:9 going to be the new standard? I love the width of my et4g and hope the gs3 is similar
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Galaxy nexus for updates alone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
UPDATE I just came back from the Verizon store ... I went to just see the Galaxy Nexus in person... and I was not impressed. It feels too much like my ET4G, and not that thats a bad thing. I am just ready for a change! I though maybe I would love it in person but I left there feeling my ET4G was a BETTER phone.

Come May 26th Hello Evo LTE!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Neither, by the time Sprint LTE is a real working network there will be better options. I will probably be due for my upgrade by then. Also the Nexus isn't really an upgrade from S2 just a variation.
