How do I uninstall a game I have installed on my PDA and no longer want there?

Hi guys, I have just bought the FPse app to play PS1 games and I am trying to run Crash Bandicoot 1 nicely with OpenGL turned on, without everything clicked on, it lags a lot. I have seen this game running on the S2 with OpenGL turned on (youtube) and it ran smoothly...

I mean like, this phone is way better than that one, how come that it lags? What are your settings (if you have it installed)?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PLUG313:
i9500 or i9505?

I read somewhere the GPU on the octa doesn't fully support OpenGL, not sure though!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] immolo:
The i9500 version doesn't support OpenGL version 3 but the i9505 does.

As for fpse they have recently changed the OpenGL plugin so it could be that causing some issues. Have you check their forums to see if others have reported issues or reverting the plugin back to the original?

A weird issue start happening today for me.

In the contacts list I have always swiped left to text and swipe right to call... but now only swipe left works the first time, and in order to swipe right I have to start to the left then go to the right (like you go to text but change your mind and go to call)

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
If you are swiping right, start from AFTER the picture otherwise it doesn't work.

After more detailed searching I found this post solving my problem on the Shpongle thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41665572&postcount=1263

I flashed the latest version of the Hellboy kernel and that dealt with the problem.

Hi,

FAO [MENTION=2688060][/MENTION] (I can't post in Original Development yet)

I installed Shpongle today. Thank you for making this ROM available.

It's been either freezing or rebooting, first when starting Foursquare, but then when starting Google Maps and My Tracks. I've made a log cat (for freeze when signing in on My Tracks), expecting to see errors with GPS (since that's what those apps have in common). I found errors with K. I don't know if this is related, since freezes were triggered by starting an app. I'll try uninstalling Kit improves things, but would appreciate any feedback.

Many thanks

[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Been using this ROM for a couple weeks now.

Either my power button is failing or I'm getting SOD's. I'm guessing it's SOD because after pulling the battery, the phone powers up again and works no problem.

The SOD's tend to occur when I'm not using the phone. When I try to "wake" the phone to use it, the power button is unresponsive and I have to pull the battery. The SOD's seem to be at random times and always when the phone is "sleeping". :confused: When using the phone, it works great otherwise.

Anyone else using this or similar ROM and have this issue? Any suggestions on how to diagnose/fix this problem?

Thanks in advance. :)

Mike.

PS. I tried remapping the "wake" button to G button as well as the volume keys [to see if it's the power button that is failing] and neither works to wake the phone. Still have to use power button. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1lenz:
I really don't know much about technical limitations on color calibration, but is it reasonable to assume that since PA was able to get the N4 calibrated with the snapdragon S4 chip, that if the new nexus 7 runs either a snapdragon S4 or 600 that we could see similar results?

I know their success had something to do with the optimus G, but I don't know how much of it. It's asinine at this point to hope that Google will ship their new nexus 7's calibrated - asus doesnt calibrate their screens, neither has any other nexus device out the door.

I'm really hoping that success on one device will transfer over to another. Here's hoping...

I once had the same Problem after coming from MiniTAB which has completely different modems. Flashing back to stock before flashing to my new ROM fixed the Problem. So it was an problem with my old ROM, not with my new one.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bntran02:
The thread title says it all. How many times did you return your nexus 10 before you received one that was free of defects? I have one that freezes once or twice a day and am considering the exchange process. Luckily I purchased through samsclub and should be able to just go to the store.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noisy_lightning:
None!

Yes mine has light bleed, but on auto brightness in 3 months I have literally NEVER seen it in real life usage unless actually turn the brightness up to 100% and look for it. In actual fact its got better from when I bought it in Feb. As for the lock ups you mentioned, since the last software update and using Chrome Beta I have seen no locks or reboots in at least a month!

I expect your problem is linked to an app not the device itself.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bntran02:
I've tried removing most apps without success including chrome and location services. I guess running with no apps is the next step...

I havent done much research on which apps area causing freezes but I did not find anything on what I have installed. Some notible non-google apps that I am running are:

AiCloud, Amazon store, BankOfAmerica,Calengoo, Discover, File Manager HD, GooManager, GroupMe, Hulu Plus, iHeartRadio, IP Cam Viewer, Md5Checker, MightyText, Mobile Queue, My Netflix Q, OfficeSuite, Speed Test, Swiftkey, UberSync, WD Remote, WeatherBug, Wifi Analyzer, Wordfued, XDA

Had it since January with absolutely no problems other than the ones I have caused undervolting and tweaking. ;)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
None, I also got mine from sams club and its been working great. I was a little worried when I bought it because the seal was broken but I took it back And they said it was to check everything was there. They gave me a different one with a closed seal and were very good about it. I don't think it should be too hard to exchange it and MIME Gantt had any problems so I think you should switch it.

Zero. I have slight light bleed on the black light bleed checker, but it doesn't bother me at all. Apparently my Nexus 7 had light bleed too but I never saw it in the 10 months I owned it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newellj79:
None. I have light bleed on the left but never would notice it in real world usage. I only know its there because I was told how and where to look. Very solid device, have had it since the first week of release.

I got mine from craiglist and have zero returns. I am satisfied with mine, but I got mine around march so idk maybe the quality was different from before than now.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwheat:
i shure it is but dont forget the past and everytime ask for better ... they have the resources to do that .

nexus 10 its a very good product, very well designed but very badly build ..

i will try let others to write post relate to this subject because i m becoming subject of jokes for asking a normal thing for all of us .

Our money are important . Don t waste them for others mistakes and careless !

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Bought from Google Play; no exchanges (I'm satisfied with my device).

The only issue I have is some minor light bleed that is only noticeable on a black background at max brightness in a dark room, in other words, something I'll never notice :p (I had to actually look for this light bleed too)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Your becoming the subject of jokes because every post you have ever made in the Nexus 10 subforums has been to say how ****ty this tablet is.

Also, no returns cause my device is perfect.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwheat:
well ...

20 people thanked me from 110 posts of mine

i think i was useful for them ..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I'm pretty sure every OEM has their share of products with defects, not just Google. I on the other hand fail to see what makes Google particularly bad though.

Seeing as I got a decent N10, and don't see hundreds/thousands of posts/threads about defective N10's, I can assume that the N10 isn't nearly as bad as you make it out. All I see currently is one person who has had a pretty bad experience, or was very picky about their N10.

On one hand, I can see a reason for RMA'ing over hardware defects. Stuff like light bleed and creaking backs shouldn't be acceptable on a $400+ tablet, or any device really (but yes, all OEM's have such build defects; pretty much unavoidable without paying a premium for top-notch quality assurance, which I don't think any OEM offers).

I've seen reports of people RMA'ing over software issues like reboots. To be fair, such issues shouldn't exist either on this device (then again, what modern device really has 100% stability?), but essentially, you'll get the same exact issues on the next replacement device you get, and the next, and the next (unless the reason for the software issue was hardware-related).

I only had to RMA once with Google, because of my Nexus 4 charging orb. The replacement I got works far better though, and I got refunded pretty quickly; no issues at all :)

In any case, buying any device these days doesn't guarantee a flawless 100% stable unit. That's why warranty and return/exchange periods exist.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwheat:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I think your right about the problems (even though I don't have any there are many who do) but I'd say it was Samsung's fault not Google's. I think they sabotaged it on purpose (kind of a wild accusation) so that their tablets (the galaxy series) would swell better. But I haven't had any problems with mine an im more than satisfied with it. Only thing is I hope another company makes it next time like sony (very unlikely) or lg since the nexus 4 turned out great though phones and tablets are completely different so there's no telling how a tablet would turn out by them.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I wasn't trying to attack you; I'm just pointing out that no OEM specifically says what you pointed out, not just Google.

You had a bad experience, I can sympathise with that; but majority of people likely haven't had such an experience, or else we'd be seeing many more threads about this, major news sites reporting it, and even word from Google about it. But alas, I don't see any of that. What we have here is a common product launch. The loud ones are the ones with issues with their device.

Plus that thread you linked is only 2 pages. Not that I'm diminishing the reports of those people, but your talking a small handful of people, compared to every N10 owner. Drop in the bucket, or something along those lines... Now go look at the reports of the Nexus 4 charging orb. You want to see a widespread "issue", look no further than that orb.

I'm not trying to make excuses for Google either. Of course them, and every other OEM should try to release as many non-defective devices as possible (which I'm sure they do already to an extent). Such a thing probably isn't going to happen without a nice price increase either...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo:
I've exchanged once already because of a battery issue and all the random restarts. The replacement still freezes and reboots frequently -- sometimes when idle (shows in bootlog uptime). I think it may be related to having multiple accounts.

You're not alone, I've thought the same. Let's look at what they've got to lose: Nothing. What've they got to gain? Sending people to Galaxy tabs. Especially on the customer service department.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quod:
None. Slight light bleed in one corner but it's only noticeable when I'm in a pitch-black room, which is never.

I don't know why people think they can start removing system services and get surprised when they run in to problems.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

I would think every time a Nexus 10 is sold Samsung gets some coin, so they definitely have something to lose. Money, and possibly their reputation.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
On the outside of the box, and in the ads, there is little to tell the public its a Samsung product. That, and has someone done a price breakdown? Because according to Samsung's pricing scheme... It has to be a VERY small coin they're making on it, as I suspect its being sold near cost for them.

Strong light bleed on top left corner so going back to Walmart. One replacement so far.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bntran02:
Well....i tried to return mine to samsclub within their 90 day return policy only to find out somewhere that says tablets get only 30 days so i'm stuck with what I have.

BUT...since then I have started over from scratch with an out-of-the-box level restore and re-rooted/unlocked again. But this time only installed a few apps that I used regularly and my situation is significantly better (Normally I allow google to restore my apps). Usually I open my case and the screen wont turn on but havent had any freeze like that because I've removed my case as a test. I've only had one crash when clicking on a link from Google Now but it hasn't happened again since. A huge improvement because I usually get about 2 freezes a day.

Only time will tell.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynnux:
1-2 random reboots in a week of heavy use. And that's probably because I was experimenting with tweaking voltage and cpu. My only complaint is that scrolling is sometimes very, very smooth, and sometimes it's just a little bit jittery. Can't figure out why.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
I forgot about that. I had a TON of random reboots for 1-2 weeks but it was all voltage/hotplugging related, so my fault, not the tablet's.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynnux:
Yes, one of my 2 reboots was right after I'd enabled hotplugging. Didn't try that again.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abejoker:
I got the new one with out issues and every time I get a reboot (2 so far) is app related I believe. Some games just create that issue.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abejoker:
OK no random reboots. There's only 2 things giving problems now: after a long time of video chatting through Skype or hangout, software crashes. On Skype, the third time it happened, the tablet rebooted. Anyone with the same issue???

Surface Flinger/GPU memory bug. Nothing can be done right now save for rebooting.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellTenPeople:
Twice. Bought at launch directly from Google (the only way to get it in Canada plus a mysterious $10 markup — our dollars are at parity, eh).

#1. had some sort of manufacturing debris caught between the glass and the screen, and a randomly dropping Wifi plus minor bottom left edge bleed

#2. which was technically a return, had debris between glass and screen as well only even more towards the middle of the screen, and random freezing-then-reboot with image distortion (one horizontal swath of scrambled image across the screen) plus minor bleed

I've avoided Samsung stuff ever since. And Asus (2 dud Nexus 7 32GB Wifi). And Sony (1 dud Xperia Tablet Z).

The only success I've had since November has been a perfectly serviceable Nexus 4 — bought by someone else and passed on to me.

Maybe I've offended Pixor the increasingly thin god of consumer electronics. :banghead:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StreamOfLife:
once=( about an hour after getting it yesterday...

bad pixels! not too much but very noticable and just annoying (visible whenever its not completely black in that region). they were right on that "done, next" arrow button in the bottom right corner when you do the settings after turning it on for the first time, so I noticed right away :/

those bad pixels are a reason for warranty, right? It looks like a little "_" only a bit thinner. actually im not even sure if its a pixel thing or if theres something between the glass and the screen.

Ill get the new one monday, hopefully that one wont have any issues.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's not that hard. If you're looking carefully and testing for it (for example, switching background images, toggling colors, etc.), they're fairly identifiable even on very pixel-dense screens.

You are not the only one struggling with this generation of electronics.

I tried 3 nexus 10's before giving up (light bleed, microphone problems etc), and just returned a sony tablet Z because of the microphone only records whispers in skype, hangout and sony's sound recorder (seems to be a software( ?) bug with every tablet Z!).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellTenPeople:
For yay and verily, Pixor is a vindictive god! Perhaps he requires sacrifices of pristine iPads to appease his wroth :rolleyes:

I will admit to still being tempted mightily by the Nexus 10 but the tiny storage space (I'd prefer 64GB), the annoyance with having the speakers hiss whenever I dared use the keyboard sounds and the sheer inconvenience of only being able to buy it online from Google in Canada are holding temptation at bay. At least Sony made the return process easy — I pre-ordered the Xperia Tablet Z online but returned it to an actual Sony Store and got my refund right away.

My next victim will be that Tegra 4 Toshiba Write. It probably won't get timely Android updates — if any knowing Toshiba — but it does seem to be designed for my notetaking purposes and has sd card expansion. Plus, I'll be able to buy it — and probably exchange it several times, Pixor willing — in an actual store.
