Hey all. Are there known issues with this game and Android emulation? I've played about a half an hour of the game just fine, better graphics than OOT and it sometimes even had a more consistent framerate. I was stoked! However, I experienced a few black screens during that time - the graphics would just go black but the game was still running (I could move around and hear my footsteps, music, etc). I could always just reload my previous save state and be fine. Now, however, I'm getting a black screen at an exact moment every time so I can't get around it. I just gave the moon tear to the deku scrub and the bell for the second day starts chiming. As soon as the second bell chimes I get a black screen and can no longer play.
Anyone hear of this happening? Is there a fix anywhere?
try saving RIGHT before it and then try again, make a 2nd save while it happens, reload the save and see if it's still black. if not keep trying the save b4 to see if u can get through, happened to me with animal forest!
Well, I've gotten past it for now. Basically I just switched the GFX plugin to the 'original' one, screen didn't go black, waited a few seconds, then saved and switched back to the 'default' plugin.
Hopefully this will work every time.
I'm having this exact problem with N64oid v2.4.3 on Majoras Mask.
Im on Day 2 in Clock Town, and after loading my save-state, within 5-10 seconds of running around or even just looking in first-person, the screen renders solid black. I dont have any 'gfx plugin' settings to change, or anything of the sort. The only video/engine setting I have is to enable/disable fog, which doesnt fix it.
Are there any resolutions, or should I downgrade to 2.3? Would that give me access to these 'gfx plugins' you're talking about?

Today I used the iGo8 GPS for a little bit just to get onto the freeway. The phone tends to go to sleep, and when that happens, it loses it's GPS signal. Since I was already on the freeway, I know my way around so I just let my phone sleep.
When I got home, I realized the bottom part of the screen, where you can scroll through home, people, messages, etc. is messed up. That part of the screen keeps flashing. AND the GPS screen got burnt into the screen, like how things burn into Plasma Screen TVs when you leave it there for a long time. But it's not a completely burn on, it is like a ghost affect.
I have soft resetted my phone. Doesn't work.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks.
I can post pictures/video if it will help.
Have you tried running igo again and closing it down properly?
Yeah, I closed igo properly. It's not just burnt in the igo screen new. It changes. Now it's the Today page. I can see the "Phone" and "Camera" buttons burnt into the lower part of the screen.
ROM Issue?
What ROM are you using? I always use EnergyROM and its a great ROM but it always does the same thing... i thought my phone was ruined the first time i saw this, but when i flashed to another ROM it all went away, im not sure if certain ROMs use different video drivers or what, but my problem atleast seems to just be with the ROM.
Good Luck!
use a all-black or all-white image(i think all black is betteR) and keep it on to try to reduce the burn it...
ohhh. I am using EnergyRom as well. I will change roms and see what's up.
the all black image seems to be a good idea.
Hello,
I have noticed on certain standard android apps a number of issues that I have come across. I have tried with auto-rotation on and off of screen in settings. I have restarted my Xoom also. I don't have any of these issues with any of the tablet apps.
1. First off Jetcar Stunts, and Return Zero the menus are normal and function fine, but when you go into a race the screen looks like it is tilted at 45 degree angle. If you turn your Xoom vertical, the screen will level out, but you are looking at the car on the left side of the screen.
2. Several racing games TurboFly 3d and couple of others I cant think off of the top of my head work fine and the screen is in the right position, but to when you tilt to the left it turns the car to right, and vise verse the other way. The turning controls have been switched.
3. Adao File Manager, Adao Uninstaller, ishoot, and Medieval Castle retain their original size of an android phone. Is there any way to zoom in or have these apps stretched to fit the screen? The ipad lets you view iphone apps standard size and stretched size.
Anybody experiencing these problems, or have any solutions?
Thank you for your input.

Install "Spare Parts" free from the market.. Open it and uncheck the box for compatibility mode... Might not fix every issue as some things just refuse to run on HoneyComb yet but it should fix some of them. It will absolutely fix your last section where the apps don't fill the screen.
The problem is not you, or anything you did. The issue is honeycomb. Not all apps are compatable yet. It was like trying to run a win xp app on win 7 when it first dropped. Didnt work. Just wait. They will be updated eventually.
Thank you,
The spare parts helped with the apps that was stuck in their native resolution. It now fills the whole screen.
Yep... I'm waiting, too... seems Napster, SiriusXM, and my banks' apps aren't even showing up as installable on my Xoom - but they all show up on my Pure running XDAndroid! (waiting for July so I can upgrade to a real Android phone ).
I immediately put this all down to the fact that Honeycomb is so new, the devs didn't have opportunity to build versions compatible with it... yet.
But... this begs a question... I'd love to be able to copy the .apk's from apps I directly-installed on my XDAndroid port, onto the Xoom and see if they'll run anyway... but I can't seem to find the apk's. Being a noob on Android still, can anyone tell me how I can get a hold of these app files, or does the Market simply download, install, and delete?
Thanks...

I updated to the latest version of the Mango beta (7712 i think) the other day and now whenever I turn on the screen it takes about half a second for the clock and date etc to appear. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?
A lot of people are noticing that behavior.
I think it's a bug.. but it doesn't happen all the time to me.
It's amazing how annoying just a little bit of lag is in this OS, isn't it?
Good to know im not alone. Ill put up with it as this is a beta. Everything else works perfectly
When I first "upgraded" from last month's mango to this months updated version, I noticed this too, but I also noticed that the homescreen "flash" was gone, which for me was a very acceptable trade off. I reset my phone to get my twitter and linkedin contacts to load, and since then my screen has reverted to the old form; that is, flashes the homescreen for a second before going to the lockscreen. Awful.
I thought that was just the new behaviour
It was one of the first thing I noticed after updating. I didn't think it was a bug, I just thought for some reason that was the new behaviour.
It definitely doesn't look as clean as the old way.
Yeah, I wasnt sure if it was a bug or a new feature as it seems to fade in after about half a second kind of like a transition effect.
Whatever it is I much prefered it the way it was before this second update as like people have said it just looks like really bad lag.
Mine seems to have sorted itself out. All ive done is turn it off for the night. Couldnt hurt to give it a go if its annoying you
after updating to mango on my omnia 7, I have this strange situation with my lockscreen. is this a bug? anyone else noticed this too?

it used to happen to me quite often when i was on 7712. Doesn't happen anymore on mango.. but there's still a buggy animation sometimes when i unlock too quickly, appears as a repeated top 1/4 of the lockscreen i think
i don't know why, but it's still happening. i tried to power of and on, but it didn't help. i don't want to do a hard reset. it seems that the problem is gone if the music is playing (when the mini player is displayed in lockscreen).
so, i figured out, when that locksreen lag is happening. if you have mini player shown, when you press volume buttons, that means there will be no lockscreen lag, and everything will be like it should.
but, if you go and play a video, and then go back to homescreen, there will be no mini player shown, when you press the volume button, and if you then turn off the screen, and then on again, the clock and calendar will display with some lag (about half a second). this will continue to happen until the next time you run audio player. then, if there is mini player in the dropdown volume menu, there will be no more lag in the lockscreen.
please, try this and see if this will happen to you too. i know it's a small bug, but it's really annoying!
I have an issue with WiFi on my factory unlocked A9.
When on WiFi and using Flipboard, a lot of times the page will refuse to load with, "No connection, retry". I flick back and try again, and it works. If I turn off WiFi and use data, I never get that. But, about 50% of the time, I will get the "No connection, retry" notice but as soon as I flick back and try again, it works about 90% of the time. Sometimes, it will take 3 or 4 flicks back and forth. BUT, this never happens if I turn WiFi off. My WiFi is my home network and I'm sitting within 10 feet of the router, signal strength is not the issue.
Also, when watching a video that was linked inside Flipboard, my A9 will refuse to play the video in landscape mode, just keeps cycling between the play symbol and the pause symbol. But, if I leave the video in portrait mode, hit play, then after it starts playing turn the phone on its side for landscape, the video will keep playing without a problem. It will not play initially in landscape mode at all.
My A9 is completely stock factory unlocked version with the latest ota updates. Everything else about the phone works fine, with the exception of the above two issues. I get great battery life since the last ota update and am very happy overall with the phone.
Not happy about not being Gorilla Glass 4 and my glass is not flat. When you look at my screen at an angle against a light source, the screen is very wavy, I mean the worst I've ever seen on any of my phones. I do not feel anything so can't tell if this reflection is off the surface or below the surface. My old Galaxy S5 screen doing the exact same thing is flat as could be, no distortion at all but the A9 looks like the image is on acid or something, disconcerting.
Thanks for any help...
This has been a problem for a while with my Galaxy s8+. I'll be playing a game (using my phone horizontally) and the screen will flip upside down for no apparent reason. Playing tense games with this problem is infuriating to say the least.
I have searched many places for an answer to this. But whenever I try to specify my problem to Google it always comes up with another problem that has nothing to do with mine.
The question: Is there a button/function thing on my phone to disable the screen flipping around everywhere?
