Fake Temple Run hits the market. - Android General

https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZW1wbGUucnVuLmdhbWUiXQ..
A friend of mine shared this on facebook, at first i was excited but reading all the reviews made me suspicious. It looks official however it seems like its a scam and probably has malware in it. I didnt download it but people are saying the app wont open until you share it on FB or Twitter, and then it shows this countdown to when its fully released.
@TempleRun tweeted this 1 hour ago "Temple Run is not yet out for Android. The new scam claiming to be Temple Run is a fake that puts malware on your phone. Do not DL. Sigh."
Heads up people! do not download it !

Thanks and i think it's a scam too. imangi studios also shared this on facebook:
"In the meantime, anything on Android claiming to be Temple Run is a SCAM. When the real Temple Run is out, you guys will be the first to know!"
Google should be careful like Apple about security if they tell us not to use an antivirus software for Android. They say, they have an antivirus system scanning the apps uploaded to the Market, but it doesn't work well i think.

thanks for the heads up

Link comes up as item not found. Google acted pretty quickly on this...

Im glad they pulled it off the market.
I dont understand how they let it through in the first place .. i mean they stole the exact name/icon/developer name. That mustve been frustrating for Imangi Studios ..
Google should seriously revise their market rules and regulations.

[Solved] Android Market scammer issue

29-12-10 Edit: And they've been pulled, nothing to see here so just move along.
So I got Dungeon Hunter HD a few weeks ago when Gameloft was offering it for free on their website. Imagine my surprise today when I synced my Appbrain account and it showed that there was an update available for Dungeon Hunter HD on the Android Market! Did Gameloft finally cave and put their content onto the market?!
No such chance unfortunately...I clicked through to the market to find that the "game" was being offered by a dev called DavinciDevelopers who had the cheek to list gameloft.com as their official website.
Looking through their other apps, they also listed Avatar HD, Hero of Sparta HD and Spider Man. "Avatar HD" wants permissions to send, receive, edit and read SMS messages and "Spider Man" requests loads of bluetooth and wifi permissions.
Don't get conned by these scammers!
Unfortunately, I can't post links as a new member but the curious can find these apps by searching on Appbrain.
Edit: I have flagged these apps as inappropriate and would appreciate it if others did so too so they get pulled off the Market.
I despise Gameloft for not releasing their games in the Market.
If they did, I would actually start buying their games.
Go buy Dungeon Defenders in the Market, a much better game running the Unreal Engine made by developers that understand.
Agree

The fact is that this is just giving Gameloft another reason to shun the Market. Letting DavinciDevelopers be will only give them more of a chance to scam unwitting buyers who keep trying to get the game to work until the new 15 minute refund window is up.

Plants vs Zombies free at Amazon Appstore today only

Title says it all. Wifi download only. I know this isn't a general topics but i would really appreciate it if the mods left this in the general section for today only. I really would hate for someone to miss out for not looking in the theme and app section.

Can a nice US citizen post the game for the rest of the forgoten world? That would make us a little less mad at amazon for not working anywhere else.
74 MB though? Really? Thank God for App to SD.
al3xxx92, PM me. It's only free today from Amazon, so posting the game would be considered warez.

The daily free apps that get downloaded from the Amazon appstore will only work if you are logged into the Amazon appstore app on your phone. If the app doesn't work on you phone because you're outside of the US, I don't think you'd be able to get one of their free apps to work. Sorry, man. :'(
I think it's funny it says it is too big to download over a cellular network, with 4gLTE, nothing is too big.
(that's what she said)
The wifi restriction stinks. Will have to wait until I get home to download.
Saw this one droid-life this morning and got it, great game. I've been playing for around an hour but it's almost time to go to work...
Downloaded it. Glad it finally game to Android, it's an awesome game.
My install of CM7 doesn't have wifi working, so I "bought it" but haven't downloaded it yet.
I am on a fascinate which in theory should be able to run this game but every time I open it just black screens and sends me back to the home screen

Excellent game, downloaded it on my CM7 today!

Pinball HD?

MODS PLEASE READ OVER ENTIRE POST. First off let me start off by saying I'm strictly against piracy. With that said there should be protection for both the Developers and Customers from bring stiffed. I purchased Pinball HD for Tegra a couple months ago. It downloaded and installed perfectly fine on my Vibrant and ran with Chainfire 3d. Now since Google apparently gave the Dev's the ability to choose which devices are allowed to download it won't show up in the Market. I've contacted google concerning it and they told me to contact gameprom, in which I did. Gameprom basically told me they won't help me because I have a Vibrant. I don't feel it's right to not be able to enjoy/utilize something I've purchased. I have my google order receipt to show proof...so my question is if Someone who has the app can be kind enough to p.m. me. I'll attach my google order receipt if someone wants to see it. Please help I love that game.

Just search on google. Grey market apks aren't hard to find.
Theres also a cracked version of Pinball HD for tegra that will run without chainfire.
Its the only tegra game I've seen with such a crack.
Yeah, the Pinball THD has been cracked to Pinball HD. Same goes to T-Racer THD > T-Racer HD. From my perspective, it isn't wrong to play the same game that you've paid for. It can be viewed like this - you own the software, but then you "mod" it a little to be played on another device of yours. Piracy occurs if one didn't buy the game, but the one have and distribute it to others.
I fell in the same boat, and when I basically got the same response from them, I just used my 4shared app from the market to download the apk that I've already paid for. I definitely won't be buying any of their Apps till they change their bullshyt policy.

[Game] Pix'n Love Rush - Xperia Play Optimized

I believe there is no thread about this game.
I saw this game on the google play for the first time for a long time. I didn't buy it because the description doesn't say that the game is xperia play optimized.
But... I wanted a new game... And I like this kind of game.. So, i decided to give it a try...
My surprise is that the game is xperia optimized. The menus aren't, but in play the game is... And i think that is where it should be.
Enjoy.

Awesome! Will be added to the XperiaPlayGamer database pronto!
Thanks for posting. I love it when someone posts Gems like these cause I love me some old skool platforming

How could I possibly be any clearer? let me try again...
I, the potential customer, refuse to pay for a game with adverts in it.
Read the reviews and you will see that this is the main reason for its mediocre rating.

LordBattleBeard ,
Maybe I'm getting blind, but the only ads that I see in the game are in the startup menu and it's just for other games made by the same company....
For me, this kind of ads can be seen as information.. It's the company saying "Hi, i have made this games also... Just take a look"
I don't see any pop ups in game... or in any other menu...
To make it clear here goes a shot of the only ads that appear.

Yes but with no option to say "I've saw it now, so let me play the game without seeing this crap everytime I start it up".
If it was a free game, it'd be fine, but seeing as you pay for this, it should at the very least have the option to "not show again".
I wish they included the actual platformer from xbla indie games was released as it was better than this high score game

The game is worth it even with the ads though, don't miss it for a seconds seeing ads

Could this be true?? (Believe not)

Hey guys, found a site which seems like a paradise for every mobile gamer. Dreamcast & GameCube emulators for android with XperiaPlay support. Must say i couldn't download anything from there though. Does anyone know about this?? and sorry if it were already posted here but i couldn't find anything. Is it really or just big SH*T.
http://www.emuzone.org/gamecube-emulator-for-android/#gateway?rqdsg34bm&
Looks and sounds fake . Most site's that link to hosting sites with surveys are fake and promises great rewards for filling them in (emulators in this case). I have searched the web with the names of the emulators mentioned and can't find any information regarding them.
The only emulator that intrigued me into looking into this was the Dreamcast as the GameCube emu is definitely fake. Dolphin is the leading GC/WII emulator out to date and the emulator on the market hardly works at present on any mobile.
Oh well one day DrK will release NullDCE officially and with better powerful devices Dolphin will work too.

If yo ask me its bumpkiss. Any site that asks you to fill out a survey or something I avoid like the plague as its, not always, typically leaves junk on your computer.
oh yay another one of these threads... clearly fake and so are the 3ds emulators and Wii u, 360 and ps3 emulators.
