[Q] Less compatibility for Apps

Has anyone else noticed how many more apps are NOT compatible for Sensation (also Evo 3D)?
So far the following very popular great apps have issues:
> BackStab HD (Assasins Creed Clone)
Market Link
> Samurai II
Market Link
Any other noteworthy apps have problems? Most Developers are saying it is a phone issue and not their issue. Not sure thats true, but figured I'd put it out there since I haven't read anything about this.

Lol those are not Apps but games, has nothing to do.with sensation ...since its a fairly new phone support for those games will come later and now.go cry somewhere else. BTW i can play both games fine!

Are there apps that are not supported because of a specific phone or are they OS based?
I know NHL Gamecentre had an app (friend on a Desire Z had it) but I couldn't find it at all in the market and I had to find an apk on the internet and it installed fine then.

okay but why isn't google home there in the market place. When I go through the market on my PC it tells me its not availble for my phone but thanks to d/l of the apk file I know it works for it.

I have samurai ii. It crashes a lot! The description says that the sensation and evo 3d isn't compatible and it isn't the game.
Battleheart and zombieville usa has these problems too.
I tried them but will eventually crash.

The confusing thing is that all the games that are compatible with the Adreno 205/200 should be compatible with the Adreno 220 because of the backwards capability it has. I wonder what's causing the issues.

No need to be a **** about it. There are most certainly other applications aside from just "games" that are not working for the phone. It was intended to insight an answer regarding specifics for Sensation issues like the known bluetooth problems with HTC.
I'd love to know how you are playing these games fine if both explicitly say they don't support the phone. It's one thing to flame a dumb question, it's entirely another just to post crap. Grow up.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't see any real reason why it would not be supported. The only thing I could think of was Sense 3.0.
The irony is that the LG G2x is supported, but the Sensation is not. Go figure.

These games don't work because they were made using the Unity engine, apparently support is coming soon.

ive thrown plenty of games at my sensation with no problems yet. Download spare parts and enable compatibility for old apps, works like a charm for me at least

Help
Hey I can't run Asphalt 6 and Dungeon Defenders pls help

That's just kind of marketing problem, not Hardware problems.....
Like Tegra 2 games, you can find versions made not to check if it's tegra or not and working well on the Sensation (for ewample I have a 100% working Pinball HD For Tegra2)
And some games were written specifically for tegra (stupid!) and need some re-writting for Adreno now.
Also, the fact is that many warez won't work on the Sensation, more than on my previous device that's for sure.
Asphalt 6? Buy it on Gameloft wapstore directly, it works perfectly. Try warez: they'll mostly fail.
Finally, some games say they are not compatible just because with our qHD screen, touchscreen controlls will be messed up, like the version of Schrek Kart I had: working fluently, but you must press above the virtual buttons to get them working.
To finish: talking about apps not compatible:
if you try to install an app and it says "App NOT installed" and you can press "OK" and that's all.
=> Try installing this app via ADB ( adb install \name_of_your_app.apk ). Many will install this way and perfectly work!
That's what I did for many apps (Blackmarket alpha is one of them^^)

Thanks guys!

I have the same problem. Dont know whats causing it other than rockstar havent programed somthing correctly.
Im running a HTC ONE XL, Telstra branded.

Same here - EVO 3D with ICS, sound is crackling

Same issue, att HOX. I thought it was beats audio at first, but even when you turn it off, the crackling remains.

You're not alone, I get the same with Max Payne, with GTA3, occasionally with Osmos HD... Some games are fine, others aren't.

I was having the same issue when I got the ICS update to my HTC EVO 3D. I contacted Rockstar and this is what they are telling me:
"I was talking to some people here in the office and they said that we have had previous problems with sound on the Ice Cream Sandwhich with GTA III Mobile. It looks like as of now there isn't a direct fix. You may want to revert back to your previous OS to fix the issue.
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience"
So yeah. Its all about the game and I dont think an update is coming for this issue. Not right now at least...

Yeah. I have this problem and it's really annoying. Only seems to happen when playing quality sound games like GTA. Doesn't happen in scramble free.
I called HTC support and they said it's because their speakers are too small.

No its not beacuse of HTC, its because of Rockstar and their programming. I was playing without any issues when I was running Andoird 2.3.4, but when OTA ICS update came, the crackling started. Its not becuase of the speakers, its all about the game.
I never tried GTA3 after the update, but it was fine for me when I was on 2.3.4, didnt had any issues, it was running without any issues just like Max Payne.

I'm happy to confirm that this issue stopped for me after installing the stock Asia 2.23 ROM. :good:

I never had that issue on my HOX, but I have on my TouchPad. It appears to happen for no rhyme or reason.

yeah. i played it on my XE too. its not perfect, but its good. just sometimes the accelerometer stops working or something else. the car's steer freezes and it goes at a direction for some seconds and then it comes back to normal. i don't know that it is my phone's problem or the game's.

I have played through the entire game on my Sensation. At first I was hesitant to purchase it because I didn't know if it would run at all. To my surprise it ran reasonably well even on the stock Sense image I was using at the time. However, after playing through it a little there was obvious lag, stutters and just hiccups that would come at inopportune times and cause you to lose the race. I then switched launchers to Nova while still retaining the stock Sense ROM. Things got better, much better actually, but still not good enough. Then I rooted and went to cm9.1 stable + Nova and things were almost perfect! I played through the rest of the game, actually pretty much the whole game, with cm9.1 + stable and there were only a few occasions where framerates degraded or hiccups/stutters messed up the gameplay. I thought what I was seeing was pretty much the best the sensation could do. That was until I recently upgraded to Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang. With that ROM NFS-MW is now running practically perfect. I think the key difference here is the amount of free RAM. With CM10.1 I have significantly more free RAM and can hold open 2 or 3 times more apps than with CM9.1. The Sensation is severely lacking in the RAM department and NFS-MW is a very memory-demanding game. The lighter the OS load, the more RAM is available to the game, the less swapping occurs and the ultimately the more fluid the game plays. Hope that helps.

perfectly running under cm10 by albinoman
if you are running sense, use faux kernel 10b9 or 10b8 overclock it to 1.7 then use intellidemand as governor.

[Q] Vice City

Hello guys
I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried to edit build.prop file and buy Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from Google Play. Probably some of you heard that phone freezes while entering to the vehicle or while driving, but by foot it's ok. It's interesting, cause this HTC was supported week ago, like it is on GTA III.
Regards

Hello again,
No one had replied so I took a chance.
I've edited some lines the build.prop file and made HTC Sensation as HTC Rezound temporarily. After restarting the device, I bought and downloaded this game. First impression? It works, entering to the vehicle etc., so our HTC should be supported.
Regards

Well, tbh the game crashed twice while driving and it rly pissed me off, but later it was playable - especially on medium details and 60% of draw distance and 100% of screen resolution with enabled dynamic shadows and disabled frame limiter. Average FPS is 20.

I have bug of vheicle freezes on ICS/JB/SENSE/AOSP/CM. The problem is in the game...

Yeah, it's a bug with adreno 220.

Hi I want to edit the build.prop for my HTC Sensation XE. Is there any chance id end up in a bootloop? And do I have to use a ps3 controller when playing vice city or can I still use the onscreen buttons? Thanks.

Edited my build.prop and attached a screenshot of it as I have no idea which line you need to change.

GTA Vice City freezes

I am running cm10 on my sensation, and my gta vice city keeps freezing as soon as i drive around for a bit
It works fine on my brothers s3 and note 2
How can I fix this
Many thanks

It's an issue on Rockstar's end, there is a ton of pretty ugly bugs with the Adreno 220, one being the entire phone freezing when entering a vehicle. Lots of draw issues too. Bad lag (I mean damn... The HD2 runs it just fine), Wait for an update from R*.

I thought the game wasn't caompatible with sensation

on the playstore it says Not Compatible

Yes, i just checked and sensation is not listed under compatible models
But people are having this problem even on supposedly supported models, so rockstar need to fix these issues
