[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!

Can you specify some that crash?
For me none are crashing but I might be missing those you try...

Some HD games crash on mine, im guessing they dont support the phone yet

Not one game loft game works...also dead space gta etc I can't get running

Games.
Plants vs Zombies crashes like an idiot
The Game of Life is also another one but does let you play a little before it crashes
Zynga poker crashes but not as frequent as the other two
Apps
mainly my WOW armoury and ebay r the main ones that crash.
I do think this might be down to Android 4.0 as its fairly new and the games and apps might need an update.

Gta3 and Max Payne sound issues?

Is anyone else having crackling sound issues in these games. Its driving me insane....

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.

[Q] Plants vs Zombies 2

Hey,
The latest Plants vs Zombies craze. PvZ 2 has been released worldwide. But unfortunately it is not compatible with our Sensation, since it has less than 1GB of RAM.
Has anyone installed the apk on our phone?? Please let us know how it runs.
Also has anyone managed to install it directly from the play store (by editing build.prop or some such trickery), since it is not possible to download from Play Store on our Device..

Installed the apk even before it was on play store and yes it runs well. The only thing is that the game uses much resources so the phone gets hot and battery life is weak

my friend could download it on his Galaxy W, which has 512 MB RAM, so i guess RAM is not the issue.
but you can download it from other sources anyways, nothing to be concerned about.

100% working
I also installed PVZ 2 and it runs great! My ROM is Viper 2.0.0...

can you please send me link of pvz 2 ? cant get working one
