[Q] SimCity on Asus Transformer TF300 - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got SimCity originally for my DHD in the £/$0.10 sale.
Google Play states it's compatible with TF300. I download, run and open fine.
However within 5 minutes of playing the game will completely freeze up. Sound continues to play, and will continue to play even after returning to the home screen.
Has anyone else tried? Also I'm on version .17. I don't know if an update will fix it.

I also purchased simcity on my pad and had the same exact problem. Doesn't seem like EA is doing much to address this either, given it's low eating in the Play Store

I tried to find a way to contact EA about the problem but couldn't. When you go to game support, SimCity for mobile or Android doesn't show up.

Same issue here; it seems it's a problem with ICS.
If someone have a solution it will be great .

Almost certainly related to this problem. My users are reporting similar problems on my apps that are utilizing the newer ARMv7 instructions.

My solution to this problem would be to cut your losses and boycott ea games and not buy anymore android games from them anymore. If you have been around the android scene long enough, you would know that they are notorious for providing little to no support for their android games. If later on down the road, the game works for you, then great. If not, oh well.

[Q] Gameloft HD games are ₤1 this weekend

Has anyone tried to run any gameloft games on their transformer? The device isn't listed but I was thinking of choosing the atrix as it has tegra.. modern combat 2 looks pretty good..
http://www.gameloft.com/android-hd-games/
wont work.
Damn ok. I figure the Xoom ones will, but I'm not really interested in any of the games for the xoom. Nevermind
I just bought Spiderman total Mayhem for the xoom and it works perfectly on my transformer but I got charged £3 so i am about to mail and complain
any gameloft game that can allow u to play online multiplayer wont work on the transformer due to it not having a imei . hopfully we will see a rom with a spoofed imei
the Acer Iconia A500 or Motorola Xoom works fine with Asus Transformer.
Best way to download these for your transformer?
Or $1.65 for us Yanks
I wish these were on Android Market.
I wanted to be able to buy them, but their page never sends a SMS message, and you cant seem to get past the "buy" popup for SMSing.
Spiderman has now started force closing on me since the 3.1 update

game compatibility issues now that I upgraded to the infinity from the prime

So I recently upgraded to the infinity and I am loving it the speed and screen resolution are awesome! much better then the prime. However, there are a few games I bought while on the prime that seem to have issues on the infinity...I should have seen this seeing as the resolution is better. Anyways the games are:
Dead space (I am really upset about this one, I was just about to beat it on the prime).
Order and Chaos
The Sims FreePlay
Modern Combat 3
Any help you all could provide on this would be helpful. Has anyone gotten these games to work on their infinity?
P.S. the fact that the games are either from gameloft or EA hasn't gone unnoticed (we all know how great they are at updating their games).

Have you tried side-loading these apps to see if the really work or not? Sometimes, an app/game will be listed as incompatible for your device in the Play store, but will actually still work fine if side-loaded...

Yeap, what he said. Plus it may help for you to contact them directly. I did this for a game in the past and they provided me an alternative download that still checked that I was authorized, but not the device was authorized. I got an email a month later as a FYI that the app was now gtg for my device (gnote) so I uninstalled/reinstalled (after TBing the game, just incase) the version from the APP store.
yea I emailed them directly yesterday...we'll see what they say.
Modern Combat 3 plays much better on the Infinity vs Prime. I still get connection losses but not as frequent. I'm actually able to finish a few rounds before a connection loss. Game play seems to be much smoother as well.

I have a similar problem with Real Racing and Need For Speed Shift, which are real losses. Can't find an EA Games email address so I hope they're working on it.

Experiences with Shadowgun THD (and any other 'THD' games) on TF700

Hey guys,
I had this on another forum, but unfortunately that forum has moderators who take their job way too seriously and the topic was moved to a dead section before I could get more than one reply. But that's not important, so...
I am looking for everyone and anyone's experiences with Shadowgun THD on this device. I was digging through the Play Store's reviews and saw a ton of TF201 owners who couldn't even play the game (and a few that recommended it oddly enough), and the one TF700 review I was able to find said he experienced some lag and force closes.
Have any of you guys played the THD version on your Infinity? Experience any issues? Is it worth the (supposedly minor) graphic enhancements?
I have not purchased the normal version, I was holding out buying the game until I got this tablet, but now I am not sure if the increased graphic display will drag down gameplay. The bit of experience I had with a Madfinger game is DeadTrigger. Even though this game is not specifically a Tegra version, I am able to play on the Ultra-High graphics setting with no issues. I will say this, watching zombies fly backwards after being shot with a shotgun on an Android device is damned impressive.
Any experience or thoughts is greatly appreciated. The one reply I received on the aforementioned board was that the user experienced no issues, but I would like to hear from as many people as possible. Thanks!

No problems for me except the game isn't outputting native 1920x1200. It looks to be an upscaled 1280x800 so it will look relatively blurry on the infinity's screen.
Plays fine on mine. Especially fun using one of my PS3 controllers through the Sixaxis app

Yeah the main reason I'm getting this game is because it is one of the few shooters with gamepad support, which is way more snappy than touch emulation.

I sometimes have trouble getting this game to play smoothly after I start shooting. If I reboot the tablet or just clear all running tasks using the task manager, it plays very well.

Kind of related, I just tried Auralux for the first time on my JB TF700 and it laggs like hell, every 5 or 10 seconds it freezes, anyone else with this problem? I thought this was a "famous" game everyone has, but I doubt it if it laggs like this.
I never played Shadowgun THD for too long on the TF700 cause the framerate is way too low. I also experienced a few crashes. The weird thing is, I played this game a lot on my HTC One X, and never had any low framerate or crash issue. I know the screen resolution on the two devices is different, but as someone mentioned before, Shadowgun isn't displayed in 1920*1080 on the TF700.
I had no issue in Dead Trigger. The framerate is much more solid, even if the resolution of the game is higher.
I also played all the free levels of Auralux, and there was no freezes, the game was really enjoyable. However, in Beach Buggy Blitz, it's impossible to max the graphics settings if you want to keep a decent framerate. Once again, no issue on my One X, but unlike Shadowgun, the game is displayed in Full HD on the TF700, where it's "only" 720p on the One X.
Absolutely no problems with shadowgun or NOVA 3... after jelly bean update NOVA 3 flies!
interesting post as i play the regular Shadowgun on my tf700 with no problems. the graphics actually look really good and game play has been solid for me. i actually just emailed the game developers yesterday because i thought i had the THD version and realized it was the regular, i was requesting if they could help with switching, which they agreed to do (buy THD and they will refund the regular). but now im having second thoughts after reading this post. i may buy it, see how it plays and return if not as good or better.
i also play Dead Trigger and the graphics and game play are excellent on it as well.
actually, all my games are playing MUCH better after JB update. this is my second tf700 (the first had accidental damage and was replaced via squaretrade) and actually things on this one seem to run pretty good overall.

Hmm that's weird, any idea what the problem might be for me? I've tried to close all tasks with the stock app manager and closed all tasks in the task bar. I play the game but it's annoying as hell when it freezes every 5 seconds. May it that it's a hardware problem? Auralux seems fun to play...if it would work.
I just tried Dead trigger also, and it also tends to lag...don't think it did before JB update though.

So, to be sure, I restarted Auralux... and yes, there are freezes indeed. Maybe not as often as you describe, but freezes nonetheless.
The only thing that has changed between the last time I played Auralux and now is that I upgraded my tablet with the official JB update. I don't know if it's related, or even why it would be.
Maybe someone with a custom JB rom could try the game (it's free) and tell us if he's also facing such freezing issue.

Good luck. Hopefully one of the mods here won't move it to the Q&A forum effectively killing it. I wish that forum didn't exist, the mods have killed several of my threads that had just gotten going in generating some discussion by moving it to the Q&A forum which basically stops the thread cold.

I have the non-THD version and it is awesome. The reviews you saw where it was failing were probably due to ICS NVIDIA driver bug that effectively made the TFs under ICS unable to play 3d games.

Ah okey, so I am not the only one having the freezes this frequently?
Has anyone tried playing Shadowgun THD in cleanrom? Does it make any difference in performance? I know the benchmark scores and general tasking is much faster and less laggy.
I'd just like to say my game runs like a dream. JB + root, nothing else. The rest is stock
Also the multiplayer beta runs just as well. Its a baller ass game

New Update Comming?

So I was so mad that Need For Speed Most Wanted didn't work on the Tablet so I asked on Firemonkeys Support why and they told me this
Code:
Hi Rodolfo,
We apologize that we have not been able to support your device for launch.
Unfortunately there are some problems with the GPU drivers on the ASUS Transformer range that
ASUS and nVidia are aware of and working to release a firmware update to fix.
Once these issues have been corrected, your device should be able to download the game.
Regards,
Nina.

Could be true or could be there way of passing the blame, Who knows to be honest..
Please, lame excuses.
All EA and Gameloft games work fine on the Infinity. They're just too lazy to change the compatibility list on Google Play. I'm running most of them, all without issues.
Imo, doesn't mean anything special. This tablet has some gaming performance problems with many games, not only NFSMW. Check Asphalt 7, The Dark Knight and Babel Rising 3D performance compared to let's say a Galaxy S3. Resolution may be a factor but gpu is weak even in those so hyped Tegra 3 games with choppy framerates (i have watched some Nexus 7 gaming videos, framerate doesn't seem to be different in some games)

Agreed. I have Asphalt 7 and TDKR.
S3 = perfect!
TF700 = Framerate lag. However, Asphalt 7 is bearable if you play with the keyboard or a controller (the lag is less noticeable like that, for me at least).
It's sad how such a high quality tablet with great specs performs so poorly. Hah, a smartphone can perform better than a tablet. Wow.
I'm not sure I could trust a statement like that unless it came from Asus or nvidia directly. Forward that directly to Tien or Gary and see what they say.
Why is this thread in the general section? This should be in the apps section. People look at this and think your talking about an OTA from ASUS...Moderator move this please!

Hi Ned Flanders !

[Q] My First Tablet : TF300T?

Hi there,
I'm looking for my first tablet... Here's what i want to do with it :
- Read mails and surf on web (avoid to go on desktop computer in a separate room...)
- Read eBooks and view Film in train
- Play games! (NOVA3 and over more recent games...) maybe buy a Bluetooth game pad to play on TV after?
As you can see, it would be for travel too... So i first think about Nexus 7. But when i see it, it's just too small...
What about TF300T (with keyboard)?
- TF300T has a good fallowing? (Does it pass to 4.2 soon? as example)
- all games work ok on it? (specially Gameloft)
- any fealing or regret for some of you?
- Is it still the good time to buy a TF300T (which begin to be a bit old, no?)
Thanks in advance....
Cast.
I'm very happy with my tf300t 32gb. The 10 inch screen is very nice. I've read a good bit about the keyboard and have decided to purchase one soon. As for 4.2, I read that Asus is in beta testing and it should be released before the end of the year.

I owned a 32gb with dock for about 6 months. I sold it for the nexus 10. For me, I used it for surfing, a little gaming, loved it while traveling, especially with the keyboard dock. My main problem was the I/O especially on web browsing. Don't get me wrong, its a great device, just not the one for me. I did lots of research, questions on here, reviews comparisons on YouTube and went with the nexus 10. Should be her Monday!!
From other members on here who came from the tf brand they said the performance is very noticible.
Granted there are some great things, expandable storage, and the keyboard dock. The performance just wasn't there for me..

For me it was wait errors and then close browser or wait. It happened often, or it was just slow. When I would use the iPad it was so clean, and quick with pages loading. From what I hear the nexus 10 is leaps ahead of the tf300. The tf300 is older gen quad core. The nexus 10 brand new dual core, that outperformed the tegra processors.
Its just had to explain, it was just slow, sometimes felt like 30+ seconds to load.. let me find you a YouTube video about this...

Yes, that's a big plus for me too - but with Stock ROM I got some browser closes when I had opened many tabs - also some games were laaging a bit, so I'd recommend you to unlock and flash a Custom ROM (I do it on every of my Android devices :laugh
I think at the moment TF300T (or TF700T, but for just a display difference TF700 is too expensive compared with TF300)and Nexus 10 are the best 10 inch tablets, but Nexus 10 has only 16GB what is just not enough if you want to watch movies and play (Gameloft) games while travelling, because both things just need much space...
So I can really recommend you this tab, I've had no problems so far and it was really worth the money (Except when it fell on the floor once and had a grey screen and I thought Tab was broken - unfortunately just RAM was ****ed up for the moment, Reboot "fixed" this )
I was in your position a few months ago but went ahead and purchased one after selling my Xoom. At first I was a little unsure if I had done the right thing and there were a few performance problems but after unlocking, rooting and installing custom ROMs any problems i had have now completely been eliminated.
With the dock the and extra storage you really can't go wrong. I'd recommend buying one but only if your prepared to unlock and root it. There are plenty of guides in these forums and a whole bunch of helpful people if you get stuck.
Iam currently running the CleanRom 2.7 Rom and it's absolutely amazing, my tablet is flying along rather nicely
