a700 great color and speed what to do with now? - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

I have the a700 and am trying to get the most bang for my buck, I love this device but I miss playing all the games I had on my xoom. Can anyone tell me why I can't get any of the good gameloft, or EA games I have already bought. I was trying to blame Acer, but than took the blame to Gameloft but with some apps not working on my phone now I wonder if it is Ice Cream sandwich's fault. I am mainly opening this post to see what solutions are out there.
P.S. I have not rooted my a700 but I am not aposed to doing so for a remedy. Thanks

Since you purchased tha games already, have you tried contacting GL or EA support?
Speaking of games, download Dead Trigger. Kill zombies and have fun.

Gameloft games working great...

I used Gamelofts website and bought a few of my favorites (Its buy 1 for 4.99 and get a game for free btw). It thinks the phone is an I9000 SGS but everything is working great and the games look amazing on the the 4.5"screen.
I was bummed that I could not use the version of the games that I bought for my Inspire,but so is life.
Agreed, Dungeon Hunter 2 HD looks amazing. Also, Settlers 4 works, but I got a crash once.
Does Gameloft allow re-download free of charge? Let's Golf looks good and I'd like to have it on my Infuse and Transfromer.
thanks for the heads up!
I did this to, I bought a few games from there mobile site cause it thinks my Infuse is a Galaxy S phone but when i went on there today it now sees my phone as an SGH-I997 and says there are no games available for my phone. Guess i'm lucky i bought games while I could!

Can you re-download games at no charge or do you have to pay each time?

Yeah the same thing for me. I did figure out that if I put it in Airplane mode and use WiFi you can tell Gameloft you are using a SGS I9000 and see all the games.
Good thread about to download some tonight
Wow, thanks for the heads up on this! I was just about to write a post asking why the Infuse can't use anything good from Gameloft and if it will ever be able to- i.e. does the Infuse just have the wrong GPU?
I know this is sort of a work around, but I'll take it. Gameloft has some of the best, most polished Action, 3D, RPG, Sim, etc. titles around (I have a few favs- NOVA1-2, MC:BP, Order&Chaos, let's golf on my iPhone4 and iPad). I'm even willing to re-pay to re-play some just to see them on this beautiful screen we have! I was just about to get Asphalt 6 and Shadow Guardian for my iDevices, but maybe I'll go Android with these if they run as well.
+ thanks to you if I can figure out how!
bump any word from gameloft on when they will get us some games?
gameloft doesnt seem to want to support att phones, it is odd but they had games up for the vibrant and not the captivate.
also you should be able to run apk's for other devices if you use chainfire3d and download the api for the tegra2 and qualcomm chipsets.

chainfire 3d is in the market, after the app install the driver needs to be installed from inside the app, the phone will reboot.
I don't remember where I found the plugins for qualcomm and nvidea but they are xda somewhere. once yoy download then to the sdcard you go into chainfire 3d and select "install plugins" it will search all folders on the sd cards. after it finds all the plugins you install them one at a time. you can uninstall from the "manage plugins" menu. once you have a plugin installed go into open gl settings and load it.
depending on the game yoy may need to hide chainfire 3d (there is a setting for that) and maybe even spoof build.prop to make it run. chainfire 3d will give the api support but that doesn't mean the game isn't locked to the device by other means or that the device will meet the requirements to run the game. (it should being that only the adreno 220 has a significant advantage over our gpu and only 2 us devices use it)
Thanks!

Games on the HTC sensation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz2thUOouqA
Does the phone seem laggy when the guy is searching for the games, while browsing thru the home screens?
It sucks that asphalt 6 cant be played yet, hope they make it compatible soon
Also waiting impatiently for first supported Gameloft games.
MOD EDIT-LINKING TO WAREZ IS STRICTLY AGAINST THE XDA RULES. INFRACTION GIVEN.
You can download the .apk s from here. I'm pretty sure they'll work. Work like a charm on my Desire S. Be sure to enable UNKNOWN SOURCES in settings.
huh? games i can play on the hd2 i can't play on the sensation? is it because of the screen size? can't be because of the processing power.
didnt notice any lag in the following games :
NOVA 2 HD
Modern Combat 2 HD
Fast 5 HD
Galaxy on Fire 2
Fruit ninja
GraveDefense HD
Pinball HD for tegra
Samuarai Vengeance 2
ExZeus and
Asphalt 6 HD
most of them are gameloft games i got working and some are even nvidia tegra games only which i have....these games look just fabulous !
wait, you can play tegra games on the sensation?

At the moment no, mainly because of the qHD resolution on the Sensation, but i am pretty sure they will support it in the future. Meanwhile you can try the Desire HD version of the games, although you won.t be able to get one unless is cracked, so i am not encouraging this

every gameloft game works great for me.
Download Spareparts+ off market, open it, enable compatibility mode and restart device. Any app ive thrown at it ive had no problems
What doesn't work?
I picked up Asphalt 6 HD and Dungeon Hunters HD during the 2/$3 deal.
Both have been working great for me. Didn't need to install anything extra.
Samurai 2 Vengeance is a sick game on both DHD and sensation, proper hack and slash beat em up, brings me back to the double dragon and renegade days, god i feel old saying that.
Totemo HD, just a great little game, easy to play and hard to finish.
PES2011 works better than the ps1 couterpart, great optimizing to get this to run so well on a phone.
Pool Break Pro, the best way to chill on a train when some kids screaming next to you, just pop on your headphones and break, cool game.
Meteor blitz, cool game.
Random Mahjong
Tiger Mame, neogeo on your phone ? Neo turfmasters, kof etc etc.
yeah, lot of the games are starting be become available on the Sensation.
Need for Speed works very well as well as Samurai 2 Vengeance.
I hope Konami and Capcom gets on the ball and bring MGS and SF.

Gameloft's customer service is one of the best around.
I've had the same experience.
I wrote them regarding Asphalt 6 making the Sense reboot upon exit and they offered me a free game to make up for the inconvenience.
I wasn't expecting that and was caught off guard by that gesture.
I just wrote them so they know about the issue in hopes maybe they can come up with a fix on a future update or something...
talk about going above and beyond to make a customer happy...
and they are still working on the problem. it's been escalated to higher ups.
perhaps they'll have a fix soon.

Dead Space hardware controls not working

I picked up Dead Space from the Android Market recently on my Play, and the hardware controls don't seem to respond at all. Does it matter if I pick up the game from the android market or from the xperia play launcher?
15 minutes went by before I had the game loaded up. EA doesn't respond to my emails. Feels bad man. I haven't been able to find anything on Google about this issue, I'll keep searching though.

EDIT: nevermind.
i bought it yesterday fo 49pence thinking it was for the play, off the market giveaway prices, guess that was a fluke, i also use it on my tf101, what an awesome game, and real pity not optimized for our play.
The EA free version works (1.1.33), the Play Store version (1.1.38) doesn't works in our phone.
This is a absolute disgrace by EA iv sent emails with my purchase and no response! I sent a email from my iPhone and guess what they answered straight away fuming I am !! Still no fix :-(

any way to grab a .33 version of the apk...i did purchase it, should ea let me pick my version that works...stupid ea
Its absolutely ridiculous that they cant just make the market versions compatible, but instead make us jump through these stupid hoops to get the correct version for our phone.......sigh.......
It's idiotic that EA, or any other dev, doesn't just update all their games with the Xperia Play in mind and just have the code check for it. Especially since I didn't get a chance to really test out the game until after the 15 min window was up.
well for what its worth i sent in a support ticket about dead space two and the correct versions...
also sent gameloft a ticket about NOVA 2 and the lack of support unless i go through them, even though its not stated in android market...even on gamelofts site it shows the xperia play and nova 2 on it..
humm...stupid companies
Only 1.1.33 works on Xperia Play. I solve mine by download 1.1.33 apk and get the SD of 1.1.38... but what's the different between 1.1.33 and 1.3.38? Didn't understand EA.....
Will Real Racing 2 get xperia play optimized ? Or are EA just too stubborn to do that?

Help!
Even though I downloaded Dead Space from the Flexion store, it won't recognize the Xperia Play gamepad and touchpads and the only option it gives me for playing the game is with the touchpad controls. I checked and it is v1.1.33. I also wanted to download Battlefield: Bad Company 2. But it says it isn't compatible with my device. Is the problem that it doesn't recognize my device as an Xperia Play? I really want to play both these games so badly.

It says compatible, but yeah I don't know if they PLAY controls work. It doesn't make sense to have different versions (only Gameloft does that crap). I had them already anyway, but got Shadowgun.
NFS Hot Pursuit have controls on pad, but not touch stick, only arrows.
About Dead Space - don't know.

Dead Space uses the touchpad only and it works very well actually. If NFS works that means they don't have different versions which is good.

I recently downloaded a copy of Shadowgun to test before it became available on the Play Store for 49p.
The problem I am having is that the Play Store says I purchased the game and I can't get it to allow me to actually Buy the game (because of the copied version I had).

I don't think Osmos is Xperia Play optimized.
NOVA 2 is one of those Gameloft titles you have to buy from their WAP Shop to get Xperia Play controls. You're SOL.
The only Gameloft titles you can get from Google Play that support the controls are Modern Combat 3 and I think 9mm. Otherwise you have to go to their WAP Shop.

Try uninstalling if you havent already, then go to your Applications/ manage apps and look for the market (Google Play) under the "All" tab and select clear cache & data, then go back into the market, with no shadowgun installed, and try to buy it again. IT should work then

EDIT: If they left out the Xperia PLAY due to its ancient hardware, what's the point of making it Gingerbread-compatible altogether? I think it's safe to assume that devices stuck on GB up to today are weaker or at par with the Xperia PLAY. So what's the point Rockstar?

Its Rockstar and the 3rd party dev (War drum studios) that ported it that is the issue here.

Take alook at the market listing, it seams it does not work on any device even if they are modern at the momment.

It's getting one star reviews because it's crashing for some people. They've already patched it once today but it needs another. It's going to be the best game ever once they get passed this latest issue.
The Google Play version lists Android 3.0 as the minimum requirement but the Amazon listing says Android 2.3 which is most likely due to it needing to be compatible with the kindle fire. I wonder if the Amazon version will work if they make it available to devices outside the kindle fire, it doesn't look like it's going to have a kindle specific version.
