[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!

my phone is still stock, I could not put a permanent root yet, but I think I'll do to better performance.

Coming from PC Graphics if the display is doing that it looks like a fault with the GPU, possible over heating, not making contact with heatsink etc. Perhaps the game is making you phone overheat? I'll have to try the game myself and see if it does it.

Happened since the 2.3.4 update.

So,it might be the problem with the Game itself...generally i am limited to Angrybirds and Unblock Me types of games...so dont have much idea.

This is the only correct reply in the thread so far.
Custom kernels have fixed this.

This is because of stock kernel. HTC screwed up and you can't play heavier games games now. Known issue

Same thing happened to me on stock with the same game. Haven't tried it with CM7 and Faux's kernel yet.

Wow seriously? Wtf is up with HTC? They are really dropping the ball with this one.

Mine force closes samurai if I don't have wifi on ever since the 2.3.4 update. I just uninstalled samurai for now until htc fixes the problem. I don't really play games that much so it doesn't bother me. I do watch a lot of movies on my phone, so as long as it plays movies fine, then I am good.

Other games work fine. Gameloft games, battleheart, zombieville. They run on the unity engine, like samurai ii

Tested it out, works really well. No issues at all. To clarify, I'm running CM7 Alpha 5 and Faux's CM7/AOSP 0.1.9 kernel.

about Modern combat 3!please MC3 players read!need help!

so,i am running THE coredroid 2.7 xe rom.
setcpu frequency is 1,5ghz ondemand bricked kernel..
whatever i tried...it is compared to my desire HD sooo slow...it doesn't load multiplayer on time...just after 3 full minutes it responds....:Swhile i am hearing from other sensation(xe)users that it plays without any problems...what the heck am i doing wrong

Try updating ur game to New version but I'm assuming you haven't done it already but I think the game has got faster at loading and playing but I think it can be even better.

Sensation's N.O.V.A. 3 advanced graphics and effects

Hi people, since Nova's 3 release, i've been wondering why our Sensation version has no full video effects (like blur, depth of field, hi-res textures and improved shaders...), and another phones like SGS 2, have it. Take a look over Youtube and search S2 gameplay and Sensation gameplay; youll be able to see the difference. Why is it possible? If I use Chainfire 3d I can see the full effect mode, but in certain part of the game (sometimes at first load) game stasrs to turn the screen to black and show glitches and artifacts that ruin the game because they do it unplayable. Anyone has the Sensation and can play nova with full effect?
Rrgsrds!!

on my galaxy tab 7+ the gameplay is like ps3 but on sensation it is like nova 1

how did you get it to play? it refuses to download on my sensation because "it is not compatible"

I just bought it on Play Store. I'm using ICS AOSP (sense based) ROM - Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2.
Anyone else have tried it and want to conplain? We can write emails to Gameloft. It's not too fair paying 6 euros by a low end version.

Here same as you. Probably its due to Adreno 22x processor architecture or something like that, because the HTC One S has this problem too. But the matter is... Its likely that Gameloft fixes the One S problem soon, but Im afraid the HTC Sensation won't be that lucky. Gameloft develop a low version for the Sensa and avoid working on it because it isnt new like the HTC One s. Bussiness matters...
What do u think guys?

ya i play nova 3 on my htc sensation with full effect

I play N.O.V.A. 3 without put Chainfire 3d , and the game i perfect with full effects . I'm with Elegancia Sens 4 v.2.2.0 and everithinh is perfect , it's fly

maybe the graphics glitches are due to ics because it runs fine on full effects on my evo 3d non ics yet.

After suffering the screen turning black issue, i have had some success. I am running the elegancia sense 3.6, 2.5 rom with the sebastian kernel, and chainfire drivers. I checked the box to hide CF running, and disabled the mapbuffer emu, in the settings and am using the powervr plugin. this is working really well with no issues so far.

If you hide CF, you play the low end stock version of the game for our Sensation, because the game doesn't detect the cf driver, so you are not enabling the advanced effects. The question is... why doesn't gameloft enable the high graphics to the Sensation? It posseses a high end hardware like Adreno 220. Why?

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.
