Its just appeared on both the android market and the gameloft site on my phone. The gameloft site sells it for £3 and the android market for £4.99. Would both include correct optimization for xperia play controls? Anyone know? Also is it true that if I buy from gameloft site then change phone sometime I won't be able to redownload but I can if I get it from the market? Please respond soon as I'm itching to buy it

Ok I gave in and bought from Android market (in case I ever change phone) I'll find out the hard way if the controls work
I loved Order & Chaos on iOS. I'll be buying it too, but first I'll keep peeled to see how you like the controls
Its a ***** to get gameloft to send you the apks again. When I wiped my phone I asked them and they flat out told me I never bought the games. Luckily I realized I had the apks on my SD card still

The other issue is if you buy from the gameloft store, you can never use that apk on another android device. They are always tied to the device type. I learn that lesson the hard way. I had 6 games from them on my droid x, couldn't install a single one on my XP.
I'll never buy another gameloft game, or that BS from the ea flexion store.
If you bought legitmently the game,just google deeper to retain
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
Just bought it on the market so I can install it on my Xoom as well.

Wow, really? They've been good about giving me the latest APKs when I have an issue.
The purchase history section of their mobile store is unreliable at best, but when I provide proof of purchase (I ALWAYS buy through Amazon Payments so I have an undeniable source) they usually send me the APK... and have even given me free games to make up for issues I've had :\
Ok I bought it from android market, the xperia play controls do not work and seems to be no option to enable them? I waited all this time to buy it too... Should have just googled for it ages ago eh...since gameloft spent so much time on NOT optimizing it.

Funny; I was just wondering the same thing and bought it from the Gameloft Store based on that thought...
As a side note, I notice the Amazon Payments option is gone >_<, but on the plus side there's now an account system (and an e-mail notification upon purchase) so I have a more reliable system of seeing what I purchased. That was a VERY necessary change.
I'll report if my story's any different after the data download is complete. Right off the bat I don't see it in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... not a good sign.
I hope it's just an update issue and will be fixed soon.
FFFF.... subscription expired... damn, it wasn't that long since I ditched iOS.
...anyway, I can't report anything because my subscription's up and the son of a ***** subscription service is down (apparently it's been down for days too).
Awww.. was hoping to find out, if anyone else tests out the gameloft site's download of Order and Chaos on Xperia play can you let us know if the controls work? Its just touch screen which is ok...but disappointing....

Well, I've been questioning Gameloft on the issue, and from what they say - it may just be a bug (does Gameloft have a error testing staff? Surely someone is testing to avoid these major issues...).
Gameloft's good about giving away free stuff to distract us from issues... hopefully they'll just bump my subscription some months or something so I can find out if this is really Xperia PLAY Optimized... or at least play while I wait for a version I can play without (lame) touch controls.
Thanks mate, been waiting for a while - id always buy from the market, more resiliance in the long run!
We should all join a guild together, what server are you going on (i'd recommend the top one)
I don't have an account so I'll have to wait until the subscription service errors are fixed.
Thanks, ive emailed them too. I made a char on the European server, storm cape.

Well I downloaded it and it seems fun but there is a lot of lag. Like when I cast a spell the animation and everything plays but the spell itself won't cast well after it's cast time. Also adding xperia play support would greatly enhance the experience as it's pretty annoying at times with the touch screen controls.

I am an experienced Android user and have rooted my OG EVO and EVO LTE with never any problems. The question I have is. How to install the Play Store on a Nabi 2? I've downloaded the .apk directly to the Nabi, installed without a hitch. When I go to open; it just closes. Not a crash or force close but just an instant close. Any ideas on how to keep it open? I watched a You Tube vid on a guy using a Nabi 1 with the Play Store and believe me. I've done everything perfectly......so please please give me some advice.

I just bought the tablet for my niece and I am having the same problem...I also tried downloading a few apps from 4 shared and it instantly closes them also...I know its a new tablet so hopefully they will have a fix soon! Its really an amazing tablet and to have the quad core processor in it just makes it even better!

It's almost the same specs as the 7! I was blown away by it! I obviously hate the fruit company, that's why I'm here. I traded my sister a tv for my son's itouch. Since the whole trial with Samsung I almost want to throw up. So I told him that I have to sell it & his leapad. He was so excited to get his Nabi & I'm jealous! The dual modes is phenomenal & a seamless experience. All I want to do is be able to get the play store on it. Amazon runs without a hitch, at least I was able to install Appy Geek! So please someone just gimme a little advice on how to get our beloved play store.

I found the .apk downloaded it on the Nabi and when I installed it, it failed and simply stated not installed. Am I going to have to wait for a root to get the play store?

Post-Launch Nabi 2 Tablet FAQs
Q: Where is Google Play? How do I install it?
A. Google's Support Site: The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Google Play is an application that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install the Google Play Store app on their devices.
If you don’t have the Google Play Store app, and your device is not listed here, that means your device is not supported for use with Google Play at this time.
There is currently no Google Play Store apk that can be sideloaded successfully onto the nabi 2 Tablet without experiencing Forced Closure when used. Fan-a-Tech Eric is working hard on a solution that will allow users to do this. When available it will be posted here on the blog.

The EverythingNabi site has just posted a how-to for getting most of the Google apps installed and working on the Nabi 2. There is still an issue of force closing with the Play Store, but Music works now as well as Gmail and Youtube.
Here is the link:

I just found out about this tablet. Makes me wish I had an older child, as I think this may be a little too advanced for my 2 year old.
I got one for my 2yr 4 m old daughter. She uses the paint program, looks at pictures and watches Dora and yo gabba gabba on netflix. Still waiting on the play store so I can use it after she is asleep! Amazon app store works with no problems until someone comes up with a solution

My 2 year old loves her Nabi2, also had a Nabi1 before she was 2. Suprised on how fast they learn to navigate the screens.
She is pretty advanced for her age, but they are setup pretty easy, so I am sure your kid would be fine if they are at least an average kid. Some kids that are slower learners may have some issues at 2.
Partial solution here...

I have an iPad 3 and my daughter likes playing with that. Of course, I'm hesitant to let her really get into it considering A: It's $500, B: It's MY tablet, meaning I have my own apps and stuff that I don't want her messing with, and C: Because she just LOVES touching that home key, it's hard to keep her in 1 app.
Still, the tablet does look intriguing. I think that tablet computers can be good learning tools. Hell my old kindergarten has a whole slew of iPads that they let the students use, although they have more plastic surrounding them than Joan Rivers' face so that they don't break when dropped or beaten up. And quite frankly, given how begrudgingly I picked up the iPad, the last thing I need is to bring yet ANOTHER one of them in the house. 2 iPads are enough (my wife has my old 2 and I have the new generation model.) I like to think we balance it out with 2 Samsung Android phones.
I actually just put two of these on layaway at Walmart this Saturday. One for my 8yo stepson who's been hounding me for a tablet for about a month, and the other for my 2yo. My little guy steals my Nexus 7 all the time to play Sonic CD and even posts pictures of himself on my google+ account. You'd be amazed at how fast a child can pick up the UI on an android device, it's so intuitive. I think any child lucky enough to have parents willing to blow $200 on a "toy" for a preschooler will have a field day with the Nabi. Now I'm just hoping that we have the play store fully functional before Christmas. I've purchased almost every high end game from gta3 thru horn, and was and am planning on linking my google acct, and installing them onto the boys tablets after they open them. I really wish I could get my hands on one now so I could pull a log-cat and see what's going on when you try to install an app.

You can install an app just fine, but from what I have been reading the problem is the play store and google services framework do not have root access. You can only install them on the data partition and not the system partition. We need to be able to root the Nabi to be able to get the Play Store to work. I am assuming no parent is willing to accidentally brick their child's tablet trying to do this. Does anyone even know what drivers we would use for ADB?

Been awhile since I messed with mine(Well hers), but I think the drivers I installed for rooting my Nexus7 also saw the Nabi2 as an ADB device. Also had a few ideas but my 2-1/2 year old would FREAK if I bricked her Nabi2. I still have a Nabi1(Already rooted) being I got the VIP Gold and was sent an email that I can keep my Nabi1 even with them sending me the Nabi2, too bad Nabi1 is not closer and I would have something to "TEST" with.
So I found a driver that I could use to for ADB and I used the universal root from Bin4ry but it was a no go. Has anyone else tried anything different to try to root their Nabi 2? Would be nice to know what has not worked so far.
Something a little off subject does anyone know how to change the default keyboard. Going in and out of Daddy mode switches the keyboard back to the Android keyboard after switching it to Swiftkey.

Been trying the script all afternoon with a brand new Nabi 2.
Script runs, but no SU/root access.
I've done it after wipes
I've done it after entering Mom mode
I'm running the latest Nabi Update.
I also noticed after running the script that several of the apps are wiped:
Skype, Their browser, iheartradio all disappear. They're reinstalled after a complete reset.

Since I read some good reviews about 'myscript stylus' I would like to try it out.
The only way I found to do that is to buy it at the 'lenovo app shop'. But I don't seem to be able to buy something from that store. It keeps on refusing with a vague message about my credit card(s). Free apps seems to be OK.
I noticed that the shop is run by 'mobihand'. I think 'mobihand' recently stopped its business. That might have something to do with it.
I'm I correct that there is currently no way for me to install 'myscript stylus' on my tablet?
I hope somebody can show me some way :crying:

Lenovo app shop is shut down. Can't even get it from there now. Doesn't work with jellybean either...
I have a emetic twig 3 that has the same app store as you said above, my stock app store couldn't even download free apps. So I was forced to type "alternative android apps markets" in the Google search. Up popped a lists of choices in the first couple of forums. I use slideme app market, an also amazon app market. But I have tried a few more markets as well. U may find the app your looking for, or at least this may help you with the search.

Just downloaded it from the Gear app store, and seems to be working nicely from a quick glance. Didn't book a car yet, but it connected to my account, found my location etc. Also seemed to be working on 3g with the watch remotely connected to the phone (not via BT), which means it should work even if the phone isn't on you (though I'd totally test this for real before counting on it )
Annoying that you need a companion phone app even if you have the normal app installed on your phone, bit seems to work well.

Agree, though at least it seems to also work when connected remotely to the phone, so hopefully this means you don't need to have the phone with you for it to work.

I also can't find it in the store. Probably not available in every country...
I'm in the US though. My guess is the same Samsung-phones-only restriction that applies to paid apps also applies to free apps that support some kind of in-app billing - which Uber would have to, if it plugs into a separate app instead of the regular Play Store one.
I really hope Samsung fixes this soon.

Hi everyone! Can anyone get the installation file from the Samsung App store and upload it here? it's possible?
Even with paid apps now showing up, presumably meaning everyone should have access to all the same apps, I still can't see the Uber app in the store!
Maybe the S2 sport and classic have different hardware numbers or something, and Uber did something dumb and only enabled the app for one of them? I'm on classic; any other classic users want to chime in with whether or not you can access the Uber app?
I'm on sport version and I still can't find this app in the store. News about Uber is fake? I didn't find any information about it but this forum

I tried contacting Uber support about this and they replied with instructions to download the phone app. Replied letting them know it's customary to read support tickets before answering them. Will update if I get anything useful from them.
Just switched phone from Samsung Galaxy Alpha to Blackberry Priv. Uber S2 app was available on the Alpha but can't find it on the Priv. Pretty annoying. Anyone else notice the same?
I can not find the app in Gear Store - Have a Gear S2 sport version - bought in Norway.
Uber responded this on twitter to me:
"@SimenPR Please note that the Uber app is only available for the S2 model."
Very little helpful in other words.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge..
nothing here - Gear S2 Classic + BlackBerry Priv

Does anyone know how to get the installer and install it manually?
I'd like to try out another market and I thought since this is it on kindle products, I'd give it a shot.
I've got unknown sources allowed, downloaded it from amazon itself... I follow the steps until wanting you to sign in... I can't do that cuz it won't install or even attempt. I can click cancel, or scroll up and down what it needs access to, but that's it?
What else can I try?
Tried mobogenie, but it wouldn't work properly.

I have an update to my situation.. I tried installing the store again today just randomly... It worked!
But now I wonder if I can somehow sync my play store purchases to amazon?
Or do I have to keep the play store hanging around to update my already installed apps?
I'm not even sure yet if it has the same selection... I just know that it doesn't need play services and that should make my battery happier.
I'll keep those around but disabled, in case the odd time I might use something else that needs it. But for the most part I really don't use gapps all that much :/
