Some games aren't working offline. - Acer Iconia A500

I feel like there should be a simple solution to this but I don't know. I found today, in the car, then when I tried to play Angry Birds Seasons and Illusia that I was getting a network error. I've got Illusia on my phone and it works fine when I don't even have 3G signal. I searched and didn't find an answer to this.

Did you get these apps from amazon app market? I had that problem with one app because it was from amazon (sorry for my english)

LOL.. Perfect English.. BTW
Try to avoid the Amazon App store. The Amazon DRM checks every time you start the app to make sure you are allowed to use it. No network = no application.
Not ALL apps from Amazon, but ANY app from amazon.... I guess it's up to the developer to choose to include the Amazon DRM... But there is no way to know if an app has this until you paid for / downloaded it and find out it does not work.
I dont care if it's cheaper.. Amazon is not an option for me.

I got them from the Android Market.

daily free app so should last one day or so..
you need to buy it on your PC or phone first before it can be downloaded to the TF.. purchase on the TF gives a 'device not supported' error.
The game itself is playable..much like the amazon version of PVZ..but the graphics are not optimized for the tablet..

I download and use the free apps from the Amazon app store on my TF all the time. I only have the Appstore installed on the TF, not my desktop. Not sure why you are getting the error about not being supported.
Edit: Ah, UK, maybe that's it.

This is an issue with Peggle, not amazon apps.
Clicking Get App from the Appstore application on the TF gives a device not supported error.
I got the same thing, from the US.
Instead, I went to the amazon website, clicked buy (for $0.00) and then went into the TF and went to My Apps and clicked install.

I have been doing the this exact thing...Thanks for putting words to action...it WORKS...Thanks
This was already posted by me and belongs in the Apps forum
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Seems that Amazon have got this marked as incompaible with the Transformer, Xoom & A500 but compatible with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Wonder how much Samsung paid for that
Anyone know how to install apps outside the US? I live in the UK and tried to install a free app and it said not available to my country.

I'm from the UK and I followed this guide
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/
(I use the same US Amazon account to access the Amazon Cloud Music service, if you need to know how to get the Android App to allow you access to that let me know and I'll send you those details)
installed it in my xformer just fine. and its not for tablets really, the resolution for this game is def for phones, however it does fill the screen
I downloaded Peggle from the amazon app store and installed it on my rooted Milestone. Much like plants vs zombies it loads up and crashes after loading the logo and hourglass. Using the same apk I've got it working on a galaxy Vibrant and captivate. Could it be because my phone is rooted or is the milestone just not powerful enough to run it?

I really can't grasp the new market

I might make myself look really stupid here but I struggle to use the new market
Al i can seem to get to is either
Top paid apps
Top free apps
Trending apps
Editors choice
Where's the tab to just take to the newest apps?! I don't want to see the same apps all the time!
On my Dell Streak i can just hit the newest apps tab and i get the latest additions to the market......
tablet market sucks
Use the Google market from web page its alot better.you might also like amazon android app store. Its at amazon.com
Hope this helps
use the web interface
Enough said.

You can get around that quite easy and get the free app of the day atleast! Glad I didnt miss out on all the popcap daily freebies!
well I've been trying to use the android web market page but it seems whatever I select (and pay for!) They state they will be downloaded to my tablet shortly.......
They never arrive, I then look in the normal market to get my purchase and the don't appear. I've had about 5 apps like that.

No market access

is it true this can't access the general android market?
i trust xda will be able to add the normal market to it

The Amazon Appstore developers pay no fee for the first year, and have no restrictions regarding their locations (as the Android Market imposes). So, I can easily imagine that many people will want to have their apps listed there. I guess you can check today, how many apps are there that you can find on the Android Market but are not on the Amazon Appstore. Actually, I know of several examples of the opposite.
I know quite a few apps I use regularly that are not available in Amazon Appstore, Dolphin HD comes to mind immediately.

Yeah, that's the downside to having such a customized version of the OS - it's not receiving official Google certification.
The Amazon app store is growing, and if the Kindle Fire sells well enough, which it should, more developers will be inclined to submit their apps.
I just hope amazon improves the app store experience, it's still miles behind Googe's, which isn't so great itself.
I recall reading something a while back that if one uninstalls the Amazon Apps Store from your device, the apps you downloaded from Amazon Apps Store cease to function until you reinstall the Amazon App Store applet.
Urban legend? Sounds a bit hinky but disturbing if true.
I use the amazon app store on my HTC desire.
I'll uninstall and let you know tomorrow what happens with all the apps from Amazon APp Store.
But regardless, I would still keep the Amazon App Store because it gives you one free app every day.

Completely true. I discovered it by accident when I deleted the App Store app, then tried to play my 'free app of the day' copy of Angry Birds Rio a few days later. No dice! Worked fine again once I reinstalled Amazon App Store, however.
Can also confirm: any amazon app store apps must have the amazon app store present on the device to work. Kind of a pain in the butt to be honest but hey, it's their store they can impose those restrictions.
When submitting app to Amazon Appstore you can choose to use DRM they provide - that might be the reason for this requirement. Apps that don't use DRM will probably work without the Amazon Appstore on device. (but I might be wrong)

After Dexter Mod, Google Play doesn't allow purchase

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks
Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7
Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.
Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)
Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?
Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.

Hi, removing other amazon apps helped, i finally got underground store working.
Before I had Prime Video Launcher with Amazon VOD running. If I now try to install the Prime Video Launcher including Amazon VOD, I get an error for Amazon VOD.
Is it not possible to run both?
Thanks

Some games are free and cost you money on Google.
E.g. Beach Buggy Blitz. Free on both but the Amazon version is fully loaded with split screen 2-4 players and all levels.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic $9.99 on Goolge Play. $0 on AU.
Riptide GP2. Google $2.99. Amazon $0.
Don't get me wrong I love Google and dislike the Amazon Ecosystem but...

It is, you can have a look here.
Otherwise, on my side using the StockRestyle ROM, I managed to have both using the version 2.0.45.1210 of Instant Video. Important: I installed both of them first, and only then launched them one after the other.
The links were removed?
Why does amazon get to remove links from this forum? Can you link to a forum that doesn't have such stupid restrictions? All it was trying to do was help amazons services run better on this device. I guess that it would be in there interest for it not to work because then maybe you would buy one of their tablets instead... but to let them remove links? Seems really bad.
