I thought It was time I spent some time enjoying android instead of just tweaking constantly. So I installed some games; one of them being iMobster.
I open the game app and it says I need to sign in with my Storm8 Account, (which I dont have yet)... there is no option on the app's signing page to register a new account.
So I googled storm8 and went to their site.... again there is no signup link. So I go to the storm8 forums and see a register link ("Don't have a Storm8 Account yet?").... but that just says that you register through the games settings menu....I CANT GET TO THE SETTINGS MENU WITHOUT SIGNING IN! Doh!!
Is it just Android versions of Storm8 Games that dont allow new users? Or are signups closed full stop? Or is This some form of 'attempted copy protection' caused by the HD2 not being a 'native' Android device?
I searched the storm8 forums for an hour and found nothing useful and I cant ask a question there as I dont have an account lol
Can anyone shed any light on this?
If there is NO WAY to sign up for us HD2 Android owners, does anyone have an old unused account that they want to donate? (Not looking to take a 'good' account here, would rather sign up myself if at all possible).
Anyone managed to signup using their HD2?
(PS I have installed 2 other storm8 games and they behave the same way...no signup )
I have no idea.
As this is not at all specific to the hd2 port of Linux (and android) I suggest moving this thread to the general XDA android section.
cheers

yeah, your right. sorry, my mistake.
mods...could you please move the thread to the appropriate forum? thanks...and sorry
I had the same dilemma, I have tried many builds and it seems to only occur with FROYO builds, if you go back to Eclair you will be able to play your game, so I just use 2 sd cards one with Eclair and the other with Froyo.
Storm8 games are currently not compatible with froyo... many people on froyo are complaining about the interface glitches due to upgrading to froyo

ahhh that might be it then....maybe storm it disabled the signup option when one of their apps detects froyo?
thanks for the info
Is the solution still to use Eclair or did they update the game to work with Froyo?
Glad its just not me. Might just have my moms download it on her iPhone and then give me her username and password. I really want to play Zombies and Vampires Live.
you could try android 2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734350 to sign up and return to 2.2 to play
i am trying it now and reporting back
EDIT: on android 2.2 all worked fine. i created an acount and went back to 2.2 to see that all storm8 games don;t recognize the login, they say the username and pass are incorect so maybe we just have to wait for and update,
hey, it could be worst http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-games/49726-storm8-games-reset-froyo-install.html
Unique Device ID is needed *#*#4636#*#* should show it
if not get Android ID from market
If you downgrade you should be able to create an online account thru the game then transfer this to the upgraded phone via the username / password login method ( can only be done once storm8 account is made from device ID )
or downgrade and create and acount and just use s8onpc ... ( yet to see if you can just create an new account knowing an ID number as all my phones are used atm ...)
Can you please eleborate how to use Android id to login??
vamp live on hd2
hi,
I ve installed it on hd2 with MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4..... running on it and it worked fine. I ve played 2 days now and after the second day my account got banned unknown reason... and by the way I read this application is able to read your sms and phone number out of your phone, not cool if its true.
Each time i closed the application the profile was gone, so i decided to import it back using the settings menu , which worked well. .. until I got banned
I play all 8 storm8 games on my myTouch 3G with Froyo 2.2
On any game that you play, go to the main game page, you'll see a "gear" or "gog" icon near the bottom, select that icon. This brings you to another screen with 3 tabs, choose the tab labeled "Storm8". On this screen, mine account is already setup so it shows my information but if you haven't setup an account yet it will let you create one here or give you a web link to the Storm8 page.
Enjoy!

So this will be my first Android mobile, I want to believe this phone was the best choice for this platform.
Moving from Windows Mobile (HTC HD2), so this is a new chapter in my mobile phones experience live
Not at all a noob, just want to receive some advices, where to start, if is a must to update the stock firmware, if XDA is the best community for Android (as is for WM), to meet the GS community
HD2 was my ex-phone 2
well dont rush to flash anything the moment u get ur phone do some reading here
try rooting it unlocking the market find a way to keep your contacts sync with gmail all the time if u gone play around with firmwares alot
then try the samset rom u will like it (its fixed now i think) prepare to brick the phone alot but dont warry u cant actualy brake it and if u realy like to do more try the lagfix on the stickies
u will be busy for a week or so
have fun with ur new mob
Thank you, I'm a little excited, 1 hour ETA for my new phone
On my HD2 I used a lot Microsoft Myphone who automatically sync my contacts, SMS, pictures with their web site.
I know that I can sync wit Gmail, but is there a solution for SMS ?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv.studer.smssync Sms sync
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app.calltrack phonelog sync
i dont know if they r bidirectional though but having the data at gmail works for me
oh and install appbrain too syncs your applications
Get latest firmware, root it, do the speed fix, edit gps.conf (use search of the forum for all I've said)
Before you do all the stuff install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
instead of doing all of the above, i suggest you to try the phone stock, out of the phone for a week or 2 at the very least, and then see really what you want to change from stock.
that's what i'm doing.
know your phone, before you start modding it.
i did the same for my old HTC Athena, and for my car as well
but in my car i kept it mostly stock until 10 yrs has passed, now i'm going nuts with the mods
Got the phone, amazing screen colors, already rooted and with latest firmware (Froyo), good speed, nice interfaces, many apps
Short question: I have the contact now synced with Gmail and also one of them with Facebook. I want in the contacts to see the Facebook picture not the one in in Gmail . How (I hope is possible) can I do this ?
Froyo?
too short...

Hi Guys
Long time reader of these forums and have used the guides provided here numerous times. This is my first time post and it's a bit of a noob question but after looking around the forums, I haven't been able to provide a concrete answer.
I remember reading about Facebook integration with Android 2.0+ but could someone clarify how vanilla android interacts with Facebook? I am a huge fan of HTC Sense being able to pull down my friends info into my contacts. Also is there a way by which I can back up all my apps and contacts so that when I've flashed a new ROM I can just restore the data?
Again I apologise for the basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find any solid answer through my searches and I'm itching to put 2.2 on my legend.
Much appreciated
Linking Facebook and Google-Contacts works in 2.* as far as the names are the same. Ihaven't found a function like in sense where you can directly point to a specific FB-contact and link it to a google or phone-contact as you want. Regarding your second question, your contacts will be saved @google if you use a googleaccount, for backing up your settings and programs go with TitaniumBackup but your handset has to be rooted for this.
Thanks ^_^ I realised what I'd asked about the contacts only after I'd posted it >.< but all the same thanks for the info
Just btw, which fb app are you using (this goes to everyone) ?
Not a single one I tried so far was good enough.
I have the official fb for android but it doesn't display message whole threads when they are too long and when i click on a notification, it opens up in the browser.
Then i tried fb browser, but that one can't open youtube vids. It tries to open them itself instead of opening them in the yt app, but I'm unable to click on the play button.
the rest is either a copy of these 2, or comletely useless.

I just stick with the default android one...the lesser of the evils out there. But I agree with you in that the apps aren't as good as they could be. Who knows, maybe Facebook will announce some android related news at their mobile event today
I'm using the official one. There is an update, just installed it today. There is now finaly places and when clicking in the notification, no more webbrowser with touch.facebook.com is opened.

And yeah signing in a problem too it says invalid something
It will go live very soon. Some can, some can't.
Beautiful though. Good sign of things to come.
Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.
This is nice!
good find had no trouble signing in.

Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.
Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?
The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

Hmm... I just got back to my pc and tried to install. I am on Flagship and it didnt give me a notification, and its not showing under My Apps.... maybe the developers need to modify the build.prop?

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.
First off I'd like to apologize if this question is int he wrong section I figured it was an Android general question and didn't know where else to post it.
So a few friends and I will be going to Canada for Spring Break, and one issue that we know might come up is if we all get lost we don't think our phones will work due to being out of the country. Does anybody know if there are any messaging apps or any app in general that will allow us to communicate easily and efficiently while there? Bonus if there is an app you guys know of that is on the iPhone market as well since at least two of my friends have one. Thanks in advance!
use heywire app which is a sms app which works over wi-fi or 3g, you can send text through out the world for free, ive been out of the state for a while, and it helps to stay in touch, you can download it from the market, when u install the app it will guide u through registration which includes only providing your email add and u r done, hope it helps.
can i have back friend stream in [17.Jul] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DHD_V19
how can install back?
thanks in advance
i think this is a desire hd rom which in that case you can go to personalize, widget, the top one should say "Browse all HTC widgets" scroll to 24/25 and select friend stream. im not on this rom but if its v19 then thats a desire hd rom so it should work.

friend stream widget appears but i cant config account
i cant sign in becouse there is no option in accounts and sync
i just have facebook,google,news,weather.
i missing friend stream for htc account.
i think you can sign into your htc account by going under setup or htc hub. if you want i can flash the rom real quick to see what your refering to? its rather hard to say what to do when im not seeing it infront of me.
maybe look in that thread to see if other people are having the same issue and if you dont find any info on it you could always ask your question within that thread.
are you refering to this ROM?
can you do that for me you're so kind
i have read threads
nobody wrote something like this
ok it will take me a few mins or so to do a backup & then flash. gives me an excuse to try a new ROM out anyway. i'll write back after i go through the ROM which should be about 10-15 mins or so.

ok just booted up. im going to set the phone up to see if i have the problems you were talking about. i'll report back..
ok..so i can't find it either. on my old ROM..RAFDROID HD when you set up your phone up it allowed you to set up your htc account and it didnt on this ROM. also i selected widgets then all browse all HTC widgets and there are a lot less widgets to choose from. in the ROM details for BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_Desire HD A2SD V19 it shows friend stream as an app in the ROM so i would post the question because they might haved removed it for some reason. i couldnt find any info about it either so im not sure what advice i can give.
i have the friend stream apk but im not sure it would work anyway and without being able to sign in its really pointless in trying that way. a friend stream widget did no show up for me anyway i tried about it.
im going to keep playing around with the rom to see if i can get it to work though. i'll pm you if i can find out the answer.

no problem. it got me to try a new ROM out anyway. maybe after some sleep i'll try to install the friendstream.apk to see if it works that way.
Did not read the whole thread...but it might be easy.
You may need to goto settings, accounts and sync, and then set up Facebook and Twitter for HTC...to sync.
thats what i thought at 1st but when you go into accounts & sync there was nothing there that you could set up, just blank. yea it was really odd though. i even went into personalize, widgets & then browse all htc widgets and there were a lot less on that ROM then on RAFDROID HD. i think this ROM had 35 or so were as RAFDROID HD has 70. i checked the thread late last night and it seems other people are having problems with it to on different builds so i dunno.
I guess I have to return to the previous version becouse i like facebook for htc sense widget
if you go to this thread and check out post 2351 someone uploaded htc-facebook. you woulod have to put it in system/apps & i cant say for sure if it would work or not.
new updated
boyppc has updated version 19 he added a some dhd stock widget and apps
i will try now
