Gameloft giving away Free EVO Games

http://www.gameloft.com/android/htc-evo-games/#
Gameloft is avertising "HD" Gaming for the EVO, with an offer to get 'Let's Golf HD' for free. I have been trying for days and have yet to see the page do anything other than look pretty.
Any one have any luck actually getting anything ?

That's weird that you didn't get anything. It sent me the text to download within 2 minutes, and now I'm downloading the game itself.

Just tried. I was able to get the free game.

this has been going on for weeks, i hope the change the free game to N.O.V.A

This is awesome, I did not know they were giving away free games. I just wish it didn't take so long to download data once you start the game. It's been downloading for like 10 minutes :/

got mine with in 340 sec of entering my number

got my copy.
also bought asphalt after "testing it" for a while.
does anyone know if we get free upgrades/updates??
if so, how? or do their apps auto update themselves?

Ugh why can't they make it a cool game.. golf is boring in real life and video games.

I browsed to that site on my phone last week, downloaded and installed the bookmark app, then downloaded and installed Lets Golf! right after. Then uninstalled the bookmark app .

I just got the text to get my free copy, but I get this message when I open the link:
"Sorry, but there are no games available for your mobile. If you are using a web browser, please try to connect with your WAP browser."
Can someone just upload the .apk since it is free?

It said that for me at first, but that was because I was using dolphin browser hd and my user agent was on Iphone. Make sure your user agent in settings is Android.

Ah, changing my user agent fixed the problem. This is such a massive rip-off of Hot Shots Golf, by the way.

157 MB is a lot.. crazy stuff.. but i got my SMS instantly

Never got an sms. Ive done it 3 times

Huh...I got my about a week ago from another post here. I just went to the page with my phone and downloaded some installer...then the golf game. Deleted the installer right after.
The game isn't all that bad...it's not great, but I have never attempted to play a game on phone before.
The graphics are mostly ok, the fly overs are actually pretty good. The issue is when you notice the trees with blue outlines. I mean SERIOUSLY!! Who let that person have a graphics job. They just used same trees over and when background is a mountain or other trees...then they all have blue edge where they artist just selected the tree and cut it. BLECH.
The controls are a bit touchy...well way too touchy actually. When you attempt to change the target where the ball will land...the grid shifts around all crazy. Very hard just to shave a dozen feet off the distance but still be aimed at the hole.
The hit controls are weird. The easy version seems to slide up and down at random speeds...the advanced version...well I have yet to figure it out...what is a shank and what is a good hit? No idea.
Anyway...overall it has wasted a good few hours total...but super glad I didn't pay for it.
When will Dungeon Hunter be free!!!!!

Sms?.....just install the bookmark app then it instantly let me do the game app. No waiting for a sms....after starting the game 1st time had to do the 157mb file which took about 45 seconds over my WiFi connection and played the game....super easy(not the game)...now I just gotta wait for group or root it so I can save to SD card.......

I actually bought it some time ago, but the one on the website said "HD" in big letters, so I was wondering if there was a difference, like higher resolutions. I emailed them and they said no, it's same bloody game. So the marketing dept. is lying as per usual.

DOes anyone have any idea how to play via WIFI? I have tried everything and nothing works.
Can anyone confirm lets golf is working for 1v1 via WIFI?

Anybody else have markey refresh fever?

I checked the market a few times yesterday (Designed for tablets section). Then I checked it at night. Same stuff. An hour later, 4 new apps popped up. Now I can't help but check really often.. probably like 10 times today already. I just can't wait to see what new and interesting good looking app pops up.

Same here and put the market widget on my home screen

Lol I'm so excited I couldn't even spell market right in the thread title..

Yeah, have to admit I've done the same. I'm just waiting for those flood gates to open up.

Slightly off topic but on the new market does anyone see where you can rate and reviews your apps? I'm not seeing the ability anywhere. But yes i am equally addicted to refreshing my market for new tablet apps lol..

There would have been a bunch more tablet apps, but Google released the Honeycomb SDK.. what yesterday or today?
Some devs got it early, like CNN, AngryBirds, etc... but the mainstream devs weren't so lucky.
So, we got ourselves a bit of lag effect going on.
Just need to have them dig though the new SDK and kick out some useful apps.
Please no Sexy Asian picture apps in Tablet form... at least not yet!

N64 Emulator removed

The Nintendo 64 Emulator N64oid was taken from the market.
https://market.android.com/search?q=n64oid&c=apps
This is very bad news for people who were waiting to get a new phone to play the graphically intensive n64 games.
Hopefully it will come back, but it looks like it may be gone for good.

Link dead. But yea what the heck are they doing?

wow. They charge you for the app then you flash a rom try to recover it and its gone anybody know why it's gone?

Some guy on a forum said google is doing a crackdown on emulation.

Don't worry, it wouldn't be because the dev is poor. He's coded all the other great emulators. Apparently it was Google laying the smack down.
People are sharing the .apk, but I'm sure if you email the dev he'll share it with you directly as you've legitimately paid for it as well. I did so too but thankfully have it backed up for when I get my Atrix.

do you think they will start removing the other emulators? I've been putting off buying one and if they are being taken down I mind as well buy now while I can.

I emailed Yongzh and got this as a reply:
"Yong Zhang to me
show details 1:00 PM (2 hours ago)
A great number of users are complaining about the compatibility and running performance. I am doing a rewrite of some of the core modules. Don't worry, N64oid will be back much better in 1-2 months.
Thanks for the understanding! I won't let people down."

Spiderman Mayhem Fix/Work around

Does anyone else have the problem of Spiderman Mayhem freezing everytime you try to start the Mystery Infection Invades City level?
*Play your copy of Spiderman up until the part where it starts freezing.
*Backup your sd card copy if you want to save it for when or if Gameloft ever fixes Spiderman.
*Unzip download below and replace your Spiderman file inside the Gameloft folder on your SD card with new file.
*Say yes when it asks to replace.
*Turn on your WI-FI and connect to a WI-FI network.
*Launch your Spiderman Mayhem Game.
*When it says it needs to download more data, say YES.
*When its done, play the game.
This allows you to bypasses the Mystery Infection level and starts you on the next level.
You will not be able to play Mystery Infection (Octorama) level on the tab EVER!! Or at least until Gameloft fixes the game. There is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. Unfortunately, you will not be able to fight Doc Oc, either. Drag I know.
AGAIN, there is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. During no point, on any save location along this level, have I been able to load it on my tab.
So I passed it for you, and now you can "finish" this awsome game.
Also, another unfortunate.... this is MY game save progress. MY upgrades, and all that.
Bummer.
Well now you can continue to play this awsome game and also play with the black suit! Its great, but you still have to earn it.
Also, when you beat the game and get the suit and start the game again, DO NOT PLAY THE MYSTERY INFECTION LEVEL, Also known as OCTO-RAMA!!!, it will freeze up again like your game is now, just pick the next level.
I know this isn't the best workaround, but at least its something......
Download this here: http://www.4shared.com/file/3tMMpjQl/Spiderman.html
ENJOY!!!
Please let my know if there are any issues, or if someone can help isolate the files needed to bypass but so players can keep their stats.
*This does not include the game, buy your own.....
If I helped, hit the thanks button!!

Are you using the galaxy tab version?

spiderman mayhem
Yes i am using the game for the tab that was actually purchased through gameloft on my tab. It is 130 here. I am gonna sleep and post the fix/workaroind tom. Play the game up till the freeze on mystery infection level. This fix will alow you to skip that part and continue on with the game. I am playing right now with the venom suit its awsome. Just needed to know that there is alittle interest before I go through the work of posting it. Your power ups might change, and be replased by mine, but mine are almost maxed out.
UPDATE: So I played back around back up to the Mystery Infection level in the venom suit. It froze again. The level is called something like Octorama or something. Just dont select this once i post the work around, until we can figure out why this happens on this level.
Galaxy Tab GTP-1000 2.2.1

I would like to see this fix

Its not a fix, but a way to get to the next point and finish the game. Lets face it, this game is awesome and needs to be played, and Gameloft is not doing anything to fix it. They still sell the broken game though.

Whatever it is, enlighten us
Sent from my HTC Legend. Now that's dedication.

Sorry about the wait guys, I returned from work today and my comp and tab are refusing to communicate. Since I have to transfer large files from my internal SD to comp and back a few times to create the workaround, I need to fix this first.

I also had the same problem, really frustrating. I contacted their support and this is the response I got.
Hi
I have a samsung galaxy tab and trying to play spiderman hd. When I try to play level 6 the game crashes. I can manually select level 1-5 and it plays fine but level 6 always causes force close.

See the problem is that gameloft is actively selling a game they know doesnt work.

Typical Gameloft. They sold games for the Desire eventhough they knew it wasn't capable of true multi touch. I emailed them and they stated they were aware of this issue before they even ported the game to the device. But they claimed it was so Desire users 'could enjoy the game's
How can you enjoy a game if you can't play it? They are ridiculous.

Typical money hungry snotts. Why release it for the tab if it was ment for the deire? Douchebags

Thank you very much. It works now.
Once I replaced my files with yours and did the wi-fi update, I started the game and continue my game and it start me out at the level where there are green goblin men which I have not seen before.
My son got to the that "infected level" and it force close and had no idea why. He is only 4 and a half years old but he is pretty good at this Spiderman game. I just told him that he has reached the end of the game when it force closes.
Now he will be able to play the game again but I guess I have to tell him that I was wrong about him finishing the game.
Anyway, thanks for the fix.

Your welcome. I wish everyone could fight doc oc but atleast there is new life breathed into the game. Doc oc was the second to last level and you are now on the last level. Once you beat the game, go to choose level. Then choose the little t shirt on the uper left. There is your venom suit! Its like a new game with the black suit. Dont forget to skip the level where it froze when you come back around.

Is this thread still wanted? or can I take this off of my 4shared?

Woah.. Don't remove it yet! I thought my data got corrupted and I reinstalled the whole game, starting from scratch.
At least now I know it is a software issue!

Cool. No worries. Just checking. And also i know tbat threads get lost, and this brought it back up to the top.

10 £0.10p Apps/ 10 Days!

Bit of a newb post for me this one and I know you people probably expect better of me xD.. but what the hell..
FIRSTLY - Yes I know this thread is posted on other phones! However it's not on the Desire so some people may not know ^_^
If you haven't already noticed (it's hard not to!) the Android Market is celebrating it's 10 BILLION downloads, by offering us 10 popular apps each day, for just 10p/10cents (whatever your currency is)
There are 10 new apps each day, and if you have a problem with downloading them just check out this, and you can download them from your PC to your phone!

Might want to highlight the link a bit more
Too bad it's not possible to buy an app for future use.
I wanted to buy Asphalt 6, but I only have a Desire, so it's not possible

i think apps are linked to google account? and you can redownload when you change device if you use your same account..

I got swiftkeyx because I figured it would come in handy one day though I prefer to use swype myself. I actually kind of hoped I could use it on a tablet when I get one then I noticed there is a different tablet version

Spent already $ 0.40 LOL

Oh... i want to buy these apps but i've got no credit card here -_-

Dunno what happened or how this works exactly, but last night i had swiftkey and endomondo for $0.10, and now they are regular price. As I remember, they were not listed on the promotion link in the market on my device, nor on the android market website. Now it's the same thing with awd launcher ex, it's not listed but it's $0.10. Anyone has a clue how this work? Do we know the exact list of apps that are available for $0.10?

they only do 10 apps per day, then the previous day's apps go back to regular price I think..
links on market don't update that quick either. better check the website if u want up to date info

Indeed they only stay 10 cents for 24 hours then it goes to 10 new apps.
My guess is google wears the cost and still pays the dev the normal money they would get

It's 10 different apps every day, so the apps that cost 10p today will go back to normal price tomorrow, and so on and so forth. The website link I sent lists all of the available apps for that day, and I'm pretty sure the new market also has a category from the "main menu" type thing where it displays all the 10p apps.

Yay. Big link for me
I already bought 10 apps.
The reason I was moping was that I can't buy asphalt, because the desire I have isn't supported, so I can't even buy it.
So its not possible to buy for a future tablet, if your current device doesn't support it in the first place.

Hi if you have access to another android device bit more powerful than desire then u can add ur google account on that if its got gb running and download it to that device. For example i also wanted asphalt 6 for my next device so i added my google account to sisters nexus s and bought it on there.
