Grand theft auto 3

I just bought gta3 today on the market (4.99) but all it does is go through the opening credits then takes me back to my phones homescreen. Wondering if anyone else with a vibrant has tried the game and can tell me your experience? Running cm7 with glitch kernel

Ok so I was messing with chainfire 3d and when I use qualcomm plugin and try the app nothing happened then I tried powervr still nothing then I put it on nvidia and I get the opening credits to play with music and pictures just like it would regularly do but when that is over the game freezes and just takes me back to the home screen

i tried it out and i have the same issue where it just gets to opening credits and then screen turns black doesn't load anything.

as i read in the specifications/ requirements its need at least Galaxy S II !

Ya I just figured that since the app appeared in the market it was compatible like how Gameloft games wont show up for us. Now it wont show in the market not even in my paid apps

Since it's new, it's only working on phones/tablets with dualcore processors right now

newb post for dev cred
nothing to see here

Guys new 1.1 release for powervr sgx540 is available!

It's still not compatible with the Vibrant. I haven't messed with chainfire3d yet but I wish they'd get this game going on the Vibrant

Well, people are playin it on Huawei X5 and SE Neo for example, so i guess it should work to us.
I'm just having a problem, since i can't download the game content :S
Already downloaded 21%, but when i try to resume it it always says to me that there is no active internet connection before reaching 30%.
Any ideas? :\ Can it be because of the modem or something?
Currently running Private Stock ROM 2.2.1 with stock kernel/modem.
Help? :S

Mine downloaded right up but even though I bought it I can no longer see it in the market

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling. That seemed to work for me.

But I can no longer see it in the market even though I have it downloaded so I don't know how to update it

Post in the Market app reviews section guys. Get Rockstar to support it. I've posted and left feedback.

International GS III (GT-I9300) not so powerfull we could think?[disappointed on RAM]

So guys after a lot of days testing and after i have installed some Apps and using heavy multitasking i must say this GS III has limits on heavy usage.
The reason is the limit of RAM.. yes 1 GB still is not good as we could think..if you are going to install big apps and big games.
I have found this using the web browser with some flashplayer videos without using full screen just the window.. after few minutes the video has stopped playing just listen to the audio..and the gsIII start becoming hot ..sometimes it even crashed and came back to homescreen realoading widget and so on...and i'm not using TouchWiz Natur UX (heavy launcher on usage of RAM) but the lighter and faster Nova Launcher.. i will post some screens and info to warn of this problem i found on GS III
Those are apps installed

Wait, you mentioned installed big games or apps posing a problem for 1gig o ram but then you switch topics to flash videos in the browser? Are these heavy apps running in the background as well at the same time?

Same experience here. Flash vids freezing, black screen, briwsing quiting to home screen, music player quiting in background, longerwebpages not loading fully and the dreaded homescreen restarts. The experience comes up short compared to last years sgs2 and note on gingerbread.

It sounds more like Flash player is the problem or possibly the browser. Try another browser.

Well that doesn't sound promising. Seems like the phone works wonderful at first, but degrades quickly

I've seen others post they're getting out of memory probs. Good thing our us ver will have 2 gigs sounds like it will be needed.

You guys just figure this out now? No offence intended but only 1GB of ram was obvious to me that this issue was going to occur. Of the 1GB 1/3 is taken for the system and an almost another 1/3 by the video card your then left with barley over a 3rd for yourself. Come June 20th ill be very happy to get the 2GB NA model. Like I said no offence but I saw this coming.

Mate, no offence, i'm not expert with android or any other developer stuffs but i will certainly disagree about pointing out the RAM to be the problem.
I have both SGS2 and SGS3 and as of the moment i can confidently say that when it comes to multi-tasking, my SGS2 performs better than the latter. How did i come up to it?
-->In my SGS2, I can simultaneously run my GPS on, run Sygic Navigation, play music using Poweamp, while watching Avatar HD(2GB) using the Stick it Pop up video player by MBFG, and then leave all running in background and even watch video using the Floating browser without having any problem, not to mention the live wallpaper i'm using and all the widgets running as well. And take note, both SGS2 and SGS3 have the same amount of RAM.
Right now, I'm also quite disappointed with my S3 as it locks up every now and then with just a simple usage.
My theory or say, just a guess is that, it is related with the Kernel or worst, the ROM itself. Let's just wait for the hard-working devs here to find a workaround for this matter.

I think most android devices now a days have the first adopters as true beta testers. Even the mighty iphone had its share of problems.
I'm sure an update will be on the horizon.

Your only making a fuss about it because the variant had 2gigs of ram. ICS handles all your process and kills task automatically.

Right, but how much does your gnex stock google OS use vs the GS3? You probably have a ton more free ram out of the box than the GS3 does...i guess we know why they put 2 gigs into the new (north america/japan) ones...
Also, does using a different launcher get rid of all that memory? I would think twiz is still running somewhere, just not the launcher itself, so it's still eating up ram... so once you flash a CM/AOKP, they should have this figured out...
I personally don't play much beyond angry birds / words w friends and that type of stuff, so I don't see this being an issue for me, esp with 2 gigs, but I feel your frustration, that would piss me off, spending that kinda money and having those issues.

Well US version was not even an option for many of us in USA. I wanted unlimited data and that's possible on international version only. And I have no issues with ram. Everything works perfectly smoothly for me.

The gnex is using a different soc so it's not going to be the same as the SGS3.
Honestly, we are early adopters and I'm sure Samsung is having most of us be to real beta testers so they can report bugs and fix them.

Right, I'm sure it'll get worked out, might take a bit of time, but should be worth it in the end

Deleted oops wrong thread.

The only reason Samsung added 2gigs of ram was to separate the competition also using the same dual-cores(one-x) . This also is used for marketing and final purchasing decisions for noobs.

Plants vs zombies on Nexus 7 problem

Hey there
Is anyone else having a problem with this game? every 10-12 second the screen turn black for a second.
I don't know if it's my rom, my kernel or just the game... Running on PA with trinity.
I tried to Google that problem, but I have found nothing. Nothing in the comments on playstore.

I have the same problem, but it can be fixed by disabling hw overlays in the developer settings.

I dont think this will fix it, i tried but i got a infinite force close of my launcher.

I have a Google Nexus 7 with android 5.1 and Plants vs Zombies. It was running fine and then stopped working. It just doesn't launch. The hour glass comes up, disappears, comes up again and then crashes. I have cleared cache and data, uninstalled any programs I may have installed after but nothing works. All updates are Googles OTA updates, no custome ROMS. Any suggestions?

No problem
I have a nexus 7 and I have'nt problem to play to this game.

STOCK Music App issue

I dont know if this has already been posted (im sure it has and mods can delete this if need be) but, the stock music app is a battery and RAM drainer and leaker, so much to the point where it cripples the phone into an unusable state. In order to fix this problem, i would recommend switching to Play Music, as it still has SD Card rights and doesnt generate this horrible problem. (This is what i am now doing) just wanted to inform anyone who didnt know/had the same problem i did!

Yeah, i was using the app for the first time yesterday during class, and it kept cutting out for no reason. I figured out the solution on the ride home. Play music seems to be working fine though! I dont know if Samsung can update it via samsung apps or play store or if it needs to be via OTA update, but they need to fix it.

Has anyone fixed gaming on this phone

Okay so I'm reopening this discussion about gaming. I have now tried the Moto Z Force and am going to buy a Note 7, but gaming on my Z Force (Same Hardware) games seem to run at higher FPS and smoother. On the S7 Edge it never ran that smooth. I have tested the Note 7 with a game I play and still, as it is a little better, does not feel as smooth as the Moto Z. Has anyone figured out a way to fix this on Samsung devices or am I SOL? Any mature, accurate, and useful responses are always appreciated. Thank in advance!

Are you rooted? If so thats your problem.
If your not, then have you debloated all of Samsungs garbage with package disabler? If not, thats your other problem.
