Grand Theft Auto III (On Sale until 29th Dec) £1.99

Just downloaded this game and it is absolutely amazing!!!
Especially with the fact that it's on sale at £1.99... I think the normal price is closer to £5!!!
Definitely worth the buy!!!

Sweet I downloaded it illegally off the net, because couldn't buy it, but love the game so just bought it from the market no its available :-D

I have strange lag spikes (lags for few seconds) while playing and on cut scenes.
Not sure why though

Not sure either mate, it's running absolutely perfectly on my Note.
I'm at work at the moment and all of my colleagues are playing on it and saying how amazed they are with the graphics and the fact that it plays as good, if not better than on the old PS2!!!
I can't believe they have squeezed the whole game into such a small file! It's absolutely crazy! All of the missions and all of the fun! Loving it so much! I can't imagine playing it on a smaller screen than the Note though! Feeling sorry for my iphone colleagues!!!

Also works fine on my Note, brought it yesterday for £3.20, so not a major price drop. Bring back memory of play it on PS2 during my university days.

Small File?
Initial Download is about 30MB, and then it loads another 450MB or so . .
about 500MB all in all.
CD size.

Guys, how do you get to play it if market says it's incompatible with Note? I bought it using the web version of the market and selecting galaxy tab it had on my profile that i used to have but no longer do but how do i get it on the note?

Mine was on the US market on my Note, purchased and installed without issue. I have no idea why you can't.

If both your Tab and Note are rooted, you can do a Titanium backup of GTA on the Tab, copy over the backed up files to Note and do a
restore using Titanium again.
You just need to download the extra 450mb file the 1st time launching GTA on the Note.
P.S. your Note might be incompatible if you changed screen density from stock 320.

Apologies... I guess it's subjective... I have movie files that are bigger than that and I suppose with the internal 16gb (aware that some of that is taken up by the system) and my external 32gb micro SD card, it doesn't seem large at all for what you get! That game will provide me with hours of fun!

I got mine directly from the market... I have a Desire, Desire HD, and Galaxy Note. I was told that it is only compatible with the Galaxy Note. Not sure why you're having issues mate.

Same here. I have the Desire HD, Wildfire and Note, and it says that the Note is the only compatible one. So i just bought it and it works fine

You probably don't play video games that much. Recent downloads off of Steam include the Witcher 2 (12 - 15gb) and Homefront (11gb). 500mb is a bit more than a DVD rip. Quite small really

I had downloaded it from the market when I had my Galaxy s2. Now it says my Note is incompatible. Bummer!

No go for me either. The game wont show up on the market on my note and when I go to the market on my PC it says incompatible with N7000.

Ok, I've linked a screenshot of what I see when I log into my Android Market... GNote shows up as: "3 Samsung GT-N7000" I'm guessing the "3" part is related to the fact that I have a "3" sim card in my note, although I bought it carrier free from Expansys. It's a long shot, but could it have something to do with the name that it registers as? I wonder this because you said that yours just says "N7000"

I don't have sound

Works fine on my Note here although the day after I downloaded it, it had disappeared completely from my Marketplace. It is showing again now though.
I am running at screen density 240, plus I installed the high res/gfx file. All you need to do is go into settings and adjust the on screen controls because they shrink and end up in the middle of the screen. You can move them back to the corners and also double tap to enlarge them. Screen is still plenty big to enjoy the game, the controls do not get in the way, and the high res pack is a MUST for the Note!

best device for build.prop

Hi everyone , im now runing cm9 . and i changed the buld prop. Becauze i could play gameloft games. i changed to galaxy s3 , and lots of games working.
But what devices you think work best with android games. (im asking becauze still lots of games not working ) and is there some tablet version that would work with all of google play games ? bcz i just dont like it when i go to internet page and its loaded for mobile version.
Any ideas?
By the way plz write whole name of that product ( phone or tablet , would be better if it would be tablet)

Maybe the Galaxy Nexus would be a good choice since it has the same GPU?
Sorry for giving another phone, but I couldn't think of any tablets besides the Kindle Fire and Nook that have similar hardware.

Can you please tell me what settings in the build.prop to change to turn my Galaxy Player 5 (YP-G50) into a Galaxy II or III phone?
Thanks!

You can't turn it into a phone. Does it even have a sim slot? It doesn't have the needed hardware to be a phone.

Skype or maybe Google voice. It doesn't have a radio so you can only make calls via voip.

How about maybe the Nexus 7. The most hard core games work on that

[Q] kindle for samsung app on galaxy note 4

hi all
for some strange reason when i first got this device i was able to go to the samsung app store and
download the kindle for samsung app. It was nice, it had multi window function and I was quite happy about that.
as on my note 8 i had to hack the darn thing to work with multi-window (tutorials are lovely things aren't they )
I had to do a factory reset on the thing and ever since then i'm not able to find that app anymore.
I finally stumbled on a thread in xda where some one posted the kindle for samsung app in an other thread for the S6 i think it was. I managed to grab it from there but this one has no multi window function.
I've busted my brains for three days now, message samsung twice with absolutely zero luck. they seem to selectively become unable to comprehend anything I say beyond a point. Tried all kinds of vpn ip re-routing and still can't get onto the samsung app store to get this friggin app.
so if anyone in here has it would you please.. please please pleaaaaaseeeee im begging you be so kind as to give me a dropbox link or something so i can pick this thing up and finally use kindle with multiwindow? please?
I'm seriously drained now looking around and looking for a way around samsungs nonsense (don't even get me started on the google play store -not available in your country blah blah) uuuuuhhhh
help... i give up please help.

What you get in the Samsung store is dependent on device description in the build.prop. perhaps check if a flash of some Rom changed it.

Hmm I'm not sure what you mean. I'm new-ish to android. If you mean about rooting and changing from the official samsung rom to an other then no, I've never done that.
the phone is new. It was initially turned on and setup in the USA that may be why, I dunno. Samsung said that the kindle for samsung app is simply not part of the store which services my location. They zoned my country out (for an ebook reader? Maybe it's for the book deals but I don't care for that)
If you meant something else , what should I be looking for in this file and what should it be?
I guess it's time to find some tutorials again. (Heck of a lot of trouble for just one app though this is getting crazy for one apk)
I'm sure if I can just get the apk I'd be good.
Thanks though.

yeah, that was what i was refering to. if you flash a new rom it might be that the description of your phone changes.
the only thing i could think of would be that your sim card changed the region your phone is accounted to and so you can't download it anymore. a possible way would be to reset your phone and startup without sim, connect to wifi and install it from samsungs store and after that you can insert the sim card again and continue the setup. i understand that this is not a convenient way, so you'd better just search for the apk.
samsung is restricting access, because it comes bundles with one year service 1 free book per month.
i just tried it and could download and install it from the galaxy apps store.

Lol would you believe all while I was doing this there was no sim card in the phone?
I was getting a feel for the phone and transferring contacts playing with it all before I put the sulim on. In fact, I only put the sim card in five minutes ago for the first time.
it has to be the book deals. I don't care about that, I don't want any novels.
Could u extract the apk with "es file explorer" and post a Dropbox link?
That would be awesome , that's all I'd need I'm sure of it. That particular apk
is no where to be found anywhere online

Here is a tutorial on how to do it

Also just heard from someone who said that if I ever did flash my phone with an other rom that the app wouldn't work anymore (at least that was his experience). I'm not really into that anyways. About the only thing I'd be interested in would be getting this SM-N910H to unlock LTS like the N190C I'm guessing it's just software lock out. I saw something in an other forum thread on here with people experimenting with it. I've not finished reading to the end of that thread yet. It did seem that was really no difference in these phones though. I dunno. Guess I'd better back up right quickly then haha.

What is LTS?

Oh that's 4G I believe that's what it's called

Oh it is called lte around here. I do not understand that you need to unlock it. It should be activated by default.

oh snap you're right I must have gotten the acronym mixed up with linux lts (long term support) you're correct its LTE.. but on my model it doesn't have it included.
the SM-910C and a few others have it mine is the SM-910H that doesn't have it by default but seems it might be a software lock-out. I'd love to have it though.

i did not see mentions of software locked LTE here yet.
i found this thread which claims (at the start at least) that your phone is a 3G version of the note 4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/sm-n910h-3g-variant-t2925648
i did not read the whole thread, but if it really is not unlockable, perhaps you can exchange the phone with someone who does not need 4g and wants to have a little better battery life. in the end LTE modes were always known to drown your battery more quickly then 3g modems, i guess it is still like that.

Hey good looking out! Thanks.!!!
the truth is that I don't really need 4g at all.. I just like to have a complete device that's all. I don't use mobile data over here because it's terribly slow no matter what "g" they claim to have over here and I found it to expensive for what I get no to mention I'd likely only use it for text or whats app. I just stick with wifi. But I'll check out that article
and if it does indeed drain battery then there really isn't a compelling reason for getting it unless I was going to sell the phone to someone who would need data.
Hows that kindle app working out for you though?:laugh::good:

questions from a Note 7 refugee

I just exchanged my incendiary AT&T Note 7 for an S7 Edge, which is also a decent phone. I'm wondering if there's a way (without rooting) to reproduce any of the following software features that I got used to on the Note 7:
Secure Folder (instead of Private Mode)
New organization/presentation of the phone's Settings
Optimization page in Settings
Custom image for always-on display
Any advice appreciated.

As of right now none of those options are available. From what I've read all those options will be available on the Nougat update. Welcome to the edge bud.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

you can change the aod pic but root and xposed is required. the other options no unless there is an xposed module for them and i can not say if there is or not as im no longer rooted. welcome to the edge family btw and hope the phone treats you well, battery is awesome for me stock and all. (custom roms one day)

please when they will have the new software s7 galaxy sm-g935A

From what I have noticed they typically are releases between the 23rd and 28th of the month.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I also came from Note 7.
There is a new AOD version released today for S7 Edge and one of the changes includes the ability to set custom image.

Wish there was a way to do the sPen gif creation on the S7 Edge. Its one of the main feature I miss from the Note 7. Anyone know if there is a way to do this on the S7 Edge.

I've only had the S7 Edge for 2 days (although owned one when they first came out - it was the S7 Edge that pulled me away from the iPhone) and I am SO MISSING my Note 7. That was the best phone ever. That S-Pen GIF feature was great. I want so many of those S-Pen features which is why I went for another Note. Now we probably have to wait another year for a Note 8. I think Samsung might lose a lot of money by not getting new customers but I think the old Samsung customers (like us) will continue to purchase their products.

I am missing this feature a lot so today I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen. Has the same S Pen software on it as the N7. On sale right now too. $100.00 off so it's $249.99 US. + free shipping.

Hope this holds me over until the Note 8 comes out. Missing the N7 so much. Nothing compares for me.

Samsung font locking issue

I'm just curious as to whether anyone has found a work around for Samsung locking out fonts not available in their store, I brought an s7 mainly because of how highly customisable Samsung phones are or at least were, so I was very disappointed when I found out Samsung are limiting fonts to ones in their store. Any help or new information will be appreciated, thanks.
