DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE GALAXY NOTE.
bummer... i just got suckered out of 49 cents
There is a 15 minutes return period.

I think you have a short time frame to submit a request for a refund.
Speaking of not compatible... I noticed there's a lot of good games that aren't. Being new to Android for the most part - why is that? Seems like the phone has enough power to run them.

No. Most of the games that "aren't compatible" with the Note would run fine. My Xoom runs these games flawlessly and it has the same resolution on a larger screen and isn't as powerful. The Note is plenty powerful enough and virtually all of those "incompatible" games can be made to work with relatively simple root changes and sideloading. Search around a bit and you can find info on it. N.O.V.A. 2 running on the Note is nothing new....
Good luck.

I've heard that if youchange the build.prop with the international galaxy note like n7000 somehig like thy Cynthiaa think of the top of my head but I heard that would make it "compatible" LOL

I bought this as well. Contacted Gameloft support because the return function didn't refund the app. They gave me a link to download N.O.V.A 2 HD which FC's when you start a new game still trying to get my 49¢ back after a days worth of emails.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
I tried changing the build.prop to show as the international version. It worked and allowed me to download the additional game data. Strangely modern combat 3 worked perfect but games such as 9mm and asphalt 6 didnt work correctly. Asphalt had a strange camera angle where you are shifted to the right so itz unusable and 9mm has a pink color on the start screen. Probably due to the different hardware. I downloaded the adittional data for Modern COmbat 3 and changed the build prop back to the att galaxy note. Atleast i got one "incompatible" game to work
This happened to me as well, emailed google 3 times but no reply yet...
I can't even find the game in the market anymore, or in my apps.
please update once anybody gets a refund or get this game to work.
It should say incompatible before you actually pay.. I tried it with one of the other games and I clicked buy it started downloading and when it tried to install aborted and said incompatible, and I wasn't charged even though I authorized purchase...
Just side load. Did it with nova off my a500

Thanks for the heads up. I was kinda pissed that Deadspace wouldn't load and that did the trick. I actually tried that when I first opened it, but it seems to work better if you tap just below the loading bar.

Are you guys getting these through the market or do you have to go on their website?
They are purchased through the gameloft site, not the market
However, keep a copy of the downloaded files. I did a factory reset and the web site doesn't list them as part of my downloads. Best to buy games from the market, I guess. Gameloft wants a bit more info than my time is worth, or no doubt I could get it fixed.

Since they don't have an option for AT&T, what carrier do you select when you buy the game from the web site? Or does it matter? thanks

After messing with me phone a bit, the whole re download part of gameloft is screwy for my purchases, I don't know what firmware I bought what with, and the site detects your phone to determine what games you are allowed to get. Not sure if it's all Gameloft's fault since they had a 2 for 1 sale on 3 games that I used twice, so the site kept telling me to download a free game I already had installed, they them updated the website. Also Nova refuses to download content, support sent me a link for a new download, no diff. I lost let's golf 2 altogether, support ignores me on that one. Annoying, I would stay away from any games that are not from the market if you are into changing firmware/themes/wallpaper/display brightness, OK, maybe not the last 2. And backup whatever you get, however restoring the data doesn't guarantee that the game will use it. It's hit or miss with Gameloft. Makes me want to go to pirate bay to get copies of my purchased games. Not that I have been playing any of them lately, lol.
The NVIDIA pinball game is interesting, paper 3d glasses support.
Cheers!
Ok i am a little confused here. When i got to the site on my phone it says it isnt supported. When i go through the browser, there arent any ATT phones listed ( i assume its because they block sideloading). Can i just choose tmobile, download the apk, sideload it on my phone, and it work? Really wanting dungeon hunter 2. Has anyone had success w/ downloading from the above method?
hi im new here (been creeping as anonymous for a week now lol)
Might anyone have experience with gameloft apk files working on the atrix?
I use sideload wonder machine to install them to my phone
but they all require additional download when i open the app
that usually fails (dungeon hunter 2, eternal legacy, nova)
or it completes and then theres missing pictures all over, like white and the game crashes after a bit.
ive found some files that contains both the apk and a zip folder.
im assuming the zip is for the "additional download" but i have no idea how to install them.
solutions anyone?

lol, i used SWM too. works awesomely.
umm, also had the install freeze glitch. it only freezes when your phone goes into sleep mode or when you try to multitask while its installing.
solution is to go into settings, disable the screen timeout so the screen doesnt turn off (and so your phone doesnt autosleep) and just leave your phone plugged into the wall socket while downloading over wifi. worked for me.
currently trying gt racing. it looks good, but lots of jaggies. antialiasing would be nice, but given our atrix's higher resolution, i dont think it would have enough grunt to run AA (ignoring the fact that tegra 2 doesnt seem to do AA).
sadly, the only way i have found to get any games working is through mobilism (bad word?). i guess if they want my money, they'll open up to att now that the 3rd party sources is open. or is that when official 2.3.4 comes out? idk, it's whatever, the atrix has a very limited amount of gameloft choices anyways. they probably have versions for our phones, but the atrix is kinda unique in it's design. does anybody else know of a non-att, qvga, tegra device? when one does land or maybe when ginger lands officially we'll get versions for our phone made available.
Asphalt 6 runs very well. And dungeon hunter 2 works too. I've bought Nova too once but I gave up the idea of installing it because the gameloft's politic on purchases sucks.
And I much prefer my emulators! I have a bunch of em working smoothly you should try fpse, it's great!

Slashgear Review
I was reading through my usual Android news sites and came across this. Instantly I installed it on both my Prime and HTC One X.
I haven't checked it out beyond the very impressive intro yet but I got a slight surprise whilst installing it. My HTC One X was around 2.5x faster at unpacking the game than my Prime was. I set the Prime off unpacking first then the One X, I even had to restart the unpacking on the One X due to the screen turning off and still the One X finished first and I was able to watch the intro (very impressive on a 4.7" 720P screen) before the Prime finished.
I had the Prime set to Balanced Mode (1.2Ghz) but I feel it's more likely the memory Asus have used that meant the unpack was so slow and that if I had selected Performance (1.6Ghz o/c) the One X would still have been faster?
Anyway, off to check the game out for a bit. Looks good so far

I have that but still don't think it would work. It's gesture control - there aren't specific areas on the screen to press for most actions. To look at something/pick it up you have to touch the screen where it is. To activate the crossbow you have to press the screen to pull it back and hold it whilst you aim then let go to fire. You then use gestures with the knife/sword to slash like in Fruit Ninja etc. You also click specific areas on floors to move to them or on doors to open them.
If there is a way to map everything then brilliant as I would prefer to use my PS3 pad but I haven't a clue how to get it to work myself.

This took me like 3 attempts to start, but it runs. I played this game for quite a few hours yesterday, about level 7 or 8 in game, on the second floor (if my level is too high for the second floor it's cause I kept getting attacked looking for gems).
All in all I like the game, big changeup for android.
I love the silent hill series, and I can see how some people can relate the two in terms of the plot and the monsters, but it's nothing like silent hills gameplay in my opinion.
It's more of a cross between blood and glory and a clue game. You fight like in blood and glory, and you search around for things on the map like those clue games on the market that I always see but never download.
I think it would be funner if you could freely move around, but it's pretty fun as it is, and that could ruin some of the suspense of moving to an area and wondering if somethings going to pop out and attack you.
Since it's free, there's no excuse for a tegra 3 owner not to download this and give it a go.

this is definitely a game you use to showcase the prime and tegra3 power. i cut superips on while playing so the graphics and screen pop out even more. its a beautiful game. and its free..lol

First it was Angry Birds Star Wars. Now, I can't download Modern Combat 4 or GTA Vice City for this phone.
Why can't this phone play those games? I am beginning to get annoyed with this.

Because its the first 1080p display and devs haven't worked on it to accommodate yet.
Also, Angry Birds Star Wars HD works. Just gotta shell out cash for it. Which is why I haven't bothered with it. It's a time killer at work, but not worth money to me.
I have the paid version of Angry Birds SW HD and as soon as I click on a level, the app exits. I hear this is the norm for DNA owners.
I just want to play the games, they don't have to make it 1080p for me to enjoy them. If it's the screen ratio they are worried about, just either stretch it or black bar it on the screen.
All you could do is email the app developer about it. Though as it stands now, a very very small percentage of android users have a 1080p display so the incentive for developers to update their apps to accommodate it is very minimal. Such is the downside of the early adopter. Of course, it will get much better is 2013 as most high-end phones are likely to come out with 1080p displays.

dont think of the resolution as much as the Pixel density... here is a list of pixel density of just about every phone is under 300ppi or just above... Iphone retina displays are 326... samsung Galaxy s3(306ppi) and Note 2(267ppi) .... I almost think app developers are scared to let us download it and it look like crap so they just lock it out from the market... MC4 looks great and plays awesome on my DNA but the fact that I had to buy it on my Nexus7 and transfer the backup to my DNA to get it to work is alot of work. Hope they get around to figuring this out sooner than later.

It would look exactly the same on a DNA as any other 1080p device. It would actually look better on the DNA than on a tablet because the pixels are closer together.

I'm also pretty sure it's due to the 1080p screen. I've seen people with the Asus Transformer Infinity having the same problem. Probably Nexus 10 people too if we look at their forum.
I had the same problem today with a game that i wanted to pay with a friend.

Lot of these developers including some big ones are lazy @$$es.
It was same when Note came out and even with many new phones.
Most of the games will work fine even with odd resolution if they are coded properly. Most of the games are. But lot of game devs put device ID checks in Play store. So basically they disable the install of games on new devices. Many times they take their own sweet time to enable the game install on specific device in the name of quality control / compatibility.
But if you have them installed on your older phone which is rooted and pull the APK and put it on the DNA or my Nexus 10, most games work just fine even with high resolution displays. Its just that devs fearing the -ve reviews or bad star ratings in play store stop you from installing the game. When that happens, I usually write to the devs. Many smaller devs actually listen and I found it very surprising that many write back enabling access soon in Play store. But these big game developers who ideally should take less time as they have bigger teams and staff at their disposal are the ones who take more time to do so.
Makes me angry. And I wish Google implements a mechanism where we can get our money back any time in the future by returning the license if our new phones get the incompatibility issues which go on for more than 15 days. There really needs to be something like this.
It does not happen to even new phones with new resolution displays. This thing happened when SGS3 launched, then again with Note 2 as well. Both these phones had traditional display resolution. Still devs disabled the install in play store for a while fearing -ve reviews.

This is not new phenomenon either. Has been happening a lot for year or two now. It's all because they are afraid of ratings.
If you go through the initial days of sgs3 and note as well as note 2 forums you will see discussions on this matter there.
Some game had genuine issues and rather than fix a minor issue some games and apps were blocked for weeks to months at time. But at least they had genuine issues. Many didn't. Some were blocked in the name of exclusivity. Thankfully they couldn't ignore popular Samsung devices for long. But I have seen some lesser known phones having issues for months with installs being blocked for no good reason. Had issues with oppo finder and xiaomi phones in past like this.
And it's usually smaller studios that tend to respond quickly to user complaints when it should ideally be other way around.
It should not take a big studio 3 months to unblock install or patch the game for a new device.
From my Note 2, right in your face....
1080p is the future. not the past. they will be compatible or the market will force them to.
Modern Combat 4 works if you download the apk and sdcard data seperate. If you've already bought the game, I wouldnt think it to be unethical. But I don't condone piracy. This is mot the case for the majority of games that are not available though.
Anyone get the EA Scrabble game to work?

I don't know if you've heard but GTA San Andreas is out for Android next week (It is out for iOS now). I think I will be buying it straight away if its around ₤5 because it is my favourite GTA of all time.
How do you think it will run on our Nexus 10's? I am currently playing GTA3 on the Nexus 10 and it runs OK everything maxed. Having seen some footage from the iOS version of the game, San Andreas is heavily upgraded graphically from the PS2 days.
Any way I am so looking forward to this release. I hope it doesn't cripple the Mali t 604.
Cheers.
ok?
think you should wait for a youtube video and some reviews.
but you seem generally excited. Go for it.
Careful mate....according the XDA "mods" you are not allowed to ask a question or phrase a question of any kind in the "general" section. Better \ rephrase that title quick before they come crying.
Vice city played great on my nexus 10 so I'm going San Andreas will too. I use a ps3 controller with six axis and it works real nice since the touch screen is a bit awkward

Just says 'next week'. At least it isn't too far away
I have seen some footage from the iPad Air on You Tube and it looks laggy as hell. Not sure what is up there? Not sure if that is good or bad for us Nexus 10 er's.
Waiting with baited breath for the Android version regardless!

Well it's the first release. There should be updates making it smoother. Maybe it'll be good on the nexus 10 if they fix whatever's wrong with the iPad version so the android version won't have the same bugs. But for some reason I don't it

I have just had another scoot on You Tube for some more videos and actually it runs good on the Air. Maybe the other video I saw were the performance was so so may have been on a ipad 3 or the 2. On the iPhone 5s it looks amazing. Conversely the iPhone 4 with a single core runs garbage.
Come on Rockstar don't let me down!
On another note has anyone played 'The Room'? Downloaded it today but haven't played it much yet. It was game of the year 2012 on iOS. Looks sweet on the N10.
Anyone got it to work on the N10? Mine keeps crashing right after the loading screen...
There is a new update now. It is 1.03. What version are you running?
I think I will wait until all this madness passes. What a balls up by Rockstar releasing a GTA game that crashes on 100% of Android devices.
I will download it tomorrow.
Hopefully it runs good because I saw a video of it running on a Note 2 (Mali 400) and its was running smooth.
Cheers.

The latest update solved the issue. San Andreas is running smooth on the N10...:good:
Battery is draining really fast so I am considering buying the pogo cable now. Can I recharge the N10 via pogo pins while using a usb gamepad?
No idea sorry.

you should be able to. The charge rate will be a little slower but itll keep you playing. thats how I do it.
Hell yeah, I'm gonna ride the crap out of some mountain bikes.
Is anyone playing on omnirom? it's not working on there for me. It just brings up a blank screen. I might have to try reinstalling

I have the 1.02 version and runs smoothly. I'm playing with a thrustmaster controller and there is no major problem. The only thing I don't like is that I can't change the buttons, I wanted to set them like on Xbox.
I downloaded the game and I must say I am disappointed. If you look at the iPad Air version there is anti aliasing just like there is AA in GTA3 Android version. But SA is full of jaggies. Totally spoils the game for me. Why can't it be an option in the settings to enable this or not? I'm sure I read that the Mali t-604 does 'free' AA in its hardware. The release was a **** up as well. It is now 2.3 GB with the added on file that was needed to fix the game.
Bottom line is the game just feels rushed for Android. I feel a little ripped off after spending ₤5 on it. I should have just reinstalled it for my PC and downloaded a hi res texture pack and saved ₤5.
Please up your game Rockstar!
Using the usb xbox360 gamepad I am enjoying the game so far but I wonder how to access the map via the pad? Always having to tap the display is quite annoying... Also it seems, that it's not possible to just aim at people (not shoot them) via gamepad as well...
I'm a fan of GTA but also learned the hard way to play big_boy games on a big_boy pc
