DNA not gamer friendly? - HTC Droid DNA

Hi,
I love playing games especially racing ones. But I'mdisappointed that my favorite game Hot Pursuit is not availablefor DNA on playstore. Even most wanted isn't available. Why is it so?
Is there any workaround to make them working?

Same with bejewled...
Bejewled blitz is available but not the regular Bejewled

If the games that aren't compatible are free games, I'd suggest just downloading the apk and sideloading it. One of the reason they aren't "compatible" may be due to the DNA being classified as a phablet by some people (which is the reason why Skype isn't available on the DNA).

Well it looks like they finally added DNA compatibility. If you read through this thread, Skype used to be incompatible with the DNA due to it being a phablet, according to Skype's tech support.

I think the resolution of our screen is an issue more than it huge size. Even though I tried to put an incompatible game apk in my dna and installed, it downloading required data over WiFi but sadly I can see only black screen while playing the game. I guess the game doesn't have texture files that are compatible to our combination of screen size and resolution.
If anyone got them work, help us. And yes Skype is working for me too

Damn Amazon..still can't get it to work on my Bell Atrix. After sideloading the apk..using an American address..and even with a Tmobile sim card..it still tells me its not available in my region..
damn wifi only. I've downloaded 500mb video files over 3g before. what's the big deal with a 73mb apk.
This game uses a lot of images/sprites as its graphics as opposed to vector graphics so it doesn't scale properly for qHD, I'm guessing it looks a lot better on a WVGA device.
it looks okay, a little washed out in comparison to the iDevice version.
Isn't working.
After multiple reboots, uninstalls and reinstalls, it will start and get past the popcap logo and just exit out. I'm rooted on 4.1.83, running GingerBlur. Can anyone help me out?

its on applanet, completely playable version, just a minor resolution issue
black screen
i'm on 1.8.3 using gingerblur 3.5 and when i launch the game i get a little audio from the opening theme but the screen is completely black. anyone else run into this issue?
edit:
got it to work. from the home screen, menu->settings->applications->manage applications, find plants vs zombies on the list "force stop" if it's running then "clear data" and restart. that worked for me at least.
There is an HD version for tegra devices. It looks a little too zoomed out where as the non-hd version on Amazon looks zoomed in.

I didn't know what Dead Space was so I looked it up on Google Play. They say that it isn't compatible with the Amaze. Maybe it just isn't reliable so they don't certify for the Amaze which could explain why it works with some and not others.

I hear ya, I'm just reporting what the app store said about the Amaze. I've never tried running it myself but obviously lots of you have... and very successfully.
From what I can tell, there are 2 versions. One that is available for $6.99 on the market that IS compatible with the Amaze 4G and one that is available for $7.21 on the market that IS NOT compatible with the Amaze 4G.
@OP - Which version do you have?

T-Mobile TV

Is there anyway to get T-Mobile TV to work for the note? I downloaded the app from the play store however when I open it, it says not compatible with your device. I know their are a lot of T-Mobile users and was wondering do any of you guys have this working. Or is there any possible way to get this to work?
Thanks

It only works on certain T Mobile devices. Also there is SD and HD shows that are also only able to be viewed on certain devices. Most standard def channels can be watched on all the devices that T Mobile TV works on but the HD channels can only be watch on a few devices as of now. I doubt we will get this working on an AT&T Note. There is a list on the T Mobile site that will show you all the devices the app will work on.
Maybe a build.prop change that makes it look like one of the approved devices.

Ah okay that sucks just thought it'd be a neat thing to have to watch some random shows when I was bored. A build prop change seems too much of a hassle for this small thing plus it might cause some other apps to stop working.

Same issue for me here as well. The game screen just doesn't refresh when in a car, the map moves around and get vibration feedback and I can exit a car and be a in a whole new area.
I did read a thread on Rockstar's support forums where someone else was having this issue with a phone that was listed as supported (HTC One X was having this issue too, same phone as the EVO 4G LTE) and they were looking into it. They updated by just saying we can provide you with a refund as we continue to look into the issue.

I'm on SwG 3.22 and I'm having the problem with the video freezing in car. I had found an "unofficial" version if you will that worked great on CM10 prior to them re-releasing it in the Play Store but even that version has the exact same problem now which is weird. I'd think it's a Sense thing but 12gage isn't having an issue on Viper 4G so I'm not sure.
@12gage - how did you get it working? Are you using the real Play Store version? Did you have to do anything special for it to work? I too have the MOGA controller and with or without it being connected it doesn't work (in car).

I'm using an "alternative" Play Store version (only because they won't let me get it). I just installed as normal and have had no problems. I then opened the Pilot Moga app and was surprised to see Vice City was on the list to play.

HTC must have changed something then. CM10 runs GTA3 and VC really well. Hopefully CM10 will get MHL and better BT quality and I'll start using it as my daily driver again.

GTA: Vice City

The Play Store lists GTA: Vice City as not compatible with my LG-E970. Yet, GTA: III is compatible, and Vice City is even it is compatible with my Acer A500 with a measly Tegra 2. I can't for the life of me understand why this game wouldn't be compatible with the OG.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Not sure either. My tegra2 will play Sims 3 but my LGOG won't /:
I think it's the company that releases the apps. They probably block certain devices. Not sure why though
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
The most confusing thing about this is that it's compatible with the Nexus 4 ! It's literally the exact same hardware, creating a port seems like an extremely easy task for Rockstar to do. Perhaps LG has to communicate with the publishers, regardless it's very disappointing to know that my superior phone can't run the same games my friends can for no valid reason.
Anyone think a build.prop edit would change that problem?
This is the email I got from rockstar last week
Hello Xorrito,
We apologize for the long response time on your support ticket.
Unfortunately your device is currently not officially supported. A list of officially supported devices can be found at
Due to the number of devices currently on the market, it is difficult to verify the compatibility of all devices. We are currently in the process of testing new devices, and will make GTA available for download to these devices when testing is confirmed as working properly.
We recommend staying tuned to this article and official Rockstar Games press releases such as rockstargames.com/newswire for the definitive updated list of supported devices. This way you will be alerted if your device does become officially supported in the future.
We apologize for this inconvenience and if you have any further questions, comments or concerns feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help in any way we possibly can.
Cheers,
Brad

at&t optimus g phone not supported aka AT&T LGE LG-E970
How come this phone is not supported while the nexus 4 is?
They have the same hardware.....:{
Xorro78, thanks for sharing that email. It's kind of weird Rockstar wouldn't test the comparability with our flagship phone. Hopefully soon.
MrZim4, if you try a build.prop edit please let us know the outcome. I'm guessing it'll work as long as it tricks the Play Store into thinking the OG is an N4.

Have you tried changing build.prop to a different or similar LG or another android phone/tablet that is compatible with this game that also has similar hardware I would almost bet the dual core snap dragon android phones will work just edit the device name in build.prop unfortunately they don't update the device compatibility fast enough per app/game but this mod should work, it has in the past say for example to play certain games on the HTC one x I had to change device name to replicate another android I think the HTC one s and compatibility issue went away in market. I'm actually looking to do this for gameloft live which lol is not compatible with this device but will work.

If you really want to get GTA VC working you'll have to download the apk and sd data from a 3rd party site. I've tested this and it works fine. Only do this if you have previously purchased GTA VC on the Google market.

Purchase and install it on your A500 then pull the apk from /data/app and the obb folder from internalstorage/Android/obb and copy them to your phone in the corresponding folders. I think the asec file might be needed, too.
