Was wondering if anyone else was able to download Need for Speed Shift from the market. I bought it for 10 cents a few days ago on my Fascinate. I bought my Nexus on launch day and noticed I cannot find this app. Unknown Sources is enabled and I have been on ARHD since day one, updating almost daily. Maybe it is just not compatible with ICS? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
Pull the app off your Fascinate and install it on your Galaxy Nexus. Maybe it works and they haven't tested it.
It shows up under my purchased list in the market (on GSM Nexus).
I, too can confirm the same problem. Moving from a fascinate with cm7 to the nexus. Online, the market says it's incompatible. I don't believe it, so I'll try what the other post suggested and pull it from the fascinate.
hy
in my nexus really good run this game.
full screen, and fast. no any problem.
install may be 1.62 version, download with wifi data, and run
able to install the game apk from market ... however when its trying to download additional 100MB of data ... nothing happens and phone just sits there ...
Same problem here. I cant find it in market so i tried to recover it from titanium backup but it blocked, tried to activate the data converter, nothing. Finally installed extracting the apk manually from backup folder and it was stuck on the additional download page but the market crashed immediately and i couldn't run it anyway. Uninstalled and after a reboot the market returned working...
I think we have to wait an update from ea.
Ps: the exactly same thing happens with the sims 3 but Worms for me works, except for some crashes and touch sometimes doesn't work so i have to restart the app...
I have a completely stock GSM GN and i bought nfs shift for 10c for christmas from the android market and it worked perfectly....wtf?
EDIT: hmm... uninstalled the game 2 days ago and now i cant find it in the market..

So I started up Asphalt HD and it informs me of a 100MB update, no biggie I got wifis and the 4Gs.. so it downloads and then takes me to the start menu, I click play and it says you have 5 minutes of free play, blah blah, then crashes immediately. WTF. I wiped my phone to factory defaults once too and tried after that and the same thing... anyone else have this problem?
No, but when I went to the market to buy it, it would get as far as the gameloft screen (even that didn't look right) and it would freeze. Tried uninstall and refund, neither worked. I got the game off eventually but it refused a refund. That was 5 bucks. Went to the demo and tried to but that, they wanted 7 bucks for that. They also want to charge it to your phone number. I didn't like that idea but tried it anyways. Got stuck on the screen saying please wait (for purchasing I guess) and froze there. Tried going to website for help, they don't even list the game. I tried looking for help there. They wanted my phone number or email to find my purchase. It said there was no record for me. After all that, to put that feeling into words.....
The demo included by sprint doesnt work for me, but the game works when I download it from the market. I ended up removing the demo anyway.
I found a download for need for speed shift, which is way better in my opinion. Need an unlocked phone to play it.

NFS:Shift is amazing.
Ok, ran into something haven't been able to figure out, so was hoping someone else has had and solved this issue, or knows how to.
I was browsing games on my laptop in Android Market, found Frontline Commando, thought I would go to phone, find it download it, cause since I rooted it, it wont go from laptop to phone in market....but when I tried searching for Frontline Commando, it wont even bring it up on my HTC EVO 4G, (it is running TMartinPPCEvoGingerSence v0.1) which I thought was close to stock...
So what it the market reading on my phone since it is set for all app, and locked in settings, that will not let some games show up??
I'm pretty sure its not cause ur rooted but because certain games are meant to run on certain phones with different higher specs.
I think its more about the rom developer and what kinda of setting in the rom. The game works fine on my phone.

Thats what I was hoping for help on, to maybe go in and rework some of the programming in root, I tried it on my wifes stock EVO and it works fine, but she isn't going to let me play games on her phone, ha, the nerve...
You might wanna try to change the LCD density level.
Roman
Ahhh yes, I did tweak with that after buying ROM toolbox....will give it a shot.
still the same, when go into Market, it says no match for frontline commando, even tho I put it on wifes phone, but couldn't get it to transfer to mine. put LCD to 217, rebooted, unblocked add blocker, quick rebooted, still no go...
for some reason phone will not lock at "show all apps" on market settings either....

I had this happen to me a couple of days ago... The fix I was told about, and worked, was to clear all the market cache and then re-start.
It solved my problems. Also, my phone WILL transfer from online Market to phone. You just HAVE to be logged onto Gtalk on your phone at the same time.
Good luck

Hi, Ive done my share of ROM switching recently and one problem i have is with restoring in-app downloads on a new ROM. Games like Shadowgun keep asking me to redownload the inapp game files 250 even though i had done that on another ROM and im sure the file is still saved somewhere on my sd because i never removed it. I Dont want to redownload because i pay a lot for the extra gb i download from my home connection.
another game, real racing asks me to buy the app even though i had done so before on the absolution rom. I pressed the buy game button from the app to see what will happen and it just linked to a page in the playstore that eventually told me what i already knew ... that i had already bought the app. so i go back to the game hoping the issue is solved and instead i still can not continue the game because it thinks i have to buy it. so. .. I'm stuck. .. can't play without buying and can't buy it again ( not saying that i want to or should have to) because it says i already bought it :s

I am updating my old HTC Incredible to give to a friend who demolished their smart phone and cant updated right now.
I have it currently at 4.08.605.15 ... seems okay.
But when I hit Market, it loads a web page to Google Play rather than opening up the market app...
Not quite sure what is going on.
Note that I currently have the phone on wifi only.. no VZW service...but I don't think that should matter.
UPDATE...
Just finished posting this... and I look at the phone and the New Market (google play) Icon is now there... strange...

Play Store (aka Market) will update itself if you give it half a chance and a data connection, so the change of icon is not surprising. Is it working now?
Yep.... was a bit confusing since I thought the apps had not loaded properly. Guess I never gave it a chance to update until I set it down to post.
Just put the phone through the various apps it comes with... works great... haven't picked it up for sometime since replaced it with my Rezound.
Recall it being the best phone I'd had up to that time.

I am having the same problem. No data connection, just "WIFI". When you said data, is this the only way the play store will update? I just flashed Touch of blue V:2.2 Not trying to hijack but keep the threads together since they are the same issue.
EDIT: I figured it out! After resetting the phone a couple times it worked. You have to be quick and click on the market while looking for the "accept" button to appear. It will only be there for 1 second and if it's not hit in time you will be redirected to the google play website. Hope this might help someone else.
I'm running stock AT&T 4.0.4 ROM, rooted with CWM. Google Play Services just updated to version 9.2.56 (034-124593566), and it's sucking my battery dry and making the phone run hot. I have a spare phone and brought it online, and the same thing happened as soon as Google Play Services updated. It is running anywhere from 50% to 80% of my battery when the screen is below 10%. Yep, it's using more than 10x what the screen requires. Battery that used to last 18 hours now lasts 2 to 3. Others have posted similar comments in the Play Store (like that's going to do any good). Common theme is it's older OSes.
I have tried disabling everything and it doesn't do any good. Too many things break if Google Play Services is removed. Going back to an old version is futile -- it self-updates within minutes. I tried GServiceFix and it works for few minutes, then the usage creeps up again.
I sent Google an email, but I expect nothing less than the run-around. So, I turn to XDA Developers.
First, is anyone else here still running stock, and did the same thing happen to you? How about on other ROMs (please specify)? Did you find a fix?
Assuming Google will do little to help, I need to do something to make my phone work right. So if there is a ROM where this is not a problem, I guess it's time to jump in. Problem is, some of the links in this forum are broken. I've found (or already had) most of what I think I need except a version or EFS Professional that works on our phone. I can find no working links to an older version that will do the job. I do have a Nandroid backup (also stored on my NAS), which I believe can restore the EFS, but I'd like to get just the EFS in case I need to load it to the system after flashing. None of the tools available in the Play Store seem to work on the Glide -- I end up with an empty backup directory.
My plan, assuming there is a Jellybean ROM without this issue, is to flash twrp-2.8.4-flashable.zip, since I understand TWRP is required for JB, then do another Nandroid backup with it, then flash whichever ROM is suggested to get over this. I've looked at Bubor's CM10.2, and it looks like it will fill my needs unless it also suffers this problem. If there is a reason I should update the Kernel, please let me know. I have not seen anything that makes me believe I need to.
Man, I wish one of the manufacturers would come out with a similarly sized new phone with a slide-out keyboard and AT&T compatible. I'd gladly upgrade, but there is nothing out there that meets my needs. Samsung S5 mini with slider -- I'm in.
Hi,
its one year later...
I'm with the same problem. Do you still have a solution?
Other ROMs have issues with camera and BT...
