[Q] probably the stupidest question ever.... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

a guy at sprint told me that the note 2 can play pc games... can anyone verify this? Or is he just trying to sell me a phone?

I don't think so... instruction set is different plus then you have the hardware that the game is expecting... maybe console games via emulator.

not possible. Different OSs, and thus different engines. If ported or some kind of streaming to the phone from the PC, maybe.
Of course he was trying to sell you a phone. Unfortunately, the sales person was just an idiot. I would assume that person falls for every chain letter, email, and post.
To be nice, the person may have met PC like games. Some games are getting towards the mark of console and PC games

I hate when salesman talk crap. They have no clue what they talking about.
about 2 years ago they said to me that symbian phones are not classified as smartphones.(in 2010 symbian was still big) So he tried to sell me samsung with BADA instead . lol.
back to the topic
DOSBOX Turbo, emulator . allows you to play pc games.

well long story short though.... I LOVE THIS PHONE!! . Yes the guy lied his @ss off but only having this phone for less than a day and i love it more than my LTE ive had for the last 3 months. Its also going to bring a lot of "opportunities" and "special" things for you all once I get everything setup!

Maybe he was talking about OnLive?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onlive.client
But this would work with most android phones.

you can also vnc to a windows machine. it would be terrible but it would work

Well, OnLive is more dependant on which Android version you have and the bandwidth you're getting. Android 2.2 or later for games that have touch inputs added. Android 3.1 or 4+ to use a controller for games that have gamepad support.
I've been using OnLive about a month after it went public. I have used it on Android with their universal controller. I tried it on the GN2. Worked good when I had the bandwidth, which was over my WiFI. The LFE around here has horrible upload speeds, and I think it caused it to crap out.
On a side note, the games on OnLive are the PC versions.

Is anyone else getting bored with their Evo?

Maybe its just me... but I'm becoming quite bored with my Evo. It doesn't matter what ROM I'm using, I am just getting over Android. Sure it boots fast... but my battery won't last even a full day with heavy usage and its tedious changing them all the time, the touchscreen is way too sensitive at times, and since FroYo, I've had way too many freezes and reboots to count.
I'm honestly ready to jump on the Torch or just go back to using my Bold 2... I could pound the hell out of my Bold 2 and it would still last a day and a half minimum, I rarely, if ever, had it freeze, and it did most things I needed it to.
Am I missing something here? Because Android is turning out to be pretty boring. I hate the fact that I can't have a full desktop replacement like I could on Windows Mobile, I rather dislike having to select one e-mail at a time to delete it, and the customization is just not there...
you had me until you said you'd go back to blackberry.
Boring? Bb may be the most boring thing ever
But yeah maybe android isn't for you if you think you can do most things on your bb.
I like mine still and gingerbread will make it more interesting.
That said it gets stale at times but so did iphone os and web os
All things do. Bb got stale 5 years ago
I said I'd go back to Blackberry for stability purposes... not because its not boring. Plus I wouldn't have to buy another phone... I already own a Curve 8330 I can use on Sprint and my 9700 is on ATT.
Its either that or back to the Mogul or Touch Pro 2... I'd rather shoot myself.
I guess for me it would be more useful if I had a hardware keyboard...
EDIT: I guess I was expecting more... You know full flash is great and all... but without proper 3D acceleration it runs like ****. Same goes for the games on the Evo. 43FPS on Antigen? Are you kidding me? The Evo should absolutely SPANK that game...
Dude, if you like stability, unroot your phone and use stock 2.2. Stock = Stability. Period. Also, how does one get "bored" with a phone? As far as I'm concerned it's a tool you use to make calls, browse web, send texts, etc. Do you ever get "bored" with your laptop or your tv because it does what it's supposed to do? Please.
I hear you and don't totally disagree
Android platform is still young
Maybe windows phone 7 can bring something new along but I doubt our as they are blatantly copying iphone os 3
Its tough to keep pace nowadays with users demands for new stuff. I include myself as one of those users
As far as bb I was questioning why you'd buy the torch but if you are saying just a phone you already have that's a different story

I do get bored with my TV thanks and my laptop and my desktop can both be upgraded to extend its capabilities. I run multiple operating systems on both machines.
And stock isn't stable. I've seen people ***** about stock just as much, if not more, than rooted. FroYo is just trash.

I don't have high expectations for WP7. I would love to be proven wrong but I don't even enjoy that particular interface on my Zune...
The Torch is something new and it fixes the main *****es that I had about BlackBerry - boot times and the web browser. Plus ATT offered it to me for 214 even though I only became a customer in January.
On the same token though I think its absolutely appalling that RIM is using the same 624MHz processor that my Bold 2 has and the Bold before it did as well so that would definitely factor into my decision to most likely not purchase the device.

Just a nature of the beast
I tried iphone 4 and was bored after a week
Android is new completely to me so I'm still having fun with roms and kernels, oh my
But I'm sure I'll get bored at some point I just hope gingerbread is out by then
I've not had stability issues though barring some mistakes I made as I learned how to properly flash roms
If I can hold on til Gingerbread (provided the Evo has the horsepower to run it considering it has no dedicated graphics processor and Gingerbread recommends it) I might be fine... I guess one of the biggest annoyances for me is the difficulty in finding apps. The Market is a huge mess. On my berry, I search appworld for a term and it searches the description as well plus gives me options to organize by price, popularity, reviews, etc... Unless I am blind, there is no way I can do this with the Market...

The Evo does have a dedicated graphics processor. In fact, the adreno GPU is quite capable for a mobile device. Games just need to be re-written to support it (Nova is an example of this, it used to run like crap, now runs beautifully). Sure it's not as powerful as the SGX series, but it's certainly not that underpowered.

The community around thee android platform had really impressed me
Especially on this board!
I honestly don't see how you could possibly get bored... You have roms and kernels to last you days of flashing...
Like gambling? You can play Live Poker.
Like racing? You can play Asphalt
Like reading quotes, books and newspapers? theres an app for that.
Like porn? well who doesn't? There is even an app for that.
Craving some super mario or final fantasy? You have emulators.
Like listening to music? You have pandora and a bunch of other radios...
WTF MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT? Some people are just never satisfied.
like honestly...I just don't get it. If your having trouble finding a stable Rom try evios latest and use one of kings kernel. Im easily getting 15 hours on a single charge with moderate-heavy usage.
P.S the latest app thats been keeping me busy is Akinator. That sht is crazy!!! the first time I used it I literally dropped my phone.

[Q] How to access Xbox profile Through Android Phone

Hey! Im new to posting on a forum, usually I can find what im looking for. I guess for this one I will have to ask. I have my Xbox Live profile saved on my micro SD card and it works great when i plug the micro SD in to a card reader and then in to the Xbox. But when i plug the sd into my phone and connect the phone to the xbox with a micro USB cable it doesnt show up at all. Any Ideas??? it would be convienent to be able to use my phone for the profile as i have a 32gb micro sd and i always have my phone!
Just download the app Xbox live statistics. You won't need your SD card for it.
I took a look at the app you suggested and correct me if I am wrong, but it looked like it was just to read up on your profile. I want to be able to take my gaming profile with me so I can sign in to my xbox live in more than one place ( obviously not simultaniously) without having to recover my gamertag to each xbox I go to... People do it with flash drives or hard drives.

This may be a silly question, but when you plugged the phone into the Xbox via USB, did you remember to put the phone in "disk drive" mode?
A lot of times it is the silly things I forget
Ya i am mounting it in disk drive mode. its just really weird because it allows me to do it with a usb sd card reader with the same card. and the cable works with my phone on my computer....

Make sure you have your profile on the root of your SD card. If not that is why it is not reading it
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
ya it was on the root of the card. Xbox makes a sort of partition on the card, and android can see it but i dont know if that is the problem...
Sorry but this can't be done (after the last update). Ill tell you why; Xbox allows flash drive support and it has to wipe the drive and make it to a format that's only readable by xboxes (or computer software). I've tried this multiple times, plus you'd have to wipe your phone every single time. Also Xbox sees our phones as media devices and not for storage. If you can trick your Xbox to think your phone is a flash drive only and not be able to store stuff on your sdcard have fun. Best thing to do is buy a cheap thumb drive; Walmart sells a 2gb for 8 bucks. Android won't read the Xbox format which makes this kind of impossible lol

I feel fine. So a group of Geo fans wanna shut down the PSN sporadically.. nothing really for me to "not feel safe".
I recently had surgery so I have been playing Black Ops virtually non-stop without any issues.
Sony is far from perfect, but I think they'll survive these "attacks".
I can google xbox hackers and find many scary articles as well. It's out there, regardless of the console.

You say an 18 year old kid like that matters.. Geo is very good at what he does. There is a reason why people have tried and tried to hack the ps3 and failed until he done it.
That "activist group" has done nothing to the PSN aside from interrupting it momentarily. Sony has since hired some more serious people to defend against it, and it is obviously working. You can google that too =p
The xbox can be hacked as well, google it~
And yes Black Ops is getting kinda boring.. but new maps coming in May for you guys, June for us >=(. That is a feather in the hat of the xbox tho~
I use both, I notice little difference in them honestly.

Glad you went online and did some reading; but yeah new maps only extend play about another month. Cod just needs to quit being lazy and stop recycling the same engine over and over. Hey here's an idea lets use the same engine(for past 4 games) and give these idiots new maps and guns and milk it for what its worth. I'm not investing anymore money into that company screw maps. I'm ready for battlefield 3 and gears of war 3(something that always make Xbox better than ps3).

Im a huge gears fan so of course ill have that as well but that's 3rd person. If cod doesn't get its act together I feel like the name will vanish.

Possibly. Madden hasn't vanished tho.. which is sad. Although, one reason why Madden hasn't vanished is because it bought the NFL exclusive which is a crock of *bleep*. I was actually enjoying (NFL 2K5 I think?) before that happened.
So, it's possible that CoD could die off because they have no exclusive. They are still selling like crazy tho which really doesn't motivate them to change anything, and honestly.. it doesn't need a full makeover, just freshened up.
I think once they get to a point, there just really isn't much they can do. Like in Madden, what can they really do to make it different from what it is?
I kinda think these other companies need to really step it up and create some good FPS games so I can rotate them. That way when I want something different, I can just slap in another game that's equally as good but with a totally different playstyle.
Hopefully you're right about BF3, but I was seriously disappointed in Bad Company 2 so I may be scorned.

Yeah, they don't publish the Tegra version anymore - at least not on their site. I would assume if it's not on there that they don't make it so I would just grab the Arm versions. I use the Arm7 version on my Nex7 and my SGS3 and it works wonderfully.

Quick story - Bob Probert is the baddest dude on the planet. I'm playing NHL 94 or 95 (I forget) and Jaromir Jagr always ruins my day and I hate him. I am playing as the Red Wings and all of the sudden a fight breaks out - it's me as Probert and the computer is Jagr. Probert has 100 fighting so I am going to spill some blood and I am overtaken with a happiness I have not felt since.. and then.. all of the sudden.. the power goes out. I don't get to exact revenge on dear Jagr and the aforementioned happiness becomes sadness and then rage. I grab my genesis controller and throw it at the tv. That freaks out my dog who runs into the TV stand and the TV comes crashing down right onto my genesis. Jaromir Jagr broke my Genesis. If I ever meet him I am punching him in the throat and asking for $100.
End of story
nice

Probert has 100 fighting so I am going to spill some blood and I am overtaken with a happiness I have not felt since.. and then.. all of the sudden.. the power goes out. I don't get to exact revenge on dear Jagr and the aforementioned happiness becomes sadness and then rage. I grab my genesis controller and throw it at the tv. That freaks out my dog who runs into the TV stand and the TV comes crashing down right onto my genesis. Jaromir Jagr broke my Genesis. If I ever meet him I am punching him in the throat and asking for $100.

Cool story bro... :highfive:
Before anybody else gets upset at me for quoting/acknowledging this, SOMEBODY has to feed the trolls! Plus since the Tegra development for VLC is at a halt apparently it gives us something to do lol

Any good RPG's?

I've been playing GBA RPGs for a while on this phone and am looking for some good Android-native RPGs. I was looking at the Final Fantasy ones but I am not paying $7-16 for games I already have on my DS. Any suggestions? Free preferable. I already have Battleheart.
The Zenioa series might be a good one for you

Lol, I know how to search RPG on Google Play. I obviously want people's opinions on what they like to play. Why does EVERYTHING on this forum have to be Google it or search the play store.

LOL I know! Seems like its everyone deems someone that asks a noob or lazy...
I've been looking for this too! Tried Zenonia, its kool but the 3rd and 4th are pay to play, in game unlockable for cash :/ why is it becoming a tendency?
One thing I've been searching is for a good tactical RPG like Ogre Battle or Final Fantasy Tactics, the closest thing I've found is Spectral Souls and it's $14.99 Reason I haven't bought it yet, thanks to the new 15min limit rebate, I won't know if it's really that good to keep or if I don't run into problems during the download of the extra 1.5GB of data
A good hack/slash RPG is Caligo Chaser, it's $2.99 but worth it. Good controls and decent continuous story line, played it non stop for days.
Another one is Across Age DX, it's a free trial and unlock once you finish the intro phase. The developers compare it to Zelda, but for me it's more like Wild Arms 1 gameplay. They are very similar, tools and co-op with party members. The story seems good so far and the dialog is well put together too. Haven't unlocked it yet, but I will once I clear out some minor debt...
How's Battleheart working for you? Just saw the vid and it seems really good, somewhat a rip off the old FF jobs though :/ Noticed what seemed like Paladin, monk, white mage, dark mage, etc -___-
Edit - I haven't installed any EMUs yet due to onscreen controls being uncomfortable for me, huge hands... I'm considering getting the PS3 control adapter for the phone and use that. forgot what it was and didn't bookmark the site *facepalm*
Kemco makes several that are pretty cheap ($3~4 last I checked). Eve of Genesis and Symphony of Eternity just to name two of them. Gamevil makes one or two. I have Illusia from them. Also downloaded Inotia3 (which is free) a couple of days ago, but I really haven't touched any of them with the exception of Symphony of Eternity.
Like you I've eyed the Final Fantasy games, but I'm not paying that much. Spectral Souls has been on my list too, but again... Not paying $15 for it.
Problem with the free ones is that they're free to play, but to get anything worth getting you have to pay for it... as you know from Zenonia.

The problem with the 15 min is you can't really judge an RPG in 15 min!!! It takes way longer, especially if they have intros/tutorials.
I haven't played Battleheart in a while but I like it......didn't really have a story though. Maybe I did and missed it.
As far as EMUs I haven't been able to gague my phone's battery life at all because I spend almost an hour a day playing Pokemon LeafGreen lmao. My coworkers think I'm nuts now. I paid the $4.99 for VGBA and I have to say it was worth every dime. Especially since I figured out how to transfer my files to the PC and trade with other EMU saves......after I finish up with Pokemon I'm probably going to play Golden Sun which I never got around to but heard is great.

That's why I've stayed away from buying a few...
Never was into Pokemon... Now Golden Sun for GBA, that I played (during my breaks from my old job lol) and still have both cartridges Golden Sun and Golden Sun Lost Age. The game has an awesome storyline and plot, the battle system is good and the Dijnns (summons) are a nice.

Kool! Need to see if my old GBA SP is still at my mom's... all I need is to get charger for it. Still those Golden Sun and Metroid Fusion cartriges haha Though I'm thinking of getting a used PSP, hacking it and puting in the GBA emu
Have you found any other good RPGs for Android?

I'm just going to get a flash cart for my DS. Is only $20. I was thinking about buying a PSP too but I'm stick with my DS. If you can pick up a DS Lite for cheap (40-60) and a flash cart for $20 that might be a good investment......
Also, I haven't checked out any of the games suggested but am going to do that this weekend.

I've been considering the DS and flash cart, it's dead cheap. But my better half is most likely going to get the 3DS and it can use the flash card too, but not for 3D games, yet that is.
Was goin for the psp cause of some of the RPGs and FF tactics, though there's the DS one... Idk, now you got me undecided lmao
Check out http://buy.thegameklip.com it an adapter that attaches your PS3 controler to the phone.

I'd get the SuperCard DSTWO for the 3DS. It's like $40 depending on where you get it from. There are cheaper ones but from what I know this is the only one that is constantly working as the 3DS firmware upgrades come in.
AND get the PSP lol. The PSP is worth it just for being able to play Final Fantasy 7-9 in my opinion.

Thanks, I'll have that in mind for when they get the 3DS.
As for me, spoke with a friend and he might be able to build a PSP from parts he has lying around, he repair them on the side. I settled on the psp

Lucky you. I had a PSP a while ago that I had modded but I wound up selling it because I didn't really use it at the time. I wish I had kept it. From looking on EBay/Craigslist I think people are wayyyy overpricing their 3000's.
you don't really need an adapter to use ps3 or wii controllers. They both use Bluetooth and their are neat apps for connecting them, remapping buttons ect....

Good one! Haven't played the wii version yet, need to finish a RPG first.
This kinda derailed a bit lol originally the op was looking for Android games...
@gpgorbosjr how has your search come along, were you able to try out the suggestions?

ETERNITY WARRIORS 2!!! it's the best damn game. It's a little unstable and has some lag but it's awesome... multiplayer menu lag is horrible. It just me who has fps drop randomly for a sec and have unresponsive game buttons in menus?
