I recently purchased a game called Walking Dead: Assault. I gave it a quick play and decided it was a great game. Then a few days later it had an update notice, so I updated, that's when things got weird.
Opening the game in landscape crashes immediately. Viewing comments from others on Google Play seems to indicate there is a problem with our tab and this game since the update. However, accidentally I discovered the game still works if I open it in portrait and play in portrait. As soon as I turn to landscape, it crashes.
I just thought that was really odd. Hopefully the game developers can figure it out. When it works it has great graphics, sound and play, but I prefer landscape.
I would suggest letting the developer know. I haven't run into something like that on my games.
I did notice i cant launch the game any more, it just crashes ill try changing orientation and see if i see the same thing you do.

Would be interested in knowing if it acts the same for you. As redline80 suggested, I did send off emails and crash reports to the devs, but I'm not sure they believe me.
I have seen that happen a few times during beta testing for different apps. Hopefully they are smart enough to listen.
Anyone figure out a fix for this? Mine won't even open in portrait. I emailed the developers twice worth no response. Bought this game because of the sale and haven't been able to play it at all.

Chalk it up to Android fragmentation and too many devices to count ... I've had devs tell me they never tested the app on a specific device I had (despite it being reasonably high-priority) AND they also didn't seem interested in looking at the device issues any time soon.

It still works in portrait for me, but I stopped playing it because I prefer landscape use and my cover is a landscape type. When I first got the game it worked just fine, then an update ruined it.

Hello guys, I just recently rooted my android phone and I installed a custom rom (Nebula 1.0.7) However whenever I use any video messaging app (Yahoo, Qik, and Fring) I notice that my camera is always sideways and I appear the same way towards the other guy. My front camera would always appear to be sideways even if I were to rotate my phone.
I never had this problem before, is there any way to 'mirror' my camera so that it would look upright?
Any help would be very appreciated
Same thing here. I don't think there is a fix for this until we get the official froyo.
Thats quite a shame, I wonder why they can't seem to fix it.
No matter ,its hardly a issue
Yeah I know. It does suck. First time I updated to froyo and saw that I was like wtf? Lol.

I had the same issue running stock DK28. Sometimes it would rotate correctly, others not. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough!

Its Screen Rotation Lag.....I believe? I have been trying to fix that for a month or so myself to no avail. Its just a matter of time and a fix will become available. (Froyo/NebulaROM7Sisters-Ext4CWM3)
I think I found the Fix, Download spare parts from the Market. Open it, in the section marked transitions....set that to fast. I just tried it and cleared up all lag for me.

You're. Thinking of something completely different. Its video chat he's. Taklking about

You can video chat from phone to computer, phone to phone, etc.
Downloaded an upgrade to Skype today, and included was a bunch of new devices, that got videocalling with the upgrade. Among others was the Iconia A500, but of course no A100. ARGHHH!!!
After a couple of weeks of owning the A100, I'm more than happy at the size and speed of this little tablet, but it's getting to be really tiresome, that most of the cool new games and apps I find in the Market aren't compatible with the A100
Even some TABLET APPS aren't compatible.
And this is just the apps openly state they aren't compatible. With some of them, you won't find out until you either open it, and a message tells you that your device isn't compatible, or it just plain crashes on you...
(To further the confusion, in some cases you can download a demo from Tegrazone, but when you try to buy the full game after happily playing the demo, Android Market tells you, that the game isn't compatible with your device.... WTF?!?!)
Who's fault is this exactly? Is it Google that messed up? The developers that are just plain lazy? Or is Acer somehow to blame?
(I noticed that most apps report my screen in the A100 as being 600*976 pixels. Is this somehow the problem for at least some of the uncompatible apps!?)
And more importantly, what can I as a user do? Shoot off some friendly emails to developers? Or can a root or somekind of hack help solve the problem?
Opinions, suggestions?

Errr, yes it is (on A500/A501)! If you took 10 seconds to search you'll find in the skype parameters the possibility to turn on video (it isn't by default) and it works, I've just spent an hour on skype video, you can choose which camera you want to use, everything works perfectly. Sorry for being off topic but I just wanted to clarify what the person above me said...

Those options do not exist in HC 3.2 on the A500.
In mine stock 3.2 non root exist. Is in settings at the skype application. But you need the last skype update. I just finished a video conference right now and it worked great. Try again.
Alright, on 3.2 Rooted, but the rom that has all the bloatware and everything pretty much intact Skype does not do video calls or show ANY of the video options in the settings.
I reverted back to a backup of 3.1, and the app DOES do video call, and show the video call settings.
I don't know what your doing Kekinash, but you've got a magical tablet.
That's weird, my A501 on 3.01 stock rom with root is compatible with skype video calls.

This is both an opinion as well as a suggestion...
Be patient
Unfortunately the 7" and 8.9" sizes are 'new territory' for HC apps. Devs worked to get apps compatible with/to 10" screens and the associated resolutions that run on that size primarily for their tablet-only applications. In the same way devs for phone (1.5-2.3) apps have been working to make their apps scale up for tablet use, I'm sure HC-only app devs are working quickly to make their apps scale to smaller tablet screen sizes and those new resolutions. Even if the resolutions are already supported, afaik there's an issue in 3.2 causing them to crash when paired with 7" screens either way.
So when I say be patient, I mean hold out a bit longer and I'm sure things will be up to spec. On one hand you'll have the quicker devs fixing their apps to work well with smaller screens/different tablet resolutions and worse case scenario, you know it's all coming together anyway for ICS and at that point, everything SHOULD work.
Edit:
And friendly emails to devs let me tell you, do tend to get the job done. Especially when the app is popular. I use Getglue and was frustrated that it wasn't after quite a long time, not changed to be compatible with 3.0.1. I wrote a friendly email to the dev. asking for a Getglue for Tablets because I really loved the app and I sit with my tablet beside me more so than my phone now at home, etc. etc. and I got a response from my team saying that the app was unfortunately no longer compatible, but to use the mobile site. This was in July. Then roughly a few weeks or so later, voila! Fix'd. So it never hurts to let them know what's up.
most apps work in my stock A100
So far I have had no problems with the apps I use and have downloaded or even pay for. Skype now does video calls perfectly, the only app that was crashing a lot was a spell checker tha I did uninstall and replaced with an other one that has no problems.
Just checked, and the video options DID turn on in Skype.
Along with a little warning that it might not be supported, blah blah...
So I got to use the front camera for the first time today
Dunno if it's just me but it seems not all the apps I could/can see on my A500 appear on my A100. Same gmail account. For a while I couldn't find Facebook on the market.
Yeah, there would be a lot of apps for the A500 that aren't compatible with the A100 I can imagine.
Best way to check, is to go in to the www version of the market, then you can see all apps, no matter if theyre compatible or not. If you have several devices, the www market tells you which one of your devices an app is compatible with. I wish there was a similar feature in the market app.
BUT! On the bright side, I DID get around to rooting my A100... You think that might make a difference in regards to apps? Is there some kind of workaround available now that its rooted?
I just activated cam on my A100 and it is working fine.
?? Does Skype update automatically???

my Wife has the Iconia Tab 7" and when she gets incompatibility issues, all I do is side load the app. example, American Express app says its not compatible with her device. I just copied it from one of my Android devices and Bluetooth it to her, she installs it and it works 100%
sometimes the market place is just wrong. when I want an app even though the market says NO, I find the .apk from somewhere and install it. on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gameloft says their game Lets Golf 3 doesn't work....BS, Ive been playing this game for a month now with ZERO issues.
I would like to ask here for any help getting any (Other than FFIII) games to run on my nexus 7. I have been unable to run them, both the paid for (And I can't get a refund on the 2 i purchased yet) and I've also tried the 'cracked' pirated versions way, and in all cases, the game will not run(screen blinks for a second, returns me to previous screen, or it opens a black screen and sits and does nothing)
The only game I've been able to run was FFIII and sadly, the PAID version would NOT run (I had to use a cracked/pirated version) and I would like to know what I am doing wrong (And considering I've seen a LOT of others with same issue but no 'fixes' yet the issue seems totally random not dependent on the type of device, if the device is rooted or not, or the game in question, I think its something to do with me.
My n7.2 is rooted with the wugfresh toolkit(I had it rooted before another way and had exact issue so I'm not sure its this) and ive also tried after factory resetting the device and same issue.
So can anyone here give me some insight on to what I can try next to enjoy the games I've paid for at least?
Edit: as a test I tried the chaos rings I and II and II installed and played fine yet I did not, both were, if it matters, 'cracked' games and I have no interest in playing either. But added this just in case there's something about them which may help reach a conclusion.
hmm guess nobody else has had this issue. Oh well. Thanks for looking.
IMO I would install a PS emulator and just run the games that way. If you bought them originally on the market legally, obtaining a copy of the ROM for a PS emulator wouldn't be illegal technically as you've already purchased the media rights.

Square is picky about their games. I haven't played the FF games on my N7 but Chaos Rings works. Sadly I paid for it and don't really get into it.

I had the same problem. FFIII and FFV work, but not IV or Dimensions. I dunno, I'm guessing a fix will come eventually. We own a popular device.
Send an email to support, let them know your issue and solution. The piracy should get their actions in gear.
3 and 4 work for me, no go on FFI. It connects to server then hangs on "checking license..." Willing to forgive them if they release FFVII for Android (and if, y'know, it works lol)

Do you have xposed framework installed? That was my problem. Ffiii worked fine, but ffiv and ffd would not work for me. Not sure about ffv, as I had xposed disabled before trying it.
Someone else here posted some info. Check on your sd card for a file named either "__57d5__.log" or something similar. It should say what is causing the issue.
It might also be a dpi issue. Others have had issues with trying to run ffi at 200 dpi, but it works at 240.

I'm trying out Next Launcher 3D trial version and I like what I see. However, I seemed to get into some reboots

I read their facebook page and it seemed to cause some problem on the S4 (bootloops) but I couldn't
find anything related to Note 2 (but that doesn't mean it did not happen).
I'd appreciate all inputs. Thank you very much!

I just tried the trial version on Google Play Store. Not sure if it's any different than the paid version.
Emails sent to the developers and also posted on their Facebook page went unanswered...
(if pre-sale support is that bad, I can imagine how post-sale support looks like )
If you look at their changes log, every single update has this line:
fixed some crashes.
So, yes, it's probably not just you...
I love how it looks and function, but waiting 15-30 seconds several times a day for it to reload because it crashed after unlocking the phone, is unacceptable.
Thanks. Yes I really like how it looks and it's fast. however, if they never responded to questions I can't see how I can give then my money

Oh that's right. It seems likely that we will get that as we have the lens in photos app, and anything else Google can figure out how to change server side. I notice a lot of people complain about this phone but I think it's incredible. I use a ton of different apps from different sources and haven't had many issues. I can't say none, but not many. A lot of it seems to be permission issues. When an app force closes on me I go to settings/apps and Grant the permission it needs and it usually works. I think a lot of people don't know to do this, how could they? Something Google needs to fix. I know this has no relevance to your response or even the topic, and I apologise, but I've noticed your name in quite a few of the same threads I watch, and figured I'd offer my opinion of why everyone is having issues with this latest update. It's not completely automated, and I think for some reason people have come to expect that. Just go to settings sometimes and check out what's in there. A lot of simple fixes. For everyone out there, all 15 of ya, lol. Jk
