I read you can complete a certain level without buying an ingame option. I hate games that want to charge you for stuff in game. This isn't facebook.

I know obviously good graphics take a lot of data, but jesus GameLoft, I have like 3 of your games installed and I'm nearly out of space. 2gig a game, not even pc games are that big.

Yeh, I don't buy ingame, ever. Thought it was worth a punt at 25p. If it requires further purchases to proceed I'll just delete it.

Yep, 16gb just isn't enough space these days!

Eh?

Most PC games are like 8+GB, and some are even 15GB+

(unless you mean the wee indie games)

Can you not force buy it anyway and then download it when your device is?

I have never had an issue with device being incompatible.

I wish this was possible but the Play Store won't allow it

Planning on getting a Nexus 7 at some point as well.

I highly recommend Major Mayhem. Keep coming back to it, addictive!

Also Jetpack Joyride is free. Not tried it yet, just installed it.

Both of these are fantastic.

I got Ski Safari for 25p which is excellent.

Is nova prime worth it, 25 p is nothing. I'm happy with stock gs3 launcher would this be an improvement.

Horn is not compatible with the Samsung S3. None of my devices are compatible so I can't even purchase it

Why can't they make the games compatible for all the latest devices FFS?

No doubt they will have it done in time for the price to rocket back up

Same here. It doesn't even show up in Play Store for me on my S3. I can find it on my PC but I can't buy it since it says incompatible with all your devices.

Is there any way around this?

I bought it and I like using it, simply for the fact that I can have unread sms notifications and like you said, 25 pence is nothing.

Apparently you can change the build.ro file. I tried it before but it didn't work even after a clear data etc.

There is also no way to manually add a device to the account

you cant buy it through the web store regardless? I'm sure you used to be able to do that :/

Got Sketchbook Pro. Don't forget that it's that last day of the sale.

I bought Batman but am putting off downloading it because I've almost hit my Plusnet allowance and downloading 1.8gb on giff gaff might raise some eyebrows (and take forever!)

antijoke · 1 Oct 2012 at 14:48

1.8Gb? Lol, that's insane, how long is that game?

Scam · 1 Oct 2012 at 16:33

Yeah it's pretty mad, although I think Asphalt 7 was similar. Damn these sales!

Installed nova launcher and now my touchwiz calendar won't show in the widgets. On a gs3 default rom

Nexus18 · 1 Oct 2012 at 18:33

In order to use stock widgets like the touchwiz and sense ones, you need to be using the stock launcher, requires the framework, no way around this afaik.

APW widgets is very good alternative.

For a calendar, I use Pure Grid Calendar

used to freeze and struggle a lot on my Spida, but it is pure brilliance on my S3

X Plane 9 is free in the store currently, its usually a couple of quid I think.

The calendar widget won't show up in anything but the touchwiz launcher. Plenty on the market though.

Thanks for pointing that out. Downloading.

Picked up Sketchbook pro, Horn and Great Big War Game today. Good times!

Works fine for me on JB. Bought it yesterday.

Something it doesn't like on my phone then. Back on ICS at the mo and it works fine on that.
