Damn i cant install yet, it says 'no carrier' next to my Nexus 7?

Install via the apk / obb method.
This is the APK, manually slap it somewhere on your device and then run it. https://mega.co.nz/#!MARTBTpK!egstWwCODIHEQ1O15kgkuUw5woPLixrJBStRZaXa60E
You will then need the obbs (there are 2 - do not forget both) https://mega.co.nz/#F!n151CTDK!wDWkQITqP2y0_bn6h2Z2yw - put the obbs in /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone. This directory will only exist once you have run the APK.

Then run the app, it will do a one time setup and then work

How easy is this to get in to? Never really played a card game like this one before.

Very easy to get into but as the collection is at ~500 cards you'll need to invest either a lot of time or money to get to a competitive level.

It runs it according to blizzard but the framerate won't be super. I don't exactly have the highest framerate on a Tab S and this thing has a decent gpu (I guess driving a 2500px screen might be the issue though). More than enough to play though.

How am I supposed to beat Lonewalker Cho in the starting games

Woogie · 16 Dec 2014 at 14:35

Hmmm only 1 comment on it so far but people seem to be saying Samsung Galaxy tab 3 10.1 saying its laggy which surprises me

Err, I thought the tutorial games were impossible to lose. Are you sure you're not missing something obvious?

Myshra · 16 Dec 2014 at 16:07

If you mean the NPC fight then are you attacking each turn?
If you mean someone slapped down cho on turn 2 it means they are running a minion heavy deck or it's their first legendary and they want to play it. It's niche is to stop people casting early game removal while you have a spell heavy deck but it's generally awful and a liability as spells are the most mana efficient removal so you want some spells etc...

jas72 · 16 Dec 2014 at 22:23

it's impossible not to win against the starter games you might lose the odd one.

I'm available to help online

Do you have a link to the app?

There is a good few apps called Xposed, I would like to see how it runs on my Hexus 5.

I have it running on a Hudl2 though, its not perfect but its playable considering I paid £39 for it

Buckster · 16 Dec 2014 at 23:22

ok confused - how come the link from android central takes me to the google play store and Hearthstone - available for install

http://www.androidcentral.com/hearthstone-finally-battles-its-way-android-tablets

but if I search or go manually in google play its not there ?

Defiant306 · 16 Dec 2014 at 23:43

Cause its not out in the EU or US

joelk2 · 17 Dec 2014 at 00:17

How am I supposed yo get anything done now. Got it running on my nexus 5

Buckster · 17 Dec 2014 at 00:27

defiant it installed fine from the Google play store link on android central

Running it now on the tab s 10.5 runs mostly very smooth and looks great

I just followed this : https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthston..._run_hearthstone_on_any_rooted_android_phone/

So I tested this on my Note 3, and should work on most rooted phones. It does run between 10-40 FPS, but much better than my Ipad 2. I expect its just bad optimizations like usual since the phone can run 3d games just fine.

Step 1: Download the APK and OBB Files from this post http://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/cmw1w2q

Step 2: Extract the OBB files to your SD card, make sure the paths are correct /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/XXX.OBB

Step 3: Install Xposed then reboot as directed http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

Step 4: install APP Settings and reboot as directed, search for it in the download section of xposed http://i.imgur.com/GG851l1.png and http://i.imgur.com/4G5z5vs.png

Step 5: install the hearthstone APK

Step 6: In app settings, Set DPI to 216 and resolution to 1600x1000, and check the xlarge res. box http://i.imgur.com/flmqorl.png

Step 7: Play hearthstone. Win! http://i.imgur.com/iFWW7G8.jpg

Bonus: 3 GvG packs for running it! http://i.imgur.com/qSdHpEm.jpg
