About the new Google Maps update

I was really looking forward to those features they showed for the gmaps update (3D buildings, no more tiles) and I was absolutely disappointed when I checked out the update on my phone. Is there a way to get those features?

There are bound to be some limitations with our hardware... it won't be able to do everything that newer hardware can do. Got to live with it...

Man that sucks. At least I'll be getting the Epic this Christmas. It's a shame that the only people that ever gave this phone any love are devs on sites like this, and the companies that you bought it from basically **** in your hands for cash, and is forcing you to keep it for a year.

That's Sprint giving up hope on one of its original android devices, thanks Sprint we love you too. But to some degree its understandable because the hardware on here isn't amazing, but hey im human and im gonna keep complaining until I get a good phone in quarter two in 2011

Ha, yeah, Sprint can't exactly force the Hero to be able to run this stuff. Afterall, it's almost just a G1 with more RAM..

3D buildings does work, but it's only available in select cities so far. The only things that don't work are tilting and rotating.
Also, there is still some tiling, but much less than before thanks to vector graphics

How does one access the 3D buildings? I can't see it...

The hero can't see the 3D feature due to hardware restrictions. But I did use the 3D feature on my broad Epic and its pretty cool. It only works in downtown where there are large buildings. It didnt show the depth of my house.

I used it for about five minutes and it lagged the heck out of my phone. Like, my phone became nearly unusable. A lot of people like it though, so apparently I'm an exceptional case.

Strange it is one of the only Live wallpapers that does not cause the phone to lag.

been using this for awhile. the only thing I don't like is that you have to reset your presets after you reboot. for me at least

This is brilliant. Really smooth on my NS and I like the customisation options.

Yea u need a phone with cojones to run this. Not every phone would run it smooth. I tried it on my evo and scrolling was terrible ...on my NS it doesn't affect anything. It runs like if Im not running a live wallpaper ..this phone is crazy or gingerbread? Or the hummingbird CPU? Or wtf? Lol
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Same here. I tried it on my Nexus One and although it was still perfectly usable there was a noticable lag to the scrolling and app drawer. The gpu on the S makes a lot of difference I think.

I have a Nexus S. Stock 2.3.1 unrooted. I guess I should have mentioned that, I just didn't bother since it's in the Nexus S forum. >.>
Or better yet, I should get one of those fancy technical signatures where people describe in too-much detail their current phone and phone history.

1 LWP replaced 2 other ones that i had installed (Bezier & Flurry)
this Solar Wind is exactly what i was looking for, both of those other 2 i had just didn't cut it for me
same idea, just better realizided by Solar Wind
... you know what is missing ?
Touch effects, like touch the screen, and a new stream shoots out or something like that (sort of like the nexus LWP)

Sure is pretty. And smooth. But a little busy for me. Am I missing it or is there not a way to customize colors? Would love just white particles.

SO TRUE!
touch effects would be a real burner...but the LWP is young, maybe theyre adding it...email the devs to force ^^

This live wallpaper rocks, I like the undertow style. Doesn't slow down the Nexus S at all which is the best part. Only thing that kinda sucks is a shorter battery life but not by much.

Great find! Just downloaded for my Epic and it is absolutely stunning

love it on the iOS

Bought it without knowing what the hell it was. Über-gay. Ha. Not that got anything against that. Just pointing it out. (Yeah, I go by Mr. Obvious).
It could use some help when loading screens. Kinda slow, but hey, other than that it is great. Fun, straightforward, smooth gameplay. How about an online leaderboard?

Looks like a Barbie game.

Lags quite a bit on my galaxy s captivate running 2.2.
After a couple of restarts it began to run a bit better but there's still quite a bit of lag, for example when dashing through a star.
Overall, doesn't seem nearly as polished as the iOS version. My old second gen iPod touch would run this game perfectly.
I hope the developers actually support the app and iron out all the bugs, not just forget about it after the initial release.

Same experience, but my description is more colourful: it runs like absolute s$%t on my Galaxy S. Seconds per frame, not frames per second.

Runs well on my Galaxy S (Android 2.3.3).

It also runs quite slow and FC's every now and then on my Galaxy S 2.2.1 at 1.5Ghz... I was a little disappointed. My friend with a G2 with CM7 at 1.57Ghz could barely run it as well. The funny thing is that it ran smooth as could be on my girlfriend's Aria running 2.2 @806Mhz when her phone barely runs Angry Birds... When it runs it is fun though.

runs a little laggy on galaxy s 4g but great game i hope they come out with more I went and bought it after I saw this post.

game is really laggy on galaxy s 2.2 and sometimes the buttons don't work

i love the flash version
and i would love this android version, if it would work right...
the problems are no fcs, or crashes, it scause my lcd density.
only lcd density 240 is working with the game, as soon as you have something else the unicorn dies instantly at the start ;( you cant do anything ;(

Yeah I've heard as much. Unfortunate, to say the least. Haven't messed with my DPI in a while, in part because a few apps just didn't play well. I wish i could still do it, and hopefully in time I won't have reasons to not do so on my end. This was even before RUA so I never noticed it. Hoping for an update .. for more than a few issues.

So the recent update removed open faint and that seems to have done nothing to improve performance this game i think has shown me how bad adobe air really is... There is no other reason why a game this simple lags so bad that it's unplayable.... I got my. 99 cents worth out of it but if every adult swim game ideas going to be as quick and dirty as this then I don't see paying for them at all

Point of minecraft?

I hear alot about this game/thing... Whats the point of it? It looks like something that you building insanely pixelated. aated cities, lands etc... Just dont get it. There has to be more. What am I missing? I read there were like 200 million copies sold. And few million on phones

Just try to play and you'll understand...
It's super addictive.

It's just basically making stuff and downloading other peoples levels they made that you have to do and like the other answer you got it is rather addictive!

Well, you're also missing stuff like crafting and survival. Depends on what difficulty you choose. Try for yourself.

I was wondering the same thing, because a bunch of guys I know love it. I tried it myself and I was bored within about 10 minutes. It's either you build something which isn't very impressive, or you sacrifice endless hours to make something awesome. But at the end of the day you don't really get anything for doing it... So I see no point either

Survival? How do you related survive and make objects?

Fighting with mobs, crafting armors and weapons, surviving night and spending day to gather resources. That's what it looks like when you play on hardcore difficulty.

Pretty sweet achievement.. still has insane bugs..

If you're a call of duty type, then this game ain't for you.
Minecraft is more or less a creativity tool. If you aren't creative, then it's not for you.

Right now it's the pseudo equivalent of creative mode only. In creative mode, there are no monsters, infinite resources, and your character can't die.
Survival mode is really what brings out the flavor in minecraft, if for no better reason than you have to "earn" what you build by harvesting everything and *not* dying.
Initially the dev team (Mojang) wanted the pocket edition to be like creative mode only. Now apparantly they're giving it some survival mode teeth, as that's what the community has been clamoring for.
Here's to hoping there wont be too many corners cut. If so, I may have to hunker down and actually buy this one.
There is a free demo version for anyone who's curious. The demo version doesn't let you save your worlds, so whatever you build is gone when you close thr game.

it's like worse than going back to the computers from the 70s, just with color instead of monochrome
i still remember Atari games that looked exactly just like that
