BFBC2 1.7GB Update WTF!!!! - Off-topic

Just got in.... thought to myself........."hmmm I feel like hiding in a bush and shooting at something"........
fired up the old ps3, battlefield bad company 2 here we come.......
"The latest software update is availa..........blah blah blah"
Ok, nevermind it'll only be 20Mb or so..........
Imagine my surprise when the ps3 demands that I clear 1400Mb of disk space
Then I find out that the "update" is 1.7Gb in total........
Thats a 10hr download on my ****ty connection........
Better be worth it or someones getting a turd in the post..........
Sorry, just had to unload that somewhere.........
The dog didnt seem to understand............

What makes you think that ppl here will?

Good point................

I remember when I used to play BF2 and I had to get a 1.9gb update on a 2mb connection.... I feel your pain and all I saw were new maps

New maps and stuff is in the update. PC users got this update before, but withous maps, and soon we'll get new maps and some fixes

Android Market Questions/Issues/Comments

market...not working for me.
Initially, I downloaded and installed pacman and shop savvy. After the upgrade came through which put me at RC28, the market doesn't seem to work properly. When I click on the app I want, it looks as if the download is happening, but when I check download notifications, it says download unsuccessful. I've tried this on several apps...all have failed.
Heads Up - Market
In case you haven't looked lately, there are a dozen or so new apps today
and still nothing worth downloading
I second that. I am about to put the g1 up until something worth a sh*t comes out. But that's just me.
when did u get the update and did u have a choice to update or did it do it automatically,i'm just curious cuz i haven't got it yet
Did you try the download with 3G on??
If not, try it with 3G
We needed a new thread for this info?
The following morning after I got the phone.....there was a window after the unlock sequence. There did not appear to be an option, it just executed the update. I've tried both wifi and 3g....both don't work.
I noticed that I am having issues with some applications in the market. They will fail... I kept redownloading them till they finally came thru.
I haven't got the update yet. I think this is just because the market is getting soo many new applications and such it probably is having hard times with it all.

I read by Nov. 2nd it getting out there, hang in there.
As long as the software states that its a trial in the listing I dont have a problem with it. Someone will write a free version at some point. I would want to be paid for my work too
Most of the apps aren't trials, and the ones that I've seen that are thus far are clearly marked.
I don't mind, since it's not some large majority of applications that are timebombed or limited trials. You would expect some people to not want to give away their stuff, and there's not a huge flow of apps just yet.
Like all open source, I'm very enthusiastic to see what the market produces in the free category - I'm sure it's going to be impressive.
I don't know if the location of were I am located in the US but the I downloaded the widely talked about SHOPSAVVY application and doesn't seem to work well. Sure its free but it doesn't give me the nearest stores and only one or two online suggestions. WEAK SAUCE in my oppinion. I also saw and downloaded (by accident) trialware which I too believe should be in a different catagory. There were not a big selection of apps that were worth my time. Dissappointed
funny you say that because I always have my GPS on and I did it while I was outside. OH'well

This is ridiculous and I dont know who to contact to fix this. All these (****ty) apps are popping up in the app store as free, but really are trials, or even ADVERTISEMENTS for the actual product you must buy. I hope who ever is running the app store fixes this. Im disappointed because they said the apps would be free until next year but developers are making their own way around this rule to charge users for their ****ty apps.
This is one of the reasons i miss my windows mobile phone so much, because of all the excellent developers who created software for free, and diddnt try to make a pretty penny.

Its BETA so developers are going to put out BETA apps for people to test then they will charge for the final product. If you don't want to pay for apps then don't. Stop *****ing the damn phone/OS just came out. There will be free apps eventually, you can't even compare to Windows(WHICH HAS BEEN OUT FOR A LOT LONGER).
I understand your anger. Trial versions in my world ARE NOT FREEWARES! It's called SHAREWARE and are completely another kind ob beast. I'm REALLY PICKY at what I'm adding to our directory of free Android software and there is no chance for a trial, shareware or a demo to get inside. I'm myself sick of all these "smart promotion strategies" by developers and I hope Googlers at Android Market will sort this out soon (but I fear they won't interfere too much). Let's see!

Sick and Tired of Robo Defense

Im sick and tired of this game...it won't make me sleep!! So worth the $$$ tho.
If anyone has this game since this is my first purchase, do you uninstall the free version or will it take my scores/achievements/points away?

If you had a free version 0.6.0, then installed paid version, you can remove the free version and all of your data will remain intact.
By the way, it's the best tower defense game on Android!
DAMN YOU FOR COSTING ME $3!!!
Now to go try out the game, but if you are a tower defense enthusiast I expect I will not be disappointed. lol
yeh its a great game, definitely worth the money. LoL brandek sifn't try the free one b4 buying
Maybe I'm overlooking something very obvious...where is the link to download the full version. I've been to http://lupislabs.blogspot.com/ however from there I don't see a link to purchase the full version

I agree its a great tower game, I also enjoy Retro Defense.
I saw what looked to be a tower defense game for the iPod Touch(?) that was fully 3d. The map I saw was a sphere and things crawled around it. It was very pimp! I hope something like that comes out for Android!
Edit: double post, sry.
too adictive it's soo annoying lol, is there a Windows ver avail??? for when the phone battery runs out
highly addictive
Tried the trial loved it bought the full app on market. Then was spending so much time playing it that I had to uninstall it.
the best tower defence I have found to run on a computer is probably http://www.towerdefence.net/games-204-Warzone.php
Soooooooo addictive. I was on a four hour flight and played it all the way until my battery ran out
Still been playing this game..... Damn! But is there a way to save your points/rewards/levels when you update a rom? Cause I just switched to Haykuru's 6.0r1 and I had to redownload the program but all my hard work flew away oh well I guess I'll just start from scratch again
I quote your request, same problem for me any time I'm changing ROM...
same here. I just tried out Hero, but the choice was between the awesome gooeyness of Rosie and the long hours perfecting my game. Thankfully I know how to use nandroid
A backup or online profile or something would be very welcome.
glad to see im not the only one addicted to this game, and that im not the only one who lost all thier points trying to be a hero

LOL yup started going thru the motions again with this game but still kinda want to save our games everytime we update our roms. Wish there was a way to save it to the sd card, this way it won't matter if we wipe our phone over and over again
This is a database game, yes? So it should be possible to backup the db for this app and then restore it. I have yet to look into the sqlite so am not sure if there are some wierdness.....
I will look into it this weekend and see if I can backup and restore the thing, put together an apk or even just a script to execute.
I just hit a million points. would be nice to not have to start over.
Ive got my aps on my SD card, so say I install a new ROM, wipe, and restore the symlink to the sdcard, would that recover my saves game data?

I dont have it on me. Do you have an android operated phone? If so you can just download it, copy to SD, and then plug it in. Oh, and what makes it even better is that you can just throw it on a USB jump drive and plug it right in.
Ah, this tab is beautiful.

I actually found 1.6 online, played it, it made me upgrade to 1.6.1, and then 1.6.1 force closes, im running TNT3.0, anyone else able to get it to work?
Pocket Legends is dead on android tablets since the new client release. As of late last night the devs still had not posted in any threads (I haven't checked their forums this morning yet).

yeah I had to do some serious bugging over there and went as far as compiling my own apk to get the tapjoy crap out and make 1.6.0 think it was 1.6.1.... thedevs yelled at me lol but the point was made regarding the need for speed when an update breaks support

Odd... this game doesn't show up in my market? When I do a search. I changed to the new market and is still unable to query the game. Angry birds pop-up though... so I'm hoping someone can help me out on this problem. I'm running VEGAn and the new market.

Probably just keep this going and update the original post so the board doesn't get full with crap. Only problem is the apps get released at 2:00am my time. I probably won't have the thread updated till about 6:00am CST.

Always good to have as a reminder, and maybe reviews. I downloaded it on my N1 today, haven't had time to try on my Xoom. But free is good, so the worst that can happen is I don't like it and have to blow it away. My only complaint, after rooting tonight and having to reinstall the Amazon apps is that it only lets you download and install one at a time, quite the PITA since I had over a weeks worth of stuff to catch up on. 12 downloads, one at a time.
Today's app is Fruit Ninja but it does not appear to be the version designed for Tegra processors.

Really wish it was the THD version. But free is free.
Weatherbug Elite today. Grab it for your phone and get the free tablet version from the market.
I wanted to try this app!
Thanks!
Flight control today. Tablet ready.
Thanks.... got flight control
Get it while you can. Ad free and looks fantastic on the tablet.
This version of Backbreaker Football will not play on the Xoom. However, there is a THD version out there if you really want to play the game.
sorry I missed flight control; I bet it looks great on the Xoom..
I have a hd backbreaker file. It seems like this forum doesn't accept .apk postings of actual files... if anybody wants me to upload it to rapidshare or something just let me know

My Revos auto updated yesterday, one completely stock and the other rooted w/ GV2.0. I'm not sure that i like play(everything) very much, I dont see any difference aside from the ugly icons and new layout in market. I also havent bothered to do any research on the subject so this is just a completely uninformed rant.

Whoot! I have read into this. Google Play is a vision by Google to streamline connectivity of devices. New phones that are coming out are going to very much designed like the iphone, internal memory, internal battery. This is because Google has a cloud service, and most devices will have 16-32 GB memory, and that is it. Sony has the new Ion coming out and has made arrangements with dropbox for 50GB of cloud storage. The cloud is in. On the phone side, manufacturers know we want the latest and greatest, which is why there is a 6-9 month shelf life on most devices, and we upgrade every 18-24 months anyway.
So Google wants you to know that anything you have on your phone, you can have on your tablet or PC, much like Apple. And in order to do that, they could no longer call it "Market" as the name indicates that you can only buy products. With Play, you can buy, but store in the cloud and play the items on your phone and PC. Which is popular because Windows also does it. And with the fear of Windows closing in on Android, you bet that Android/Google is going to anything to keep an edge.

Lol 2 things you said that really cracked me up.
1. Google had cloud storage first so they're not doing anything "like apple"
2. Have you seen sales stats recently? Windows phones are nowhere near catching up to Android lol.
But yes I do agree that most smartphones nowadays are getting built like the iPhone which I completely hate. Why would you not want a removeable battery? Why would you not want external storage? Just makes no sense to me.

Correct they did cloud first. The article I read was saying they want consumers to have a better idea that your goodies are seamlessly assessable between your devices. I knew that, but I gather that not everyone knows that. And another article said that windows mobile will be a giant by the end of the year. I disagree there too, but you don't know what they got up their sleeve.
