There was an update and not it supports 2.2 so I went ahead and downloaded it. I am having nothing but issues with it. It plays really choppy. Basically unplayable and it kinda sucks cause it took 20 minutes to download the data so I cant even return it.
Anyone else having issues with this game? I'm running Vegan 5.11
i am having issues with this game too. choppy if it even runs at all, and that's when it's not causing my entire tablet to freeze up.
My advice: wait to download this one until they have fixed the massive amounts of bugs that are floating around in it.
I agree, right now I have waisted $10
Also choppy and crashing. Wouldn't recommend anyone buy this yet.
This makes me sad, I had high hopes for this.
Did any of you try restarting your tablet after downloading? I downloaded and tried to run it and it was very laggy and was no good so I restarted and it works perfectly. I play it all the time with not one issue.
Since the last update, i've had no more problems with this game.

I did exactly that. In fact, the crappy part is that you can only get it with the supplement for VegAn-TAB 5.11. Otherwise, it is not visible on the market or available through the Tegra App. However, the supplement kept killing my audio and making my device starting hissing out of the blue as if it were possessed.
I have a service emailinto the company to see if I can get a refund or if they can send me an apk.
It sucks. It was nice, but I had to sacrifice audio or video. It never played 100%.
I downloaded an updated version. And now its like butter. Game is ok. I prefer gun bros

Tried to run Dungeon Defenders. It will load from the Market so that is good. The intro screen loads. But normally it checks that you are on wifi before loading patches. Unfortunately on the nook it pops up an error message about the network and being unable to reach the host.
I know it isn't the network since it works fine on my droid x. Oh well having that would be kinda cool.
Anyone know a way around that issue?
Where does your problem appear? I get the title screen, unreal screen, game spy screen, intro video, menu, I can play locally, internet gaming I can select a character and then it asks to login into my gamespy account. I don't have one and I really don't want create one. As far as i can tell it works.
I installed the came a couple of weeks ago and then uninstalled it because i did not like it but I never removed the data from my sdcard. After I read your post I reinstalled and it still works. Keep in mind this game wants to download 600 MB. So if your nook goes to sleep and yourwifi turns off you could have issues. What sucks is that it was $6 wasted since the market refund policy is now 15 minutes. Google really needs to change that again. It took 1.5 hours before I could even play the game in order to try it. I have a 40Mb/s internet connection so the problem was the servers that provide the additional contend that needs to be downloaded.
Same exact thing happened to me.
Go here: [wont let me post a link] Go to the Dungeon Defenders main website, go to the forums and then to technical support, there will be a thread at the top that says ANDROID USERS: Solutions for anyone having installation problems of DunDef:FirstWave! and it will have a link to instructions on how to get it to work.
It runs for you? I got all of the data downloaded but then i crash during the loading screen
Well I'm not sure if it was the update to the program today or my reboot but in any event today it downloaded fine. Actually seems to run reasonably well although the interface is different on the NC then it is on the droid x. On the droid you move with a little joypad, with NC you click where you want to move to and the character moves there. Not quite sure how the game works as I didn't really play it much but it is bright and colorful and seems to run pretty good.
If a network error occurs, just click ok and then click on the dungeon defenders icon again, it will start where it left off and most likely fix itself. I've got Dungeon Defenders running perfectly and everything works. I was surprised at how smooth it was on the NC. You can enable the joystick in the options, and it is probably the only way you can do well at the game. I have never had a crash and rate it 9/10 on the NC (not my rating of the game, of how the nook runs it). There are millisecond hang-ups I would expect to see on any platform, but nothing bad.
Its free from the amazon app store.
Dont even know it it works, ill update once i find out.
get it while its still free
====================================
So after downloading a playing there seems to be a few issues.
Should be noted Im Running Vegan-G
Game works.
Looks very low res
The background does not render only active areas are rendered.
i.e. first level, the only thing i can see is a strip of grass and the rest of the UI. everything else is black
Game freezes after a few levels...
Pretty much on par with what everyone else is saying...
Game runs fine on my Nexus S, including the background...
i was honestly expecting more from a known dev like Popcap
After it crashed my tablet the first time I tried to play it, the game runs perfectly. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 if anyone is curious. Now just if Popcap would bring tablet support to chuzzle.
Amazan dont supply my region where i live. maybe someone can post apk for Plants vs Zombies.
Thanks.
Been waiting for this one to hit android. Awesome that it is free for today.
I think because it is really a paid app, you are out of luck getting it posted here for download. Usually the mods frown on that sort of thing.

That would be against XDA's rules.
My whole family is addicted to this game. I have it on Mac and I installed Wine on my Ubuntu laptop just for this game. I was really looking forwards to it on my android devices.
Unfortunately, like some other thinks, actually getting it is not as good as the desire.
The app the make you download for the Android store is a pain. It's slow and clunky. Looks like they are using an internal flash or Java or something. The actual download was pretty slow too.
It runs on the G-Tablet, but it is not tablet optimized. It's just larger. Some effects are a little slow. Definitely not optimized for the G-Tablet's hardware.
Update: I'm running CM 7.03.
Worse than that, it seems to crash (freeze) after about 2 levels. I need to play more to see if it is just time, or a certain game event or action.
Edit: Since flash works, you can play the on-line version as long as you have 'net access, but it's only the first few levels. Just go to pop cap games.
It seems to just freeze a lot for me too. Sorta sad. Seems like popcap can do better.
Doesn't work for me
Unplayable for me--opens sometimes, but freezes or crashes before the actual game ever loads. I'm running Vegan 5.1 with Pershoot's kernel. So disappointed!
A good reason to play with different mods/kernels.
Force Closes and reboots tablet. Is anyone running CM7 playing this?
I'm running a cm7 nightly build from a few days ago. The game plays a bit for me but randomly freezes all the time (the music keeps playing), requiring a force close.
I pulled the .apk from my phone with the intent of copying it to my Dell Streak without having to infect the Streak with the Amazon Store.
Plants vs. Zombies checks for the Amazon App, and that the Amazon app has your Amazon user ID and password. If this check fails, it freezes with a black screen, and may be continuing to use battery. It also seems to need an internet connection to authenticate, at least initially.
If you do not want the Amazon app, or for some reason it becomes inoperable, apparently, all purchased Amazon apps will stop working.
I find this totally unacceptable, and IANAL, but this seems to me like at least pretty close to illegal "Tying".
Besides, at least so far, neither of the 2 tied apps seem to work very well. I recommend against installing either app at this time.
This is the worst (OK, not as bad as the Sony rootkit fiasco, but close) kind of DRM/Defective by Design
I hope somebody that can un-dex fixes this, but until then, as far as I am concerned, we don't really have PvZ for Android.
Unistalled the App and the Amazon Store App.

Same here. I can play one level fine. I go to the next level and it freezes before I beat that level.
Is there a fix? I was playing with my processor speed, but so far, I haven't found one that will play the game well. I don't know if processor speed matters that much, but I will keep messing with it.
Edit:
Processor speeds between 600mHz and 1200mHz don't help. The game crashes for me every time on level 1-9.
It's locking up for me too after a couple of levels in.
I'm running Vegan.
Running TNTLite 4.4.0. Game keeps randomly freezing, sometimes even before getting to the intro screen. Can't really play it.
Vegan 5.1.1 here, and same issues.
Freezes partway through a level, or right after finishing a level.
Works perfect on my Samsung GalaxyS though.

Wow. I just did the same thing. I re-installed the Amazon app store to get PvZ and it told me I had updates to the 3 angry birds I had previously installed through Amazon market in the first week it released. I installed pvz and updated the angry birds apps. Pvz crashes as soon as you try to click on options and after 5 tries to play I made it ababout 30 seconds into the second lvl it locks up. Uninstalled pvz and the Amazon market app. Then I went to check out the updates to my angry birds and it tells me I need to install the Amazon app.
This was not an issue before, the update that was done only made it so I can't play my games without having the Amazon app installed, which by the way always is running in the background.
F~ those guys dude. This skates on the border of illegal and is completely annoying. Way to ruin a good thing Amazon.
Thankfully I have my angry birds backed up with titanium.
works for me using bos 3.3.I will try to play more levels so far I have played 6 levels with no problem. First time i tried it frooze my tablet. had to turn it off then try again. works fine for now.
if only I could get around the bos 3.3 wifi error...
still having troubles with this game. everything else works so well on aosp.
Running Vegan Ginger and a couple freezes and FC's later, it seems to have smoothed out. Works just fine on G2x.
I have no issue with the Amazon AppStore being on here
No dice on BoS/HC 2.4. Installs fine, starts up fine, then freezes.
Hey all
Ive had my XZ now for a few days and i'm over the moon with it. I was worried reading reviews and opinions on the screen etc but I really think its great. I have one small issue with it that I just wanted to know if it was normal, or if indeed I might have an issue somewhere.
Now, I've never used this project butter android before, but flicking between menus gives quite frequent "jumps" in the animation as soon on older android operating systems. Also, if I play any games, even basic 2D ones, I still get the hiccups in the frame rates. IE ill get a couple of seconds of it being totally smooth, and then a hiccup where it jumps a few frames. Its not a deal breaker, but it is annoying.
Now, if I put the phone into airplane mode, then everything runs absolutely smooth, no hiccups in the UI, and games run absolutely flawlessly.
Is this normal, or should it still run totally smooth regardless of settings?
when not in Airplane mode, i checked with WIFI on and off, Mobile data On and off also. Bluetooth is always off, and so is NFC. The issue only seems to resolve itself in Airplane mode.
Can anyone help with this issue, or is it normal for this phone?
Thanks in advance :good:
everything should run smooth
do you run those games from older Sd card (class 2 or 4)
maybe you should do factory reset and check if everything works like it should or repair via SEUS (sony update service)
Did you do a fresh install of the apps or did you restore them from a previous phone using titanium?
There is currently no SD card installed so everything is coming off the interal memory.
I havent done a reset or anything as I didnt think of that seeing as it was new out the box and only a few days old.
All the apps that I had previously or had bought I just redownloaded from Google Play.

Yeah, me too. I was playing Temple Run OZ and the phone get really warm and it began to show frames and lag
Well in the end, to get around the "oh so not smooth" Sony UI, i went with a different launcher called Apex. Now its running as expected. I hope the impending update to 4.2 solves these issues as its a bit rubbish to have lags and skips on a phone this powerful. But I might just keep with the alternate launcher anyway

it happens for all phone
little bit lagy UI
don't worry about sony UI
i saw this problem in all android phones from htc, samsung & sony
it should be fixed but even ur PC have little bit lag when using it alot
Has anyone experienced this? While playing Madden Mobile it lagged quite a bit.
Yep! I have encryption disabled on mine and I have been seeing a lot of stuttering in games. I am not very happy with the performance I am seeing.
could also be that those games are not update to work with 5.0 yet. I haven't got my phone yet but if this is the case with most games, I will be disappointed.
I've been playing Soul Calibur (on sale for $4!!! Go go go!) and I was expecting it to lag. It didn't in fact the overall experience was awesome. That is why I wanted a Nexus phablet!
haven't experienced any game lag with Kingdom Rush Origins.
I'm seeing lag and stutters on Plauge Inc. and Asphalt 8 so far. I haven't tested other games as of yet. It's getting annoying. I might wipe everything and re-flash the stock image to see if it helps at all. What are you guys running right now? I'm rooted and un-encrypted on a 64GB Cloud White.
It could also be the apps themselves like Prod1702 suggested. I'm going to do a comparison with my co-workers N6 before I flash.
Update 1: I'm also seeing the stutters on the boot animation, co-worker is not on his 64GB MB. He is rooted and encrypted and has not changed DPI. I'm going to reflash stock and see if the issue persists.

Stock 32gb
Okay so another update for you OP. I re-flashed with the stock image and did a (manual) full wipe of the userdata using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Also did root and removed encryption again with some manual flashing.
So far no stuttering in Plague Inc like it was before. Going to re-download Asphalt 8 to make sure. If that tests well, I'm going to slowly add things back to see if I can find what caused the problem.
Update 1: Added all google accounts and exchange accounts back, also re-installed my android wear stuff so far. Still no stutter, even after a power off and power on. Perhaps the image from the factory or the OTA update caused some issues with performance. Flashing the image from google via Nexus Root Toolkit seems to have fixed it so far. I'll post if the stuttering returns. Otherwise, it looks good now.

Ill have to try flashing the stock image again too then. I am still using the encryption as I dont have any performance issues in homescreens and such, but most of my games lag pretty bad. it feels like they are running between 20-24 fps all the time. Rebooting doesnt help, closing all apps doesnt help. I was going to try removing encryption but it looks like people have the problem even with that. Ill just have to try reflashing the stock ROM and see if the lag goes away.
I just made a thread about this. Just purchased the new Gta Chinatown Wars for Android and it lags like crazy while driving around. Yet on my N5 it's perfectly smooth.
I'm starting to get real worried here
Hey guys,
This may seem like an odd scenario but I bought my tablet months ago to game on it specifically for Clash Of Clans. Everything worked well up until this morning. I was making breakfast and realized that there was an optional update so I performed the update. I then accidentally dropped my tablet in the kitchen which landed on my kitchen mat (it also has a case). When I sat down and launched the newly updated game I am experiencing incredible game lag. Almost like the game is performing at 10 fps. I looked at Game Tuner and made sure everything was turned all the way up. I restarted the device multiple times, uninstalled Clash and reinstalled it three times. More reboots etc.. I even installed an earlier version of the game but I am still experiencing the choppyness.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do next? Did my drop in the kitchen cause the tablet to under-perform and possibly break or is this merely a software issue with the update? Can I force the game to go into some high performance mode? Definitely not how I wanted to start my morning!
Thanks in advance.

It appears that the issue was stemming from a low battery (around 35%). I came home to a fully charged system and there is no lag.
As long as it didn't crack, you should be fine.
You're right about the battery, I believe the processor begins throttling down at low battery
That's a Marshmallow battery saving feature. When you get to about 40% it starts turning off cores. Perfectly normal! My phone becomes noticeably slower when power dips. It's a bit annoying.
I think this also happens in lollipop (5.0.2) as well. Mostly around 35%...
