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

Its on the market, search robo and should come up....
worth every shiny penny

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?

nope unfortunately its a protected app and you'll need to redownload it in the market even though you have apps2sd.

Has anyone noticed this?

both Tetris and Need for Speed Shift have been removed and re added on the market which new prices. I purchased then during the holidays and now I have to really buy wtf is that all about

Yeah, it doesn't show up in my apps list in the market. So unless you had it backed up titanium your probably screwed. And I have seen developers on the market put really high prices on older versions of apps to maintain support for someone who may have purchased it previously. But it seems EA decided not to go that route.
good day.

Oh wow thats... sucky... If I just copy the apk with root explorer, will that keep the game or do I really need to go buy titanium to back it up?

if you copy it with root explorer and move it to your sdcard...or pull it with adb you can keep the .apk obviously...however if you data wipe at any point your progress in a game will be gone....you need titanium to backup the app data (think angry birds scores)
really if you root titanium is essnential and worth the $5

What bugs me is the fact that I bought NFS from the market (when it was on sale) and now I have 2 NFS icons in my app drawer! The original icon is vzw bloatware wanting me to pay $9.99 for it, and obviously the other is the full game I purchased from the market, and, as expected, I can't get rid of the bloat without root! I call Shenanigans! Thank God for LP+....

Disappearing apps

Well, one minute apps were there, then the next minute I couldn't find them.
It looks like transferring apps from the system memory to the sdcard is the cause of this. I didn't have this problem when I had Tbolt. Can somebody duplicate this problem?
Also, I managed to crash the system while copying 300+ files from one folder in sdcard to another folder in internal memory . The screen went black and buttons weren't responding. I had pull the battery out to reboot.
Moto worked on this phone for additional 9 months and still has bugs like these? All these are not good at all.

I had similar problems. After installing apps from the market, I could use them, but after reboot some would be gone. One app that was giving me fits was the xda premium app. I think I reinstalled our about 5 times.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was playing the free version of Tetris that EA put on the Market, and I got a call while I was playing.
I picked up the call, finished it, and when I went back to the Home screen I held down the Home button to go to recently used apps and Tetris wasn't there. So I went into my App list and... Tetris wasn't there.
I went into the Market, and it said it was never installed.
Either I hallucinated the half hour before a phone call interrupted my psychotic perceptions of tetriminos, or the phone deleted the app all on its own.
Really strange.

I too had the same problem. Just download again and they stick.

It just happened again. I was transferring some files to the internal memory to sdcard, and the screen didn't wake up. It seems the system is running behind the screen, but I can't see anything on the screen.

Had same issue after reboot. Had to re-install apps. I've haven't tried to reboot again. I did download MyBackup so went ahead and backed up my apps and data. The weird thing is, when my apps disappeared and I had to re-install them, they didn't need my usernames or pws to be re-entered. So it seems the data was still there.
UPDATE: Rebooted and it happened again.

Same issue here, lost about 8 apps after reboot

Happening to me as well, I just moved everything back from the card onto the phone

I was able to fix the apps disappearing by going into manage applications then the media area tab and making sure that no apps were checked. Any that were I moved back to the phone.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the Bionic, like the D3, is configured differently than other Android phones. The /sdcard partition is actually the internal storage... part of the 16GB the advertise as internal. The removable SDcard is /sdcard-ext. Not sure if that is a contributing factor. I've not seen that problem but I'll keep an eye out for it.

I'm coming from a og droid, so moving apps to the sd card is like second nature to me. I feel i just have to do it even though this phone has so much internal srorage in comparison. Is it possible that the problem is the sd card itself?

I didn't think about that, so when you move them is it going to the sd ext or the internal storage (sd). I did notice the sd and sd ext are different.

The same thing happens on reboot for me as well. I just go into titanium and restore each time which is a pain in the a$$.

Ah, the most beloved suggestion among customer services....

so unlike other android phones currently in the market, MOTO made the real sdcard (sdcard-ex) almost obsolete. It's only dedicated for media storage and sharing.

This is so utterly ridiculous. I had to put all of my apps BACK onto my phone. Why even offer the extra storage if we can't use it to store what we'd like. I don't keep that much media on my phone.

Anyone tried another sd card? I'm thinking about wiping the one from my old phone and putting it in this bionic.

I have a 32gb I pulled from Tbolt, and I formatted it. One thing odd though, Titanium only reports 29gb available instead of 31~32 after the format.

Gifs..

Why don't they play? And even though they don't play on my phone would it play if I sent it to someone?

I have a few on my phone from an old memory card. I didn't think they worked and delete a few of them (of course all the funny good ones) and I put them onto my desktop and they played fine. I assume they will play if sent to someone with the right phone that can play gifs, unlike the Revo.

I was just wondering because they worked fine on my incredible. And when I transfered my sd card they wouldn't play on the revo

Yeah the memory card I found was from an old LG Dare that my mom is using currently. I put it in my droid to install CM7 on it and I there was pictures so I put them on my Revo. The pictures were from like my freshman year of highschool... like 5 or 6 years ago.... So much old stuff. But anyways back on topic. They didn't work on the Revo. I never tried the Droid but I assume other phones would play them the Revo is just "funny".

.... The little things that bum me out about this phone lol

[Q] How to re-link my purchased APPs to ANDROID Market

I recently un-rooted my DROID BIONIC for when a replacement was necessary.
While rooted I had to re-run a STOCK Script/Utility to restore my connectivity issue with my BIONIC LAPDOCK ( ie I HAD no connectivity Webtop was blown away ).
That remedy restored WebTop capability to the LapDock, but now my ANDROID Market lists nothing when I select " My APPS " . If i search for them individually it acknowledges that I paid for them, but the list is <NULL> itself .
Do I have to re-root to re-link to the Market and if so, what do I run ?
Thanks in Advance !
I love my BIONIC ( even though I replaced 3 of them in 2 months ) When they work they work great !

Just download one of the paid apps, and download a free one. Your market should fix itself
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

This happened to me recently too and App Manager in the Rom Toolbox did the trick. It makes it possible to link to the market or break that link (root required).

Thanks for your input(s) .
ROM Toolbox Pro is one of my paid apps .Who knows, Its is likely that I severed the link(s) by my own hand ( and a heavy thumb ! ) by accident with that very tool . I will re-root and try that . I guess I have to manually search and download them individually before I can get the complete list back in MARKET . ( if I can remember ALL the APPS I paid for )
Thanks again !

There are a lot of threads all over the web about My Apps area being empty. It is across all phone platforms. It doesn't seem to strike too many and it seems to be a Google issue.
Good luck.

My market has been broken, even before I rooted, or changed from the stock ROM. Google said they were looking into it for the Bionic, as of now I have the latest market but it still failed to link. My theory is I update my apps before the market updates and after it has, that's when it brakes. Still no update from google on a fix. But with the new update from moto will try to let the market update first before downloading my paid apps maybe this time it won't break

This is actually what started it all for me. I used the Market Doctor accidentally and right after My Apps was empty. And it's only this account. I have four other Google accounts and the system apps show up just fine in those. It's only in my primary that I have an empty app page. I have tried the clear cache and force stop server method only to see my paid apps for a moment then it goes right back to nothing.

And I found myself a solution. While titanium backup wouldn't work to fix my issue it wild seem ROM toolbox has. Just install it (you have to buy it as the free version wont allow you to use the market fix) and select all apps in the market fixer. Run market fix and restart your phone. It may or may not work for you but its worth a shot. Good luck.

I switched to Eclipse v1.2RC1 from 1.1.1 and My Apps came back on its own.
I reinstalled and relinked with ROM Toolbox and made a Titanium ZIP file for good measure. Hopefully future "stable" releases will still have that functionality as I am liking the Eclipse "flavored" series very much
Even though technology will leapfrog I hope my BIONIC will serve me 'til my Verizon 2 year commitment extinguishs.
With the killer ROM devs that appear here on XDA I don't think I need worry !

Missing apps are a google issue
I have two bionics, a nook color rooted with CM7 and a Logitech Revue. I have had each of these devices with various ROMS, and various versions of Market/vending.apk. The earlier version of vending.apk will show my apps, however as soon as the phone updates itself to the latest vending.apk, the apps dissappear, redownloading them does not help. Also I have two other accounts linked to my Bionic, they show "some" of the downloaded apps. There has been no rhyme or reason. The other thing to not is when you try to search for my apps on earlier builds of vending.apk, it gives a server error, like if the servers have been changed since those versions.

What irritates me is that my kindle fire shows the apps on my account just fine. Just not on my bionic. By the way us everybody else running 3.4.4?

Could it be that those apps are not compatible with the bionic and won't show up in the list?

Not a single one of them shows up. Not even system apps. When I freeze the google framework they show up for a minute or two then are gone again. I had it working for a little while then bricked and had to redo everything. Unfortunately I lost it all.

Try clearing market data, then switch to a different account if you have one. Wait a few minutes then switch back.

I've had this problem since I bought the bionic in October. Never worked, ever. Tablet works OK. Even stopped working on my other phones. Went to google support and discovered it was a market bug, but no resolution. Two weeks ago...I factory reset my bionic for some reason and it worked. Just to confirm, did it again the next day. It worked again. And to be sure, I did it again before writing this.....so it suddenly started working after a factory reset...
Who knows....

So I haven't quit looking into what actually causes the market "My Apps" issue. While I do feel it truly is the database I have a slightly more detailed theory as to why it does it. However in order to test this theory I need to take a general poll.
How many of you discovered this issue after using some sort of Root tool (ie: Rom Toolbox, Root Tools, Titanium Backup)?
How many of you have accidentally or on purpose used the Market Fix that supplement these programs?
The reason I'm asking is semi obvious I suppose. While these programs can do great good it would appear that if not done correctly they can also do bad. Last night I decided to play with it a bit more and I Linked ALL system apps and user apps to the market. After a few minutes or a reboot I would get the error again.So I went ahead and broke all links again, deleted the .dbs file and started all over again. This time only doing system apps and user apps that I knew were updatable. This lead to the market functioning much better. However I'm not finished yet. I want to figure out what apps and programs trigger this. At this point in time most User apps are okay but I have found I have linked considerably less system apps to the market. What I would like to ideally do is narrow the list down to just a few apps that shouldn't be linked.
Also if anybody would be so kind as to copy and share their database file that would help tremendously. This file needs to be completely stock having NEVER used any of these programs to edit the market links. Sharing this could potentially help all Android users having this extremely annoying issue. If you would like to keep the amount of users who this down to just me you can PM me or even send it to me over Skype or some other messenger with a file share tool. Thank you all in advance.
For those of you currently having the issue I have posted a fix here: http://rootzwiki.com...market-my-apps/
