Asphalt 5 is not showing up for me in the Samsung market? I was under the impression that you would be able to download the full game for free?
But when reading the "instructions" it says that it may vary depending on operator, meh!
Would it be possible for someone to share the .apk?

I had not heard that, but if it is indeed the case I would like to get my hands on it as well.
Yes, I noticed the same thing. I'd be interested to know whether anyone in the UK actually has Asphalt 5 in their Samsung Apps and if so which operator they are using. FWIW, I'm using Talkmobile (which shows 2 apps in Samsung Apps) and I also tried my Virgin SIM (which only showed 1 app).
Of course if I actually wanted the game it's only £3 from Gameloft, but I'm not convinced that I want it that much.
Its not displayed as HD like their Tab games are on the website so theyre probably updating it.

its not on three uk or tmobile uk either!!
Apshalt 5 HD is on the android market... Doesn't work properly on my tab tho (the free version anyway)
The one in the market isn't for the Tab, you need the one from gameloft.com site!
My tab from CPW had both Asphalt 5 and N.O.V.A pre-loaded, but in my haste I forgot to back them up before upgrading to the JK5 firmware via Odin. I now don't have them so I'm a little annoyed at myself!
Do you think If I email Gameloft my serial number etc that they will send me the .apk's as the product I purchased came with them or am I out of luck?

There is no gameloft application in my samsung market? It's not available in the Samsung games either and the one on the android market is not made for the tab!
I mean, it' not a huge deal for me, it would just be nice to have and they did say it would be free!
Why is it that EVERYONE has got different apps on their tab? Very annoying
Gameloft are currently making Asphalt 6 which will work on the iPad, so thatll be pprted over for us over time
I wouldn't really use the term "currently". They haven't even started development on it yet, although it is planned.
Asphalt 5 HD should be available on the gameloft site for us.
If anyone got it with their tab, care to post the apk??
I would/did use 'curently' as theyve made 2 video demos/trailers of it.

I just downloaded it from their site and it works fine, well the trial version does anyway. Quite an amusing game.

Ohhh, not for Android. I meant it was being made for the iOS (eurgh) then hopefully/probably to Android after its released.

Asphalt 5 stopped working for me yesterday, sadly. The demo was working perfectly, but now only shows a button to get the full version instead of the option to play the demo. I have no interest in the full version, but the demo was quite neat.
It was added to my samsung apps today, nice

I can't get the Amazon Appstore app to install. It gives me the message "Do you want to install this application? It will get access to:" then a list of areas and boxes for cancel or install. When I click install nothing happens. The cancel box works. (I did check the unknown sources in settings)
If it is being blocked by Google, that would suck.
I'm pretty shure its being blocked by Google.

If it's being blocked I might return my Nexus 7. It would suck that they would only let you buy apps from them.

Not true it's working for me. Go to Amazon& request a new link to be sent to your email.

Thats strange, i was able to do it on my N7. Maybe a reboot of some sort?
Works fine here. Go into Setting>Security and check Allow unknown sources. Go to Amazon web site and follow instructions to download and install. Did that to download an older version of a zombie killing game that works on N7.
Works fine for me. I use it every day to get the free "cr"app of the day.
Try rebooting it then re-installing.
If you're installing it from a previous backup from another device, it most likely won't work (not assuming you are, but just in case...) Like the others said, go to Amazon and get it directly and you should have no problem.
What worked for me was clicking the link for tablets. It says something like "no email or phone number, click here" and that downloaded the APK directly into my system download folder. From there it installed just fine. I had to do this to get it on my Google TV also. It seems to bypass some sort of test since the Google TV isn't officially compatible with it.
I just worked with an Amazon tech, got it to install using by going to this like in the browser on the N7.
http://www.amazon.com/app-email
Works fine now.
Mine installed fine. I used the APK from my phone. Got a bunch of the nicer FAOTD apps working perfectly too.

I find it incredible that everyone is giving Amazon a free pass for contributing to the Android Malware myth.
The fact you have to enable side loading on an Android phone to allow Amazon, means any other malware could also slip in. Using Amazon app store is a REALLY bad idea (plus the fact it's a barren wasteland compared to Google Play, and most of the apps are really out of date versions).
Surely the lure of free versions of old apps is not that strong that you want to open your phone up to allsorts of Android malware nasties?

Bugger the Apps they get games too. Of course only if you're from a certain country.
Majority of the free apps are a joke.
I usually check it every day and realize they're all trash (except maybe 2 apps so far) and then I uninstall it. For some reason I get struck with the idiotic idea that I may be missing out on some good free apps, so I stupidly install it again in hopes of some decent apps...... it never happens

That's what most people think. Once you discover what Amazon are offering for free is basically stuff that deserves to be free anyway, make sure you re-tick the Android security setting and revert back to the proper Android store that Google host.

When it first came out, it was great. Now, the free app is usually a very crappy game. In the past, I got:
Fancy Widgets Pro, Weatherbug Elite, Thumb Keyboard, App 2 SD Pro, Moon Phase Pro, Quickoffice Pro, SoundHound Infinity, Shazam, SwiftKey 3, and several other good ones.

1. I've never once gotten malware and I always sideload apps. I always leave that setting unticked as do most folks I'm sure.
2. having Amazon app store or any other app store doesn't change your default android Google play store.
You want malware, go download Blackmarket apps or pirate stuff, you'll get it then. I do suggest tho, that everyone should install a malware scanner. Avast, lookout, etc.

What? Side loading doesn't put you at any greater risk of malware. You always choose to install an app, whether you side loaded it or not.
Nothing wrong or risky with downloading the Amazon app store, being able to choose a different app store is one of the best things about android. CHOICE.

Just a little aggravated with the tablet. Excellent screen but new games like KOTOR and Witcher battle arena are not compatible with it. What gives?

I just tried witcher battle arena and it installed and crashed at start. I think its just some ironing out they need to do. If it says It isnt compatable. Im not sure what it is. Just contact the developer and give them a log if you're rooted or just report it.
Kotor says its $5.80 Here. Does not say its not compatible. Not too sure.
Another thing you could try if you're rooted is switch to a lower resolution. Maybe it doesn't support the full resolution
the thing is, I'm currently running stock rooted. Just irks me that my Note 3 picks up everything, but my TF701 doesn't. You'd think almost everything could run blazing on a tegra 4. And I know how to sideload. I just feel irritated that I have to considering Tegrazone advertises these titles.

Ya I know what you mean. The real problem is developers have to support thousands of devices now, all with different versions and configurations.
I just tested witchers battle arena on the nexus 7 with lp just to see and that is a no go either. Doesn't matter to me anymore anyway. A game has to be pretty good for me to even look. For gaming if anything I just use steam Linux.
When the Google Play Store says an app is "not compatible" with your device, it doesn't necessarily mean your device is incapable of running it. I think it is more likely that our TF701T is not on a whitelist of devices tested and approved by the developer. The fact that the TF701T did not sell well, and hence is less likely to be used to test an app by developers, is going to be a problem for games. Also, some apps are region restricted; I remember I couldn't install any paid apps from Mainland China, even though I could install the same apps while in Hong Kong.
Nonetheless, I think sideloading a game is no big deal. I installed KOTOR on my TF701T and it works great (though I'd still prefer a controller or mouse and keyboard).
Don't know if this will help. But what I've done sometimes, is see if I can download the game for my phone. And even pay for it if needed. Then, using an APK extractor app, I get the apk as a file. Connecting to my computer, I can shift the apk to my tablet, maybe through Dropbox. Then, I install the game to my TF701T.
This doesn't always work, naturally. And it depends on whether your phone is on the whitelist for the game. But at least, this is a workaround.
Good Luck.

It's called "Apk Extractor", version 3.0 by Meher Prasad.
I am pretty sure any root explore will allow you to copy the apk from /data/app/*yourappnamehere* to your sd card and then do what ever you want with it...
My former employees gave me a galaxy vr as a going away gift on my last day. So far, I'd say this is the most fun accessory that I've gotten for my note 5. Even the free content is fantastic. I've installed package disabler to be able to run cardboard apps, but I want to know if anyone has found any fun items for this device.
there are plenty
Jurassic World, Social Alpha, Netflix to name a few. Did you just say you figured out a way to run cardboard apps on it? Please do tell!

max temp so far (on note 5) is about 106 degrees after 4 hours, thats not hot at all
I haven't ran into any overheating issues. Gets a little warm but that's it

I used Package Disabler Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
I don't have root access and it works for me to disable Gear VR Service. I don't have the VR yet, so I can't test the rest.
Good luck.
I think there is a free version of the app too.
I had one of these for my note 4 and found it to kill the battery and make the phone so hot that it often shut down after 30 mins due to heat. Tried it on my note 5 but same issues. However it was more of a problem as no SD card slot, so found the games large enough to fill up my device quickly. Note 4 was a quick swap of the memory card.
The image wasn't clear either - as mentioned above each eye separately seemed ok but blurred a little together. It feels like the lens need an adjustment to suit width of eyes also.
I found the VR interesting but gimmicky. It seems like an afterthought. But as its early days I'd have expected the consumer edition to be improved over the innovator edition...but its just not. However it is half the price!
Next version will hopefully further improve this. I can totally see a market more these but as an early adopter I soon became bored with it (and had a few headaches too as a result of the blurring!).
Don't forget to install Herobound: First Steps (free). You'll really need a controller to get the most out of it, but its the first game I played that really felt immersive.
What controller do you guys recommend?

I had read an article 2 days ago on an app that allows you to use cardboard apps almost natively on the Gear VR, also fixing the jitter issue and improving latency. So I bookmarked the link and came back today to get the app, poof.. it had disappeared!

The description says there might be an issue with rooted phones, if you're rooted can you confirm that it works?
I tried the CB Enabler from first post, but it seems that it requires Knox to turn-on? Because when I tried to obtan admin rights, KLMS agent pops-up. Is this behaviour normal?

This is not working, after installing I let it gain admin rights but it keeps doing something forever. Then if I mount it on the GearVR it loads Oculus launcher.
I'm having the same problem - it hangs forever on"enabling admin"...
