Photon Unfriendly Apps

[oskar1995]

I've seen a few apps that run into problems on the Photon. I was hoping to start a thread that details app specific issues in addition to those that seem to hog the Photons battery.

Chuzzle (Amazon) - The screen resolution does not adjust for the Photon and thus can only be displayed on 1/2 the screen (no known fix)

Glow Chain Reaction (Android) - Same as Chuzzle - Only half the screen being used

Swiftkey - I believe there is a resolution issue and the keyboard picks up different keystrokes than what the user thinks they are doing. At times, appears laggy and cant handle a "rapid" input. Lastly, at times the auto correct and prediction will stop working.

Same here, SwiftKey X is fine.

Some of the gameloft games like Real Soccer have had some issues. The touchscreen isn't all that responsive.

Swiftkey works great on mine. I am using the amazon appstore version.

Quick settings would not install for me.

I had issues with swiftkey making odd "corrections", but I think that was a feature. As far as I could tell it worked fine.

I downloaded Gameloft's: Asphalt 6 and plays like a dream...

Thanks for the feeback guys. Did a hard reset last night on my phone. Figured it made sense after I ran into some connection and battery issues. Swiftkey seems "better" but the layout feels a little different from the OG Evo that seems to be throwing me off. I'm sure I'll snap back into the swing of things with the new phone.

I downloaded "They Need To Be Fed" and it doesn't work, it is stuck on the home screen and won't respond to any touch. I uninstalled/reinstalled and rebooted, none of it helped. Anyone else have this game working?

Stay away from advanced task killer, the Photon has a better built in one that ATK will cause major confliction with.

I have this exact issue but only when phone is docked.

Guys, I have had some frustration with SwiftKeyX, and I know it relates to the increased resolution of the screen. On the EVO keys were larger and it was much more easier to type in a portrait mode. But after awhile I got used to it, so i no longer think its a problem mine was never laggy, not sure what can cause this on other MoPho's
