Angry Birds beta for Android - XPERIA X10 General

I read a couple of days back that the wildly popular game on iOS - Angry Birds has been released for android...however I'm not able to find the application on the market.
Could it be an android 1.6 limitation or a region restriction?
Also if someone has the .apk file for it...could you please upload it...i would be really grateful to you! Thanks !

you have a PM

I was just a little late also. I guess they pulled it pretty quick. I signed up for their distribution emails, so hopefully they will open it back up and let me in!

There is an other thread with an mediafire link where you can download the demo

you can either keep launching it until it eventually works, or if you have a task killer kill all running apps then launch the game and it will boot instantly.

Yea, I have the same problem too but it seems to die of after a couple of days of playing the game lol. It force closes once in a while but it starts again if I relaunch it. You should report for bugs too cuz this is only the beta version

If you tap the screen while it's loading, the game loads up just fine.
It also runs incredibly smoothly, and for the moment, has better graphics than the iPhone version.
And look at that, it's not a 1.6 problem. Yay.

How come I can't find this game in the marketplace?

Never have any problem with angry bird on X10.
It just ran and start when every time i launched it.
However, I do have FC problem on my HTC Hero Froyo, and I have to continue tapping the screen to get the game work.

It's on the market for me...i just downloaded it then.
EDIT: after opening it, it's a different app.

Install Error...
Hi Team,
I downloaded the APK file thru Mediafile listing.
I am having problems installing this.
First, I downloaded the APK, uploaded to the phone via Bluetooth, then used Astro to browse to the APK file, and launched the application installer,
As with any application installer, it warns what specific android functions this app is going to access, I moved forward,keep clicking on install..and it keeps bringing me back to the same page, telling me about what specific android functions this app is going to access, I keep clicking on install, is not doing it!
Why?
My phone is rooted with a R2BA026 firmware & allowed unsigned installations (thru applications settings)
Any help?
Also, its confirmed to work on 1.6 as per: http://androidandme.com/2010/09/game...ndroid-market/
Also, wanted to know: I googled the mediashare file link, the official file name is: com.rovio.angrybirds_lite.apk (11.41M)
Now, what am I doing wrong?

There's no reason for an App not to work on Android 1.6 anyway, the Android SDK makes it really easy for a developer to develop a single apk for basically all versions of the OS starting from 1.6 by just setting one line in a XML file. (1.5 is different since it has too much limitations)
The only reason for an app to skip 1.6 would be OpenGL ES 2.0 (most app only use OGL ES 1.1 or use a fallback renderer) or the absolute need of multitouch (applications generally catch the error and fallback to singletouch events in that case tough.)
Really applications that don't work on Android 1.6 are badly written (*cough* Twitter) and even those using NDK shouldn't need android 2.x. (*cough* Mozilla)

I don't know, do not use Timescape... I only autoupdate from the facebook app. Maybe you have to set the one inside settings to auto update.
Hm, well still not working. Search around and alot of ppl got the same problem :-(

I give up with the FB app notifications it still isn't fixed on the new version that has just come out.
I just set it to e-mail my phone with the notification. Get it pretty quickly from there.
Also on a side not - if anyone has updated to version 1.3.0 can you get your phone to go to sleep properly???
Also can a mod please move this to the apps section.

Why are you asking that? It seems to me battery drains since I updated facebook, but I do not know how see if my phone is sleeping properly. I installed more apps when i get the update and i cannot be sure it is because or facebook or another one.
Did you noticed that as well?
For me it is definately the FB app that is doing it. I can see it in the app "spare parts".
It was fine before I upddated it to this version now my phone won't sleep.

I have this problem as well after updating. The battery drains too fast. I just uninstalled the update and then it's back to the previous version that's preinstalled on the phone.
Done the same here :-( hope they fix the problems asap!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The same. Just revert to the preinstalled and everything is ok.
Was wondering why my battery was draining fast today. Thanks for the info. I'll remove this terrible update now.

It's probably not so much an X10 problem as it is an application problem.
As for me, there's no preinstalled FB app, so, I'll just work with this one.

Ooh, really? Sweet, thanks!
Gotta say, I like the new version, but the battery thing kinda sucks. Old one, here I come!
I have no issues with the phone not sleeping, I only check the app a couple of times each day, no auto update just manual, and I kill it after use.
I like my phone to run lean lol
Well at my x10 it kill my battery, but my girlfriend got x10 mini pro, and that work ok. Use a bit more then 1.2 but not so much.
But on my x10 its a batterykiller :-(
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I do not use task killer/manager so i cannot do that. My phone works better since i don't use them. And I check facebook many many times a day, so manually kill the app is not a solution for me.
Anyway it does't work in landscape mode, at least initially... so
This update is a crap for me.

erm guys?...

Ive just noticed that when i go into my apps in the new market after upgrading my phone to JPX it is only showing me 2 paid apps and none of the free ones that i have downloaded... which is a lot...
Is there a way of getting these back and also what happens when there is updates available? will i be notified of these or not?
I find a specific app in the markdet that i have installed it shows as installed, its just when i go into the my apps part.
Thanks for any help given.
go to settings, applications, manage applications, select the market app, clear data, clear cache.
Now it wont even open my apparently =\.

The server error thing has nothing to do with the firmware, it's an issue with the market server. Started to happen last night.
So is everyone else having this problem? Tried everything recommended but its still the same

some apps will not install on my Nexus S

Hi I've had my Nexus S for a week now and by and large am very happy with it.
Recently I noticed that some apps from the market will not install after downloading, for example, the Pubtran London app.
the app always shows it's being currently downloaded, and when I check the About tab, it says that 100% has been downloaded, but it will not launch into install.
There are quite few apps which I tried to install but also had this problem. I would be grateful if anyone has experience the same issue and has advice to resolve this problem. thanks!
Not all apps are compatible with Gingerbread.
PS Ignore the fact that I thanked you. I clicked the wrong button
hi thank you.
seems then have to wait to the apps to be updated.
even the xda app does not work on nexus S!
I have just found a work-around for this problem.
everytime an app would not install, I just go into manage apps and clear the Market cache. Once the cache is cleared, app can be installed with no problem.

I'm having this problem too.
I don't think it's compatibility issues, clearing cache and force stopping the Market sometimes works, but it seems the next time I use the Market, one of my apps wont update until I do this again.
Any ideas?

The problem isn't unique to the Nexus S for me. My SGS i9000 (DocRamboned) has similar issue, especially with updates...lots fo them stall on the download, or download and fail on the install.
Perhaps there's some issue on the mothership's side of the market.

Odd Facebook Issue

So I was able to get DL17 working last night. Now I'm having an odd issue with FB. I'm attempting to update the factory FB, which is apparently around version 1.2. I attempted to update to the latest version (1.6.1) and it keeps crashing while loading. Everything downloads fine and says it successfully installs, but it keeps crashing.
What am I doing wrong?

The facebook official app really sucks, badly, each update keeps getting worse. i would recommend use friendscaster
yeah, you aren't doing anything wrong. it's 99% likely to be the app

if you have root i would suggest using titanium backup to delete your facebook and then update thru the market, my wife was having this issue
I have Friendcaster on my droid... I'm not completely sold on it, either. Although, the paid version might be better than the free one.
I was able to send her the apk for 1.6.0 (the latest is 1.6.1) and THAT apparently updated just fine. If she has any issues updating from now on, I may point her to Friendcaster.
I just use the mobile site

I did that on my old Blackberry, as the FB app for it bit. But, I like the options some of the apps vs. the mobile site. The problem I'm finding between the 3 is inconsistencies of what you can do. I know I used one to tag friends. I know the regular FB app, you can't add check-in places (you can with mobile site or Friendcaster). Seems odd that the 3 would be different.
Touch.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook.com in my opinion

I thought you were supposed to be able to, but I never saw the + to add one. It really wasn't a HUGE issue, but I was trying to add one for my house and my in-laws house. Had to use Friendcaster to do that.
Just start typing the name of the place you want to add and when Facebook can't find it, it will say "add [check in place]"

hbo not compatible

Hello all, Hoping for some help here.
more and more I've noticed that the HBOgo App is giving me errors with can't view video at this time, so I checked if there was an update. I found out there was an update and I updated the app. Now it shows that its not compatible with my device and shuts down. Any ideas on what I can do to get around it?
thanks in advanced for any help?
It would help if you gave some information about what ROM you are running. The app doesn't work with ICS yet so if you are using CM9 you will have to wait for HBO to make that update.

I have 7.2RC1 and market found it (v1.4), downloaded it and it runs (but I am not a subscriber so I can't view anything). And I am using an old version of market since I hate play store. If you PM me with your email address, I will send you the apk.
