You mean you cannot download PvZ2 from Play Store?
Go here for PvZ2(RoW): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...a.game.pvz2_row
Go here for EA Swiss Sarl account: https://play.google.com/store/apps/develope...d=EA+Swiss+Sarl

Click the install, and it should let you choose the device to install, if you see "not eligible to install in your country" then your account is already US based, you need go here, if you see Play Store error then your account is not US based.
*
As I tried with the RoW link, it showed me the country problem. But, when I clicked on the Sarl link, it showed that I've got PvZ2 installed, in which I haven't? Haha. Play Store can be lots more complicated than Apple App Store, I guess? Haha.

When you see "Installed", it doesn't mean that your device already has the app installed, it means that you have already purchased/installed the app before so it is tied or registered to your google account.

Yikes. Then. How ah?

japan? really? jeez. the cover itself is gonna cost more than the tablet la like that, haha. let me know where if you got one, because i'll be there next month as well, haha. akihabara, maybe? biggrin.gif

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Mar 10 2014, 09:19 PM)
There is only 2 posibilities, either you can install RoW version of EA app or NA version of EA app, if both also not available to install, then you might need to email support and let them know your issue, or a more simpler way, open a new google account.

you've been so helpful all along with my super noob enquiries, it would make me feel bad if i'm to give up now... so, i think i'm gonna be creating a new Google account, haha! sweat.gif

You actually don't need those app. The RAM management in Android is good enough.
If you feel lag/ or lag during opening app slow, then your RAM usage is high.
So far, I have not encounter any lag. Granted, I'm on custom rom and kernel.

true that, but at the moment, i'm not customizing anything, yet. still very much on the default launcher. by the way, on iPhone, there is this Assistive Touch. any such function for Android? i couldn't seem to find anything on this in the Settings, though...

No such features tho on stock AOSP. Can try googl-ing other 3rd party apps.

yup, i've gotten a few apps for this in Play Store, but reading a few not so pleasant reviews about them. so, i'm holding my horses on it, aha. literally, i'm picking up something new on this tab everyday.

BTW, anyone got any thing from this guy here before? https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2407663&st=

whatever technical specs you guys are talking about, aha, i'm happy enough with what i have here now. the least, i'm able to do the things i wanted to do, no complains. but still, i don't like the on/off lock button at the side, and no "assistive touch" feature, hehe. sweat.gif

well, i've got Clean Master, Battery Doctor and ES File Explorer, which i think are pretty useful. thanks to the guys here suggesting the... biggrin.gif
then, i've got Flipboard, Pocket, Google Drive and Adobe Reader for reading purpose, Skyscanner, Couch Surfing and AirBnB for travelling, including XE Currency, which is a must, i think? and not forgetting TripAdvisor and Foursquare, which are pretty useful to scout for nearby attraction!

something i noticed recently, which i'm not sure if it's my network issue. my nexus tend to disconnect itself from my wifi and then reconnect again. it will do this intermittently, as and when it wishes... my iphone connected to the same network, no issue. i ping to google from my pc, it doesn't show my pc disconnected from the network, either. anyone experiencing such issue?

I had this issue when I have 2 known WiFi nearby and the tablet tends to disconnect from its current connected WiFi and connect to the other known nearby WiFi, end up flashing custom rom and the problem is gone.
I love the new MIUI 5  thumbup.gif

so, the wifi disconnection is a known issue, apparently... hmm.

Have you tried to sync your contact to iCloud and then upload the downloaded .vcf from iCloud to Gmail? Sorry my phone isn't with me now so cannot test for you.
*
I'm going to try to sync in that way after I've updated my phone contacts in iCloud. But previously, with the older version of iTunes, we can sync the contacts automatically without much complications. Anyway, will try on iCloud, and .vcf and the upload to Gmail manually.

BTW. Any app in Play Store that enables the download of YouTube videos? I did use one on my PC, but any recommended one for Android?

just did an upgrade to 4.4.3 without any issues, but then, what is/are the changes of this new one over the previous version 4.4.2 Kit Kat? then, on the front page here, there is 4.4.4 available already? YIKES...

Official factory image is not available for LTE model but Google just released L preview source code in AOSP so custom rom based on it might get released in the future.
LTE model getsĀ  stuck at 4.4.3 currently but 4.4.4 is just minor security update tho.

QUOTE(tongaz86 @ Jul 2 2014, 09:14 AM)
4.4.3 is more like a security update... but then got major security problem something and google patch it with 4.4.4
*
haha, literally, it means no point upgrading to 4.4.3 since 4.4.4 is to patch a hole or a few holes found in 4.4.3! sweat.gif
anyway, i've been using Nexus 7 for almost many months now, almost half a year, i think. and it's serving me too well, i guess; mail, facebook, surfing, reading... not much of a gamer on tab, though. good call to buy this, i guess, hehe. brows.gif
oh, and i got this suede like casing with magnet from my previous trip in japan, less than a hundread, but it's good. i still don't understand why there is no such casing in Malaysia, though...

i'm not too sure if it happens to you guys before, but i noticed that on certain games like Crazy Taxi, after i exit the game, the tab interface will turn slower and lag a lot. reboot it, and all is well again. any way to over come this? unsure.gif

Have you tried to swipe it away in app switcher? Sometimes the app will just cache at background even you exited the app and consumes your tablet resources.

i did "end task" the app and cleared the memory with Clean Master, but still the same problem... i wonder. unsure.gif
