Downloaded and paid for Tetris....:(

ajblbv · 06-09-2006, 04:00 PM

So I was thinking games would be just like other carriers, download and play anytime. I even paid for the whole version, not subscription. But now I findout I cannot play unless I am getting signal, W T H

I am going to call and ask for a credit for this, in no way should that be, I do not get constant signal in my house or in many buildings. Are all the games liek this? Hope I have the right forum, thanks.

maybe it uses vision for some of the game play

Madisn · 06-09-2006, 04:09 PM

It would seem that it is checking if you have a license for the game.... That sounds more like a subscription to me, but I don't have any games on my phone so it's really all a guess on my part anyway

i have tetris and it plays fine without a signal on my 8200 and my 7400.

you dont have to have a signal to play games unless its run through vision. and tetris isn't one of them.

I can verify that on my 920 it tells me i need signal and it is Tetris, and I did not buy the subscription one.

You can do the same with Samsungs.

^ yup... highlight the game... go to settings... and disable access to the net.

this works for most.. but not all game lobby-enabled games.

or you could get fancy and extract the game and remove the game lobby url from the .JAD.

all this is because of the highscore list. on my a900 i can disable net acess on games.

IMO you'd be better off going to a shady cell phone site and downloading the full version of tetris and uploading it to your phone for free anyway.

I rermember a time not too long ago when the games on cell phones were all free.

Try looking over at **********...
