I just got my Optimus Slider today. I've done quite a bit to it (like the Go Launcher etc) and I'm loving it. Hardware wise, I can't complain when compared to my old HTC EVO 4G. The EVO is better on paper, but I always got a ton of lag because of the stupid Sense UI.
ANYwho, while I'm extremely happy with the phone, I'm noticing some odd compatibility issues with certain programs.
Jet Car Stunts does NOT want to play for instance. It simply crashes as soon as you hit the app's icon. If I keep trying to load it several times in a row, I might get a "force quit" error message, but that's it.
Asphalt 5 does not work, but at least comes up with a pop up that says the game doesn't support the hardware.
Oddly, this isn't a 3D graphics issue as many other graphically intense games boot up fine and play just as well as on my EVO if not better. These games inlcude ExZeus, Raging Thunder, etc. Even Angry Birds Rio, a game that gave my rooted Color Nook nightmares, works just fine on this phone.
I've contacted the developer of Jet Car Stunts for assistance. I've gotten one email back that says they're looking into it and that they're not even aware of the phone's existence (yay
). I guess I'm just curious. Is this a hardware issue or simply code not written for this particular phone? I'd think that a bloatware free 800 MHZ phone would be able to do pretty much everything on the market save for the Tegra 2 software, so what's the issue here? I mean heck, my old iPhone 3G could play Jet Car Stunts without even trying.
Thanks everyone.
