The AP gift button on my friend is missing, how can I gift them?

[dusk parcel]

They probably have a pass or you don't have a pass but has a gift pass

[cold knot]

How about daily?

Im play with him just Saturday and sunday

[meager saffron]

Who knows how to shoot the screen, but that would not be visible buttons?

[languid glade]

That's only available for iOS devices

[lost coral]

If you mean screenshot, tap the bottom right of your screen and there should be a 📷 and a 🎥 icon. Tap the 📷 to screenshot the screen (the buttons will be invisible) and the 🎥 to record a video of your screen (Android will use Google play games screen recorder so the button will visible)

I only see adreno 540 supporting 60fps now ... Is that new addition or am i blind?

[high berry]

Yall I've been getting the "server error" on my screen, I press retry for like 5 times to disappear whats that abt¿

[true sable]

Possible reasons
1.weak signal
2.as it says "server error" so just close app and wait for while like 10-15 mins to an hour
3.device cache full ... just close ... Then try force quit and open again

[high berry]

Ohhh ok thank you!!

[sonic stream]

Hi, can I ask what tablets you guys are using? I'm thinking of buying one, but want something that doesn't drop frames like my phone, a galaxy A51, which drops frames regularly, even on lowest gfx settings.

[languid glade]

I've tried some mid range tablets
Samsung galaxy tab s5e and S6 lite and experience on them was not great
Got my sister a iPad 8th gen in the end
And experience on it is great

Game stays at constant 60 fps for the most part

[strange minnow]

I bought a view 4 with android 10 and 3gb ram and still it says incompatible with sky, what can I do?

[fast hearth]

...how much did you pay for that phone

[true sable]

I say try ipad ... Like 2 gen old ... They run at 60fps

[strange minnow]

129€ on sale

[true sable]

What's a view 4?

[strange minnow]

wiko view 4

a phone

[true sable]

Oh its a device?

[strange minnow]

yes 😄

[fast hearth]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Wiko-View-4.460276.0.html

let's see here

[strange minnow]

it's that

yas

but i doesn't run sky for some reason

[true sable]

I think it kinda is under minimum specs? The cpu

[strange minnow]

can you guys recommend a good one for the same price which can run sky?

[fast hearth]

the RAM is ridiculously low for any device in 2020, but i think either the CPU or GPU would be the problem there

[fast hearth]

i'm only familiar with american markets, but try and get a used OnePlus 5 or higher

When we play songs on ios device while Playing sky our skykid gets a headphone . Why isn't such feature in android devices it feels unfair as if they have extra temporary cosmetic that we android users don't have. I wanna look cool too🥺

[upper sail]

The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky. You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! (iOS only, until it's implemented for android)

[strange minnow]

I don't know anything about android so I bought one that seemed ok

but it wasn't 😢

[true sable]

Sky only requires 1.5 gb so

[fast hearth]

yeah i know

either way i would steer clear of anything with less than like 6 for a phone

[true sable]

It's for future

[fast hearth]

precisely

[true sable]

But ppl now have even 4 year old mobiles

I would not settle for any under 6 too

But is mediatek A25 powerful enough to run sky?

My p60 is suffering

[strange minnow]

I literally don't know any of the specs 😂

[true sable]

I can say the cpu is weak

But can't complaint for 129

[strange minnow]

I'm switching from an iPhone se gen2 because I broke it :/

[true sable]

Oof ... Lemme guess sky ran perfectly in it

[strange minnow]

It does yea

Just the battery is meh

[true sable]

Bad idea playin sky with smol battery

[strange minnow]

I had a 6s before and that was bad tho 😂

[true sable]

Does your region have asus? Or nokia? Or motorola?

[strange minnow]

yea that's why I want an android

just for gaming

[true sable]

Or xaomi

[strange minnow]

and that's also why I don't want to spend too much 😢

should have xaomi

I live in Italy

[true sable]

These provide cheap and best phones

[fast hearth]

One plus best for gaming 🙄

[true sable]

No

[strange minnow]

I don't know much about phones D:

I just want to play sky 😂

[true sable]

@strange minnow check the pins in this channel ... And get enlightenment

[strange minnow]

while not spending too much

200€ max

[fast hearth]

I use realme phone with 4gb ram and sky runs smooth just 60fps isn't allowed

[strange minnow]

I will 🥰

thanks

[true sable]

That's more than enough

Try and choose the mobile with "Snapdragon" in it

And above the number 660

[true sable]

Only verrryyy few android is supported 60fps ... Like only the flagship chips from last 3 years ... I think 835-888

[strange minnow]

I don't need 60fps

it just needs to run it

[true sable]

i need it

I play my own acc on 2 devices

One support 60fps and vice versa

[strange minnow]

I am broke thoo

[true sable]

But it chews battery like nom nom nom

[true sable]

You didnt want 60fps ur safe

[jaunty kiln]

Can samsung galaxy a71 max graphics on this game?

[true sable]

200 is a good sweet spot ... Try if u can find poco x3

[true sable]

U mean 3 battery icons?

[jaunty kiln]

yes?

in the setting where you can max it out

[true sable]

Umm i dont think so

Only 2 battery

I'm not sure

730G isn't that powerful

[fair briar]

Use ASUS ROG 3 to have 3 button graphics on sky 😁

[true sable]

@fair briar bruh not everyone that rich and that phone is out of stock often

And we gonna get the next one is 4 months

So

[fair briar]

Haha yeah that's true 🤣

[true sable]

But it's cheap than most high end phones for that performance

[fair briar]

I think we all can agree we can afford a nokia

[true sable]

Sky at 60fps is mmph

[true sable]

Types this in nokia

But i have one prob with android screens ... The game isnt rendering in full resolution ... Even at highest settings for that particular device ... Despite it having a full hd+ resolution

Is this bcoz of the optimization for many devices is hard problem?

[cold knot]

Game has lot of bugs when will u update it??????

[fast hearth]

#bug-reports-android

[safe bramble]

I'm guessing I ask here instead

I was about to download the game it shown a message my phone was not "compatible with this version"

I have a Samsung Galaxy A10e. Would I need a different phone to handle the game?

[craggy garnet]

here are the minimum requirements #android-questions message

[safe bramble]

I'm not phone smart in that department 🤣👌 but I'll take your word for it

Hmm, I see! So if I were to get a new phone with these requirements. What kinds do you recommend as an example

[languid glade]

That depends on your budget and where you live

[safe bramble]

Um.. my budget is well. And I live in the United states

[digital finch]

Iphone allows you to get headphones on your sky kid when you play other music but apple always has their stuff overpriced so go for a samsung, I have a note 9, sometimes a tiny bit laggy and my settings need to be a bit lower but it runs the game smooth mostly :D id say go for a samsung (had both at least once as well as a Huawei but i dont recall the huawei being that good)

[kind kayak]

if you get a newer huawei, you wouldn't be able to download global sky, since they no longer have google services. also be aware of any phones that are 32 bit, those can't run the game either

[safe bramble]

Ah, got it! Thank you very much for the information

[digital finch]

[fast hearth]

if you're on a tight budget get a OnePlus 5 or higher

or something similar

[woven vessel]

Hi, Some of my friends can’t see the chats, how they can fix the problem?

[unique cloak]

I got a Google Play gift card for christmas, and redeemed it on my gaming Google account. It's in, the balance is there. It's even the account I have linked Sky to...but when I try to get the Season Pass, it wont let me pay with that account, only my personal one. How do I pick the right payment account?

[celest meteor]

It happens to me sometimes, so far the only thing that worked was closing the game and logging back in.

[safe bramble]

Just to get a quick opinion. Does this sound good enough for a phone to play Sky 🤣

[thorn onyx]

Check the pins for the minimum requirements

[midnight mauve]

Whenever i took a screenshot,why the quality of the pic is bad??

[thorn onyx]

Did you use the ingame screenshot?

[bold heron]

Check the graphics bar in settings

[midnight mauve]

Yes

[midnight mauve]

So whenever i took screenshots u need to increase the graphic first???

[bold heron]

You need to increase the graphics for it to become clearer yeah

[thorn onyx]

I think despite your current graphic settings the picture is always gonna be in high quality

But ig if you put it on higher it'll be more clearer

[midnight mauve]

But before on april 2020 i took screenshots its not bad even i put the graphic low

Maybe because of update?

[bold heron]

My screenshots always come low quality cause my phone isn't 60fps supported so that could be one reason

[midnight mauve]

Hmmm strange🤔

But ok thanks

[karmic mesa]

For those of you who want to try to play on PC... If you have a relatively high end Samsung device... You could always use Samsung DeX!

Hi

How can I complete the seek spirit

#seasons-events-chat message

[old breach]

Broke

[true trellis]

Damm, that's more than enough really, like really! Does it come with Adreno 630 and up, for GPU?

[karmic mesa]

The Snapdragon 855 has the adreno 640

[true trellis]

Ohhh, very nice GPU indeed 👍👍

[karmic mesa]

The Samsung DeX video up above is using the Adreno 650

I'm going to get one of those Samsung DeX stations and have it plugged directly into my TV with a controller...

[viscid grove]

I am not able to call the boat to go up and also i completed the Bearhug spirit but i didnt receive the emote

[craggy garnet]

this seems like a better question for #questions-and-help the only boat that will activate is the one to stadium (the others will activate after the questgiver gives you a new quest), and the bearhug emote is at the top your friendship tree. youll need an adventure pass to unlock the leveled up version.

[viscid grove]

yeah ok

But the first boat doesnt activate

[dusk vortex]

My phone overheat again when playing sky :(

[weary schooner]

My phone Heats a lil, when I play Sky too. I don't know if this is normal-- ='(

[digital finch]

I tried dex a while ago to play sky to screenshare on discord but its practically impossible to play it with my mouse bc i cant steer and fly at the same time no clue how youre playing with a controller, enlighten me

[old bison]

Guys, does your screen also gets turned suddenly and get stucked suddenly?

[trim breach]

Do you have tips for exynos phone to improve sky performance?

[karmic mesa]

Sky is compatible with controllers... I can use an OTG cable to plug a controller directly into the bottom of my phone... And then play sky that way or if it's wireless like the PS4 controller, then I can use that. I typically use the PS3 controller or my Razer Kishi.

[digital finch]

thank you! Ill try that out

because I have an otg cable as well :D

[karmic mesa]

For starters "Exynos" indicates that you're on Samsung, which means that your phone would be compatible with "game plugins". You can find it on the Galaxy store. Once you have installed game plugins, open it and get the game booster plus module... You'll need to turn that on and you can modify things like the internal resolution and maximum frame rate.
Second thing, this one is kind of universal between all phones. Try to make sure that nothing is running in the background, the most sure method I have of doing so is turning on "do not keep activities" and setting "background processes" to none in the developers options. this gives a massive and noticeable boost to performance. Of course, you will want to set these settings back to normal when you're done playing sky.

[trim breach]

Thank You!

[karmic mesa]

You're welcome!

[trim breach]

I'll try it now.

[karmic mesa]

[trim breach]

It worked. Thanks!

If you're wondering about the gondolas, only the ones that lead up to the coliseum entrance are operational right now. The others will become available as part of future quests later in the season

[thorn onyx]

#seasons-events-chat message

[fringe patrol]

Oh so the videos I've seen of people using it have paid for the season?

[thorn onyx]

It's beta

In live rn even if you paid for an AP only 1 is working for everyone

[vernal compass]

Beta gets access to seasonal stuff sooner than live for testing purposes, they already have all of the quests done there, but in live it's only one quest per week

[fringe patrol]

Oh snap. Well thank you for clearing that up for me!

[astral apex]

I have one quick question-
Is there a problem with the STAR pin button? Becuase it doesn't allow me to scan the pin.

Uhh no not really

It says ready to scan

But I cant find the scanner/cant see it? Idk im confused

@kindred bobcat bruh you know downloading APKs is against the Terms of Service, right? It could cause a lot of performance, account and malware issues for you. Trying to use APKs will result in download problems and may result in account data loss and inability to contact TGC support. APKs cannot be used to bypass the device incompatibility and do not help TGC with beta testing at all. Please don't use them or discuss them here.

Sorry it's in portuguese, but, translation: "error at connecting ({1})"

And i don't in ow what to do! I honestly do want to connect on my Google account to make it easier to log in too... :(

[tame comet]

#android-questions message reset play store and play services data. Also be sure to have Google play games installed. You can search for it in the play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.play.games for easy checking if you have that installed. Most Google features in games require that to be installed.

Alright then! I will try! Thank you!!

[drifting moon]

Hi I'm not usually active here so I hope this is the right channel to talk in, I don't want to file a bug report yet till I know for sure but when I'm collecting season candles I can light them and collect wax but I'm not earning any more candles. I completed the missions for today for seasonal candles but I don't know if that contributes to the 5/6 candle per day thing (I have a season pass so I can earn up to 6 I think). I just wanted to clarify that I think I've earned maybe 4 candles. Does it stop strictly at 6 candles per day? Thanks

I have an android so I thought maybe I should ask here? I'm sorry if this is the wrong spot

[thorn onyx]

Yes with the pass you can get a total of seasonal candles daily

For ingame currency problems such as yours please contact support

If you're sure the 4 candle wax bunches that give 1 whole seasonal candle doesn't give a full seasonal candle

[drifting moon]

Yeah I know that 4 bunches gives 1 candle, it's that no matter how much I collect I don't earn another candle. I was just wondering if the set amount per day was strictly 6, thank you for answering!

[thorn onyx]

Yes it's 6

And do contact support for that kind of thing

They may be able to help

[drifting moon]

Thank you sm!

[tame comet]

Yes, with AP (1), quests (4), and realm candles (1), you get 6 total seasonal candles a day. Without AP, you get 5 as you don't get the gift one in home return shrine.

would you mind fixing the valley problem that, if i am holding my friend's hand and they are leading, in the flying race, my hand will always cut off, broke the server, and when i slide to the end, no candles are rewarded. this have happened at least 10 times already PLEASE FIX THIS

i cannot speak in the #report-a-live-bug what can i do lol

[atomic beacon]

You can get candles from the flying and the slinding race only once in a day. Also, server issues may be due to your internet. Check your internet and maybe switch to data. If the problem still persists, it may be server problems with the game

The spirits are bugged right now where #known-issues had stated the problem.

You can try using your checkpoint, restart your game, or go with other friends to prevent server merge; as it's been heard that's whats been causing the spirit to bug out. You can also try this method:

Nah, that error usually happens if the app wasn't linked to the play store. I suggest backing up your data and follow the uninstall/reinstall and clearing of Google Play data and cache in this message: #android-questions message

Backing up meaning link your account to a Google account

Hi 🙋‍♂️

I need help with the music in the game

It's beautiful, but I have ears somewhat sensitive ... and the music gives me a headache 🤕

If someone knows how to stop it, please help me 🥺🥺🌹🌹

[lost coral]

There's a feature for iPhone to mute the bgm music but it's not implemented yet for Android so i suggest for you to lower the music volume 🤔

Valley is the loudest

[red portal]

This way, I will not be able to hear the sounds of the game and it will become boring 😐😕

[red portal]

But thank you very much 🥰🌹🌹

[lost coral]

Ikr

[livid umbra]

you can lower the music volume! dont mute it , just make it a bit low

[red portal]

Hmmm 🤔

This seems logical 👍

[lost coral]

That's what i literally just said lol :D

[red portal]

😂😂😂😂Did not succeed

The music is still there

It has become louder than the rest of the game

[livid umbra]

mute it then-

i always do that

Finally the music is gone ✌😁...

Thank you very much 🥰😘😘🌹🌹

How long bat cape comeback ?

[boreal tapir]

The black bat cape was an IAP cosmetic that took place during Days of Mischief, you currently can't get that unfortunately.

The purple bat cape is from one of the spirits from Prophecy but that season had already ended. You'll need to wait until Prophecy spirits are added into the TS pool to visit.

[grave delta]

Prophecy spirits will start visiting after 2 seasons have ended starting from Prophecy

So after this season, spirits from the Season of Sanctuary will be part of the TS roster

[tender magnet]

Actually, sanctuary spirits are already in the ts pool
Here is the statement from wiki: "Spirits are tired after a particular Season has passed, and will not return as Travelers until another Season is over. Thus, Spirits from the Season of Prophecy will not appear until the Season of Dreams is over."

Yes, but maybe just hidden. hope the future can be deleted

game too late, so misses but rare items like owl hair. Sad

How long do TGC usual replies to an email? Thank you.

[sage raft]

Hi! How can I play portrait mod on android phone?

[boreal tapir]

It's only accessible for iOS on beta, it's not out yet on Live nor Android.

[lost coral]

You can try to split your screen but it's not that good and a bit waste a time

Also the controls will get wonky too

[limpid lion]

What if it is not a first response?

[fast hearth]

same thing still applies i'd imagine

[amber dune]

I wish I use xbox controller(ver.3), but LT key is not operated in controller. I know, if LT key is operated well, the circle is appeared in character's surround. This ploblem is started andriod updates, or controller's campatibility?

[fast hearth]

what exactly are you referring to when you say version 3

i recommend viewing https://gamepad-tester.com/ in landscape mode and with desktop view turned on in your browser's settings to troubleshoot

i just checked with my xbox controller, my LT button is working alright

[fast hearth]

i just checked ingame too, my controller works (using android 10, for what it's worth)

[amber dune]

@fast hearth Thanks for giving your help. I go to that page, I checked my controller is worked very well. But character's circle is not appeared still....🥲 🥲

[fast hearth]

@amber dune still curious about this

[amber dune]

my controller is xbox wireless controller, and my andriod version is 11.

[fast hearth]

ah

I'd say you should submit a report in #bug-reports-android then
make sure you say exactly what kind of Xbox controller it is in your report

the bot will walk you through the process

[amber dune]

ok. I try to request this problem report questionbot. Thank you😭 😭

[languid glade]

My game is crashing too much in wasteland for some reason
When I'm in graveyard it just starts stuttering and crashes all of a sudden.
I was on a cr and game crashed 3 times.

[next yoke]

Hmm maybe submit a bug report if this is a new issue you're having? Idk how to help you fix it but the info could help the devs if it's a problem with a recent patch or something

[languid glade]

Nvm it was a Device specific problem
My phone (Huawei) has a system app called powergenie which I removed
After an update it got reinstalled
As I play on battery saver mode turned on it just killed the sky app when it got hungry :SkyLOL:

[wraith oyster]

idk if anyone else has this problem, but sometimes when i am moving around throughout the world of sky cotl, my screen wont rotate, and is frozen in one directions for around 5 seconds. If anyone has heard of this problem and knows how to fix it, it would be much appreciated

[next yoke]

#known-issues , they've been working on a fix

[digital finch]

my friend always crashes at a part during wasteland and when she enters vault usually as well dunno why, might be a bit older model phone and cant handle the game properly

no clue tho

[jolly axle]

Is there a map for all the spirits in the season place??

I can’t fine one of them

[woven surge]

No its glitched try restarting or changing server maybe gl

Does anyone know if you can run sky the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE?? If you can, can you run 60 FPS?

[fast hearth]

Hello how do I share my sky app to another Android device??

It doesn't work the usual way

[tame comet]

No the Whole app actually

Not the Account

I said nothing of the sort, skybot. 🙄

You can't load to another Android. You must install from the play store.

[median current]

Maybe they don’t have it in the play store? What device are you gonna use?

[karmic mesa]

Play sky? Sure!
60 FPS? No

@median current ^^

[tame comet]

SD 712? Oof, yeah, no 60 fps for that cpu

[karmic mesa]

Yeah...

Proud to announce that my A20 has been retired... I basically turned the A into an S now!

XD

[tame comet]

Congrats! Still have my 3a even though it reports as a Pixel 5 due to hardware CTS check finally being enforced on my phone.

[karmic mesa]

Seems I have the best one too... 👀

But... I plan on buying one of them DeX stands... To play Sky on the TV at 1080p!

[tame comet]

Can't you just cast screen? I use scrcpy on my PC and output to my TV that way

[karmic mesa]

I mean I could... But the DeX will allow it to charge as well as have a controller hooked up and routing the sound to the TV at the same time

All in all a better experience

[tame comet]

Patiently waiting for Switch release for a true TV gaming experience with Sky. Seems mine was a better bin as I don't have any of the performance issues in newer switch titles like sw/sh

[karmic mesa]

Yeah... I got one of them controllers that attach to these sides of your phone... I'd imagine the sky release would feel about like that when used in handheld mode

Works really well

[tame comet]

Interesting... I would hate it.

[karmic mesa]

XD

Everyone has their preferences

[tame comet]

I can barely stand the switch in handheld mode and prefer it docked.

[karmic mesa]

Well... Me too... That's why I'm buying a dock for a smartphone...

XD

[tame comet]

Does your S20 still get hot? Or is the SD855 (865? Out of the loop on newer flagships) barely sweating on sky?

[karmic mesa]

It gets a bit warm... But never drops performance. It is the SD865. the only issue is that it requires a fast charger in order to keep up with the battery... 👀

[tame comet]

[karmic mesa]

Good thing it came with one in the box

I put a video on YouTube of the performance that I get

https://youtu.be/73zq9lV8dZA

[tame comet]

Bit warm... Have you checked soc temps with an app yet? Like my 3a doesn't go over 53°C now with the recent optimizations

[karmic mesa]

Of course it's flawless performance... This phone is ranked number eight in the list of strongest Android phones

Mmm...

I haven't checked the temps

I'd be concerned if it was as hot as the S7 got

[tame comet]

Yeah

[pale ravine]

heyy i cant get through wasteland (specifically, the first place you encounter the krills) without lagging and crashing 😭 i lag and crash a lot on the village of dreams too! is there any way to help this (or at least let me play through those places)

[solemn crater]

i can't dowload sky on my android phone , and when i search sky in my play store i does not come out

can someone tell me why?

[rare sequoia]

How much does the pants cost in the village of dreams?

[next yoke]

21 seasonal candles #seasons-events-chat has a chart in pins

Wait which pants? Peek or yeti?

[rare sequoia]

Peek

[next yoke]

Ah yeah peek is 21

[rare sequoia]

OK thank you

[high moon]

I can't finish this task, even tho I finished the memories, it doesn't count

And most of the times it doesn't even let me relive the spirit memories

[harsh jackal]

I can't light up candle. It's my network get problem?

[thorn onyx]

I think that's an issue with bench candles

Sometimes it's hard to light

[rare wren]

Wanting to mute game and play music in spotify. Has anyone got any workarounds for this? Like a way to only mute the sky app?

[harsh jackal]

How to get campfire stuff?

[rare wren]

Campfire spells from spirits or ark I think.

[thorn onyx]

The is an ultimate gift from belonging

Unfortunately there's no way to get the permanent item now

As what kam said you can get it as a spell at ark

[misty compass]

Anyone facing issues with Android version while listening to Spotify? I get the music of the game while playing and listening to music on Spotify

[rare wren]

Yeah tgc says they can't split the in game audio for android yet unfortunately

Trying to look for a workaround though, just want to mute the game 🔇😔

[pliant vine]

probably your android phone has a 32-bit chipset or something, it's not compatible with the game

[solemn crater]

Oh okay thanks for telling me!^^

[misty compass]

Thanks Kam for your reply

[harsh jackal]

I think about permanent item like instrument

@thorn onyx and chair can give me energy while sitting in it? How much I need to spend on chair?

[thorn onyx]

It was an item on the last event @harsh jackal

[sleek torrent]

Oh you mean the feast table?

[thorn onyx]

It costed 150 normal candles

[sleek torrent]

It's sadly unavailable now

It's really slow tho 🥶

I like candle running sky very fast

Kinda like speed running

If I run out of energy

I keep the table on a shiny boi and light the candle

It reacharges pretty fast 😂

[harsh jackal]

Oh@sleek torrent how fast

[sleek torrent]

Lol how to answer 😂

Decent speed i guess?

[harsh jackal]

Can you screenshot it for me?

[sleek torrent]

Oh maybe YouTube can help too

Are you new by any means?

[harsh jackal]

A chair on my back

[sleek torrent]

There are two tables you see

[thorn onyx]

Wait a moment

[sleek torrent]

One brown and one with decoration

Decorated one has candles

It's limited time purchase

But the normal table is forever

[thorn onyx]

It looks like this @harsh jackal

[rare wren]

@harsh jackal yeah unfortunately it was an ultimate gift from a past season. So we cannot get it right now. Tgc might make it an iap.

[thorn onyx]

Here’s me burning 150 candles on that table
#screenshots-and-videos message

[harsh jackal]

@rare wren what mean iap?

Today so was stuck 4 times. I send report to Google.

[thorn onyx]

IAP = in app purchase

[harsh jackal]

Permanent item?

[rare wren]

Campfire spell is temporary.
In app purchases are permanent.

[harsh jackal]

I got big hope that they add campfire back

[thorn onyx]

I think tgc is working on something to bring back ultimate gifts

[knotty swan]

I can't record video

[fast hearth]

just record it using whatever you used to record this...?

[knotty swan]

But I want to record the button out of sight.

[languid glade]

You can't do that on android

Even with that the buttons will be visible

[spiral walrus]

Android is sad, not headphone, can't record video

Dammm

[pallid wraith]

Can't blame tgc tho, theres a bazillion types of different android phones while ios is just apple phones
Can't imagine the type of coding just to have most androids be compatible from different companies (huawei, samsung, etc)

[fast hearth]

as mentioned above, that's not possible on Android currently, even if you use the built in recorder

to hide part of the UI, though, you can play with a controller connected

[lavish summit]

is the ski lift activation crystal not present in the android version or just not at this time

[thorn onyx]

Not just at this time @lavish summit

Only the boats to and from the coliseum works for now

[split tinsel]

Quick question for a friend, has the problem with the app not showing in the app store for some been fixed or are they still working on it? We both have androids.

[thorn onyx]

Are your devices compatible with sky?

[split tinsel]

I'm pretty sure, I know mine is since I can play it, should I search up in google if they have a phone that can?

[thorn onyx]

You can also check the pins here for the required minimum specs for android

[hidden hinge]

someone pls help i have a leftover adventure pass from last season but it wont activate, is there something i have to do??

[thorn onyx]

To give a giftpass you need to own the current AP

[hidden hinge]

im not trying to give a giftpass tho, is it not possible to use an extra adventure pass for the next season? sorry

[thorn onyx]

You can't use it on yourself

Only gift it to friends

[hidden hinge]

ahhh ok thank you

How do I report a bug on android

@compact basalt how do I report a bug on android?

[languid glade]

Go to #report-a-live-bug and react to the purple🔥

[plain sun]

They mention in the patch updates that they fixed the scaling issues in the menu. But for me they are still too big

[slow ginkgo]

what do android users use to record sky and have the audio record?

[plucky belfry]

What android phones does Sky work on? On mine it's just not compatible for some reason even though I have all the specs, so i just want to know what phones it is compatible with so i can look to switch

[thorn onyx]

Was it compatible before or not?

[karmic mesa]

What is your phone?

[plucky belfry]

I had it on an iphone 5s and then got a Galaxy a10e, it is not compatible on the second one

It doesnt even show up in the google play store, to see it at all I have to search it on google first

It gives me this

[karmic mesa]

The Samsung Galaxy A10e unfortunately has a 32-bit OS... Which ultimately makes it incompatible with the game. Sky requires a 64-bit operating system in order to run... In addition, assuming that Samsung decided to give the A10e a 64-bit operating system instead... It would run very very very poorly.

[plucky belfry]

I see, any recommendations of android phones that have 64-bit systems?

[karmic mesa]

The cheapest phone that I can think of that is compatible with Sky would be the Samsung Galaxy A20... It also performs fairly poorly...

If you're interested in other brands... Just about anything recent created by OnePlus or Google Pixel... Will run the game well

[plucky belfry]

Alright, I'll look into that then, thanks

[karmic mesa]

If you want something a little bit in the middle then the Samsung Galaxy A50 is an option...

[plucky belfry]

Yeah thats probably the option I was looking for

[karmic mesa]

However, if you want solid performance... Go for an s series... Like the s9 or s8... Or if you have all kinds of money to blow... The S20 will play the game 100% perfect

XD

I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought the s20

[plucky belfry]

Lmao

[karmic mesa]

I started on the A20

Stark difference

[plucky belfry]

Oof

My brother has a Razer phone and the game plays so much smoother

[karmic mesa]

I paid $800 for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G

The razer phone is a gaming oriented smartphone...

[plucky belfry]

That kinda money is solely in my dreams smh

But really, thanks for the info

[karmic mesa]

Finally make $9 an hour and work around 30 hours a week...

It was just a lot of saving

[plucky belfry]

No kidding

[karmic mesa]

I'm happy with it though...

In other games it'll run at 120 FPS...

[plucky belfry]

Bruh

That's really good

[karmic mesa]

After doing a tad bit of research it appears the razer phone also has a 120 HZ display

But it's only running on the Snapdragon 835..

So I'd say good luck hitting that frame rate on anything but Minecraft

XD

[plucky belfry]

Lel

[karmic mesa]

It is capable of 60fps in Sky though... So it's no slouch

[plucky belfry]

Yeah, I'm still having to play the game on my old iphone while I try to get another one that's compatible, at this rate anything would be better

[karmic mesa]

Going from 15 fps to 60... Is like a breath of fresh air

[plucky belfry]

Oh the smoothness

[karmic mesa]

Ikr

XD

Still gets me every time

[plucky belfry]

Well, time to get a job lmao

[karmic mesa]

XD

My job's been physically draining me

I work at a restaurant... 👀

[tame comet]

Pixel 3a runs the game quite well. 60 fps is locked out, but can handle it if they ever enable it. It is a decent price now that the 4a and 4a 5G came out.

[plucky belfry]

Ah noice, I'll look at that too

[karmic mesa]

I wonder why the Adreno 615 is so elusive

[tame comet]

I might have just got a good bin.

[karmic mesa]

Heh... The gpus that are around the Adreno 615... Are weaker than the GPU in the S7... Which overheats... But is capable of 60fps (tested with methods I will not disclose)

Sky won't let it... But it can

[fast hearth]

I'm surprised no one responded
anyway it all depends on the manufacturer, but some phones, especially on Android 10 and up, do have built in device recorders with the ability to capture internal audio

[slow ginkgo]

Mine doesn't for some reason

And ive tried free recording things

[fast hearth]

if yours isn't in that group, grab yourself two things

1. headphone splitter
2. aux cord

plug both ends of the aux cord into the headphone splitter, then just plug the headphone splitter into the headphone jack

[slow ginkgo]

And when I put the option to record audio, isndoesnt record and sounds like it recorded through my phone microphpne

Headphone splitter?

[fast hearth]

right, it can only capture your microphone audio, which is why I suggested the headphone splitter approach

[karmic mesa]

Try mobizen! It supports internal audio on Android 10!

[slow ginkgo]

I have

[fast hearth]

depends on the model of phone

(I think?)

[slow ginkgo]

I have either android 10 or 11, I forgot

And I have an A21, and it didn't come with a screen recorder UnU

[fast hearth]

one of these things

[slow ginkgo]

Oohhh

[fast hearth]

wait a sec

that one's the wrong kind

I mean one like this

[slow ginkgo]

Oohhh

[fast hearth]

so then you plug the aux cord into here and it turns internal audio into microphone audio, see?

[slow ginkgo]

Oki, ty

[fast hearth]

because it just sends it right back into the phone

also you can make all your friends hate you by doing this in a Discord call

[karmic mesa]

_>

[slow ginkgo]

When im in the call, the audio gets rly weird

And sounds like when you connect your phone to the car and go onto a call

On speaker

[fast hearth]

sometimes audio quality drops yeah

[slow ginkgo]

UnU

Sky hates my phone, wait...no... Samsung in general hates my phone lol

Ty tho

[karmic mesa]

I can already do dat in windows...

[slow ginkgo]

....im on mobile >->

You cant do that on phones;-;

[karmic mesa]

I know

[fast hearth]

I keep forgetting stereo mix is a thing because every time I so much as look at my audio settings I break them

[slow ginkgo]

Ph, I dont neednto do that pn my computer heh

[karmic mesa]

Stereo mix is disabled by default as an input device... It has to be enabled in the sound settings

[craggy garnet]

just curious, whats the best android device for sky

[fast hearth]

http://www.antutu.com/en/ranking/rank1.htm
https://phonearena.com/
https://willmyphonework.net/

@craggy garnet all links are self-explanatory

never buy anything with an exynos processor by the way

[exotic ice]

I play in my galaxy s10+ exynos.. And its terribly hot 🔥 for maintain the 60fps, I believe its because the sky update patch.. And i guess its intentional, this is what every monkey business do. Every game is gonna need higher phone capability from years to years, just look at the patch updates, not only sky, and that's gonna make people buy a new phone to play their games. And so on

[next yoke]

Extreme overheating should probably be reported, but due to how detailed Sky is it doesn’t run as well on Android
Maybe try adjusting the graphics down to help with overheating?

[steady hemlock]

Hey this is a picture my friend send me don’t put attention to the pass but she have problem with candles and heart they on the side of the screen as you see also the name of my player is out there and I don’t know how to help her

[pallid wraith]

Does she have 1 or more of all the currency or is it all supposed to be 0?
I occasionally have that bug so maybe try closing the game and clearing cache? That always work for me

[steady hemlock]

I don’t know what you mean I’m on iPhone and didn’t have this problem she’s on Android that why I ask here bc it’s don’t let her grow in sky

[pallid wraith]

Yes ik, I'm using android too
You can ask to her to go to phone settings, applications, and then find the sky app
There should be an option to clear cache, I can take a screenshot for mine rq

[steady hemlock]

Yes it’s will be pleasure it’s help you with this bug right you see the number next to the candle bc it’s need to be like that from the picture

[pallid wraith]

It's the bottom one, clear cache. It won't affect any in game data or progress

[steady hemlock]

But what it do?

[pallid wraith]

I honestly don't know, but it was a suggestion from someone else, so I tried it and it worked and have always done the same thing ever since

[steady hemlock]

Ok I gusses

But before I tell her something I need more help with different people

I don’t want her to break her phone

Or something bad

[pallid wraith]

You can search google for what cache does for the app
But that's the best I can help with

I use it every other day since sky can be real buggy for me
But if you don't believe me that's understandable

[steady hemlock]

It’s not that I don’t believe you it’s just that I don’t want her to break her phone bc something me or her don’t understand that’s all

[karmic elk]

If I upgrade my Android to android 11, it still compatible or not?

[pearl jackal]

@karmic elk Yeah sky compatible with android 11. But color Os itself may not compatible with Google. Like you may not pass safetynet test.

[karmic elk]

[pearl jackal]

@karmic elk

[karmic elk]

I checked before no problem

Since it's not a Huawei device it's fine

[pearl jackal]

If your phone don't have a rollback protection and you properly backup your files. You can try to upgrade your system, there's no guarantee will it works or not.

[languid glade]

Why will it not pass safetynet?

[pearl jackal]

Only google knows

[karmic elk]

Tampered google things or Banned things(Huawei for the example)

[karmic mesa]

What phone do you have?

[karmic elk]

Oppo A92

[karmic mesa]

Oof... That phone is not that powerful in the eyes of sky

[karmic elk]

Nice

[karmic elk]

Just hope the update will give me +1 or 2 FPS

[karmic mesa]

XD

At least it does better than the a20

[pearl jackal]

Imo it won't. Unless you ||delete your phones thermal control config||

[karmic mesa]

I wouldn't recommend that

[karmic elk]

This is my phone if I do that

[karmic mesa]

Haha

[languid glade]

No plz don't
I did that on my old phone to run Dolphin Emu and phone didn't last long

[karmic mesa]

You need quite the beast of a phone in order to run dolphin...

Even my s20 has difficulties

[karmic elk]

Run dolphin on PC, this will help

[karmic mesa]

I do... Or at least I did... I don't bother with it anymore

[karmic elk]

Actually, the update fix the sky

There's a sound bug when I startup the game. The piano sound doesn't play normally.

Now when I startup the game it play smoothly.

[fast hearth]

For me it never did

Anyway, enough of Sky, time for Flight Simulator 2004

Fun fact

Sky is still downloadable and visible in GPlay even though my SafetyNet test doesn't pass

[karmic elk]

Why?

Btw if the SafetyNet Dosen't pass the sky will just forced close it self

[fast hearth]

Why test doesn't pass or why Sky is visible?

[karmic elk]

Doesen't pass

[fast hearth]

Because i have Magisk

[karmic elk]

Delete it and you can play Sky freely

[karmic elk]

Or this will happend

[fast hearth]

It doesn't do such things to me

Also i need the root provided by Magisk to debug my own apps without adb

[river tartan]

Is the shop working for anyone else 😔

[fast hearth]

I don't use shops so idk

рь

[languid glade]

Is it showing restore purchases only in shop?

[river tartan]

I think it just won't let me make the payment even when I have the money 😔

[fast hearth]

google play ded

Although my google account has linked my bank card, when I click to buy the pass, nothing happens

[simple sable]

are your devices also miss the last note on the game's opening theme?

[languid glade]

Sometimes

It just becomes silent

[karmic mesa]

That happens all the time... Sometimes it'll play the full theme, sometimes it will cut off halfway through... Sometimes it just plays the first note and gives up... There's even been times when it doesn't play a note at all. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

[tame comet]

For me, it always stops on the first note.

I think it has to do with the device check and security check at the beginning. If I pull my recents up, it plays the whole theme since the app pauses those checks when in recents.

[hollow narwhal]

Why is this screenshot so pixelly? is this an android problem? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/600068151023108123/798005536100319262/SKY_20210110_204708_.jpg?width=1058&height=476

[twilit dawn]

Has anyone else found out if Sky looks better now on Android phones?

I love the game and would love even more to play it in its full glory but it's still low resolution on my device (LG Stylo 5) and I'm kinda waiting for the devs to help on that

[muted thistle]

if resolution/pixel count is the problem rather than the art style or the texture work, then i think it's unlikely you'll see any improvements on that front for any given device seeing how Sky is already pushing the hardware a bit for a mobile game -- i'd imagine you would probably need a new device to see the game in higher resolutions specifically

[fast hearth]

i would advise waiting on getting more money instead of waiting on the devs to try and optimize for something this old, unfortunately

well

i say "old"

but i'm blind, it released in 2019

which is surprising given how low the specs are

[twilit dawn]

Aw man :(

When booting up the game the last time I played it it kept saying "This device currently doesn't meet the minimum specifications to provide a smooth experience." And said that the devs would work on that, a bit disappointing, it'll be a while before I can get a new phone ;-;

[fast hearth]

name your price range

[twilit dawn]

Hhhh under 200 but that's kind of impossible

[fast hearth]

if you want to try and get something new-ish look here

check EVERY phone you're interested in against the second two links

anyway

here's the big one

[twilit dawn]

those look really cool :'0

[fast hearth]

i can personally guarantee that all of these phones will run sky well, most of them at 60 FPS

the only thing to be concerned about is the potential of lower battery life since you're buying it used and the batteries are potentially worn out a little bit

[twilit dawn]

My bf's phone also runs Sky really well but that's a Google Pixel and Lord knows how long it'll take me to get one of those, so I'll look into it, thank you

[fast hearth]

hot take

i don't like pixels

there's more powerful options available for a lower price

that first link i sent helps out with that kinda thing

also note that Sky is very GPU heavy

so use the second link to check the GPU of a phone and use google to compare it with other phones you're looking at (or the GPUs listed in the requirements in the pins of this channel)

and feel free to ask around here if you need any more advice on phone buying 👌

[tame comet]

Only good thing about a Pixel is it's compatibility as Android dev tools use the pixel experience aosp tree for testing apps on a dev machine. Unless ofc the dev uses real hardware to test and uses a different device.

Still looks pretty good for a budget device: Pixel 3a

[fast hearth]

not bad

[tame comet]

Some aliasing lines, but... Hey, it's a budget phone with an Adreno 615, shouldn't expect them to crank up all the graphics settings

[pine hill]

Do you loose your data if you change devices? Android to iOS?

[tame comet]

No. Just be sure to sync your account data as described in the pins: #android-questions message

It works both ways, ios to Android and Android to ios

[pine hill]

Oh! That's really cool!! Mostly the games I play don't have that kind of thing

Thanks for answering!

[karmic elk]

I don't know why but it doesn't work after I wake up morning

The startup sound

The sound perfectly played twice after the Android 11 update

[sleek torrent]

Can anyone else with an Exynos 9611 tell how sky runs? I have Galaxy Tab S6 lite and it heats and lags

I have been getting better fps since some time but the lags are still 🥶

[sleek torrent]

Sorry for the ping but... Omg! It's something out of 2014!

[karmic elk]

If you want a really a budget phone just play Sky in low settings. Play on Oppo A92.

Fps are littlebit lower than usual but it still playable

[winged vector]

what device supports 60 fps?

[karmic mesa]

Any device with a GPU of equal power or stronger to the Adreno 540

[winged vector]

high graphics? too

[karmic mesa]

My current device (S20 FE 5G) has the Adreno 650

Yes on high graphics

#android-questions message

[winged vector]

Thank you

[pallid ether]

if i download google play app and link my google play account to sky, will it sync or will the current save in google play which there isn't and reset my sky progress??

[winged vector]

yes it wont reset ur sky progress as long us its sync on ur google play account

[pallid ether]

but how do i sync it?? I'm a bit confused and scared because my sky progress might reset D:

[karmic elk]

Sync is automatically

[charred kettle]

How to do that in Sky ? 😂

[pallid ether]

what about this though ???

[teal obsidian]

that's permission to save game data on your google play games account. better allow it so you won't have to worry about losing game progress

[pallid ether]

but i'm a bit worried about that permission of delete your activity for this game, such as achievements and scores ;^;

[teal obsidian]

if you didn't use the same google account on another sky ID, it will save the game progress on the sky game you currently have running.

[pallid ether]

ah, so it'll only delete my progress if the account i'm signing in for my current sky game will save?

[teal obsidian]

is it your first time playing sky and linking it to a google play games account? (and you don't share account with anyone)

uh... make sure you pick the right google play games account btw

[pallid ether]

i have been playing sky for a while but i haven't linked my account to save my progress so uh.. yea

[teal obsidian]

i wanna say "just click allow" but i do worry a bit if there's already a saved game data in that google play games account XD. if you wanna be sure just open google play games and search the game.

[pallid ether]

I'm sure i haven't saved a game data already

thank you for helping me though!! i greatly appreciated it!!

[teal obsidian]

you're welcome. just copy your recovery code just in case and go ahead and click allow

[pallid ether]

what's a recovery code?

[teal obsidian]

in your screenshot above. its the tab at the very right.

(before you click link to google)

settings>account > google | facebook | game center | apple | recovery code

[pallid ether]

Oh!! i see now!! thank you thank you!!!

[teal obsidian]

take a screenshot of that recovery code

and send it to a friend on discord or something then pin it for emergencies XD

[dark pumice]

I've started lagging much more recently and I can't really play anymore - is there anything I can do to decrease the lag even slightly?

[sleek torrent]

Use AVG cleaner 👍

Works well for me

Clear cache and hibernate apps

It does it automatically for ya

@dark pumice

[teal obsidian]

@dark pumice if you're on android, you can try decreasing minimum width (write down the original value though so you can change it back < important) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epVrkbAKdUM
In my device the default value was 360 p, but the gameplay wasn't smooth so I decreased it to 320 p.
decreasing the minimum width helps keep the temp down too.

[dark pumice]

Thanks^^ I'll look into both and see what works best

[teal obsidian]

If you're using a Samsung device, there might be an option to change screen zoom and font size. either will also change the minimum width and you won't have to tinker with developer options

[dark pumice]

Yes, my potato is a Samsung and it's currently at the smallest zoom

[karmic elk]

Don't use AVG cleaner, it mostly works like bloatware.

Use your phone bulit in cleaner if you have.

[sleek torrent]

Nah AVG is pretty trusted

Lol I don't have any

If you can risk it then use developer options

Destroy all activity after user leaves it

[languid glade]

👀 lol same
I thought only my phone does that

[karmic mesa]

[unkempt relic]

You'll I'm still stuck on the first quest ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽ Someone help me （Ω Д Ω）

[thorn onyx]

Maybe try this?

How to relive a bugged seasonal spirit/quest (on iOS and Android in description)
#seasons-events-chat message

[karmic elk]

It was server side issue and you need to be quick

[unkempt relic]

Thanks it works o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

[thorn onyx]

Glad it could help

[celest meteor]

Am I the only one who got their seasonal hearts (after finishing both skater memories with a pass) turned into regular hearts?

[slender yacht]

the heart rewards for the season quests are regular hearts, not seasonal. you can only get seasonal hearts by purchasing them from the top of the seasonal spirit trees

[celest meteor]

Oh my bad, for some reason I thought they were seasonal, thank you for your fast answer!

[fast hearth]

How can fix this glitch

The text

[slender yacht]

have you tried restarting your game?

[fast hearth]

Yes and i redownload it too

How can i fix it?

[winged prairie]

Hi i just wanna ask, where is bear hug emote? im looking through my emotes but i can't find it. is it only with friends?

[boreal tapir]

Yes. It's only located in your friendship tree at the very top, you won't find it in your emote menu.

[winged prairie]

Ooh ok thank you!

[fast hearth]

Can i change my resolution, Its blurring

[pallid sapphire]

Are you talking about fuzzy gameplay?

@fast hearth

[odd edge]

My candle is gone do u know why everyone

[thorn onyx]

Maybe a bug contact support please

!support

[upper sail]

You can contact TGC Support via the menu in-game by clicking the cog icon ⚙️ in the top right corner of your screen, then clicking Support > Contact Us.
If you’re unable to access your game, you can contact Support by using the link below:
http://bit.ly/skygamecs

[thorn onyx]

Support can help with ingame currency problems

[odd edge]

😩

[odd edge]

This not helping couse dev slowly to respond it

[fast hearth]

Like over bloom

And my resolution like 360/480 idk

If about fps i know why i cant change it to 60 (tbh its make me sad 😂)

[covert inlet]

My friend's candle is gone, too.

[fast hearth]

likewise

[thorn onyx]

Check #known-issues the current wait time is 5 days

Unfortunately us players can't do anything about lost candles if restarting your game doesn't work

Support can only help in that situation

[lilac frost]

omg i lost all candle

[spiral walrus]

Lol tgc support not rep my case :((

[pallid wraith]

I opened a ticket on Jan 6 and they still haven't respond
Feels bad 👊😔

[spiral walrus]

😩

[prisma iris]

It’s around 5 business days as TGC is closed on weekends

[pallid wraith]

I opened the ticket before they announced it's 5 days wait time now But it's understandable since there must be a lot. I'm not complaining or anything but my money gone

[spiral walrus]

Maybe a month next to me

[karmic elk]

If I root my Huawei phone and flash Google Play Services to play Sky, is this counted as breaking term's of service?

[thorn onyx]

All we can do is wait

[dull salmon]

Are you guys planning to patch all the bugs that are in the Village of Dreams?

[pallid wraith]

We aren't tgc staff, we're normal players like you you can leave feedback in #live-feedback or report as many bugs as you can to #report-a-live-bug to help them better figure the bugs out!

[sacred stream]

But from what I've heard today, they're testing some fixes now

[dull salmon]

[tame comet]

It's more complicated than just flashing G Play services. You'd need to have a CTS certified device. Meaning it passes Google's Compatibility Test Suite and marked as "secure." Flashing G play services will just add the play store, but your device might not be compatible still. It's also a subject we shouldn't discuss further here as you're modifying your phone against OEM specs.

[long lark]

Is my Gen 2 table compatible for sky? I cannot find it on the play store-

[zenith willow]

Use a truck. Google "sky children of the light playstore". Tap the link that pops up, if it's incompatible it will tell u through that link...I did that and worked for me@long lark

[zenith willow]

The best place to ask that question is to dm ThatSkyBot or ask any dev whonis online and active, TGC will reply by that bot

Just don't ping...we aren't supposed to ping

[long lark]

Alright, thanks!

[humble copper]

Hi. Has anyone figured out how to do the new seasonal quest for android? I can't finish it.

[next yoke]

From bred: #questions-and-help message

[exotic ice]

Huh.. How

[thorn onyx]

It's a current bug rn

[humble copper]

Thanks but does this work even with the new quest?

[thorn onyx]

I think if you have problems lighting it the first place yes

[humble copper]

Ok. I shall try it again. Thanks @thorn onyx @next yoke .

[thorn onyx]

Hope it helps

[latent geyser]

Is it just me or the game is getting slower and slower with each update?

Also I noticed that the beta version is waaay faster

[ember glade]

@latent geyser probably has something to do with traffic

[sand bough]

happens when you ship a game and then go back and go "Well, I didn't design it to do x initially, but now I want to build y so I'll need to change it"... and that's always a rush job, not the slow & secure coding job you did originally. It's impossible to know everything you'd like to build years into the future... so, there's probably more scripts running now, so the servers weren't sized to handle that load. Judging by their announcements, they're band-aiding with better servers while they do the slow & secure job of rewriting things to not use so many resources (better servers are expensive so it's important to fix it properly, so they don't have to)

the beta would be faster just because there's less people on the server to load it up. If there were as many people on the beta server as the normal one, it'd probably be even slower as there's more & unfinished stuff running on it! it sounds like they're taking care of things properly, it'll just suck for right now until they can put the work in

[mystic tinsel]

Seeing as we can play sky only on phones and tablets. I'm trying to decided on a phone and it being able to run sky is a big factor.
Does anyone has these phones or know if either the Motorola Moto E6 with 2GB Ram or the Ulefone Note 8P with 2 GB Ram is compatible with sky?

[latent geyser]

Ohhh I see. Thanks for clearing it up

[sand bough]

Did I? I felt like I meandered a bit xD

[sand bough]

Wut's your budget for a phone; do you need to buy through your carrier?

[latent geyser]

Yes but it really helped^^

[mystic tinsel]

I'm searching for something cheap best under 100 or perhapse 150. I only need it for whats app and sky and nothing else so camera quality doesn't matter.

[sand bough]

Of the two, the Motorola has nearly 2x the power/speed for graphics per benchmarking... but neither are very good. I have a Snapdragon 845 and 30fps mode still chugs through my battery.

I'll check around... it's also important to remember you need a good screen, too. If the touch response is awful it'll make the controls feel sloppy, you know? and if the screen just looks bad, no GPU can fix that.

[mystic tinsel]

I only play inside so I can keep it on the charger. I only heard that lots of phones aren't able to play sky.

How do I check the screen resposibility expect reading tests?

[sand bough]

The rate the panel updates the touch information is what you're looking for. The panel tells Android what rates it's capable of and some apps can check that information; so reviewers will use them and include that in their review.

[mystic tinsel]

Do you have some kind of cheap phone you would recommend for sky? Or are cheap phones not good enough for sky?

[sand bough]

Believe you and me, I'm doing a lot of comparisons and shopping xD

There are some cheap phones that sort of fit the bill. I'm getting closer to an answer for your need. Do you mind if I DM you since this is no longer that related to the game?

[mystic tinsel]

Yeah sure you can dm me. I appreciate the help

[torpid wraith]

Hi, I'm having trouble in switching flight toggle modes because the button does not respond immediately. Aand I've been dealing with it for quite some time now 😂 Is it advisable to uninstall and reinstall? Thanks!

[fast hearth]

varies

[next yoke]

As long as you've linked your account and saved your id just in case you should be good

I think according to #known-issues the current wait time is about 5 days? Might've gotten shorter by now but it tends to take a few days for them to get back to you

[tame comet]

Hopefully didn't ping you, mobile discord is horrid at that. Motorola E series phones are 32 bit. Don't get the E6. It won't be compatible to play Sky. Don't know about the other branded phone.

[crude hazel]

I have Moto G7 Power which is obviously not the one you're asking about but it runs sky

[tame comet]

Yes, Moto Z and G power/force series phones will play sky, don't get a "play" version (G7 Play and Z2 Play for example) as they're 32 bit.

[kindred bobcat]

Is there any way to know if the game is coming to/is avaliable in a certain Android device? My gf says she cant get the game on her current phone (Redmi 9C), so I was wondering if there is a priority list on what brands the game is being worked on for.

[kind kayak]

i think (someone please correct me if i'm wrong) that the redmi 9c uses 32 bit, and sky physically cannot run on 32 bit. unfortunately most phones that don't meet the minimum specs stated in the pins won't be able to play sky, and the devs aren't really optimizing for those devices either.

[spiral walrus]

Lol my phone is Android devices

And they don't help me unlink -.-

[spiral walrus]

I feel bad

Waiting in 5 day, and they tell me that

[final jay]

Any fixes for low res? I have a oneplus 8, and it runs at a super low res, even at the high def setting

[true drift]

My new phones spec is
Android 11
8gb ram
snapdragon 885
Xiaomi not huawei
But it's not compatible, why?

[livid current]

#android-questions message

[true drift]

@livid current
It's not a huawei phone and it have google play on it

[lost coral]

The following GPUs are capable of > 60fps, this list is not exhaustive:
+Adreno 540
+Adreno 630
+Adreno 640
+Adreno 650
+Mali-G76
+Mali-G77
some versions of these GPUs are not 60fps-capable
From ktjn

This may help i guess

[tame comet]

By chance, when you go into play store and select settings, does it say your device is certified like in the attached image?

[pearl jackal]

Oof if you are using china stock rom. You may not pass the safetynet due to some system problem.

[silk pier]

But I got it fixed in 2 days? Idk if it was just me leveling up, but I dont remember being level 16 yesterday. I think that it depends how complicated your problem is. But idk

[next yoke]

Level 16?

[old rivet]

When will we get cutesie little headphones ;0;

[fast hearth]

when Android gets a more centralized method of detecting audio

[old rivet]

That's a good point. Now I feel less sad

[tame comet]

Android 11 introduced that though, no? With the notification panel player and apps knowing if other apps are playing audio there.

[fast hearth]

A11 is not widespread yet

[tame comet]

True, they could use that API call and just say it works for A11+

[glass oyster]

Well, it came only in flagship devices, as like in S20+.

[spiral walrus]

TGC can't unlink account

[tame comet]

That's false. Non flagships have also got A11 so far. Just samsung budget devices are delayed until May.

[spiral walrus]

Damm, i wait 5 day and ... :((

[spiral walrus]

Why i can't sign in ?

[slender yacht]

hmm, what happens when you try to sign in?

[spiral walrus]

I dont know, i try sign in and like pi

Pic

[slender yacht]

i'm not too sure then, sorry hopefully someone else who knows more about this kind of stuff will be able to help, but if nothing works out, a possible option would be to contact support

[spiral walrus]

Contact support not help my problem

Damm wait in 5 day and they can't help

[thorn onyx]

You waited 5 days and they replied or not?

[slender yacht]

yep, tgc is returning from the holidays so the wait time is a bit longer than usual

[spiral walrus]

Rep

And they tell can't unlink

Now tgc close contact for me

Lol

[karmic mesa]

Sad

[spiral walrus]

Now i can't login, unlink, buy pass :))

[karmic mesa]

[spiral walrus]

I feel bad with tgc

[torpid wraith]

I tried it and i still have the same problem. Would anyone know why? >< the phone screen isn't broken and is very responsive with other apps
