Im trying to vinculate my tablet account with my phone with my email but it says it’s already vinculated to another account (the red letters say that) how can I vinculate?
They are patched. The best you can do is to learn how to hide and outrun them.

As the message states, your account is already linked to another Sky ID. For Google Accounts, you cannot unlink once linked. There's nothing you can do to unlink Google accounts.
Hello I would like to ask if it's possible to use ipega dual thorn on sky? I'm using Poco x3 pro and its my first time encountering an outrageous controller. https://youtu.be/mkWkguCOn-8
what is the minimum specs?
Sky requires Android 8 or higher
ARM 64bit with Neon
At least 1.5gb RAM
OpenGLES 3.1 Extension Pack
Vulkan Version 1.0.3 or higher
Vulkan Level 0 or higher
up to 3gb storage to download and install all levels
If you're unsure which version of opengl or vulkan your device supports, there are apps in the play store that can tell you.
Make sure the operating system is 64-bit. Sky WILL NOT run on a 32-bit operating system.
(afaik this hasn't changed since I was last here)
Sorry for late ping, adding to what dreamfyre said it's very important that the device has good GPU. Adreno 540 or stronger is highly recommended because regardless all the specs met, Sky won't run if the GPU is not strong enough (not CPU).
Here's a tutorial how to check if GPU is strong enough
How to check device Sky compatibility
#android-questions message
my phone probably can handle it but yeah i get it now its not possible
I wondering in 2021 phones ones would still have 64bit CPU phones but with 32bit os'es?
It seems to be a platform issue. D-pad works just fine on iOS and Switch. Best to fill out a bug report and provide a video showing your phone recognizing the d-pad input from your controller. (There are quite a few "controller test" apps on the play store to choose from)
Android 12 is 64 bit only, so there's that sigh of relief. 
Hello does opening the Force 4x msaa matter on Sky graphic?
Forcing msaa in developer options only works for OpenGL ES 2.0. Sky uses Vulkan for main graphics and OpenGL ES 3.1 for the in game menus. Simple answer: it will have no effect.
Ohh i see thz
It hints at that in the menu, also. 
Somehow my graphics changed everytime i log into game
Like while i was playing i was with 2 graphics
But when after log in again later it changed to 1 graphoc somehow
If your phone's graphics score isn't high enough, the game might default to a lower value for a smoother gaming experience.
Ahh i see i see thz🤗
Wanted to mention the Adreno 530 also does fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvu77Sh4KJ4
Honestly surprising that a phone as old as the S7 can still play Sky lol.
Performs better than the switch...
That's a more than a year old video where Sky was not even close demanding as it is now. You can see on the video that had a totally different graphics engine.
Try playing Sky with S7 and video recording now 
I use the S7 for my girlfriends account when she's not able
Can anyone tell me what device/s are preferable for playing Sky, and why? What are the differences between brands and devices?
Hello.. Does anyone have any idea on how long does it take for the team to respond to bugs reported? Thank you.
from the bug report channel? devs don't reply there
Not sure if this will answer your question, but here's a list of suggested android devices you can check
Budget 60fps compatible phones by user "My awesome friends gave me a pass!"
#android-questions message
Yes. When we submit report, do they actually respond or send you a message or follow up for your report?
nope, they don't reply as i've said. that channel is only for letting the devs know there's an issue they should look into
Thanks, Velvet. Interesting, although the prices are roughly translated from Indian Rupee, so subject to change! But I did really want to know just what is the overall best without regard to criteria such as cost, and why.
that would need to wait for some android experts 
I see.. thank you 
There you go. Not the best but for a 6 year old phone I'd say that's pretty impressive.
The S7 is still more powerful than the switch
The load times Sky are very similar to my phone
Those frame drops, though... Makes me wonder what is lagging your phone. Maybe drivers? A bottleneck? Was the S7 using lpddr3?
Let me look
This is when I have better internet load times
Oh I was talking about loading between realms
Frame drop at sanctuary island👀
LPDDR 4 According to Aida64
That's my main phone

The bottleneck is probably both drivers and hard drive speed.
Is that your real frame rate?
Oof, the S7 definitely had a better average frame rate. Which phone is that?
Does anyone know how to get a better graphics (aside from the settings since there's no much of a change)? I believe I have a good chipset (snap 870 from poco f3, but it is still blurry😫 .
Maybe due to the 820 being quad core when most newer phones, even budget are 8 core
Oppo A92
Unfortunately that's just the way they have it. If you want Krispy Kreme graphics. you'll have to play on the switch which actually doesn't get that great a frame rate. Your SOC is plenty powerful enough. We just have to wait until TGC thinks it's good enough to open native resolution to mobile devices again.
Adreno 610
Ah that's why. The 530 is more powerful than the 610.
Although it's not smooth but doesn't have noticeable stutter
Right
Framedrops are rare except on some heavy area
However, if I kept a fan attached to the back of the S7 for the entirety of the gameplay the stutter will not be there. The S7 heats up really fast and starts the thermal throttle really hard.
Typically, the Starlight Dessert Area
Hey, try go to Starlight Dessert right side area. See if S7 struggling
Wait, I think they fixed it
The framerate didn't drop to 8
The lag still happens on accounts that haven't finished the 5th LPP quest to unlock that area.
I remember even my s20 saw a frame drop on that
Oh, I was thinking TGC already fix the area that makes too much particles that struggling everyone's phone
Seems that might be fixed.
Recorded on the S7 with a brand new account.
Still the Snapdragon 820 is no slouch... They did put it in the Oculus Quest 1 so...
Nvm... They put one teir up in the Oculus quest... (Snapdragon 835)
I had the wrong one... The Oculus Go has the Snapdragon 820.
Am I mistaken or that's the trail that currently only at beta?

Hello Guys, May I know what recommended android phone that can run well SKY?
Budget 60fps compatible phones by user "My awesome friends gave me a pass!"
#android-questions message
Note, if you plan to buy Poco, get the X3 pro (much better) instead of X3
Please note: 60fps is not 60fps on all phones, this is the budget list. The best possible graphic experience is on Nintendo switch, the best possible graphic experience and smoothness is on iPhones.
Some phones in $350+ will run sky pretty much as same as top end Android phones
I'm using xiaomi redmi, works great, but on lower graphics quality, this second one. When I turn the highest it starts to glitch a little
See there are Redmi phones which won't even open the game, or are very laggy and unusable. There are also Redmi phones where sky runs very good, so just saying Redmi would be misleading
Redmi 7A can't even download sky and Redmi Gaming Phone/K40 will run sky like butter
Saying redmi is not enough, true! Better take a look at the 60fps compatible list linked above
Right, I just don't remember which ver is my phone 
Settings - About Phone will tell you what model your phone is.

Can I get headphones on android in sky?
no, due to limitations concerning how external sound is detected on android they are an iOS only feature for now
hello where can i download the beta?
I kinda wanna that too
But it says that prenotations are done
#beta-faq Would tell you the information you wish to know. You can only legitimately get beta when there's an open slot in the play store or there is an invite wave. Beta FAQ channel will go into further details.
Thanks you so much <3
hi im having trouble login into the game. i cant get pass TGC logo. i've tried reinstall multible time but the problems is still there. my phone is samsung m21 (android 11 Exynos 9611) have anyone got the same issue. how can i slove this. thanks in advance
it usually happens when there's an issue with the internet connection
. Verify that your network is sustainable enough, try switching between networks (wifi to data or vice versa), then restart again the device and try again later.
i did tried to swich from my home wifi, my 4g and used serval VPN but nothing works so far
Using a vpn is not recommended or supported by TGC. Please don't recommend, discuss, or seek help with VPNs in this server
oh sorry about that
maybe someone with better knowledge about Android devices can help you then
Try with removing all notifications from phone notifications tray, restart device.
i did try that, problem still presist
Then it seems the issue is bigger on your phone as expected. Try to uninstall all recently installed other apps and try to rollback any Android phone update. Sky didn't receive updates for weeks
First clip is Android and second is Switch. Android has higher AA artifacting than Switch as shown in the comparison clips. I also like that the butterflies on Switch are enlarged when far away to spot them easier than on Android. (also take a look at butterfly fields when flying in. Android is blurry as all hell while Switch is nice, pretty and crisp.)
Devices: Pixel 3a running high res mode. Switch docked running 60 FPS mode.
Woah Switch renders more high res
Optimizations are a lot easier when the device family runs the exact same hardware and software compared to mobile. It's sad that my Pixel 3a benchmarks higher than the Switch at almost everything but due to Android fragmentation, we get shafted.
Is beta invites coming today?
no one knows when there will be a Beta Tester invite wave, but only devs. Currently Beta is full/closed and devs don’t need more testers at the moment. Head over to #beta-faq and wait for the next invite [do not expect it in the early future]
Will the Christmas party for Chinese servers come on 20th like international servers?

Hello, yesterday I finished the story of the game and now I don't know what to do. Someone could help me?
Now it's an endless grind to get the cosmetics
you could help new players, make new friends, etc
You can't really 'finish' the game either, I can assure you that there's a lot you haven't seen if you went through the realms once
Hello
It's rather #questions-and-help topic
You can't finish the game 
If you mean Eden , that's just a weekly cycle. Many users play Sky for more than a year. If you think you've finished, it means you miss almost whole point of the game. We constantly have new events, new seasons with seasonal areas. Moreover, here's the moth guide by Clement for fun things to do in Sky:
hello, my sister is playing on android and when she lights up some spirit, the icon shows to be black and without timer…is it some kind of bug on android phones?
there's only the black silhouette? if so, than that does sound like a bug
it looks like this
yup, that bug
oh okay, thanks 
Why do only Iphones get to have cool headphones on their sky kids ?
Software differences in how audio is detected. Obviously no possible way on Switch but for Android, the API call has changed quite drastically between the major Android versions Sky supports
:( so were probply never gonna get them?
Unless TGC stops supporting Android 8 and 9
Damn
Android 10 up uses the same API call to detect other apps playing audio
That sucks
Using that new API call would mean they have to stop supporting Android 8 and 9 which I don't see anytime soon.
It's not possible like disable the feature if game didn't detect android 10 or higher?
If it's detect the android is lower than Android 10 API level the feature will be lockout and disable to prevent unintended crashes
looks at the multitude of other crashes in Sky for Android in the time it's been released More instability for a feature wouldn't be welcome. 
When android version release more, crashes more if TGC make mistakes
My moto g power 2021 just got the Android 11 update yesterday. Since then, sky has become near unplayable at times because of lag, loading issues, and crashing. It seems to get worse when there are more players in my server. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the game to run better before I try to downgrade back to Android 10? 💀
If you got a buggy android update then downgrade is your best (and most probably only) option

there was a wave recently so there might not be new invites for a while
Well, that's really bad that your device has such visual drawbacks compared to the Switch, but I see that, at least on my phone, sky runs quite well without so much AA artifacts, even on Hi-def mode.
What i believe all that matter is thst it can run sky. Im currently running on A02s which you cant even install sky here
This is why i havent play sky for 6 months since i switched
Restoring purchases aren't for moving it to another account. It's intended purpose is to restore a purchase that didn't properly apply to the original account. Being able to move purchases to another account was a bug. It seems that bug was finally fixed in the back end. It is now working as Intended.
does anyone's game is failing to load?
So i am currently playing Sky and i realised the last couple days i cant actually hear the game
I was capabel of hearing it a week or two ago but the only thing i hear is a contorted sound when i send a message. Does anyone have any advice how i could fix it?
Check ingame audio settings?
its normal settings
I can even tell you if i open the game i can hear the starting sound of the TCG logo on android and it suddenly audio cuts out
Even when i completely mute all 3 i can still hear TGC logo sound. That's not related to ingame sound
How's yours in this menu?
Was there any update for your device recently?
It's a very long time (1+ year old) bug on Androids TGC didn't fix.
The issue might be that the environmental (birds and sea) sounds cancel the intro sound
Or just a bank (fmod audio file package) loading error with Android.
Your theory works, also though. Start sound could be a bank from one package whilst the birds and music are from another and the switch between banks makes it get cut off sometimes most of the time.
If that's the case they could solve it by delaying the environmental sounds a few seconds - this should be applied to all platforms as long as they use the same build

#questions-and-help message
okay!Thank you for your reply!!
I often get stuck at the tgc logo screen when I enter the game, even when I delete the cache. Maybe it's a problem with my phone, but other games don't have this problem
The only way I could fix it was to reboot the phone, nothing else worked, I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
My phone:OnePlus 8 PRO
Yes, often device restart helps (or removing all notifications from phone's notification tray). Unlike other games Sky - having a unique graphics engine - highly depends on proper Vulkan renderer which is often improperly updated or abandoned by phone manufacturers.
i bought the sparkler emotes, but it hasnt changed from the default one i collected from a spirit before the ts came (just waving my hand around lol) is there any way i can fix this?
which level of the emote did you purchase?
level 2 ((late reply, sorry ;;
here's a preview of sparkler parent's emotes, made by voi:
#seasons-events-chat message if you tap and hold the sparkler emote, does it not produce the same result, as the one they display for lvl 2?
no it doesnt, it only does the hand motions, no sparkler. level 1 doesnt have the particles either
would you mind sharing a video? :0 sounds very odd. do you have this issue with other lvl 2 emotes?
i cant video record bc it wont connect my google acc :( i dont have any other lvl 2 emotes either ((i can try to get a screenshot though
try using a third party app to screenrecord
crashed almost right after, hope this is enough ;;^^
you long press the emote icon to get lvl2?
yea
could it be bc my graphics are too low?? i cant go much higher than literally the lowest 😭
hmm, I think there are small effects since I can see some movement in the general area of your hands. if you try it in a darker area, like the wasteland lobby or vault, does it look different?
thats where i originally tested it, since i remembered i have it, and no it didnt
i think its most likely my graphics, since i really have to zoom in to notice the particles like in the video showcase, they end up looking like tiny scratches even then
;w; not sure why the lvl 2 doesn’t work even if your graphics are interfering with the visibility on lvl 1 
thank u for the help anyway!! ;w;
I don't have the windmil prop available here...?
Second pic is from my friend
since it's an exceptionally late update it might require some time to reach at all devices. Try restarting your device, on the off chance that it doesn't work, simply wait
Please tell me why the translator built into the keyboard does not want to translate normally in games. Just an endless download, but there is no translation. There are no such problems on another phone. (If anything, i'm using Xiaomi)
If you use Gboard, it can be because Google services don't work properly on your phone.
If it's another translator, report as a bug to the keyboard devs, it's not Sky bug
the problem is that it's on all keyboards with a translator. Not only in the Gboard... For example, a phone with a Samsung brand, there is no such problem...
If Samsung phone doesn't have such problems, the problem is with your phone, not Sky
I want to know, w h y....
Only devs could know, they don't read here
hi, has sky been lagging with more People lately?
No it hasn't. If you experience lags, it can be because your device performance dropped because of age or it received a buggy Android update

Does sky works on ipad first gen?
Technically not an Android question (non-Android specific questions can go in #questions-and-help) but here’s the compatibility list
It's already noticeably laggy in some areas on a 5th Gen iPad and an iPhone 6. A 1st Gen iPad sounds like it'd be an unbearably bad experience if it can even run iOS 12
First Gen iPad is too weak now even for a current day browser...
I have problems with the store, it tells me that it is not available. I can not buy anything
How can I fix that? Until I uninstalled sky and reinstalled it

Is iphone se compatible with sky?
This is Android Questions chat. That question would better be suited for #questions-and-help. If it's the newer SE model, yes it should be compatible. The original SE from over 5 years ago most likely wouldn't be able to run Sky.
It can run 60fps?

Probably your ISP can't connect to the AWS server which is the thatgamecompany use for Sky Server's. The only solution is wait
Hey anyone know why this might be happening?
Clear Play Store Data and reboot phone usually fixes that problem.
The store came back up but it won't let me buy anything? I'm located in the U.S. so I'm not sure what the problem is
There have been issues before using G Play Balance. I would make sure the region set in your play store is correct. Play Store, Settings, General, Account and device preferences. Make sure it shows your region as US and ensure you're trying to make the payment on a US IP address.
How come a PowerVR ge8320 phone is able to run Sky? Uzephi, anyone, can someone tell a reason?
I'm happy it's able to, however I was sure so far it's incapable to run Sky because of weak GPU.
It's set to the US, and in fact I've successfully made purchases from other apps, so I think the problem is with Sky 🤔
Thank you for all of your help though!! I sent in a bug report and hopefully the sky team will be able to help when they get back from holiday break 😊
Is it just me or I cant access SKY for an hour now??
No internet issues. But I cant do my cr this way. I havent run for the day yet. Pls help. 😭😭
No issues here. I would suggest trying a different connection from a different ISP. It could be a break in your ISP's backbone to the AWS server Sky uses.
Maybe just TGC mistake
Mine too
anyone else ever experienced this? i made an iap gift for my friend but she didn't get anything even I've got a mail saying I already paid for it

Is the server still down?
Sky server was not down today.
Some internet service providers (including yours) have or had issues tho. It depends on country/area so you need to check because in my country it's totally fine
I still cant log in to sky even tho my internet is totally fine, anyone else still experiencing the same issue?
I totally get you since i do experience the same 🥺
I'm experiencing Server issues too maybe our internet connection since the typhoon Odette hit the whole Visayas in my country Philippines. I'm sorry to all my friends these few days struggling to connect on the game.

It's Monday. The TS left
I guess I'll have to wait until next ts to see what happens
PHILIPPINES SERVER WHO HAD PROBLEMS: i keep records to how to join/play the game because of the "error communication" this happens because of the our internet its not because of how great the internet or ping are its because of the recently typhoon odette its cause most of the Visayas sadly, because of this its causing the "error communication" mostly from albay because im Albay mostly near the visayas.

The way to play the game is timing only i recently figured out that you can play in 3:00 PM/1:00AM and please DON'T LEAVE AT GAME i recommend this to someone who had great batter and phones , because if you leave you will never gonna play again and if your phone is a POTATO then i recommended not to it may Cause your phone/battery broke or worst ,be aware this only temporary error this always happens because of typhoon i recommend just to wait till the weather is calm and if you guys badly wanted to EARN/CR then this only i can give, be aware i still not sure if this works or not i just share my knowledge.
I did the task 2 times successfully but the game didn't recognize me, I logged out and back in and tried again but it didn't work.
It's rather a #questions-and-help question, faster response there. You need to do the ski race in Hermit valley not in dreams village
I tried to redo it so many times, and realized I did the wrong task thank you
what android phone would support 60 fps?
Take a look at this list. Then are many more phones which will run sky at 60, but this list has the cheaper phones which will run sky just as well
What about S10 lite I tried looking it up but I didn't found much about it.
It has a weaker slightly weaker CPU/GPU than the Poco X3 Pro, a $200 device...
But it can run sky at 60, but it's a bit old imo
Anyone having issues with sending heart today? The game showed me i sent, but my candles didnt decreased
Anyone got a trick to bypass the graphics locked? . I just want to have 60fps or HD
theres no way to bypass it aside from having a device capable of running it.
Sky automatically locks you out if it'll be a detriment to / overheat a device.
consider it a blessing as overloading your phones hardware/battery will reduce its lifespan
I see. Thank youu
no problem :)
The game does a basic Android API call that checks your device's build.prop file. This file is read only. I'm sure someone dedicated enough can find a way to change what that file reports to other apps. (It can be done, but can't talk about it here. Best use Google and know the only way to do it involves voiding your device's warranty) 
id suggest just... not doing that?
youre putting yourself at risk of ruining the phone/bugging out the game.
not to mention fiddling with software/file names/ androids specific set up in your device can result in 1) voided warrenty 2) being locked out of play store 3) super fried battery due to overloading the device
like i stated above. its more a blessing than a curse. If youre really wanting the 60 fps, check this channels pins for a list, there are some good budget options. but all in all, those restrictions are there for a very good reason
its also why we arent supposed to discuss how to do such things. someone well meaning could end up eating the price to replace/repair their phone.
been doing it for over 10 years and haven't had an issue, but yes, for the average user having that kind of access to your device will end up bricking it.
Phones are never sold at their top performance for many reasons including Stability and Hardware wear/stress
Usually stability. Each SoC has 4 speed bins due to silicon anomalies. Each bin has different frequency "limits" so to speak. In reality, the kernel should prevent any overload on a silicon level for the device. (I.E. hardware wear or stress shouldn't happen unless you use a custom kernel that makes changes to the speed bins and/or voltages.)
It's an interesting rabbit hole to research and highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know more about their device. (Edit: speed binning is done at the silicon manufacturing level, not device manufacturer. I.E. if Samsung sold a device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, Qualcomm would set those bins, not Samsung, usually in a base kernel for the device manufacturer to follow. Qualcomm's is called CAF, Code Aurora Forum.)

This has happened to me before too.
Thanks a lot. I'll try clearing notifications next time. Cuz I do normally have a lot of those stacked up in the bar.
okay so yes i loaded my cellphone number but it wasn't one of the way to buy the pin,the easiest was gcash,but i dont have it. so ye the.money balance was on my number. i couldn't purchase it tho. the acc that was linked on playstore was my friends acc,i switched it but it was still the same. so i removed it. then the shop went "app purchases not available". what should i do? the money balance is still on my cellphone number.

I have a question, does sky cotl work on galaxy A02s?
From past convos, Samsung A02s is a 32-bit phone, thus it cannot run sky
a02 or a20?
im playing on an a20 :v
its a potato though. game does lag and glitch a lot. how it even runs and lets me screen record ill never know. its a beasty lil potato phone.
(ahh its a 64 bit after all. somehow. despite being a cheap cheap cheap phone thats over 3 years old)
See I'll say to stay away from Samsung A series phones if you want to play anything close to Heavy games. There are some A series phones which are fairly good(Had to say this or Dreamfyre will get triggered) but most of the cheaper A series phones are either 32bit or very weak 64bit. If you want to game on a budget, Chinese phones are the way to go. If you have money then get Samsung/iPhones as they are just more convenient to use (except you have to charge some iPhones 3 times a day
)
Wait.. wouldnt a chinese phone be region locked? or are you meaning like Huawei
to be frank when i bought this phone, my old one had just been run over
so whatever worked and didnt break the bank was what i picked. I must admit, for low low low tier, it isnt awful but it is laggy at the worst of times. I can't say id recommend the A series for gaming either, but for a basic phone? its good.
Im just glad i can even run sky because i cant afford a new phone right now
After the tax season im getting an upgrade.
Xiaomi phones are example of Chinese brand that still has Google in it. Newer Huawei will never have Google services due to the US ban... Thingy...
I mean. im a bit north. but i think we also have that ban. one of the owners was in jail here for a long time (but thats a different topic i dont care to discuss heavily)
SKy is compatible with Android 12?
check the pins, one of the posts clarifies you need android 9 or higher :)
Howdy my game been lagging for months now and I try turning my wifi off and on but that didn't help and I have enough space to play the game and I turn my graphics down and up but that didn't anything I have video proof also
Did you try clearing cache too?
Yes
I literally have an android 11 version-samsung a12 and my device,somehow,doesnt meet the minimum expectations to provide a smooth experience!like bro
it's your gpu that is limiting you - sky is extremely graphics intensive, and will not run on devices that do not possess quite a powerful one. android version doesn't really impact weather the device is compatible beyond the minimum qualifications of android 8
Samsung a12 ihas a very very, very weak GPU. It barely meets requirements. It has a budget GPU
It's not Sky fault. You chose a very demanding game for a below mid-range phone. A12 is a great device by many aspects btw but not on playing graphics demanding games like Sky.
Samsung also tends to overlook proper vulkan Android updates which also adds to the sloppy experience because Sky - unlike other games - heavily depends on proper vulkan drivers
I have a Moto g play, and whenever i play sky on it the game crashes after 30~ minutes, anyone else have a similar problem?
If you read back it's not a common issue at all. (It can be possible that your phone system force closes the game because of thermal throttling or internal components heat protection. )
is there a way to change the language of the game ? cuz my friend when she download sky the language is japanese
Sky uses the language that is set in your device settings.
to change the language on Sky If you are on iOS go to Settings -> scroll down to apps -> click on Sky -> Language -> choose any language you prefer
If you’re on Android Uzephi just said it
thanks guys :]
Ah, by Chinese phones I meant brands like Xiaomi,Realme,Oppo,etc. Honor actually has Google apps now as they claim to be seperate from Huawei. Huawei phones cannot run sky but Honor can. They (Huawei) found a legal loophole for now.(Meant to reply to the message above from same user
)
Hello, how can I find the support in the game?

If you're looking for Budget 60fps compatible phones by user "My awesome friends gave me a pass!"
#android-questions message
Can someone help me, I want to know if it is possible to play sky with 60fps on the Vivo y73
A G76 MP4 (the GPU in the Y73) would not support 60 fps.
For a G76 GPU to support 60 fps, it need at least an MC8 or higher
I have an Oneplus 8 pro, does it not support High Definition 60 fps?
It should support 60 fps. If 60 fps isn't unlocked, I would suggest reporting it as a bug. The Adreno 650 is well capable of 60 fps.
To report a Sky bug to TGC, follow the instructions at the bottom of the read-only #report-a-live-bug 
You can also read more detailed instructions in the link below! 
#questions-and-help message
ahck i don't really understand hh but that's sad 
do you know if Vivo y53s and Vivo v21 5g supports the 60fps setting?
For similar price range, i would recommend taking poco lineups such as poco x3 pro or poco f3. These 2 can get 60fps in Sky.
oo okk thank you! I'll check those out 
See High definition 60fps isn't released yet, just 2 lighting bolt 60fps/performance mode. High Definition 30fps is the maximum for now.
As answered in DMs, they won't, they just aren't powerful enough. For the same price range you can get the Poco X3 Pro Or any other phone from the list linked above(Oop definickly#0022 already answered it

Hello! I just wanna ask if the "System Update" may affect the performance of Sky in a good or bad way, or may I still be able to install sky? I was just being anxious about system updates because it might affect Sky 
- Xiaomi Redmi 8
^ please ping me if you have any answers!
oh, thank you :)
So, just upgraded my phone and noticed that the max fps option for running the game in high res was 30 fps. I have a 120hz display at 2400x1440 powered by a snapdragon 888. In theory I should have no issues playing the game at that frame rate and resolution, yet it is not an option. Is there a way to configure more granular graphics settings?
A 120hz display is far from rendering Sky at 120fps (which would fry or crash your phone for sure, people usually have no idea how demanding Sky is
)
Please note albeit CPU and GPU are bond together many times, cpu doesn't matter that much for Sky. Sky is GPU hungry. Also Sky always upscales image to your device resolution because of android fragmentation.
You may be able to have 60fps tho with those specifics, it's a butter smooth (also battery adios) experience on stronger phones - if it doesn't crash on your phone because of android Vulkan driver or other conflicts and this is why it's disabled. Give it a shot and report as a bug that you don't have 60fps! 
System updates do affect Sky playing performance if it affects the graphics renderers in direct or indirect way, but we have no idea what that update package has inside and what will be its effect on your device.
Most if not all Snapdragon SOCs have the GPU and CPU bound to each other, so that phone is gonna run sky as good as Android can, but yeah from the next gen onwards I wish the Devs would implement experimental 120fps mode as they're pretty capable now 👀 and next gen phones are going to use a lot of AI for Processing.
I have strong doubts 120fps would do anything good because it's not just a button, it would need immense amount of coding and I barely hear about anyone who constantly keeps playing at 60fps even on newer iPhones because of heat and quick battery drain.
If you agree I'll DM you 👀
See there are cars which can do 300+ km/h but they are rarely used at that speed! It's there for occassional fun and for show. I think of the same thing about 120fps in Sky
Hii my friend changed her gmail so she wanted unlinked her old gmail to the new one but she lost her data.. is there any way to get her account data back?
You can't change linked login methods. Try logging in with the old email
She said she unlinked it somehow I checked her character and it look like a moth
I wholeheartedly accept your opinion and do agree that phones could be capable of it but as told, not capability is the issue. To stay at your metaphor, the issue of cooling the engine (phone internals) and how to get enough fuel (that processing needs battery power - then Sky will have battery drain bugreports). Also as I told it needs immense coding capacity for the sake of very small fracture of players which TGC doesn't have. Again, I agree that phones are capable, but it's not practical at all imo. Let's move on 
Hello!! So I have got a new phone and I want to transfer my sky acc from my ios device to this device samsung
I don't know how? My other phone has a linked Google acc, I try to get the acc on the new phone but it doesn't even give me the option to log in
When you first start the app, there should be a prompt: "are you new to Sky?" Select "no" and there should be an option to sign into your Google account
Try looking under the play button on the start screen (with the water and the Message of the Day), there should be a "sign in" button
I tried that too but every time I try to insert my acc it doesn't let me, it loads but then goes back to the intro screen
Change account via Play Games app
I'm also a Samsung user
is there a way to change the language? my game is in Spanish (which is fine bc it's my native language) but i wanna change it to english bc most guides and stuff are in english and it would be easier for me lol
For Android, language in Sky is set by your system settings. Settings - System - Language and Input
oh thanks!

Works after tethering to another device with worse ping fsr 😂 thanks for the tips
I just got a new phone today and when I try to play sky it says my device doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the graphics
I can still play but the graphics are really bad
The thing is I've seen people play sky with the same phone and they had good graphics
Can you send screenshot here?
If app store says your device is not compatible, it means it became deprecated. You may have seen those people play Sky in earlier Sky versions.
the app store allows me to download the game
but when i play it, before i press play, it says my device doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the graphics
but i can still play
just with rly bad graphics
can i send a screenshot in this channel?
You can send screenshot but there's no use. Posting a screenshot doesn't resolve that Sky will stop supporting your device.
Try to report it as a bug in #report-a-live-bug and let's hope devs can find a fix. 
hello, ive tried to screen recording sky, but the audio doesn't get recorded. but in game audios are recorded in other apps. is it the same for anyone? thanks
Use android 11 built in recorder for best quality or use a third party screen recorder
i used huawei built in recorder
Hol up
You said you play Sky a Huawei device
does it not work for a huawei device?
Well I play sky sometimes on Huawei too, older Huawei's still have play services
Is anyone else having permacrashes?
Regardless who has it there are 10000+ device variations, so let the devs know in #report-a-live-bug
It seems like Huawei bug, use a third party recorded
Did already
wow
Hi just wanted to ask if anybody else is also having extreme lag in game? I tried both wifi and data but it's still lagging terribly.
If you mean lag as in frame drops, I don't think it's caused by your connection
It's the graphics of the game if that was the answer. Who knows anyways. (Developers do..don't take my words for it.)
Lag means your phone is struggling running Sky. It can be because of various reasons: weak phone GPU, or if it was good before in Sky it can conflicting third party app or a problematic vulkan renderer in an android phone update.
Sky didin't get updates for several weeks.
Oh my.
i can't access sky for the moment? why? as u can see my internet connection is fine...
Sky uses different IP range than Discord, so it can still be your ISP

how come for android users, some im game things, unlike ios, arent there, like,.just for example, when listening to music, ios users get headphones whereas androids do not
that is a hardware limitation concerning detecting external sound on android’s part. not something tgc can change without dropping support for several versions of android
which is a shame, really. those headphones are so cute, but i'm not gonna buy a whole new kind of phone just to get them
can i change the email my sky account is linked to
once linked, you can't unlink your login method
How to change account in sky?
I clicked the sign in method but the switch button is not working
Try switching account from Play Games app
Did that already, still not working (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
Are you sure you switched account from this app?
Yes
It's already not in my main account now
And i also try launch sky from Play Games too, it's not working
Switching accounts amongst family members is ok and said to be supported but very buggy and having multiple accounts on one device resulted account merge or lost several times. It's highly not recommended to use multiple accounts because both of them can be easily banned.
The best way to change accounts is use the built in "multiple users" feature of Android. It separates each account using different data partitions. You have a less chance of any parts of the accounts crossing data.
Settings - System - Multiple users.
As stated before, this should only be used if it is a shared device. Having alt accounts to gain an unfair advantage is against the TOS. (Unfair advantage meaning getting hearts from an alt or daily light from them among other things that can give you an advantage having an alternative account.)
Well it's not alt account it's my friend's account (´-﹏-`;). Anyway thank you for helping!
Logging into your friend's or any other's account is also against the Terms of Service, iirc 
However, if you "let your friend use your phone to play" while you play on a second device with them, that would be fine. I.E. I let my friend use my Switch to play Sky while I use my phone when they visit.
Guys, can i ask, when i try to sign in with google, its say "Google Play" is that mean the game progress is saved on Google Play Games or not?
The progress is saved either on your device (local data option, not available if you have ever cleared data or reinstalled the game) or on TGC's servers. Google Play Games is just a link method. There is a secure and private hand-off between your chosen link method and TGC's servers. Example: Google sends a special hash value assigned to your GPG account to TGC for them to send your account data for your play session. (This is also seen by you logging in as a moth while your account data gets temporarily downloaded if your network connection is weak.)
So, if i decided to switch to lets say from android to IOS, i just have to sign in with same Google account despite there's no Play Games, and the progress will be saved?
Yes. You can also use any of the other link methods if you wish. Google and Apple ID cannot be unlinked, though due to security reasons. After an IAP, Nintendo accounts cannot be unlinked for similar reasons.
Since I'm using android as my only phone, the only linking method is Google and Facebook
So, only Facebook can be unlinked?
You can unlink Facebook sync from your device, and this is true to all sync methods.
But you cannot unlink it from Sky account in servers, so regardless you unlink it on phone because of security reasons the linking method will forever be connected to your Sky account.
You can link a Nintendo account on Android, also. 
hey guys, what kind of device should I get if I want to turn the graphics settings to the max? what are the recommended specs?
Asking out of pure curiosity, this game is reportedly hard to run?
some recommendations on both Apple or Android devices would be neat
@fast hearth I have a Samsung s20 galaxy ultra and everything runs great for the last year. Max graphics is fine but it kills battery fast.
List of budget 60fps compatible phones by user "My awesome friends gave me a pass!"
#android-questions message
Note: if you want best graphics, choose Nintendo Switch. If you want best graphics and smoothest gaming experience, choose iPhone. Sky is originally written to iOS, the rest are only ports. 60fps drains battery fast, Sky is a very demanding game in terms of GPU (CPU and RAM are fairly less important)
Max graphic settings look differently on different devices. Example: I use 60fps occasionally on my Android and one battery bar setting (30fps normal mode) almost all time on my iOS device because it's already very smooth and looks perfect. On some phones 30fps normal mode is lagging because of hardware differences.
zzzz
When will the new season start 
No one knows when things will happen in Live
Any Live announcements will be made in #news!
@wind nebula @fast hearth the app start countdown has proven to be inaccurate several times. We will know for sure once TGC will announce it in #news. Keeping an eye out on it, based on past experiences it should be expected to be announced in a few days!
so i am both android and iOS user and i wanted to ask if having a cheaper price on iOS is normal. It's not like the price difference is big but just a few cents. Does this happen to anyone else?
There's a slight difference between the two platforms depending on how much sales rate do Google play or Apple app store charge. It varies from time to time a bit, but you get the same items, don't worry.

Hii Wanna ask why I can't use Google Play game/in game record?
At first time,Im trying when im downloading sky,It doesn't have any problem...But I can't maybe after update a while ago
It say "Recording failed: unrecoverable capture error"
Sorry if Im asking to much
And when Im trying to use my own phone recording it keep lagging
(I hope Im asking at the right channel-)
The Google play games app recorder has always been buggy. Use Android 11 built-in recorder or use a third party screen recorder from play store
Oooh But when I use the Android built-in recorder It keep lagging
TYSM For Answering!!

Im So Sorry again
No problem! 
Performance will be always more likely laggy if you record gameplay beacuse the phone has to do 2 demanding tasks. Flagships or well optimized phones don't lag
Oooh I got it! TYSM AGAIN

how do you record your screen without the controller buttons/cape fuel button being shown? i thought the built-in android screen recorder would automatically not show them but it does 
It's android system limitation that you can't. Android handles everything strictly in one layer which cannot be bypassed as of now.
Screenshot still works without UI of course because the game pauses for a fraction of second. We will see later if ever devs will find out something or android loosens its boundaries.
Hi everyone!!
Which android devices support 60 fps guys??
For Qualcomm Snapdragon 7xx processors, which series supports 60 Fps ??
Thank you guys!!
From what i heard, adreno 620 GPU in Pixel 5 got 60fps in Sky.
I am having fps drop issues
My device - a poco f1 with 6gb ram and a SD 845 prolly
Currently on android 10
Any suggestions to fix or help on what maybe the cause ?
If you're talking about the random freeze spikes the game has, no. It started about 6 months ago on Android only and I don't see it being resolved anytime soon. Maybe report it as a bug?
I found using Android's built in recorder helps reduce the problem, but your device storage may not like that solution
It works smoothly 70% of the time, and then there are fps drops at times which will stabilize after 1 min irrespective of the area I am in
recorder, as in screen recorder ?
I assume starting a recorder will anything but help fps issues
Screen recorder. It seems to be a pause in load activity as keeping your device near full tilt stops the random freezes.
I'm sure there are other ways to keep your GPU at 100% but I found the quickest and easiest solution was screen record.
Plz add headphones for android
#wishlist-and-ideas-archived or #live-feedback
but that is more of android limitation
I
Headphones is not available for Android because of how clumsy way Android handles perceiving internal audio. It's Android's strict limitation.
Every time I've linked my keyboard to my phone (I play on switch) there messages I type don't appear in game. Anyone know why?
The in-game AI filter helps to make Sky a safe place but tends to result in false positives. Reword your message or cut the sentence into more parts. Some combination of words can mean something inappropriate.
If even one word is filtered, you may have triggered the AI too many times, wait a little.
If you still encounter the issue, you can leave #live-feedback to let TGC know this time the filter is too sensitive
Why does the game look so blurry in 60fps mode or the high def 30 fps mode?
It genuinely looks so terrible that its hard to enjoy the scenery
It is because your android has bugged Vulkan renderer drivers and Sky heavily depends on it. #report-a-live-bug so devs maybe will find a solution for your device.
In the meantime use normal mode 
I would like to ask. Do those who have Poco 3x pro have the same problem with translators in the keyboard? It's just that, as I understand it, this applies to heavily loaded games (like sky, genshin...). In lighter games, there is no such problem. I would just like to hear the opinion of people with such a phone about translators...
no
It's not a case of it being filtered. It doesn't show at all. If I type on my switch and it gets filtered I see it red and the other person sees nothing. Even if I type hello nothing appears in game so seems the linked keyboard doesn't work.. sorry if I wasn't clear in initial message
If you try to send messages when granny is serving or geyser is erupting, chances are the message will not be sent due to high traffic
Simply restart the game
help, why i cant see ts at home :(((
Restart game, try on different connection, relive spirit, light up its statue and watch cutscene, do it with a friend who sees the spirit, try on a different device (which never had sky install)
even if they haven’t relived the ts they should still be standing on the pond
seems like this bug is catching new players left and right
I know, what I told them is troubleshooting tips as the most they can do
I can run sky in background before while using other apps(like discord) and resume from where I stopped several times but now whenever I run it in background and reopen sky back it doesn't resume from where I stopped and it got restarted again is it some sort new patch or is my sky bugging?
Also it started happening since two or three days ago
It's your phone. Its hardware components degraded or it got an android update which force closes Sky to save battery from heavy background apps
Sky didn't receive updates for weeks.
I didn't update my phone though. Is there a way to run it background like before or no?
- android updates are often automatic (if you can't rollback update or check it, the answer is no)
- it can be a conflicting third party app (if you can, uninstall apps which can run in background)
- if none above, then your phone components degraded as per I told (in this case you have no chance)
Ah, thanks tib you're helpful as always 
:(( i tried all, but it's still not works
Do you have Nintendo account by chance?
Sky uses around 500-900Mb of RAM. If your device's Low Memory K(word that will delete my message) or LMK for short feels you're running out of RAM and Sky is in the background, it will be the first app to get closed.
My device has a lot more storage space left like 58%
No i don't have nitendo account, i just a new player
Not storage, RAM or random access memory. A chip next to your CPU/GPU that give quick access to some files temporarily
Ohh, sorry I got confused 
If you're a new player : you need to meditate at the end of 4th realm Valley of triumph in order to see the ts
Yes i did that,( this is my second account, i have been played about 6 months) i relive all sp in game, but still don't see
Further tips as a last chance

Ok!Thank you for answering my question
hello I used to play this game way back 2020 but along the way some unfortunate events that leads me to deleting the email I used in my old account and now that I revisited this game I believed that it's futile to look for the old account so I created a new one a few days back... but now I discovered that my old account didn't get deleted and accidentally found out I can still access my old acccount is there a way for me to link that old account to my new gmail that I used to make the new account?
Unfortunately, gmails are locked to the account they first link with. There isn't a way to shuffle gmails. It's a security reason on Google's end.
No you can't do it and even support can't do it because of security reasons. If you linked Gmail to your new account, that's bound to it for good. Fortunately you can make another Gmail which you can connect to your 9ld account.
thank you both @tame comet and @past arrow but I don't get it if I can't unlink my new account how am I gonna transfer my old account especially when I longer have access to the original email?
or are you saying that I can make an email then transfer the newer account to it and send my old account to the one that I'm using as my main email?
If that was your only link method, there wouldn't be another way to access it. You can try contacting support either on Google's end to get access to it or TGC support to see if they have a way to accessing it and attaching a different link method like FB or a Nintendo account. (don't need a Switch to create one, they're free.)
I'm saying make peace with your new account and you can assign a new google/Gmail address to your old account
But no swap, no exchange, no transfer available
If I read the message correctly, they used a deleted gmail on the old account. which means linking any new gmail is out of the question for the old account. TGC can't unlink gmails, even deleted ones.
Google might be able to restore it, I never went that avenue to know for sure.
so there is no way for me to update the gmail log in of my old account??
Due to how Google Play Games cloud save service works, no. That Sky ID is permanently bound to the other email. I don't know Google's account restoration policy, but that might be an option if you want to keep using gmail as a login method. You can try contacting support to see if you can use a different link method for that account.
Android supports Facebook and Nintendo account linking, also
thank you so much for the help @tame comet and @past arrow I'll see what I can ask of the support worse come to worse I'll just use FB to log in the old account thank you so much for the help 
If support is able to remove a deleted gmail, please let us know. Policies change all the time and that could have changed in the months since we last heard about it. 
Hello. I'm trying to get headphones. I've watched a few tutorials, but nothing works. I have an Android phone, I don't know if this can affect ...
The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky (as long as you're not wearing another hair accessory). You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! 🎧 (iOS only, due to limitations in Android hardware)
Thank you very much for the information! <3
To me, both third party app and google won't record the sound (?) Is that how it is?
do be sure to check the app settings and see if in-game audio is enable. from what i've heard, in-game audio recording is only allowed for android 10 and above
the third party app i use works fine for me

if you mean the controller, I haven't heard of anyone using it. android controller support is more linked with your own device's compatibility from what I gather. ps4 and xbox one controllers are generally supported on android 9+, but you will have to do research on the razer kishi for your own device first as a starting baseline. even if it works, the button mapping may not be very user friendly. would recommend trying out controllers you already own first
ok ty
Hey sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I keep getting connection errors. Are the servers under maintenance?
hi, sorry i forgot to press the send button last week. whoever helped me, thanks!
hello, my skykid sometimes keeps running forward and I can't stop it. do anyone have the same problem and how can I solve this? thx!

I again have a game that cannot log into my Google account
maybe you don’t have the setting that allows you to sign in to games with different google accounts enabled. check this guide to android account switching, made by Kai #android-questions message 
like that time, the game itself decided to enter, although I did not take any action, and I do not have that setting
Just happen to me when I was in Prairie, at the entrance of the temple it kicked me out, first everything turns white then kicked me out is that normal? 😭
Why high graphics is not available in my Device?
It's mediatek helio g88... It can run 60 fps
Can someone explain i appreciate it hehe
Hope 60pfs will be available in that processor too
60fps on sky is different from 60fps on genshin and so on. theres a variety of factors that go into the game determining if your device can handle60fps or not and ufortunately if its not available in the game under graohics settings then theres nothing the individual can do about it. sky is much more intense for phones to process than most games so the 60fps threshold is much higher minimum specs needed.
- Kai
You can also check the pins for a list of some gpus that can reach 60 fps
The Helio G88 is not capable of 60 fps. the adreno 618 can barely keep 30 fps consistently, and the Mediatek G52 MP2 inside the G88 is less powerful than it. (Adreno 650 in there for comparison of a 60 FPS capable GPU)
Looking at the benchmarks, I'm actually surprised the game isn't just a slide show on your phone...
Yess.... as a person who runs on a G52-MC2, it's not a slideshow(MTK dimensity 700/4gb ram) it runs at around 25-28 fps at default 30fps (the setting I use to conserve power) btw it does throttle a lot, could be Realme messing up optimization or its just hardware degradation
More than likely thermal throttling. for the G52 MC2 to get those numbers you claim, it has to be boosting for longer than it should.
Sooo.... It's from the game's side then, right?
The game asking too much of the GPU, yes. the G52 MC2 is pretty much the bare minimum for smooth gameplay. It would be like me complaining my old GTX980 not being able to run Cyberpunk at more than 40 FPS and wondering why it's fans kick in overdrive when playing.

I did hit 46⁰C once, had to close the game and turn on the fan of my room and go towords the balcony in the hopes it will cool down

There's an answer to your question right above your message. 
Is it just me or in-game audio quality sounds worse off on Android?
I see videos of people playing Sky on iPhones and iPads and the game sounds so much richer and better
But on Android it looks like the game caps down the audio bit rate to 16 bit or below that
Also it sounds like playing sound at 32 khz sample rate
It must be your device related aslo how the audio is compressed with the screen recorder of your device. (On my Droid with built in android 11/12 recorded the recorded sound is not that worse as you described)
(having iOS and Android with same account)
WTA... have anyone here using Mi11T pro? It can run 60fps high reso on sky, just curious, planning to buy second phone, my current phone only run 30fps high reso, picture not that sharp ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I know that it already overkill but not sure sky dev already optimize for that device
Can someone use sky in the philipines on android
Yes
Realme 8??
7
They rlly did downgrade performance for the newer models like realme 8 5g 🥲(my daily driver)
Urs is even cheaper than mine too, in my region
Okay you all need a list of 60fps capable devices? Includes Realme and all
#android-questions message credit to @sleek torrent
There are devices which I may have left out, but yes your phone isn't powerful enough for 60fps. But for the price it's a good deal, does well in normal day uses
how to fix the game? I have the whole game in pixels 😣the game broke after the update of the Flight season
This probably need a patch update to fix it, you can file a bug report in #bug-reports-android.
Hii Im sorry if i ever ask before but
(1)Why I can't use Google Play game in game recorder on my Android?
(Im using Realme C15, Android 12)
(2)Is there any tips for less lagging while Im using Android built-in recorder?
Sorry again for asking a lot
- it has always been bugged, use android 11 or 12 built in recorder for best quality, or any third party recorder which can record internal audio
- stronger GPU, which means better device
recording means the phone has to do 2 demanding tasks at the same time (tip: it has little chance but maybe helps: set Sky to battery saver mode and remove all hungry background apps like Facebook or voice chat, disable apps over apps feature too (like messenger bubbles)
No problem, your questions are always welcome
Screen recording and gaming are both very heavy tasks, Sky is a harder game to run as well, so the tips given by Tib are the best bets, the only way to have decent recording now is to either get an iPhone/iPad or buy a high end Android flagship, talking of like S21/Mi 11 Ultra ,etc
Oooh Okay! TYSM!! @past arrow (sorry for pings
)
Its my first birthday phone and iPhone are too expensive for me to buy
TYSM AGAIN!!

I don't know if anyone has asked this before, but tgc has mentioned something about optimizing the game's graphics on android? Like the maximum graphics settings. thanks! 
Maximum settings are not depending on optimizing but on phone hardware. 30fps is not even the same on 2 different phones because of how they can handle Sky. Sky's engine is written by scratch and it highly depends on GPU and less depends on ram or CPU like regular games. This awarded and praised engine very unlikely gets rewritten from its core. Sky Android is just a port. The best graphics experience is always on Nintendo switch . The best graphics experience with best smoothness is on iOS. Sky is originally written to iOS.

Heyo wondering if anyone got similar case, I just set my phone Display to Dark Mode in Settings; the options expand to integrate it onto individual apps yet Sky isn't on the list
It turned my 1st person Sky chat text to white font (on top of already bright yellow bar)
Also turned light to dark bar text from 1st person in the expanded text convos
Harder text legibility in general, does anyone know the fix?
🛏️ 
I need only high reso becuz the motion blur in the game makes me feel like im playing in 60 fps (only feel).. But the game is too pixelated to enjoy it my device [Redmi note 9 s/pro] sd 720g.6gb ram..
Read my latest 2 messages above (scroll up).
On a decent device you don't need high res just 30fps normal mode and the game will be stellar
Dark mode doesn't affect games usually. Sky has its internal chat function independent from system settings. You can ask for dark mode in Sky for text (and to change the many white flashes during area transitions, etc) in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived 
Turned light mode on my phone for the first time: they're the same.
Yes, as mentioned above Sky has its internal chat system. Your message is always cream white and the others' is always grey transparent background
Ah mine was like Skyla's too in Light mode, before I change it to Dark mode
Strange I have dark on both OneUI and MiUI and sky messages from self are black on OneUI and White on MiUI

Late to the question on this, but this setting on Developer Options will force dark mode to almost all apps. Maybe you have it toggled on for one of your devices and off for the other?
Helloo I would like to ask about why I can't switch my account tdy.... like when I want to switch to my another account, originally it would turn to the Google account I have and let me choose... but tdy it just disappeared😢😨and now I kinda frustrated and confused...what should I do?
The best option would be to utilize your built in "multiple user" feature in Android. It creates a separated space for each user account on your device. Settings - System - Multiple Users (or whatever your device OEM changed it's name to)
But in my phone have no such option....and I try to reload everything, it only gave me 1 Google account to access but don't let me to change to another. .. I have no idea sorry😨😢😢
Does your settings look like this instead?
No such thing neither.....why😨😨
But yesterday I can still do it so I so confused 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Using the Google Play Game account switching method has caused account data corruption in the past and is advised against using. The best option is checking what your device manufacturer changed the multiple user interface to as it's the only method to guarantee not crossing account data, especially since it's ill advised to have multiple accounts for personal purposes. The ability to access multiple accounts are only for shared devices, I.E. a little sibling or child using your device since they don't have their own to access their own account.
That is the problem...I have siblings using my account but on other devices, and that cause me have to keep sign in and sign out....and maybe crashed tdy...but I have no idea why I can't find the multiuser in Samsung.. maybe is it in other name of this brabd?
Yess! It's on for all apps on MiUI, sometimes weird things do happen in other apps
MIUI is so far from AOSP it's expected to have some features not work properly. 
Wait MiUI was Android? 🤯 🤯(obviously joking for anyone reading this later)
Always has been. insert space meme here
Yes but you can easily give it to a less tech caring person and they will surely say it's a different OS all together, MiUI may be heavy, but it has a lot of features for sure
I just never liked how many wakelocks are on MiUI and how many of them cannot be disabled unless you want key features to stop working.
The first party apps on these devices are sketchy 
Don't worry about owner account. That is the one you're currently using, you need to create a user account for your sibling to use Sky on your phone
The owner is YOU! 
Everytime i play on afternoon and and night time i always get this... it's not my internet problem too because my my girlfriend too we have same problem. How we fix this?
Btw this problem start from new year January 1 until now it's still not fixed.
I do know some global events caused an internet backbone breaking access to AWS. (The service Sky uses to house their servers)

talking about network problems, sometimes it's back again from ISP (Internet Service Providers) and their DNS (Domain Name System)
if you phone already got Android 9 (Pie) or above, you can find in settings - DNS Private and then choose the hostname column
there are some dns private that can "stabilize" the internet :
one.one.one.one
dns.google
dns.quad9.net
nb : choose one only then okay from DNS Private
Hope it can help others 🙏
Most android 7 or Up have an option to switch user
Since you also an oppo user I suppose, the changing user is on the notification with a green user icon. Tap it, and tap the "+" button and it will create an account and isolated from you Main.
But you might also need to reinstall Sky on that account
Affirm, as oppo's ui is also like that of realme (both are based off of the same thing, ColorOS)
So I have a question:
||Well I went through graveyard hoping that if I fly, Krill cant see me, sadly they saw me and I lost bit of winged light, because I collected everything I would like to find them again, is there any specific location where I can find them or I have to go through every real to check it?||
Lost winged lights are random. It could be one of the many (103) places a Winged light can be once you lose it.
Ah....
Maybe someone knows, what this orb is?
It is a shared space prop from a previous TS.
Oh... Yeah, right
Which spirit sells that prop? 
Playfighting Herbalist, iirc
Oh from enchantment season
Hello
Hi! Do you need help?
I don't see the last spirit at the valley of triumph
Can you tell me which spirit it is?
Wait a second, i take a picture
yesss this will help!
I can locate them for you! Give me a second...
Reminder questions like are better in #questions-and-help
At the valley of triumph, i know the position but when i come, the spirit isn't exist
Your missing Valley one is on the left side of the Citadel
hello fellow skykids I would like to know if samsung tab s7 is compatible with sky🙏 or is there any good android tab that you could recommend to me? thanks in advance for the answers✨
Your mailing Vault one, I don't blame you for missing. It's in a secret area on the first floor.
It's hidden there so I can't see it
Spoiler: Location of the entrance to a Secret Area of the Vault
||You'll need two people to light two diamonds on the wall at that location||
That's not the secret area...
Well, it's at least not a place that requires you to spoiler tag.
Well, I did anyway 
Also that's a seasonal spirit, not base constellation spirit
I thought the game was faulty and I want to play it again, fortunately I have you
Any further questions about the game you can ask in #questions-and-help 
(*though the creator(s) got credit on the image, I think they still ask everyone to credit in your messages)
👍
Oh, crap, you're right
IM WRONG, that's not the spiritnyoy want in Vault, I'll fix this
Meditating Monastic Location by Clement:
#seasons-events-chat message
Going back to the topic of this channel, someone ask about a Samsung Tab. Any android experts answers?
Hello! My game won't start anymore.. both live and beta😭😭
And I've checked my wifi, it wasn't the issue, I tried reinstalling it but the game just automatically reinstalls within 2 seconds without any waiting time like usual and I tried restarting device 😔😭
Try removing all notifications from phone notifications tray, restart device.
Remove all recently installed apps which may conflict with Sky
If that doesn't help: save your both Sky recovery ID and sync your account with Facebook or Gmail or Google - go to settings - apps - uninstall from there - reinstall
Oh! Thanku!
Tab S7!? That's one of the best Android tabs! You will be able to play Sky at 60fps on big screen. Make sure to not get S7 FE as it can't get 60fps but it'll be good enough if you're on a budget
I plan to get the new Tab S8 Ultra when it releases in a couple of months.
Hello
I have this spirit
But it doesn't working
I still haven't fine the last spirit
What do you mean it's not working?
If what you mean is you can't buy the cosmetics it's because the spirit is a past seasonal spirit so you have to wait until he returns as traveling spirit.
Ah I see they gave you the wrong spirit, I think what you meant to relive is Meditating Monastic. It's on 4th floor, you need to pray at the tombstone on one of the floating platform to make the spirit appear. The praying takes a while so you'll have to be a little patient
Here's a better tutorial:

Oh I forgot to tell, this worked btw ✔^^
I'm happy it worked for you! Please remember to turn off ping before replying to old message, thanks 
Ah sorry!
Hi! My sky keeps saying login error you may need to check you’re internet connection but my internet is completely fine : (
why can't play Sky?internet is working..
Oh wait wrong channel srry
Servers are down. It can happen before bigger Sky updates when things get organized behind the curtains.
Let's wait patiently until they will be back again. 
Hey, I have been wondering. I know that seasons in Sky won't come back, but I really like some cosmetics that seasonal spirits have, is there any way how to get them or are they strictly limited to season?
They can return as travelling spirits every 2 weeks. But a specific spirit to return has very low 1:59 chance every 2 weeks (for example dismiss haven't returned for 2 years). So it's better to focus in current and upcoming seasons cosmetics.
Ultimate gifts and Little Prince IAPs and sword pants don't return.
Why can't I log in to the game
What are ultimate gifts tho?
Servers are down
The items you can get from the Questgiver of the season until the season ends
Well, I hope it gets better soon.
Regular constellations have ultimate gifts too if you buy out every spirit of them except wing buff level 2 or anything above, they can be obtained anytime. They are also called elder hairs (simply they are hairstyles, one for each constellation)
Oh, okay, thank you for letting me know in details 
hello there is a problem in the server you know when its finished the server problem
its ||tgc office||
Yes, that is another secret area. The one I was talking about was The Archives which is a secret area as said on the wiki.
;-;
I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, the conversation that happened there the other day kind of frustrated me 
Hello, i can't get login sky
My internet is good but it keep saying failed
I already use wifi and it still same
I have the same problem
The conversation in this channel that happened previously says that the servers were down at some point. They may still be down!
Oh! I don't know that because I'm rare to play lately
Just want to login to see around
Thank you so much!!!!
Yeah, I'm unsure if there's any progress since then, sorry about that. You may need to check in again later on!
Okay, i hope it fix soon
Okayyy thank you 
The servers are down for everyone right now! Nothing you can do but wait until later
awww okay thanks for the info! 🙁
It's a big update time before the next season! Should be worth the wait for a smooth transition to the Abyss 
Is the server still down?
Yep, I just sent that message above!
i wanna play again cuz its been a year since i play
You unfortunately chose the exact time a big update was being done 
yeh
Is it down again?
Yep yep! It's been down for a while, and probably will be for a while longer! Might be big updates going on! Check back later in the day, or tomorrow if it's already night time
Already answered in #questions-and-help
BUT! If somebody comes here to ask "Is Sky down?", Yes, it is! No ETA for it being back up!
I can't breathe without sky, send help, 🆘 aaaaaaaaaaa!
。
Hiiii i want to ask i can't download sky cuz it's not compatible in my device, what the solution?

Were you able to download the game before?
If it's not compatible, then...there's not much that can really be done
If yes, then there’s some potential troubleshooting options in the pins. If no, there’s no solution as the device simply can’t run it at all.
yesterday i just bought a new phone because my old phone is broken, on my old phone i can still download sky but on this phone i don't know why i can't

Sky has specific system requirements to run it, which can sometimes exclude some devices because the device just isn’t able to handle the game
Sky is a sorta beefy game 

the clouds take a lot to render
is it possible to download it on web?
Noooo
Don't try to download this game on anything that isn't a phone or switch. Any other version is unofficial and will get you banned from the game
No, sky is only available officially through the iOS App Store, the Google play store, and Switch. Technically you can also run it on M1 macs, but there’s no way to download it otherwise
Mac, why you so weird
Ooh i see
It’s a new feature for macs - the M1 macs can download and run any iOS game/app (though they’re not specifically optimized for that platform)

@real token please don't discuss or encourage the use of APKs. Downloading illegitimate copies of the game is against the Terms of Service and could contain malware. 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.
It must mean so if the troubleshooting linked previously doesn't work 
Unfortunately yeah, your phone apparently can’t run it

Alternatively, if your device was made as recent as in this decade, I could also send you to the Contact Support page usually accessible in-game. You can ask if support can be given to your device or not
Why my old Samsung J6 can't run Sky?
32 bit
Idk
It is 32 bit
Using them breaks the game’s terms of service and you may be banned from the game
Still won't run. Architecture differences. It would crash before even launching
Thanks guys!
Report and move on
Guys, is realme7 6gb ram good for sky?
@fast hearth please do not discuss the use of APKs for Sky
Okay
Realme 7 GPU is weak, its ram is quite not important for playing Sky
It can run genshin at highest graphics 60 fps but not sky?
It has a budget GPU. Genshin runs on totally different means and Sky uses different engine
@topaz reef Tell that to the indian guy on YT
i only moderate this discord server. For youtube videos that violate Sky ToS, i suggest reporting directly to TGC Player Support
Yo i quit sky bye
why can't i get the new update;-;?
Kinda common. Clear Google play store cache or search for the app and see if the update is available (on the search list)
Like this
why i can not update the game(┬┬﹏┬┬)?
Sometimes a clear of Play Store data (do not clear Sky app data, only Play Store) and a device reboot jiggles some screws loose to have the update show up.
Same
please read above 
I can't update the game in android, I tried to restart my phone and still can't, is there any help for this (´;︵;`)
Oh my, sorry. I didn't see that, thanks bdw
Huwaaa still didn't fixed •́ ‿ ,•̀
(╥﹏╥)
search list? don't tap on the app or you'll make the update button disappear
also, do try the clear cache for play store as suggested
Before I tap the app it's still like "play" and I also tried to clear cache play store
Hmm maybe I should open the app First and see the app in play store
clear playstore data?
if it still doesn't work, then maybe the update hasn't reach you
I tried clear data too still no use,,, maybe I have to wait (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Okay then thanks for the solution
Oh I know why there's no update button, because I activated the Automatic update 😭😭😭
What's the size of the recent 0.16.0 update (MB)?
play store showed 302 MB for me.
got it 👍🏻 thanks ( im a mobile data user so )
Is there any way to record your screen while playing an instrument w/o the music UI? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but it's worth a shot to ask :c
Bayu? That's my brother name 👀
I also have that experience before. Next time if you can't update after cleaning cached. Try to see version number sky in the settings app.
Maybe, Google already do it on background
that incident make me go cry
I thought my play store was broken 😭
Yes
Hi! It tells me that I have to update the game and it will not let me update, I mean, I did not appear to update
Wait some time, the playstore maybe is running on IE bcos of the time it takes to inform users about the updates
I had to check the playstore 6 times before it showed sky in pending updates pane
hi i have a question I if I change from ios to Android will i still have my headphones?
They will still stay on iOS, it's a bit of a complicated issue with various android versions, so if the devs decide to bring that feature on Android, they'll remove support for Android 8 and 9 (thereby losing the playerbase using devices running those particular versions)
oh okay thanks
When will Android be launched with the same clean screen recording as iOS?
No one knows when things will happen in Live
Any Live announcements will be made in #news!
Can someone help me, I'm having trouble with a friend about the game, so basically she downloaded it her phone (android) and somehow when she enters isle of dawn the game crashes and instantly closes we uninstalled and reinstalled it but it's still the same :(
Is ther any way to fix it?
a bit late but no, unfortunately only ios can record without the ui afaik
why does google play store want me to free up three GB for a 300MB update

I reported a bug about it. But this is not the first time, this issue has also been talked about before. And I still haven't seen it fixed.
Idk why my phone can update Sky, but not my tablet. Any idea why?
Empty play store cache in your tablet and restart it 
The new Rework looks crazy good, is the game struggling more on weaker devices tho? Or did it get more optimised
Idk
But does anyone have the same issue as me that when I tried to entered somewhere, the screen gone white for a moment and the the phone got reboot?
It's a little better on my realme 8 5g, atleast in sanctuary islands where I usually get 12-13 fps now I get about 20-23fps. But the phone does heat up quite a bit
You mean the whole phone restarts??
Yes
Since the new update or before??
Since the new update.
!thatskybug report it . Maybe the new textures and reflections are asking too much or it can something else. Just let the devs know about this.

It could also have shutdown due to overheating
Could be a probability, there's another similar report right after the new update for the phone that Sashi mimiko uses which describes the same thing
@sleek torrent So regarding this, I compiled the specsheet of the devices facing the issue of crashing and seems like all the ones with Snapdragon 665/ Adreno 610 are those crashing as of now(Vivo Y50, Vivo U10, Vivo S1 pro, Redmi Note 8, Motorola G8 Plus, Motorola G8 Power)
Edit: new device added.
Hello! One of my friends is having trouble updating sky. At first it did not let them do it on the playstore app so they tried from the web but it did not work either. They deleted the app and tried downloading it again to see if that would work but it said it failed. Anyone know how to fix this issue?
The playstore should allow updates by now tbh, but installing from anywhere except the playstore might get things into trouble
just clear playstore's data and try again
So what I think is the new graphics calls maybe getting too harsh for the system to handle and may cause the whole phone to crash. TGC should've made these graphical improvements an option let's be honest 🥲
Thank you!! This information seemed to work! They were able to update sky 
Hi
Brightness adjustments would be helpful. It's way too bright right now and my phone is already at the darkest it can be.
I constantly have the issue of not being able to see anything but black. I guess sometimes that's how the game is meant to be played, but I'd like to be able to adjust it to see even a tiniest bit of something so I'm not getting as disorientated
Lags hella crazy in sanc and some places for a bit
So the way to solve is brightness adjustments, right?
Not necessarily brightness, but maybe the reflections and new lighting effects maybe causing this. Hence this should've been an option to toggle on or off
Mnnn
But maybe mostly hardware as there's 4 more models with the same cpu/gpu as yours that have the same issue
is it only me who saw this?
The creatures do have a mind of their own tbh
it's been like that more than 1 minute
Weird, but try rejoining the server and see
If it's still happening then maybe the manta needs to see the devs so tht it can get where it needs to
i left that area and it still hovering that way.
Looks like the manta seems to be a lil stubborn on that path there

what is the sky timezone?
TGC's time zone is PST in California
That's odd only Adreno 610 is exhibiting the issue. My SD670/Adreno615 didn't crash in the troublesome transitions, even while screen recording.
It might be driver related for that model SoC since the 665 and 670 are pretty much the same in benchmarks. (Less than a 2% gap in most situations)
I asked someone who's has a moto G8 Plus, and they don't have the issue, surprisingly
I think it's region-related at this point

Which phones support 60 fps (android)
@fast hearth here's a comprehensive list
Guys, did someone lag the game from recording a video? I had this problem after a game update.
It wasn't like this before
The reflections can make several GPUs hiccups, hopefully it will be resolved in another update.
It can be possible that your device was already at the edge of frame drops but with the new graphics features added it teacher the point where it starts to noticeably drop frames. Try a different screen recorder
No
I always have 60 fps
even during the recording I checked, there are 60 fps but there are lags
he said, it didn’t happen before, I have a fairly powerful smartphone
I also decided to check the record directly using the game
There are no lags using this method, so apparently the game for some reason cannot be compatible with the program that is by default on my smartphone
I have a built-in screen recorder
Guys hey, soo i tried to take videos with Android Samsung A52 , but it doesnt let me, does anyone have any idea why this can happen?
Sky cannot guarantee compatibility with all programs. Of course the rendered video will stay 60fps because from the 2 processes Sky is the app which is more intensive and Sky will bring your device to its knees regardless it's a bug or other reason. We are all players here trying to figure out what happens. So before saying no and reaction with unnecessary emojis, please appreciate the community information and take time to read and understand the message was sent to you earlier. As already mentioned, the new reflections in game can cause hiccups for many phones too. Your best bet is to report it as a bug in #report-a-live-bug to let the devs know your device is affected because in many devices it's not a problem at all.
!thatskybug - see below how to report it as a bug, in the meantime use any other screen recorder

But in my iphone it works, im thinking maybe there is something wrong with my android and i dunno how to fix it, just came here in case someone experienced it
This is not android support dear 
But android is only a port, Sky was originally written to iOS so Sky android more likely has bugs. If your screen recorder worked before, the best you can do is report it as a bug. There are more than 10000 android device variations, so if you let the devs know, you give a chance to them to try to optimize the game for your device.
Android had many bugs regarding screenshots or screen recording in Sky history, it's hard to optimize a self made graphics engine for so many phone types from scatch
Hello 
I'm currently deciding which device should I get between Samsung Galaxy S21 FE & Google Pixel 6 and I guess I wanted to ask if what could be the possible pros and cons for each device?
I would use it for Sky but I wanted to hear some technical views about the devices since I would use it for personal stuff, mostly. Also if possible, can it be expressed in sort of layman's term since I'm not really not that knowledgeable in tech. Thank you

Ahhh okay thank you, but i have no idea how to report a bug, becoznut never happened before, is thery description so i can learn how to do it?

Yes yes yes i just saw the video, thanknyou sonmuch
Hi! Both are very decent devices and ideal for playing Sky at max graphics (60fps compatible). I recommend to take both in hands, check their UI which you like better before buying.
Pixel pros: bare android (and they perform with Sky better than other devices with similar hardware) and their Google camera (there are countless Gcam ports to other devices for a reason) and battery life can beat even flagship iPhones in some aspects.
Samsung has top of the line camera too and some great advantages but in general Samsungs (not especially the 21FE) reportedly had more issues with Sky regarding graphics hiccups: Samsung more likely tends to overlook implementing proper graphics drivers in their Android updates and Sky heavily depends on them.
Because of the bare and more likely issue-free android and as a Pixel enthusiast I recommend Pixels! 
Please delete, that's offtopic here
Let's not forget updates. While I'm sure the 21FE will have some longevity support, it doesn't get as many updates as a Pixel would. (Less frequent) It's a good and bad thing. Do you want the once a month update reboot? I know some friends who hate that pestering and would rather get less frequent system updates instead. 
Why the update have not got the cape black and white tier 2 ?
Because white and black T2 are yet to be announced for live:) When it will be confirmed and released- No one knows
Just an fyi that anything you see in beta is never guaranteed and is always subject to change
Has the issue regarding the forced restart in some devices resolved?
!thatskybug - The only resolve is if you report it as a bug, otherwise devs wont to know which devices are affected and they cannot code a patch for them. See below how to report it as a bug

I already did that
You may try to tweak graphics settings or remove apps over apps feature like messenger bubbles
but no one reported that it was a solution.
If you crash at sanctuary try to approach it through wind paths and try not to look on big water surfaces. If it helps please be kind to let me know! Because my android phone is not crashing
None of it helping I already tried many things and tried many ways to get to some places like bird nest and wind paths but it always force restart and I went like 4-5 times already but still the same. Tho nothing of this was happening before update and not even a single issue regarding anything. But anyways thanks for your concern and help really appreciate
May I ask when you crash exactly?
Did you try with a friend by chance that they are dragging you and as soon as you enter you turn the camera upwards to the sky?
Is there s a way to get sky emotes in messenger (like in ios) ?
Hello, when I want to enter certain places, for example the Sanctuary Islands, my cell phone turns off, I have a Moto G8, I have never had problems playing, does anyone have the same problem?
!er
The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset happens <t:1642320000:F> (In 6 hours 32 minutes 30 seconds)
Did you know you can use the !edenreset or !er command in my DMs? Shorter cooldown there too.
Beacuse its GPU is not 60fps compatible, not powerful enough. Graphics processing unit is a component where manufacturers like cutting costs. Ram doesn't count.
This is due to sever chages happening
Def nope, I went through bug reports for the devices reporting full OS crashes, and seems like ones with the Adreno 610 gpu are having the issue
Hi i have a question
So when i first downloaded sky I made an account using one of my Google accounts
Later I deleted the app
Now that I downloaded it again it won't let me log in with the same Google account
Saying there's no sky account with that
I didn't delete my sky account and my friends still have me on their constellation
Any idea why?
I don't remember if I linked my sky account with Facebook but I definently used my Google account to play the game
Which android phones run 60FPS quality? I have Samsung galaxy A50 and my quality is only 30fps and I would like to have better quality... 😥 Is there any affordable options?
Although you linked the account to ur google, the default sign-in sometimes decides to be local acc sign-in (100% frustating at times like this) and hence may stop saving progress on its own. The best you can do is contact in-game support and hope for the best.
!support
Contact Player Support in-game: Tap the cog menu (top-right corner) ⚙️ → Tap "Support" → Tap "Contacting Us"

Excause me, I have a question

Hi
hello everyone I need your help I can't update sky
??? You were answered in #questions-and-help
you were answered in #questions-and-help, please try to look at the link the helpers sent to you and read it thoroughly, then try the steps listed (keep in mind those may or may not work)
You were linked to a possible fix, please read the link properly. If you were linked to a random message, that's just mobile discord being buggy. Restart discord and try a few times before it leads to the message. Or request for a screenshot of it if you can't see it
You even replied 'thanks' to the message that has the link:)
my phone isn't compatible with google
Yes, and you were linked to the instructions that might fix it
yes but It doesn't work
..what doesn't work? There's no way you did what it said in less than minute¿
I've spent 8 hrs troubleshooting and trying to get my Android devices to find the game on the Play Store and 2 hrs on live chat with Google support yesterday only to have them send it to their back end team. Not overly hopeful they'll get a fix for this issue 😦
This is what it tells you to do if you follow the link, please read it and try it for yourself:)
I know but I can't even get to the settings
All mobile devices have settings. You can't open it or?
oh I tought the sky settings
Read it carefully
follow the steps under My device was compatible…
What device and version is it?
okay I'll try again thanks
Both of my Samsung devices, one a smartphone A10 the other a Samsung Tab. Both are noted to be compatible with Sky when I researched.
Tablet is Samsung Tab SM-T510. Phone is Samsung Galaxy A10e, model SM-A102W
I may or may not have bought a Switch Oled at Christmas just to play sky 🤣
Is it odd that I just cannot place pipes in shared shapes? Any other prop is fine
both from my android phone and tablet
Is it greyed out? If so, you just need to remove some props to give space for the pipe. Shared spaces have limits, and each prop will fill the bar at the top, and how much it will fill will depend on the prop. Smaller props I think 'weight' less, bigger props will weight more and require you to have less of other props
Toast is right, BUT I had that problem too, even after working with the weight limit correctly. And it was a problem before the weight limit as well, the pipe simply not showing up in shared spaces.
So it's a bug, most likely.
Hi everyone.
Does anyone had blue wax after burning mushrooms in wasteland?
Ohh I think I remember seeing something about that ages ago, looks like it's still a bug then
this got added in the new update. wax that is located in water is now blue when burned
is anyone else having trouble doing trial of fire? cause i can't see the white candles, it's too dark and im 100% depending on the fire icon suddenly popping up to show me where it is
i have a feeling this ties in to the new update because it changed the lighting a little bit
my phone brightness was pretty good and i tried turning it all the way up. and the lighting of the room im in is ok so ee
It's a known issue
thank you gale 
My phone keeps asking me to free up 3.39 GB for the update but even if I delete an app the number doesn't change
