- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches Hi Beth, I was having a similar problem and my resolution may fix this for you too. The short answer is that installing the new release fixed it. I answered in more detail here. Happy flinging.https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-2-update-adds-a-new-chapter-fluttering-heights/
- Angry Birds 2 Update Adds a New Chapter – Fluttering Heights! Hi everybody.I ran into a strange problem with the new release that someone else might learn from.This was on an android 4.4.2 Samsung Galaxy 2014 tablet. I had specified "no automatic updates" for AB2 and did not know about this new release. So today I tried to fire up the old release 2.2.1, spectacularly unsuccessfully.«1» *IF* my android tablet was connected to the Internet *THEN* Angry Birds II v.2.2.1 hung, every single time. Not crashed, hung -- that "connecting" screen never dissolved away into pink clouds. {Although I could have sworn that I heard the sound of a pig's squealing laughter, off in the distance.} «2» On the other hand *IF* I disconnected the tablet from the Internet *THEN* AB2 fired up quite politely.The fix to my new, bizarro problem was to install the new release.Apparently the software on my tablet needs to upgrade to 2.3.0 in order to talk to the new 2.3.0 server software Rovio now use on the Internet. ??{Or maybe Rovio decided to give me a hard time because I insisted on sending them over 30 crash reports for the approximately 200 crashes that I endured. Each one of my crash reports embellished with a specially crafted message letting them how much I appreciated the wealth of crash gifts. God! I hope they fixed that.}
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches Does anyone know how to document a problem (in Angry Birds 2) by creating a video clip in Android?This is a new problem for me, it never happened during the first 85 levels or so. When you pull back the slingshot, the dot path trembles, shaking, up and down. At first I thought it was because the level had strong wind, to increase the level of difficulty. Now that I have lived with it for a while I do not think that is the case. In particular, I went back to earlier levels and the.path shakes now but it did not before.Does anyone recognize this problem? And, hopefully, have a resolution?Is there a way to capture video in Android? I know developers. I can forward information about my hardware and describe the problem , but it is really not enough for them to figure it out. Their first, second, and third concerns are always "can we duplicate this?" How can I help them with that if it has changed over time without a video clip?Thanks for any help, I appreciate it. This is especially frustrating in tournaments!
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches That's not a bug that is a feature. :)Yes this is real, you are not imagining it. No, it is not your device or your Internet connection. In fact Rovio doesn't have enough server power, especially just before and after the end of a tournament. If you do a search on the forums here at angrybirdsnest (which apparently you have to do using a Google site search -- I would love to be wrong about this, if I am please correct me), you can find several posts about this problem.So keep trying. If I keep trying and I don't connect after about the fifth time, the likelihood that it will connect is about zero and I come back later. I always finish up my tournament work about an hour before it ends because of all of this.
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches Somehow this software tangled the sequence of my posts, hope they makes sense.
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches That is funny. I thought about the exact same thing, going back through and trying to present myself as a different sense of humor.
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches Ahhh. I get it. Another person who's wit is so dry and wry that it can be mistaken for something else. I got into trouble here because I wrote a piece of humor and someone took it literally and threatened to kick me out. Nice to know that's not your bent.
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches First let me apologize to any of you who live in Los Angeles. It is not fair that Rovio ends tournaments at 5pm PST, while you are still at work, so that you cannot get in a few last minute flings before it ends. But even with that handicap you do score much too high, making it very difficult for poor gelfling to rise to the top of that ladder.For a reality check, I went out to test my sense of humor to diagnose any humor pathology and see where it is coming from. (Others here may enjoy taking it as well, it took about five minutes with no obnoxious ads.) According to that test, I have a "laugh at life" sense of humor: "Life is too short to be serious all the time. So, if you can't laugh at yourself, call me, I'll laugh at you!"@jwgardenwiz, I hope that you take any remarks that I make in the future with two grains of salt. My humor is rarely literal, frequently dry, and on the dark side. I would be interested in what type of humor you have.
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches @jwgardenwiz - just checked, it is still down . I think that we should exclude all flingers in Los Angeles from the the last hour of the tournament - they are overloading the system. They score too high anyway.
- Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches @jwgardenwiz. Maybe this is something I have been watching all week. At 5 PM Pacific standard time it clogged almost every day, with this error message. But it cleared up within 5 to 10 minutes. 5 PM PST is when the tournament closes on the West Coast.
