Wow I've had my phone for 20 minutes and I'm already thinking about taking it back because it lags so hard when I play.

well over 400 RAM free when I open the game...this is THE top of the line phone and my galaxy S smokes it.

And whats up with everything looking so GRAINY and pixelated?? Devs, are you aware of the performance issues with this phone??

I am thinking that the game does not take advantage of dual core processors yet eh?? :( So sad...Been waiting for the phone since January...

Thanks for the response Sam. I sure hope you guys can fix these issues. Once again TYVM.

Surely someone in the STS office went out and bought the bionic eh?

There are a lot of phones and devices in the world. It's hard to keep up with them all and also maintain a healthy clip of game development.

Excuses. I bet you guys haven't even bothered trying all the cheap knock offs on those China based websites! Sloppy I tell you. LOL

DROID Bionic has the same display as the x2 and is pixelated and "grainy" by design (supposedly saves power). Also, there are other threads on dual core phone problems in SL and PL, but this is the first thread that I have seen a response.

Bionic is supposedly no better than a Droid 3. I saw the specs somewhere. Only good thing about it is the battery life IIRC.

Sam,
I also just purchased a Bionic. I have the same choppy performance problem.
I also have installation problems. At first, it downloaded and started to install but stopped with an error stating that I don't enough disk space on the phone (odd since this was the first app I installed). On my second installation try it worked fine (or I thought). I played a little while and left. A few hours later, pocket legends disapeared from my app drawer and was not in my applications both in the market place and in settings->applications. I went through the same process of "failed install/good install/play/appdrawer vanish" several times. On my most recent good install, I checked the appdrawer and it was there. I checked settings->applications and it was not there. Then I noticed an app called "sts.pl" in the download section with a generic icon. I assume this must be it.
Not sure what is up here, just thought I would give you the details before it disappears again :)

ttt. Anyone else out there? I still cant understand why a phone with twice the processor and ram runs 1/4 as good as the galaxy.

Maybe we should start a list which phone has which issues.... like Xperia play 2.3 gingerbread, USA- pushing (L & R) buttons together crash app :D
we gotta help devs narrow each phone problems

I hope that since theres not many bionic users out there that this will not get overlooked. I'm having a really hard time playing maps in both of your games guys.

I bought the Droid Bionic..and yeah..there's issues with the gameplay. Lag even with wifi. Probably the processor? Ehh :/ On pocket legends.

I don't have a problem with mine. My ping is general around 167 unless I hop into pvp.
