    @TaoOfSalad thanks for your response and your workaround.

    But I think a reset scene is not really an alternative for me, one the one hand I have created the one scene scenario to avoid any loading wheels (which will occur if I use reset - that's no big deal but really unsexy)
    On the other hand all progress of the current game will also be reseted. I want the player to switch around the different menus without loosing scores and stopping current active games.
    Maybe the Tizen guys won't notice the back button thing...
    I have to wait till you fix that engine bug.

    Meanwhile I think, the Tizen incentive is every dollar worth, thinking about the hard struggle to port iOS games into proper working .wgts

    Any idea why a "add row to table" behavior will stop a game in the emulator?

    Confirmed as engine bug. Fix in next release.

    When you publish a tizen game with special characters in it, (I had an exclamation mark) when building in the ide there is an error generated and then you can not transfer to your emulator. Once I published after removing the ! at the end of my games title I could build the wgt fine and also transfer to the emulator with no problems.

    @beefy_clyro - Thank you!! I had a "-" character in my app name. This fixed my problem.

    @BobD No worries, glad it helped. Hopefully @TaoOfSalad can get this added to be sorted :)

    Yeah apostrophes don't work either, by the way.

    @TaoOfSalad I got an app which uses the accelerometer that just got rejected by the Tizen App Store ... I thought the reason was going to be something to do with the accelerometer but it wasn't. The rejection was due to the device going to sleep as a result of no touch.

    Is there a way for you to issue an update to force the app to keep the device on and prevent it from going to sleep which can be selected when we package Tizen apps ???

    I think this issue will affect all games which use the accelerometer.

    Please find below the official reply from the Tizen App Store Team. Thank you ;-)



    1 2295345 4 [Performance Error] Application goes to sleep mode even if it is executed without touch


    The application goes to sleep mode even if it is executed without touch.
    * It's not able to attach the video and log files because the device is not released yet.


    1. Execute the application
    2. 'Tap to continue' > Select 'Back' button > Select Level
    3. Do not touch the screen
    4. Check whether the application goes to sleep mode


    The application should not go to sleep mode because the user wants to execute it without touch.

    Hi,
    I have added a back button rule with every scene except the first scene by using touch press command but still i can't terminate the game from the simulator.
    I am getting the bellow error.
    Unable to go back by the BACK key.
    * It's not able to attach the video and log files because the device is not released yet.


    1. Execute the application.
    2. Select 'Start'
    3. Select the BACK Key.


    The application should go back when the BACK key is pressed.

    please help me if anyone knew the solution.
    thanks in advance.

    @eliteapps your rule condition needs to be - Actor receives event : key : "back" Keyboard is down - for it to work and use the "Change Scene" action in your rule.

    Mini update: We're planning to get the next Tizen build out next week that will address the known issues and bug reports. In the meantime, we want to communicate a few things:

    - Letterbox is no longer recommended. Tizen may reject apps for letterboxing. Use stretch instead. Overscan is still an option if your game is designed for it.

    - If your game uses the accelerometer, wait for the next build before submitting. In the meantime, if your game is landscape, we strongly recommend you update your accelerometer logic to work for both Landscape Left and Landscape Right.

    - We've made a few updates to the Tizen Cookbook page, most notably about image and sound formats.

    @TaoOfSalad Thanks for the update. Any update on the device going to sleep due to no touch issue ??? My accelerometer app got rejected due to that and my guess is that others will face the same issue. Keep up the good work. Cheers ;-)

    We've come up with sort of a temporary workaround for this issue because it's the kind of thing that differs so much for every platform. Basically, you're going to need to edit a few configurations in the Tizen wgt file. We need to get the next build out first and then we'll put together a post that describes the additional steps to enable the force-screen-on feature.
