Help with getting angry birds to work please.

My phone (Evo) is not updating four apps, it started with the Battle Bears Beta not updating then I tried to install Angry Birds and it downloaded but did not install, then two more apps would not update. I tried restarting the phone, I pulled the battery out, and tried going over 3G and using the WiFis, and the apps still will not install. I really want both of those games so someone please give us help on what to do.

Installed it. Wouldn't get past load screen without crashing so I uninstalled it. Now if I try and install it again, I get a message saying the installation was unsuccessful. Anyone else getting this?
First and foremost.... what phone are you using?
My phone (Evo)....
There's your problem. Sell the EVO. Get the Epic :p

In all seriousness... Rovio is having a lot of problems getting Angry Birds to work on evos right now. You'll have to wait until they fix it.

Did you reboot the phone the first time it crashed? I did and it works lovely. There is a thread that already exist in the Captivate section that explains how to get it running on your phone without any rooting or hack.

Here is the link

I can't reboot and try again because the game wont install at all now. I have tried rebooting and reinstalling. Nothing works. I get installation unsuccessful every time. Does this happen a lot with apps and games, after an uninstall there are problems reinstalling?

And to the Samsung Epic guy- I'm perfectly happy with my Evo, Don't care for samsung devices and think sliders are lame. My two cents. :)

For evo and incredible users: Tap quickly on the screen with two fingers after launching the app, this should help you proceed into the main menu. It might take you a couple times but it will work eventually.

What I do on my vibrant is keep making a circle around the rovio splash screen and around the red bird, I have so far had no crashes getting into the main menu.

ugh, i had the same problem. it would crash on load screen most times. but if i kept retrying it would eventually work. managed to beat all of the levels....

anyway. now, this morning I got o install the update and it says installation unsuccessful. and it's also doing the same thing with fruit ninja. it's been driving me crazy all day. so i went so far as to do a factory reset. but, it still says installation unsuccessful for both apps.

so frustrating.

oh, I'm running stock unrooted froyo on an evo.

try installing 1 app at a time. wait till the app is downloaded and fully installed before trying to download the second app. I have been able to solve all of my install unsuccessful issue doing this, instead of batch install.

thanks. i tried that. i also tried clearing the cache and data (for the games, for the market, for anything i thought could be related). i tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them. i tried downloading the apk's and manually installing them. i even did a factory reset. none of it worked.

however I just got it working by unmounting the sd card and then installing them. i have no clue why that worked. neither app was installed to the sd card.

Unmounting the card worked for me too. I have an HTC Incredible.
