Game locks when Tool scrolls in beneath existing T

[ghryswald]

If there is a Tool of any type on a row, and a new tool scrolls in beneath it (in the same column), when the new Tool becomes active, your game and device will immediately freeze.

To recover, I use the following steps:
1. Press power switch
2. Turn power back on and then hold power switch down until power-off dialog appears.
3. [cancel]
4. Wait a second or two. You will see the lock icon appear at the top of the screen, and seconds later, you're at the "desktop."

Restart AF and often you can simply resume at a previous game state.

I tried this a few times yesterday. But after I would resume the game, it would freeze up again. So, I learned to just resume the game, and then leave the mine right away so that I could at least save my crystals. Also, I noticed that the last time I tried to resume the game, that the yellow indicator bar (that shows how far you have to go to level up) had moved back to the beginning, so then i didn't feel so bad that i had to leave the mine and start over.

Is putting two power blocks on top of each other the only way to crash? Because that is the only way that it has crashed for me.

I think it's the only consistent way. There may be others. I've had the game reset my phone when entering the mine, however this has only happened once.

I really hate this bug. I've run into it a half dozen times over the past two days just as I am about to power up

I KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEMMMMMM!!!!!

no more power offs or ipods or anything just follow the steps

ok so i have the iphone 3g and i was experiencing the same problem with the freezing and not loading. Basically i read in an earlier post that it might be an audio problem and was suggested to listen to a song on the ipod before loading the game again...many people later posted that it still would not load after listening to music. The game does have a bug where the game will not load if it crashed due to an audio problem. It crashes when two tool blocks are on top of each other due to two different sound effects trying to play at the same time. Basically heres what to do....

Step 1: before you click on the game adjust your volume on the side of the iphone or itouch (either up or down, preferably both that's what i did)

Step 2: click the game and as it is loading ( where it says "takes about 30 seconds to load") adjust the volume in the same manner.

the game should load instantaneously. have fun
