Smurfs village Android update 1.1.4a was release
By
Smurfs village Android update version 1.1.4a was released yesterday by Beeline, this version is about Doctor and Reporter smurfs and animal Sanctuary. The update is live and ready for download from Google play for all users using Android: 2.2 and up. Few players are experiencing game crashes as well as the game freezes but these are common issues encountered by Android users who use devices which are not compatible with the game. If you are experiencing other issues please post them below to share with other players. With regards to the content of this update is similar to Apple’s release version 1.2.6 , but what’s new in this version according to beeline description?
- Invite all kinds of animals to stay with Doctor Smurf inside a huge new Animal Sanctuary! Squirrels and Rabbits and Mice, oh my!
- Visit Reporter Smurf in the village every day for the Daily Smurf headline and get great bonuses!
- It’s back to school on the island with new items including Brainy’s Blackboard, desks, and more! Build an outdoor school for the Smurfs!
- New Quests!
Soooooo many bugs! Sometimes my smurfs are invisible, sometimes they are just odd black shapes. I cannot see any of the menus properly, just more strange black shapes. Cannot play any mini games as they won't display properly, more black shapes…… please fix this as the game is unplayable
When are you going to fix the bugs?!?? I got the same problems like all of this people are having…. I’m on level 33… I went back to level 31 just to try if it would work… And it didn’t!!! So don’t try it…
Please answer me I have send in couple of message before but no responses!!

Beeline has a web form through which you can open a trouble ticket. They will need the model of phone you are using, operating system – android or iOS and your game device id which can be found in the contact support tab on your game menu.

thanks @-}–
The complaint form is a waste of time I did it two weeks ago and all they said was they are aware of the problem. So don’t bother with it they don’t care bout android users. We always get the updates hella later and they always have promo things for the apple version
Crops won't work on the island!!! I have a HTC Droid Incredible and the new iPad. Please fix soon!!!
Same problem. Crops only grow when youre on the island. As soon as you leave the island the smurfs go to the beach. Same with the Ipad (newest version on IOS6)
i have an htc g2 android 2.3.4.
I Never had a problem till Now!
I cannot get past the orange screen. I did power on and off and airplane mode so many times but it always crashes!!!!
I can see my saved games in recovery mode, but once viewing it, I hit the back arrow, and the game crashes.
I hope we get a fix soon. I was on level 49 almost 50 and spent a lot of $ on this game.
Same issue
I have the same problem how to fix it
I have the same problem how to fix it
Same issue! Please fix!
Same issue. Please kindly help
me too !!!! lv 30 on android
this update is very big bug…. fix beeline this android update
same mobile,same problem!
I have the following problems:
-crops on island don’t grow
-reporter smurf is stuck on the first day
-the zoom is working really hard sometimes
-the sanctuary`s roof is pink and one of the guinea pig`s color is light orange instead of brown(not a big deal but it annoys me)
-it crushes when I go to neighbors or when I return to my village
-tracker is missing for 2 weeks
I am soooooodisappointed in this NEW UPDATE! It appears to me it is a HOAX! I am going to stay off the island and out of the sanctuary until it is UPDATED AGAIN!!
Made a mistake in my last post. It was a regular smurf house on the island, not Slouchy’s house. I am building his house now, and though the documentation says that takes 24 hours, the time scale that came up indicated only 12. Will post back with what happens with that.
Also new bug on the mainland. I was thinking of freeing up a smurf to do something else and was about to pay 1 smurfberry to complete one field of corn. I didn’t do it because the confirmation that came up with the dialog box that came up to confirm showed “no” and “use 5″ as the two choices to press. It should only cost 1, not 5 according to the box that first came up telling me how many minutes my corn has remaining before it is fully grown. With all the bugs, I didn’t want to chance losing 5 smurfberries when it should have used only 1. I don’t know what would have happened if I had clicked the “use 5″ box.
If you have Hefty on the mainland the time is also halved at the island. Don't spend smurfberries on growing crops faster, it's a waste.
Oh, that’s cool. Something I didn’t know. Thanks!:)
Beeline really screwed up this update.
Just wanted to add, it is not only crops that stop progressing on the island, but also other activity like building Slouchy’s house or anything else on a timer comes to a stop.
I’m on level 21 since last evening. Slouchy’s house should have taken 1 hour to build, but is still not completed after 5 clock hours IRL.
I also have screen shots of the animal trails that grey squirrels leave after visiting the village. Figured I might need to pass those pics on to someone since I hadntt seen anyone with that particular problem listed since the update Saturday.
Im on a Galaxy Nexus and have never had issues until this new upgrade. The beeline orange screen appears and I hit play and it swivels and returns to my phone homescreen. It has worked 1x since the upgrade. I was excited to see the sanctuary — now I cant get in at all. I have emailed tech support and they were quick to email back but they recommended I power off — I did that as per the sites instruction (and I told them that in my email) Tried that 3x to no avail. Also read somewhere to switch to airplane mode — that didnt work either. I guess i have to wait to see if this fixes it self.
I have exactly the same problem,
Good to know I'm not alone.
Hope it will be solved soon because I wont start it all from scratch
I have exactly the same problem. I've never experienced it before.
What should we do?
same here on a Motorola Atrix, first it started normal, could even build the sanctuary, but didn't see reporter at all. Was also surprised that the ads are now visible after the game already started, and then suddenly i can't start the game any more at all. The little bugs we are probably all used to, like quests, houses and gardens, palm-trees and many, many more things disappearing, but this is ridiculous!
the new update didn't fix anything, it still is not accessible!
and btw, to say only a few people can't start the game because of devices not supporting the game is for one thing, not very nice and also simply not true! way to many people are complaining and how comes i managed to make it all the way to level 27?
if they would focus more on reliability and less on selling smurfberries, the whole experience would be more exciting and people would probably naturally buy more smurfberries anyway.
but having bought smurfberries and then the game doesn't work is extremly upsetting, because it feels like a scam!
I face the some problem. I have tried so many times to turn off my phone but it won’t work. Please fix this bug immediately. Dissapointed with the last update
I'm on a Samsung Nexus s the problem you have with me yesterday how to fix it
And now my game is as good as unusable. My crops on the island are stuck in time like the other reports have indicated, so the only way to grow crops on the island is to keep the game open. This sucks because even though the game is free, I spent real money on smurfberries, and the island basically does not work.
If you can’t grow crops, you can’t do the message in a bottle challenges to advance your xp. What is the point in continuing to play? The only satisfactory solution would for beeline to either push out an immediate bug fix or refund all the money they collected from players on the android platform.
in samsung galaxy 2, I can't openning the game.
i push on the "PLAY" button and it's crash.
I installed the upgrade on Saturday.
that is the same as me game wont open
i am playing on galaxy s2. i could still playing without any problem. but the crop on the island wont finish.
That is the same thing that's happening to me.
This update is not an improvement. NEver encountered so many bugs!! On Asus TF101 as well as on HTC Rhyme…
don t worry beeline got it
I feel strange that Beeline have already known all the terrible bugs from IOS version 1.2.6. But they still release this update for Android including exactly those bugs without fixing any things (although IOS already have one fixing update). Maybe they want all users should have the same annoying experience together ^^, IOS or Android.
Reporter-smurf went missing, time stops on the island when I'm not actively there, the game crashed once or twice, and i sometimes see letters instead of graphics (for instance, inside the bottle in papa-smurf game.) this happened both on my GF Galaxy i8150 and my Galaxy S3 (which, you'll agree, is strong enough for the game). this update is a disaster.
I have few problems – some was mentioned by other users:
- smurfs on island not working when the game is off – time stops or sometimes is longer than before closing (eg. in the evening was 1 hour 3 minutes to end of the building but in the morning is 1 hour 20 minutes)
- game sometimes crashes
- once I have all texts eg. time to end of growing illegible (strange black shapes)
- I don’t have Tracker since 2 weeks – on the last visit I lost almost all points collected becouse an hour before end Tracker event was restarted
- my red guinea pigs sometimes are grey but it’s not a big problem (in menu are red but in sanctuary are grey)
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S and my friend on the same phone have the same errors.
Seems that the bug is on the island coz' my tomatoes are still not ready since yesterday after the update
I'm on HTC Sensation.
I have a HTC droid and my girlfriend has an iPad and on both devices the time stops when trying to grow crops on the island
Hi, i have’m ios player. After installing ios6 and updating smurfs, i’ve lost my progress in papa smurf tasks ;( i have to start from zero. And also i’ve lost island, there is no ship. I’m at 26 level. Is there anybody with simillar problem ? ;(
Ugh, not only papa smurf tasks. The same with jokey and doctor (from sanctuary)
just recover your village,tab the small papa smurfhead in the option 16,times, select recover village, select the last date when tour ship still appear.
Game wont start on Samsung GS2 after latest patch. does not even get to Beeline splash screen. screen rotates and goes blank, then back to icons. No errors or anything. Have done a full reset and USB storage erase and it still does not work. ICS 4.04 (Official Samsung)
I have the same problem on android HTC Desire HD. The time of crop and palm tree is stoping,when you leave the game.
I have a Droid 3 and am experiencing the zoom out and island crop timing bug. From doing a bit of experimentation, here is what I've found…
The game actually has three "states." These are my names, not official ones. Open state is when you have the game running and it's on your screen. Minimized state is when the game is not on the screen, but still actively running in the device's memory. Basic state is when the full game is not running, but there is an active process that sends you notifications about stuff like crops ready and rafts returning.
Right now, the island smurfs will work when the game is in minimized state, but not basic state. You can tell the difference between minimized and basic state opening the game. If it takes you directly into the game, it was in minimized state. If it shows the Beeline logo and takes you to the start page, it was in basic state.
When you press the home key, Android will put the game into minimized state. If you use other apps and the device needs to free up RAM, it will put the game into basic state. The more RAM your device has, the less likely this will happen. The only way to keep the island smurfs working for sure is to let the device sit with a minimum level of interaction so it will stay in minimized state.
Hope this helps a few people who are also experiencing this frustrating bug.
I cant get to my village at all the game just crashes cant do a reload either i have a droid RAZR
Me too crops don't grow on de island,,, arghhh!!! Samsung galaxy note
same phone same problem.it’s no use going to the island anymore as the crops don’t grow when the game is off.
I am having the same issue with my NexusOne. The only time the timer counts down on the crops, is if the game is running. The timer doesn't decrement between sessions. I noticed that they just submitted a fix for this for iOS users, but somehow it still got to us.
me too! i'm playng on Asus Eepad Transformer and my crops on the island grow only when the game is running. The timer doesn't decrement wheng games is off. *£%$@$&$%&!!!
My village opens ONLY sporadically. Just often enough that think it is safe to plant some crops. But 9 times of out of 10 they then wither because I can't even open the dang app. SO INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING!!!!
This has been a terrible update. I'm on a thunderbolt, I can't open my smurfs past the menu screen!! What the heck!! How long is this going to that to fix!!
hi!
i play smurfs village on my android tablet and i ve been a big smurf fan for a long time and i usually don t have any bugs with oncoming updates, but this time. On both island and mainland i can t zoom out completely to see to whole vilage on my screen (i did increase my vilage once using smurfberries), I got a message in a bottle quest yesterday for 4 days and something, and today when i wanted to check it, it showed one hour and something remaining to finish the tasks. After the time run up i thought that the bottle disappeared but i can see it when i travel back to the island in the sea just furtjer from the beach, waaay further. Didn t try to play smurfettes game since i read the reviews and i m scared to try it
Another thing is, until now i used to use this "shortcut" when traveling from my island to mainland by hitting the button in lower left corner and than tapping my village. It would save the timecoz it s way faster than by ship, but it s not possible to do that any more. Any idea why?
thanx,
I cant download smurf,on my Xperia.why?
My smurfs are no longer watering crops on the island, bottle quest time nearly up. They did not water overnight and are now on strike. Thought the update yesterday was to clear these bugs? Or is this a plot to make me buy the smurfberry/clockwork deal as my quests won't earn me pieces in time?
I’m having the same problem and my painter smurf game is showing garbage, I can’t do anything. Droid incredible 2.
Yes having the exact same problem, please hurry up and fix!
Have the same problems on the Island crops do not grow! Samsung tab 10.1. Android.
Another really cool bug (not really) that was introduced in Saturday's android update 1.1.3A is that if you are growing crops ar the time you play Smurfette's sunbathing game, when the game is over, your smurfs walk away from your crops and time stands still. Leave the island and exit the game, and when you return, the smurfs return to work. So far exiting and returning has worked. We will see how long that lasts.
And it seems that there are animal trails/traces where an animal from the sanctuary who visited my village left all over the green "grassy" area. It won't go away. I hope that it isn't some secret thing that will crash the game. I tried moving it, but it won't let me move iit.
Update, after rebooting my phone this morning, the phantom animal trails in the mainland of my game seem to have disappeared. An animal from the sanctuary visited my village today and didn't leave any other tracks/trails. Hopefully, that was a one-time thing.
The update version 1.1.3A was pushed out to android on the 22nd, and it wreaked havoc on my system. The minute I added the sanctuary and attempted to use it, I lost my game and had to recover to a previous level. Not only did I not receive my 1 smurfberry from jokey, but when I restored, it gave me withered crops on which I had to spend a smurfberry to restore or be out all the money for 39 crops of golden corn, and several more times the sanctuary has malfunctioned. It gave me food but lost an animal so every 8 hours I got zero xp. That was fun, NOT.
And when I open the game, it is a crap shoot as to whether the game opens or I get the black screen, or it partially opens until I hit play and then it crashes. How much effort is it to put out updates that have been tested.
It may be a free game, but the smurfberries cost real money. Beeline was no help the last time I wrote them about the game mysteriously losing smurfberries . I doubt they will refund my two lost smurfberries from yesterday's ordeal.
I have the same problems to. I am trying to grow eggplant and it takes now already 2 days!
I Love the sanctuary, but the bugs make me not happy…
The last release was pretty stable on my droid 2 global. This new release I was able to play yesterday and part of today and now when i click the Play button, the game crashes to the desktop. Tried restarting my phone multiple times but it keeps crashing to desktop when trying to load the village. Any suggestions on how to get around this one?
Galaxy I9300 – game freezes after i hit play and crashes a few seconds later
got same problem as you mate
I'm experiencing the same island time problem, I think they have lowered the camera zoom level and eliminated the anti-aliasing, some quests doesn't works properly, and now I have a useless invisible house in the main village… I hope they patch it quite fast, the Italian Google Play reviewer are quite desperate for the island issues.
I can not log online. says my friends need to update, but we both updated at same time.
I’m having the same problem where crops/building has not progress unless app is active. I have a HTC EVO 4g LTE.
same problem on galaxy s2
Sorry but I have to insist: WHAT HAPPEND WHITH TRACKER???!!!! I was hopping a solution with this apdate. Somebody knows something?
I have a 10.1 Galaxy tab and I am also experiencing difficulties.
Crops on the island only grow when I am on the island and I can no longer shrink down the screen size to see the village top and bottom. Tracker smurf is still not working properly. Still stuck on Grouchy smurf tulip quest.
Hi! I’ve updatedsmurf village to latest version, and now the app want start. I can reach the “start game” page, but when I try to load my village, the app crashes. I’ve tryed to recover the village from option screen, I can preview the village but if I try to recover it, the app crashes again. I’m using an asus transformer prime TF201 with Android 4.0.3. Please, give me instruction about how to recover my village. thanks
hi i got the same prob. but i got it on my htc sensation xl and i am on level 42 it suks
mine does to i have to turn phone off and on i hope they fix it
Same here…..can not load game at all
Same exact thing with me i have the DROID RAZR
I can’t open or update my app on android, HTC desire s.
Really frustrating as have been playing since it launched and am on my fifth village because its crashed & deleted so many times … But at the mo it won’t open or let me upgrade to the latest version! Is this my phone, the app or both?
had the same experience twice, on android ver.1.0.8a and on 1.1.3a. sadly, beeline was unable to fix the bug no matter how many times i reboot my tablet or how many times i update to the latest version. if you really enjoy the game, the only recourse is to uninstall and then install again. lucky if your device can save data on the SD card, then you'll have your same village back. if not, you'll have to start all over again just like me.
The same with me – island crops issue. I've also noticed zoom out issue – it does not completely zoom out to overview the whole village from the up top trees to the very bottom as it used to (i have one land expansion southwards).
I use SonyEricsson Xperia Arc.
Same problem, I am using an iPad-1 and crops only grow when the game is active in the decide.
Sorry i speak bad english.
My big problem on island, !
I see three raft and i cant choose, nobody.
Sorry but I have to insist: WHAT HAPPEND WHITH TRACKER???!!!! I was hopping s solution with this apdate. Somebody knows something?
