near (Vita App) | Scanning local Vita chums for all dat Game Goods
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
The only mention to the parents control that I can see, is on Security, and when I click it, it lets me set a passcode.
Yeah this had me confused for a while too, set the passcode and then you can change the level setting (by default its not max).
Thanks. I did that, and it seems to work now.
Just to be clear: on the Parents Controls - Content - the lower the level, the tighter control.
But I seleced "off". OFF is better than Level 11. Correct?

the ones that are just outlines of feet are updates that happened automatically. It's in the '?' on the Out-and-About history screen along with descriptions on some other icons.

The majority of my near experience thus far:
-You have received 1 message
"hey bro how u get dat kratos avatar"
repeat 15+ times
-You have received 1 message
"hey bro how u get dat kratos avatar"
repeat 15+ times
You can turn off your PSNID when displaying near in near settings or you can change to some other avatar...

It happened me 2 times, both fixed it with factory restore.
But is a pain in the ass, because you lose all the near information. I hope that this will be fixed with a firmware.

Well I was about to ask if anyone had had issues updating Near, but it seems like a lot of people are having the same issue with it not updating. Is it related directly to replacing a memory card? Mine stopped working on march 15
Something like that. When near registers your location, there's a chance you'll receive gifts from others who registered at that location as well.

how do I post trades with near in uncharted?
Yep working great for weeks now i have the same error message. Its not even an issue with getting my location data it gets that right away its the sending it errors out on for me.
has anyone fixed this?
I found only suggestions of "restoring your Vita" e.g. doing a factory reset type of thing. But people say it works but later Near craps out again... :/

I've had the error has occurred thing since 2 weeks after launch. I tried a system restore, no dice. Thing's just plain broke, and no help from Sony.
The upside is that I cancelled my 3G service because of it.
Really pathetic. It's a great app, but completely broken.

Am I the only person that hasn't had a single error with near?
I wish it would only receive for games that I own, or have played.

At first I was really annoyed with all the locals trying to give me friend requests via Near, but I actually have a hot date arranged now. Anyone else have luck with this?

Helping with getting you some constructive criticism of course.
Just make sure to not post pictures, some guy did that last month and it was pretty creepy.

So I've finally got a Vita and am trying near for myself, and it doesn't seem to be auto-updating like it says it will. The Vita sat in my bag at work all day where it definitely could've deduced location via SkyHook, but when I got home and checked "out and about" it said I hadn't gone anywhere. I've got all of the "auto-update" options on, and am on the latest firmware. Anyone?
It auto-updates once a day. You have to press the circle near button if you want to update manually.

The auto update should happen every 30 minutes or so.
It'll record your place every 30 minutes or so if it finds you've moved, but it won't list it on Out and About until the actual update refreshes which is once a day. Or if you do it manually by hitting the near button.

How are people's near stats? Sharing mine via screenshot:
Send them a message and ask to borrow some >_>

Someone near me is playing RO and I thought my eyes were deceiving me since I live in such a small town.
Someone near me was playing that new Nippon Ichi game Special Report Division. Is there a demo or app on the JP store or something?
Edit: Ah okay, it was released last month.
New Jersey, lol
If only there was some kind of integrated messaging service. Oh well.
You can ! When you see a dude or dudette in Near (Radar screen, Discoveries, ...), click on his/her profile. On the top right, you'll see a group messaging icon. You can also send people private messages and friend requests.
You can swipe back to Near when you're done.
If you encountered these people in real-life, you'll also see the name of the street where you met them.
