So

I'm getting an error code 0x80820002 when I try to install discs to my console, any already installed will load first time no problem, the drive does make a grinding noise as such just wont get up to full speed will I need to replace the drive?

:)

 

So this smartglass thing...

I tried smartglass on forza horizon, but it didn't disable sleep mode so it kept going off after a few minutes and I'd need to restart it. It was better after the update, at least it disabled sleep mode, but I stil found it easier to navigate by the on-screen map rather than the smartglass one.

If Forza 5 has smartglass connectivity, it won't be the same as the Horizon one as there is no world that you need to drive around. I'd love it if they allowed you to do the car paintshop via smartglass. That way I could while away the hours on that whilst watching telly or sitting in the garden

If they manage to bring something along the lines of Rockstar's social club to smartglass, that would be great.

 

So this smartglass thing...

They are releasing a dedicated app for BF4, but I haven't seen the platforms or a date announced yet and the current Battlelog app has never been released on Android. I tweeted the BF account to ask when and what platforms, but never got a reply.

The iOS version is a bit better than the Android version of the current Smartglass app, for example it integrates Halo 4 stats content that you can navigate when playing that game. I expect them to release a new version to coincide with the X1's release. We'll have to wait and see if Android is short changed again.

 

Grinding noise is not normal, there shouldn't be any noise at all. The ideal option for it is to send the console for repair that specific part affecting the issue. You may want to contact support for more options or if considered repair beforehand you may
go to myservice.xbox.com.

Alternate option: Hard reset/ Unplug and re-plug process

Cheers!
