Physics: Compared to PC build, impulse is stronger on Android

[willy]

As the title says, the "Apply impulse" force is stronger on my android device, when compared to the windows build.

I seem to remember this was fixed in a previous exporter build. I'm using this one: http://community.clickteam.com/threads/90467-Android-Beta-284f-201500801
Is there another build?

Strange... in my case the impulse never works on android, no matter what force value I apply, but it does work perfectly on windows.

Try this APK of the example above.
Tap to trigger impulse, if it works it may be an issue with the version of the exporter you are using?
impulseBug.apk

In my case the impulse is about 100 times stronger on windows build than on andoid device.

Like TacticalDogGames said,

On android impulse is much more weak than on Windows...

really impulse depends on devices and loops, that why for android and mobile i recommend to use speed, and only use impulse is certain situations that i will clarify with an example later.

Ok thanks! Does that mean the strength of the impulse will be different across android devices?

I think I found what the problem is. On Windows, the impulse is multiplied by the object's mass. Already on Android, it does not. And if you try to multiply the impulse by mass manually (expression), the application will be stopped, because when you use the mass function of the object on Android, the application stops. To fix this, I noted the mass of the object, I added this value to one Alterable Value and multiplied this Alterable Value by impulse. Remember that each object has a different mass, then write down the mass before and add it to one Alterable Value. I have already sent a message on Bugbox, I hope they correct these problems and I hope I have helped. (sorry for my bad english)

You have to adjust the apply impulse and force are slily different on both systems.
Just simply apply more force to the android version, adjust it till you get the same
result as the PC version
