Does anyone else have accelerometer issues while playing either of these games. Mine come and go. Sometimes the turning in Raging Thunder 2 and the aiming in Homerun Battle are smooth and responsive, but sometimes (more often than not) they are choppy and unresponsive. In Raging Thunder 2 sometimes it feels like it doesn't register that I'm tilting the phone until I get past a certain angle, while other times the slightest tilt makes the car turn. It's really frustrating and I can't seem to pinpoint why it does this on and off. I've tried reinstalling both games and also rebooting my phone to no avail.
This has been posted many times before. Just download Android Sensor Data from the android market and let it do it's thing. Then go back to your games and the accelerometer should work like it's suppose to. I don't know what the app does, but it seems to fix the issue. Every time you boot up your phone, you have to run this program. Hope this helps.
Thanks! ! I'll give it a try.

I've been having a very strange, but rare, problem when running 3D games. It seems to only occur with certain kernels. I have no idea what else could be causing it. It has happened to me only three times since I got my Vibrant in Sept, but it's pretty scary.
What happens it's kinda hard to describe and even harder to reproduce. When I play any relatively heavy 3D game the phone performs flawlessly then randomly freezes completely. The soft-key lights still react to touch and turn off normally, but I'm unable to restart by holding down the power key for 15 seconds, leaving no choice but to do a battery pull. While this is happening, the screen (frozen in the game) starts to present very bright thin horizontal transparent white lines. These lines will keep appearing until they cover the whole screen. In the end it looks like the screen had lost all colors except shades of green and the rest has turned white.
This has never happened with 100% stock, stock+Voodoo kernels, Bali, or Overstock (didn't OC). It has happened, if I remember correctly, with Dragon (didn't OC), some other kernel I can't remember, and, just now, with DragonMODz SSSJ (OC'ed at a mere 1.1GHz). Maybe it's a problem with OC-able kernels only? Maybe it has to do with uncapped FPS? Maybe it's a simple problem that is all over the forum, but I couldn't find it?
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I think it happened to me too but im not sure... what rom are you using??? And i'd suggest you to use trigger wit the kernel called BULLET flash those and your phone is goin to be super fast... i play 3D games on my phone and i dont have any issues so far so i'd suggest u to flash both kernel and rom and your phone should b faster....

I'm currently on Trigger with stock KB5+Voodoo kernel. I've tested it with hours of Asphalt 6 and Gangstar 2 and didn't have any problems so far. I'm still not sure what causes the problem, so I'm not gonna go adventuring with OCable kernels just yet.
I've had my S2 for about a week now. Since day one in the settings menu the gyroscope didn't want to calibrate. It didn't move, either.
I've played NOVA HD using the gyroscope controller - which sucked. It kept moving on its own. It seems to highly favor the upper-left side.
Also tried it on some kind of a cube app from the market that uses the gyroscope as the controller. Same issue, I think?
Don't know if the tests were all right. Not my specialty. Try to compare your own experience with mine. See if it's a widespread issue.
I've made a video of the issue. The game is unplayable because of the movement that's out of your control. It's like the occasional mouse issue where it get its own brain and starts moving around and you're annoyed as hell feeling helpless. Or rather, it's like you trying to control a heavily drunk Sims character. Or your family member. Whatever.
Video is in HD, give it a few hours to appear in 720p.
The gyrosensor calibration does not move, and never did for me. Second, did you try playing in a different location? Magnetic waves can interfere with your phone's sensors.
Seems this problem only occurs with NOVA, that coffepot thing you showed before doesn't suffer from the weird spontaneous movement.
Different locations - same thing.
I haven't seen any fixes to this problem but others have reported it, and since it makes the game about 30% less fun I wanted to see if anyone had found a solution.
Basically, the problem is that most of the time, if you run (which involves touching the left side the screen) while looking around (touching the right side of the screen), when you stop the right touch your character stops and you stutter/can't move for about 3 seconds.
I've heard that this also happens with Grand Theft Auto III on Evo 3D, but that it DOESN'T happen with other high-end games. Also, on at least two occasions I'm pretty certain this problem DIDN'T come up--the game allowed multitouch with no problems whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced this? BTW, I'm running stock.
When I turn corners or aim down sight its really slow even after I maxed out the sensitivity in-game.
This leaves me at a huge disadvantage, for example I'll see someone on my screen and try to turn at them while they're running away and my crosshair can't keep up.
It's really annoying and I'm wondering if theres a way to fix this or if so is there anyone else there having this problem?
Just curious because it could either be that the game has only just came out or it's my controller/device.
I'm using a
Nexus 7 2013 stock 4.4.4 root
Sixaxis app with BT Genuine PS3 Controller
The game just sucks! How many FPS are you getting (check with FPS meter from play store) if you've low fps,it'll eat you alive.
We've to wait until gameloft update it with increased sensitivity. Sensitivity is just so damn low even at highest! I'm also having problem with controls, it sometimes struck! I needs to lift all my fingers from screen for 2secs before I use game register my touch properly (i'm dead before I could touch my screen)
On iPad ,there seems to be no issue with sentivity, people seems to 360 with single swipe easily!

Yup. He's right. The game is ****. Plus the servers are so overloaded. I am from Pakistan and I cannot connect. I have to use vpn.
I am gonna stick with Modern Combat 4 until the f***ing game gets fixed.
Real issues with this recently. Love the game and been playing it successfully on my tablet for over a year. Recently when playing the touch screen is not behaving. I drop a troop in one corner and heal spell gets dropped randomly elsewhere. I click on the screen and it zooms in and out sporadically. Hold down your finger to train loads of one troop and I end up with 5 different troops. It's a mess. Can't play the game. Tried to do a raid select a troop and a different one gets put down somewhere else.
Sent this away twice to be repair and they say the is nothing wrong with touchscreen. Any advice?
Samsung tablet 3 GT-P5210 thank you
I have a similar issue with Clash of Clans and Portal Quest (the two games I play the most), but it seems intermittent to me. I close out the game and start over and it works for a while (generally for a good hour or so but it's been as short as a few minutes). I assumed it was a bug in the software somewhere since the games generally works for me, just have to restart the games occasionally. I've played the same two games on another tablet without issue.
