Do they both run well on a stock Flyer running Honeycomb?
Which should I buy (OK, which should I buy first...lol)?
LOL, 160 views and no comments?
Well, at any rate I do have an update to report: last night I bought and installed Shadowgun.
I haven't really had any time to play the game, but I can report that it definitely installs and runs on a plain-vanilla unrooted Flyer running stock Android Honeycomb. You need 250 MB of free space for the data download, which consists of 11 packages that download consecutively.
The game does run. I played it just about 5 minutes, so I cannot really speak to how fun it is or how well it will perform when the action gets hard and heavy. However, from the get-go you have a chance to kill two baddies and the Flyer handled the situation with nary a hiccup.
Graphically, this is a beautiful game. Can't wait to spend some time with it so I can give a fuller review.
I have dead space and it runs now since they updated it.
So fun and smooth that I'm on my third play thru.
Bought Shadowgun after it listed for .49 .... It's ok. Dead Space is better. I'm more happy with my Dead Space for 6.99 purchase than Shadowgun for .49
i did the same and installed them both when they were cheap... i'm on honey pot 1.1 and having a lot of crashes.. not force closes i get an error for those... instead these apps are just closing on their own it's like they reach a buffer overflow or something and they just completely crash... wish i could play these games like everyone else with out issue
I think the flyer doesn't have that much ram to support these apps/games... I was using the neutron music player and the player just closes by itself when there's not enough memory. So I guess it's pretty much the same for these games since their graphics are quite impressive! =)
Well if the flyers 1GB of RAM isn't enough, what devices would this play on?
Maybe the GPU isn't up to snuff, I can see that.

Now, admittedly I've only completed the first level, but I have encountered no problems or slowdowns with Shadowgun. Works for me.
LOL, looks like both these games are $.49 today. Get 'em while they're cheap, boys!!! (I know I'll be snagging Dead Space when I get home).

I don't think this is accurate. Both games play very well on the flyer/view. I'm just enjoying Dead Space way more.
Weirdly enough I agree and disagree with above post. While I have honey pot 1.1 loaded I've got loooads of free memory .... Like system tuber pro tells me I have over 500 MB free. Then I open flick golf extreme / dead space/ shadowgun/ whatever ... And quite more often than not the game will end up just closing/ crashing on its own straight to my homescreen no errors. So I've been trying to save the logs from when this happens... Its all pretty much Greek to me but I haven't seen anything about low mem in the crash logs. But. Idk what else it is either...

You were having problems with the Google Play store too, right? Maybe you need hard reset. There must be an app messing you up somewhere.

I play ShadowGun & have music playing through Winamp & don't get any hicups whatsoever! The in-game sounds are on que & frame rate is great. I'm still on 2.3 stock,just rooted.
Still need to get Dead Space though.
I've only tried Dead Space on my Desire HD, it's a awesome game.
I ordered a HTC Flyer yesterday, so i'm hoping to be able to game some Dead Space on it soon!
I've played Shadowgun almost half way through running LeeHC rom and everything has been smooth. No slowdowns at all. Have to say the gaming on my Flyer is so much better than on my phone because of the screen size.
If your having slowdowns check the running apps before launching the game and exit anything that might be dragging the device down. Also, I've always had good luck running Cachecleaner daily on my devices. Seems to help keep things running smooth.
I've been playing Dead Space on my flyer, and so far no issues to speak of. It's played pretty smooth so far, no crashes or hiccups. I'm using LeeDroids HC ROM.

Hi all,
Is it me or what. My 7 inch mediapad always have only ard 400k of ram even after just boot up. I used task manager widget to kill as many programs as possible but later some programs will auto run and use up memory until 300k left. Then some programs like PvZ which takes quite a lot of ram may not even start when in low memory. I noticed it can start when there is nearly 500K of ram. But if lesser then will start and then hang or never even start.
My tablet is only loaded with a few programs like pulse PvZ, sgnews, allbackup from huawei and kuaishou.
I flashed with latest official 301u firmware and it is the same with H.WMOD firmware on B005
Thanks
Is this common of mediapad or Android? My ipad is fine with many programs opening and not even slow down noticeably.
Any tips?
Are you sure that you r talking 300kB? Cos I have about 300MB free atleast all the time.

Sorry. I meant 300 mb.
I haven't tried PvZ, but all the games that I have tried never ran into memory issue. As of now, my free memory is 350MB.
Some heavy games that I have tried are ShadowGun, Dead Trigger, Modern Combat 3, Asphalt 6, Dead Space. My guess is the problem lies in the app itself. I can't see the game (PvZ) from my pad, but I can see it from my phone, so maybe it just not compatible?
I'm using a high end phone (samsung galaxy s3) clocked to 1600mhz and using siyah kernel. No matter what governor i set the phone to (even if it's only max freq), it WILL lag if i'm downloading thru torrent client. Not immediatly, but after say one hour. I have to stop the downloads/close the app to make my phone lag free.
My client is ttorrent (pro and lite have same prpblem), but i've experienced the same result with other clients (adownloader).
What the hell is the problem? I DO NOT get any lag when doing an html direct download, then why do i get any when using torrent clients? Even if one might say: your phone is frequently dumping cache onto the filesystem cuz torrent clients first make the file then they dump data on it, THEN i would answer: this happens if i download onto my phone, as well as on my CLASS 10 32gb microsd card. Also i have downloaded content from the web thru html direct with a download accelerator that made the file first, then dumped data on disk. I believe that this lag issue happening on a high end device is just insane!!! My phone is practically dead if i dont set governor to performance while downloading!
Any help? Anybody having the same issue?
EDIT: it might have something to do with the fact that after an hour or so of video streaming from the web the player (android stock) gets REALLY laggy?(along with the phone)

One hour? You should be happy m8.
This happens to me after 2 minutes. I need to restart te whole phone.
I tries EVERY torrent app available.
I gave up on torrents a long time ago with this phone.

Never had this problem with my s2.
It has been a downgrade in all areas except for the 720p screen and raw processing power.

That's too bad.
The s3 is a great device, it just needs some tweaking to be perfect.
Maybe it has something to do with the siyah kernel?

If the download speed is high, usually over 2-2,5 MB/s, it's normal, since the torrent client cannot write (flush) the data to the flash drive so fast. This happens on any computer. For example, this also happens on my computer, since I only have a 7200 RPM HDD and I download with 8.5 MB/s. This wouldn't be a problem if I had a high speed-write/read SSD, for example. Of course, if I allocate more RAM to the torrent client, it won't lag for a while, until the rest of the allocated RAM is filled.
So, this happens only when download speeds exceed the writing speed of the storage device. In our case, the flash drive.
lol why aren't your torrent files finished after 1 hour?
your sgs2' max download speed is as fast as the sgs3, which is why s2 didn't have any problems writing smaller ammounts of data at a time. look at your s2's dl speeds, then use your torrent to cap your speed to what your s2's is. that'll give you a true comparative. your memory card speed doesn't effect phones internal disk speed, which is where your system is.
personally, my s2 best torrent speed was 1.2mbps. my s3 can break 3, so even if the process can handle it, the internal memory can barely keep up, which shows everywhere else on your phone.
I don't think samsung bumped up the grade of internal storage coming from s2 to s3, just made it bigger.
does your torrent offer the option to save directly to external SD card? the torrents still run thru system unfortunately, but it will be less work on your internal that way.

Why in the first place you torrent with a phone?? =//
R: Torrent Client slpws down phone!
I'm going to answer all of you cuz since im a new member i only get to post once evry 5 mins-.-
Anyways:
We are not using sata disks, but flash drives. Solid state memory disks. They're VERY fast at copying. And my sdcard to which i usually download (but i have expierenced lag even if downloading onto phone memory) is class 10 (30mb read, more than 3 copy).
Also i live in italy, one of the continents with lowest download/upload speeds (can't imagine why), plus i live in an extra-urban area, so i get even slpwer speeds. 350kbps is the top of my download speed (sometimes 400). So download-copying problems are not the case, 100%.
Also the reason i download to my phone is because it makes it easier to have movies on the go always with me (i download only legal movies off the web
Also my streaming player lags when streaming, it's gotta have to be something conerning the samsung phone. Anybody on htc experience this?

So I know that the Note never lets you have access to its quoted "1gb" of ram and thats fine, having 722ish mbs to work with is fine. But recently after I did a TWRP system restore, my internal memory pool is now recognized as 620mbs. Now I would ignore this if it was just a reporting bug but the memory pool does actually seem to be smaller as multitasking has become awful with apps restarting every time I switch between almost everything. Any advice?
Might be the kernel. I haven't had that issue personally with my note. On my nexus s, I have noticed that it varies with different kernels

On my device it starts out taking up about 70mb of ram but continually grows.
To check, go to settings->apps->running->show cached process.
Please help me here, I dont know if this is normal or not. It goes from 70 to 300mb of cached ram usage in a matter of hours.

IIRC, cached process is for background apps that are still in memory simply because there is enough memory to do so. If the device is short of memory, these cached processes will be cleared.
Does the memory issue cause you actual problems?

Dolphin actually works for you? Well I'll be damned. Are you rooted or just straight stock?
The poster above is correct in what he said, the only time to worry about it is if it causes a device slowdown. If you're worried about it you can always go to the recent page and clear it out.

Thx for the help . I'm rooted. No, the browser does eventually get laggy when the cache size gets really high. I've set Tasker to kill dolphin when the screen goes off to reset the cache, which seems to work.

Using dolphin on my rooted Team Baked tab and have zero issues. Infact, hasnt been rebooted in a few weeks, and dolphins never been closed. Same 9 open tabs and smooth as butter.
Dolphin and jet pack on stock tablet z.
Best browser ever. Why should I care about memory 2GB is a lot
With my 2 bad eyes I can watch only one wide at a time and usually do not stream music from another at the same time.

Same problem on all browses on many devices at the moment for many people. It comes from a problem in android latest releases which is hopefully going to be addressed. Nice to be able to say that this device is not affected because saved by relatively large ram but others not so lucky with apps slowing down and freezing, one guy on another forum. has said chrome reached the heady heights of 400MB :-o

I am using Dolphin on my XTZ (non-rooted 4.1.2 stock). After a few hours of browsing the used RAM goes to 400-500 Mb.. And Dolphin actually slows down and sometimes freezes for seconds, so I have to restart it.
Lately I started using Chrome.. seems to handle better browsing for hours.

I love you. You have convinced me this issue is not a hardware defect or something (I dont know how rogue memory leaks would be a hardware defect but w/e). You also saved me from additional anger by factory resetting my tablet only to find the issue still persisting.
Gosh, I love this tablet so much despite its flaws, I really want to keep it. My last (5) nexus 10s would randomly reboot multiple times a day from the freaking system ui having a memory leak, and it took a year for Google to fix it with 4.3.
Anyway, turning off Javascript helps immensely. Still, after a few days, the browser is taking up over 200mb of ram, but it is a far cry from the 400mb in 2 hours that usually happens.
Anyone have any idea?

, do you Know if 4.2.2 will fix this when it's released? Sorry for double post.

As far as I've read on other forums here and other sites..... No! Latest upgrade to 4.3 on galaxy nexus has, if anything, made it worse...I tried it on a Gnex and can confirm that to be the case

Well that's just dandy. Honestly thinking about getting an ipad right now . Sure, ios is a bit more boring, but it at least works. Nexus 10 was plagued by a memory leak, and it was 8 months before Google for anything. Now I can't properly browse or use bluetooth, as that affects Internet.
