Any updates on the audio problem that crashes games? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed Star Legends in my galaxy s2 (great game btw, try it) the problem is every now and then the game just freezes and crashes back to main screen. This would be annoying in any game but it is specialy annoying in a MMO like star legends because it kicks you out of the current session and you cant go back in to the same one it seems.
I did some searching and I found out that the galaxy s2 (and maybe dual core phones in general) have some problem with the way the audio is implemented by samsung or something that makes it crash. So far the guys who make star legends have pretty much said that they dont have an S2 at the moment and wont be fixing it until they get one and see if they can.. and that samsung should fix that on their part.
I am using the latest villain rom with the latest Ninphetamine kernell (2.05) and everything else works so good it is not even funny, this phone is the best phone in the planet by far except for this little bug that really gets on my nerves.
Is there any alternate fix for this? Thanks! (I already tried lowering the volume and dissabling sound in the game completly, it still crashes from time to time)

Guess not

I'm curious as well.
I have the audio crash problem with Cut the Rope and HexDefense.
ZDefense automatically disables the audio because I have an S2.

You can keep track on the (lack of) progress here.

[Q] Two Major Problems with the S3 (Help)

Ok so I've had the S3 since yesterday and needless to say its a pretty incredible piece of kit.
However I've encountered two problems I can't get around;
1. I can't seem to get my music player onto the lock screen to easily change track, I've tried a variety of players but none seem to take over the lock screen no matter what settings are used? Anyone know a fix?
2. Whenever I use the internet on my phone using desktop mode or any internet browser, when trying to watch videos other than on Youtube I always get the "You need Flash" instead of the video, I never had this problem on my Note...
Are there any quick fixes to this? I don't want to root my device...
For 2) it's probably a case of you needing to go the Play Store and downloading Adobe Flash

I would have thought by the fact i'd posted here it would have been assumed Id already downloaded Flash .
I have Adobe Flash Player 11 with the fix for ICS, however playing videos I could on my Note just isn't happening on the S3 and i'm not sure why!

If there are videos with commercials, it can be that the popup blocker of the browser blocks them.
It happened to me too just because the website I tried, needed to have the commercials downloaded first before it could start the playback.
Are you using the same browser on both phones?
About the first problem it works ok for me so i really dont know. (stock music player)
the above two problems are not major!! i will tell you a major problem and that is an auto focus issue while recording video looses its focus and moves too and fro awkwardly video help help!
I have the same problem as number 1: The stock music player on the galaxy s3 does not appear to have any control on the lockscreen. It's strange because on my Galaxy S it works perfectly.. Anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue, without going to 3rd party apps/widgets?
It's annoying but at least you can pull down the notification bar and get it there.
Also the headphones do volume but not tracks... F'n annoying.
I find the music player a bit ****, wish I had access to Google Play Music from 4.0.
The only way is pull down the notification bar

In order for you to play the videos using the browser, you need to switch back to android mode(phone mode), the flash player, especially the adobe one, do not support desktop mode.
To sort it, you need a flash player that supports desktop mode which i don't know if there is already existing app like that.
So, there is no way to get it working properly, only notification bar? That's weak..
Btw. I have also problems with flash. Youtube works fine but sometimes it just keeps loading and doesn't play ( from the internet browser). What's the deal with all these issues, I thought SG3 will be flawless..
I wanted to follow up on this, I find the music player extremely annoying. The headphones not changing track I can live with for the time being.
Any solution on how to access the on screen music player besides the notification bar from the lock screen?

HW overlays, ghosting effects

Hey guys. I just recently got a Galaxy S3 and just had a couple of questions.
First of all: I have noticed the slight flickering that other galaxy users have experienced from using texting. And I know its a very common issue, but has anyone found a solution to the problem? it's a very tiny flicker so it's not a big problem, but its the principle I suppose. Just wondering if anyones found a fix!
Okay, secondly, im familiar with the disabling the hardware overlays to fix some issues, like when I go to play games like Shadowgun Deadzone, however has anyone had an issue where after they checked it off, their browsers have a sort of "ghosting" effect while scrolling up and down? It fixed the game, but made the ui buggy....kind of a weird tradeoff. Also, it froze my video player so it doesnt move. Anybody got a helpful solution for this? Please and thank you!

[Q] Music "lag" problem on CyanogenMod 10.1/10.2

Hi,
when playing music on Jelly Bean on my Evo 3D there seem to occur random "lags", at which no music is playing. These lags are shorter than a second, but still very annoying. A few seconds there is music without problem, then these quirks, then music again... Any idea what I could do to fix or work around this?
Thanks,
exic
This appears both with and without headphones fwiw.
does it happen while screen is off? and on every player?
Had the same issue, I guess its over taxing the evo's ram or CPU, so I just purchased a new moto x as my USB port also was playing games, makes the evo feel old

Yes, it happens when screen is off. Tried Mortplayer and the pre-installed Apollo, both had this issue. I found out that enabling airplane mode at least mitigates the problem.
Might be CPU, I enabled dev options and then CPU usage. Load was quite high when it appeared, however I wasn't able to detect a definite correlation. I guess android is supposed to get its priorities right, so that the active process gets all the resources it needs.
Incredibly annoying and happens here too.

Audio Lag in Games

So far, the z2 for me has been an awesome phone all around, but I do have a major nitpick about the handset, and was wondering if anyone else has this issue..
I have noticed in quite a few of the games that I play, that there is a noticeable delay in audio from what I am doing on screen, for example, I was trying to play cytus last night, however thee was almost a second delay between the music and the actual time you are meant to hit a note
Another example was when I was trying to play sonic cd, the game runs like a dream, however, the audio is about a second behind the gameplay, which sounds very weird when a lot if going on, onscreen..
I have found that some games work fine though, sonic 1 for example works fine, no delay at all..., the same with PSO2es, no delay at all...
Is this a software bug with the phone or is the an audio setting I need to change? Does anyone else have this issue?
Its apparently been knoticed as a device specific bug to do with a odd firmware reaction or at least that what i found googling stuff up

Mine has an audio sync problem when I play 4K movies recorded with the Z2. The sync problem is also present when I play the movies on my PC.

I have the delay problem when playing some games. Very annoying. Is there some sound processing that can be turned off to fix it?

Bluetooth audio lag in games

Hello there,
I'm encountering some problems with my bluetooth headphones when I start games. As long as I'm using Spotify, Youtube etc. everything works fine, but in games I have like 0.7 to 1 second audio lag. It always occurs, no matter if I've also connected my BT gamepad or not.
What I'm using:
Device: bq Aquaris X Pro 4gb/64gb
Android: 7.1.1
Baseband-Version: 1-00333-8953_GEN_PACK-1.110987.1
Kernel-Version:
3.18.31-perf-g23e2fe9
[email protected] #1
Fri Nov 10 09:54:40 CET 2017
Build-Number: 1.5.1_20171110-0910
Additional info: Unlocked Bootloader, rooted (Magisk 15.3 (5.5.5))
Bluetooth headphones: Teufel Move BT (Bluetooth 4.0 + apt-x)
Bluetooth gamepad: Stoga STM01 (Bluetooth 3.0, also known as iPega BTC-938)
What I already tried:
- Reconnecting all devices
- Resetting all devices
- Reinstalling Games / Software
- Testing audio-altering software, just in case it'd change anything
- Deactivating any other connections beside bluetooth
- Uninstalling any app that could cause those problems, like antivirus
- Checking CPU Load (~25% in games) and RAM usage (never completely full)
- Fiddling around with audio options - doesn't change anything
- Looking up if it's a buffering problem (didn't find any information)
A kinda interesting observation I made is that the lag seems to only occure when he got (game-)footage to render. There isn't even any audio lag in the Rockstar logo video when I start GTA 3, but it starts when I load my savegame. Doesn't have to be 3D though, it happens with GTA 3 as well as Angry Birds or PPSSPP, ePSXe or any other emulator I got.
The bug probably was always there, I just happen to notice it now because it's the first time I got a smartphone strong enough for something I'd call a "fully fledged game".
A friend told me it's maybe a known problem with the Android 7 stock ROM, but since the internet is full of bluetooth problems on android I'm not sure about that. I would've tried a custom rom, but there isn't any rom for the Aquaris X Pro yet (even though there's a team working on a Linelage OS 15 port). Just buying cheap headphones to play with isn't a real option, since I'd also need a new gamepad (my current one blocks the audio port), and I'd be forced to always change to crappy sound when I want to play a game (The Teufel Move BT are really high quality).
There's actually an open beta programm for Android 8 Oreo for my device, but I don't really want to unroot (Some apps I regularly use need it) and accept all the telemetry....
Created a logcat file (search term "bluetooth"). Just connected the devices, moved around a bit in two apps with BT lag, and disconnected them again.

Anyone got an idea how to fix this?

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S9+. Same lag value in games only. It seems like Android bug and can't be fixed by users unless they deploy a fix.

Same problem on Note8 (Exynos), while on games only with powerbeats 2.
same happen in note9 (exynos) while on games only with oneplusBullet wireless
It's an AOSP issue and it makes me frustrated that no body report the issue to Google itself. It's been years man!
OEM roms like oxygen os and one UI have fixed this issue but the problem is that they have closed sources for their oos and one UI... It's an issue deep within the aosp code... And will continue to occur in all aosp roms ?
We should ask Google to fix their aosp for this!
