It is a common problem as seen from Moto official q&a forum. Do any of you exhibit this issue in game with ongoing freezes that lags the phone for a good 3 seconds? Is any fix in the works?

I don't play games but I noticed something similar when playing music. It will freeze for a few seconds seemingly randomly a few times per song. A reboot fixes it temporarily.

I don't have any freezes during music playback but it only happens to me during game, in fact almost every game... I hope I can get more consensus here so somebody can start looking into it
Fruit ninja, ninja jumping freeze and music sometimes bug..... With power amp

Same problem here. A good 3-second freeze in angry birds season, and more severely in fruit ninja.
I guess it is not a software bug. Simply the game doesn't support the device. Check out Angry Birds Season page in android market.
I have the same with "Wheres my Water' unfortunatly.
the freezes stopped with the last OTA. when i was playing fruit ninja, the game did freeze a lot but after i installed the OTA, no freezes anymore.
No OTA for middle eastern versions available yet.
I have same problem.. every games it freezes around 3 seconds yet the game music is running.
Hopefully got the fix for this issue.
I have the same problem in Brazil. With the games Dragon Fly, Fruit Ninja and others. It Freezes... Guess have something to do with some background process. I dont know...
Try disabling wireless network locations, it runs in the background and can eat a lot of cycles.
Check running processes and uninstall some if they appear to run for no reason.
any updates on this? It is really annoying while playing Dragon Fly (1-5 sec freeze every 30 seconds), Fruit Ninja etc. Almost not usable phone for simple gaming. I'm on FW 30. Though angry birds seem OK.

I noticed that the screen doesn't respond in shadowgun sometimes but the buttons work. Wonder if it has to do with a heat issue - using a otterbox.

My handset (stock Vodafone) will hang/freeze when gaming. Sort of. If I enable in-game sounds, it's almost guaranteed that within a few minutes, the display will freeze. Game music continues to play.
The handset is still somewhat responsive, though if I hold the home button to bring up task manager, it can take between a couple of seconds and 10+ seconds for the window to display.
When I manage to get through to task manager, the game task shows 80%+ CPU usage. I'm able to kill the task and the handset is usable again.
This happens in every game and I've seen comments against certain games on the app store mentioning hangs/freezing/crashing on the SGS2.
If I disable sounds, the problem never occurs. I can even enable in-game music, just not sound effects.
I'm left wondering if there is a common handset fault, a software/OS fault, if maybe I just have a singularly faulty unit or if it's a whole lot of game developers using some common sound handling code that doesn't play well with the SGS2.
Has anyone else experience of this? I've tried Googling and I have tried searching this forum, to no avail.
Thanks.
You should post the names of the games you are playing. I didn't encounter any game that should freeze or hang because of sound.
Yes i too have been having this problem, and like you said, if you turn off sound in game, the game works fine. I have google'd it and a game developer has said that it may have something to do with the S2 sound system causing instabilities.
Some games which are notorious for me is robo defence and guns n glory, cut the rope also freezes when i turn the taps in the game.
Again turning off sound does allow game to be playable, but who wants to play games with no sounds. Trying to get on the phone with samsung if they know anything about it. Is anybody else having these problems 2? or can someone test playing these games.
I'm also having the same problem.. Coincidentally I also bought my handset from Vodafone.
Could this be related to Vodafone only firmware? :/
SGS II Freezing
My Galaxy S2 freezes when i play the game Cut the rope. the music remains playing. when i checked the RAM usage the game was using upto 55% ram.
This seems to be an issue with SoundPool on dual-core devices. Google is aware of the issue : http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623
As the offending API has been identified, I believe we can expect to see a patch soon. Vote on the issue to help prioritize it.

I've been havin the same problem with a game called fly boy and sometimes on google earth. google maps navigation and lattitude are fine and all other games are fine so far. I've noticed my cpu jumps about a lot even in stand by/idle mode. any ideas?
After playing some games like Let's Golf 3, Dungeon Hunter 2, Riptide GP,
Shadowgun, PES 2012 and TinTin the Game shut's himself off.
And it's closing with no message at all.
Just playing and then Boom, black screen and then it's going to home screen.
Anyone else have or had this problem?
I think you have a version of the game that is not for your phone !
If you have download the games from a website for free so thats it but if you bought them i don't know what is the problem

You mean TinTin quits to a black screen all of a sudden, or do all of them? Also, does your phone get hot to the touch?
I can't imagine you having bought all those games, but that's not what we're here for. Although it could be a good reason of games not working correctly because the APK you downloaded was not supposed for the SGS2.
The gameloft games are sgII versions the other ones are non tegra. But I think that
its related to many in and unstalled kernel tryings because when I firstly installed
checkrom fresh with speedmodkernel 13 everything was ok but later on I OC and Uv
and tried mAny kernels and sinds then it was happening.
Maybe someone had it to... but its ok i still can play those games and it saving auto.
When i finish these games then i do a fresh install again.
Thnx all.
When i play games (mostly fruit ninja) my Razr freezes for 3-4 seconds and then continues....
Whats is going on?
how can i fix it?
Same problem....Here's how I fixed it:
Clear your dalvik cache, then root your phone and install motomizer. It installs some VM tweaks and things, and your phone will run faster overall.
Also, apps will stop freezing. (do you notice it only happening 3d games? because it only happens in 3d games and also cut the rope for me)
Never had a single problem with Cut the Rope or Grand Theft Auto 3, which is 3D game...
I experinced this playing Angry Birds... But just once and I'm playing it almost every day on my RAZR (651.73.19.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU, rooted, no tweaks applied).
Hello!
Quick question on gaming on the Droid RAZR. I've installed a few games on mine and on a couple of them, there seems to be an occasional lags.
Specifically on Fruit Ninja and Dragon, Fly!
It lags once every 10 seconds or, and when it does, it just freezes the screen for 1 - 2 seconds
Funny thing is, it doesn't seem to do it on, say, BriskSaber, which is pretty much Fruit Ninja with higher graphic and star wars skin... I also have Wind-up Knight which has awesome HD graphic and it never lags either.
I tried turning off data, background update, Wifi, even put it on Airplane mode.
Anybody ever experience this? Any help?
Thanks so much!

ps: awesome video when registering btw.
Hello guys!
My friend is having the same problem, with Fruit Ninja and Go Ninja, sometimes the phone starts to lag. Does anyone know what could it be?
I've noticed that the .211 ICS update has caused some stuttering in games that didn't have it before. On the .214 leak, this seems to have cleared up.
I'm on the same leak as you and I've had no problems running fruit ninja or any game for that matter. I'd double check to make sure you don't have numerous apps running in the background. Download setCPU and set the governor to hotplug because the leak I'm on defaulted the second core off (no idea why)
Ok, So I haven't really use the Tegra3 for games, and decided to try some games today and have been really dissapointed.
I have tried Soulcraft THD, Zenpinball, Dungeon defenders, GOF2 THD.
ALL do not work properly. I mean that in some way or other I get either a Force close, or some flickering/reboot when i go in a menu, or it simply won't load (stuck on loading progress bar).
Weird? normal?
Osmos HD plays just fine, why won't 3D applications from Tegrazone not work also?
Just needed to vent and hear if anyone had any similar problems.
Specific glitches noticed on my Prime (forced GPU rendering, Performance mode on/off doesn't impact how the games play).
Soulcraft: won't let me pass the loading bar
GOF2 THD: let me play at first but if I tap "options", screen flickers and force closes
Dungeon Defenders: won't let me pass the spinning/loading wheel at the beginning.
Reboot, retry. Works for me when I get flickering.
I had this problem until i installed Virtuous Prime 3 days ago and haven't had it since
will try rebooting... again...
Maybe i'll jump the gun on V3... thanks for the feedback guyz!
I used to reboot before I played any 3D game...but then I started using Fast Reboot which does a fake reboot by closing and restarting a bunch of background apps. This seems to cure the FC/hangs. Sometimes just using Asus Task Manager to close all running apps would work too, but Fast Reboot definitely does the trick.
