I have a brand new Arc. While playing Gameloft games I noticed some kind of Reload where the game somehow freezes for a second than I see the game splash screen and it go to the game pause screen. All this happen several times during gameplay (tested asphalt 6 and star battalion 3.1.6). Also the bluetooth connection freezes and come back (using BT headset).
I also noticed while connected to the wifi and downloading stuff the connection breaks and it connects again (this must be because of the very know problem of ARC WiFi) It looks like the phone is "reloading" "redrawing" the game but it does not poweroff, just games freezes, reloads (show game splash screen) than go to game pause screen. I did not noticed any signs of slowing so I have no Idea whats happening. I updated the phone just after I powered it the first time to 2.3.4. All stock, no root not custom kernel or rom.
Game versions seens to be right to ARC (Star battalion 3.1.6...)
Would it be a RAM problem? Hardware? Android OS? Maybe the Launcher (Go Launcher)
Please help.
P.s: I did not post this on the ARC section becuse it might not be related to ARC but to the OS or the game itself.
Thanks a lot

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.
galaxy s2 freeze
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?
Last night I flashed my Arc S with the official ICS rom for the Arc S from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598072
On my first run with ICS the phone failed to see the music and pictures on my SD card so I had to factory reset the phone and wiped out the data.
Everything went well after I managed to reinstall all my apps and move my music and pictures back on my SD card but I ran into a few problems, one is when my phone is charging the touch screen goes all loopy and if I open up one app the phone opens up a different app, it's even worst when trying to type. When I tried playing shadowgun the touch screen was serious fked up and I wasn't even charging the phone, sometimes the move pad changes and at some point the game will crash its like the game is infested with bugs, I can't resume the game since it always crash after the loading screen same things happen with GTA 3 and Dungeon Defenders.
Can someone help me?
Hi!
I recently bought Minecraft, downloaded Angry Birds Go and Injustice Gods Among Us on My Xperia E!
All the above when I start them they only show black screen with sound, I can click on things but no picture, please help!
When Running Injustice Phone says, app is not responding , Wait or Close!
Injustce comes up with loading screen and the superman screen but after that it is a black screen!
I have tried rebooting, reinstalling, clearing all sorts and my phone is upto date!

for some reason a couple of games won't work properly.
they first start of playing like they normally do, after a certain amount of time the sound disappears.
and after that if i complete the mission it freezes and restart or return to the home screen, it restart
this happens on Assassin's creed and yugioh.
has anyone had this problem before?
Hello, I don't know if my post will be understood enough, I'm not a native speaker.
I don't play often games on my F1 but sometimes I did, after update to Miui 11 I can't run any games. Every game freezes with black screen and nothing happens. Even Game turbo doesn't shows its message that it's enabled itself. Do You have any ideas what happened and how to fix it? I'm sad because I must travel a lot and want to play something sometimes
