Hi, I am experiencing some problems with larger games on my SGS3 I9300. I have free memory, but for unknown reason some games, while playing, shuts down and I go to main screen. For instance, Gangstar Rio crash very often while playing. MC3 start loading, passes Gameloft logo, and crashes immediately. Sometimes the phone gets hot with these games. What can be the problem?

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?
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.
shadowgun
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.
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

Hello, I have a problem with sgs4 i9515, android 5.0.1. My phone lags when I play COLOR SWITCH, game runs nice for 10 sec and then lags for 2 sec and it repeats.. This also happens when I play other games, game runs nicely few seconds and then lags. Sometimes there is more lag than normal playing. That happens with almost every game. There are few games that I can play without lag (Badland). My friend plays on his sgs4 i9500 4.4.2. wwe immortals, dream league soccer and score hero very nicely, with about 30 fps. Those games i can't play with even 20 fps, there is a lot of lag. What could be the problem ?
