I play games a lot and just recently I purchased Grand Theft Auto Vice City and when I start playing it after out load, it eventually freezes and I have to pull the battery in order to gain control of my phone again. Anybody else out there get this game to work? Not sure if it's a rom or kernel problem but I did just pay a good chunk of change for this game lol. I'm running Tron 2.1 with his stock kernel. Thank you for your time y'all!

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.
Hi,
I've been using the Artillery Brigade game that I got from SamsungApps on my SGP5. It works fine, EXCEPT that it seems like it's not saving the state of the game at all.
Whenever I close the game or power off the SGP5, and then, later, start the game again, it always starts as if I've never played it before, including offering to play the tutorial.
I was really enjoying the game, but it's getting pretty boring playing the same levels over and over to get to where I was before.
Has anyone tried this app? Does it save the game state in between runs?
Thanks,
Jim
same problem here may be next update will fix it
thannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnx
Hey so I have a t-mobile galaxy s2 running android 4.3 using cm10.2 though here is where my problem lies. For some reason out of nowhere certain games just wont play. Like the app begins to open but then just goes black. For example I'm a big fan of subway surfers but my phone will only run upto version 1.11 and nothing higher ... is there anything i can do to fix this? help so i can continue to kick my friends butts in the game lol
Okay Furby Boom and several game emulator apps are not working. My phone is the straight talk gs2 now rooted as At&t sgh1777 with cm nightly mod 10.2. I would like to know of any emulator apps for gba, gamecube, and n64 that will work for me. and can anyone get the furby potty station to work cause My furby gets sick from not being able to go potty all the time weather its a supporting app or just some tweaked settings, let me know. Me and my girlfriend each have one, and no matter what the potty station crashes out. You would be doing furblings and furbies a service.
Better ask Hasbro.
