Hi! Have you ever had problems on video playback using void echo? I have experienced problems after playing for say 1min then the whole video will lag and eventually close down. (Note that this is the recorded video from P500)
Any clues? I have not enabled sf and hwacc.
Thanks
Hi, a friend of mine had the same problem you're describing. The video seems to start well, and then the lag comes in and it shuts down. I think this is mainly due to a slow SD card (maybe class 2?). I've been on void echo for a while, and I have a 8 Gb class 4 microSD card. Played video with absolutely no problem at all. Ecxept, but it's a problem related to all roms I think, videos with ac3 audio. With these, the video plays well, but I can't hear anything.
Me too, I use 8gb sandisk class 4 micro sdhc. I don't have the usual unmount problems,only on-the-job video. And I noticed that the video plays fine when I restored my phone to the stock rom. Any clues on this?

Can't think of anything then..sorry mate If something comes up my mind I'll let you know...
EDIT: Btw, I'm on exactly the same SDcard you have. Strange thing, for sure...

SAME HERE ..i had a nokia bundled card(class4) earlier with but with sandisk microsd sdhc class 4 8gb i m facing same problems with LOL rom.(.havent checked out on stock rom)
PS... USB transfer is slow too...Earlier i had around 5-6MBps for video files now sandisk one gives only 3-4MBps...Regrettin buying it
The problem is VIDEO is staggering ...Not reboot or anything..Just lower FPS dont know why...Files i play are .avi with xvid 624*352 ~1Mbps and audio mp3 128Kbps 48KHz
Same problem for me on #echo.Any solutions?

Turn off the interactive governor, that is the source of your problems. Set it back to the on-demand governor and you will have no problems at all.

root your phone.. INstall Setcpu for root users 2.1.0 and there u go.. just try ondemand scheduling between 600MHz or 245 MHz or u can save more power using conservative between 245 and 600...I use conservative or the phone gets hot (its INDIA)

Yeah try another ROM . If Void echo fails , try something else . Go for the new Nessy , Light ROm which both have 2.2.2 android but Light ROM doesn't have a2sd . You decide which is best for you .

Yeah, I think to that void is the problem. But why do you need video on a phone? I know smartphones but come on you can play games (I've got void myself) and read mail,mp3 player and bla bla....why the need for video?!

Hi guys, the game works fine for a couple of mins, until the phone starts heating and well , it starts lagginggggg. Multiplayer works fine, but single player is just killing me. Problems only occur when phone starts to warm up. Anyone facing this issue?
More info : Strafing and scrolling "view" seems to be lagging, as though frame-rate just dropped or something. I've reinstalled and uninstalled, downloaded data and still, the same outcome. Multiplayer is as smooth as
Please tell me this isnt just meeee
im alone?????
Ive only played the first mission. it does not lag or overheat like you mention,although i do notice the frames drop in some areas becoming slightly laggy.online gaming is great.i hate that the game crashes and restarts sometimes in online play
Have some apps running in the background?
I also experience UHT moment when i play gameloft games.. but theres no continuous lag, only stutters on some area..
You may also need to check that your governor wasn't on conservative..

Hmm, im on the latest version. 1.0.1. What im getting is the BLURISH effect when scrolling views. Im pretty sure its a framerate drop. Ive got MC3 running alone, no background apps. Its literally killing me. Ive tried 5 different kernels, and Im sure im not overclocking or underclocking the cpu. Im using stock rom though. Would cyanogenmod help improve the gameplay? Any good roms that still preserve the samsung qwerty keyboard?
I have this issue too. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, Noble Black, 2.3.5, stock ROM, kernel XWKJ1 (also stock), NO ROOT
At some point (fire or many trees or something) the game is lowering the FPS. I didn't noticed that for example on Sensation XL (which has 1.5 singlecore and even higher screen resolution than my phone has) and i didn't saw a single lag.
I made a video about this problem and posted it on youtube here it is:
I suppose this problem is related to my stock ROM or even my stock kernel... something similar is happening with backstab but there it's not that annoying since it's not a FPS game

YES YES Im not alone. Thats the problem. I wonder if its due to the stock rom...
Got the game no issue here. im rooted on slimrom with siyah kernel, not overclocked but undervolted so it doesnt heat up so much. Fyi shadow gun is a really good game as well
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
No issues here.
Well,it even happens on my device,which is overclocked,both the CPU(1600MHz) and the GPU(400MHz).It seems to only happen when there is smoke on the screen.Doesn't happen in any other case.
Feel like flashing a new rom. Gonna get a usb jig first...
Btw, any roms to recommend?

Because it has another much weaker GPU, therefore it has much lower graphical quality settings. It's like playing on Low and the GSII on very high.

Well,even if it is so,it's unacceptable,as it's definitely a fault on Gameloft's part.The game is,once again like other Gameloft titles,more or less badly coded.It uses too much GPU.I can play ShadowGun with 16x MSAA(Using CF3D) for hours and the phone just gets warm,while I can't play MC3 for nearly as long and the device burns.Before anyone tries to say that it's because MC3 has so super awesome graphics,it's not the cause.Our GPU doesn't overheat,even when overclocked.Excessive heat is only generated by the CPU.So,try playing ShadowGun and MC3 with 500MHz or 800MHz CPU.ShadowGun still plays as awesome as before,while MC3 lags.
We should contact Gameloft me thinks...

Now play GTA3.
Well when I got this phone I saw I could use a bluetooth gamepad with it and I was like oh **** hdmi out +emulator +bluetooth gamepad = me happy haha
Unfortunately that is not the case and I was hoping someone could help. Just on the phone emulators and everything else works flawlessly. When I use hdmi out the performance drops to unplayable.
Emulators (even snesoid...) are way too choppy to even play. Shadowgun and reckless getaway are also choppy but kind of 'playable.' There is noticeable lag so it feels like playing in quicksand.
I get the phone is processing two displays but come on even snesoid is unplayable? So here is my question(s):
Can I force the phone to only display the hdmi output, thereby increasing performance? As I understand it this is not possible but just have to ask.
Can I reduce the resolution of the output and maybe make gains there?
If I root and overclock, could I achieve smooth results? And if yes, what speed would be good to try for stability/performance?
Thanks for your time.
Cmon not one reply? This is xda-dev! This isn't that technical of a question I'm shocked not a single person can help...especially with 80+ views...Any help is appreciated.
Im yet to try out my new mhl adapter on any rom but RezRom 1.2 since i dont seem to find the time to. But will post here when i do. Om gonna try the stock newly leaked ruu.
On Rezrom btw, my phone freezes for a bit then reboots whenver i run a video for some reason.

You have to remember that when you mirror displays, your phone is having to draw twice the pixels. So yes, that's going to cause serious lag, especially on a game, even if It's just a SNES emulator.
Overclocking will likely help some, but if there's anyway to turn off your phone display, that would be your best option. I don't have an MHL adapter to help, but hopefully I've at least explained the problem.

Indeed, the main culprit is having to push both displays. For some reason, I have not found a way to disable the phone screen without turning off the hdmi out. Basically when you put the phone screen to sleep it seems to cut off the hdmi out...
Because the phone performs so well while only using it's own display, can anyone shed some light on how to have hdmi out going and disable the phone screen? I think this would result in smooth hdmi out performance.
I would think if it was able to mirror, it would be able to simply use one or the other. I really want to figure this out
I would think rooting and some ICS would help, since GB is not really using both cores, correct? Overclocking may help, but may make you phone melt if its pushing super hard.
Well actually I'm running the ICS leak now...605.22 or whatever is the end of the version number. It's pretty and runs smoothly. Was there an aspect of ICS you think would help because as far as games go I see no difference between GB and ICS.
What about rooting do you think would help me?
And also, what speeds would be safe to try overclocking?
For safe clock speeds, use something like SetCPU. Start slowly bumping up the clock speed, using it for a bit, and if it's stable, repeat. If it reboots or becomes unstable, lower the clock speed.
Most importantly, don't set the clock speed on boot until you find a stable speed, or you might end up in a boot loop.

Thanks for the overclocking advice. Have you tried OCing the rezound? What kind of speed and performance increase have you seen?
Other than OCing I think my best option would be to find a way to turn off the phone display while running hdmi. If this is just simply not supported, could something be modified and added into a rom that allows hdmi out without the phone display?
You may try contacting TeamWin. I know they really helped the Evo4g with mirroring. Now that we have s-off they may be able to help.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Thanks, I've contacted them just now so we'll see what they say.
Has anyone tried any of the oc kernels?
Can anyone comment on how smooth hdmi out performance is with these overclocks applied? The threads have a lot of comments but none deal with that specifically.
What ROM are you running? Did you get the bluetooth gamepad to work properly? I've read that HTC used a different bluetooth stack that doesnt work with gamepads. What gamepad did you use? Thanks.
I'm using the leaked release candidate of ICS for rezound ending in 605.22 I think. The bluetooth gamepad does work. It's a phonejoy. All it does is press keys on a virutal keyboard through bluezIME because even on ICS although gamepads are 'supported' I have yet to see anything besides N64oid actually use a GAMEPAD, not just 'xperia play' style it and use keyboard inputs.
Anyway bluetooth has multiple protocols and the one the PS3 and some other devices use is apparently not supported by HTC (i have not confirmed this) but phonejoy, and your standard bluetooth earpieces etc use a protocol that is widely supported by phones.
Now how about those oc kernels? Anyone try their hdmi out with them and see if it performs any smoother?

Yes. The ICS framework itself supports multiple cores. HTC used extra code, including the mpdecision file on GB to regulate when to use the second core, which can be hit or miss. ICS should yield better efficiency and performance when it comes to handling the CPU. (Real world use usually shows the more lightweight GB GUI to be snappier, but the phone is plenty powerful enough to run ICS smooth when all wrinkles are ironed out, and when devs get some more code too, i.e. kernel source.)
Ok, back to my thread question haha....
Has anyone tried HDMI out with any of the OC kernels for the rezound? Does it perform better than stock hdmi out?
I have noticed that whenever i play heavy 3d games, my cpu only runs at 800 mhz..even though the scaling is from 200-1200 mhz. First i thought it was a problem with a specific game(The dark knight rises), but now i tried Mass effect infiltrator too..same thing happens..
I wouldnt have bothered too much but i get some fps drops..i expect 'smooth as a butter' experience from S2..which i aint getting..while playing 3d games..
Some one might argue that maybe the game requires only 800 mhz to run..but i seriously doubt it..in 3d applications(heavy) , the processor should be used at higher frequencies. Also, i tried scaling my cpu from 1000-1200 mhz, but still while playing games, the cpu goes back to 800 mhz lol..
Please someone explain this and also Try it on your device..do u notice the same results while playing a heavy 3d game?
I tried running stock kernel as well as siyah 3.3.2. getting same results on both.. tried different governers too..but same thing
I am on neatlite rom currently..could it be the rom thats the culprit?
Please someone do help me, i am getting frustrated with my S2 lol..

It only happens with heavy 3d games( which ironically require the processor the most)

It could be due to smooth scaling setting bug from earlier siyah kernel, or throttling due to cpu temperature.
Try flash the latest siyah kernel and set smooth scaling level to 1200mhz.
i have set smooth scaling to 1200 mhz.. and yeh i guess it could be the throtling issue but why is it happening?
I mean i can run a 2d game like mutant roadkill on 1200mhz but when i try to run heavy 3d games..they just run at 800 mhz..
I did read bout this throttling issue to 800mhz but what can i do to avoid it? The phone doesnt get too hot either though..
Hi I'm running at 1600mhz on my galaxy note (stock is 1400) everything is running damn fast thumbs up.... But every single time I load a game which contains heavy 3d graphics then it goes down to 800mhz I just can't find a solution. Anyway running smoothly at 1600 just as long I don't play games.

wrong thread and wrong forum my friend this is for s2
also, perhaps you should use setCPU to check some clock settings
I just tried infiltrator, and my device uses highest 1200mhz normally, so i guess it must be kernel/rom related. I'm running rr 2.6.1 with latest dorimanx 5.67 kernel. It might be something about neat rom that prevents your device from using max clock, since neat rom is very battery friendly, but i'm not sure... would be nice if someone using the same rom as you could try and confirm.
