Is this device not capable of multi-tasking graphics intense games due to only having 1gb of ram? I'm playing dead trigger with no other apps open in background, an incoming call comes in so I answer it, end call, now dead trigger restarts itself so all gameplay before the incoming call is never saved so basically wasted all that time playing the game due to an incoming call.
Seems to be this way with graphics intense games. Sad too since this device was advertised as a GAMING DEVICE with the tegra 3 chip and all. I mean my dang iPhone 4 could multi-task dead trigger and incoming calls with half the ram, why not this device?
Sad if I have to play games with airplane mode on to not get any incoming calls to interfere with my gaming. Just really disappointed on this device overall with this lack of multi-tasking. Almost makes the device useless in terms of mobile gaming. What's the use if all it takes is an incoming call to ruin your gaming progress???

Well, I haven't played that game, but on asphalt 7 and 8, which are fairly cpu/gpu intense games(and not particularly optimized for the tegra). When I get a call it pauses the game and switches to the call, so when I hang up I just have to unpause the game and continue. Also works on the other games I have played, so maybe it's just something weird with dead trigger?
Only time I've seen what you describe is when I've been on the call for a very long time and the default timeout to kill a background app kicks in.

Hi,
I have a S2, rooted and still using stock ROM
I ran a few games from gamesloft (eternal legacy, rainbow 6 HD) and the apps just hang. i also ran a facebook game and it also hang
during these hang time, i notice that every time the CPU usage is very high (red font, > 40%)
It is weird because these game (especially gamesloft) had been released to less superior hw spec phone and they are running without problems
Example my friend's galaxy S 1 can run the eternal legacy which has theoritically half the computing power of S 2
Can anyone advice what can be the issue here?
i also encounterd this with "Heavy Gunner" and Gun "bros" he games are stuck and cpu utilization is 100%,no other apps online..thats sooo odd becuase i used to
play this game in my brother's "Xperia Arc" with no problems at 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.
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?
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.
The most popular android and ios game currently is pubg mobile. Although the redmi note 4 handles the game properly with like 45~fps, there are sometimes 'one-second freeze'. Like the game freezes for like 0.5 seconds and then it continues normally. So is there any kind of fix or tweaks for this. BTW when i use the gfx tool to get extreme fps(60) the game seems to run well in training mode or when there are not much buildings. So if i were to say: I am in military base the game lags a lot. But if i am in farm or something it doesnt. So any gpu booster? Does force gpu rendering helps out? Kindly reply fast and TIA.

What?
Gfx tool
I play on balance mode +ultra fps settings. Game is playable bt i do notice smtime half sec lag.. we should move to miui nd check if same thing happens or not
Use over clocked kernels
I have this problem when I game that if I leave the game to check a message or something and go back to it(without closing the app I'm playing on) I start to get really low fps even though I'd have 2gb of ram free.
