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?
@androidkid:slimrom running touchwiz?

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...

Try the map where your using a minigun and escaping with a truck/car (dont remember the map name)
the fps drops from stable 60 to under 20 impossible to, win the level through with hard
Hmm which governor are you using? i just know that lulzactive is kinda bad if it comes to gaming. try out some stock governors like ondemand, conservative or performance.

Now play GTA3.
Hey All
I recently downloaded Gta III From the market But there is significant Lag
(I am using Cm7 With Full Oc)
But I have seen videos on youtube Of people playing Gta III on their Optimus one.
I Have heard Of a Gta version where it doesn't lag But the graphics are bad
Could i PLEASE have a download link for Gta III one that dosnt Lag (i dont care if the graphics are Bad)
GTAIII Optimization
There's two ways I can think of making it run smoother.
1. Chainfire3D. It's a root app, found in the market, whose sole purpose is to enable games on devices that wouldn't normally be able to play them. You have to buy it to unlock everything, but I've been able to use the free version on my Moto Droid to play GTAIII better.
2. Delete the audio folder. Once you have everything downloaded, manually delete the audio folder. If the phone isn't constantly trying to play music or SFX, it will run a bit quicker.
The specific apk isn't going to matter, unless rockstar made huge optimizations to code in recent versions, but as you've DLed from the market, that shouldn't matter, no? Overall, I'd recommend against trying to run it. The optimus isn't really made to handle 3D games in general, much less GTAIII. Good luck, though.

your rom have overclock? that could help. try to put over 700 mhz in perfomance governor

Maybe a little bit. But nothing will be damaged. Don`t worry, the only thing you can have, is reboot.
Here ya go buddy:

Go there, download game that is around 70-90MB, and apk, and do the same what you did with original!
Graphics are pretty bad in this one, and there is often a bug where you will after 20m in front of yourself see only some pink wall, and ofc no sound...
But runs better, still lagged pretty much on mik_os 6.5.7 but now will test it in PerfectPeso2.2 and see how it is. With full game, on PerfectPeso, it didn't lagged so much like on the rest of the ROMs so I expect this one to run smootly now...
And yeah, just overclock it until kernel starts to reboot, i got mine stable on 825Mhz, on 844 it runs about 1 hour, and on 864 it got nearly 10min in mik_os 6.5.7, but now on PerfectPeso there is no option to go beyond 806mhz...:/ But still frikin fast!
UPDATE: yeah on PerfectPeso2.2 fresh installed no tweaks ripped version will run almost lagless, 15-25fps, but totaly playable! And no pink wall bug anymore!!!
Tried this game a while back and the result was the same... The lag made the game unplayable..
Tested it on CM7. PerfectPeso2.2 sound's good from what you say, but will not change the rom just for a game .
Hi!
I just wanna check with some other ppl that are using SNESDroid with their Primes and are running ICS. No matter what game I play, I get stutters now and then. The emulator halts for a sec and then just continues like nothing happened. I'm using a PS3 controller when playing. Tried with and without the cable, doesn't make a difference. And I've checked the keybindings. There are no duplicates there either.
But here's the interesting part. It happens alot more when hooked to a TV via HDMI! Starting to think it's either a problem with ICS or the Prime having a hard time deciding how many CPUs to use for the app. I happen to know that these sorts of lags/stutters can occur because of it. Very annoying because the gameplay is otherwise sooo smooth >.<. I've tried changing the powerprofile but no difference.
The emulator does occasionally kick you to the mainmenu for some reason. Might be related to that too? Only seems to happen when not connected to a TV :S. The Youtube videos I've seen only mention this problem, not the one I've been having. Reinforcing that this might be a problem only I'm having...
Hope that you ppl can confirm and/or help me fix it . Thanks!
I don't have stuttering issue with snesdroid. for most part it plays pretty well. I have noticed a few times it kicking back to the load rom screen. its the app itself. it needs to be updated again and more optimized. majority of time it works great.
do your save states work on it? I never can seem to get it to work.
I have SnesDroid, Genedroid, FPse, N64oid, Neodroid(my favorite. plays and looks really good), & DoomGLES(best doom emulator out there. has updated 3d graphics, lighting effects, and more)

Interesting hmm... Ok what firmware are you running? Are you stock? Where do you store the games? If on a SD card, what brand and speed? "Oddly" enough my save/loadstates work perfectly. Really starting to think that it's the app... Probably not so good with ICS and/or multicore CPUs :S. I don't seem to have any problems with Fpse etc.
I'm on the latest firmware .15 on the prime. I'm still on stock rom but rooted and overclocked to 1.6Ghz. I store all my games on the device itself. haven't went out and bought a nice size memory card yet. all rom files except FPse ones are small. PlayStation roms are the big ones. maybe that's why I don't experience any stutter. prime will read rom data faster off the device itself. maybe you need a faster/higher class memory card. so prime can read it faster.

I'm on the same firmware. But not rooted (shouldn't make a difference) or overclocked. I tried running games off of the internal memory, no difference. But I kinda knew that since I'm using a Samsung 32Gb Class 10 MicroSD card >.<. Could you try playing some games on stock speed? Preferably via HDMI since that makes it more obvious. And last but not least. What setting you using in the app? Frameskip? Stretch Sounds?
Thanks!

rooting and overclock doesn't make a difference. I play most of the time on stock speeds and use the default set up in snesdroid. I don't change anything as it works good as is. its only FPse and neodroid that I may change some settings. have you tried uninstalling then installing again? maybe even a soft reset, which won't delete any data but will clear any faulty coding and files.
I wish I could find a dreamcast emulator or a 3DO one. I just got the TurboGraphix16 one and works great.

Thanks! That narrows it down to app settings. I know I've changed them so gonna restore the default settings and try again . I heard about a Dreamcast emulator online. But apparently the guy working on it has kept it for himself so far =/. Maybe in the future...
Sorry to bump old post. I had another user experience this same issue. I'm trying to track down possible causes.
One setting to adjust for sure is the audio stretch. Reduce it to 0, if you hear no crackles then great.

I'm pretty sure I've never noticed stutters from SNESoid. From PSX4Droid and N64oid sure, but not SNESoid.
I disable audio though because I'm always listening to music, maybe that helps?
Hey, I'm new here so sorry if I have posted in the wrong place!
I've been experiencing lag when playing most games on my One X+, even Tegra optimised ones. Shadowgun THD is very choppy and so is Deadzone, GTA 3 is choppy, Dead Trigger isn't great but is fairly smooth and what confuses me is that Riptide GP plays well and Mass Effect Infiltrator is good too. I'm using this phone in the UK on O2. I'm wondering whether I have a faulty device or a software issue? Normal day to day use has been lag free. I've seen some users saying that their One X+'s are playing games very smoothly so any feedback/advice from other users would be greatly appreciated
Hey there man! Welcome to xda! This is a queer problem you are facing, check the ram usage. Perhaps there are several background processes running, bogging the system down. The hardware is perfect, no problem there! If the problem persists after a reboot, try downloading chain fire 3D for better gpu management. Hope i helped!

With power saver mode enabled the battery on mine will easily last a whole day, when playing games the battery is significantly drained though. So yeah, the battery isn't great.
guys this problem has been discusse many times now. take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783260
I don't have my device yet, so cannot confirm, but if i understood all of that the right way the gaming issues are due to cpu-management e.g. governer.
You could also root your device and use setcpu or something similar to set your governer to other states and retry these games.

I installed the insertcoin rom and even with intensive 3d wallpapers, water, mybeach, season zen, etc it is all very smooth prolly above 50fps at all time mainly 60fps, however games like horn and avengers initiative lag for sime reason even though they are supposed to be oiptimized for tegra! they don`t even lag on the nexus 7, wth is going on!
Solution
Guys, if you are experiencing this problem, take a look at the thread nchantmnt posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783260. I rooted my phone (no custom ROM, although I may try one when more become available), I then installed this app and it has fixed my problems . GTA 3 is now smooth and so is Shadowgun Deadzone! Thanks for all your help guys!
Ps: I hope that an official firmware update is released to address this issue! Although this app is a good fix, it would be good to just be able to play games nicely without having to root and run a booster app.
nice to get some feedback and i am glad that this workaround ... well... worked
guys really learn how to use the search functionality or at least google.
i really wonder how many of those threads are going to pop up.
i guess this issue will be adressed soon by htc if not our devs surely will as it simply is a software-issue

I installed it last night on my prime. It does lot for my prime. I also did some of the early investigation to what was really being fixed by this hack. I am glad Cyanogen has confirmed some of my theories. If you are rooted I would highly recommend installing it.

Tried this and also read up a bit on what it does. Unfortunately I don't think what this tries to do is an issue on the Prime. This basically makes sure there is always random data available for apps from a location that will block if there's none available. However, when I ran a command that was constantly consuming all the random data (cat /dev/random > /dev null), I could see that the random data was getting consumed but it wasn't causing a perceptibly adverse effect on anything else.
I also just ran the app for a while, and I didn't notice anything being more responsive. It will consume extra battery though.
Take look at my write up on the Google bug. That is what the author originally thought the problem was. What is probably going on is kernel lock contention due to the code that generates entropy when the pool is depleted.
Installed it just now, no discernible effect. Quick reboot... Chameleon launcher, app switching, Chrome, all smooth as butter. I am gobsmacked! I think have a feeling this works well for me because of the number of connections made by Chameleon, logged in accounts (I have 9 accounts logged in at all times) and apps syncing that I regularly exhaust the block device. Add to our already slow IO, any blocking at the kernel level will be multipled.
Going to monitor it some more and report back on battery life and any further observations. Thanks for the share! :good:

I have done some benchmarks and it makes no difference to those whatsoever. This bothers me because I can't understand if this is supposed to do nothing, how does my device run orders of magnitude snappier all the time while running this compared with intermittent lag that I usually get (for example: waiting 1-3 seconds for the recent app list to show normally vs instant with this mod) . The CPU governor can't be it: I set cpu to max and use the performance governor and I still have massive lag. I have tried numerous things for I/O: different schedulers, different mount options to reduce writes on reads and improve write speed ie. noatime, nodiratime, discard, and nothing works! I have tried to narrow down a single process that causes the lag, no dice. I know I only have just under 2 days of testing behind me and yes I only have anecdotal evidence but I have been running this a long enough time with absolutely zero lag that I can't say it makes no difference for me. I'll continue testing but so far it has been too long to be placebo IMO.

Haha benchmarks dont equate to real life performance. Benchmark scores have been decreasing since gingerbread even though the new software makes everything faster
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
The reason why your device *feels* snappier is because constant I/O activity ensures the CPU will remain at rather high clocks, producing the effect of a smoother experience at the expense of massive battery drain. The explanation of increasing the entropy does nothing by itself, you could cause a lot of I/O activity to anywhere in the emmc and it would produce a similar effect.

Indeed. That was my point, benchmark results were unchanged but user experience is different. Hrrrm
Didn't do anything for me. Uninstalled it.
Thanks for finding this
I was skeptical as many are about this. I did not see any improvement in Quadrant scores. I installed this for one reason only and it works!
I stream .m4v movies from my NAS drive to my TV through my TP. Before this was installed I would have problems with stuttering no matter what player I tried. Sometimes I would have problems right away, and depending on the player/movie I could watch about an hour before the stuttering/lag begins. I have been beyond frustrated, especially since my wife has an IPad 2 that plays the same movies flawlessly.
Since installing this I can now play my movies without a hitch. I don't know why, but it works. I only use it for this purpose as my other testing showed no major difference. I turn it off when I am not watching movies as I have read that the battery drain is increased.
I streamed 3 movies this weekend without a problem and 2 of them were back to back and I only used approx 35% battery.
Running AndroWook 1.51 and with 1.6 oc kernal.

I was skeptical as many are about this. I did not see any improvement in Quadrant scores. I installed this for one reason only and it works!
I stream .m4v movies from my NAS drive to my TV through my TP. Before this was installed I would have problems with stuttering no matter what player I tried. Sometimes I would have problems right away, and depending on the player/movie I could watch about an hour before the stuttering/lag begins. I have been beyond frustrated, especially since my wife has an IPad 2 that plays the same movies flawlessly.

+ 1 here. Running last JB update + rooted, wasn't able to play heavy games since the update to JB when we lost the OC kernel from ICS, games were laggy, freezing,almost unplayable. After seeder.apk installation, <i am again able to play NOVA 3, Batman, Spiderman, Asåhalt 7, without any lag and high FPS, seems even better than when my Prime was on ICS OC to 1600. I don't care about what people say but what I experience o preformance, this is something I've learnt after all those years using Android devices. Give it try expecially if you run heavy apps. Battery is a bit worse, but who cares when the prime isnot overheating and run a lot better.

I want to install it too, but as I understand there is no root for current JB yet, or am I wrong?!
