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.
turn on developer options and enable force gpu rendering and then reboot phone
I think that a game always force gpu rendering already. I thought this setting was for the operating system.
i dont know, it worked for me, i had lags at frst then turned it on and restarted my phone, every game is smooth, nba 2k16, nova 3, mc5, asphalt 8 iceland etc
the perfomance of my 6p in gaming is not the same as i see in youtube reviews where there is lag, i dont know with u guys though
On occasion I like to play emulators (e.g., NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, GBA.emu etc.) when I travel but, with the MediaPad M5 10.8, I have been experiencing issues in regards to frame drops (stuttering). If I enable 'Frame Skipping', the issue stops but the end result is jank.
I find this surprising as my prior tablet, the Tab S2 9.7, had a SD 652 CPU and could easily handle PPSSPP or ePSXe whereas the Kiron 960s with its Mali-G71 MP8 experiences hiccups on games like Super Mario Bros. It will run PPSSPP or ePSXe but again, like before, frame drops.
No other issues to report aside from this; video/sound playback are optimal (up to 1080P/24FPS/60FPS - but 1440P is a no go) and no overheating. Battery saver is off. I've toggled 'Smart Resolution' on and off without difference.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I love a bit of emulation me, so I'll have a go with PPSSPP tonight on my M5 8.4 SHT-W09. Any PSP games in particular that you've tried that cause you grief?
I haven't gamed heavily, but I recommend deleting Chrome and uninstalling updates to Android System Webview (or experiment with uninstalling updates to Chrome rather than getting rid of it). I saw general improvement from this - and some recommend this for smoother gaming on any Android device (Chrome, or Webview if Chrome is disabled, serves as a system process that is used by many apps, so glitchy or otherwise heavy updates cause issues system-wide).
If rooted you may be able to clock the gpu higher for specific apps. See this Mate 9 thread (Mate 9 shares the same cpu/gpu):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/mate9-takes-advantage-1ghz-gpu-t3601524
additionally go for the display options
try disabling smart resolution, fiddling around with the dpi in the development settings etc. I don't really play games a lot but cytus 2 and hearthstone are fine. Ark was a mess though

While I don't play emulation games, I think that many apps are written for SD only. I had came across a number of apps that cannot be installed on this tablet without sideloading and suspect that the CPU is the reason. This could cause the problems you are experiencing?

Thanks to everyone who followed up. Most appreciated!
I've been working away at this for a couple days now.
I've been using 3C Toolbox Pro to freeze unnecessary applications (including the ones previously suggested), used various governors and CPU configurations (all cores overclocked, all cores online etc), enabled GPU rendering, utilized smart resolution, disabled animations, disabled battery saver, have all ROMs running off internal (not external storage) and disabled several more broadcast receivers. I went so far to reset the tablet back to stock firmware and the results were the same.
So I'm thinking it's either a hardware issue, an incompatibility with EMUI or an issue with Huawei's implementation of Oreo.
I've already started a return with the Vendor so if the issue continues with the replacement, we can rule out hardware failure.
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
So, i rrecently received my Tab S7 Plus. Mainly for watching anime and playing games. Watching anime is perfect, but when i play games the fps doesn't get higher than
40-48 fps.
This happens while playing Genshin Impact, Cod Mobile and Pubg Mobile. Haven't played any other games.
This is annoying as feck.
So my question is, does anyone else have this problem too? Of so have you fixed it?
You may have enabled 48hz mode in game booster. Game booster plus also have fps limit settings. And Genshin Impact just runs at 40-45 fps most of the time because of bad optimization.

Can you tell me where that option may be? Cus I can't find it
Go to Settings > Apps, touch three dots > Show System Apps, enter search Game Booster, touch a gear icon.
