[Q] Freeze / hang whilst gaming

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?

Please HELP! Games Redrawing / Reloading on Xperia Arc.

I have a brand new Arc. While playing Gameloft games I noticed some kind of Reload where the game somehow freezes for a second than I see the game splash screen and it go to the game pause screen. All this happen several times during gameplay (tested asphalt 6 and star battalion 3.1.6). Also the bluetooth connection freezes and come back (using BT headset).
I also noticed while connected to the wifi and downloading stuff the connection breaks and it connects again (this must be because of the very know problem of ARC WiFi) It looks like the phone is "reloading" "redrawing" the game but it does not poweroff, just games freezes, reloads (show game splash screen) than go to game pause screen. I did not noticed any signs of slowing so I have no Idea whats happening. I updated the phone just after I powered it the first time to 2.3.4. All stock, no root not custom kernel or rom.
Game versions seens to be right to ARC (Star battalion 3.1.6...)
Would it be a RAM problem? Hardware? Android OS? Maybe the Launcher (Go Launcher)
Please help.
P.s: I did not post this on the ARC section becuse it might not be related to ARC but to the OS or the game itself.
Thanks a lot

3D games Fc'ing!?

Ok, So I haven't really use the Tegra3 for games, and decided to try some games today and have been really dissapointed.
I have tried Soulcraft THD, Zenpinball, Dungeon defenders, GOF2 THD.
ALL do not work properly. I mean that in some way or other I get either a Force close, or some flickering/reboot when i go in a menu, or it simply won't load (stuck on loading progress bar).
Weird? normal?
Osmos HD plays just fine, why won't 3D applications from Tegrazone not work also?
Just needed to vent and hear if anyone had any similar problems.
Specific glitches noticed on my Prime (forced GPU rendering, Performance mode on/off doesn't impact how the games play).
Soulcraft: won't let me pass the loading bar
GOF2 THD: let me play at first but if I tap "options", screen flickers and force closes
Dungeon Defenders: won't let me pass the spinning/loading wheel at the beginning.
Reboot, retry. Works for me when I get flickering.
I had this problem until i installed Virtuous Prime 3 days ago and haven't had it since
will try rebooting... again...
Maybe i'll jump the gun on V3... thanks for the feedback guyz!
I used to reboot before I played any 3D game...but then I started using Fast Reboot which does a fake reboot by closing and restarting a bunch of background apps. This seems to cure the FC/hangs. Sometimes just using Asus Task Manager to close all running apps would work too, but Fast Reboot definitely does the trick.

Strange game crashes

Games Like Chaos Rings Omega/1 and games like Guardian cross, all square enix games play for a few times on my device running freeza's touchwizless rom but after a while the game will not boot at all and shows a slight lag when pressing to launch the app. Has any else experienced this problem?
Apparently found my own answer again. Any Square Enix game will not work on rooted devices. Chaos rings, Guardian Cross etc will force close upon searching for superuser apk. Fun stuff.

Problem when running games, or something like that

Hello, I don't know if my post will be understood enough, I'm not a native speaker.
I don't play often games on my F1 but sometimes I did, after update to Miui 11 I can't run any games. Every game freezes with black screen and nothing happens. Even Game turbo doesn't shows its message that it's enabled itself. Do You have any ideas what happened and how to fix it? I'm sad because I must travel a lot and want to play something sometimes
