I'm having low fps in games - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I've just bought an Xperia z2. I'm having low fps in games like asphalt 8, real racing 3. It was the same with kitkat, i updated my phone to lollipop but nothing's changed. I'm still having low fps. I searched on net but it looks like nobody is having the problems like me. I'm getting about 41000 points in antutu. My phone is not rooted. Please help me with this problem.
Note: Sorry for my bad english

What do you mean by low fps? Asphalt 8 is a very GPU intensive game, all Snapdragon 800/801 chips with adreno 330 get average fps of 32, it drops to 24 sometimes.
Unless for you it's real choppy, like with stutter or real low framerate like 10 or something, try a factory reset. Do it from recovery to completely wipe everything. And if that doesn't do anything, could be something with your phone.
And where did you put those games? Maybe you put them on external SD card? It may be slower compared to built in memory which could result in game stuttering constantly.

this can depend on the quality of your MicroSD
i thought it may be specific to S800/801 because anything that's not a 800/801 has much less of a hard time playing games

I have a class10 microsd. Anyway the game was already installed in phone storage. I moved it to my sdcard, nothing changed.

Those racing games are capped at 30 FPS max, even if your GPU is capable of doing more, in order to save some battery and prevent over heating. I am assuming you have a past full of games like them so your eyes are educated of catching the "between-frames" thus making you think the game is not rendered smooth enough. Most probably nothing is wrong with your phone.

[Q] Why does angry birds lag?

Why does angry birds lag on this phone? Is that normal? Oh, and merry christmas everyone!
It is designed for high performance devices. It isn't designed for mdpi devices like our Optimus.
There will come a lite version soon. Same levels but optimized for budget-phones.
i have same problems with many games so not try to play them, uninstall )
The youtube videos i've seen show angry birds running really well, with other games too. Also the 3D benchmarks i've seen show this phone getting about double the performance as a nexus one.
Whats up with that? Maybe the 2.3 fix for the touchscreen problem will make them run well?
But the game isn`t even 3D. Then it must be the physics of the game that is choking the CPU? 600mhz should be enough for that simple game
Yeah, it's the physics that lag the game. It only lags during the initial setup of the objects and after you hit a bunch of stuff (has to recalculate their position.) It's simply a matter CPU power; not much we can do
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Also try installing the game on your phone memory. It sped up Angry Birds for me. My memory card is Class 2 so that made it really slow. Phone memory improved it a lot.
It's laging when it's loading. If you would give this game few seconds to load levels and etc, you could play it smoothly.
Angry birds is designed for high class Android devices, not for medium class devices like our Optimus One.
The thing that lags is game physics.
If you want to play it without lag, and score many points in the benchmarks, you can install Megatron ROM. It's has many modifications, that allows Optimus One to go further with perfomance.
Yeah, been thinking about flashing megatron and some overclocking, that should do the trick
This all seems strange since my 2G ipod touch (400 mhz) runs it perfect.
If you will not touch display during play it will be really smooth.
Its know problem with 100% load if you touch display. This problem occurs on more devices with Android OS, but some times it's not so big problem like on OO. Google promised that in Android 2.3 Gingerbread most problems with touchscreen was optimized.

I tried the lite beta version. It is crashing on intial screen. Hoping they come out with a sstable version very soon.
I have set my CPU speed to 768 mhz and i can play AB nearly good. Its laggin for a few second at the beginning of a level but than i can play without lags.
I have enabled JIT and HA too.
Thats bull****.
Angry birds runs on my iPodTouch 2G (533mhz) extremely smooth only the Menu lags on it.
On my Optimus One the Menu is VERY smooth no lag at all but playing it laggs ONLY when touching the Screen (shooting a bird) or when it crushes into the wood/stones etc.. ingame.
To me it looks like a Performance Bug in the LG ROM. Also
on my damn iPod Touch 2G, NFS Undercover works very well.
Didnt tried it yet on my Optimus One I also use the stock Firmware.
I compare the Optimus One with my iPod Touch 2G because they are quite similar.
Same resolution nearly the same Processor speed. But of course the iPodTouch 2G is weaker.
On the Hardware side the Optimus One should play all games fairly well. On my ****ty iPod I even played GTA Chinatown Wars.
I hope 2.3 Gingerbread will fix that!!
Angry Birds lags especially in the later levels
levels 1 and the more simpler levels are fast but levels such as 1-21 lags cuz there's a lot of blocks and things to position.
But, does anyone know why an Ipod touch 2g with even a lower clocked processor is faster and smoother than our Optimuses?
Mine does lag, but it isn't frequent. Not really a major annoyance for me. Just try killing some background apps you're using (like facebook, but for some reason it respawns).

Might be because apps on the ipod/iphone only have to be optimized for a few different CPU's but mostly the same hardware, with android, there's a wide range of devices with different CPU speeds, different graphics chipsets, different ROMs, so it's hard to get it optimized unlike on the iPod/iPhone

I also have a 2G ipod touch and these are my thoughts exactly! I don't have my Optimus T yet, it's waiting at the post office for me back at home, but i'm eagerly awaiting gingerbread too!

im annoyed at the lag though

Modern Combat 3 Laggy Singleplayer (SGS2)

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..

Got no framerate issue here. Try looking for a newer version.

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...

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.

Modern Combat 4

Downloading it now. It better run as I paid £4.99!!! There doesn't seem to be much graphics improvement in the screen shots not that the game needed it. There is a new engine though so we'll see how it goes.
THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!! It looks and plays exactly like the gameplay I've seen on the nexus 7, totally smooth. If you liked MC3 you're gonna love this.

Actually the graphics are considerably better. Gameloft implemented the Havok engine and increased the polygon count. The game is not running with full graphics on our devices or the Nexus 7, so keep that in mind.

I am running Android 2.3 on my Player 4.0 and the framerate is at a barely playable 10fps or so. Is anyone running this game on an Android 4.0 ROM, and if so, how well does it run?
Totally smooth? What device are you using? On my SGP 5.0 Stock ROM (2.3.5) it runs from 10-15 FPS to 30-35 FPS. Not much enjoyable...

Galaxy Player 5 i'm using. 1.2GHz with no background tasks. I'm probally getting around 60-80fps but it's a rough guess.

I'm on Remics ICS which is an excellent ROM. I'm assuming Chainfire will unlock the full graphics? Not that i'll be able to run it without lag on that lol.

Same here, 1.2GHz.
Premising that almost all games (included MC4) are capped at 60FPS, and according to a system app, our screen can reach 68Hz of refreshing rate, so it is not possible to see truly 80 FPS (the difference between 60 and 80 is hardly noticeable, even on higher refresh rate).
60 FPS imho means perfect on this devices, perfectly smooth...
You can try <this> to see how many frames are showed.

Just tested the fps app. Says I'm getting around 39fps which didn't seem allot yet I've watched some gameplay of MC4 on the Nexus 7 and it looks just as smooth. No lag at all.

That was the case with NOVA 3, but not MC3 or MC4, which were developed by different Gameloft branches. I guess that also explains the general lack of new features in MC4, too... still no jumping, going prone, multiplayer voice chat, or drivable multiplayer vehicles; and using the same enemy AI and multiplayer money system as before.
For whatever reason my Player 4 decided to be nice when I started MC4 today, and even though I am only running stock rooted 2.3.6, I got average framerates of 30-40fps, with a low at 20 and several highs being 50fps.
Quite interesting, as every other time I played the game, it ran anywhere from 10-25fps.

My Z2 is lagging with games

my z2 is lagging while running Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8 .. slutters within the games even worse than my old note 2 .. while on antutu it reachs 43K score .. it's supposed to be one of the Best and decent devices with Snapdragon 801 and Adreno 330 ... why is it lagging then?

Did you try reflashing your firmware, without any branding etc.

Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
I think it might have something to do with the android version...
Consider going back to Kitkat and test these games again...
You shouldn't have a single problem, even with multiple apps in the background
Better use a class 10 or above MC.
Clear unused app,
Try any game booster.

i don't have SD Card at all in my phone
so there is no other solution than going back to kit kat? i like lollipop way more
It's probably caused by overheating. It happened to me as well when I played it. RR3 is a heavy working game. Continuous playing increases the heat. Heat decreases the touch sensitivity as well as drops performance. RR3 is bad for phone life.

Decresed performance after update-Need Help

Hi
im using POCOPHONE F1
andoird 10
MIUI 11.0.4 stable
no custom rom/kernel
and recently(after latest updates) my phone got so much slower and random freezes/fps drops happen even on very low graphics (in games)
gave Antutu benchmark a shot to see if its score got lower too
but i get a very good benchmark score of 363k
anyone knows whats wrong?

A lot of people don't believe antutu benchmarks. If u are playing games like pubg, everytime they(pubgm) send an update the phone again lags. And this happens with everyone.
I am on 11.0.5 and while playing pubgm, if enemy is not around me i get almost 50-60 fps in low settings. But when enemy is near, render lag happens and frame drops to as low as 30-40 fps.

Hi,
Kindly factory reset the device. I did the same and now the device runs without any issues. Earlier my device used to stutter and using camera for even a minute would heat it up.
I would recommend doing the update again via TWRP (If rooted, then reflash magisk). If not rooted, before doing a factory reset, try checking dev options and change the game driver settings of whatever game you are using to new driver. If still not working, then do a backup and do a factory reset.
