!!!SOLVED!!!: Stable HangUPs in 3D CPU intense games on all ROMs

Hey guys,
i got stable hung ups in 3D intense games (asphalt5, dungeon hunter 3D, crusade of destiny)
some 3-10 mins of play and bang! you got complete stall - have to plug out the battery to reboot.
all other games (2D arcades, tetrises, arcanoids, pacmans) are working quite stable.
i've already tried almost all available ROMS (except stock non rooted one, btw - i dont want to update HBOOT to 0.8, full reset with wiping all the caches inc. dalvik and ext3 part before each ROM.)
pays ROM (several vers)
MCR r2-r3.1 (with richard's kernel either with OCUV or with OC only or without any UVOC and with original MCK 1.1 kernel)
amer_mod des final
all are behaving the same....
what the heck? My phone is generic and certified for Russia (PCT) and it's from white shipment.
the only idea i have is slow SD, cause i use the one which was with the phone - 4GB class2 SD.
please ideas? i wanna play some time not only tetris!

just noticed one moment. it happenes not only in 3D games, it also happenes when using the phone intensively, i.e. now I got stable instant reboot when using internal browser (even with pictures and flash turned off) and opera beta for android. the most interesting part is that just before reboot the back bottom part of the phone becomes noticeable warmer, let's say about 40°c and then instant reboot. (just as it is in 3d games) I use Richards OC only (no UV) kernel v14 with Max freq. set to 998 and MCR r3.1 (everything was wiped upon flash)

Re: Stable HangUPs in 3D CPU intense games on all ROMs
Maybe its some kind of thermal protection of the cpu?

i thought so too...
does any one knows some king of CPU thermal monitoring tool with logs for android?

Happens to me as well. The phone heats up like crazy particularly on badly coded games like the ones gameloft released. For example polarbit's armaggedon squadron runs perfectly well for any amount of time but realfootball for example causes the phone to overheat.
They really botched their ports.

just did a thermal monitoring with tempmonitor lite - but on Desite it only monitors BATTERY temp - it's about 32-33 degrees - so far i found no CPU temp mon which works. and still phone reboots during hard flash playing in about 10 mins with battery temp about 32-33 degrees. i also noticed an infinite boot loop when turning on the phone with AC plugged in. (it starting to load sense and just after SD card preparing notification STABLE instant reboot, though it may not be related)
will try to use stock ROM today (i still have the very first nandroid backup)

Try to uv without oc...should get the temps down.

Any of you guys still experiencing these problems? Have an untouched desire (sim free) that hasnt been unlocked or rooted and sometimes (although rarely) the phone just restarts itself.

UV only kernel reported to have some stability probs....
when u use OC only kernel and, as in my case, set up max. freq to 998 it literally means that you just dont user any OC. so overclocking is not the issue...

My phone reboots when I'm playing robo wars, when the battery is LOWish and Im charging the phone at the same time. No battery warning, just reboots. If I have a good charge on the phone, and am charging then it seems fine. This is NOT a lock up, like the original thread starter, but a straight old reboot... Annoying, but I dont play robowars when there is low charge from now on!

i got complete lock ups with only one game (heard rumors about it's bad coding style) the rest issues just reboots the phone. also i noticed that it reboots more frequent when using the phone and it's connected to charger simultaneously.

!!!UPDATE!!! 27.06.10
got back my Desire from the service after 10 days. They've changed motherboard (IMEI also changed) and no more overheating problems!!! HOORAAAY!!!!!!
It's working now even under high load!!!!

[Q] phone rebooting during games CM 7.0.3.1

Hey all. I've been a devoted Cyanogenmod user since my OG Droid days. By far the greatest rom to grace the Android platform. I'm having a problem with my phone randomly rebooting during use. It only happens when I am playing games on my phone. So far, the only games I've noticed to cause my phone to reboot are Drag Racing and X-Plane 9, which are the only two games I've been playing lately. I haven't played Angry Birds or X-Construct or anything else long enough to see the same results. I've also noticed my phone gets a little hot when this occurs. I don't have my phone overclocked or anything, just basic profiles on Set PCU to save the battery life, which I have turned off for the past few days to see if there would be any changes. So far, nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

remove setcpu,
go into cyanogenmod settings and choose govenor settings from there.
make sure your using stock kernel (you are, unless you flashed something different)
get kernel manager from app market and play with whats out there to see what gets you better performance
Happy Flashing!!

Pocket Legends crashes

Hi all,
Anyone playing Pocket Legends on the SGS2? It randomly crashes on me, sometimes 3 times in 5 minutes, sometimes once an hour, just wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
I have background data and auto sync turned off when I play.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I originally started with everything on, I've been trying to disable apps one by one to see if it's affecting it but it always seems to randomly crash. I might try changing some in game settings and see how that goes.

Hey,
I've been having the same problem, thought it might just be me. Sometimes it works for ages without any problems. Other times it can crash within 5 minutes.
Stock galaxy s2, using launcher pro. Not rooted.......yet!

Is it getting hot? Using OC and 3D games sometimes I had random reboots so I made a profile to lower the CPU freq down to 800 MHz when temp getting over 42°C

No I don't really feel it getting hot, although I do have a TPU case so maybe I can't feel it.
I haven't had a crash since setting the battery savings slider to the right, but it also makes the game very choppy. Seems like a common issue with SGS2's so hopefully they fix it soon.

Hi there!
Expierenced the same yesterday.
Game runs pretty fine, but phone's getting pretty hot (near the cam lense). Usually this doesn't happen - well, not that hot
Didn't actually meassured temperature or anything 'til now...
2 Suggestions:
1. MALI (IIRC) Chip -> Chainfire3D worth a try?
2. Modem: Possibly Pocket Legends gets hick-ups, when data connection's getting lost (like 3G->H+ switch or something). Anyone tried playing through WLAN?
bye

I installed tonight for the first time. Been having a few similar problems. How did you do that profile by the way?

Same here, crashes after playing for like 5 minutes. When I check the battery temp, it's around 35°C so that shouldn't be the problem.

Send a dev tyrol the pocket legends team some logs and he dates org looks like the task manager is killing the game for some reason. He can't work out why.

Posted this issue on PocketLegends FB page and invited them to join the discussion here - well, this is about 2-3 weeks ago. Sadly they didn't join, as far as I see...
Anyone found a solution for that yet?

Same problem here. The game freezes and phone gets hot.

Hello,
I played more than 1h without any lag/freeze/crash
Just disabled sound, music, high quality options and changed battery saver to 50%.
Here is my config for Pocket Legends:
imageshack.us/f/856/options2.jpg
imageshack.us/f/850/options1.jpg
Smartphone: SGS2
So please check it on your Samsung galaxy s2 and reply if this works.
Regards

Hello! I've been lurking for a while now, in hopes that someone would figure it out. The battery saving-settings worked for a while, but then I experienced freezing again.
After reading a thread in the official PL forums i tried this:
I downloaded the winamp music player app and made it my default player.
(i did this because the only logs they've recieved that contained a crash, were sound related "libsoundpool.so")
After doing that, I have played two runs through all Forest Haven levels without the game freezing!
One run without sound, and one run with sound.
Both runs with high quality, and all that. No battery saving settings.
Maybe it'll start freezing again in a while. But give it a try if you want.
(newbie, so I can't post outside links, but the thread I'm referring to is in "Technical Issues and Bugs" section, titled "sound effects occur despite being turned off", and the answer came from Otukura)
Edit: Nope, froze again. Once in Forest Haven, and about 4 times when fighting keeper...

Guys who are using Lite'ning 1.5 ROM, can you try to:
Clear memory in (stock) Task Manager
Launch (stock) Music app and leave it open in background
Play Pocket Legends
Maybe it's just coincidence, but i was able to play PL for about 3 hours without a single freeze. On stock and Villain ROMs it just kept crashing every few minutes. Will keep testing..
*Most settings in game left at default values (high quality, FX/music - on).
EDIT: So, i've played another ~3 hours and no problems so far. Tried to run game without starting Music player and game froze in 10-15 mins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2: ~11 hours of gaming wihout crash. Tried few other ROMs, but PL just kept crashing. Now i'm on Lite'ning 1,5 again and game works.

You don't need Pocket Legends anymore now that Order & Chaos is out.

Thank you very much! Now you can sell your car and get a horse.

Anything new on that front?

Nothing new so far...I hope they will solve this problem soon...the only thing I wonder is that it only crashes when I do quests...Of crouse I didnt do everything in the game yet...but whenever I do a quest it mostly crashes...and when I just hang out nothing happens...I hope they will fix this...

Lite'ning 1,5 ROM + music app runing in the background does the job, no single freeze. Confirmed by two other guys.

[Q] Framerate issues?

Whenever I play a game, whether it be Temple Run, or Fruit Ninja, my framerate drops to around 30 (rough estimate) whenever I touch the screen. If I don't touch anything, it runs perfectly, around 60FPS. I've tried re-flashing the ROM and Kernel multiple times, and letting it settle for a few hours before trying, but I always get the same result. The lag doesn't seem to happen before I install any apps, but an Android phone without apps is a bit pointless. I'm hoping that there's another cause to my problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
I'm running AOKP Build 34 with Franco's kernel, Milestone 3
Stock CPU values
Stock ICS Launcher
Changing the CPU governor does nothing to alleviate the framerate drop
Thanks for any help!

When last time u.have done FULL wipe? If been awhile u should,i have same setup and its running perfect

I always do a full wipe (wipe cache twice, wipe system twice, and wipe data twice) before installing new ROMS. Could it be because I forgot to wipe Dalvik? Or is that already part of the cache partition?
EDIT: Apparently, the cause of the lag was the "Show touches" toggle, in the developers section of the settings menu. It doesn't lag on my Skyrocket, so I'm a bit curious as to why it lags my GNex. Can someone else verify this?

G3 lag and high temperature shutdowns

I've had my G3 since launch and it's always lagged really bad when I've been using more than 1 app at once e.g., listening to music and web browsing. The device reaches 95c and then shuts down so I've had to downclock the CPU to 1.9ghz to stop the shutdowns. With it underclocked, it lags even worse now and still reaches quite high temps (75c~) I'm still on a rooted Kitkat as I haven't had time to upgrade the ROM. Do the new 5.xx ROM's fix the lag? Does it still over heat when doing really simple things?

Hi,
When i was on the stock 5.0 (20h) i had a bit of overheating but never reached the point of a shutdown.
Now I'm on a custom Rom (cloudy 2.5) and i have no heating issues, and a very good battery life.
You can try flashing the latest KDZ for your device and test it. You should also check that you don't have a process eating resources running in the background.
For me the only application that lags is the phone/agenda. It is bad lagging when you have many contacts.
I hope it helps.

flash new rom clougyg3 v2.5...works wonders ....avoid task killers ...use system ui with expose installer if you want some customization...

95c? thats frying hot and not safe at all. I guess since you have had it since launch you cant return it. try custom roms and kernels and if it doesnt still fix, i d say go for another device.

assuming you are rooted and have twrp, you can try the ctt mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/thermal-mod-t2907363
worked for me and im on stock rom stock kernel kitkat(vs985). i just got on opera browser for about 6 minutes and the temp just sat at 55c and the power button is not even warm. before flashing the ctt mod i would start blowing at the back of my phone after 2 minutes of web browsing alone.
