Play through Plants vs Zombies and after you get past the first several levels, random crashing.
This is with any combination of rom's/kernels (starburst / midnight)
I even completely wiped my phone, re-flashed the bone stock rom/kernel and re-downloaded Plants vs Zombies and started a new game - same thing.
search is your friend. alot of games have crashes.
Yeah, I had searched but apparently not thoroughly enough.
This appears to be related to an audio issue. As Plants V Zombies only allows turning volume down to zero rather than disabling audio entirely, I don't believe there is a resolution for the Epic 4g touch at this time.
I am using the version from the amazon app store and not having any issues, yet anyway.
Well i am on lv 45 and what i see happen is after the you are over half way in that level it crashes.So on long levels ill exit the game half way then in a few minutes go back and finish the level.It crashes if you are in a long level

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!!
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.

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.
After rooting and doing a hard reset my nitro is significantly faster, but I'm still experiencing stuttering on high quality YouTube videos. It doesn't occur for normal video payback, but does seem to happen using maps or graphics intensive games. The playback will slow down and then go very fast to catch up. Is this just the gpu having a hard time keeping up? Or is this a software problem that can be alleviated through either an update or a fix on my part?

I'm experiencing this myself. I can watch vids on the desktop version of YouTube at 720p with out a problem anything but the app seems to stutter from time to time.
Sent from The Optimus LTE
What particular graphic intensive games are you having trouble running smoothly?
Dragon Fly! ran smoothly, although it gave an "Async" notice that I never saw on my Atrix 4g. Fruit Ninja had issues with lag and Minecraft would stick entirely for a few seconds, although I realize that game is in alpha.
Additionally, Google Maps will often stick when loading up traffic, satellite and other info when trying to move or zoom.
Just some thoughts, trying to see if anyone has similar experiences.
Anyone having any freeze and black screen problem when resuming high end game like Asphalt Xtreme from recent apps ? Often facing this annoying issue..please respond..
not for me.. maybe u have too many apps and other crap hogging your memory space... does ur phone gets hot hot??? then maybeur cpu is throttling.
id clean up the phone. if not factory reset once. the whole process will take an hr or less depending on what you re install, but will give u a new phone

Don't know about other crap bt considering the ram most of the time my average usage is about 2-2.2 gig, i.e 10-12 apps running..and also I'm not getting any abnormal heating (mine stays at around 35°C) for which this annoying issue could occur..XDA examined that OP3 handles throttling very well amongst SD820 powered devices..maybe it's a software glitch ?
What ROM and kernel are you running? Any system modifications (like Xposed)?
I'm not having issues you're describing, the phone can even keep multiple demanding games in background and resume them normally.

Stock Official OOS 3.2.7 Kernel Version 3.18.20-pref+. Not rooted, i.e, no system modification. Mainly the problem's occurring after the game running in background for a long time
So fully stock ... I really don't know why this would happen :/
Can't do much without root, try factory reset or even fresh ROM installation (if you have time and nerves for it).
EDIT: maybe first try modifying build.prop file to keep more stuff in RAM (set that bg_apps value to 64 for example). Nothing to lose here, it might help.
If I remember correctly there's a way to do it via ADB without root. Google for a guide.

There is no problem keeping up to 20-23 apps in memory. But only apps. No games. And I'm facing this issue with Asphalt Xtreme only. I watched videos where same problems happening with Asphalt 8 and GTA SA when they are being fetched from ram. May be I should put my device into test with some heavy games keeping in background ?
It may be due to game then, if it's only one app that refuses to resume.
I've never personally tried GTA, but Asphalt 8 didn't cause issues. It stayed in RAM for hours and I was playing other high-end games in between.
The only game that constantly kept closing in background on my device is Riptide GP: Renegade. That one closed almost any time I opened another app. But it wasn't crashing or having black screens or sth like that, it just loaded up fresh when I tried to resume it.
Everything else that I tried resumes nicely after longer periods of time. For example: Real Racing 3, CSR Racing 1 & 2, and a bit less demanding games like Temple Run 2, Construction City, Atomas, card games ... pretty much anything.
I've only installed Asphalt Xtreme yesterday, haven't played much so can't yet say much about it. Will report in following days if I find anything interesting.

same here with Renegade. I checked again. Normal games are kept in memory with others apps with no problem. But for Asphalt Xtreme after long time in background it keeps showing black screen when resumed. I've to close it anyway. Will wait for your feedback on Asphalt Xtreme :good:

It seems that Asphalt Xtreme works well for me. Opened it sometime during yesterday afternoon, paused mid-race and continued to use the phone normally for the rest of the day. Tried resuming before I went to bed (~1AM) and it worked normally, instantly went back to where I left it. Paused again, checked mail and news, set alarm and left it over night. Now I'm using the device for 2 hours already, opened 10+ apps, did some updates while charging, quickly started a few other games and then tried resuming Asphalt again. Went right back into the race, no issues.
So ... I guess it's working here ?

i'm also facing an issue with modern combat 5, few minutes into the game, the core go crazy high and temperature shoots up to 46-48C in MSM_THERM in cpu-Z
I've noticed in my own use of my phone that games like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars seem to crash frequently. Usually in a 30 minute gaming session I'll see at least one crash. By crash I mean where the app just closes on its own and goes back to desktop.
I have already tried clearing data from these apps and even reinstalling. I'm also on the latest December 5th patch. In asking around my SO's phone experiences the same issue with Brawl Stars (that's the only game she has installed right now).
I wonder if this has anything to do with RAM management or if it's just my phone. I'm out of ideas right now and the only thing left is a factory reset. It's a lot of effort so I wanted to get an idea of what other users were experiencing before I went ahead with something more complicated.
