Not only killed my battery while downloading the needed DLC.
On top of that, my phone was boiling to the touch! And, after all that hassle.....the game lags! Didn't expect bad performance at all
Alright, just to add...
For some ODD reason, the CPU usage on this phone spikes HARD It's usually bouncing around 40-70%, that would explain the stutter in some games. Now to figure out how to fix this problem...

I've noticed that this phone stutters randomly when switching from app to app sometimes. I notice it happen when I am playing music via Poweramp, and then switch to maps, n when it loads the map, the song stutters hardly. I dont mean it skips a beat or something, it actually breaks the song and make it sound mechanical for a second before resuming the song properly.
Now I don't know if it's the phone itself, an app installed (maybe ram manager?) or just the lack of available Ram on the phone that is causing this, but it's sad and worrying to see a dual core 1.5Ghz cpu stutter under a light load switch. Anybody notice that the free Ram left on this phone is generally alarmingly low, around 130MB left out of 783MB? What is eating up so much Ram on this phone? When I was on the Atrix, I generally still have 300-400MB left free to be used (I dont recall whether it actually has the full 1000MB available or also 783MB though) and I never experience stuttering.
Is this resolution really tasking the CPU? or is it because it has to render these apps to fit properly in the 720P resolution?
p.s. Another game that lags: Jelly Defense, when you have a lot of enemies flowing down the path, it starts getting choppy.
As I mentioned, I'm pretty sure it's the CPU spikes doing it. I have around 400mb free of ram also. I know Dungeon Defenders lags on the Galaxy Nexus as well, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have as many problems. Then again, it was built on ICS
Grab Memory Booster Lite and you can monitor how much RAM is being used as well as the CPU % for each task
Is Dungeon Defenders working for everyone else? I can run it for about 30 seconds and then it just closes. No force close message or anything, it just freezes for a second or two and then disappears.

after a thorough freezing, go launcher shows me at ~580M free on a fresh reboot and usually running low 500M free mem at any time, running 510M free right this second. this is with RAM manager, which by my estimates accounts for 5% in that #

Do you experience any lags on Dungeon Defenders (if you have it)? Or do some of your games stutter like bmxant's?

Hi!
I had a problem with my DHD - when I was playing 3D games it started to stutter i.e. my phone will work slow if the game runs. I checked the debugging USB in settings and the problem has gone.
It returned a few days ago, although I have checked debugging USB the games are slowing down (there're lags). I have only google account (any facebook, htc sense etc.) and I use Advanced Kill Manager.
My resources consumption in "rest" are: CPU - 3-20%, RAM - 274 MB (by Elixir), also I have free space - on phone 702 MB, and SD (class 4) 6,35 GB.
What now is the problem and how to fix it? How can I reduce the consumption of resources and although a little improve performance?
Thx for reply.
Hi. Could it be that you enable auto-sync? cause this will definitely contribute to lags if the data in sync'ing while you're playing games.
By the way, I would advice you to uninstall any task killers. It will not only consume more resources(e.g. battery) and it will also lag your device.
Today I did hard-reset (like before) and the problem has gone again.
Strange... Thx for advice
Task killers set to auto kill might slow your phone down, but using them to auto kill on say 3 hours, or never, will (in my opinion) help your phone.
Some apps might start hogging up resources and 3d games will start to lag, so whenever that happens, just kill any non important apps. Android isn't perfect with memory manegment..
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Has anyone else noticed that when using apps that connect with the internet that around the camera the phone heats up a lot?
happens pretty quick too.. after a couple of minutes you notice it will be warmer than the bottom of the phone.
never noticed that on my DHD.
Just wondering.
I have had it happening. Playing music does that, but Angry Birds Seasons is the worst offender, so much that it stutters and crash out.
This is definitely an issue. Any cpu intensive app has caused the camera area to get extremely hot, and some of those apps have then crashed. I think its something that will be bad enough to require some attention
Hello,
I am the owner of SGN since september.
I am really disappointed, because there seems to be a problem with 3D graphics performance: and to be precise with its FPS consistence. In some 3D excessive games (GTA in particular, but also Trials Xtreme 3, NFS:MW and other AAA titles) there seems to be a problem: there is a certain interval of time when a game works perfectly, and then for a few seconds it slows down WITHOUT A REASON and then plays good again. This seems to be particulary a problem in GTA games where the game slows down to a mere 4 FPS, and then continues to run flawlessly for 20-30 seconds, then slows down again for a few, and so on.
PLEASE help me xda, you are my only hope. Noone seems to have a clue on what can potentially cause this weird problem.
do you have force gpu rendering turned on? anything running in the background? what about facebook syncing?

First of all, thanks for Your response.
Yes, I did triet turning the force GPU thingy on. Doesn't seem to help.
I think background apps are not an issue since I tested my phone after formatting it and it was clean.
Facebook syncing? What do you mean?
If you use the Facebook app, it might constantly trying to sync. You said you had the same problem on a clean install though so I'm thinking that's not the problem
I bet that the cpu is at 70 C, and the Thermal Throttle enter in function.
I had the same problem with dead trigger (i found that it automaically set up the Tegra effect)

Yes, the phone do gets quite hot after a while actually!
So is this behaviour normal? And how should I fix this, if it is at all doable?

When the cpu reaches the thermal throttal temperature (about 70°C) it slows the cpu down so that it cools down. When it reaches the 70°C mark again the procedure repeats. So if you would turn thermal throttle off it shouldnt happen again I THINK. But I dont recommend doing that. Stay safe, keep your baby safe (gnex )

Well, I cant find these "power saving" options mentioned in a thread above. Can anyone help me to find them? Are they even present in SGN?
And how can I disable thermal throttling, just for the test?
And thanks for all the help so far!
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 ?

Hello guys.
I had some issues with my Galaxy A70. It's lagging like hell while playing garena free fire, my device can handle the game without any issue but I Don't know why this happens.
The problem is when I play the game first 2-3 minutes game works fine but after 2-3 minutes game starts lagging phone slows down and touch sensitivity feels really heavy even game controls seems heavy I can't get fine movement because of this issue. And when I close the game phone seems so much slower it takes 10 seconds to open an app.
And while playing a game when I open the game control menu and close it, game works fine for 1-2 minutes and again it starts lagging. I hope someone here can help me with this issue. Any advice would be much appreciated
My device is not rooted and I'm on android 11 latest version.
Sorry for bad English
It called "thermal throttling".
Most smartphone will thermal throttle when the processor got too hot. Try lower your game setting. This can reduce the heat on the processor, and thus reduce the lag.

I accept your solution. but I'm already playing on lower settings the game lagging also on lower settings. I've tried factory data reset and after that lag disappeared for 2 or 3 days and again after 3 days lag came back I only downloaded the game (downloaded game after factory reset)
I think it's not" thermal throttling " maybe some systems apps causing the issue? Cuz every system has high usage
I've noticed every system apps running at 100%high frequency everytime, I think that might be the issue how can I fix this issue?

Disable you game launcher because when your phone heats up ,it drop your screen frame rate(fps) and also decrease your volume that cause so much of lagging issue.
My suggestion was to use a custom rom to get best gaming experience
It could be anything but if it is related to hardware section u can do nothing. So first of all u need to tell us about the CPU. If it's low-end or entry level CPU u can't play anything on it.
If it's mid-range, I can help u.
I have a phone running on mediatek helio g85 powered by android 12
I face the same issue as you do because I did an update of my os. So don't update your os.
And you need to charge 100% everytime you play. You need to restart the phone or clear the cache of your game before you play. Don't use your mobile data because it will heat up your phone quickly and don't run apps in background like Avast, Facebook Messenger etc. Try to remove your back cover and hold the phone like near a fan and turn off your volume u will notice a big difference and take a break after 30 minutes to cool down and power off the phone and don't use your phone at night power it off.
Also lower your brightness I mean u can play at night time it will not heat up your phone
