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!!
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
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?

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.
