Develop Bugs

When the phone is rooted, will it fix...?

the small lag people are reporting with this version of the gs2? I know the attnt and other versions dont have that random mini lag that happens once in a while. Would rooting this and installing other roms potentially fix this or is it strictly a processor problem?
Thanks

yup. Like they did with the sensation.
Your'e Welcome!

It definitely isn't the processor to blame. Its software based.

Yeah optimization is one thing that was left out of the equation. I hope Samsung fixes some of the small bugs.

I can live with it, but I'd like to see it fixed with a custom rom or software update. It's still mildly annoying to have a 1.5ghz that underperforms the 1.2 exynos. I imagine when the exynos is overclocked its even more of a beast

Wouldn't be surprised if it was the bloatware making it lag.

Definitely agree!!! I think Samsung will fix it soon. This is one of their flagship phones so we should be covered. I have faith in Samsung this time around.

Bloatware wouldn't cause this powerful processor to lag. The software just isn't optimized enough for it.

Actually this will always under perform compared to exynos. Asynchronous will always act as as individual processors. The gpu is the best thing about the exynos. The s3 snapdragon is quite on par with other features. Flash acceleration , Also they are able to be undervolted far more than the exynos processor. This includes both processors saving battery life greatly. For better gpu performance you can also increase the gpu frequency. Touchwiz lags because it was optimized for mali-400 not for adreno 220. If you run any other rom I am pretty sure the lag will be no more.

When you say another rom, do you mean with touchwiz or without.

Not to disagree (especially with a senior member but there are so many horses ass crapware services running and system tools for monitoring and spying for tethering and such, if all of these uneeded and unecessary services could be killed I'm sure that would help alot. I cant seem to stop the following services (digital clock, tetheringmanager, wifi sharing, etc). I'm constantly going in and killing as many services as I can and it helps some. WTH is "device management"? Don't recall seeing that on other android phones?
I can't wait for an aosp or cleaned up ROM where all these silly T-Mobile apps are gone! Tmobile mall, more for me, seriously? I'm loving this phone, at times I blink and I'm like wow, that was hella fast. The occasional lag isnt too big of a deal for me. Will be nice once a rooted kernal comes out and we can bump it up a few mhz.

Nothing in Samsung's history should lead you to believe this.
FWIW, a lot of lag was eliminated from SGSI by converting to ext4. This is already ext4, though, I believe.

If can be for touchwiz or without. Its all about fixes and optimization. Before i had this phone i had a mytouch 4g its runs sense 3.0 better than a stock sensation does. Not only is my gpu weaker but also im running on a single core. Personally i don't see the reason to run touchwiz when ice cream for cyanogenmod and miui will be out faster than touchwiz with ice cream.

Sounds about right, because its smooth in other areas.. but in TouchWiz homescreen it stutters (even after a reboot).. Once that issue is fixed, it'll make the purchase easier for me.. but i'm also waiting for the Nexus Prime announcement in the next 3.5 hours.. But yea, hopefully the next OTA update optimizes TW4 over the S3.

The next update should be gingerbread 2.3.7 to enable nfc capabilities and fix some of the bugs. After that we will have a long wait for a brand new android update. Well unless your on xda

the next upgrade i think we'll jump directly to ICS 4.0 according to last night announcement

Do you think we'll get an upgrade to ICS 4.0 before custom roms make it to our device?

[Q] GTA III - running really slowly

I've just installed the amaaazing GTA III ten-year anniversary edition on my Wildfire S. Everything loads, and I managed to find a decent HVGA version of the game data files.
Anyway, it's quite slow running at 600mhz on an unrooted stock rom. Anyway to speed it up a little? Is it because of RAM or CPU or what?
S-ON btw.

Dont think it will run it. All approved devices are dual core with pretty good graphics

Hmm, but I seem to be running it perfectly in terms of graphics. Sound, video everything works and is playable.
It just lags a lot when trying to move around. Like playing in slow motion.
Most likely would work on alquez's kernal.

Well, look at the bright side. You can predict enemy moves and shoot 'em easily.

I wouldn't know unless I installed it. Could just be processing power.

Hahaha, yeah would need some more processing power I guess.

Link to the game and files? Would like to try on CM7. 2 @ 800mhz
Edit: found the game.

No chance of running this on wildfire s guys, this game needs a lot of power.
Tried on my cm7.2.1 overclocked to 806mhz runs like crap, don't waste your time with the 500mb+ data download you'll just be disappointed.
Oh and your phone will heat up like the core of the sun.

The game is on the market, and a few other places but yes doesn't run well at all.

what's the size of apk you installed....

http://www.mediafire.com/?xk8bdqrrrd7yk76
Try this one, this is the ripped version of data pack from Andropalace.com

You can't use the files that the game downloads itself. Find the seperately ported HVGA files.
It does run nicely, it's just slow people.

on my WFS long time ago (1 week) when i was S-ON it run smoothly, people never lag... now, i have rooted WFS with CM7.2 @ 806MHz and it have 2FPS... hate beta CM7..

As much as i have used it....it runs fine on the stock rom without sound,but it lagged like hell on CM7(YES!!WITHOUT SOUND FILES!!)

Looks like the hardware acceleration doesn't work in CM7.

It sure look like it

I hope that alquez add hardware acceleration in next stable release

I had installed it, and on CM7.2 with 806MHz it still runs very slow. There's probably no chance of it running well on this phone, and to be honest, the controls for it will suck anyway. I have my old PS2. I might buy the original again.

I also tryed this, but it's very slow, i just waste my time. :S

GTA 3 Lag on S3?

i've been playing a few games on my Rogers S3. Most games play perfectly like riptide, but for some reason GTA 3 is really laggy. Is anyone else having the same problem and is there a fix for this? I thought S3s shouldnt have problems with games. BTW, im on the CM10 nightly rom.
I've tried all different settings, but there is still some lag regardless.

It's fine on my s3. I was getting tons of lag with that auto haptic feature turned on though

im using CM10 rom, and i dont think i have that feature, so it shouldnt be the problem

I'm running stock with the ktooz (I think that's hoe you spell it..) kernel OC'd to 1.65 Ghz; no lag whatsoever with pretty much any setting. There's the occasional stutter here and there but I'm assuming it's less lag than on your device. What's your setup? (Anything that you might think could be the cause)

maybe because your on cm.
or maybe gta isnt optimized for the s4 chip yet? maybe

Nah, can't be. I'm running GTA fine with the S4 chip. Must be CM..

My friends CM S3 seems to get half the scores of my stock in any benchmark we compare in. I assumed it was the beta nature of CM 10. I wold think that high end games would suffer from the drop in overall performance too.

Yep, CM still has some ground to cover with regards to video performance. Qualcomm is still releasing driver support.

Solution
Hey Guys! I found a solution for you and myself if you are experiencing this problem with stock firmware! GTA 3 was also stuttery and laggy from time to time on my S3. What I did was I turned Power Saving feature to OFF and now it works like a charm! Smooth butter gameplay with no frameskips at all. Try it and report if it works for you guys! Good luck! :victory:

Horn Adventure Game on S3 Possible?

So that new game Horn finally came out on android, and surprise it isn't on the galaxy s3. It might be one of those tegra exclusives but I'm not sure. It's supposed to have outstanding graphics and I want to see how my S3 takes it. Does anyone know a build.prop I can change the device name to so I can try out this game on the s3?

So i bought horn downloaded and installed it on my wind mobile sgh-t999v device and its not working it installs fine (after i freed up 2 gigs of space) but when i go to run it, it flashes a black screen and goes back to launcher, so right now you have nothing to really worry about i dont know what the problem could be im running freegs3 r6 with the stock wind kernel and radio ive tried gpu rendering enabled and disabled to no avail. decided ill just wait for a patch or see if any specific roms are running it, i havent upgraded to JB yet because i dont want any bugs and im pretty happy with the way this rom runs so far. anyways this is just a heads up

S3 forum... smh.

Chainfire doesn't work

The type of the NVIDIA business is one big **** for the games industry. Dead Trigger is an great example; once all GPUs were capable of running the game at the highest level with a simple modification of script, but they sold the game as possible only via Tegra 3. And now, apparently this history is repeat, but little bit more aggressive. The game only runs with Tegra 3, and superior devices.

New antutu bench marks!

Hey guys so on the new antutu bench marks what are the devices that are getting like 25000? And they are not even overclocked? I have my note 2 overclocked to 1.9 ghz and my best so far is 20092

what kernel goes up to 1.9 ghz?

i am running jedi x4 rom with bulletkernal : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982322

it does but if you compare it to the other scores the tops are like around 25000 and at 1.5 ghz but doesnt say what devices

It's the Chinese only Xiaomi Mi2. Google it.

it's the Xiaomi Mi2. I would have gotten one of those if I hadn't fallen in love with the huge screen on the note 2.
Mi2 has S4 pro chip & 2GB RAM- it definitely is more powerful than the note 2. note2's awesome screen still makes it a more enjoyable experience IMO though.

everything else sucks? the only thing on it that sucks is no expandable storage (and screen size, but that's 100% personal preference). lack of SD card is the only thing that sucks about the Mi2- otherwise it's an amazing phone.

MIUI is great- better than touchwiz for sure. better than iOS too. I'd very happily use MIUI on my note 2 if they could work multi-screen support into it. battery is replaceable and they sell a 3100mAh version for it. camera I have not tried so I can't say.

It isnt better than touchwiz on this phone...I dont think miui has spen support, multiview or anything like that

shouldn't be hard to bake those features into MIUI at all. and there's nothing besides that that makes touchwiz better IMO.
