I flashed CM10 to my S3 a couple days ago, and I haven't been able to load certain games since then.
Sometimes I can get them to load if I mess around with the recent apps and locking/unlocking the screen, but sometimes they just won't work. For example, I installed PewPew the other day, and whenever I try to launch it, the music plays, but I just get a black screen. If I feel around on the screen the haptic feedback shows that I'm interacting with the game, it's just not showing me any image.
Another example is Minecraft: Pocket Edition. If I launch it, once again I can interact but it won't show me any images, but in this case if I lock and unlock my phone I can get it to start working as normal.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I could fix this?

I guess first thing is first.
Did you full wipe when you flashed cm10?
How did you get the games? From market or restoring from a backup?
Are you under volted?
There are a lot of reasons for apps to cause issues, breast thong is to clear app data and try it again. If that doesn't work than a fresh ROM flash might be in order.

My xperia play keeps crashing unexpectedly. It locks ups showing what I was looking at for about five seconds then reboots itself. It usually happens when I'm touching the screen whether its typing or scrolling the screen it does seem to matter. I've tried using factory restore but with no other apps than the stock ones it still will crash. The phone crashes about six times a day average. What could be causing this?

Are you overclocking?

No, my bootloader is locked and I am also not rooted.
We're currently rolling out a new software 4.0.2.A.0.62 which will improve the memory management to avoid reboots. Check with PC Companion if you can get it. It not, wait for it. I believe this is what you need. A lot of users have already got it and we're rolling it out for more kits every day. I'm however not able to tell when certain markets or kits will get it.

I've experienced this issue before, but I've LGNPST'd a few times since for various reasons, not because of this, and it seems to clear it up each time. Youtube is fine, I have yet to have an issue with that, but when I'm running an internet browser and choose to play a video where it does not request me to pick a player, the clip will play for a few seconds, then the screen goes black but is backlit. Now if I touch the screen, the clip is view-able again for a few seconds and then will go back to the black backlit screen. Clip isn't pausing, just the image is cutting.
Currently I'm running stock JB (not a ROM), rooted and unlocked running TWRP 2.4.4 with CM 10.1 on my storage. It seems that I notice this only after rooting\unlocking or after a ROM gets installed even if I flash back to stock.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone offer suggestions? If I can provide more info, let me know.

I experienced this too.
I just decided not to use chrome and use the default browser, it work's perfectly fine there.
I'll give that a shot. Hadn't really considered it might just be a chrome issue...

I had the same problem until I read some where here to check disable hw overlays under developer options. It works just doesn't stick after reboot.

So I installed Game Killer recently onto my rooted Nexus 7 and I decided I would try to give myself a bottomless clip on MC4. Now, despite the fact the app was working just fine before the root, it immediately minimizes when I start up now. I click the app and a black screen opens for a couple of milliseconds before the game minimizes back down. I can still see it in the running apps menu but if I try to open it from there it just does the same thing again and again. I've already tried the basic solutions like reinstalling and rebooting my device but that's pretty much all my options.
I know that it's not a crash, seeing as the app is still running. It just doesn't maximize correctly and I can't actually view the game. With that, I've exhausted all my options because I'm not getting any feedback about the error and I can't look at a crash report because it hasn't crashed. I can't find anyone else with this problem either.
Hello XDA,
I have reviewed everything that is out there on the internet and have not been able to resolve my issue.
I have LG G3 Rogers version, unlocked, never rooted. It used to work fine before. I started noticing my Youtube videos from the app stopped playing giving an error message (Error code is different every time) Youtube videos from the browser play but without sound, Instagram videos/live streams/stories (anything that has sound; IG videos with no sound when posted by the user works fine) stopped playing, spotify wouldn't play music but the timer of the track would keep going. This is with headphones, without headphones. Doesn't matter. Then when I restart my phone, the issue is completely fixed, for some time until it starts again. The way I know it will mess up is my pattern unlock sound goes out first. Then my lock sound and eventually certain key taps are not recognized. But again, when I restart the phone, everything is fine. I use Action Launcher 3, I've tried without it. I have factory reset my phone and I am running Marshmallow.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.
Thank you.

If you have been using it for more than three years in a row, The android version wears out... (gets old)...
you might have to check for system updates or (in rare cases (or) you cannot tolerate kinda case) you can flash another rom on your LG G3.
Android ROMs give you a better battery life (which also eventually wears out after three years of usage) and better performance...
Hello,
I got a new battery about 6 months ago so not so worried about that part. Is there any to troubleshoot and deduce what could be causing this issue?
Hello,
Quick update: I have not had any issues with the phone for about 2-3 days now. I had pattern unlock set on my device with rain dew drops as the dots. Since I've removed the dew drops, this issues has stopped. Currently I have knock code set on as screen lock. I will now try pattern unlock again, but with basic dots only to see if this occurs again. Keep you posted.
Wondering if this is just me...
Since the beginning of this season, I haven't been able to watch games on MLB At-Bat. They will start and run for just a minute, then it always goes to a black screen with a general message of "We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later.". There's a button to a link about blackout restrictions. My location service is working fine and I am not trying to access games that would be blacked out (there's a specific message you get for those, and the game never starts playing). I have tried everything including a FULL wipe and ROM reinstall. I'm using a rooted rom (RR Nougat) but my phone which also has RR/Root does not have this issue. Other video apps (including NHL that does a location check) do not have this issue. I am pretty convinced now it is an app bug specific to this tablet.
Anyone else to confirm or deny?
Not one person? I'm considering trying to go back to a MM ROM, but I'm still pretty convinced it's the app maker's problem, as other apps still play video fine. I guess taking a nandroid and trying it wouldn't be too difficult.
Well turns out going back to MM did resolve it. I installed this one. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/marshmallow-rom-t3620522
Maybe it's the fact that this one is TouchWiz, not sure... but I can finally watch baseball games again. I really didn't want to buy a new tablet right now just for this.
