Games lag after opening them from background

Every time i open a game and play it there's nothing wrong and the game works smoothly. But if I press home to exit the app and then open it again to continue the game there is very.noticeable fps lag in the game. I always have to force close and re-open the game to fix it. I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Tested it with all of the angry birds games.

Could anyone bother to test this?

When I play a game and go out, then back in 20 seconds later the game will lag for maybe 1-2 seconds before returning to normal speed. It seems like in your case the game is not moving back to a forground process priority but is becoming stuck in the background.
Try using a real ROM and not a kang. Go download Liquidsmooth or Paradigm.
Try using a kernel that isnt just features ripped from other people too.

[Q] Reckless Racing 2 stutters, help?

Hi,
One of the first games I bought for my HOX is Reckless Racing 2, problem is: it stutters slightly. It's not that much, but enough to make it frustrating to play. Anyone have any idea how to fix this ? It seems to me the HOX should be able to easily run this game.
This is the only game where I have this problem.
My HTC is at stock rom, and I'm using Nova launcher

Hello, i play this game too and have no stuttering at all. Everything is nice and fluid ...
but don't know what can cause that except another task using CPU for example.
Make sur you don't have any application in background syncing or uploading something ...

To my knowledge there is nothing running in the background. But even then, this device has a Quad core, unless something pretty heavy is running, it should be able to handle that, no ?
What tool can I use to check if something is running in the background that uses cpu ?

Go to settings> Apps> Downloaded> Reckless> Clear Data and Force Stop. (If you dont want to delete your gamedata then just clear cache and force stop). Now reboot and launch the app.
OR
Redownload app, reboot, and launch the app. Then report back
And do hit thanks

lol this runs @ locked 60fps
since its running in low detailes mod, blurry textures, no shader effects no nothing
clumsy port

I cleared the cache and rebooted and it is indeed better. Not perfect, but better & playable.
Do you have an explanation as well ?

I just downloaded the game, its runs perfectly without any lag !

[Q] In App Stutter

It's not lag its stutter , thats how I would like to put it .
Apps like Play News Stand , Play Store and Even Firefox browser , they all seem to stutter when Scrolling through the app .
To an extent , I could say I have a unstable internet connection but its still fast at least 3 mbps . But I dont understand why should these apps stutter when images are loading or text is clearing out ( Firefox does that ) , I mean when ever it loads it could load quietly like fade in .. why halt for split seconds while scrolling . This is definately not a Lag issue for this tablet but it seems that there is a compatibility issue cuz my S4 does not really stutter as much with the same apps .
Anyone have a clue as to what could it be , any way to load the images gently without affecting scrolling ..
Also a similar thing is seen in the launcher , when connecting to WiFi , when it pops up a toast saying its connected to XYZ Wifi network ... The launcher scroll stutters for a split second ..
Any clues or fixes ?
Appart from this, the tab is smooth in non network based apps .. like sketchbook pro etc

In my experience, this sort of stutter isn't related to any tab or phone be it android or otherwise. It simply happens because with apps like Play Store and News Stand, all of the information is not pulled at once. As in, the entire set of information is not loaded, and it is loaded when you scroll down, adding to the "stutter". It has happened to me in every app that does not fully preload on any OS. As far as browser is concerned, I don't use Firefox on Android but UCBrowser and BoatBrowser have the fastest scrolling, and zooming speed I have found. For me, BoatBrowser seems to reduce this preload stutter the most.

Pre-Load !

[Q] Game compatibility.

Has anyone tried the more demanding games? If so how do they compare to other devices?
I'm tempted as I really want to play Xcom on the move(If it's compatible) But I don't want to lose the games I currently play a lot of.

I play X-Com on the 8.4 S and it runs flawlessly. Also played Shadowrun: Returns with no issues.

Name off some games and I will try out the ones I can. I can tell you that GTA San Andreas runs perfect for me.

All my games are flawless as well

Thanks everyone, they are pretty much top of my wanted list. And some of the 2D stuff, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't handle kairosoft games (amongst others)
My current device can't play Xcom or any of the GTAs, so I'll be upgrading tomorrow.

xcom crashes

I installed xcom last night. Runs really well but crashes at certain places such as when you first add an extra generator (but only if you build two things at once) after the first one save then build what ever else it is you want. Also crashes when you first promote someone if you click promote to fast. Just have to find the bugs and avoid them

Majority have been fine but I've run into some slightly weird issues with afew simple/free to play games - Seems like some of them are misdetecting the graphics chipset or something to do with the screen. I know the family guy game wouldnt run initally (null frame error - i think its been fixed now) and the simpsons game seemed to be using the wrong display mode/dpi when i tried it - all the textures seemed blockier than they should be.

I have the WiFi only 8.4 S and I'm having a really hard time trying to play. Sometimes it runs for 30 mins, other times it crashes to home screen immediately upon loading my save file.
I have stock TouchWiz kitkat and I've not rooted yet. Are you rooted, and if so what kernel/rom do you use? I suspect the bloat is messing w my processing power.
Thanks in advance.

I also have issues with XCOM, crashes sometimes at the intro cut-scenes and when i can get into the game i get about 2 minutes play at a time. Logged a call with the developer several days ago and they have been terrible. Tab S 10.5

At the time I was not rooted and I was using Nova Launcher. I say in past tense as I returned my Tab S 8.4 for the Nvidia Shield Tablet.
Thanks in advance.

I never had it crash or cut out. I do use Clean Master to launch my games with to make sure I get as many resources as possible for the game I am playing. That and Nova Launcher to remove the UI resource hogs.
Overall the Tab S is a great device and I had no issues with it. Unfortunately the Nvidia Shield Tablet was launched within my return policy and I swapped over.

Playing Pokemon Go! App Always Closed When Minimized

Hello, I have tried freezing Pokemon Go! in the memory but every time I minimize the game to reply a message, or open instagram or facebook, when I open back the game, it loads from the start, as if it was closed. For those who don't know about the game, this app loads for more than 20 seconds so this issue is driving me crazy. I have this game installed in two of my other phones; LG G4 and Oukitel K10000 and only the Mi Max has this issue.
Things I have tried:
1. Freezing the app in the task manager.
2. Removed battery optimization for Pokemon Go! app
I haven't tried it in MIUI 7 because the phone upgraded when I started using it to MIUI 8.
I am using the 16GB and 2GB version of the Mi Max. Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
