[Q] Laggy game - Game Dev Story (H811) - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the LG G4 H811 (T-Mobile). Does anyone on here play Game Dev Story and notice that about 3-5 seconds into the game it starts to lag, about 1/2 the speed? I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this issue before I wiped my phone. I noticed other games by this developer work just fine, and so far this is the only app that I have seen slow itself down.
I've tried clearing app cache, app data, reinstalling the app without success. If I switch out of the app and back into it, it will run normal again for about 5 seconds then slow back down.
Looking forward to custom ROMs for this. LG's software is slowing this phone down [again].

It might be because of bugged govenor, same with Tekken 6 on ppsspp, same story was on G3.
The only fix is change govenor to Conservative instead of interactive, but that require future root.

Game Dev Story has lagged on every phone I've ever owned.

Just for the hell of it, have you unchecked the battery saver gaming option?

Yeah, turned that off. It didn't make a difference to the game play. Also made sure that the settings in app were set to "Performance". Might have to ride it out until root is available for the H811 and some custom ROMs. Was hoping someone else could verify that it does the same thing. I confirmed that it runs slow on both the Lite (free) version and the Full version. Even at the start screen, you can notice the monkey swinging off the game name will start swinging slowly.

This doesn't help in any way, but I wanted to say that I have the same problem. Anyone found an actual solution?

I've got a few different games by Kairosoft and they all run terribly on the G4.

[Q] phone rebooting during games CM 7.0.3.1

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!!

Pocket Legends crashes

Hi all,
Anyone playing Pocket Legends on the SGS2? It randomly crashes on me, sometimes 3 times in 5 minutes, sometimes once an hour, just wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
I have background data and auto sync turned off when I play.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I originally started with everything on, I've been trying to disable apps one by one to see if it's affecting it but it always seems to randomly crash. I might try changing some in game settings and see how that goes.
Hey,
I've been having the same problem, thought it might just be me. Sometimes it works for ages without any problems. Other times it can crash within 5 minutes.
Stock galaxy s2, using launcher pro. Not rooted.......yet!
Is it getting hot? Using OC and 3D games sometimes I had random reboots so I made a profile to lower the CPU freq down to 800 MHz when temp getting over 42°C

No I don't really feel it getting hot, although I do have a TPU case so maybe I can't feel it.
I haven't had a crash since setting the battery savings slider to the right, but it also makes the game very choppy. Seems like a common issue with SGS2's so hopefully they fix it soon.
Hi there!
Expierenced the same yesterday.
Game runs pretty fine, but phone's getting pretty hot (near the cam lense). Usually this doesn't happen - well, not that hot
Didn't actually meassured temperature or anything 'til now...
2 Suggestions:
1. MALI (IIRC) Chip -> Chainfire3D worth a try?
2. Modem: Possibly Pocket Legends gets hick-ups, when data connection's getting lost (like 3G->H+ switch or something). Anyone tried playing through WLAN?
bye

I installed tonight for the first time. Been having a few similar problems. How did you do that profile by the way?
Same here, crashes after playing for like 5 minutes. When I check the battery temp, it's around 35°C so that shouldn't be the problem.
Send a dev tyrol the pocket legends team some logs and he dates org looks like the task manager is killing the game for some reason. He can't work out why.

Posted this issue on PocketLegends FB page and invited them to join the discussion here - well, this is about 2-3 weeks ago. Sadly they didn't join, as far as I see...
Anyone found a solution for that yet?
Same problem here. The game freezes and phone gets hot.
Hello,
I played more than 1h without any lag/freeze/crash
Just disabled sound, music, high quality options and changed battery saver to 50%.
Here is my config for Pocket Legends:
imageshack.us/f/856/options2.jpg
imageshack.us/f/850/options1.jpg
Smartphone: SGS2
So please check it on your Samsung galaxy s2 and reply if this works.

Hello! I've been lurking for a while now, in hopes that someone would figure it out. The battery saving-settings worked for a while, but then I experienced freezing again.
After reading a thread in the official PL forums i tried this:
I downloaded the winamp music player app and made it my default player.
(i did this because the only logs they've recieved that contained a crash, were sound related "libsoundpool.so")
After doing that, I have played two runs through all Forest Haven levels without the game freezing!
One run without sound, and one run with sound.
Both runs with high quality, and all that. No battery saving settings.
Maybe it'll start freezing again in a while. But give it a try if you want.
(newbie, so I can't post outside links, but the thread I'm referring to is in "Technical Issues and Bugs" section, titled "sound effects occur despite being turned off", and the answer came from Otukura)
Edit: Nope, froze again. Once in Forest Haven, and about 4 times when fighting keeper...
Guys who are using Lite'ning 1.5 ROM, can you try to:
Clear memory in (stock) Task Manager
Launch (stock) Music app and leave it open in background
Play Pocket Legends
Maybe it's just coincidence, but i was able to play PL for about 3 hours without a single freeze. On stock and Villain ROMs it just kept crashing every few minutes. Will keep testing..
*Most settings in game left at default values (high quality, FX/music - on).
EDIT: So, i've played another ~3 hours and no problems so far. Tried to run game without starting Music player and game froze in 10-15 mins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2: ~11 hours of gaming wihout crash. Tried few other ROMs, but PL just kept crashing. Now i'm on Lite'ning 1,5 again and game works.

You don't need Pocket Legends anymore now that Order & Chaos is out.

Thank you very much! Now you can sell your car and get a horse.
Anything new on that front?
Nothing new so far...I hope they will solve this problem soon...the only thing I wonder is that it only crashes when I do quests...Of crouse I didnt do everything in the game yet...but whenever I do a quest it mostly crashes...and when I just hang out nothing happens...I hope they will fix this...

Lite'ning 1,5 ROM + music app runing in the background does the job, no single freeze. Confirmed by two other guys.

[Q] Frame rate issues and stuttering

I've been having issues with the GN2's performance while scrolling menus and playing games. Jetpack Joyride is the most noticeable, with it stuttering all throughout. This even happens with simple games like Scramble with Friends, making it more unresponsive than it should be. Plugging the phone into the wall seems to lessen the stuttering. It also appears that the longer the app is used it slightly lessens the stuttering.
Strangely, frame rates seem better while playing 3D intensive apps like Death Dome.
My Galaxy S2 did not have any of these problems throughout its entire life span, ever. It did everything buttery smooth, which is strange considering this phone is supposed to be more powerful. The stuttering isn't terrible, but it's definitely there, and I'm not exactly happy with it.
This occurs no matter how many idle programs are closed or what Launcher that is used. I've used TouchWiz, Launcher Pro, and Go Launcher.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that can be fixed or should I return the phone for another?

Wow, hahaaa! Thanks a lot! That's silly to think that works. I felt like it was some sort of power related issue and was sooner going to overclock the CPU than suspect that option.
It didn't work immediately after disabling it, but once I restarted the phone everything was fine. THANKS AGAIN!!

My SGN seems to have significant problems with 3D graphics performance in games...

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?

Lagging while playing garena free fire

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
