Hi, I have just upgraded my 12.2 last night to 5.1.1 , since updating i have noticed 2 things with 2 games i play:
Clash Of Clans - Quality of the screen looks a little less in the game than it was plus when i start the game i get like a white streak at the very bottom of my screen and then the game starts afterwards.
Boom Beach - The quality of the graphics in this game looks much worse than it did before, i have checked that the quality was still set to high which it was, things just dont look sharp like they did before.
Is there something they have done in 5.1.1 to make the tablet cope with games better by reducing the quality or something?
Any advice?
Regards
James
I would thinks it's the other way around... That it's the games going into some sort of comparability mode if it's not updated to work with 5.1.1 on a screen with those specs (Rez and size) and/or not updated to run on 5.1.1 and our Exynos chips.. I'm speculating here, but I've never heard of the device maker doing the dance around , it usually the devs having to play catchup with updates to ensure their software plays well on the hardware. Good luck and check patches and updates for your games!
Having the same problem here with display after updating in 5.1.1, in almost every app and in browsing. Everything seems to be displayed in low quality aftr the upgrade. I own a tab pro 12.2 german version..

The SAME EXACT thing happened to me on Boom Beach and Clash of Clans, more so on Boom Beach. It just started happening about 1 week ago, the "new Jellybean update" was within the last 2 weeks for me and now the games don't work very well. I get a flash of white distorted and enlarged graphic icons that flash across the bottom (like the poorest resolution possible) then it starts up and looks terrible. I've uninstalled both games and reinstalled them because I thought that I did something wrong and messed it up. I'm actually debating on uninstalling and not playing the games now because it's terrible. Silver lining, at least someone else in the world is having the same problem and it's not my tablet about to croak. I was worried I burned out my tablet.

Anyone try Angry Birds on the S3?
Feels so laggy. Is this a problem with AMOLED or what? Needs an update? It feels/looks like you're playing a game on an LCD HDTV without game mode turned on. Bad input lag and the birds slightly, but noticeably to me, stutter across the display like the response time is very low.
Also don't like how it works with the S3 screen res. The only way to play AB to me is to zoom out all the way so you can see what you're aiming at, and so it doesn't pan the view as you fire, throwing off your shot. This makes things tiny on the S3 with such a large horizontal view.
Sucks cause Angry Birds is about the only game I play on my phone when I'm bored and without my tablet. It runs much better on my Thunderbolt too.
Feels and looks fine to me. I don't notice any lag at all, gameplay is smooth.
Ok never mind lol. Was exploring the phone last night and had turned on power saver which limits cpu frequency. Would explain why my phone has been feeling laggy in all day.

So... Im getting back my recently purchased Galaxy Note 2014 White Wifi 32GB for another one. Thanks god the shop gave 15 days in order to see if something went wrong.
Here is the point: Once the battery reach some percent between 20-30%, suddenly, just in a second, it drops till 10%, and seconds later, to 5%. No root, no apps opened, no strange software installed, Samsung Motion options used (except some S-pen functions) or Devs options touched, i checked out all this things after it happened the first time. I only used it to search on Firefox, write/read PDFs with ezPDF, see some movies or see how Real Racing 3 or Dead Trigger would see on the screen.
No idea about whats going on.
In adition, im worried about this tablet´s heating. Sometimes gets alarming and it feels pretty uncomfortable, as you feel something could break bad inside if so much heating is hitting the hardware, and men, im just using 3 simple apps at a time. I get Real Racing 3 use GPU really hard but... it feels moron as this game hasnt been update so it can use high graphic settings on this tablet.

You ha e a defect. Mine never gets alarming hot. It gets warm when playing big games, but so do all tablets. You can feel something break inside? Send it back.
Hi!
I would like to kindly ask if anyone can give me some input on how this Huawei Ascen P6 is behaving in everyday use? I have an option to get it as my work phone and would really like to know if this is a stable phone, or does start to behave poorly as previous Huawei Honor started to, after some use.
I have an option to get Nokia 925, Glaxy S4 Mini, Xperia SP and Huawei P6.
Thanks for your opinions.
Best regards,
D

I have been using the ascend p6 for the past 2 3 months. I am using the stock emotion ui with very heavy modifications using xposed framework and also a custom launcher.
So far I am very impressed with its performance. Emotion ui is a very well made rom with really smooth and nice animations (i love eye candy ). I haven't noticed any lag on my phone yet. Battery life is not exceptional but not disappointing as well. I can go through the day with normal usage without having to recharge (My normal usage includes frequent phone calls, not much internet browsing but a lot of music playing). You can play all normal games quite well though games with extremely heavy graphic requirements might lag (I never play such games on a mobile). Sound quality is also pretty good and it comes with dolby digital enhancements. Using iphone earphones on the p6 gives amazing sound quality.
So far the only problem I have noticed is a slight heating up on the top part of the phone which i have heard may be resolved with the kitkat update.
When compared to the others, I would choose the huawei hands down. It has better specs, emui is an amazing rom and finally it is one damn beautiful phone.. exceptionally beautiful!!!
It's very good, and the B125 update is very smooth.
Takes a day or two to settle down, then, very easy use, a pleasure to hold, screen very silky.
Only thing is you have to play with your battery life a little... Every night charge!

Had the phone since August last year, with various stock roms and a few beta's, currently on B122, not upgrading again till the official KK one comes out. I liked it initially, but things are starting to annoy me now.
The back panel is very easily scratched/scuffed for one, not from dropping but just sitting on a desk, in empty pocket etc. I never have a cover on my phones but do stick on a screen protector mind you. Also the silver edging at the top is marked, again from being in an empty pocket, and just general use.
The little pin thats in the audio jack is a pain, had to hunt about for it countless times after wanting to plug my headphones in, now lost.
The audio sound is very very low, sometimes not even audible if surrounding noise is high. I have some beats in ear headphones that work perfectly with everything else, but not this.
the camera is garbage, takes too long to snap and the focus is terrible, on all varying settings. Been the same on every rom ive tested. At the moment with 2 young kids its pretty much joint top of my list of most important features.
Apart from the above the hardware seems to be fairly decent, I like the size and the feel of the phone, but just seems to be a bit lacking now.
Battery is ok, but feel its a constant fight to keep it lasting longer than a day. I like the profile settings software, so have it all turned off at night, which helps make it last longer, but if I use wifi or have the screen on watching videos etc it plummets rapidly.
Software is ok, few things they dont do as well as some others, but few they do.
Wife recently bought the moto g and if it wasn't for the fact its only 16gb with no expandable storage i'd be getting that (I have a lot of music on a sd card ). For the money its head and shoulders above this.
All in all its been a fairly decent phone, but one i'll look to be replacing soon. Probably for the same price or cheaper than I got his sim free.
I'm sure all of the above could be fixed by rooting, doing this, doing that, but to be honest I dont have time or patience to do all that, and shouldnt really have to.
Anyway, that's my thoughts, few some people might find it useful, sure some will be offended. hey ho.
Everyday use:
Phone(Talk/SMS):10/8
Media:
Make(Video record):10/5(Laggy,cheap sound quality ,cheap video quality)
Make(Photo):10/7
Music(After europian volume boost trick)10/7
Wathch(Video)10/10 not problem me.(Im try many video version(mov,mkv,etc)
Game:10/4 Very poor:first problem many,many game run laggyas hell..And many not supported.
Net:10/8.
Batttery:10/7(Heavy use 1.5 day)
EtcLike huawei services)10/8
From the choices you have, p6 is the best as an all rounder. The xperia sp might beat p6 over GPU, while Nokia 925 got LTE.
But you need to mention your phone usage habits and make sure your important needs fall within it. Everyone got different usage habits so their experiences cannot guarantee everything.
Phone calls & sms: 10/10 have not encountered any problems
Video recording: 7/10 Video has very washed out colours and there used to be glitches when Stabilizer was enabled on JB roms, on KitKat this problem seems to have been fixed. Sometimes unconsistant fps range, especially on JB roms, seems fixed on KK.
Photos: 8/10 The sony imx134 sensor is okay, altough it gets rather grainy at even ~400iso, the quality of the lens is also low. Auto wb works perfectly, focusing takes abit more time than other flagship devices. Most of these problems have to do with software & driver optimization.
Music: 5/10 Audio quality is not the greatest, the audio jack also has some problems with some plugs.
Watching video: 10/10 Obviously it cant play 4K (interestingly enough, the 4K plays at the same tempo as on the snapdragon 600 phones), but 1080p and 720p run absolutely fine, havent had any problems
Gaming: 4/10 Not good, phone tends give off alot of heat and causes throttling
Internet surfing: 10/10 on JB, 6/10 on KK The problem with browsing in KK is not really device specific, the Chrome engine it uses instead of webkit just is slow and laggy on every phone. Dolphin Browser uses a modified webkit engine(like on JB) which runs well on KK and it also has support for flash which is not supported in KK by Chrome.
Battery: 7/10 The battery varies alot, I remember having the phone on 20% of battery in the end of the day, nowadays I end the day with 60%, could be the KK rom but I am not sure about it. Or could also be because the weather here has gone warmer
Emotion UI: 1/10 Horrible, it runs like crap even on their own devices compared to AOSP ui, huge lack of dark themes. Just an unpleasant eyekiller in the dark because everything is lightgrey and lightblue. You would also expect to have 60fps animations for simple thing like for example pulling down the notification center and scrolling through the settings menu, even phones with quite abit weaker hardware, but better optimization, manage to keep this at 60fps!
Basically most of the issues have to do with the optimization of the GPU
It runs stable, but for a work phone the S4 Mini will most likely work better.
The camera quality in the right lighting is better than a Sony Z1 !!! I compared the exact same photos taken by my P6 and my friends Z1. I could not beleve it !
If youll mainly use p6 for work, its the perfect fit. Fast and stable. I use mine for daily emails, web browsing etc.. Well what really sealed the deal is its beauty. Would choose p6 over any other phone for its design alone.

amen to that
Hi all, i am looking for an android tablet to watch TV shows, YouTube and read the odd ebook.
Is the LG Gpad 8.3 still worth getting? I have seen them sell for around £60 and i like the fact that there is official linage support.
How good is the screen and speakers on this tablet? Any thing i should be careful of when buying it second hand? Any common faults or issues?
If I am correct i have been using this tablet for almost full 3 years, almost every day, up to couple of hours. I bought it for 200$. It's "okay" now days. It isn't that fast anymore, it heats up a lot if you push it to hard. I have problem with watching 720p60 videos on Youtube, and 1080p60 videos just freeze and you can hear only sound. With stock ROM i had random slowdowns, games and content just start to lag, but it stops after some time or a reboot. So i recommend a custom ROM. Speakers are loud, but they are on the back of tablet and i hate it. Sound often gets blocked by my flip cover. Even as an outdated device you can play some intense games like N.O.V.A. 3 with unnoticeable lag. 4500mAh Battery is "okay" when using the device, but on standby it can last maybe more than a month. I don't if it's me but sometimes touchscreen seem to be odd. Maybe it's because of my intense usage. I have dropped it few times from maybe about 1 meter, but no scratches. Maybe my case helped. Also, screen is great, but i see some like, bright little spots(about 3 of them), but they are not that bad. I don't guarantee it's for every device. For 60£ if it's great or near perfect condition it's an awesome deal. Another tablet that is great is Nvidia Shield Tablet, you can check it out.
I didn't see a thread dedicated to gaming on the V30, so I figured I'd create one for us to discuss our recommendations, thoughts etc.
Please feel free to add to the thread.
On a start, I noticed on really dark games, such as Karma incarnation 1, it looks pretty stunning. The blacks are so dark you can't distinguish the screen from the edge of the phone. And the colors of the game look amazing. It's a very dark and odd game though.

Anyone using Pokemon Go, South Park Phone Destroyer or Super Mario Run??.... any throttling after a few minutes or hiccups?
I'm mostly curious about playing and charging at the same time and how warm things get and if the procs slow down to a point it's noticeable in game. My current phone gets real bad with Pokemon Go after about 5 min... it's like a slide show after throttling starts, but it's smooth before the temp increases.
thanks for any info.
I've played super Mario run for periods longer than 5 minutes and it doesn't stutter or lag. The phone doesn't even really get warm. I haven't charged and played yet though as I still believe in the old "battery conditioning". ?

No doubt, even I dislike charging and playing, but when you get into a group and hit raids in Pokemon Go for 8 hours charging with a battery pack on the go is a must, lol. Happy to hear at least for Mario Run you've not seen any issues. Thank you.
Here are my two cents. The games I run are Hyperburner, Hitman: Sniper, Lonewolf, PacMan CE, Star Wars Pinball, with Hungry Shark and Flip Diving for the kids. On those the phone runs like nothing is happening at all, no warming and no lag whatsoever. I also run 5 emulators: NostalgiaNES, SuperRetro 16, MD.EMU, Mugen64Plus and MAME4DROID and apart for MAME not recognizing SF3 3rd Strike's CHD image all games runs ok. The only game I have to run on basically low quality is Star Wars: KOTOR (my favorite game), for some reason it will stutter and almost drop to 5fps if I run it with high-quality graphics, shadows on, grass on and frame buffer efftecs on. I was surprised since this is an old game ported from the main PC code, my guess it is resolution limited but nonetheless, I have to run it low quality. Other than that, no issues on those previously mentioned games.

Interesting about KOTOR... I assume you've tried reducing the resolution in settings on the V30... any changes?

You're correct, I changed the resolution to both normal and low and the game won't run, it gets stuck on the splash screen. Go back to high resolution and runs as it's supposed to do. Same with framerate. Clearing data didn't help too. I frankly am surprised by this.

Anyone gaming on v30+? It's weird and against all the good reports about gaming on regular v30, but IT'S SLOW! FPS must be around 10-15 fps playing mobile legends, titanfall, actually all games. I can see on some points it improves but only for a couple of seconds.
I've tried playing with the game settings. None improve the frame rate..
I played lineage 2 it ran like crap at max settings . but on my iphone 8 plus not problem. Other games ive tried is kuboom wasnt so great not smooth. Gunz of boom ran ok . over all not impressed maybe lg software might be throttling the cpu/gpu so the phone doesnt get hot. My lg v30+ stayed cool playing 3+ hours straight. Now i dont game on my v30+ all my games are on my iphone.
