I know this is strange but how do i keep apps running. Here the example, playing Game of War or Deer Hunter 2016, now i want to switch to and send an email. The game now has to restart? Any ideas? I know were usally trying to stop apps from running. And also i know if i had root i could ad it to multiwindow, but um i dont have root..

There are plenty of threads complaining about crappy multitasking abilities of samsung phones. Unfortunately nothing you can do.

OOM is set to high so everything gets killed easy.
Careful what you ask for!
Turns out it was the Game itself they release an update for GOW and now it stays running which kills the battery so i stop it anyway

thank you, do you have any advise on overclocking?
If you are on 2.2 there is no overclock solution at this time.

i think the adfree thing completely screwed up my phone with a million force closes, so much that i couldent do anything no matter what i did, i had to completely reflash it with the rom again. the addfree thing was the FIRST thing i installed agian, and i get a forceclose message again. this time it is SNS (process com.sec.android.app.sns) and it keeps displaying it repeatedly
Yep, I to had a lot of fc's with adfree

I used ad free and still get ads in angry birds and the xda app. Did I do somethign wrong? I downloaded the list and think I have it running...
The ads in angry birds are brand new, assuming you mean the big pop up ones that everyone is up in arms about. Just like a antivirus program ad free just has to be continually updated with ads to block.
I wouldn't count on it blocking the angry birds ads though, or mattering if it did. I'm betting the pop up comes either way.
I never had any FC issues with Ad Free. It worked great on Viperrom Apocalypse and Frozen, but I all the ads now that I'm Bonsai v2.0.1. A little annoying, but it's what keeps those apps free, so I can only complain so much.
yeah adfree completely screwed my phone up, i get so many forcecloses i cant even do anything, like my addressbook doesnt work, and even if ai touch the screen like 4 of them pop up. its crazy, its almost like a virus....

Anyone having problems w/ installing angry birds? I have version 1.4.2 running fine, installed from market last Nov. But now Market hides this from me, and blocks it from appbrain. I really want to install 1.5.1 for the 30 new levels. The new updated market.android.com shows my phone (Captivate from ATT) does NOT support Angry birds.
Might this have to do with UnleashTheBeast? I've played Angry birds like crazy, and never seen an advertisement, thought UTB did that for me.
I upgraded AngryBirds Seasons the day after the Superbowl, and teh valentine levels worked fine.
Anyone seeing this??
im having lag problems and sometimes force close on my xplay,

There are a couple things. Weird widgets and system tools will do it. Task Killers will certainly do it. Things like JuiceDefender or agressive or overdone profiles set in setCPU or tools like it will do this.
Other things that will do it is really large SMS/Messaging databases. If you have lot of text and picture messages, back them up to another format and clear them out. Same thing for the call log.
If you have managed to root yourself, there are few services that can be safely removed that will improve the responsiveness of your phone also.
Those are my suggestions off the top of my head, beside the generic: Wipe it and only set up what is ABSOLUTELY necessary.
I have to say this is the first gameloft game that I really like. The graphics run on high and so far it runs smooth.
Great looking game, but it does stutter/lag often on my Shield (especially when all the cars are on screen) I noticed that rebooting the device before playing helps. Does anyone else have this issue? I am sure that Tegra 4 can run this game easily, so maybe Gameloft needs to properly optimize it

My guess by the sounds of it is that you are unaware that android multitasks and have not ever bothered closing apps in the background.... That would explain why rebooting helps first as that would close background apps which would otherwise cause lag.
I actually blame android poorly labelling the "recent apps" button, it actually shows "running" apps, if you open recent apps and swipe an app to the left or right to remove it from the list it closes it (and a few more like steam, dropbox and facebook also run 24/7 but need closing from task manager). There are also android task killing apps and widgets which close all running apps with the exception of system ones and those you specify in a whitelist with 1 press.

Oh trust me, I'm a Android veteran, and know all about killing running task! I do kill all running processes before playing, but I still see some lag. It only seems to run best when the entire Shield is rebooted. I am pretty sure that this is an optimization issue with the game, as I dont have to reboot at all with all the other tegra 4 enhanced games that I have on my Shield.
I just wanted to see if i was the only person having this issue..thanks for replying
Drifting
Is it possible to partially drift with the Nvidia Shield like how you would with your phone? Each time I drift, it doesn't allow you to make a small drift, only large drifts.

What do you mean large drifts?
If you want to stop drifting just hit the "X" button again.

Thanks, but if you played this with your standard phone, you use the gyroscope which allows you to either drift/ turn a little or a lot, when I say large drifts I am not referring to the length, sorry for the confusion. So is there anyway to control the turn while drifting?

Oh okay, well I haven't tried it on a phone so I don't know what level of control the gyroscope gives you, but slightly moving the left joystick on the shield gives you control while you're drifting.
I haven't mastered it yet so I still have trouble with it doing what I want it to, but it definitely alters your drift direction.

Use a live wallpaper that Uses the Unity engine, it seems to wake up the CPU/GPU after it goes to sleep which causes both to run at only 60% of the specs.
Nvidia said they were going to look into it, in the Nvidia Shield forums, but there is no ETA on when.
I use the "Andromeda Free Live Wallpaper" would love to put a link to the store but just created the account today so I'm restricted for the time being so search on the Google Play store.

I just saw this tip in the nvidia forums also. Thanks...works like a charm! Very little to no lag now.
I've had a lot of fun with this game as well.
But has anyone noticed any random crashing to homescreen? My first crash was when my battery was getting fairly low, so I was afraid that had something to do with it. But then even after recharging some I got more random crashes. I re-enabled wifi and haven't had a crash since...
That kind of makes me curious what is going on... but I haven't looked into it further yet, so don't mean to raise any alarms.
Throughout all this though it has not corrupted my save data or anything, at least as of yet *knock on wood*. I think it was Asphault 7 that one time I got a phone call in the middle of gameplay and it crashed the game and corrupted my save data >_> I had some backups though, but lost some progress.
~Troop
That's weird. I haven't seen any crashes yet but I haven't played it for extended periods of time yet either.
Really Glad that one good Racing game has the controller support.
Enjoyed playing the game a lot
All games that use onscreen controls should be updated to support joysticks/controlpads either shield/moga/ps3 etc. You know how much better it is to physical controls? Freakin' amazing.

Agree! it all ends up with the developer/publisher for the support.
like if i want to make it like a system app so it wont goo when i clear ram thanks
Don't clear ram. It's unnecessary. Android is meant to run with little free ram. Clearing it often will only hurt your battery life from apps having to reload when you start them, and create lag. ?
I always clear my recent apps, especially after playing games, doesn't make my phone lag.
But it is very annoying when you're playing a game, come out to look at other stuff then have to reload the game. Biggest flaw in Android in my book.
I'd be interested to know if there's anything to force an app to stay in memory running.

Same here. I like to play escape games, like Doors and Rooms, and often times I need to pop out and use a calculator. (because I'm too lazy to multiply four numbers in my head...) It would be nice to use the calculator on the phone without risking losing all of my progress...
On the other hand, my math skills have definitely improved as a result of having to use the built-in memo function in the game as a scratch pad.
Is there a way to leave your game open even after you go to a different app or shut off the screen? I'd like to leave it running so I don't have to keep loading it back up every time. Game I play Is, game of war and clash of clans
Sorry but the apps will close themselves after a certain time of inactivity.

Yeah but leaving app and going back in ,in like 5 sec, shouldn't happen . That what's happening in most of my games also

Try this app, it requires root though.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.repetitouch.free&hl=en
Android will only kill apps when it needs the memory for something else, so you either have too many apps that are forcing themselves open (meaning the game as a background app, and a large ram hog gets killed first), or the game has been built in such a way that it kills itself when its not a focused app (certain games are built like this, the Simpsons Tapped Out is one example).
Here is what I use to keep my Clash of Clans active while my phone screen is off.

You can set the "resident" flag to keep the application resident in memory and make it survive to android memory kill.
