Games run really slowly? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I have noticed that some games run really slowly on this phone. If I turn the sound off it help (in the options menu on the phone not the phones volume). This doesn't fix ever game though. Game dev story still runs slow when I turned the volume off. Game dev story runs perfectly fine on my old s4.
How can I fix this? It would be nice if I could keep the volume on also. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, which model do you have? I have no problems with running games on this phone, maybe its a problem with the game itself? If not you can try a factory reset or reflashing the stock rom.

I'm using the H812. It might be the game, but I have noticed it slowing down when there is lots of sound in other games though. Also I'm rooted if that changes anything.

Noticed some apps also run slower with my H812 (Piktures and HERE Maps are 2 examples) compared to my S5. By slower I mean laggier (very noticeable lag).
Galaxy S5 is still smoother to use. Sad..

So is it mostly our models, or are there others? Also I deleted a lot of the bloatware from it (not all though)

Quake 3 for SGS released

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742081
so happy

Thanks, i was playing normal kwaak3 without on screen controller using volume buttons to go straight and back that sucked ;D
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i finally got it installed properly in my phone, the speed is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
it puts any computer to shame
1.It works a tad better on eclair than froyo.
2.When running kwaak close other apps for best performance.
3.Best setting - wide screen res, 16bit depth, everything else to max.
~60 fps.
It doesn't put any computer to shame
from present time that is
still..
i was comparing it to the CPU of the time when the game was released
Ahh... sorr to bump an old thread guys.. figure its better then starting a new one.
Ive been running kwaak3arena 0.2 for several weeks now without issue, but the other day it seemed to stop working properly. main issues are that the brightness of the textures seems to have increased, the controlls have been muddled up, and the application crashes sometimes in some levels. This all came on unexpectedly after running flawlessly for ~2 months!. The only thing i can think of is that after i used the application with it working perfectly, i had downloaded the XE.com app, and after that it starts screwing up. Im also noticing, though not sure if its just me, that other areas of the phone are running very slightly more laggier / choppier then they were before.. i think.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kwaak3arena, as well as getting rid of the xe.com application, but still no fix.
Phone is basically standard running voodoo lagfix.
Anyone else having similar issues?
I also noticed that the developer has released a new version which he's charging for
edit: Also, for symptoms, ive noticed ive been renamed "unnamedplayer," from GalaxyS

[Q]bad S3 or just rom?

I've had this S3 for over a year now and I've been trying almost all new roms and tried overclocking but none seems to help the lag. I know it's there because my S2 is smoother in everything other than internet browser speed. I can play same game in full detail smoothly on S2 but I have lags even with low detail in S3. Any normal use seems to be okay but here are the annoying issues and I'm hoping someone has advice. Below are the list of issues that occur in every ROM I've tried.
- BT constantly drops connection and sometimes reboots phone. (I've tried turning off PBAP. This does not help. I've also tried raising min Mhz)
- Some games lag a lot. Reinstall/download does not help. Sometimes turning off WiFi helps with lag. Receiving SMS alert during game causes massive lag
I've been trying to install 4.3 knoxless version but gets stuck in Samsung screen so I gave that up. I might try CM11 next although I didn't have good luck with CM builds (seems to worsen the issue).
Any advise before I put this on CL?

If you're getting the same issues on various roms then it is definitely a problem with the phone.

Nexus 7 2013 Becoming Slow.

Hey,
I got my N7, 16GB WiFi, 1½ month(s) ago, and it was amazing. I was playing games, like Modern Combat 4, at a super smooth frame rate, I was browsing the web at amazings FPS's, just the general UI was so fluid.
The day I got it, I unlocked, flashed a recovery and rooted. I play the game I mentioned above, MC4, a lot and am quite good at it. I though that it would be a good idea to record what I was doing and show the world! (www.youtube.com/user/StealthGamingAndroid if you want to see)
The game was smooth before, just playing, and was still smooth after. What impressed me was that even while recording, it felt like I still had amazing frames.
About a week or so ago, that stopped. I was getting lag, the game was jittery and making the whole thing unplayable, even when not recording. But it wasn't just the game. The whole UI felt, even though it wasn't terrible, sluggish.
I didn't/haven't changed my setup, regarding ROM, Kernel or Processor Speeds since the day I got it. It is running the version of 4.3 it came with out of the box. (My choosing to keep it on that and not update)
The only things I have done regarding root have been using SCR Pro, the recording software, and using Xposed and Gravitybox.
I do not know what is causing this sudden lag, and how I can fix it. A brief search on Google didn't turn up anything that I could relate to. So I present to you my question.
How do I fix this lag?
I do not mind if it means using root, flashing a new ROM or even a new kernel. (Never flashed a different kernel on all 4 of my devices) Over clocking I also haven't done, but if it means removing the lag, I will consider it.
I am extremely grateful for what ever solutions or suggestions you give me, and will happily look into them.
Thank you for your time reading this, and for helping a confused user out.
Faithfully,
-R
Boot into recovery, clear you caches, boot normally, see if that fixed it, if not...boot into safe mode and see if the problem persists, if that fixed it, it's one or more of your apps, you'll have to either flash to stock and reinstall one at a time, when it starts lagging again you've found the app, or remove one at a time and see when it stops, if the problem still occurs in safe mode, backup and flash back to stock and see if it persist, if it does, maybe it's hardware.

That has fixed some of it, but it still feels choppy. (The wiping of the caches, I mean)

I use an app called Clean Maste. You can get it in the Play Store. It's basically like CC Cleaner on the computer (if you don't have it, get it!). Just clear all the stuff in the junk option EXCEPT obsolete APKs. If you know what you're doing, cleaning in Junk Advanced can help too.
Also, be sure to delete all the apps you don't need, and clear your multitasking often.
For a big performance boost. you can overclock your tablet. First, tell us if the other things work above. If not, PM me and I'll be glad to teach you to overclock

Did you try uninstalling Xposed?
When my tablet lags a little, I usually turn it completely off for a couple minutes. This helps me quite a bit.
This may sound dumb or crazy but you got to remember that it's a computer and turning it off once or twice a week will clear the cobwebs.

[Q] [Help] Tab 3 7" SM-t211 KitKat 4.4.2 Unsolvable Lag on Rhythm Game

Hello guys,
Excuse me but let me get straight to the point: I really need a solution. I upgraded my Tab 3 from JB 4.1.2 to KitKat 4.4.2 yesterday, and one and the sole problem for me is now I'm always experiencing lag in a certain rhythm game. I'm not sure about overall device performance as I don't pay much heed and for me no extreme differences apparent for me to notice. Even if it's slower on KitKat 4.4.2, I wouldn't really mind it. But the problem is, the only thing I care is the one experiencing problem from the OS upgrade.
The game is called School Idol Festival. You can see the example of the gameplay in youtube. (can't post any link since this is a new account)
The problem is now the game lag heavily causing the notes to move shakily, especially when there are more notes appearing on screen at the same time. It's like when you move your cursor when the pc is lag heavily, the cursor would look like it's shaking a lot while on the move. It's disturbing my timing on playing the game. Previously on JB 4.1.2, the notes rarely move so shakily like that even in far more intense songs. I have tried to turn off many stock apps. My internal storage is still 8 GBs free. I already tried to close all other applications before launching the game. I never limit my CPU performance. I already tried turning off power saving. Already tried to tick force GPU rendering in Dev option. Already tried to play after I cooled down my Tab 3. But none helps.
Is there any solution for me, preferably without the need of rooting and without any good risk of breaking my device?
Thanks.

Performance drops after updated to Android 8

Hi,
I've been here for a while now but this is my first post ever.
I'm having a really weird issue: when i first bought the phone, it works flawlessly and there was nothing to complain about. However after updated to Android 8, the phone's performance drops noticeably. Applications like Facebook or Instagram always freeze after a few minutes surfing (the lag will last for a few seconds and come back to normal, and after a while it's lag again).
Even in a low-end game like The Walking Dead Season 1, sometimes the FPS drops dramatically. Never happened in Android 7 before.
I tried reset the phone, clear cache and data and stuff like that but it just doesn't work.
Switching to Lineage OS is a good option, the performance there is really fast. But the gamepad and the camera don't work stably to i switched back.
Can someone help me?
The phone is not rooted or anything like that btw.
Thanks.
Perfectly fine here, try factory-resetting your smartphone.
No problem here.
Try full format your phone using recovery.
I'm starting to see big issues with response lag (especially when typing). Anyone have a solution for this issue? I have Oreo factory on my Z2.
Thanks,
smithmal
