You see I play these tiny games, Swing Copters, 1 and 2. These are games where you continuously need to touch the screen to keep the gameplay alive. Now I know almost no one else play these games, and other than these two games I myself don't play any games either :laugh:
Now the thing is, I have been playing these games for like three years now. Started from Moto X, then moved to Note 3, Note 4 and now Pixel. Now I never had any touch screen related issues previously on those phones, but now on the Pixel I do have touch screen issues, as if one or two touches are missed/ignored if you continuously touch the screen, making the game impossible to play. Now I am unsure whether this is because of these games' incompatibility with Nougat, or simply a hardware issue on the Pixel!
So I am asking here, for those of you who play a lot of games, and those games mainly where you need to continuously touch the screen to keep the game alive (Angry Bird or Subway surfer won't cut it!), do you guys notice any such problems?

I just downloaded swing copters to give it a shot. I didn't notice any immediately apparent issues with the touch screen. I do play clash of clans and feel like occasionally a touch isn't registered, but it's like 1 time out of 5000 which makes me think I simply missed what I was trying to push rather than it being an issue with the screen.
Ha ha you just confirmed my doubt mate. It was already mentioned in google's support page, someone else also was having same problem, don't remember which game anyway. Its also not 1/5000 for me, but something like 1/500 or something, which is completely unacceptable anyway. I have been playing this game for over two years, and spread over three different phones and none had this problem, obviously, cause none had any hardware issue like this.
Thanks for your input.
I've had issued. There's a touch calibration app that really helped. But i recently rma'd and hoping that isn't issue on new device.

Best of luck mate. I have had the same on three XLs now. Two of them manufactured in the month of October, one January. Have no interest to test again, I am certain this has affected all the XLs, but whatever.
Created a topic on Google's support page too, if more users are here then please keep this topic alive. I don't have the phone any more, won't, so don't care personally but other users might get help from this.

Hey all
i would like to install some games on my pro II, but since im currently holding my pro II for the first day and i lack any knowledge on how to get this done i was wondering if some1 could give me a short walktrough. I have read so far that morphgear seems to offer the best emulators.
And then for the future, any1 thinks with the touchflo function some DS game might eventualy work on the pro II? like for example zelda for the DS?
thanks in advance
greetings

Theoretically it could be possible. The TP2 has enough processing power. Correction, alot more.
But the main problem is, is that the DS games are designed to be playable with 2 screens. The touchscreen itself for your minimap, menu's, radar etc. The upper screen (non-touch) as actionscreen. Would be a huge problem to fuse that. Almost impossible.
ah true, didnt think of that yet
so what would you suggest, which games would be the best on the pro II
I highly doubt this will ever be possible... I rather play games on devices dedicated to gaming.

Now why would that pose a problem? If they can get it to work on a PC with a single NON-touchscreen...
Screen resolutions of the DS are 256x192. Two screens would fit on the Pro2's screen without problem. Just make only the bottom portion of the screen respond to touchscreen-input and you've got your solution more or less. I think processing power would be more of a problem really.

Didn't think about that.
True that the TP2 could emulate 2 screens on one. Thanks to the low resolution of the DS. So they could indeed fit in the screen of the TP2.
If you look at the 3D game Xtrakt. That originally is designed to show the power of the Xperia X1 (that works on the TP2 too). It uses more shaders and better texture filtering than the DS.
Klik here for the game Xtrakt.
(Might need a reboot after install)
As we all know that even the TP2 has a dedicated graphics-chip that can show better graphics (so I believe) than the DS. The other problem would indeed be the emulating of 2 screens in one. It's possible. But needs alot more power than the DS has.
possibilities seem endless
so any of you guys running some nice games on your pro II? im looking for something that can kill the time during train/bus rides.
Alsa
Well Xtrakt, like I mentioned above.
Pocket Uno is a fun timekiller.
That's it what I have on mine atm. Still looking. I just got the TP2 for 3 days. Bit busy with tweaking and modding.
I regularly play games like risk, poker, civilization, monopoly, arvale, baseball.
All work great on the TP2. You can also try SNES and GBA emulators.
Oh and don't forget hdWobble.... it's not really a game, but still fun.
alhung could you pm me the link you have deleted when u have edited?

Which civilization?
If you want a NES or Game boy color emulator... Smartgear works well.
I only have an Excalibur right now, but I'm pretty sure that it will work on the [email protected]
Unfortunately its not the exact civilization as we know if from the PC, but it's called: Sid Meiers Civilization IV - War of Two Cities
The gameplay is basically: 2 opposing cities sending out different types of units towards the other city (only moment of deployment is controllable, they move on their own) and firing a canon. It has some unit upgrading options and the era changes as you advance, but don't expect too much depth in the game. All in all a simple game but good enough for killing some spare time.

I have an iphone 4 now but i dont to play games on it due the small screen. Im looking a 2 scenarios. Keep my iphone and a actual handhelp system like the 3ds or psp vita. Then ive seen bestbuy has the play 4g for free with an upgrade. So im really wondering how are all of satisfied with the play as a gaming device and a phone? I really want the physical controls but does the obsolete hardware hinder it?
What is this obsolete hardware you speak of?
If you want actal high quality games buy a 3DS or PS Vita, If you want emulators get the Play. The real Xperia Play optimised games are nice but they are cheap and buggy iphone ports, so if you want high quality gaming get a hendheld.
People on here seem to try to deny it but yes the Play is somewhat sluggish as an android device when compared to such as the SGSII or the sensation xe and some newer games don't run great. Dead on arrival runs slowly, gta 3 has the graphics turned down and still suffers terrible frame rate drops regularly, and fifa 12 has terrible lag.
Having said that, I really wouldn't fancy trying to play those games on a touch screen, which is why I got the play!

Opinions are like buttholes - everyone has one.
Personally, I love my Play. I don't find it to be laggy at all, once I took the time to customize it. Never a big time gamer, I find I play a lot more games now that I have the Play than I ever did with the handhelds I have owned. It really comes down to what your expectations are. If you want a great phone that can do many things well including play some great games, get the Play. If you're going to want the hottest, latest game titles, then get a cheap phone that doesn't require a data plan, or stick with that I-don't-know-what-I-was-thinkin'-phone, and buy whichever game system you think will best serve your interests.
The Xperia play has never been that sluggish to me, and I'm a heavy app user too, It performs just like another android device, I also installed v6 supercharger, Xperia play is a good phone.
SERIOUSLY, Fifa 12 lags on your Xperia PLAY?
what have you been doing to your phone lately?
Yep, my Xperia PLAY has also been lag-free.
I have a GS2, Atrix and G2x available to test on at any given time, and Xperia PLAY runs games just as smoothly as they do despite being a single core. It's far from obsolete, and as someone who also came from 4th gen iDevices... I can safely say it's been MUCH better at everything.
jeah performence is one thing... but the other thing is the quality of the games...
compare Street fighter 3DS with Bruce Lee
compare Splinter cell Conviction with Splinter Cell 3D
compare Mario Kart 7 with "Shrek Kart" or what ever
And than look at Super Mario 3D Land and cry becouse you have a Xperia Play and not a 3DS....
Understand what i mean?
So now we are comparing a next gen deadicated portable gaming device to a cell phone.
Wake up man its a cell phone, compare to to other cell phones.

I have to agree with narflynn here. I have hard a few times that FIFA 12 lags terribly but I've played it multiple times and in fact use it to show off my phone and it never lags. In fact all EA games run silky smooth and perfect with NEVER a single problem. Gameloft games on the other hand are hit or miss.
I love emulators and have many on my phone. Nes, snes Genesis n64 neogeo cps1 cps2. This phone is awesome for emulators. If you love emus this is the phone. Rooting and unlocking is really easy. Trust me this phone may not boast top of the line specs, but I don't care. I love this phone.
My favorite games to play are:
Modern Combat 3
Shadowgun
Dead Space
BackStab
Grand Theft Auto 3
Sonic CD
Dungeon Defenders
These are just a few. I have way too many games on my phone to count them and thats not even touching the amount of emulator games.
If you get this phone I would recommend rooting it and removing all the bloatware, then using script manager run the V6 Supercharger (best thing I have done for this phone) and I only overclocked my phone to 1.2ghz just to give it a little bump. And flashing a SDcard cache size limit from 125hb to 4mb really made the phones accessing the SDcard much smoother (but this should be done on all android phones as Androids SD cache size is set at 128k) But this phone plays all those games just fine. I have not had any issues with Grand Theft Auto 3 or Fifa 12. Once I rooted and did those thing this phone just flies. Again... I love this phone. I have a PSP and have not touched it once since getting this phone, its got like 3 inches of dust on it.
Playing Onlive (with a good internet connection) is sweet with the Play's built in controller

Yeah it is a cell phone. But it is not onle a cell phone it is THE psp phone that everybody dreamed of... It should be compareable to handehelds, not to other phones.
The Hardware of the Xperia Play is graet for gaming but the software sucks in that point. Dont understand me wrong, i love android. But for gaming the Xperia Play should have a gaming mode that opens in fullscreen and cancels all and i mean all backround progresses and runs games from that. It could look like the psp menu. Than it needs much better programmed games, wich are not so cheap and buggy and not made for touchscreen and just get ported. If sony is able to make this things true, the Xperia Play would be a real psp phone and could be much better than a hendheld.
I know i sound kind of angry with my Xperia Play and that is true, right now i hate it a little, and not only becouse its broken. If it stays i am really going to get a 3DS. And maybe sell my play...

No, it shouldn't.
Its a Phone, there is a ton of basic functionality that is required to be running all the time.
I don't want to miss calls and texts and calendar alerts because I'm busy smashing up Dr Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog. I like that it plays games, but i NEED it to be a phone, as does most everyone else. I also like that I can do those things, and then hop right back into the game I was playing.
Aside from the fact that while the savvy public like us would understand how that mode works, the rest of the public would freak out that playing games blocks the ability for calls and texts to get through.
Where do you get psp phone from? Its a android cell phone with a playstation certified gamepad.
Thats it.
Thats all it ever was and all it ever will be. You hype it up so much just to disappoint yourself.
The xperia play is one of the best android based cell phone on the market. Who ever told you this was a psp should be shot in the face

Just buy the 3ds. The 3d effect is very cool and the quality of games will never be matched by cheap android games.
Mario kart 7>any racing game available in the appstore, even real racing.
from tapatalk on xperia play.
Apple has some great games that i would like to play but with a 3.5" screen my fingers will cover half of it. Im just Not a fan of playing games on a small touchscreen. A gaming device with a physical controller and still has all the smarphone functionality. Thats what i want. If rooting and tweaking cures the few flaws of the play i can do that.
Can anyone confirm that Multitouch is fixed in 4.0.4? If so, can it be backported to 4.0.3?
Multitouch is fine here brah, on Android 4.0.2.
Bought from Rogers Canada, China batch. No Multitouch issues (Have registered 10 finger touches in multitouch app...would have tried more but couldn't fit them lol), No screen banding, nothing. Absolutely perfect.
Return your device and get it replaced OP?

Nope been playing Mario 64 and Golden eye for about 8 days now, constantly for hours on my charger, everything is fine.
I am running stock, 4.0.2. Able to Do the "yahoo" jump in Mario 64 for hours (hold stick, while running press "z", and press jump) thats 3 points of touch and I do this over and over instead of running because its faster. Its flawless.
So your experience is not everyone elses. Obviously.

You don't even know what the issue is. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH TOUCHING THE SCREEN AT MANY DIFFERENT POINTS. It has to do with the bottom right hand corner and the bottom left hand corner doing certain things in landscape. It doesn't happen in Mario 64 but it happens in paper Mario and in banjo kazooie. In paper Mario it happens when trying to run and jump in dry dry desert. In banjo kazooie it happens when jumping across some water. It happens in weird places but it does happen and your phone does have this bug.
Do some research. Everyone has it, your phone isn't special.

Nope tested both games, both play fine. Tested bottom right and bottom left corners in landscape running SNES, Genesis, and Gameboy advance roms as well.
No issue at all, I love having a perfect Galaxy Nexus. Hopefully a patch will come out and make yours behave like mine and properly.
I don't know how you guys could live with this issue. Is there anything you guys can do? I feel bad for anyone with this issue, glad I got my Galaxy Nexus from the unaffected batch. Love this phone
Even though there is a bug, you can easily get rid of the problem by just locking and unlocking the screen once the problem occurs, works fine for me when playing games such as Shadowgun!

Adreno, I don't think you know what the actual issue is or you are not being honest. Go download PewPew and play just one round of infinity mode.

It's a great free game that I had to give up. Just to let you know, there isn't a single batch that isn't affected.
By the way, when you do play the game, make sure you play it naturally. By naturally, I mean that you press the both thumb point continuously as you play the whole round.
Hey guys, on using Note 2 for quite a bit time, I have experienced that the touch responsiveness is somewhat lower on Note 2 as compared to other phones I used (Motorola RAZR XT910, iPhone 4, Lumia 520). This is not evident while using phone for general purposes, but playing games which require flicking movements (e.g Subway Surf, Temple Run, etc.) I have to slide the finger quite a long way to register it as a flick as compared to other phones I used. This is tiring to fingers, and also you do miss when game advances.
Have you guys experienced it or it is just me?
Is there a solution to it?
ROM's Tried: Stock 4.1.2+Root and DN3 v3 + 240dpi mod.
Thanks.
i didnt experience issue like you. my responses touch quite fast and have no problem when playing game.
Maybe your phone lag during playing and cause the slow response touch
I just got my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from Amazon and I'm already having issues with it
I play Simpsons Tapped Out and this game ran without any lag on my 2012 Nexus 7. However, when I load up the game on the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, I am having major lag while trying to pan around the town and even while trying to tap the buildings to collect money. I imagine Tapped Out is an incredibly casual and lightweight game(resource wise), so it makes me worried about how 'real' games will perform on the device.
My question is, if I root and debloat the tablet, will this improve performance on the tablet? Or is this the kind of performance that I can expect from the Exynos tablets?
I found this thread, and I was going to follow those instructions to debloat it with titanium backup(I assume I can use that to debloat it). Has anyone tried this and noticed an increase in performance?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help
As a follow up. I just went through and rooted the tablet, froze all that bloat and it's still performing like garbage in Simpsons Tapped Out. How is this possible that the Exynos chip isn't as good as a 2 year old tablet? Is it the QHD display? Is it TouchWiz that's causing it?
Out of all the reviews I looked at, none talked about this type of lag. This Simpsons game can't be that graphic intensive. Why is it stuttering so badly when I pan around the town?

May just be that that game is confused by the Exynos 8 core cpu. The device clearly has the power to run a simple game like that. In short, I think it may be the game and not the tablet.
One other idea. Try running Nova Launcher. But other users have had the same issue as you with that particular game.

That is really sad to hear. I can't get Family Guy working properly on the tablet and now this Besides watching content when I'm in bed, this is all I use the tablet for. It's making it really hard to format my 2012 Nexus 7 so I can give it to my father.
I'm curious if it's the CPU or the GPU that the game is having an issue with. I have had my eye on this forum lately and am getting excited that the CyanogenMod ROM might be the solution to my issue with these casual games. Positive thoughts :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your input. I will say that it handles my 1080p content from my Drobo with BS Player flawlessly. So at least there's something

I've loaded up a few games under my current cm ROM and they have all played flawlessly. Though I haven't tried the games you mentioned, and I'm married a month away from having a baby so I'm a bit too broke to buy something I'm not going to play.
Tonight there should be a ROM with sound working if you want to give it a go.

Both Simpsons Tapped Out and Family Guy Quest for Stuff are free to play games.
I have been keeping an eye on your CyanogenMod thread. I have never used it for more than a day on my Nexus 5 before, but I'm excited to try it out on my Tab S 8.4
Clash of clans works great! Try it. It's crazy addicting
I installed Simpsons on my S 8.4, it seems to be running smooth for me. But I only started the game and my city is pretty basic at the moment, maybe performance issues start with a larger city ?

I wouldn't say I have a huge city, I'm only level 17. Nothing like my level 40 city in Family Guy. But I have a dozen or so characters unlocked in Simpsons. I can log out of my account and play as a guest I think to test on a starter city.
well, it wont' connect to the server now :/ but I will test it when I can
There have been reports of issues with this game on the other galaxy tablet forums as well. Since this tablet is fully capable of running even more complex games I would focus on the software as the issue. I'm not sure if these issues have been relayed to the developer but that would a great start to a resolution.

Back to the initial topic: Debloating can eliminate some of the background services that consume processing power. But it would surprise me if this would result in any relevant speedup (on an Octacore).
Other than that, probably the color adaption+enhancement thing does cost some performance (and battery).
And Mali T628 drivers might not be optimized.

Just to let you know it's not your tab. Tapped out doesn't work properly with exynos. It's the same note 10.1 2014 ed and tab so. It's a software issue

thanks for all the help everyone :good:
Just FYI... The Simpsons Tapped Out also performed horribly on my Nexus 10. I think it is the app. It was never optimized for some reason

It plays perfectly fine on my 2012 Nexus 7. There has been a swarm of lag complaints about it on blogs dedicated to the game. So maybe it's on their end
We now have some excellent rom's in development which should improve your experience.
I just tried the Simpson and couldn't try to replicate the lag problem. Mind runs very smooth.

thanks for testing
i loaded a new game and it ran ok until I got about 3 or 4 people on the screen. i see different lag spots. one happens when it first loads people's animations. so even if i scroll away, when i come back it seems to load those animations again. another lag spot i see is when i try to tap on a building to activate the money or finish the person's task. when the money bounces out of the building, i see lag spikes here. they don't go completely away after i collect the money, but shortly after
the family guy from the amazon store plays fine and doesn't have this lag. i also read on some dedicated simpsons tapped out blogs that EA is aware of a lag issue. however, im not entirely sure if i am getting the same lag they are confirming. we will see though.

Out of morbid curiosity, have you tried my cm port?
