I am thinking of going with the TB. Anyone know for sure if it will play a game like pocket legends better than the dinc? Almost went with iPhone just because of how smooth that game is on there but in the end just couldn't do it.
Thanks!

Since it plays on my Nexus S just as good if not better then my Ipod Touch. I would bet that it Plays great on this phone too.
Games?? Android has games?
the ram is way over kill I doubt it will have any problem running anything anytime soon... I just want to play gun bros on a bigger screen than my incredible...
is your incredible rooted? cause I have never had any problem with lag on anything I ever run
I actually heard a guy talking on youtube unboxing this phone saying it benchmarks better 3d than the tegra 2. I hope nvidia is fail because motorola is trying to stay afloat with it.
Hi, i sold my Atrix 4g a few days ago not because it was bad but because i wanted a bigger screen, but now im undecided between the 3 phones i mention on the title. I'v been reading a lot about the specs and i see that are pretty much the same but it's always better to ask the ppl that already own the device for an advice, so which one is really the best? or ill get the same speeds from any of them?
I love my Razr but as far as the rest of the phones depends on several things. Speed are you talking about the phone operation? Speed could depend on your area if you have 4G or signal. Are you going to root?
When i talk about speed im refering to phone speed such like games, interface, browsing, etc, also id like a phone with a good signal reception for internet.
As far as root yes, ill root and use most likely custom roms as i usually do on my phones
perviously i used photon its a good phone and now im using Razr. photon its very tuff made feels good in hand very good for playing games and wacthing movies but its screen its very blurry type pic look very bad on phone screen, some time videos look little tilt but when i install beta ics that all screen issue is gone.Razr look good in hand dnt feel tuff made screen is very nice for watching HD videos but cant play HD Games by gamloft its compitible for razr but i think it will very soon availble.

Compatibility issues with games due to them not adding that code into their games.
If you fake your phone's ID to another phone model, the games run just fine. The GPU is definitely strong enough to handle them.
You're asking about 3 different phones all on 3 different networks. Do you live in a 4G area? I have the Razr Maxx and love it. The battery lasts for forever. The screen is great. Verizon coverage is awesome. V's 4G LTE is blazing fast for me. And right now you can get 2x the data. And if you order tonight (2/29) you can get $100 off. A buddy of mine at work has the S2 SkyRocket and the battery doesn't last for crap if he is using the phone and for some reason he barely uses the phone and it chews thru the data. The Photon is on Sprint. I liked Sprint. But I like V better.

Well, the first thing i should do is ask myself, "what do i need from a smartphone?"
"What are the things i would do with either a RAZR, Photon, or S2 Skyrocket?"
"Am i a gamer? Am i a Music Lover? or simply an average user? Or i am after the looks and build of a phone?"
List them and compare with the 3 different phones you mentioned...
Then if that matches your needs, that is the time to decide if you will have it...
I am an owner of RAZR now, as i also was in a dilemma before betweem Nokia N9, RAZR, and SG Note.. Those were the things i did... And i never regret....

it's no grafics chip issue, cause RAZR is running the same chip like the google Nexus S (PowerVR SGX540). So there's a way to play the Gameloft HD Games:
root your RAZR
install a root browser (e.g. root browser lite)
go to /system
open build.prop
change ro.product.model to "Nexus S"
change ro.product.manufacturer to samsung
reboot
and so you can play gameloft hd games
i'm playing "Order & Chaos online" and "Backstab HD"
S2 skyrocket has extremely poor voice quality microphone so people at the other end have a hard time understanding you, which is never mentioned in reviews. Motorola RAZR and Motorola Defy are the two best modern phones for outgoing voice quality. This may or may not be important to you, but is the most important consideration in a phone for me.
According to Gizmodo in their HTC One X review, the phone had issues playing 3D games. They specifically mentioned Temple Run, and the phone not picking up certain inputs due to the CPU being overloaded or something. Sounds iffy to me, so I'm seeing if anyone is able to replicate this kind of thing with the LTEVO, thanks!

When playing Temple Run, I notice an occasional blip where it hesitates for just a moment. Enough to make you smash into a tree though if you're not careful. Doesn't happen often thought, and I can't find a pattern of when it happens.

Playing Stair Dismount on mine there is a lot of slowdown
Def not bc of lack of power I'm sure they just need to be optimized for the EVO..
If you think about it, there are only three Android phones with HD screens on the market right now. Most games are probably not yet optimized for that resolution as well. Even Apple doesn't have HD screens in their phones yet. Handset HD rendering is a rather novel feature.

I remember when I bought the OG Evo, it seemed to everyone like it was underperforming in the game department. People said it would be fixed with updates and it didn't work because of this or that, but eventually we just realized the hardware wasn't up to snuff. I don't want to make the same mistake with my next purchase, so how bad is it really? Are there any high-end games that run perfectly? How does shadowgun play?
I've played all those games on my 3d ..and they played great..so with a greatly improved CPU and a oc-d gpu its def not hardware ...the s4 is top notch..and ur not go.na have too choice since almost all high end phones coming to the US will utilize the s4

I agree but something is wrong I am having small issues with many games that ran fine on the 3d and OG. For instance just downloaded Nba Jam tonight and it studders and lags the whole time un playable. This game was running pretty good on my EVO last week.
So I agree it is not the hardware but something needs fixed. Sounds like the HD screen issue may be to blame

I will go check it out. I am not saying that it is the issue but someone mentioned it and it sounds possible that these may not be optimized for our screen yet I know when qhd was first hitting the market some apps had trouble with it. It has to be something though because there is no way this hardware cannot run apps that ran fine on my OG it just doesn't add up.
Any one get Demolition Inc working on this thing yet?
Shadowrun plays nice and smooth no issues with that game.

Possible Fix
I don't have the 4g LTE yet I am a current 3D owner. Am trying to decide between GNex and LTEvo but that's another topic...
From what I've read somewhere else (can't quote where from) the fix was to bump your minimum cpu speeds up a notch and will probably fix most/all your lag. Use Antutu or other choice program (rooted only of course) and bump your min clock speed up one or two spots and I bet you don't run into issues.
If this doesn't work then ignore...thanks!
Shadowrun plays really smooth, and I'm amazed with the graphics. Looks sweet!
I was hoping this phone would game better than my gnex but so far it's not doing what I had hoped for. GTA3 has awful audio quality and I have to turn the settings down to low and lower res and other settings to get it to play lag free. I don't think it's any better than my gnex was. I am hoping the game needs an update.
Well I'm disappointed that a lot of the best looking 3D games do not work.
Not Working:
All Gameloft games EXCEPT Order & Chaos (but it still crashes some)
Even the brand new N.O.V.A. 3 doesn't work
Mass Effect Infiltrator
Dead Space
Field Runners
Working:
GTA III
Shadowgun
Minecraft
Deer Hunter Reloaded
Galaxy on Fire 2
Gentlemen, the phone has not even officially been launched yet.
Once game devs figure it out the games will run fine on our hardware. It is fact that our phones are more powerful than the 3D or the Gnex so it just needs to be optimized. On top of that, imagine how our phones will fly on a nice aosp Rom...

Putting this under the many issues I am having with the switch to Android from iOS. When I check out GTA: Vice City and Real Racing 2 in Google Play, it says my device is incompatible.
Does anyone else get this message? Is there anyway around it?
No, some game devs for some reason havent made their games compatible. Most games are compatible but a small number aren't. The few that aren't compatible should get updates soon.

Neither does Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Real Combat 4, and many other games that I've looked up. Is this due to the quadcore? or what?

Pretty sure it has to do with the screens resolution.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I'm also pretty sure it's due to the 1080p screen. I've seen people with the Asus Transformer Infinity having the same problem. Probably Nexus 10 people too if we look at their forum.
I had the same problem today with a game that i wanted to pay with a friend. I think that the screen had something to do with it buy what really pissed me off is that he is a die hard iphone 5 fan and trolled me by saying "oh look 1080p screen and it cant even run a simple game"..... I was like man **** you lol

Yeah this is ridiculous. 2 months in, and the top games aren't compatible with one of the fastest android phones out now.
Modern Combat 4, NFS: MW, Vice City, Real Racing, and pretty much any EA or Gameloft game.
I'm extremely disappointed.
They need to update soon because this years phones are all going to be 1080p resolution do it shouldn't take long.

Lot of these developers including some big ones are lazy @$$es.
It was same when Note came out and even with many new phones.
Most of the games will work fine even with odd resolution if they are coded properly. Most of the games are. But lot of game devs put device ID checks in Play store. So basically they disable the install of games on new devices. Many times they take their own sweet time to enable the game install on specific device in the name of quality control / compatibility.
But if you have them installed on your older phone which is rooted and pull the APK and put it on the DNA or my Nexus 10, most games work just fine even with high resolution displays. Its just that devs fearing the -ve reviews or bad star ratings in play store stop you from installing the game. When that happens, I usually write to the devs. Many smaller devs actually listen and I found it very surprising that many write back enabling access soon in Play store. But these big game developers who ideally should take less time as they have bigger teams and staff at their disposal are the ones who take more time to do so.
Makes me angry. And I wish Google implements a mechanism where we can get our money back any time in the future by returning the license if our new phones get the incompatibility issues which go on for more than 15 days. There really needs to be something like this.
It does not happen to even new phones with new resolution displays. This thing happened when SGS3 launched, then again with Note 2 as well. Both these phones had traditional display resolution. Still devs disabled the install in play store for a while fearing -ve reviews.
Unless you develop games I don't think you have the right to make that statement...

I have every right to make that statement when I can run the game without problem by pulling apk from old phone on my device but it's install is blocked artificially.
This is not new phenomenon either. Has been happening a lot for year or two now. It's all because they are afraid of ratings.
If you go through the initial days of sgs3 and note as well as note 2 forums you will see discussions on this matter there.
Some game had genuine issues and rather than fix a minor issue some games and apps were blocked for weeks to months at time. But at least they had genuine issues. Many didn't. Some were blocked in the name of exclusivity. Thankfully they couldn't ignore popular Samsung devices for long. But I have seen some lesser known phones having issues for months with installs being blocked for no good reason. Had issues with oppo finder and xiaomi phones in past like this.
And it's usually smaller studios that tend to respond quickly to user complaints when it should ideally be other way around.
It should not take a big studio 3 months to unblock install or patch the game for a new device.
From my Note 2, right in your face....
1080p is the future. not the past. they will be compatible or the market will force them to.
Modern Combat 4 works if you download the apk and sdcard data seperate. If you've already bought the game, I wouldnt think it to be unethical. But I don't condone piracy. This is mot the case for the majority of games that are not available though.
Anyone get the EA Scrabble game to work?

Pls post all game related issues here. What for? Well I don't know about u guys Buh the game incompatibility issue is killing me...I really want to enjoy gaming on my DNA....we all know the gpu is good enough for most graphic intensive games out there, and even tough that screen is demanding, this phone should have no problem handling games. I have been forwarding reports to game devs via email....and I know they will work on it if we pressure them...so post the game, the issue u having and developer...I will forward it to them.....I am one hell of a gamer and I can't watch my DNA sit there like that,when it has one of the mist powerful CPUs and GPUs out there.
Apart from complaining, you can share your gaming experience on this monster....and help other folks with issues...

Ok here are a few:
