Hey, I'm new here so sorry if I have posted in the wrong place!
I've been experiencing lag when playing most games on my One X+, even Tegra optimised ones. Shadowgun THD is very choppy and so is Deadzone, GTA 3 is choppy, Dead Trigger isn't great but is fairly smooth and what confuses me is that Riptide GP plays well and Mass Effect Infiltrator is good too. I'm using this phone in the UK on O2. I'm wondering whether I have a faulty device or a software issue? Normal day to day use has been lag free. I've seen some users saying that their One X+'s are playing games very smoothly so any feedback/advice from other users would be greatly appreciated
Hey there man! Welcome to xda! This is a queer problem you are facing, check the ram usage. Perhaps there are several background processes running, bogging the system down. The hardware is perfect, no problem there! If the problem persists after a reboot, try downloading chain fire 3D for better gpu management. Hope i helped!

With power saver mode enabled the battery on mine will easily last a whole day, when playing games the battery is significantly drained though. So yeah, the battery isn't great.
guys this problem has been discusse many times now. take a look here:

I don't have my device yet, so cannot confirm, but if i understood all of that the right way the gaming issues are due to cpu-management e.g. governer.
You could also root your device and use setcpu or something similar to set your governer to other states and retry these games.
try to put live wallpaper on ur screen dos it lag??

I just tried Live Wallpapers and yeah, I can see a very slight stutter every now and then .
I installed the insertcoin rom and even with intensive 3d wallpapers, water, mybeach, season zen, etc it is all very smooth prolly above 50fps at all time mainly 60fps, however games like horn and avengers initiative lag for sime reason even though they are supposed to be oiptimized for tegra! they don`t even lag on the nexus 7, wth is going on!
Solution
Guys, if you are experiencing this problem, take a look at the thread nchantmnt posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783260. I rooted my phone (no custom ROM, although I may try one when more become available), I then installed this app and it has fixed my problems . GTA 3 is now smooth and so is Shadowgun Deadzone! Thanks for all your help guys!
Ps: I hope that an official firmware update is released to address this issue! Although this app is a good fix, it would be good to just be able to play games nicely without having to root and run a booster app.
nice to get some feedback and i am glad that this workaround ... well... worked
guys really learn how to use the search functionality or at least google.
i really wonder how many of those threads are going to pop up.
i guess this issue will be adressed soon by htc if not our devs surely will as it simply is a software-issue

Hi guys, the game works fine for a couple of mins, until the phone starts heating and well , it starts lagginggggg. Multiplayer works fine, but single player is just killing me. Problems only occur when phone starts to warm up. Anyone facing this issue?
More info : Strafing and scrolling "view" seems to be lagging, as though frame-rate just dropped or something. I've reinstalled and uninstalled, downloaded data and still, the same outcome. Multiplayer is as smooth as
Please tell me this isnt just meeee
im alone?????
Ive only played the first mission. it does not lag or overheat like you mention,although i do notice the frames drop in some areas becoming slightly laggy.online gaming is great.i hate that the game crashes and restarts sometimes in online play
Have some apps running in the background?
I also experience UHT moment when i play gameloft games.. but theres no continuous lag, only stutters on some area..
You may also need to check that your governor wasn't on conservative..

Got no framerate issue here. Try looking for a newer version.

Hmm, im on the latest version. 1.0.1. What im getting is the BLURISH effect when scrolling views. Im pretty sure its a framerate drop. Ive got MC3 running alone, no background apps. Its literally killing me. Ive tried 5 different kernels, and Im sure im not overclocking or underclocking the cpu. Im using stock rom though. Would cyanogenmod help improve the gameplay? Any good roms that still preserve the samsung qwerty keyboard?
I have this issue too. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, Noble Black, 2.3.5, stock ROM, kernel XWKJ1 (also stock), NO ROOT
At some point (fire or many trees or something) the game is lowering the FPS. I didn't noticed that for example on Sensation XL (which has 1.5 singlecore and even higher screen resolution than my phone has) and i didn't saw a single lag.
I made a video about this problem and posted it on youtube here it is:
I suppose this problem is related to my stock ROM or even my stock kernel... something similar is happening with backstab but there it's not that annoying since it's not a FPS game

YES YES Im not alone. Thats the problem. I wonder if its due to the stock rom...
Got the game no issue here. im rooted on slimrom with siyah kernel, not overclocked but undervolted so it doesnt heat up so much. Fyi shadow gun is a really good game as well
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
No issues here.
Well,it even happens on my device,which is overclocked,both the CPU(1600MHz) and the GPU(400MHz).It seems to only happen when there is smoke on the screen.Doesn't happen in any other case.
Feel like flashing a new rom. Gonna get a usb jig first...
Btw, any roms to recommend?
@androidkid:slimrom running touchwiz?

Because it has another much weaker GPU, therefore it has much lower graphical quality settings. It's like playing on Low and the GSII on very high.

Well,even if it is so,it's unacceptable,as it's definitely a fault on Gameloft's part.The game is,once again like other Gameloft titles,more or less badly coded.It uses too much GPU.I can play ShadowGun with 16x MSAA(Using CF3D) for hours and the phone just gets warm,while I can't play MC3 for nearly as long and the device burns.Before anyone tries to say that it's because MC3 has so super awesome graphics,it's not the cause.Our GPU doesn't overheat,even when overclocked.Excessive heat is only generated by the CPU.So,try playing ShadowGun and MC3 with 500MHz or 800MHz CPU.ShadowGun still plays as awesome as before,while MC3 lags.
We should contact Gameloft me thinks...

Car drive
Try the map where your using a minigun and escaping with a truck/car (dont remember the map name)
the fps drops from stable 60 to under 20 impossible to, win the level through with hard
Hmm which governor are you using? i just know that lulzactive is kinda bad if it comes to gaming. try out some stock governors like ondemand, conservative or performance.

Now play GTA3.
Hi! I wanted to ask you guys if you experiment any lag when you play HD games like NOVA 3 or Real Racing. When I had the stock kernel i suffered it, but now with siyah Kernel 1.5b5 It seems to be more swift, but sometimes it still happens.
Also, does your galaxy gets very heated while gaming? Mine does, even on the screen side...
I would appreciate if you could answer me! So many thx!
PS: sorry about my English but I'm Spanish!

- Lag occasionally occures , not that much
- Games are being running smoothely with me HD games i mean .
- Heat is not that much , i use to play 8 hours daily , ofcoursse the tail temp increases , but not that much compared with playable time .
My advice is run the mobile in air condition room if you're using it for long time as the phone temp diffenetly impact the battery and performance if it exceeds the limit
Ok, thx for your answer!

Same for me, the phone gets not very hot (not as hot like Galaxy S2). NOVA 3 very smooth for me (same with Real Racing 2) i have lags playing Batman, but i think Gameloft could make it better.
I want to get this phone and have stock ICS/Sense on it!
However, I want to be able to play games smoothly, and I want this phone to be compatible with lots of games.
With 1GB of RAM and 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processor, that shouldn't be an issue... right?!?!
I want games. Like, Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Fun Run, Temple Run, Infectonator, Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, etc.
Can I do this? Or am I asking for too much!!
Thanks in advance, guys!!

Games for me run nice and smoothly - just keep in mind we have a very intense screen that will drain battery if too bright and on for too long.
Edit:
I have played nearly all of those games on NRG's Stock ICS ROM, and have experienced 0 lag while playing them.

Thanks for the input!
I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the One S.
Get the Nexus 4 don't even think about the Htc one s (I am assuming that you have a budget). It would cost you around 250 dollars for an amaze in extremely good condition with box on eBay, while you can get the Nexus 4 for 350 dollars (16gb) version from the play store which is in a league of its own and quite cheap with high development. Just think it would be more future proof for 100 more bucks (its unlocked as well). It's such a beautiful device too

Sorry for the hijack but I'd like to ask the gamers here one quick question if you prefer I can open a different thread but I'm running NRG rom and lately (after installing and playing Hill Climb Racing) my phone is acting out.
First started with lots of lag on the game (sometimes is impossible to play) and then I get the black screen that won't wake up (yes I do have the CPU @ 374 or whatever it is that it has to be at idle).
Any help???
Thanks,

Sounds like you are running out of ram, hence the lagging. Close some apps in the background and see if that helps. Secondly it can be the rom because when I was on cm my games were lagging (temple run was lagging bad) switched to sense 4.1 and it was back to being buttery smooth. Hope that helps
Thanks, I'll try closing apps (if I figure out how to do it )
well i was dispponted about my gameplay with this deveice
eaven with updated 1.16.xxx.xx ruu... still same problem and lags (battrey save off)
but now i want realy to cry ... wene i tryd putting live wallpeper on my screen (power save mode off and 200 ram free and nothing in backround)
and the wallpaper lag same as my games...
i realy start to warry maby its hadware problem and not software..... htc one x can run wallpapers smooth with power save mode on....
and i cant....
]=
tryd every other live wallpapers and they lag too.... scrolling in waebsites somthims lags ... thd games as dead trigger have shatters and lag's
(i most notice most of the time quadrnt get me score of 7400 and few times give me scores of 6200 and 6800 with power saveing mode off)
guys do u think its hadware or software problem plz i dont know what to do
I noticed homescreen lag with even the simplest of live wallpapers including the stock ones, gameloft games were also laggy as hell and nfs most wanted although smooth looked like i was driving in the matrix. As an experienced android user and someone subject to sense 3.0 (ugh!) i immediately rooted and installed renovate gaming boost which fixed all game lag, i then installed the insertcoin rom which fixed my live wallpaper issues, i am now very satisfied with my device.
sirusly? i will try it!
so im not the only one means that its only software problem...
btw do u get heat if u play?
my phone start the heavy lags after he got heat +- 15min
btw what about the battry life in this rom?
it's a software issue. It was well discussed in another thread. Problem is that the cpu and gpu clock are locked together. So when CPU does nothing, the clock goes down and the GPU scale accordingly. Quite stupid if you want my opinion, but it explain why my live wallpaper suck when it was ok on DHD. There's a "fix" running in the wild requiring root. Didn't try it yet.
Hey folks , I got some strange problems with my phone here.
So,what's my story about. My gaming performance just suddenly got bad. Before,I was on official 4.3 with everything stock and games ran flawlessly. Then I flashed AOSP ROM and everything still worked as it should (games didn't lag) and I was on AOSP for more than 4 months.
Now,I flashed back stock sammy-based ROM , and only after 4 days,I noticed that gaming performance is really bad.
Let's start from the fact that only god knows what I've done with my phone today to fix that, but I was unsucsessful. I changed ROMs,kernels,tweaked my phone,overclocked it,but nothing , games still lag like hell. Real Racing 3 has BIG fps drops,dead trigger 2 (low) has some lag spikes and some fps drops,too. Now I downloaded modern combat 4 and it was unplayable! I haven't flashed stock with odin,as my computer doesn't read my phone in download mode (again!),so I'm lazy to do it on other computer. But still thinking of that. Maybe at least very official ROM is the last hope.
So,can anyone help me? This is the first problem which I can't fix and that's bothering me,though I already got used to fact that now I may have to live without gaming,lol. Not a big problem,as for now. But really? What can be the cause? What's wrong with my phone? Why is UI smooth,why can't I see any lag when watching HD videos and etc, but games lag so badly? Look how good my score in antutu is (no overclocking,cpu and gpu - everything stock):
If you are using a custom kernel disable zram. Real racing 3 will lag when offers are loaded at the title screen. If you get lag in game then you have something else going on.
System panel on the playstore can help you see what is going on. Also disable dvfs with the xposed module as that causes issues with overclocked devices.

Anyone else. Would like to fix this issue.
No one?
I have similar problem (just posted a help thread about it), in my case it's thermal throttling which is scaling down CPU to 800MHz after 5 mins of playing heavy games. try running CPU analyzer from System Tuner and check if that's the problem.
