Hello. Recently I have installed Android 2.3.3 on it because I wanted to play some 3D games and they lag like hell.
I've got some HD games like Splinter Cell Conviction and BattleField Bad Company 2 and both are lagging really bad.
For Splinter Cell Conviction, the textures don't even load! Everything is white except the characters.
Also GTA 3 lags like crap. Maybe 2 or 1 frames per second.
I've heard I needed to go into this rom file in the system called "build.prop" and change a line :debug.composition.type=gpu" to "debug.composition.type=mdp"
I did and it didn't do a damn thing.
Maybe in 5 years I'm going to get a reply. This forum is dead.
maybe someone witb more game experience on the ds5 will come along....but i would lime to add,i would try setcpu,and put it in performance mode before playing the game,to see if theres a difference....perf mode will run bat down fast tbough

Maybe you should get your money back...

Too late to get my money back.
Also I've tried just now SetCPU and OC'ed to 1.19GHz.
Games still lag but not as bad. They run better. Any App to OC the GPU?
GTA 3 Still lags like crap.
besides setcpu to overclock....did you put it in "performance mode" which forces it to full speed all the time...but will drain batt down fast if not plugged in....also im running dsc.63 it can overclock to 1267,i run it in consertive or ondemand(still trying to find best setting)then run in performance mode if gaming(i set in call profiles to max cpu)....i was wondering about the chainfire app for gaming...but cant remember name

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...

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.

How is the gaming performance on aops and akop roms for ea and gameloft games( heavy 3d ones). Do they lag and stutter, low fps? How is it compared to stock/ samsung based roms?
they run at a good fps rate..so far i ve played dead space,ME infiltrator,Asphalt 7,mordern warfare 3...and the list goes on..
The update check on startup is the oly thing that makes me to uninstall the games cuz i don't want ppl sayin my SGS2 is slow

The problem:
This problem is simply with the developer of the game and not the Roms. They supposed to have release a genuine update to their apk(s) to fix this issues.
Many people are facing this same problem, but only on AOSP based Roms.
Possible solution:
Before opening any of those troublesome games, ensure both your mobile data and Wi-Fi connection are DISABLED.
Peace.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783260
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??
cuz on my phone it is...
and wich frameware ur using?
Live wallpapers and games lags on mine too, whata hell?! Thought this phone could handle most of the things without 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 all,
My phone experiences big lag on most of the Glu Games. When I first enter the game everything is smooth, but after playing for a while (10-20 minutes, it depends) the phone starts stuttering. I have to quit the game, which takes like 2-3 minutes, go to the Task Manager and press Clear Memory. After this everything gets back to normal. By enabling the show CPU usage from the Developer Options, I can see that every time the phones lags, mmcqd/0 is eating a lot of CPU and stays high until I Clear the memory. This happens with Contract Killer 1 and 2, Contract Killer Zombies, Blood and Gory, Blood and Glory Legend. Other games like Dead Trigger, Dungeon Hunter 3, Shadowgun, Death Dome lags a bit, and all other smaller games like Angry Birds, etc are running smooth.
Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?
Just to rule out some suggestions:
- I don't have Power Saving enabled
- I don't have an external SD card
- I did a Factory Reset
I'm on latest stock ROM for BTU: I9300XXELLA.
Thanks.

Just updated first post. I'm on stock LLA. Haptic feedback is disabled.
Stocks aren't really optimized for heavy usage..you should have no such probs on a custom rom. If you're on stock just for battery, you could settle in for battery savers like phenomenal kernel..

That's strange because using other intensive games like Dungeon Hunters I have a smooth experience. It just happens as mentioned with most of the glu games.
No one else having these issues?
Can I simply flash SiyahKernel without doing anything else? I'm on latest stock 4.1.2 LLA (with Exynos security bug fixed).
Will it have any impact if I'm not also using a custom ROM?
you can flash only the kernel, yes
Running siyah now and having the same problems.
same as me....lag..freeze after a while
Im on MA2 rom Tuga Power from MiUi from CM10.1 from marcello v9 from viking rom v456
all lag hard and freeze on glu games especcially contract killer 2
So i stripped everything out just leaving cam.gallery.browser.files.
I get like 400 /500 mb free ram on boot but once i start the game 20-30 minutes it lags hard amd freeze
Check ram usage amd i have 100/200mb free ram but contract killer 2 is stuck. Battery out and back at 1 again over and over.
I dont know why a quad [email protected] [email protected] is freezing.
Siyah kernel 1.8.9
Puzzled for sure and worse of all my p6200 galaxy tab 7 plus plays it beautifully no stutter or lag or freeze... 7hours straight.

I have two galaxy SIII's and experiencing exactly the same problem. It only happens in glu games (tried blood and glory 1 2, dragon slayer, heroes of Destiny). I did some search on the internet but haven't seen anyone experiencing this problem but you.
Hello,
there are a lot of people with such a problem within Contract Killer 2. I have also S3 (9300) and after 1 contract played sound is going crappy and I cannot play due to freeze, but interesting is that enemies can walk,shoot, everything except me. After reboot it is going fine one contract and again.
I have disabled hardware overlays... any new solutions such an annoying problem ?
Regards,
