[Q] who plays hd games? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the topic says who plays hd games? I.e. The gameloft ones? I mean a lot like for a good half hour. I have many apps installed, all apps that can be moved to sd have been moved. Problem is after a while the game starts lagging so much I cant pass the level of the game. I have ~35mb internal memory remaining

Try to free up some memory on phone, free some RAM like closing unused apps, and cool down phone.

Once I did that and faced no problems, but I'm not a gamer. Just played 9mm while I was bored back then.

i didnt have any problems with hd games.
for me, they are almost lag free.. have you updated to latest soft?
they even work with move to sd enabler.

I thought I shouldnt use task killers in gingerbread? But apart from that yes I am on .42 firmware.

[Q] Starting to get buggy

Ok, Ive had my xperia play for nearly a year. I have to say its been a good phone and a good gaming tool. But nowdays, whenever I try to play heavy 3D games (e.g. zombiewood, indestructible by gameloft, batman, etc) it starts to lag and freeze so much. so much that I just uninstall the game and forget about it and let that empty feeling eat me up....
Anyways, I think the problem is either: the RAM efficiency or the ROM itself. I am on doomkernal (the latest one) and on the JokaWildv3 ROM. I have RAM manager installed and it usually tells me that I have approx 130-70mb free (this is not internal memory btw). I try to overclock my phone to 1.4GHz but it still lags/crashes when I play. I also think that some apps (e.g. facebook app, google play etc) have a part to play in the RAM since I close them yet, they are still running in the background. Im also considering changing ROM since tbh, I preferred the stock 2.3.4 ROM...
Anyways, what do you guys think is the problem on my phone?
EDIT = Had a look through the ROMs and im thinking to eithier go back to stock 2.3.4 or go with DiXperia 2... anyone had any lags/crashes while playing heavy 3d games with these ROMs?
I use Gin2JB and it's great. My games are quite smooth.

would the heavy 3d games be smooth? And is there a way where I can keep my RAM being used efficiently ?
I can play NOVA 3 quite smoothly if thats what you mean?
You could also try RAM manager

I guess u can play fully 3d games like batman, dead trigger with no lags then.
I do have ram manger and I do get about 180mb free but that really doesnt last long..
I can play wild blood with minimal lag last i checked. Batman doesn't run the best but apparently moving it to internal storage helps. I'm not sure how dead trigger runs. Gin2JB is a good ROM and i'm happy with it. Perhaps you could try V6 supercharger? I'm not a big fan but others have liked it. I like it for the die hard launcher.

have you used any roms other than gin2jb?

It freezes because it's insufficient ram while playing. Try to close some apps before playing.

Try using some gaming tweaks and RAM tweaks such as Supercharger6, game booster, RAM manager, and so on. Maybe some bloatware stock system apps can be freezed or uninstalled in order to free RAM usage, because usually some stock system apps run in background. Hope this helps..

okay i'll try it. thanks
Same here
I'm facing the same problem too with my InDroid V6 REMICS ROM too! Its playable but only when things get nasty like when you hit against a wall with your car during the start... Although Dead Trigger seems to work fine... btw, can you give me the link for your CM10 a2 ROM thingy?
Working Fine now...
I've installed CM10 Alpha 3 and GTA lll works fine but with a few lags... No freezes like my old ROM... I also installed Supercharger V6, TweakZ, Bravia Engine and Geeky Engine MOD on my device and it seems to have no improvement whatsoever.... At least GTA3 work :good:
Thanks anyway!
But it also seems lag, so I will try vice city tomorrow

Not possible with ICS,on any ROM,games lag to much,i have tried ICS stock,and with Ultimate HD but to laggy,so i downgrade it to GB.GB rocks with heavy gaming.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
The only game I'm aware of that doesn't work with ICS is Shadowgun, all other games should generally work on ICS, more so if you're using a custom ROM, I'm using Xperia Ultimate HD2, and it works pretty well, plenty of Ram available, just make sure you don't fill your phone with apps that use up your phones storage and runs in the background, try finding alternative apps that are smaller and don't run on the background constantly. If you have a CPU clocking app, make sure it's set to performance and you should be able to run anything.

Did you play heroes o&c? My arc s runs runs smooth in tutorial but when I loading match, it fc.
Btw, thanks for your advices
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Ah, no I haven't, I don't really like games on mobile devices, and I refuse to download a game that's 800mb, mainly because I only have an 8gb S.D card, if you check the reviews, people with our phone seem to be able to play it.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
if you're much of a gamer, just install x-gamer rom. it's based on GB but tweaked

really working trick for hard gaming :D

i found a method to play very well all the game you must to install THIS task killer and active all the root killing option and when you clean the ram you have more than 200mb of ram and the app not restart(i add to excluded list the launcher and swiftkey beacuse when he kill swiftkey then i must select again because the stock keyboard is active) (after play restart the phone for normal use) sms and call work normally when you play super fluid ....i try on CM9, CM10,CM10.1 with :
asphalt 7
real racing 3
subway surf
temple run 2
cm9 is clean with no script ecc ecc
i install a fast reboot program to reboot fastly when i finish to play
NOW YOU CAN FINALLY PLAY WELL!!! :laugh:
UPDATE
i add screen to see my setup.....
i try on CM10, CM10.1 and CM9 and i see better performance and more free ram on CM9 but i can play well on CM10, CM10.1 too
If you you want the apk......
Download apk here --> http://www.mediafire.com/?dgn20btes32xykz
Enjoy
Thanks for your advice! Starting download Real Racing 3

Maybe it causes of RAM factor, I play rr3 on fresh rc6 really fresh without 3rd party apps. And I got rr3 run smoothly and not freezing.
But, I can't live with no apps on my ROM

if the problem is shortage in ram, the real solution is to create swap.
task killers can only clear as much ram there is in the device.
games like real racing 3 and contract killer 2 need more ram than what our Wonder have.
by creating swap at least 256mb, ram is extended so these games do not fc no more.

Need to buy microSD class 10 for best performance for creating swap.
Try this later when I have it.

you can also use your internal sd for it if you have space left, i've tried 128mb and contract killer 2 works just fine

Yes, I have do it. I use ram manager pro to create swap file., but I scared it can degrade my sd card life.,

UPDATE first post with setup screen
this really works .Thanks
But i cant free soo much memory ^....Even though i use hadidj's kernel (which has 376 mb of ram) I can get only 160-170 mb free. And i kill the swift key too , I excluding the phone.. I would like to free 200mb like you or more on this kernel hehe
It is much better to play subway surfers. Only very rare small lags ^^
R: really working trick for hard gaming
I use stock kernel and I wait to try a hady kernel to try with more ram yes often a small lag persist e rarely the app restart again but I think because I kill first to wait for the super user gain of the program

Close any apps that you don't use while playing the game or switch to a custom ROM dedicated to gaming. Reboots in game usually means not enough RAM.

Have you overclocked your CPU? This is the main reason, why reboots happen.

Not enough RAM would not reboot the phone, but Android would just shut down unneeded apps, first background apps, then the main app (in this case, the game) etc etc.
