laggy gaming performance - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bought the zenfone 2 (4gb ram,2.3ghz)yesterday and after updating the firmware to WW-2.20.139 , some games like temple run 2 and asphalt nitro are running with lag,even at minimum graphics quality
I changed the power saver to performance but still nothing happened. Btw,i didnot try any game before updating.
please,help !

Try rebooting into Android recovery mode and clearing that cache partition.
Here is the process.

did you face the same problem?

still didnot work,i wiped the cache but still lagging

After the first update phone lagged and suffered from excessive battery drain. Wiping the cache partition cured my problem.

iam really worried, i had high hopes about this phone but all are shattered, can this be a hardware problem? or is there any fix to this problem

Same phone, no lag here. Maximum settings.

same phone and same firmware.. I don't play a lot of games, however of all the game I play, I never notice any lagging

Same phone, same update, but have lags too.
I did not have this problem when I tried CyanogenMod 12.1 on this phone, it must be the Asus firmware who has problem.

Wipe and reinstall only last firmware with a clean flash. It solved similar problems to me some time ago.

Gpu throttling
That because gpu throttling. I test with gamebench. I choose need for speed no limit. I let my phone heat up at start line and after a while. Fps and cpu temp drop. Because gpu is too hot and need to dropping gpu frequency to cool down around 457 mhz or lower. (default is 533 mhz) That's why the game lag.
The solution for gaming without (or less) gpu throttling is playing while charging or has fan blowing behind the phone. Kinda crazy but I tested and it's work for me.
pic 1: Cpu temp increase. (not throttle)
pic 2,3: Gpu throttling, cpu temp decrease, game lag and slow.
pic 4: Playing with fan blowing behind the phone. (not throttle)

anyone has any other solution fo this,please suggest !

I have this problem too try factory data reset,
Or if you unlocked install project t kernel

I gave factory reset but nothing happened , is this a hardware problem
i did some benchmarks though -
Antutu benchmark v6.0 - 62656
Basemark OS II - 1276
geekbench 3 - single - core score - 913
multi-core score - 2894

updated to the latest firmware version but still no cure
plz help !

!!!SOLVED!!!: Stable HangUPs in 3D CPU intense games on all ROMs

Hey guys,
i got stable hung ups in 3D intense games (asphalt5, dungeon hunter 3D, crusade of destiny)
some 3-10 mins of play and bang! you got complete stall - have to plug out the battery to reboot.
all other games (2D arcades, tetrises, arcanoids, pacmans) are working quite stable.
i've already tried almost all available ROMS (except stock non rooted one, btw - i dont want to update HBOOT to 0.8, full reset with wiping all the caches inc. dalvik and ext3 part before each ROM.)
pays ROM (several vers)
MCR r2-r3.1 (with richard's kernel either with OCUV or with OC only or without any UVOC and with original MCK 1.1 kernel)
amer_mod des final
all are behaving the same....
what the heck? My phone is generic and certified for Russia (PCT) and it's from white shipment.
the only idea i have is slow SD, cause i use the one which was with the phone - 4GB class2 SD.
please ideas? i wanna play some time not only tetris!
just noticed one moment. it happenes not only in 3D games, it also happenes when using the phone intensively, i.e. now I got stable instant reboot when using internal browser (even with pictures and flash turned off) and opera beta for android. the most interesting part is that just before reboot the back bottom part of the phone becomes noticeable warmer, let's say about 40°c and then instant reboot. (just as it is in 3d games) I use Richards OC only (no UV) kernel v14 with Max freq. set to 998 and MCR r3.1 (everything was wiped upon flash)
Re: Stable HangUPs in 3D CPU intense games on all ROMs
Maybe its some kind of thermal protection of the cpu?

i thought so too...
does any one knows some king of CPU thermal monitoring tool with logs for android?
Happens to me as well. The phone heats up like crazy particularly on badly coded games like the ones gameloft released. For example polarbit's armaggedon squadron runs perfectly well for any amount of time but realfootball for example causes the phone to overheat.
They really botched their ports.
just did a thermal monitoring with tempmonitor lite - but on Desite it only monitors BATTERY temp - it's about 32-33 degrees - so far i found no CPU temp mon which works. and still phone reboots during hard flash playing in about 10 mins with battery temp about 32-33 degrees. i also noticed an infinite boot loop when turning on the phone with AC plugged in. (it starting to load sense and just after SD card preparing notification STABLE instant reboot, though it may not be related)
will try to use stock ROM today (i still have the very first nandroid backup)
Try to uv without oc...should get the temps down.
Any of you guys still experiencing these problems? Have an untouched desire (sim free) that hasnt been unlocked or rooted and sometimes (although rarely) the phone just restarts itself.

UV only kernel reported to have some stability probs....
when u use OC only kernel and, as in my case, set up max. freq to 998 it literally means that you just dont user any OC. so overclocking is not the issue...

My phone reboots when I'm playing robo wars, when the battery is LOWish and Im charging the phone at the same time. No battery warning, just reboots. If I have a good charge on the phone, and am charging then it seems fine. This is NOT a lock up, like the original thread starter, but a straight old reboot... Annoying, but I dont play robowars when there is low charge from now on!

i got complete lock ups with only one game (heard rumors about it's bad coding style) the rest issues just reboots the phone. also i noticed that it reboots more frequent when using the phone and it's connected to charger simultaneously.
!!!UPDATE!!! 27.06.10
got back my Desire from the service after 10 days. They've changed motherboard (IMEI also changed) and no more overheating problems!!! HOORAAAY!!!!!!
It's working now even under high load!!!!

[Q] [CPU] My CPU Speed automatically goes down to 810Mhz

My CPU Speed automatically goes down to 810Mhz on all overclocked kernels.
Even in CM10 kernels,
It happens in between while I play a game or so.
Even if I install Kernel with only GPU overclock, it still happens.
But never happens on stock kernels. I have to manually increase the CPU speed by setCPU.
Any Solutions for it Guys?
Moved to Q&A
Try to use Kernel tuner, and normally the device uses 810 mhz too cool down...

Used kernel tuner but still the same result, it goes to 810mhz even if the phone is not hot (just homescreen) and when i increase it, it remains at max even if i play games and make it hot. but after some time (say 15 or 20 minutes) even if I am in standby mode the cpu goes down to 810Mhz. previously at some point it was 1134Mhz.
Guys, anyone with some help. It has even started to occur in Complete stock ROM. (flashed the ftf on locked bootloader, still the max cpu spped drops from 1.5 Ghz to 810 Mhz, some times both cores)

I had the same problem but i discoverd that the Battery saver pro causes that problem for me. If you use the seme app untick control CPU frequency.
It is actually a built in security feature of our phones which gets activated when temperature of phone goes high . At least that's what I know .

G3 lag and high temperature shutdowns

I've had my G3 since launch and it's always lagged really bad when I've been using more than 1 app at once e.g., listening to music and web browsing. The device reaches 95c and then shuts down so I've had to downclock the CPU to 1.9ghz to stop the shutdowns. With it underclocked, it lags even worse now and still reaches quite high temps (75c~) I'm still on a rooted Kitkat as I haven't had time to upgrade the ROM. Do the new 5.xx ROM's fix the lag? Does it still over heat when doing really simple things?
Hi,
When i was on the stock 5.0 (20h) i had a bit of overheating but never reached the point of a shutdown.
Now I'm on a custom Rom (cloudy 2.5) and i have no heating issues, and a very good battery life.
You can try flashing the latest KDZ for your device and test it. You should also check that you don't have a process eating resources running in the background.
For me the only application that lags is the phone/agenda. It is bad lagging when you have many contacts.
I hope it helps.

flash new rom clougyg3 v2.5...works wonders ....avoid task killers ...use system ui with expose installer if you want some customization...

95c? thats frying hot and not safe at all. I guess since you have had it since launch you cant return it. try custom roms and kernels and if it doesnt still fix, i d say go for another device.
assuming you are rooted and have twrp, you can try the ctt mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/thermal-mod-t2907363
worked for me and im on stock rom stock kernel kitkat(vs985). i just got on opera browser for about 6 minutes and the temp just sat at 55c and the power button is not even warm. before flashing the ctt mod i would start blowing at the back of my phone after 2 minutes of web browsing alone.

Lagging while playing garena free fire

Hello guys.
I had some issues with my Galaxy A70. It's lagging like hell while playing garena free fire, my device can handle the game without any issue but I Don't know why this happens.
The problem is when I play the game first 2-3 minutes game works fine but after 2-3 minutes game starts lagging phone slows down and touch sensitivity feels really heavy even game controls seems heavy I can't get fine movement because of this issue. And when I close the game phone seems so much slower it takes 10 seconds to open an app.
And while playing a game when I open the game control menu and close it, game works fine for 1-2 minutes and again it starts lagging. I hope someone here can help me with this issue. Any advice would be much appreciated
My device is not rooted and I'm on android 11 latest version.
Sorry for bad English
It called "thermal throttling".
Most smartphone will thermal throttle when the processor got too hot. Try lower your game setting. This can reduce the heat on the processor, and thus reduce the lag.

I accept your solution. but I'm already playing on lower settings the game lagging also on lower settings. I've tried factory data reset and after that lag disappeared for 2 or 3 days and again after 3 days lag came back I only downloaded the game (downloaded game after factory reset)
I think it's not" thermal throttling " maybe some systems apps causing the issue? Cuz every system has high usage
I've noticed every system apps running at 100%high frequency everytime, I think that might be the issue how can I fix this issue?

Disable you game launcher because when your phone heats up ,it drop your screen frame rate(fps) and also decrease your volume that cause so much of lagging issue.
My suggestion was to use a custom rom to get best gaming experience
It could be anything but if it is related to hardware section u can do nothing. So first of all u need to tell us about the CPU. If it's low-end or entry level CPU u can't play anything on it.
If it's mid-range, I can help u.
I have a phone running on mediatek helio g85 powered by android 12
I face the same issue as you do because I did an update of my os. So don't update your os.
And you need to charge 100% everytime you play. You need to restart the phone or clear the cache of your game before you play. Don't use your mobile data because it will heat up your phone quickly and don't run apps in background like Avast, Facebook Messenger etc. Try to remove your back cover and hold the phone like near a fan and turn off your volume u will notice a big difference and take a break after 30 minutes to cool down and power off the phone and don't use your phone at night power it off.
Also lower your brightness I mean u can play at night time it will not heat up your phone

Do you have vanced installed?
It heats the phone like crazy due to some bug... if heat doesn't throttle it then the cpu/gpu utilization will - on a thermal unlocked device the temp climbs up to 80C gpu/cpu and clockspeeds spike up to max every second or two.
Even with fan the temp is like 50/60C...
Now you probably have some sort of thermal throttle active so if indeed vanced is causing issues it won't spike the temp that much.
I have no idea how to fix vanced issue other than force closing it after done and not using it during gaming at all. Even closing it by swiping from the recent apps does nothing. Some users swear on disabling video resolutions , or using this and that setting but honestly none of that works. Usually takes couple mins / couple vids after running vanced to encounter this bug .
When force closed I can see temp instantly drop from 80C to below 40C within seconds.
If it's not vanced then idk , download cpu float and compare cpu/gpu clocks when you first boot the device vs when it starts slowing down. See if the clock utilization is too high on the homescreen/game menu. That's how I figured out where my issue comes from.
Tho perhaps you might want to disable thermal throttle first before trying to figure this out. It's hard to notice stuff like this otherwise. I remember complaining long time ago about kernel of arrow idling at almost 50C ( no fan, I figured if I used fan it would be 40C on homescreen / 50C + in game ) when in fact it was all from vanced bug. In this case the thermal throttle was on , so temp wasn't that high hence why you really should disable thermal limit , then if you figure it out you can always enable it again later.
