3D Games Frame Skips - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Anyone having a problem where during heavy 3D games or Benchmarks(Antutu) that you notice the screen freeze up for less than half a second intermittently? I will run Antutu Benchmark and score 141,000 but during the 3D playback i can see it momentarily freeze up about once or twice in both the Marooned and Garden scenes. I've also noticed it intermittently happening while playing Modern Combat 5 etc. It's just a bit frustrating when everything is buttery smooth and then that momentary freeze can mess u right up.
Im running LeeDroid ROM with the cleanslate kernel that is packed with it, and no other add ons or extensions.
Anyone know what the root cause of this can be or any fix?

[Q] Game performance

Hey there
Ive been playing with my new One X for a few days now and really like it, luckily i dont think i ahve experienced any defects so far which is always good however recently i decided decided to install really graphic intense games like GTA 3 and Shadowgun THD to really test the Tegra3.
While the game impressive and are playable i cant help but be a lil underwelmed by the One X's rendering of these games. Theres often slow down with skips and jumps which is really jarring when playing games. Has anyone else played these games and experienced the frame rate issues?
The One X also gets really hot, almost making my hand to start to sweat..
Thanks!
Before launching the games, go into settings -» developer options, and tick the option to not keep background tasks. No probs at all then. After finished playing, untick again

THanks for the tips, although it still seems to jump a bit. Maybe it will improve through software updates. im still on 1.26.
Yeah could be. I'm on 1.28 and shadowgun thd is super smooth with background tasks disabled

Disconnect wifi and mobile data aswell
I just installed it today,was a bit laggy the first time but then i've turned of my wifi and bluetooth and worked like a charm.Version 1.28.
PS:You can also try to play Shadowgun,it's absoluthly amazing.
Good suggestions, thanks. Still iwsh there was a lil more FPS. But its still good!

[Q] Tony Hawk 3 and Mat Hoffmans on Xperia Play

Hello,
I've tried to convert the games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (SLUS 01419) and Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX (SLUS 01113) with PSXperia 2.0. The games inicializated properly in the phone, and ran without any lag, but in both cases, the characters textures were much deformed, making it just unplayable. Somebody get one of these converted games running 100%? I was figuring the possibility of use FPse v0.11.26, but Tony Hawk's ran without sound, and Mat Hoffman's did not get a good fps rate (was slow enough to disturb the game play experience).
Is there anyone who are playing these games and can tell me how to do?
My device is R800i with stock rom, 2.3.4.
I had the same issue with THPS1, I think all the games are affected. Have you tried FPSe? Looks like it may have better luck, maybe not perfect but certainly better.
Yes, i Have tried FPSe, version 0.11.26, but it didnt play the THPS 3 sounds, and its nothing wrong with the rom, in epsxe, for PC, the sounds are played. In Mat Hoffmans, FPSe didnt get a good performance, sometimes the fps falls highly, getting rates under 25.
FPSE v0.11.28 is newly out.
Maybe THPS2 is the best one? I've got THPS1 somewhere, not tried it...
At 1.0GHz I can play in software mode without frameskip, just some occasional audio/music stutter e.g. around the plane on the first level.
At 1.4GHz I can use the OpenGL plugin with music and without frameskip, again with only occasional lag. Frameskip or Boost Mode kills the gameplay. It's kind of my benchmark for testing roms.
So not perfect, but nearly there and playable.
I'm not stock though, currently using Doomkernel v14, Gin2ICS 1.6.9 plus the 15scheduler & 20perfsettings init.d scripts from JokaWild to set and tweak the sio i/o scheduler.

[Q] SGH-I747M (Bell S3) Gaming LAG?

Is it normal for this device to lag when playing 3D games?
I understand that 3D games are quite resource intensive, but I expected better than this.
N.O.V.A 3 is almost unplayable, Modern Combat 3 suffers less lag than N.O.V.A but still a considerable amount, Mass Effect Infiltrator suffers huge lag spikes when multiple enemies are onscreen and even Monsters ate my Condo is lagging.
I am on stock touchwiz, not rooted. No custom kernel. Na-da.
Also, which may not have anything to do with this, the keyboard often lags in the messages (texting) app. Sometimes bad enough that I can watch the sentence finish itself. That's always fun, right?
Thanks in advanced to anyone who can give me any insight.

I know it will sound like a stupid question but can you make sure your power saving (from the statusbar widget) is not activated. I've notice lag on Nova Launcher while this was turned on even if I set the powersaving option not to affect CPU performance.

Thanks for a quick reply
And no, power saving mode is not on. I never activate this mode as every single task becomes extremely laggy D:
I would return this phone. This is no normal behavior. I played those game before rooting without a lag. I even downloaded torrent while playing without any lag. The phone heated up a little but hey it's a phone!

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for; just some insight as to whether it's normal or not.
I'll look into whether I can get this sorted out. I've just gotta find the right way to get this covered by warranty or just pay a deductible for a new phone
Good thing I have an extended warranty!

[Q] Gaming performance?

Is every1 of you satisfied with the gaming performance of the tab? I would have assumed, that's actual games run smoother smooth with this device, so should youtube-hd videos... but neither games (Asphalt 8 Airborne, Repulze,...) run smooth (they are stuttering somehow) nor do youtube videos run smooth (same stutter). Any1 else noticed it? I played around with some governors, not even "performance" strikes those stutters out... I saw a thread in some other forums, where the LG g2 left cpu rendering active as default.. so i took the advice and chaged the egl.cfg in system/libs/egl... no effect at all.
Also the videos don't seem to be "filtered" - had a NExus 7 before, videos were super smooth and "filtered" (I don't know how to describe this more accurately...). The videos on the GPad look more pixelated and definitely not smooth... there seems to be some kind of filter/driver/...? missing...?
Any ideas?
EDIT:
see this page:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g-pad-8-3/333491-overclock-underclock-stuttering-smoothing.html
i tried to edit the egl.cfg... but it didn't change anything, sadly.
I don't play those games, but dead trigger 2, real racing 3, arcane legends and shadow gun dead zone run smoothly all day. Most I've played was 2 hours straight.
Little stutter
I have a little stutter i Youtube while watching Danny McAskill way back hoke, but it is both with and without HD and I also experience some stutter on my pc (core i7 integrated graphics). On the other hand I watched some netflix without stutter so maybe it's something with youtube.
I tried asphalt 8 and noticed a little stutter in the beginning but later it was gone (played 20 min great game by the way) and I never experience any stutter in Defence zone 2 HD.

Game Stutters after 3.2.6 update

Hi All,
Is anyone who is on OOS 3.2.6 as of now, please confirm if they are also experiencing game lags? Games like MC5 is performing like it did with old OnePlus One. Even game like C-Ops on which i used to get consistent 60+ fps is not stuttering at barely 25-30 fps. Just want to confirm that it's the app or a universal issue with this update.
I do not play that graphics intensive games, but the games i play is smooth like butter
3.2.7 literally came out just now. Oneplus fixed it.
I have only noticed it in Sky Force Reloaded. Let's hope 3.2.7 takes care of it.
Thanks! Will check and test it. Appreciate the response.
I have noticed it in both the FPS i play, MC5 and C-Ops. Will flash 3.2.7 and will check if it's fixed or not.
I have a big issue with that modern combat 5. After playing the first campaign mission, the game just freezes at the screen where I'm rewarded with an elite pack, and have to tap on the pack to open it.
When I do so, nothing happens and the game just hangs indefinitely. I've tried to get past/avoid that screen but to no avail. I've attached a screenshot below.
It's really exasperating being stuck on that first mission. Can anyone offer me a solution? 👏
I must say the MC5 has gone **** from being an awesome game. it was better when it was a paid app. now it's all full of ****ty ads everytime you even press back or select an option. But i love it anyways
I'm facinf an issue with 2 games in stock 3.2.8 , asphalt dealing with frames drops/slutters, and during modern combat the cores go crazy to MAX and the phone becoming hot to 446-48C. is this normal?
Welcome to Android gaming bruh! Here it laggs and there it thermals your device, it's really hard to find a balance.
