[Q] Anyone else's sensation constantly freezing n force closing while playing games? - HTC Sensation

Hey guys! I just got my sensation yesterday at a T-mobile and it's been rebooting and games have been force closing on me quite often. It might be that the games I'm playing are not meant for this phone but the weird thing is that these games worked fine on my nexus one.
n64oid - was fine on N1 although laggy.
dungeon defenders
samurai II: vengence
last stand
Psxdroid-doesn't work at all it seems.
I'm aware these games may not be enhanced for the sensation but I'm just wondering if it was just me or has any of you had problems with the phone freezing and force closing while running more "resource demanding" apps? I want to know so I'd know whether or not I should swap it out. Thanks for any help.

yep, certain games keep freezing for me to. guerilla bob is one that freezes without fail after 2-3 minutes. don't really get force closes, it just freezes and then i have to press the home button to get out. i wonder if it's related to the battery temperature, or maybe the memory is running low?
edit: also, ive had the same issue on two different devices.

The only two games I ever play run smooth as butter and look insane on the Sensation. They are Home Run Battle 3D and Angry Birds RIO. They actually run smoother than on my G2X.

hmmm.. this isn't good :/ it feels to me as if my sensation is unnecessarily freezing on games it should be able to handle..
mine also freezes on Modern Combat 2 HD and Nanopanda..
wonder if this is a hardware or software issue..

I've noticed it with Dungeon Defenders. DD uses around 125MB of RAM. I've noticed that while I use the Sensation I have less than 150MB of RAM. I'm thinking that the RAM gets depleted by games that use over 100MB of RAM and causes the phone/game to crash. I can't even play DD for long until the phone crashes.
If I kill all the apps the game runs smoothly, but if I play it with not a lot of free RAM it becomes choppy and noticeably laggy.

Once we get root and get the bloatware/Sense off of it, most of these games are going to fly.

Yup. Even dual core phones can't handle this bloated sense crap. I can't even run live wallpaper, lol. Need.... Root... Gasp!

[Q] PSX4DROID V2 on Epic 4g :(

So I am having a horrible time with this one on this device I guess. I have DL'ed multiple Bios for the app and currently am sticking with 7502 and 1001 which seem to work for the most part. All my games are slower then the actual trial version or PSX4DROID Lite. I have tested FF7, FF8, FF9, Legend of Dragoon, Einhander, Chrono Cross, and my fav Xenogears and every one runs smoother and way faster with no slowdown on the Lite version but when using the paid version is slow slow slow. I have upped the cpu cycle, and messed with the fps and moved these both around from low to high and no difference in the games. The sound in the Lite version on all these games is bad but the gameplay is so much smoother and overall better, the sound in the paid version is spot on but the games lag. I am using the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G which should play these np since I hear from so many others it works great but not sure if its due to my phone? or is it something I'm doing wrong. I have searched the wide world of GOOGLE and found nothing to help. I have searched these forums as well and just haven't found any help with this. I really really really wana jam on some Xenogears or finally beat FF9 as I made it all the way to the end and never got to beat it back in the day.
This is my first Post and I would appreciate any and all advice you pros out there have for a noob such as me
Any assistance at all would be great
Nobody uses PSX4DROID V2 on an Epic 4g? Or does not have the same issues with slowdown like I do? I am not rooted and starting to wonder if thats the issue? Please Help
no one here really cares about that emuklator... v2 of psx4droid is slower than the old build. i bought both so i compare them each time theres an update for v2 and so far the old build is better in most ways especially when it comes to fps. the old build is just a lot more smoother especially for games such as ff9 and castlevania son.
I've tried running gta 2 on psx4droid but the cars and the character itself were missing and so it gave more fps (around 20) but now with v2 i can see everything (graphics are improved) but now the FPS fell down to approximately 15-12 but it is playable so i don't mind the update
Using a task killer won't harm so that you can close down extra things to free up memory then try running the game, hopefully it won't lag.
I'm on an evo 4g and I can say that the latest psx v2 make everything crawl. What worked for me was the first version of psx4droid v2 that was released, try searching the web and everything should run smooth, it does for me on the snapdragon so should fly with the hummingbird.
I also noticed that if u use app2sd it will affect the emulator since u are trying to run the game off your sd card like on my evo. So give it a try and all should be good.
Also I would stick with 1001 bios since that is what the focus of the port is.

same issue with me mate, running stock and FF tactics will fluctuate in speeds, mostly on the slower side
I have the same problem on my x, I've given up with it.
I too get FPS problems with this crappy emulator on my DHD. I get about 35FPS in GT2 but it's still too laggy, this is on v2. v1.1 of PSX4DROID runs much much better.
Won't have to wait much longer to play PS1 games on Android

[Q] Perfomance? Gameplay videos?

Hello!
I'm wondering how this phone perform in heavy apps and games.
I've searched for gameplay videos on youtube but haven't found any. Maybe my searching skills sucks. Can anyone here make a gameplay video? Or link to an existing gameplay video?
I'm about to buy LG Optimus 2X, Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation. So I'm just looking for some answers.
Does anyone know any LG O2X vs SGS2 vs HTC Sensation article/video?
Hi.
You can find some gaming performance on this video after min 13:00.

how did you get em to work as it doesnt recognise my phone on gameloft site. cant find em on the market
Thank you for the video!
What happend @ 14:26 ? Since he went to the Task Mangager I guess he didn't have enough free RAM to run the game. But shouldn't a phone with that amount of RAM don't run low on RAM?
Would this phone be the right phone for me if I want a phone that can run EVERY game that exists now. And every coming games for about 1 year?

The Sense UI is a real memory hog. It certainly looks nice, but it takes up a lot of memory. That's why I'm hoping HTC unlocks the bootloader on the Sensation soon than later.
i have been using the desire hd version for those games (cracked apk's)
and what happened @14mins mark was: that game is supposedly made only to run on tegra 2 devices but somehow this guy has found a workaround for it that still is a bit buggy !
about the ram: dont worry u wont run out of ram !
Alright! Thanks.
How much free RAM would it be possible to get? Without rooting or change rom. How much RAM would I save by maybe turn off some animations ?
Like I said before. I wanna be able to run heaviest games that exists now perfectly. And the coming games for a while. Is this the right phone then?

I guess it's quite good on gaming. But maybe gaming works better on another phone.
I guess that playing games eats battery on every phone But I can charge it while I'm playing.
Ah I got a question now. HDMI works on every TV, but it only charge the phone if the TV supports MHL? Is there any adapter, so I can charge it AND using HDMI without a TV that have MHL.

Yes they do have such adapters that allow you to do that which should be coming out soon. I believe I saw one in a Galaxy S II demo video a couple months ago that had two microUSB ports: one for the MHL connection and one for the phone charger.

He was trying to run a game optimized for Tegra - for some unknown reason it didn't launch on the first attempt (black screen), therefore he launched the task killer and force closed the game. He did not kill any other applications. After that, he proceeded and (this time successfully) launched the game a second time.
This definitively wasn't RAM related as there was still plenty of free space left.

Ah okay
The LG O2X does have randomly reboots. This one have a death grip and the camera app crashes. Samsung Galaxy S2, seems to be so plastic and slippery but that phone seems to be quite stable.
HTC Sensation doesn't have USB OTG.
All the phones probably have more bugs but that's a few of them. This is driving me crazy.
Is there a way to turn Sense animations off? That might help memory use and performance.

sometimes it helps to read or better yet look at the videos because in the video he did test dungeon defenders and in other post others have been playing dungeon defenders. so next time to avoid unnecessary post search observe and most of the time your question is already answered

The search doesn't do anything, the video I saw him load angry birds with no mention of dungeon defenders. Although I asked if anyone tried it, not if there were videos of it. The game runs smooth on my SGS in single player, but in multiplayer it can get really laggy. He just showed that it boots fast pretty much.

First one... My point was single player vs multiplayer on dungeon defenders is way different on the SGS phones (which are listed as "mid range" for their specs, and the only thing better is Tegra2s).
It's not essential, I just can't find much info any where on the net about it (then again it's hard to find as typing "dungeon defenders sensation" brings up tons of forums that discuss both dungeon defenders and sensations but separately) and I have read the SGS2 (which isn't really an option for me, but I am presuming the Hercules will be similar) has problems with gaming. I don't think that will persuade me one way or the other but figured I would just drop the question in a gameplay thread.
I like the qHD screen, but I love my amoled... The benchmark comparisons is sort of worrisome as well, but I might end up with a sensation either way, as long as the bootloader gets unlocked.

Sonic 4 Episode I arrives on market!

Hey so I just seen on this market pretty bad compatibility for a lot of devices it seems, the data download is choppy and the audio is reportedly out of sync for SOME devices other devices just find the game to laggy.
Having tried it myself i find it very choppy Xperia Play controls work fine for me, although other users are reporting problems, this could be down to bad downloads/ custom roms.
Not to mention it's like over a year late, guess its in preparation for episode II

You are better off buying sonic CD, its much longer and its much more fun. Sonic 4 just plain sucks.
It's working smoothly for me with xperia play controls... Stock rom with root and some system apps uninstalled, and supercharged and i have chainfire installed....
Edit-Played through first level with only one lag spike which didn't really affect me since it was so small... Touchpaxz do not work but the d-pad does and I can't see why you would want the Touchpaxz to work so I'd say buy the game... No idea what's wrong with your version... Maybe try deleting and re downloading the sd data....

Working fine for me too, Sonic CD runs better but I guess if I change my v6 settings it will run a little better.
PS. I played through first level with next to no lag, a slight bit of slow down in places but bearly noticeable.

Blocked from the market for me. It's saying incompatible with my device.
EDIT: Went ahead and *forced* it anyway... and now I'm wondering why in the hell they blocked Xperia PLAY users from seeing this. It's working perfectly with Xperia PLAY's physical gamepad and I can't quite complain about the performance either.
GAMEPLAY VIDEO:
While Sonic CD was a much bigger deal, this is kind of a big deal for me too... you guys don't know how much I bugged Sega about putting this on PSP (while most games just suck on touch-screens, platformers got the shorter end of the stick by far) and this kinda makes up for it.

Got enough games on your phone?
I downloaded it fine through the market, may just be blocking specific models
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
gonna download and have a look myself, got it on my PS3 and love sonic games!! lets see what its like on my mobile
Can confirm that it works fine on the Play controls.
I just bought Sonic 4 on my old Droid x and then tried the apk on my Xperia PLAY and I can tell you right now that the controls most certanly work. The menus are all touch but the game itsef supports the controls, not the touchpads but the directional pad works great.
I've been playing it a bit now, and must admit I did find a few bits of lag going on :-( but all the controls work find, and tilting on certain bits is loads of fun!!
I'm not overclocking so maybe if I pop SetCPU up to 1.4 or 1.6 it may stop the lag.

Being a long-time console/pc gamer, $60 for a game is normal. As a result, I buy these $5 and less apps like candy
Triangle is supersonic, so it seems all ingame buttons were made for the play. and its not just a carryover from dpad+enter button config.

That is interesting... that means Sega was actively working on making this compatible with the Xperia PLAY this whole time.

temple run brave(new version) lagging in nocturnal

i am on nocturnal r110 right now and i saw there is no overclock option in this as its previous version had.recently i installed the new version of temple run i.e temple brave and the graphics in that game is awesome.but i see my htc onex starts heating up and after all it starts lagging.is it the game problem or my phone?.please reply
Man, I see all these posts about lag in games and I feel bad for you all. I am on my third HOX and none of them have lagged in games. I just got NOVA 3 running on this thing which is easily the most graphically intensive game out right now and it is butter smooth, and isn't even optimized for the HOX. I've put an hour into it so far and it had a smooth frame rate the entire time, no lag at all. I haven't played Temple Run Brave yet but I'm sure it will be just as smooth. The first Temple Run runs perfectly on my phone and people have complained about that as well.
I dunno what to tell you man... Maybe try flashing the dual core mod and see if that helps. Also, clear your RAM out before playing.

It's the game it does the same thing on my note laggy as hell and makes it overheat

working great here no lag
Looking through the game's comments, it seems like its just laggy in general, a lot of people are getting lag.
Also, isnt this game just temple run with a new skin on top and the fact that you just shoot arrows?
I guess its just Temple Run's attempt at staying relevant.
The game is running smooth for me. Tested it on cleanrom 3.0........
App problem
This is an app problem. It is using way more resources than it should be… I had to set my cpu to max 1560 ghz on sensation xe to get it to run smoothly- and other games such as nova 3 run perfectly without me having to touch my cpu control. Even the iOS version is experiencing the same difficulty- and it is being rated down. Those who are getting smooth gameplay are users with phones with powerful gpu chips- like the newest tegra phones or the galaxy s2 having 400mhz. the htc one x SHOULD be able to run this, however it could be laggy due to no tegra 3 support, and because pixar is the developer, the problem SHOULD be resolved quickly.

XOOM - Slow fps while gaming.

Anyone else notice slow fps while gaming on Gameloft games? I'm not talking network lag, what I'm talking about is slow frames per second. My HTC Rezound runs the games so much smoother. Doesn't make sense since the Xoom hardware shouldn't have a problem handling these games. Any ideas?

Is yours a stock Xoom or are you running a ROM that is OC'd? When I had my Xoom before it was stolen :crying: I overclocked it and noticed games actually got lag being overclocked. Returning back to stock speeds got rid of all my lag, I had this problem with video playback too. Not sure if anyone else had that problem.
I bet it's the ****ty gameloft games, they usually have so much issues that I rather not even touch it. Though what fluke said is also true.
Xoom, rooted and flash with team eos latest wingray, after installing Street Fighter IV, the game can boot up, but when playing the solo mission, the background is white, and after few seconds, the game will shut down.
Installing Chain3d on EOS wingray rom, will mess up your xoom, it will go into brick mode. Please dont install it... i already twice, both go into brick mode, need to reflash back..
i am too kinda dissapointed with my new xoom. even my xperia play runs games better :/
