Hi everyone
I recently purchased the TF300T and rooted it before putting it on .26 and rerooting. I downloaded Sonic 4 Ep1 and GTA 3 from PlayStore and both of them seem to hang randomly.
For Sonic 4 Ep1, I was able to get past the loading screen SOMETIMES but others it would hang after the SEGA and Sonic Team logos. Once this happens, the back button will not work but I am able to go Home.
For GTA 3, I am able to start the game but once I start driving with the first available car, it hangs and it doesn't respond to what I'm doing. I still hear the game radio going on but there is no movement on display and no reaction to my button presses.
I have since reinstalled the apps but to no avail. I also tried a factory reset, re rooting, and still no good. Does anyone have any good suggestions for me to try?
I did the same as you, had problems with gta 3 , crashing on loading, I cleared cache and setting and it plays OK now.
Dunno about your other game...
Thanks, I ended up trying a couple of reinstalls and it ended up working.

Guys,
I have a very weird problem that started a couple of days back with my Galaxy Tab.
I was running a game (game name does not matter as the problem happens in all games) when all of a sudden the 'Pause' screen came into effect.
After hitting any key to continue it played for around a further 20 seconds then it happened again... and again... and so on.
Some games simply pause whilst others will flip back to the reload the game screen then flip to the press continue to play screen.
Whatever it is it only effects games.
I have tried several reboots and looked at all my recently installed/updated Applications but can not ascertain what is causing the issue.
Further, whilst browsing through my installed Apps using the App 'System Panel' (to see if I could locate the offending App) I also noticed when I scrolled down through my installed Apps every few seconds the list would jump back to the beginning of the list.
No matter how many times I scrolled down after a few seconds it repeatedly jumped back to the beginning.
After about a minute or so it stopped doing this.
It's almost as if something is paging the system every so many seconds ~ which may also explain why when playing games it drops the game into Pause mode.
Anyway, the Galaxy Tab is a stock Tab unaltered. It is not rooted nor had a ROM change.
At this stage I do not wish to update the ROM nor perform a factory reset.
As a surgeon you investigate the cause of the problem and not simply give the patient a tablet to mask the pain and send them on their way..... I wish to do the same with the Tab, find out what is causing the problem and not just do a system reset.
Any ideas ladies & gentlemen?
Same problem
I have the same problem on my stock ROM tab.
It's nerve wrecking to reinstall everything again.

As the OP that reported this I feel for you.
I have no idea what caused the problem nor do Samsung.
All I can say is I switched the phone off one night because it was playing up that bad and used my Galaxy S that evening.
The following morning I switched the phone back on again and mysteriously the problem simply vanished.
All I can think is whatever was causing the problem must have been memory resident.
Killing the phone for a long period must have cleared the issue.
I have not come back and reported it is fixed yet as I want to do further tests just to make sure it has gone but more importantly try to find out what caused it in the first place.
In a way although I do feel for you I also am pleased someone else has the problem.
This proves it is not a totally isolated case and may crop up again.
The tests I am currently trying are with the external SD card.
Do you have an external SD card and did/does the problem happen only with games installed to the card?
I have found that all but one of the games were installed in this way.
The one game not installed to SD that when run pauses behaves in a slightly different manner in that it does not pause every 20 seconds or so but every 1 minute or so.
I am beginning to think the problem may be something to do with timing, memory and the external SD card.
Has anyone had any issues playing ShadowGun?
If I reboot my tablet and play ShadowGun it plays just fine, however if I've been using my tablet for awhile and have several application open in the background when I play ShadowGun it freezes up after the first or second shot is fired. You can still hear the game playing through the speakers, but the screen jumps back and forth stuck on the last couple of frames.
I had this same issue on the Prime and I was hoping not to see it on the Infinity too. Could this be a memory issue?
Thanks.
Try Shadowgun THD for Tegra 3, it even runs on power saving mode on my 700 and no freeze whatsoever.

That's what I have. I was excited to get download it and play it on my Prime.
Maybe if I uninstall it and re-install? Such a big app...
Memory Issues?
To follow up with this issue...
After several days using my tablet, Google Mail stated hanging up and crashing. I tried running ShadowGun and it would still freeze up right after the first shot or two. On a hunch, I added the Task Manger widget to my home screen. There were a lot of applications running and even though I'm against task managers, I clicked the "One Click Clean" button. I immediately went back into ShadowGun and it played flawlessly. The Gmail app was working fine again too.
I've changed the setting in the developer section to only allow 4 background processes at most, and I haven't seen the problem since. Could this be an issue where the Infinity isn't clear up memory when it's needed?
Any thoughts?
Do you by any chance have Chainfire3D installed?
No I do not.
Basically just ShadowGun and Dark Meadows.

I have the same problem with some games (ShadowGun and TinTin, for instance) and had it on my Prime as well. At the very beginning of my TF700 ownership, I installed TinTin on it and it played without a problem. I then started installing a lot of programs that I had on my TF201 and after a while I returned to TinTin and it had the jumping frame problem again.
I believe that it is some program that I installed after the first few days, but unfortunately don't know which one. I'll try your task manager trick to see if it (temporarily at least) solves my problem, and if so, I'll try to investigate which task is responsible (if any one particular task is the culprit).
Nice to hear of another person that has experienced the same problem I have...
Hi folks,
Thanks to info here at XDA I've got my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 running KitKat via Omnirom (using Android-Andi unofficial version omni-4.4.2-20140514-p5110-HOMEMADE.zip).
This seems to have cleared up the problems I had with the stock ROM (which had auto updated several times over the last year from 4.04), where the system would reboot and I'd get all kinds of force close errors all the time. This was a real problem because the main use for this particular Tab2 is that my 6 year old plays games on it.
Anyway, with Kit Kat running on it, it's smooth as butter and very stable. But the new Lego Invasion game (one of his favorites) refuses to play... it loads fine, and you can poke around in the menus and stuff, but right when the action should start, it goes back to the home screen. Not sure why the game closes like that. Once it even rebooted the tab. I've tried reinstalling the game, clearing it's app cache, etc..
Everything else is nice and smooth on the system... is there any troubleshooting I can do to figure out how to get this one app to play properly? Any optimization of settings on the tab I should do to try things? I'm a bit out of my depth.
Eventually I'll be wiping the tab again and reinstalling KK again because the specific version I used has the hardware keyboard on by default (so, I have to go and turn that off after each reboot). I'm just looking for less invasive things to try meanwhile.
Thanks!
Marc
After a few cycles of uninstall (of the Lego App) and reinstallation, it seems to be working now. I don't have a good explanation as to why, but at least it seems to have solved the problem, at least for now.

Got my K1 tablet two days. Updated to January MM OTA update. Played Asphalt 8 a couple of times (graphics are fantastic) but the game crashed the whole MM system yesterday, causing me to invoke a force reboot.
The first crash occurred when trying to connect to my Google Play Games. It was loading/connecting and froze. I waited a minute but no joy. Forced reboot and game was smooth again.
Five hours later, while playing Asphalt 8: Iceland Classic. Nothing fancy going on and CRASH! Same thing: force reboot then smoothes as usual.
Tried to find crash logs but no luck.
Help appreciated.
Any more information than that? Are you trying to play said game on really slow sdcard from a few years ago? How did you treat the adoptable storage? Do you have anything else in the background that might interfere, i.e facebook crap? Have you tried factory reset after said update from 5.1.1->6.0.1? The list is endless!
It's rather hard for people to read your mind without more info than "my car sometimes stops working, tell me what is wrong with it?!"

The game is on internal storage. No background apps.
I had the same thing on mine, froze half way through playing the bloody game
Anyone has similar problem? A few games works but games like Chess Free, animation throwdown, Pokemon go, age of wind 3 crashed after I open the games and I have to put in my pattern to log in again.
Games like afk arena, wizard unite works thought...
I rebooted, clear cache in twrp. Uninstalled and install the games again but no luck.
Are you getting any sort of error?

Nope, open game, 2 sec, black screen, back to put in my pattern again as if my phone was restarted.
NVM I wiped data and started over. Mod can close this thread. Thanks.
I can confirm the issue. PES 2019 MOBILE also crashes randomly.
