Ive been playing Temple Run and Collapse a lot lately and I've been able to go back into my game and keep playing with all my game data in place. Then I noticed after not having played for about a full day that I would go back into my game and all of my progress is gone!? I never deleted any data off my phone or off the sd card portion or anything like that. At most my phone might have restarted and that's about it. Has anyone else been having a problem with this?
This has happened with my current htc one s and the one that i've already sent back to tmobile. It's also been occurring on stock and now that i have root. Any ideas as to why?
Not sure. I have problems playing games themselves. Namely plants vs. zombies, dead space and NBA jam. Think its a dual core phone issue since my hd2 plays and saves flawlessly. I would suggest you do a titanium backup every play through, then just restore data when you come back. Not ideal but better than starting everything all over

Read the thread, that's more related to me going in and out of the game though. I don't see why multitasking would screw up my save data on a game. Shouldnt the game already "save" its data somewhere... Like on collapse for instance... you play level by level. You pass a level it saves and you can move on to the next. My problem is when im done playing and i stop using my phone, i go back into my game and everything is gone. as if i never played the game at all.

i just flashed the Android Revolution 5.1.3 rom today but the problem started even when i had 5.1.1.. it just randomly started playing this weird guitar music and it doesn't stop until i restart the phone. it happened again just a few minutes ago and this is after flashing the 5.1.3 update. unfortunately i'm still pretty new to the android OS so i don't know everything about it which is why i'm here asking you guys... i checked the "running services" page in the settings to see if there was anything that it could be coming from but i didn't see anything out of the ordinary. i even checked the stock ringtones to see if it happened to be one of the ringtones that was playing but i don't think it's any of those either. i really have no idea what is going on. it's not that big of a deal because i can just restart the phone to make it stop but i really don't want this to keep happening. does anybody know what this could be and maybe have some advice one how to prevent this from happening again?
Do you have the game called "farm story" installed?

I experienced this a few times from NinJump (game). When I would leave it running in the background rather than actually quitting the app, it would randomly start playing music sometimes
Yeah if you had farm story on it and had a notification in the bar it plays its theme song... lol I had to turn off the music in the game because it would start at anytime of the day or night anytime you had to do something on the game it played it lol.

strange.. i don't think i've ever heard the music in any of the games that i have. it hasn't happened all day though. hopefully it stays that way.
soo recently (around the time i upgraded to CM7, but dont know for sure if this is the reason) my words with friends game which we all love so much started freezing constantly!!!!
anyone else having this issue recently?
ive always known that its a super ****ty written program but it never used to freeze after every motion....any idea whats going on?
it behaves decently if i play when ive just restarted my phone, but after an hour or so of being on, it runs like ****. thus making me think maybe it does have somthing to do with CM7....
lets get some words of wisdom on the issue

Nope, no issues here with WWF and CM7.
Have you tried clearing app cache AND data for words with friends in your applications menu?
Working fine here also.
No problems on any CM7 nightlies.
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with gameloft sacred oddessey everytime I start the game I keep getting the force close straight away tried playing on phone and sd card also tried clearing data and reinstalling any suggestions please

Yep, everyone on 2.3.3 has the same problem.
Same thing with Rainbow 6 as well.
I only bought Sacred Oddessey last week so I'm annoyed I can't play it now.
Just hope they fix this problem soon
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I've submitted a ticket for both Sacred Odyssey & Rainbow 6 but heard nothing back yet.
I've also tipped off engadget, if these issues hit the online press Sony Ericsson & games companies may be more inclined to collaborate closer in the future and a fix for this may be faster forthcoming.
I'd suggest that more people submit this problem to engadget in the hope that they do article the problem.
Engadget will morph the news so that "Gameloft's games don't work on Android" so one has to make judicious use of the press thing.
I received a reply from Gameloft saying that they've 'resent the download links to my phone'.
Redownloaded from the links but still force closing.
I don't think that they've actually changed anything!
Yep its because of 2.3.3 because i went back to 2.3.2 and it works. I only went back because i was half way through the game!

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Just flash the rooted 2.3.2 system .img, i did that, i prefer the 2.3.2 rom, it seems faster

I was getting this same issue. It would force close after about 5 min. like clockwork.
1)I went in and deleted the game files/ folder stored on the SD card manually.
2)Then I restarted the game and let it redownload them.
3) I then soft reset the phone ( removed battery with phone still on, then waited 10 sec-- not sure if it's completely necessary) turned phone back on.
I haven't had any issues since. Played the game for about an hour with no problem. I suspect it was a software issue. Also could be Androids OS related. Something like memory/resource management. Nor sure. Also could've been just corrupt game files from my initial download.
Anyhow, hope this helps someone. Helped me.
I'm running 2.3.2.

Yep i did the same as you . I did not like 2.3.3 either, all they have done is added more Facebook crap which i normally uninstall anyway using root uninstaller.

Hey all,
While my phone has been absolutely fantastic in just about every aspect, the only issue is that anytime I try and play a game on it, it will freeze and I have to completely close the game out and restart it. Do any of my fellow redditors have any suggestions as to what may be causing this or how to fix it? Or are any of you experiencing this as well.
I have yet to experience this and I have been playing a lot of games. What games are causing this? Also, redditors? This is XDA.
Sorry about the redditors thing, they suggested here and i forgot i put that in there. The two that i know of are Temple Run and Baseball '12
I've put a good few hours into Temple Run and haven't even had a single stutter. Haven't played Baseball '12. I dunno what to tell you. It *shouldn't* matter but how much free RAM do you have before playing the games? Have you tried killing everything (again, you *shouldn't* have to do this) before playing?
I have gone through task manager and killed everything possible several times. Doesn't clear it up. Do you think it might be something with the phone and should return it for another???
killing those apps actually makes things worse. Leave things as they are.

Have you tried doing a factory reset and just installing Temple Run and seeing if it still does it?

How would freeing up RAM make things worse? I get that Android is supposed to have very good memory management but it has been more than proven that the One X is not your typical Android phone in this regard. Its memory management flat out sucks.
I can also confirm no stutter on Temple Run. Good luck.

I was trying to avoid that but i may just have to do that tomorrow after saving all my contacts. Will update after attempting this to see if it fixes it.
while we are on the subject, I too have been playing a lot of games with no real problems except for GTA III. At first everything was working excellent except the sound would crackle in the menus and occasionally in the game. After a while however with all display settings at max, the game would start randomly stuttering and slowing down So I lowered the settings some which helped, but it still does it about 10% of the time. Tried reboots several times and doesnt seem to fix anything.
Everything else works wonderfully and I think I remembered someone posting something about GTA III running perfectly at full display settings. Wonder if maybe I need to somehow re-install. Also it seems like there are a lot of people who have odd ball issues with programs not running correctly while everyone else seems to be fine. Wonder if there could be some defect with the phone, maybe its occasionally corrupting parts of files when installing. IDK just thinking out loud.
GTA III I have problems with the game too. there is something wrong with the phone memory management. My SGII could handle this game with no problems.

Thanks, good to know. Wishful thinking maybe, but I'm hoping the update might fix this and some other issues.
are you guys able to play Let's Golf 3 or GT Racing or Real football 2012?
My first post here. I've been lurking and learning for a year or more and this is the most knowledgeable place I know of.
I have the att version of this tablet and I am having serious crashing issues. I can use an app for about 20 minutes or so and it will blue screen and restart itself. After it happens once it will do it every few minutes until I leave it alone for a while. Sometimes I need to hard restart it and sometimes it will restart on its own but the screen doesn't come on. Only sound. As far as I can tell it's not overheating and this will happen even if I install nothing from the play store and just use the factory apps.
I have reset to factory many times and reinstalled the firmware with kies and that didn't help. I have returned the tablet to att for a replacement and I have the same problem with the replacement. I'm past the 14 days now and would need to return to Samsung but I don't want to do that if there is something I can do on my own.
Anyone else having these issues or can point me in the right direction to fix this?

I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

Yes. It is very nice to know I'm not the only person having the issue.
20 minutes is really more of an average. Sometimes I can go longer without an issue but it is guaranteed it will crash.
You bring up a great point that I didn't notice. It is more frequent when it is an app that uses a lot of data.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
No such issues on the international P905... Not in any of the games I play (It does 6 hours straight without issue) nor in data-heavy apps.
So it's likely AT&T-branded related.
My ATT version occasionally has a few apps that crash. I just restart and usually it's good. It is the same apps that do it so I don't thinks it the tablet.
I am experiencing the same thing on my P907. Can't seem to nail down the culprit.
Are any of you that are having this issue rooted?

I had the same issue then realized it was connected to Knox. I had 'Frozen' all Knox connected apps after I rooted an thought that might be it. I did a new root and it worked fine till I installed SuperSu which was not the issue specification but rather the fact that it disables Knox during the installation. I did one more clean wipe then when I rooted this time I just left Knox alone and I have had zero random reboots or crashes and I have not tripped Knox.
No, no root. Stock. I have minimised the frequency by switching from samsung keyboard to the swipe keyboard but it still occurs.

It happened when it was stock and it happens rooted. It's gotten to the point now that I went back to my iPad. I'm not liking the iPad since I've switched but I just can't use the note with it crashing all the time. I don't know what else to try.

I've seen a report or two about stability issues related to micro USB cards. If any of you are using one it may behoove you to try shutting down, removing the card and running without it for a while just to rule that out. Sometimes a corrupted card can do it when an application writes or reads from a particular location of the card. It's worth a shot.
Mine doesn't crash. But I feel it freezes occasionally. Itis actually subtle, but I can feel it. Especially, I certainly feel that my note 3 runs more smoothly then the note pro 12.2. Mine is a wifi version. Has anyone else got the same feeling? How can I optimize the device?

Do you use a microsd card? Most cards are really slow compared to internal memory. The Note Pro seems to install whatever it can on External-sd when adding a new app. Go into application manager to move all apps back to internal storage. See if that helps with the stutters and freezing.

All my apps are installed internally. I got some time to run the benchmark tests and the scores all seemed to be normal. However, in Antutu, the memory score of the note pro is about 60% of the score of note 3. Could the memory be the reason for the stutters?
So I called Samsung and I am sending it in for repair. As I said in my first post I already swapped for a new one at att and I have the same results so I'm not thrilled about sending this in just to have the same issues with whatever they send back to. Be it a new tablet or if they say mine is fixed. I didn't pay over $900 for something I can't use so I will get this resolved one way or another. I will report back when it's returned to me.

I think I may have licked it and not really sure why but I've gone from a dozen crashes a day to zero for the last few days. I went into Kies and did a Firmware Upgrade and told it to completely wipe out all of my data. It downloaded the firmware and reinstalled, I rerooted restored everything from Titanium Backup and its all good so far... Something to consider

im having the same problem. it occurs almost always when im playing games. I thought this device's hardware was top notvh for a tablet but it can only run on the lowest quality settings of most games. im very disappointed.
I experience this too, but it usually happens when the cover is open and it's on the back side of the device, it sometimes interact with magnetic sensor (some little movements of the case) and causes soft-reboot.
Nothing happens if cover is on the front side.
I should have my tablet back tonight or tomorrow depending on UPS. they sent me an email stating they replaced a component (whatever that is) and updated the software. We'll see if that fixes it.
