hey folks, sorry for the trouble, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having any issues with Dungeon Hunter 2 performance with the Optimus 3D?
i mean, even in 2D mode! every other game i have and play is just fine! The included NOVA, Lets Golf2, Asphalt 6.. I even bought Samurai Vengeance II from the market and can play it brilliantly regardless of 2D or 3D (from 3D converter)
but for some reason Gameloft's dungeon hunter 2 is a bit choppy in 2D and very! choppy in 3D mode..
I just got the phone the other day and am quite happy with it, this was the first hitch I encoutered really.. I'm running stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 as I updated from official LG PC Suite
any tips? is it me, or some kind of bug or something? or is this game really THAT demanding
thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give
A search of the net shows if it is the hd version it needs 256 mb ram free at run time and o3d doesn't have that free usually so you will need to stop a few apps running.

dont think that should be an issue, really I checked around and 256Mb of RAM is the overall RAM minimum requirement for the phone, but that doesn't mean it needs 256 free
thanks anyway, though!
maybe I should try increasing VM Heapsize? dunno, it's a pitty because I actually like this game quite a bit but the low fps totally kill it for me!
I read it meant it needed that much free but perhaps I misunderstood. As for low fps you can temporarily disable cpu hogs such as live wallpapers and see if it helps.

don't really use live wallpapers or any other cpu intensive stuff in the background, tbh
I just wanted to see if there was something else I might be doing wrong before whining to gameloft support?
already tried fiddling with VM heap, made no change.. also tried to hide libgles_android.so in a differente folder, also no go...
Strange that i have such an issue only with this title, everything else is just butter smooth throughout..
i noticed it happens mostly in that "free roam world-like" forest area whenever trees are being shown? inside dungeons its mostly smooth in 2D, but still not in 3D
unfortunately quite a large chunk of the exploring in this game seems to require roaming around those areas...
Sad panda here, 4€ for this?

hmmm now this is weird! I have reinstalled it, but still the same problem persists
what version of the game are you running? mine says 1.0.4, and it's Dungeon Hunter 2 3D..
also, could you please share what rom you're using and if you are overclocked or something? ^^
thx for the input.. ohh, and it's on the internal SD allright, I haven't even installed an external one yet.. damn my bad luck

same version and on stock gb rom without any tweeks or kernel. just removed loads of crappy bloatware and useless apps and processes. forest is almost as smokth as inside areas. finished the whole damn thing without any lag problems
Hmmm, do you have Chainfire3D installed and enabled? If YES, disable it. This game does *not* require it.

hmmmm weirder still, as there should not be much bloatware in my mobile since it was bought unlocked and independently from any carrier..
could you give me a clue to what processes or apps you removed?
By the way, i haven't installed chainfire3d so that's not the issue either
I've contacted gameloft support and they said they would provide me a new link to re-download the game.. Though I'm a bit skeptical that it should solve my issues let's wait and see though...
i've isolated the problem to areas where any piece of tree canopy shows up on screen, like an overlay...
if the area has no canopy in sight, the game is smooth!
any other thoughts?
my Dungeon hunter 2 lags alot in 3D but is perfectly smooth 2D Mode.
I'm not sure about Samurai Vengeance 2, but pretty much every single game (Regardless of how simple it is) starts to lag while converted to 3d for me. (<24fps)
My One S glitches on all 2D games no matter if stock or rooted or with any combination of ROMs and kernels. I should have taken it back when I first noticed it with in the first couple days of owning it. Here are screens showing the glitching. I tried using Chainfire3D and different drivers hoping it would fix it to no avail. Do you think it down to bad hardware?

I thought Chainfire 3D required S-Off in HTC devices, otherwise it doesnt do anything. Have you noticed the glitches in any other apps besides games?

I tried Chainfire3d as a last effort. I thought it wouldn't work but hoped i would get lucky
It glitchse and flickers street names in GPS as well. Also, Flipboard flickers while flipping through stories. However, none of the benchmark apps display this behavior. Osmos, Where's My Water and Cut the Rope are the worst. I'm at a loss.
Current settings:
Trickdroid 6.1.0
Virtuous kernel v0.6
No tweaks no OC
Flashed back to Trickdroid 5.0 TMOUS and graphics have stabilized. Something in the updates does not agree with my phone . It still glitches but much less and games are at least playable. I'll keep the One S for now...:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.gamebooster&hl=en_GB
I know that the same changes can be achieved through other (free) means , but i was wondering if anyone tried it?.. i have a friend that swears it works.
Yeah I have it on my phone and I'm using it together with Ram Booster v1.25 (need to test it without the latter to see just how much that contributes). The result is I'm playing NOVA 3 in all it's full HD glory with very little lag. The game does run a 'tad' bit slower in general but because it's uniform throughout the game it just feels like it's the way it's meant to be played.
Really? Wow thats great to hear , i might buy it to see if its really worth it.
Have you tried using autokiller , ram manager or V6 supercharger though?
Looks interesting. Would love to see if there's a free alternative though.
Okay maybe its a placebo effect , but im getting playable framerates when i use it in combination with Ram Manager pro on hard gaming, playing The Amazing Spiderman . AFAIK Gamebooster also does something similar to RMP , but it seems to be less agressive .
I also have supercharger , but i only use it to lock my launcher , nothing else.
Hey Drivenby, been a long and busy day at the studio so haven't had an opportunity to get back to you till now. Haven't used autokiller , ram manager or V6 supercharger, will have a look at them. I am using Chainfire 3D Pro however to increase the graphical quality of some of my games (like NOVA 3), but you probably figured that already.
This all shuts down all the other apps and even prevents the them from trying to boot and regains system memory.
It has its own overcloked setting after ultra gaming mode but I then can normally be change it. I really recommend this app.

Tried it with Metal Slug 3 but got to the same bit as I usually get to before the phone starts lagging like hell (Was In Ultra Mode Aswell)
Yeah it really depends on what type of system you are running . The app does work for some games but its obviously not adding more ram or doing the developers job of optimizing a game for our specific GPU . Some games do seem to work better with Ram Manager Pro on hardgaming , rather than Gameboost.
And ultra doesnt really overclock , it just sets the governor to performance , as far as i can tell. The dev claims it lowers other processes too but i dont know how to check if thats true or not.
on my opinion , gamebooster is better that rambooster and ram manager, it decreased glitch on my phone , now it's easy to play BATMAN

I honestly doubt that an app can overclock my stock kernel so easily.
Besides , Rom manager shows 1024 and gover performance. Nothing about 1.2ghz
This app made some games that ran smooth blotchy when I set to hardcore. I have been running v6 for a long time so it may be fighting each other for control. Hard to say. Still thanks for sharing. Sure a lot of people will like this app while others maybe not so much
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
Yeah about v6, AFAIK it changes the oom kill values, which game booster does too, so there might be some conflict.
On my experience v6 is excellent to increase performance with the Android ui and multitasking, it makes everything really snappy but at a cost.
Let's say you have the regular stock launcher and have 3 o 4 widgets and a billion icons... If you have supercharge your launcher you might make it nearly impossible for the system to kill when needed.
I think that running most games, you should have no problem with this, but with the likes of recent game loft games that are known resource hogs, you really need everything the device has to offer, and while killing the launcher might make your device post game laggy for a couple of seconds, the whole point of the xperia play is to play games and if you can't do that well, it kinda defeats the purpose.
Right now I'm trying to keep the lightest configuration possible, while still getting everything I need and more.
Currently using lightning launcher, because it's fast, simple and runs with as little as 6 mb. Only one widget too. I guess I could try super charging it, but android has never killed it that I noticed, or maybe it just redraws super quickly.
Personally went back to ram manager pro, I think the ultra settings for game booster are not optimal for gaming or something, I swear I'm getting more ram but less performance, which doesn't really makes sense but whatever.
Also it has a couple of bugs that need to be ironed out. I'll check it again when the next version comes out.

Though I used to play lots of games, I have not had a chance to play them for awhile. I certainly did not buy tablet for the purpose of gaming but the other day I saw pretty stunning graphics and decent review about "Horn", so I ended up purchasing it.
Let's talk about some positive aspect of the Infinity, which is "gaming".
1. Tegra Zone
Tegra chips being the major line of Android Tablet, slowly but surely seem to see a growth of Tegra optimized games. Some of these are quite impressive in its graphics even compared to the portable gaming devices.
I only have one game from Tegra Zone, which is "Horn" but its quick and easy to play with stunning graphics. The other game I am looking forward to is Wild Blood, which uses Unreal Engine.
Hardware wise, other high end android tablets should have no issue supporting these games, but simply due to number of devices out there, I believe Tegra chip based device continues to see its exclusive support on high end tablet gaming.
2. Playstation Mobile Certified
The launch date has just been announced as 10/3 during Tokyo Game Show.
Though not specifically stated Infinity is one of the device included, ASUS is one of the company included in the playstation mobile certified device developer so it is natural to think Infinity be one of the device supported.
Personally, no big game at this point yet but certainly nice expansion to have.
Here is the list of games currently on market (presumably for Sony's Tablet S): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Mobile_games
The official list of new games with launch in Japan can be seen here: http://www.jp.playstation.com/psn/psm/
There will be around 30 games or so initially, and more to come with developer kit releasing in November to further stimulate the game development on Android devices.
Update:
9/24/2012
According to zenaxe, EA games are not compatible with Transformer Infinity. So if you intend to play their games, this would be minus point.
Considering that at current state I cannot play any game no longer than 5 minutes before crashing, I am not so keen about gaming on this tablet anymore.
Also it doesn't make any sense why some people can play and others don't. Before update also no problems with my gaming..

Well Square Enix has its own online store so not sure if they will continue to use it or jump onto the Playstation Mobile bandwagon. Though there is almost no doubt that they will continue support Android as supposedly FFIII alone made them $700,000 in first a few weeks just on Android platform.

Is there a specific game that you cannot play? I can give a try if its free to see if its an issue across the board.
So far I have no issue playing any of games I installed, which are not many a few Japanese specific games, FF III, and most recently Horn. I have never had any crash or force close on any of these games. But I have not made any build prop change other than market place change. I'm on stock rom .30 version with bloatware turned off.

Well the worst thing is that it is not consistant. I can get every game crash and yet if I reboot the machine than I can play every game.
Have had crashes with every single game I have played. But if I reboot and then start playing no problems. I dont think that high end tablet should work like this especially when the booting time is actually quite slow..
HoushaSen - would you mind trying Raging Thunder and Raging Thunder 2 - both are free in the store.
Maybe if they work on yours you can give me a little insight on making them work on mine.
Thanks!

Well I agree. What's tough here is probably depending on what you have installed in background etc. But either way, with high end tablet that should not matter.. I don't have much running in background. Bloatware turned off. Only real widget I have is news 360 and ASUS weather. Also, I have tons of video and ebooks, which I store in microsd rather than harddrive. So my harddrive still have tons of space open. You don't have build.prop tweak do you? Because I did that before and I had my first ever random os reboot afterwards. So this time I have not touched anything on build.prop. (Though it may had nothing to do with..)
One thing that your case raises concern is, is there any memory leak? (I don't know how Android OS deals with memory leak).

No build props or anything. Completely stock.
But yes i have quite a lot of widgets. It could be that they hog memory and result in bad user experience while gaming.
HD widgets, business calendar, gmail, email, youtube, zinio, g+, facebook, flighttrack and hanping chinese..
It could be that these reserve memory and then when playing games problems start. Nevertheless I have quite similar widgets on my phone and there no problems.
Maybe should try without widgets how it goes..

Maybe you have memory leak or memory hog. Also, one thing I really noticed performance difference is turning bloatware off. Afterall, Infinity only has 1GB RAM, which is still standard but not that much memory if you think about. But try with widget off, and potentially bloatware off and see if you can fix the issue. As I am sure it would be helpful to others.

LOL. GAMING is the only thing I'm completely UNSATISFIED with on the Infinity. Nearly every console style game I own crashes. Trying to demo it for someone is a freaking exercise in embarrassment. EA has even marked the 700 as incompatible on a lot of their stuff where it was compatible with previous TFs.
This is a systemic problem, btw, it is not a "bad" tablet. I have owned five TF series tablets and every single one of them has been exactly like this. So, really gaming is probably the last thing I would call out as a bright spot on the ASUS tabs.

Well I guess you are probably correct as majority of US user probably favors EA games over the PS games or Tegra games. I would admit that I play non of EA games, so I did not know. All I know is there were issue with playing Horn (Tegra optimized game) on Galaxy Note 10.1, which has better overall processing power and hardware.
Having said that, I know there are games I cannot play from Japanese store as simply not made for tablet and probably never will. So yes. you are correct on that regard. I will add EA incompatibility. Thanks for the info.
I tried to play horn but it always crashed immediately. Then pissed and rooted. Froze all bloatware and tadaa. Horn plays very well and not a single crash this far

Oh... You didn't have to root. You could turn off bloatware without rooting. But now since you have rooted, I recommend browser2ram.apk, which boosts browser performance somewhat. But I really think the most effective thing I did was turning off bloatware. Build.prop tweak is supposedly great too, but I haven't done it and performance is still what I wanted to be so I'd rather not touch anything extra.
But I'm glad, you got it work and Horn is cool game isn't it? (It was sort of my main theme for this thread...)
I shall take it back what I just said it crashed and now again won't even boot up. Just black screen. Probably reboot of tablet would resolve this but I don't think we should be doing that all the time

Sorry to hear that. If it worked fine for a while and crashed, it sound more and more like memory leak on one of your app. Any suspicious software? If so, how about turning it off and see if it makes difference?

So as part of my other thread, I actually did couple additional testing (mainly for I/O effect). I run 1.1GB file transfer over the AirDroid in background and launched Final Fantasy 3, which had no issue. In fact, I couldn't even tell the difference in launching speed and actual game play compared to no background.
On the contrary, launching of Horn took much longer and I saw ANR, which I have not seen for a while on my infinity. So basically, I hypothesize here that some of your application in background may have high I/O access or you have memory leak in your application. The latter is not proven here.
But in any event, even on my machine which generally runs Horn totally fine can become problematic when you have stress in a background so definitely I think something in your background is the issue, which you may well know already but just wanted to let you know that I can sort of confirm this.

Here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...5-fix-browser-not-responding-browser2ram.html
But remember this only works if you root the system and have superuser access. If you feel like your browser is running fine, you may not even need this. I do feel like I got performance boost on stock browser, but other browser's like Boat browser seems pretty much the same (relatively fast before and still equally fast).

Just a heads up that browser 2 ram will not have any impact on gaming, it could even theoretically have a negative impact on it if it fragments memory or causes less to be available for other process somehow... but it should help www browsing that is limited by eMMC I/O. I do not have many issues with browsing performance so I don't find b2ram to be very useful personally..
On the other hand, bloatware removal could theoretically help with games since it might reduce memory fragmentation over time by reducing the number of apps and services running (I have done this but it hasn't had a measurable impact for me).
Also, be aware that build.prop tweaks do have a non-zero risk associated with them. I have soft bricked a TF before with a bad build.prop edit. Make sure you have a working adb/fastboot setup at the very least before doing a build.prop hack.
Something easy to try that might really work: Get FMR memory cleaner from the market. Run it before running your game. Also, if it is crashing right at startup try clearing its cache/data (you will lose any save games/data, if you do this, though).

May be you can answer. What's the IO issue that you are facing right now? As I write more about this, and test... I am start getting a bit lost. Because when I had original two units back in July and August, I got constant ANR with browser, PDF file reading. System almost froze while I download applications from market.
I have stock with browser2ram, bloatware turned off, but no build.prop tweaks, and essentially don't see any of above anymore. The game I cannot play is simply I cannot. It's just not supported on this device. But games that runs, runs smoothly like Horn, which is probably one of the most high end graphics game right now until Unreal Engine 3 game released.
As far as your theory of eMMC affecting browser is something I am not so certain. Simply because if that is the case why would some browsers works much faster such as Firefox (which crashes too often so I don't use) but fast. Boat browser, which is stable and fast. Sure they are not as fast as Galaxy Note 10.1 stock browser, but in galaxy note 10.1, I didn't even noticed much difference in speed between the stock and other third party browsers. Sure sunspider test results were different but practical loading page speed, I couldn't tell the difference so I kept using stock on Note. Could this have been because better eMMC? I have a feeling not. Again because if that's the case all third party browser should be even much faster on that device. Would it be because of 2GB ram? Don't know. Could be but browser application demanding such huge RAM seem a bit too excessive. So my guess is actually Samsung's software. The touch wiz is highly customized on their platform like stock video player, stock browser can support multitask. So Samsung definitely went into source code level of those application and edited. So during that process, they may have optimized the browser. How can I confirm this? Probably no way unless I can talk to Samsung Developer, but it's probably same as the logic of blaming on eMMC.
Any tools to check which applications use I/O in the background?

Hello,
Im a user of SG II+ from just a month.
The problem that I have is after buying and installing "Sine Mora" for example, the GPU start to produce artifacts and you can't see the graphics at all. I know that SG II+ GPU is not that good but is it just me or you also have gaming issues with the new games?
It's not just "Sine Mora": Lone Ranger for example can't be played too.
To be said, the phone is not rooted or customized yet because of it's warranty. So I'm using stock 4.1.2.
Any ideas?

Well people are running Asphalt 8 : Airbrone without any jerk or lag or poor performance and it almost runs all the game successfully. The GPU in S2+ is really good and performs well. We all have/had phones with warranty but still rooted it. You can get your warranty status back if you go through the forums. I haven't tried out these 2 games you mentioned. I'll download them today and try and revert back to you

I'm starting to think that mabye my GPU is defective...
EDIT: Just bought NFS Most Wanted. Works like a charm. Graphics are perfect, no lag, no freezing, no artifacts. To be honest Sine Mora was downloaded cracked. Maybe that's the problem. When I get my salary I'll buy it from market and hope it will work fine.
Well yes Cracked app could be the problem. Or maybe 4.1.2.
For Instance Modern Combat 4 had a bug that the gun was invisible. After updating to 4.2.2 the gun is back

I have no idea why it says that ..
I tried on 4.2.2 Non NFC. It works like a charm. And at the very first attempt. Its around 2.5GB.
