[Q] Tegra Graphic Issues in Apps?

I've been seeing some issues regarding how some application's graphical elements are being drawn/rendered. Several apps I have either have graphics missing, drawn incorrectly, or the app bogs down animating them . Two examples I have are GPS Test and GPS Status.

did u change density ?

No. I have access to two other 2GXs and the issue is same for them too.

Beautiful Widget and Fancy Widget don't display clock/weather skins right for mine.

Some Examples
Here are some examples from GPS Status and GPS Test. If anyone has theses apps, are you experiencing the same? I'm guessing it's just the how the apps are coded and not the system.

You might try this out? Not sure if it will do anything for your issues.
Also, are you stock or running a ROM. If you are stock you might try out a ROM. I use the Bionix2 ROM and haven't seen any issues in any of the apps I run. It may be that I just haven't run into it. The difference from 2.2 to 2.3 might change things up a bit.

I've been running Eaglesblood v1.04FR ROM. I've also tested this issue on...
Latest CM7 nightly ROM
Stock ROM
Still the same on all of them. My brother's G2X has the same issue. I'm trying to get a hold of another unit to see if it shows up there as well.

When I run GPS Test it looks normal. I have not noticed anything different with the graphics in any of my games either. What games do you notice this in. If there free, I will download them and see if I notice anything.

Both of them display fine for me and as far as I can tell, a lot of other people to. I see a bunch of people using both of these widgets under the "Post your homescreen" thread.

It's The GPS Firmware

I got another G2X (3 now) in front of me and just tested it as having the same issue. All the games I have are just fine.
Well, there seems to be an issue with the GPS firmware and how it reports invalid (too big) SNR values. It messes up how the graphics or text is displayed. We need a new baseband.

[Q] Tablet super laggy and slow already...and it's pretty new

Hey guys,
My gTab is only about 2months old and it's already behaving like old equipment. the boot time is more than a minute. Many applications take a good ten seconds to load. The new Google+ FCs each time I tap the message or places button. The Dolphin browser takes forever to load.
I'm running CM 7.0.3 with pershoot's .32 kernel to fix the WiFi issues. Any suggestions as to how I can get the lag out of this beast and whip it to shape?

Ginger behaves like this, especially cm7.

Do you have widgets running? I had a weather widget once that made my tablet run laggy. As soon as I took it off pow!!! Back to normal

Well, yes. I have WeatherBug running, along with a few others. Also, my Google+ repeatably crashes each time I try to tap on the pencil icon to enter a status message. Is this known? Also, does any1 recommend upping to the 7.1 CM?

I'm considering heading back to Froyo for full speed.

I just found that using my fake location make G+ work. It's a location issue.

As I mentioned before, I think going back to Froyo is the only way to get good performance. I just tried the Brilliant Corners Froyo-based rom. Since Vegantab 5.1.1 is pretty much done with (no one is supporting it or issuing updates), this seems the best option if I wanted something more mainstream with proper driver support.
I'll be honest, there's stuff I miss from CM7 (particularly the Gingerbread Bluetooth stack and flawless netflix), but as a whole the device seems much snappier.
It was a bit of a headache changing bootloaders to 1.2, but it looks like a lot of more interesting developments are happening on that side of the loaders now anyway.

Can you point me in the direction to get this new ROM? I'm not interested in BlueTooth or Netflix on the device.

Some 'construction-type' or resource gathering games are persistent after you exit them (Bug Village, Paradise Islang, Gangsta) so the game can can give you an update while you aren't playing. I've found that killing those apps really helps performance and doesn't affect game play when you launch again. I've also seen an increase after killing some weather apps, but others don't seem to affect performance at all.

GTA 3 For Xperia Play On Android Market

Yes, GTA 3 is available for Are Xperia Play, it seems it got added to the release list right at the last second, you can download is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3.
Edit - There has been a few cases that version 1.1 will not boot correctly on the Xperia play so if you have it on your play dont update till it gets fixed.
Answer to most question's
- Was it in the list release? - Yes, it was added day 1.
- Does it support Xperia Controls - Yes
- Any Control Problems - All controls work fine most of the time but some controls can be strange and hard to figure out. Hopefully an update fixes this.
- How does the Game Play - the game runs good at almost all times, from time to time i do see some random slow down but 95% time it's fine
- Issues and Bugs - Draw Radius can mess up, Random slow down time to time, Control issues & Crashing with v1.1.

Some of the reviews say it works with Xperia Play controls. Wonder if touchpads are included?
It won't let me download it on my CM7 Rom. Haha. Any way around this and force it?

I will download it and try it out
over 400mb.....
wow

It works and performance isn't bad. It does slow down here and there and overall frame rate seems about the same or maybe slightly better than the original PS2 version.
I haven't played it for very long though and haven't really stressed it out much.
All controls work including touchpads but they are not optimised. you can't auto aim or lock onto an enemy so shooting/hitting someone can be tricky.
Also, it seems to use less battery than FPSE and FIFA12.

Majority of the Controls arent working for me , I have an R800i, for some reason when I hop into a car its stuck on turning left, but walking and running is grand. Dpad works on the slide out controls , no analog functionality and the only action button that works is O and that just takes me to the menu.
Other than that though game loads and works fine, the touch screen controls all work.

Followed the link and it shows:

Any reason why that should be? Looks like other Xperia owners are getting it just fine.

It's letting me download on my Xperia PLAY R800a... I'll tell ya how it works shortly (maybe even make a video)

Custom ROM? I am on CM7, and it's not letting me download it.

I miss this game.. I'll wait for TLR's video..

downloading on r800i rooted stock rom ill give my feedback when its done.

Well, thx doom for powering my device up to 1.6 ghz. Now it goes flawlessy. Fairly bad that there is no TP support. Okay tbh the right does something: i guess it switches to first person. Awkward though.
Sent from my toilet.

Actually works on my Xperia play R800i, Pretty cool.

apparently is not available for South America because the market says it is not compatible with my device.

"This app is compatible with your Xperia Play."
There's some lag spikes, adn some of the controls are broken, can't use the slider(analog) thing, for example I can't look right or left inside the car. Sometimes it won't react to anything.

IT WORKS!! (r800x stock verizon rom)
The game doesn't show up in the launcher, but it does use Xperia Play's controls. D-pad for movement and steering, the left touchpad changes radio stations or weapons, right trigger is sprint our accelerate, left trigger is jump our brake, triangle is e-brake, circle is enter/exit vehicle. Swiping across the screen is needed for camera control, where as the right touchpad does nothing (as far as I know).
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way of reassigning the hardware button configurations at this time, but it's useable. I hope that gets patched along with the lack of inclusion in the Play launcher.
The game runs great, even on my stock Verizon kernal and rom! It runs with very little slow down, and doesn't impact the game whatsoever. I imagine an overclocked Play would be buttery smooth, but this doesn't affect my enjoyment at all.

Just finished playing a couple of missions and it runs well. Some of the creature features that you may be used to like changing to the radio station of choice maybe missing. The analogs do not work but all the other buttons do. I would love to see this with full Xperia support but still playable up to this point.
Edit: aaaaahhhh ****! Swipe the radio station to change it. Game FM is the business. Sean P!

My xperia also says not compatible r800i 2.3.4 rooted locked bootloader
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

I wonder if it is looking at 2.3.4 on your device and 2.3.7 on my device and refusing to be compatible?

...and we have vidja!! ... I even wrote an impression article for you all!
(Impressions) Grand Theft Auto III released on Android… with unannounced Xperia PLAY Optimization?!

Why have we got three threads all about this? Getting annoying trying to keep up and confirm that it does work with the controller but not the touchpads

[Q] Real Racing 3

Hi,
I tested RR3 on TF101 with CM10.1 but that's lag a lot.
Is it possible to explain how to configure CM10 to avoid this lags ?
Thanks

I haven't used CM10, but if you can overclock try that first. Check my sig for a free app to do it.

You can overclock natively in CM10, it's in performance settings, no app needed.

Comments on Play store say the last updated caused the lag, I have it on EOS4 too

The update is causing lag.
Hope it clears your doubt.

I been playing RR3 on my modded stock rom tf101 and it didn't lag at all...ran perfect along with NFS most wanted...idk but seems to me that these roms y'all have seems to help smoothness and newness of your tf101 but if nothing is wrong then no need to fix or use different ROMs causing your tab to think differently and run harder...but that's just my opinion on this tab as I'm a heavy customizer on other phones...try the touch booster
sent accidentally from my gangsta ASUS Transformer

I am not having issues play RR3 with my TF rooted running only the stock ROM. It would be cool if the mirrors worked though.

Thanks for the info.
Other question : The o/c to 1500 mhz changes something in the game ?
Chainfire works with cm10 ?
Is it something to change in the configuration of cm10 ?
Thanks for your replies :good:

I upgraded but it's always lagging.
Any solutions ? Other games works smoothly (wildbloods, nfs, ...)

I know I am a noob. (I watched the video)
I rooted my tf101 yesterday (CM10.1 nightlies ROM) and now I was trying to install RR3.
The problem that I have is that I cannot install this game.
Device is not compatible.
I know I am doing something wrong and I searched this forum.
Can someone send me in the right direction?

Could be a vareity of things, like Build.prop, screen dpi, or market region.

Theres a real racing 3 config app on the play store that lets you choose graphics presets, lags on my tf300 too but if i put it on low-high preset it runs fine.

I downloaded the APK over on the Nexus 7 forum & that was a post at the beginning of the month. I don't know if there is an updated version or not. If there is I would like to try it. There is a MOD to the graphics setting to make the mirrors work. I did try it & the game was almost unplayable. I reverted back to the original setting. I am rooted but completely stock & the game is really smooth with the normal settings.

Can you post a screen shot of what it looks like running on the Play?

Of corse i can^^ But on which settings? On low high or medium?

I tested the game. I have an Xperia Play R800i with stock ROM, Gingerbread (?), no root, no overclock.
Game seems to run fine, at the beginning it defaults to 'High' settings.
It seems to be a first person shooter, but I really only tried the very beginning,just a few seconds to move my character (that is, a "pair of hands") around. The movement was kinda slow, but as I say it was just the start.
Shame it does not support hardware buttons, but maybe later?
As a side note, what kind of a stupid name is Dead Effect? Let's take two known franchises (Dead Space and Fear Effect) and mash them together, what do we get - a Dead Effect. LOL. But it might just be my impression, never mind that.
One more thing, there does not seem to be any other way how to exit the game, but only by pressing the HOME button on your device. Which, as far as I know, leaves the game running in the background. I hate when games do that.
