Hello,
I am wondering if anyone else is having some major game performance issues. I specifically play Order and Chaos 2 on the phone and the game has some ridiculous lag. Want to know if this is caused by this phone or if its another problem. I have tried Samsung Game Tuner, which does nothing btw and have looked around and have no resolution. Any help is appreciated
sucks compare with note 5, im using snapdragon 820 version

I know it does, its ridiculous how bad the lag is on this phone. I don't know if its the phone, the game, or what! Its starting to drive me nuts...
I'm using Exynos version and I've never had any bug in game. Actually I never had any bug at all, it's really impressive
I use to play games like Real Racing 3, Walking War Robots, Warhammer 40000 : Freeblade, and not only there isn't any bug, but the phone never get warm.
Abysmal performance drops in summoners war after a few minutes. The phone stays cool though.
Exynos Version. Even my LG G4 was faster after 15 min of playing.
Samsung should get rid of those game tools because noone need them and it only causes problems...

Maybe its the snapdragon version?
I'm thinking it's the 2k resolution. Download Samsung's game tuner from the play store, make a manual mode and limit games to 50% resolution (1080p) and keep fps to 60.
Worst performance i ever seen right after G4, that due to stupid things they did in 6.0.1 it affect all devices, i had Note 5 and it had same issue with 6.0.1 but with 5.1.1 games worked perfect.
Now not all games effected, but Angry birds 2 on higher level 100+ and tekken 6 works POOR on S7, while it worked PERFECT on Note 5 with 5.1.1, but on 6.0.1 on both devices gaming performance left in the sink.

Wow really? I have played +3h in the same session and never had a problems with anything, also, battery just droped like 30%, I'm so f*cking impressed with performance, but SW is not a high-demand game anyways
Gaming performance sucks on Exynos too. My Mate 8 is way smoother when gaming.
ye S7 has the worst gaming performance in years, even worse then G4, if u rooted u can at least put performance governor and that should help, at cost of battery.
They did something in 6.0.1 that cause it, since mine Note 5 was light years faster than S7 in gaming on 5.1.1, but with 6.0.1 it lags so hard... i hope sammy will fix it but i know they won't.

the video shows some hipcups that doesnt exsist in reality !
awful here is mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhhS9eA6rCk
As someone that games a lot, that annoys me beyond relief, it was the reason i sold my G4 and got Note 5 year ago, now it seems i need to do it again, once there is a real competitor to s7e.
I have the exynos version and while I'm playing nfs no limits it's like playing a game in a slow motion. The fps is low in a certain point, especially while it's raining. It might get higher fps inside a tunnel or an area that doesn't require too much high quality graphics

Guys, that's not normal at all. I own the exynos version and my gaming performance are awesome, 60FPS everywhere.
Maybe these games are not optimized, or maybe your phone has problems, you should do something (factory reset or warranty)

There is a problem and everyone effected, bear in mind not all games are effected but the problem is there.
I did a big more digging and found out that DVFS causes a lot of it, however while disabling it can cure this almost 100%, the phone will work very slow, same behavior i saw on mine Note 5 when disabling dvfs.
Samsung need to fix it really, G5 HTC10 Note 5 all previous phones play those games MILES above S7.

I have the same behavior here with NFS No Limits. Using the Exyno version of the S7 Edge. Is just impossible to play the game.
S7 Edge is a lot worst then my previous LG G4 to play NFS.
Guys if we stay on XDA sammy won't notice it, we need to spam the twitter with videos that prove it and be vocal, otherwise it will effect Note 6 and others phone, which is shame since GS7E is the best phone atm.
here is a video with DVFS disabled, MUCH BETTER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t-sMWSpUBU&feature=youtu.be
But disabling DVFS cause the phone to lag pretty bad in simple tasks, aka Samsung need to tweak DVFS for gaming.

Have you tried disabling the game service? A lot of people have reported it causes lag and overly vivid colours.

Hi, with that wonderful 4K HDR screen I would certainly not miss out on the VR. It seems that now LCD can show very low latency, so it could be as compatible as OLED.
Anyway if it might not meet the Google's exact requirements, would it have a way to still enable Daydream by a root or something?
Thanks for your help!

I actually want to know this as well. I think I read that even if the phone could get setup for daydream, overheating could be an issue. In any case, a professional input would be nice.
I also want to know.

The LCD screen of the XZ Premium unfortunately doesn't have the minimum requirements of the response time, so DayDream doesn't work, but there's another way to get VR support on the XZP, it is called Trinus VR, works with CardBoard and other lenses, Trinus let you play all the Steam VR and NON-VR games that you have on your PC on your phone (in this case the XZ Premium), this is the only way to get contents in VR for the XZ Premium.

I have installed the Daydream APK on the XZ Premium + the Controller Emulator on my old Xperia Z5, it shows the Bluetooth Emulated Controller as connected, but it doesn't get detected by the Daydream Application. If anyone makes progress on that, feel free to respond.
To anybody who's done this, How was the experience?? Do you suggest buying this phone for VR use?
Thanks.
Good Luck
The Xperia XZ Premium Does Not Support Daydream. But guess what! You don't need Daydream anyway. It's just a managing Application to access VR content. It's in no way a protocol necessary to process VR whatsoever. You don't even need google Cardboard. (don't even bother install it).
The XZP is the Best phone to experience VR, period. That 4K Display works, and It makes a real difference. Way better than the GearVR on the Note 7.
About the LCD display, the latency is a myth. There's no such thing as "LCD display is not responsive enough", etc... Maybe on the Z5 Premium there was some issue because the phone itself was not responsive enough. But the Snapdragon 835 too care of that for the XZP.
This said, yes, of course Amoled is more responsive. But that doesn't mean that "LCD is not responsive enough". At the processing level of the snapdragon 835, you won't notice any differences. But what you will definitely notice is that LCD has way more brightness and image quality to offer. LCD is not taboo for VR. The reason why Daydream is not available on the XZP is because of Sony's poor marketing strategy, lack of collaboration skills with other firms.
To give you an example to support this claim, here's a link to the Pimax 8K upcoming VR Headset, which itself uses LCD Display for VR:
https://www.roadtovr.com/hands-pimaxs-8k-headset-proves-high-fov-vr-coming/
---------------------- BUT
Before rushing to a store to get that XZP, you must first decide why do you want VR for:
- If you want to watch 360/180 videos and 3D movies on a big screen and maybe try some VR games available on the Playstore, then don't stop. Keep running fast!
- But if you focus way more on games and don't care much about videos, then there's the issue that you won't find any VR games that supports 4K. And if you use the ADB modification on your phone to make it display 4K all the time, then you may run into some "heating" problems. And even then, games may crash and not work properly. So don't go buy the XZP for 4K VR gaming. That won't happen. (Right now your only option for that is the Pimax 4K which requires a high end pc. Even the occulus, PSVR or HTC Vive can't offer 4k gaming). But if you're ok with 2k gaming available on the Playstore, then the XZP will play those without problems.
And finally, if for you a wider library of VR Games is too important, then you'd be better with a Samsung phone because of their Occulus app. Occulus has a very strong game library for the GearVR. And even more will come since the GearVR is by far the most successful VR headset.
-------- Conclusion:
1. Forget about Daydream. You don't need it.
2. The XZP's 4K Display offers the best VR experience available.
3. The XZP IS the phone to get to watch VR movies and videos.
4. The XZP will play any VR games available on the Google playstore at 2K resolution.
5. If you want a VR experience focused just on games and want a wider VR games library, you'll be better off with a high end Samsung phone.

I still want to be able to use it though. There are some apps that are limited to it. I tried side loading Netflix VR but I can't control it without Daydream. What really irks me is that it works in the background but I can't use it because of the annoying pop up.
To be honest, I don't care if the experience is not "ideal", I'd at least like the option to judge for myself.
I guess I'll just have to wait for root and Magisk. Even then, we'll be stuck playing mouse and cat with Google if we want to keep Android Pay.

Well, I can tell you one thing, the worst case scenario is that the experience is exactly the same as in any other phones. The XZ premium plays any game available for cardboard "AT LEAST" as good as the Gear VR. And this is from someone who had to give his Note 7 back!
This said, there's an app called "Groovr", (a music visualization app) which is awesome, but it's only available for Occulus or Daydream. There are no cardboard options for it. Meaning that yes, some titles will not be available to you without Occulus or Daydream. Only a root can fix that.
What I find shameful is that those libraries are locked under false pretends. Google claiming that a display has to be Amoled for VR while an LCD 4K Display brings by far the best VR experience, is outrageous.
Steam tried to do a similar thing when they backed up HTC Vive and the Occulus Rift wasn't truly supported. They had to fix that later fearing a lawsuit from Facebook. That's the problem with companies and their formats / platform wars. In the end it's always the Customers who is confused.
2 weeks ago I decided to try the Razer phone. I enjoy playing games on PC with a high refresh rate monitor, so I thought I would also enjoy the 120hz display on the Razer phone, and it turns out that I love the 120hz display, even though I don't play games on my phone. I do however read a lot of news feeds, which look fantastic on this display. A couple of days ago, I tried to go back to my Galaxy s9+ for the HD voice, headphone jack, and the great AMOLED display, but I couldn't use it for more than a few minutes. The Razer phone has ruined for me, every other phone on the market. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to a 60hz display. Does anyone else feel the same, or have you been able to go back to a normal phone?
I hate the Razer Phone because now I can never go back to a flagship with a 60hz display, and I really wanted to try Pixel 3 when it comes out. Now I know that even if the Pixel 3 has the best camera, the best software experience and whatever else it might have, I don't think I'll be able to use it because it won't have at least a 90hz display.
I feel the same. Any other phone feels plebby and with an useless refresh rate.
120hz Master Race
I switch from 120hz to 60hz from time to time to remind me how bad 60hz is on a phone now lol.
Sorry to hijack your thread I've been interested in the Razerphone since it's release, How are they with updates and kernel source on time or am I hoping for too much?

Ugh that's annoying to hear I guess I'll wait for the 2nd gen and see how it goes, Glad they're pushing sources with OTA's at least can build a kernel for it. Thanks
I'm exactly the same, every other phone looks laggy compared... I will not be able to change my phone unless it also has a high refresh rate screen. It's the same with PC gaming though, going back to 60Hz is just awful and I have no idea how I used to do it
Same as me this phone has destroyed every other device with a 60hz refresh rate. Typing this in chrome on my iPod and the scrolling is unbearable now.
While i got mine as soon as it came out i didn't have any issues... until last week i went on a family trip and couldn't see **** on the screen because of the low brightness and LCD panel, while i love the front facing speakers, the finger print sensor location and the 120hz, i will probably get the ROG phone because of the OLED screen @ 90hz and the Front Facing Speakers, i really doubt The Razer Phone 2 will fix this issue.
Honestly i agree. The 120hz display is just another world in mobile usage or mobile gaming.
I haven't found much on here about the BLU VIVO xi+, so I thought I’d start a discussion thread about it.
The BLU VIVO xi+
Basic specs from BLU's site:
MediaTek helio P60
2.0 GHz Octo-core
Gorilla Glass 3
19:9 Aspect ratio
1080x2246 resolution
128 GB storage
6GB RAM
Micro SD up to 128GB
Dual Cameras 16 mp + 5 mp
16 mp selfie cam
Face and Finger unlock
3050 mAh battery
Wireless Charging
Android 8.1 Oreo
Dual SIM US, Carriers
I love this phone. It's my first venture into the non carrier locked, non pay as you go phone. After spending nearly a week with it, I can honestly say I've have never had a better phone. Yes, I've owned some very crappy phones by comparison, so we'll get the disparaging remarks out of the way. I've read the reviews and people's negative comments, but I've also seen some very positive reviews and positive user reviews on YouTube. Those reviews and a promotional email from Amazon helped me pull the trigger on this phone.
I'll post again as I gain more experience with this phone.
BTW I checked for updates the day I got it and a 500+ MB file downloaded and installed. I kind of wish I had waited, it'd be nice to know what issues might have been fixed
Seems like a nice phone. I've been thinking hard about getting a couple of these for me and the wife. But, I've got a couple concerns/questions.
Can the bootloader be unlocked? Is this even going to help, I don't expect development to be a huge scene on this phone.
Is the screens scaling really as bad as the reviews seem? The icons on the launcher are huge!! As well as most other display elements.
Does it freeze-up? Seen one video on YouTube where it just freezes up and does nothing. Went on to say he's seen several others with this problem, I can't find anything.
Besides these above points it seems like an awesome device Blu support notwithstanding. Thanks in advance for reading. Hope you enjoy your device!

I don't know about any scaling issues. I have no problems with it. You can always download a different launcher.

Mine does not freeze up.

I'm happy with my purchase. I paid 300 at best buy. I'm using with att. It's runs smoothly in day to day operations including gaming. Wireless charging, facial recognition, 6.2 hd + screen, and fast charging is what sold me. No NFC though.
worth every penny.....,have not found anything on projects on XI+ yet
I also have the 64GB from Best Buy. I havent had any real issues with the XI+, just remember to reboot every other day. It runs really smooth and quick. I saw the video on youtube about the glich and thats about the only negivative i have seen. Lets look it at this......
$300-350 phone v.s. $900-1000 phone
Vivo XI+ stayed up with the Samsung S9 loading and use of the same apps.
i have 130 different personal apps on this phone. From browsers to art pads to launchers to photo editors to TerrariumTV. NO GLICHING. But with all of that the battery could have been a lil stronger but it has a quick charging system and all of that going it still last bout 10 hrs!
You can also make it faster by unlocking developer options and adjusting the 3 animation settings to 0.5x.

I think the general consensus for updates from Blu is that probably not. Im ok with that. It's a budget phone that will hold you down until you are ready for a flagship phone
BLU has already pushed one update to the phone.
I'm really enjoying the phone. I recently purchased it and had a question.
I've noticed some of the video/images were a little grainy. Not the ones I shot myself but watching Netflix and other streaming services. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, is there anything I can do to help it?

I installed Open Camera, because I like it and have used it for a while now, but it does seem to do a better job at taking pics than the default camera that comes with the phone.

I would try a complete reset and see if the problem returns. If it does return you got a defective unit and should bring it back to the store and get your money back.

no chance anyone captured this update on a pc? Bootloader can be unlocked with Fastboot oem unlock after ticking the switch in dev options, if we had a copy of the boot.img and recovery.img from an update we would be cooking with Magisk and TWRP fairly quickly!
How would one go about capturing it on a PC?
Did that update download to your phone? There has to be a way to get the zip unto pc and then we can root.
Yes, downloaded to the phone.
I know this has been done with other phones. Manufacturers are software capping these panels and hoping they don't eat into their more pricey devices (ie pixel 6/ 6 pro) by performing these anti-consumer practices. It would be grealyt appreciated if we can get higher than pathetic 60hz in 2022.
"pathetic" 60hz is good enough for 85% of people who would by this phone.

Only thing is I think more like 95%. Anyone concerned that much wouldn't buy the phone. But a 6.1" device... ahh heaven. Never again will I get anything larger.
usually the way refresh rate is done on devices is hardware. Its not like your computer monitor where you can overclock it. There are hardware limits.
Nothing google has done on the 6a is "anti-consumer" because the screen won't go over 60hz...
You can't make a 60Hz screen run at 90Hz, but you can make a 90Hz screen run at 60Hz to save battery life.
Odds are Google put a 60Hz screen in the phone to cut down on the overall cost. If they put in a 90 Hz screen, they would have marketed it as such because more people would be attracted to the phone with that feature.

Exactly. "Overclocking" a display panel is difficult at best, impossible at worst. If you want a 90Hz screen, buy a Pixel 6. Don't buy a mid range device and expect premium features.
Hmmm????
Google Pixel 6a display was turned into operating at 90Hz

There would be two reasons to throttle the refresh rate; Battery Life and Thermal issues.
120Hz would be insane but I'd gladly take 90Hz...
In case some of u haven't heard...
Ongoing Pixel 6a 90Hz display testing shows better success
The Pixel 6a 90Hz mod still isn't public, but you've got more reasons to be optimistic about it now
www.androidpolice.com
It may take some but this moder is known for boosting refresh rates.
He also said the 6a panel is made by Samsung and is capable 120Hz refresh rates. The story mentions...
"The current solution also requires manually flashing an image to one of the system partitions, which means unlocking your bootloader, breaking SafetyNet, etc., so it could be too big of a pain for most of our readers to attempt."
Oh my!! You mean that shady and back-breaking act of unlocking, rooting and breaking SaftyNet...which can be fixed with a simple Magisk mod!? It's easy to see that AP knows who 'butters it's bread' with tons of advertising...

Three. Keep the distance to the Pixel 6.
I have only turned my pixel 5 to 90hz maybe a dozen times since owning since release day. I turn it on to play once 6a came out and honestly, 60hz is fine, but everyone different.
I'd just wait for the Pixel 7 if 90hz is a huge issue. Or get a P5 or P5a or P6
Many a good Pixel to choose from.

Don't do it.. You might set your apartment on fire..
Looks like the cry babies got their wish of 90hz. I almost wish you hadn't. Its such a dumb thing to complain so heavily about.
Even if it did support 90hz out of the box, 3 of my spare phones support up to 120, and i run them at 60. anything above 60 on such a small screen just personally makes me dizzy.
Hope most of you realize its more than likely a dangerous overclocking game that will wear out the display far more quickly.
Most people don't have dizzy issues tho. You prefer 60...that's just fine, but don't rag on other for wanting the best experience possible...esp from a mid-ranger with a flagship processor! Smh...

its the way they complained. Idc what people do or don't enjoy... I'm ragging on it because of the way they IMMEDIATELY complained about a BUDGET DEVICE not having a high end device feature, and demanding hackers/modders find a way to do it. And its definitely not equal to a flagship processor.
The Tensor is the same as in the Pixel 6 Pro...a flagship device.
I agree tho...there were 2 separate threads started, like right off the bat, that shoulda been combined imo and yeah it was annoying...
Being a root/mod user and a PC builder on a budget, I guess I am a bit partial... I'm always tryin' to squeeze the BBB outta everything I build/buy. (oh, BBB=Best Bang for the Buck)
With a PC it's easy, if u want better gfx, you buy a better gfx card. If you want faster load times, you get a faster chipset...and so on.
But with a phone you're stuck. U have to buy smart and choose well. For me, the 6a is the best (phone) buy/upgrade I've ever made, coming from a P4a even.

Sigh.... Yes I'm correct. A bunch of fools in this thread. I've overclocked countless TV and monitors past their advertised refresh rate.
I hope 90Hz will be released in future hentaiOS build. Best solution would be to have it as Magisk module or custom kernel though
any news about this ?
