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?
Recently I purchased Motorol Atrix2 Phone in India. I am facing some problems...:crying:
1.) While playing Racing Moto game(downloaded from android market) suddenly touch response goes(hlding touch on the screen to increase bike speed) so the bike speed goes down from 120 kmph to 70. After that it will work fora while and again slows down.
2.) Some times touch is not working, this is noticed while playing Temple Run game.
3.) As many people discussed in this forum, network disconnection issue exists.
4.) While playing many of the games/applications, applications hangs(application, not phone) for a while(around 20 sec) and starts working after that. This issue is observed in most of the apps.
When I contatced customer care, they told to do factory reset. After factory reset also, same issues exists.
Does any body noticied similar kind of issues? or my phone is defective one?.
Thanks,
Murali

I admit that this is a very strange problem that none of us are facing. In few days you will get ICS update which might fix the problem. If you are daring enough, then you can install the ICS leak on your own and check whether the problem persists or not.

Yeah, I have played it lots of time. No problem
Make Sure you do not have non market apps and Hacked apps installed on your phone.
Check the SD card (if games are running from card), you might wanna format the card and reload things, since this is a gaming issue only.
i faced a similar problem with some EA games, then i bought a 16GB grade 10 card and now every games work smooth.
I hope you do not have any screen guard installed.
If all fails, Buy Galaxy S 3 :laugh:

No non market apps are installed, these games are installed in phone memory only(as you know 4GB internal memory is available for apps in Atrix 2).
I added screen guard to the phone screen. If it is the problem with screen guard always it should not work right?.
I played with company given normal screen cover, that time also faced same issue...
I had exactly the same issues with stock 2.3.6 but ever since upgaraded to ICS leak no such problems. Stock rom is no good so better upgrade or wait and upgrade OTA.

You will lose your warranty..but you can always flash back to stock before taking it to service centre..n besides motorola service centres in india are so bad that its better to avoid them as far as possible..my experience

Will not be an issue unless you know basic stuff on flashing. I had my atrix 2 sent to mororola for replacement under warranty and I was using 4.0.4 leak on it. Ensure you get it flashed back to 2.3.6 while sending it to service center.
Battery problem
I recently bought atrix 2 and found that it shows battery in the intervals of 10% so i installed battery solo widget and also circle battery widget which indicates 1% battery discharging. But whenever i unplug the charger after it is displayed 100 in the widget, the widget shows 99 as soon as i unplug the charger.. Is there a problem in my battery???
Facing same issues on my atrix 2 recently purchased
I am also facing the same issue while playing Racing Moto game. Also the touch hangs sometimes while dialing.
Letme know if you found any solutions.
Hi guys,
Just wondering about anyone's experience with playing Minecraft on this device (latest paid version). I keep experiencing freezing problems every few minutes of game time. Its really frustrating.
Did anyone experience a similar thing? If so, were you able to resolve it?
Thanks!
i would have guess it might be the same issue as playing on a PC platform?
Minecraft do use a lot of resource for some reason
think it's just java....
maybe try to find a hacked version or something?
one of those "green" version or what ever they call it

My guess its down to the actual Developer not properly optimizing their Code. I haven't tried playing Minecraft on my P1000 yet. But, I can tell you that Gameloft's My Little Pony Game just plain sucks on the P1000. To the point of being unplayable! Horrible horrible lag, and application freeze / wait / ok (quit) Screens.
Now contrast this to say with Real Racing (a Game that's currently listed as "incompatible" on our P1000's), it runs IMHO just fine. Perhaps not as fine as a Quad-Core 2012/13 Machine can. But, it CAN run it. Same again with Temple Run. The Game just works to my Eye, although every once and, awhile it to "jumps" due to something lagging it up, but, its quite rare to see it happen though.
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.

Have noticed over the last couple of days that my phone has become very slow.
It's a sim free phone in the UK and completely stock. I have not installed anything new app wise or made any kind of changes I can put it down to. When first purchased I found the phone to be very snappy in and out of apps despite the mid range hardware and 2gb ram.
I have no more than a dozen as installed . Just don't understand what's going on as it seems like there is a delay when you select anything or switch in and out of the app tray etc.
Rebooting it doesn't help?
Funny enough it does seem to have improved things. It was almost like the old Samsung slow down the get on the galaxy phones. Very strange, will just have to monitor it and see how things go.

My doesn't get hot, it just stupidly slow, and really annoying, but O2 haven't related the 6.0.1 Firmware so maybe that might fix the performance? otherwise I might root it and overclock it a little...

In that case i suggest you to contact htc support or your carrier to demande a new device.
try root thing at last when you have no solutions or into a dead end.
Because root will remove the warrant.

I bought one for my girlfriend, HTC one A9 16gb but with more than 5 completely lost... At the beginning everything was just fine, great speed and performance.
Because of it's lack of memory I decided to use the SD card as internal storage, micro SD 64Gb Sandisk class 10. After the format the HTC showed alert about the speed of the SD, it could not be enough fast.
After reinstalling apps and moving the heaviest to the SD it started to be very slow, WhatsApp took too much to open and even Google maps couldn't load properly, taking ages to work.
I ended up taking the SD out, using it as normal external storage. It went back to normal and now works good, the only thing now is that she only had 1.5Gb left for the apps and it runs out super fast just because of the thumbnails images and cache.
Has anyone tried with a high speed SD? Or has noticed this same problem?
