Like for example Angry Birds, when you press the screen after launching the red bird it makes a sound, on the iPhone version it plays the sound right away, but on the Android version there is a slight delay, same with Reckless Racing, and more other games.
Is is some kind of audio driver issue?
Nobody notice this?
Everything works perfectly for me...

That's weird.
It happens for me too but only for that bird. I always just assumed it was supposed to be like that.

It's not suppose to be like that, even on my old G1, the sound plays right away when I tap the screen for the red bird.
As the title mentions, touchscreen response on my A70 seems laggy or jumpy when playing AB.
Basically, when trying to do the fine adjustments to aim, the A70 wants to jump around several pixels worth of movement. (sometimes up to about 1/4 the hight of a bird) On my Nexus 1 and G-tablet I could adjust aim down to pixel sized movements.
It may be due to being close to the screens edge, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. It is not a constant issue, but touchscreen response definitely seems less precise all around when playing the game. Most other apps I use do not need such fine adjustments, so I can not tell if this happens in them as well.
Edit: Downloaded a multitouch tester. (multitouch vis test) This app plots your finger with x,y cords and a visual dot. When moving slowly, both tracking methods made small jerky hops rather than following my finger smoothly. I have never had this happen with any other android device. And yes, I did try the screen calibration in settings several times.
No one else have this problem?
I have this as well... pretty annoying.

If this is common, then thats unfortunate. If it is rare then we know that we need to talk to archos support.
Are you in fw 2.0.71 ? I think is firmware related problem. I downgraded to 2.0.54 and have much fewer problems. And a faster a70 (z4root and SetCPU 1000mHz)
Hi there, first Message from me and first Touchscreen device...
i think it is because the wires of the touchscreen are not so close together.
When i look at them, the distance of them seem to compare to the "jumps" you mentioned.
But i have no other device to look at.
Are you using an App Killer before starting Angry Birds? I use the System Monitor to kill all unneeded applications to get at least 90 MB of free RAM before started Angry Birds and it runs very smoothly with excellent response from the touchscreen.
Bye.

No, but the multitouch test app is not a RAM heavy app and it also has this problem.

Hi _nz_
Did you read the op last sentence.
"And yes, I did try the screen calibration in settings several times."
I have noticed this same issue on my 70.
Hmm, maybe I should start a poll. Try to get a rough guess at the ratio of those with and without this issue.
I also have this problem with my 101. Sometimes the game has frozen completely. I mean freeze as: the screen freezes but the game continues. I can hear the audio still. If I am firing off a bird it will freeze and I can hear the bird continue to fly and break things but can't do anything about it. I have to exit the game and then jump back in. Really annoying when you are at the last move to beat the level. :-( There doesn't seem to be any fix that works for me of the things I've tried. Very frustrating. Still love the unit though!
I don't see this issue on my 70. I'm not too good at ab though, maybe that's the reason.
I see the same issue on my 101. Hard to make fine adjustments.

Agreed. Kill other apps to gain more memory before playing AB. It will then plays smoothly.

This has nothing to do with the game not playing smoothly. It is about touch screen response. I have the same issue when using a 150kb multitouch visualizer app on a fresh reboot.
While trying to play Beach Buggy Blitz or Shine Runner, the touchscreen control has significant lag. It takes about a second for the touch to register and steer the vehicle. Of course this makes it very difficult to steer. The lag is only present in games. Anyone else experience this problem? Sorry if this has been brought up before.
Oh and I'm running Smooth ROM and Faux kernel.

Have had the same issue. Especially when playing games that require a swiping motion (Batman: Arkham City Lockdown , Rage of the Gladiator etc). After lets say 10-15 mins of gaming the screen will just randomly not register the swipes. Taps seem to work just fine but not swipes.
Have a 32Gb Nexus 7 with PA and Franco kernel.
My games play just fine for ~10 minutes, and then start freezing. They start working again after a a small amount of time, but continue freezing. It makes me think it might have something to do with overheating, but the phone itself is barely warm. Does anyone else have this issue?
It's not that big of a deal, because I don't play games frequently, I'm just thinking that when I travel, I don't want to be having this issue with only being able to play games intermittently.
I first noticed it on SlimRom, thought it might have had something to do with the smaller pixel density that rom has, so I changed the lcd density to default, and the issue continued. I installed AOKP last night, and the issue is happening with that one as well.
I didn't have the stock rom on long enough to test it, but it would be nice to know that this is a phone issue and not a rom issue.
Right now I'm trying out the rest of the roms to see if any work for games for more than 10-15 minutes, but I would really appreciate some input from anyone.
EDIT
Issue occurs with Carbon and PAC roms as well.

not sure, but it could be a memory (RAM) issue. does the freezing happen with other apps, or just certain games?
I have not seen it happen in anything except games, but it only happens when I have the game open for 10+ minutes. I don't think I have ever had a single app open that long, but it doesn't seem to be a RAM issue to me. Once the freezing starts happening, it freezes a couple times a minute, and other apps work just fine, even with the game still running in the background. If I set it down, it won't freeze again for another few minutes, which is why it seems like GPU overheating to me. Once it gets hot, it freezes really frequently, then when given the chance to cool down it doesn't freeze again unless its been running a game for longer.
I just got it to freeze, hit the task killer button(said 380MB free) and went back into the game, and it froze again within 30 seconds.
I downloaded a CPU temp app, and the CPU is ~35C, and doesn't get much higher when the game starts freezing. Are there any apps that show GPU temp? I can't seem to find anything.

get a logcat and send it to the Dev of whatever ROM you're on.
I did, I ended up sending it to the SlimRoms crew, because Slim has been my go-to rom.
In other news, I used the Utility on the Dev page to flash back to stock 4.1.2, and have been playing a game for around 20 minutes with no issues, it seems like stock works fine. Good to know I dont have a malfunctioning device.
I'm gunna try some of the 4.1.2 roms and if they don't have the issue, I may just stick with one of those.
Thanks for your help.
I had the same problem! I'm running Carbon and I had the same problems with games. I recently flashed the latest version of carbon and it seems to not have the issue any more though

Interesting.. That would definitely be worth a try.
Right now I'm back to a 4.1.2 rom and games are running flawlessly. I miss all the nice features of 4.2 though, and having Pie and Halo would be amazing.
Thanks for the tip, which Carbon build are you on? I'm looking at the list and I see one built on 7/10 so I'll give that a go.

Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Gameboid, Zenonia, basically 2D games. It has happened with every game I play for more than 10ish minutes, but I haven't tried anything like dead trigger. I'll give it a go with Carbon and see what happens.

I tried it without Force GPU and the same thing happened.
I played Dead Trigger for a while without any problems. Seems like its only 2D games, but those are mostly the only ones I play.

Man, I wish I could figure it out. I guess its 4.1.2 for me, at least until 4.3 hits. Thanks for your help.
