Guys,
In need of a bit of advice....
Today I noticed for the first time whenever I play any game about 10 seconds into the game it will pause and the only way to carry on is to 'un-pause' the game.
It then will play for around another 10 seconds then pause again.
I have had a look at what new Aps I have installed but it does not appear to be any of them.
I have rebooted the Tab several times but still it carries on pausing game play by itself.
Any ideas??
Have you tried stock clock speeds
Did you modify your device, whether through rooting or changing your rom? This is the first time I've heard of that problem. O_O

No, nothing modified. Had I altered anything I would hopefully have the answer.
I normally help many but this is the first time I have been stumped.

I would backup everything with titanium, then try with a fresh new rom.

The backup would simply include whatever is causing the issue.
Plus I don't really want to start playing around with the Tab. As a surgeon I have quite an extensive amount of data I need access to and I can not afford to have a Tab that becomes unstable after a ROM chop.
Basically I need to ascertain what is causing the problem just as I would with a patient.
I mean install only one game after the fresh new rom, to see if it's a hardware problem or a software one.

Thanks... but as I said I don't really want to go down the avenue of putting a fresh ROM on my Tab.
I don't have the time to make a backup, do all the ROM update requirements, install Apps one by one, etc. etc.
The Tab is working fine in all other respects.... It just will not play games without dropping into Pause mode.
Any other time I would have done all this myself... I have helped countless others to do this and have walked many a forum member through the procedure so I am fully verse with all the requirements... but time is not a luxury nor is it necessary given the Tab in all other respects works fine.
This is definitely a software issue... that I do know.
Another twist I am noticing..... Not only is the Tab pausing every game you load but some games (Asphalt 5 to name but one) will stop during game play, reload the game then take you to the the screen with options to either continue or exit... in other words it's acting very brutal on games.
But why only on games, that is what is so confusing?
All I need is an idea chaps.... a simple idea to work on.
Thanks.

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.
read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?
The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font
When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc
Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

Well as the title says and you can imagine, i didn´t have too much luck.
First time i´ve installed the game, when starts i have to wait long hours to download the data, once it was finished, started to play buuuuut.... i just could play A MINUTE before crash.... and the background in the menu and in the game was white
I´ve been able to find the data files (1.23gb) somewhere, put the folder in sd card, and nothing, when start the game automatically goes to the download bar
So i wanted to know, wich was your experience, did you have luck ?? all worked fine ??? and in the case it worked for you, what did you do ??? (could facilitate me the data files ? )
I must say the data files i´ve downloaded could be for smartphones maybe, i know....
Any help would be really appreciated

i found a version where you install modded apk for your screen resolution, put 1.23gb worth of files on sd card, and restore cache via titanium backup before opening the app but i just get a black screen. I tried chainfire 3d with qualcom drivers but no luck. Bummer, i love sf4, and would have loved to try this version. I guess ill get the legit version in 3 months when it hits the market.

My 4g constantly requires a battery pull once a day, this is my 4th evo and all of them are the same. evo freees, have the pull battery to get it back working again, getting tired of it and it's not rooted.
What's the cause for this and why haven't htc produced a fix?
Also I'm thinking of picking up something else cheap and selling my evo, Motorolla photon or htc evo design? what's a better be?
What's the resale value of my evo 4 g/ 120?
Are you updated with the latest OTA? Have you done a factory reset recently?
Yes, all my evos freeze.

I would try rooting it and flashing a good, solid ROM like MikG 3.11.

I had 3.0 and it frooze too, it's either all the evos freeze or its a program I'm running.
Can someone comment of the other phones?
It's something your doing, because the EVO 4G has been around almost 2 years and never heard of anyone having that problem before. And even if someone did have that problem on 1 phone, it wouldn't happen on a 2nd, let alone 4.
So I highly doubt changing to a different phone will help you at all.
Mine freezes occasionally, usually when I'm impatient and try to do a bunch of stuff right after it boots up and is still loading. Other than that, no freezes or other problems. It could be an app that you always have installed, maybe you should try factory resetting and see if it still does it. If it doesn't, slowly reinstall your apps until it does, then you'll be able to narrow down the problem more easily.

This^
That being said the EVO Design 4G is a nice handset, my brother has one...with little rooting or 3rd party ROM support as of yet...I don't think there's even a forum for it on XDA.
Only time my phones freeze is when I try to do something right after boot b4 the media scanner finishes running or when I try to push the clockspeed past its limits just to see what will happen like the time I clocked the evo to 1.6 and it would freeze the bootani and need to be restored or on the et4g I tried clocking it to 2ghz and it would boot but then go to sleep of death once the screen goes off gotta pull the battery to turn it back on
Yeah, I've had my Evo since launch day, and the only time I have to do battery pulls is when I've tried clocking too high, or running a really experimental ROM.
The problem is on your end, I would say. Good luck. There's already good advice posted here.

More than likely in your case its an errant app causing freezes maybe something sideloaded from a 3rd party market that's not compatible with your device or some kind of mod or tweak you've used

If he's unrooted/stock, I don't think there are many apps/mods that would cause this kinda behavior.
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
There are tons of apps and mods you can use unrooted, you can sideload apps on any rom by checking the unknown sources box and downloading and app from the internet and installing it even if it isn't mean for your device, and there are many mods you can do to unrooted devices such as 3rd party launchers, some scripts that can be run that don't require root, changing the SD read ahead cache, setting up profiles for CPU clockspeeds in apps such as setcpu or something similar, plus he mentioned he wasn't rooted then said he was rooted, he could be trying to use an app that requires root on an unrooted device, the possibilities of app conflicts on a rooted or unrooted device are near endless, especially if you use sideloaded apps that are cracks or warez such as games

I installed Windows 8 yesterday and it was running fine. All of a sudden about an hour ago it froze but I could still move the mouse. I couldn't click on anything though and had to manually restart. Now I can't open any metro apps without it freezing every time, it takes longer than usual to reboot after manually shutting it down, and my documents, music, etc. Folders are gone. If I can even get to the desktop it'll freeze two minutes later. It is literally unusable. I'm pissed off because this is supposed to be final software from Microsoft and it's worse than Alpha software. How can it be released like this. I've read of other people having the same problems but none of the fixes work for us.

Yea, I installed it on a fresh partition dual booting with Windows 7. I did a Google search of the problem and it seems those who have it can't fix it. I had to wipe the partition and install it again. So far so good.

I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. It's not like I did anything to make it happen either. It just did all of a sudden out of no where. I think it's maybe a driver problem but Toshiba, for me, hasn't made all their drivers Windows 8 compatible. When I go into control panel and hardware and devices it shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. When I got to troubleshoot it it can't find the driver. I manually installed the drivers from Toshiba's site the first time because the sound was crackling but when I had to reinstall I just installed what Windows Update suggested.

Justin.tv doesn't have the android app out yet- at least according to their site.
BUT, justin.tv does in fact work from firefox vers 24 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox) with flash 11.1.115.81 (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk).
I have mine set up that I click to activate the plug in...I press it, wait a few seconds then the video loads. You need to kill firefox if it's running in the background when you install flash. After you restart firefox, you should be golden.

Well, in the nicest way possible- I'm not gonna d/l the one you posted and install it...(and I won't ask anything about the version or if it's legitimate or not). But I can say I'll install the one from the market I found by looking up the app by the filename of what you posted in the app store there's a free version for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bantamstudio.streamiefree&hl=en and it does seem to have some playback issues.
By further looking at some of the user comments of that app, I would think that it's a general issue occurring with it and you may want to either spring for the paid version (for real) or contact the developer of the app. It would seem to be that they know best what's occurring with it and can make the adjustments for things to work as expected. Also, by the comments on the reviews, it sounds like the developer broke something when they did their last update.
EDIT: Pretty much says it all in the description of the app in the play store, buddy:
"FLASH IS REQUIRED. Streamie will help you install flash if you don't have it already.
Please rate Streamie 4 or 5 stars if you feel we deserve it. If not, please contact us and tell us how we can do better.
If you have any bugs please contact us directly so that we can quickly support you.
Currently only Justin.tv and Twitch.tv streams are available. We are working hard to add other video services to Streamie.
KNOWN ISSUES:
* The flash player will stop playing if you touch the playing video. This is a problem with the player that Justin.tv provides. We are working on a solution to this.
* Sometimes Justin.tv or Twitch.tv will take a long time to respond to a request. Try refreshing.
* If you have an ad blocker on your phone, it can take a long time to load the stream. This is because the ad request needs to time out."

Yeah, that's what everyone else told them too...and the links were already provided....it's not necessarily flash that's the issue, as indicated my previous post and by the OP uploading the apk they're using... So, that's a pretty good indicator it has to do with the app they're using- that - coupled with the information on the app in the playstore reviews/comments and known issues in the app description - as also indicated in my previous post...oh and it's also outlined how the installer for flash you mention (that was mentioned earlier in this thread) ends up also working in firefox as indicated in my post prior to my last one as well...so I think that's a fairly good indicator that flash or installing flash isn't the crux of the problem...
call me silly, but if I could take the liberty to take a wild guess here, I think it's the app....okay maybe not such a wild guess, but it's the streaming app they're using- as indicated in my previous post...

Wonder if it could be because of the os version too - 4.2.2 on the S4. I think the S3 & note are still on 4.2.1.
I know it was like that with the Crackle app & honeycomb on some devices there was issue playing for a bit.
Anyhow, glad folks got something figured out and/or alternatives.
