I just tried asphalt 5 on my evo and it lags alot. The menu screen and start up are fine, the lag starts once you get into the actual game play and just cant stand it. I thought the 1ghz was going to take care of gaming but I guess not. Any body else with problems as well, or its something froyo will fix? Love the phone but my iphone 2g plays games smoother!

Just an assumption but i bet 1 FPS is Sense UI's fault
It is not a well built game. It is not designed for our phones. It is simply a port from the iPhone

Now that makes more sense, I was sad that my phone couldn't run everything
There is not an Android phone in existence that this game will run smooth on LOL Maybe DroidX once it's released because it will have the best GPU available in an Android phone at that time but even that i'm not sure. I suspect DroidX will end up seeing some games only developed for it to take advantage of it's GPU like Need for Speed etc...
If your a gamer you might prefer DroidX but EVO is much nicer as a phone/internet/multimedia device. Kind of a catch 22.
driodx and reg droid can run this game i believe, because they have an actual dedicated GPU
Droid X and the old Droid carry the same GPU look at spec sheets. Also the Droid X doesn't have the best GPU of any Android device the new Galaxy S series spanks it.

Bah I always forget about the Galaxy S, Samsung is not in my playbook given their past record with Android phones and thier terrible support along with that iPhone looking UI they put on thier devices they end up looking like those cheap chinese iphone knockoffs you get for 29.99 on EBAY LOL If I wanted an iPhone i'd buy an iPhone...not a Samsung!

Yawn... rather have a Samsung with an iPhone skin that's easily un-installed or disabled than a pos Evo with hardware limitations and unexplainable lag. Honestly saying Samsung has bad build quality makes me laugh since of all the phone makers HTC has the most build quality control issues than any other phone maker in the industry. Samsung TVs, PHONES, DVD Players etc... win awards pretty much every year and while their support isn't outstanding neither is HTC's, matter of a fact the Hero came out before the Moment and the Moment got their 2.1 update before the Hero. Not to mention the Hero never even got the 1.6 update which the Moment did so really HTC has even worse support.
I just loaded the game up again and I don't know what they did but the game plays pretty damn smooth now, much different than the last time I played it. Make sure you have the latest update.

The Samsung Moment never got 1.6 btw. The only problem having a Samsung device, is the lack of DEV support. Youre kind of all alone out there. With HTC having so many phones, and a lot sharing the same components, theres a lot more people like XDA working on the issues. When the galaxy comes out, this would be my biggest issue about getting it, not to mention, I really love my EVO.
Samsung Moment did get the 2.1 update by Sprint. I dunno what you're talking about. Same with the Hero.

No it doesn't.
Actually, who the hell would know? But if the Nexus One has a debilitating bottle neck, it's the GPU. When the original Droid from 2009 beats you, you got a problem. If Honeycomb finally brings GPU acceleration (that's if 2.3 doesn't) along with a ton of intense UI stuff, the Nexus One might lag behind.
I hate to read that I hoped my n1 would never turn into one of those old dusty android phones that falls behind on updates

They are testing 2.3 on the Nexus One (and of course the Nexus S). Honeycomb seems to be a tablet OS, but even if it isn't, what makes you believe that they aren't focusing on their new in house phone, the Nexus S?
We'll skip honeycomb and go straight to icecream

Development for Honeycomb existed before the Nexus S.
First thing guys, Nexus One will get honeycomb, no the gpu isnt ****ty its way better than the droid 2009, Nexus One scores better on 3d. Yes Nexus one has the specs for honeycomb, IMO even G1 will get gingerbread and might get honeycomb as we already have the drivers for it working on the 2.6.35 kernel. Nexus One will be supported beyond honeycomb as 1ghz processor is not ****ty in a smartphone. Even with the upcoming of the dual core processor, single core 1 ghz will not be obsolete. About the gpu, the drivers are improving day by day and it supports open gl 2.0 and its time since open gl 3.0 lands on mobile devices. Until 3.0 stuff starts appearing Nexus One will continue to be a good phone. It will become a G1 the day open gl 3.0 starts appearing and along with it all other devices g2 etc will become a overclocked g1. Nexus S might not be the new dev phone, u have no confirmations, it might be like the HTC magic, the flagship phone for 1.5 or Droid the flagship phone for 2.0. Look at the facts and understand wats in there before caring for such stuff, will honecomb come, will icecream or whatever come. If its in the AOSP it will sure boot on ur Nexus and will boot on ur G1 and i suspect it might slow down on the G1 etc after gingerbread

1. I thinks its obvious that development has now shifted to the Nexus S.
2. We've now seen some glimpses of honeycomb and it looks to be the release with the UI overhaul - even stated by Andy Rubin at dive into mobile. The smooth orientation change animation also makes me believe that Honeycomb finally brings full HW acceleration. Nothing is known for sure but considering the shift in attention, the very weak GPU and HW acceleration, Honeycomb is not a absolute given.

The GPU is more than powerful enough to display a few triangles on the screen for the UI. The only time you will see the GPU dragging down the phone would be full 3D environments like games.

Some quick things I noticed between the Nexus One/EVO (have both now and are similar) and Nexus S.
1. The 3D view in maps is much smoother in the Nexus S. The Adreno 200 can still perform admirably(~20-30 FPS) but when you compare it to a more capable GPU you realize that it can not perform at 100% (~60 FPS) and is already struggling.
2. Pretty much any live wallpapers will lag up the home screen, some more than others. This isn't the case with the newer GPUs.
3. The same thing that happens with the 3D view in maps happens in the 3D gallery. It runs okay (20-30 FPS) but when you compare it to a newer phone like the Nexus S it runs so much more smoother (~60 FPS). Even worse I experience severe choppiness (~10FPS) when there's a lot of photos and I do something simple like popping up a menu or a info modal. This point is especially important since everything I read references the 3D gallery app as a HW accelerated app.
I could very well be proven wrong by Google; I'm just point out some observations I made.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Everything you mention are full 3D apps that would tax the GPU a lot more than simple hardware acceleration for the 2D Android interface.
So if they rewrote everything in the style of the Gallery, it would be a problem, if they just used the GPU to accelerate the 2D interface elements such as transitions, the scrolling, or the web browser it should be perfectly fine.
My girlfriend just got a brand new White EVO (I have my black one since launch date and it's been rooted since it was possible). I never tried playing N.O.V.A. until I accidentally stumbled upon it on her phone...
My impression? I'm actually quite shocked that Sprint included this with their new OTA. It's definitely too much for this phone to handle smoothly. While playable most of the time, it isn't something a company should be advertising when the hardware can barely keep up. I'm also shocked that the EVO can't handle it that well. My friend's Droid X ran it as smooth as could be.
PS - This was ran on an stock, unrooted, barely vanilla EVO. Perhaps a custom ROM and some overclocking fixes this issue?

You shouldn't have bothered. You'll only get a bunch of replies from people who have mysteriously perfect EVOs. I have run NOVA on CM6/7, Sense and MIUI, all ran 'playable' but chopped up when things got busy. This will stir **** up, but all you got to do is play NOVA on a iPhone 4 or Galaxy S and compare. Its silky smooth, 60 FPS-ish. EVO feels like 25-30 with drops down to half that when a lot is happening.

It's not about being easily satisfied, it's about what's available at the time. Technology will forever move forward and sooner or later something will run slow on a device that was the best of it's kind. They're not easily satisfied, some people are NEVER satisfied. I don't see anyone here trying to get a job with HTC or Samsung or any other OEM to develop something out of this world.
I know im going to get flamed, however I don't understand how we could have such a powerful phone with the slowest 2D and sub-par performance 3D (unless its a TegraZone game)? Yes the phone is super fast, but it has a superior GPU that can't even to 2D well. NVIDIA has said that the low benchmarks are do to the benchmarking software not taking advantage of the tegra's 3D capabilities. Yet they are all based on OpenGL ES. Which is a standard that any GPU made for android should support fully. 2D should have been mastered way before 3D was. Also, to say its the resolution being so high, again this GPU (not quite as powerful as its desktop version) was powering way higher resolutions than that of the Atrix. Also, let's not forget where NVIDIA started, they pretty much made OpenGL what it is today.
I just wanted to get that off my chest. I have the Atrix and love the speed. I just can't get past the fact that my single core captivate with its PowerVR 540 has better performance in 2D and 3D out-of-the-box. Fluid motion across the entire phone.
Sent from my Atrix, using XDA app.
my understanding is that android is not optimized for dual core cpus as of right now. also correct me if i am wrong but the ui is not gpu accelerated because of the multitude of hardware android has to be compatible with? although things like the stock launcher are hardware accelerated and run quite nicely. (although are incompatible because of our high screen resolution) expect better performance in the coming future. i also have a honeycomb tablet with similar hardware. the ui is all hardware accelerated and it is smooth as can be. i would expect phones will catch up as we get closer to ice-cream sandwich.

Can we see these benchmarks? If you test the phone on smartbench (which uses opengl graphics) the ATRIX scores higher than the sgs2... so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I don't know what you are talking about. Are you one of those people that still believes the PowerVR 540 does 90m polygons/s???
I don't see any slow down in any game, 3d or 2d and that's pushing way more pixels.
Not in games, but web browsing and scrolling can be awsomelly crappy on the atrix, thats true. And Galaxy on Fire 2, for example, does lag.

Are you on 2.3.4?
Also, web browser lag is a software issue. Download dolphin web browser. Theres no lag there.
Yes I am. Yes, I tried opera, dolphin, every single browser you can think of, there definetly is lag. If you cant spot it right on, go to a carrier store and access the same site on your atrix and on the SGS2. Try pocket now, its a heavy website, or stock youtube, or anything you can think of that contains lots of images and videos. The atrix isnt smooth by any standards.

I gotta agree the stock 2.2.2 sucks. I also believed (kinda) the phone was subpar for what it was marketed for.
A week ago, however, flashed 2.3.4 (When Int'l users got some serious love), and coupled with the newest Edgan kernel and Go Launcher Ex, I can tell you the difference is huge.
Maybe you could try that? I apologize beforehand if you already did, but couldn't tell.
Yes it becomes much, much speedier (I did those exact configs, golauncher ex, 2.3.4., OC kernel) but also much buggier. Battery life went to hell, it heated up constantly, and my phone would wake sometimes not recognizing my SIM card and screwing up my widgets.
I took off the OC kernel and left with stock 2.3.4, its still much faster than froyo, and it's, sadly, still behind the SGS2, for example. My comparison with the Galaxy is that it's the only other dual core superphone on Brazil for now.
Given, I didnt notice the difference until I personally compared the two, so i suggest this as a free-time enlightening endeavor to all Atrix owners. A bit depressing tough, but hey, out phone has a fingerprint sensor, the lapdock, and a much greater pixel density (which makes a hell of a lot of difference too, trust me).
If you're on froyo it's an unfair comparison.
Get on gingerbread and we'll talk.
The other phone is always better..... until you actually buy it. Then there's always gonna be a better phone just around the corner.
You can do one of two things
1) return/ sell your Atrix and get the GS2 or 2) stick with the Atrix and stop obsessing over lame benchmark scores. The Atrix is still one of the fastest Android phones on the market.

Ok then, I'm on GB as well. I get 3600 productivity and 2800 gaming on smartbench. I get ~24 hours of battery life (in use). The phone is never hot like it used to get on froyo.
I'm using edgans international kernel on 2.3.4 OrangeFR.
If you don't spend time on your phone, it will have issues. If you search around and are smart, you can run a flawless 2.3.4 atrix that beats GS2 in gaming, and almost matches it in productivity.
Its buttery smooth.
My god you really didnt read anything I wrote...
Im not talking about benching. Im not talking about problems with gaming, and I dont even wanna guess what you mean by "productivity". Im saying that scrolling up and down the same website in both phones side-by-side, the SGS2 wins by a large margin, and that until you've tried it personally, you may not feel any performance issues with ur Atrix.
The only exception to the gaming is Galaxy on Fire 2, which stutters on the Atrix, and I confirmed this on two models. Its a graphically heavy game, but its made for Tegra, and it stutters. Its one software, so Im not blaming this on the phone, just saying... This specific game doesnt even run on the Galaxy, for example...

The productivity benchmark portion of smartbench. Check it out.
I have absolutely no stutter in my dolphin web browser. I'm on the desktop version of youtube right now. Since you have a GS2 in your hands. Take a video comparing them. Make sure you install a fresh copy of cherryblur, redpill, or ninjarom before you compare. Kenn's beta and the OTA are a little buggy and bloated. There's no way that the atrix stutters. If it does, return yours. Mine doesn't.
Its a well known fact that game is gimmicky. Try out backbreaker THD, Riptide, pinball THD, samurai 2 vengeance, guerrilla bob, reckless racing.
Guys, SGS2 has a hardware-accelerated browser! It is bound to be smoother and faster than what we have on Atrix!
Yes my galaxy tab has the same graphics accelerated browser. Its ipad fast lol. Switch to dolphin and its slow again. Samsung are definitely baking gpu acceleration into stock browsers

Man I love this phone after only a few hours.
Till I loaded up my Castle Clash and COC and I'm sadly disappointed .
Its slower than my old device and I don't understand why. The games even stutter a bit when a lot of action is going on.
What's the deal?
I've changed the title because if you're a mobile gamer like myself you may want to get another phone.
I'm pretty sure the Forced encryption has something to do with it. Hoping an update comes soon because this phone is blazing fast.
Please don't tell me CoC lags! I'm going from the G3 and it played worst than my S4! Please don't tell me that! Plays great on the OnePlus One.... Must be the 2K screen killing the frame rates.
Anyone tried playing CoC with encryption off?
I can confirm game lag isn't encryption. I tested block fortress: war before and after decrypting. There was no change. And its not the GPU or screen because antutu benchmark benches higher in GPU than my note 3 did. My guess is lollipop/art issues. But who knows for sure :/
It's lollipop issues. A lot of developers didn't take advantage of the early preview builds. The Adreno 420 shouldn't have any problem pushing COC on a 2K screen

It's lollipop issues. A lot of developers didn't take advantage of the early preview builds. The Adreno 420 shouldn't have any problem pushing COC on a 2K screen

Exactly. This thing outperforms the snapdragon 800 pushing 1080p. Basically meaning, all games should actually run noticeably faster than they did on the snapdragon 801 and 800. The 420 is a beast of a GPU.
I already have encryption off.
So basically right now ill have to carry both my phones just to play my games. It's that annoying and I even have ART enabled on my old phone which runs cm11.
I only got 14 days before I can't return this thing.
I'm bummed out.

(Just got this so bear with me) I have encryption on currently and noticed that games that havent been updated yet are a tad slower to load. The games that have updated load instantly. I would just give it a few weeks for the apps to update.
I play CoC and it is smooth as butter on mine. I'm only unlocked and rooted and still have encryption
I play Clash and it's smooth as eggs. It's smoother than my OnePlus One.
There's a thread discussing internal memory and so far it looks like they could be from 3 different manufacturers so performances could be affected by which one you phone is using. To check go to fast boot and it shows in the hardware information on the bottom half of the screen
This worked wonders for me

I have a 10 and that's suppose to be good..
I suppose I'll try this kernel and see what happens.

Man I love this phone after only a few hours.
Till I loaded up my Castle Clash and COC and I'm sadly disappointed .
Its slower than my old device and I don't understand why. The games even stutter a bit when a lot of action is going on.
What's the deal?

yeah me too .. so disappointed .. its maybe because the game is not yet optimized and the force encryption has a lot of write speed .
I lag on some waves of Kingdom Rush
Its definitely the lack of optimization yet because the benchmarks show this phone to have better performance than rivals such as the iPhone 6 even with its 2k screen being used in the benchmark. The adreno 420 GPU is a monster of a phone GPU. Seriously impressed with how much power they packed into this thing.

I know I'm completely off-topic...but 2K = 1080P, lol.
QHD is actually just 2.5K
The more you know! lol

Lol very true. The whole 2k/4k naming scheme is dumb IMO. Why not say 1440p just like we said 1080p and 720p. Its just more marketable

Oneplus actually has a crippling gpu issue. I haven't encountered it myself on my games but if you read the forums there's a lot of people saying they get stutters.
If you want to test it, try dling StabilityTest from the play store and running the cpu + gpu stress test and you will see very good performance and consistent frame stutters like clockwork.
