So I got "The Dark Knight Rises" game from Google play. Took me quite a long time to download. But it was just the beginning of my problems. The game lags so much to the point that it freezes during gameplay and force closes. I have tried using chainfire 3D and loaded Tegra plug-in and tried playing but no joy. So after paying around $ 7.00 for this supposedly awesome game, I am not even able to play it. I can't even ask for a refund. Has anybody downloaded this game and played on our 7.7? Any suggestion on how to make it lag free? I have used System tuner Pro and killed almost all except for the required tasks. I have uninstalled so many of my favorite games and apps just so that I could play this game. I am all ear to all the suggestions for a better gameplay.
I am still using android 3.2 though my phone is rooted.

Nope. The game itself is buggy and/or not written well to support our processor. I've tried it on my sgs2 as well and same results.

Hello Everybody,
Well,I guess its over a month since I've bought my smartphone [Grand 2] but I am noticing very minor lags on even low end games.
Well,Grand 2 is well equipped with quite good specifications but Still games like Temple run,Temple run 2,GTA Vice City is lagging.Though,The lags are very minor.Touch is responsive but there's a lil lag in Graphics rendering.
I don't why its happening so,
I tried almost each and everything- Disabled Bloatwares [NO ROOT],Disable S Voice,No widgets at Home Screen,Tried clearing RAM before each gameplay,Changed Windows and Animation scales to "OFF" in Developers Settings but still there no such effect.
I also own a Nexus 7 but I am able to play each and every game without any lag even GTA SAN and GTA VC.
I don't know what's the issue with this Samsung Galaxy Grand 2.
Can anyone please help me out of this trouble?
I am really regretting right now that Why I am bought this smartphone.
Thank you!!
Thats weird. I've been playing a lot of Low-end as well as High-end games on Grand 2 and Rarely experience any lags.
I'm not really sure if this works :fingers-crossed: but you can try downloading Clean Master from the play store. It provides a Game booster feature which says that it'll speed up your games by up to 25%. You can add a game booster shortcut folder on your homescreen and whenever you start games from this folder, it'll speed em up.
I am sure you would have checked it but still, did you bychance have the power saving mode on?

update to the latest version this lag had been fixed. and while playing game disabled power saving mode ,close all the running apps and do force stop and clear ram and sometimes phone memory get fulled also caused phone slow so see ur internal memory as well.
Do you mean, HD games want to play well & smooth on midrange smartphone?
Just try to disable unwanted apps like samsung apps etc...
In my experience, maintain ram free above 500mb. Now i can able to play games smooth & without more lag.

the thing is...after the Kitkat update that is the 4.4,2 every basic game has some minor or considerable lag. Its not the device that has the problem ,its the update that has the bugs. Jellybean never had any such lag in any basic game.
I got solution

samsung galaxy grand 2 gaming lag. ..
Please help .....I've recently bought a Samsung galaxy grand 2 and installed android 4.4.2 on it as it was requested by samsung.... i decided to try games like asphalt and dead trigger and the problem is that both games stutter for some seconds approx. 5 seconds and then goes smooth again.....it's applicable for all games that I've tried......please help. ...the lag also occurs when we don't have any bulky effects. .......stutters for a few seconds and smooth and goes on like this...... note power saving is disabled. Please help....... :crying:
Hello guys,
First of all I have a great time playing any games so far on my 910C, even heavy ones, but Spider-man Unlimited is giving me a pretty hard time! Most of you will say the game is butter smooth, and it is on the first hour or so of gameplay. When you advance in the game a lot of explosions and stuff start to pop up and the frame rate goes down. When you fight Electro the lag is unbearable. Keep in mind that my unit is not a fake or faulty.
What I have tried so far:
Downscaling resolution with NoMone Resolution Changer.
Disabling DVFS.
Emulating different GPUs and lowering the render resolution using GLToos (graphics optimizer)
Setting the governor to performance.
Disabling activities in the background.
Different combinations of the above.
And for my surprise none of these seemed to make a huge effect.
Yet to try:
Messing with the thermal throttle (haven't seen how yet).
I obviously don't have power saving mode on and sync is off. It's clear the game is not optimized and I'm aware that some other flagships have the same issue, but I'm looking for a way to fix this as I'm really addicted to the game and the lag is killing me.
Any ideas? Thanks.
U pretty much tried what u could, so the only thing really left is to email the dev and wait for it to be optimized for our phone. At least ur not one of the many people on xda that is like, oh why does the snapdragon suck, why is this phone so slow blah blah blah. Those people really annoy me that the first thing they blame is the chip/gpu, when it's clearly the software not being optimized.

Sure, the optimization for this game is laughable. Btw GLTools caused me random reboots and didn't solve the problem so I uninstalled it.

I use GLTools for enhancing, and don't run into problems. Like 16x anti aliasing, optimized shaders, and half float hack on my lwp+ apex+all widgets so everything looks it's best. I set it like that on games like gta as well.

Nice to hear!
My freezes followed by restarts were caused by disabling dvfs (incompatibility of some apps I guess).
Maybe this game is impossible to optimize from our end, so I'll leave it as it is. But it was good to make the post for other people having similar issues with this and other games.

Any feedback from snapdragon users?
The Ultimate Kernel helped a lot! Totally recommend it (intended to the C version, check the main thread for other versions)! If you crank every setting up and manage to keep the phone cold if really flies, but even just swapping the kernel improved gameplay.
Hey just wanted to know if anyone was experiencing lag in games. I turned off all game options in package disabler pro and it fixed the brightness issue but still having FPS issues. I play Order and Chaos 2 and on my Note 5 it performs beautiful, on this phone it's laggy and choppy. I can't figure out if it's a graphic issue, optimization issue, or a network issue with this phone. Please any input is greately appreciated!
Some games I play run perfectly smooth but others run choppy. Hearthstone for example. That game lags worse than it did on my GS5 and couldn't even come close to the smoothness of my 6S+. Royal Clash runs great though. Super smooth with no hangup. Asphalt 8 also runs good which is odd being how it's graphics are more intense than Hearthstone.

Disable gameservice with debloater for example
Which version are you using? Maybe it's just optimization problem.
I'm using the snapdragon 820 version of the s7e... and maybe it is an optimization problem because idk I play the game a lot and it's aggravating me to the point I'm wondering if I should return the phone within my 14 day window... I can't see much of an increase over the Note 5 aside from the camera and the size lol

So is this a problem with the game makers themselves or is it a phone problem? Or both? I'm debating on returning this phone and going back to my note 5... this phone processor is better and smoother, I love the always on display, and just everything else about it but it's not a drastic difference from the Note 5 though. Also even with the font on minimal extra tiny things still look huge on here compared to the Note lol

I don't know who's problem it is but the more I look into it, the more I think everyone is to blame here. I believe it's a problem with Marshmallow and Samsung phones.

I don't know then. All i know is over in the Hearthstone forums, everyone with Galaxy S 6's are also complaining about lag and bugs. Maybe it's a combination of Snapdraggon CPU's, Marshmallow and Samsung.

The only strange I've found is Minecraft PE. It runs smoother on my 2012 Nexus 7 than on my Exynos S7 Edge. But that's clearly an optimisation problem rather than hardware being unable to manage the game, because this phone is at least five times more powerful.
I would suggest against returning your phone for this issue. It's clearly a software issue which I am sure Samsung will fix. I am having the screen dimming and choppiness with Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. I had no issues on my S6 Edge before installing Marshmallow. Now I have the same issue on the S7 edge along with the color saturation issue. Most new phones usually have at least one update that addresses the issues once it hits the mass market.
There is supposed to be a update for Hearthstone soon to fix graphical issues, which could also fix lag. In the meantime, delete the game's cache/data and give it another shot.
And as mentioned above, disabling game service by Samsung helps with lag and color issues.

That only helps with the color levels, has little to no impact on games with actual performance problems on the S7.

It didn't fix it and the game is still choppy. I ran it side by side with my iPhone 6s+ and it was no contest. It's so smooth on the 6+ my S7 looked and felt like an atari.

I'm not entirely sure what's causing this lag but it's definitely an isolated issue, only few people have it.
Could you give more info on your device? Also, do you have apps that run and/or monitor all the time? Some people reported random apps that they hadn't even install draining their battery and/or slowing down their phone (ei.: Pocket).

Not entirely true. The Exynos variant doesn't seem to have that issue. Which makes me think that it's an optimization issue.
Hi I just bought galaxy s7 edge, phone is amazing but the biggest issue is performance, most games dropping frames below 30fps even temple run 2 or candy crush soda, sky force, heartstone etc. These games where running on may galaxy s5 smooth I'm really disappointed right now and don't know what to do. Is it a hardware or software issue? Can u help me please?
temple run and candy crush works fine on my phone
ye GS7 has the worst gaming performance in flagship device for years, there is not much u can do without root, and even with root the solution is not optimal to use.
U can however disable gameservice which might help or not, u need package disable pro in order to do so if u don't have root.
You mean best gaming perform. Zero issues here
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
no one of the worst, the fact that u don't have issues does not mean it's working perfect, u might not be able to see it.
Again not all games effected, mine games currently are Tekken on PPSSPP and Angry birds 2 on high levels 200+, both lags so bad it's not funny, Note 5 on 5.1.1 was light years ahead of S7.

i did everything, i can prove that it's the software that throttling the phone, not hardware.
If u disable DVFS via root, 85% of the lag is gone just like that.

Not at all but it will trip knox and your software warranty will wear off.
I just give up to play Need for Speed No Limits on my S7 Edge Exynos. Is just impossible to play after 5 minutes.
Just as a information I played the same game on a old Galaxy S4 Mini witch has much lower hardware specs, and no problems at all. Samsung just lie when says a S7 is a phone for games
the hardware is there, the software is limiting and yes that annoying, guys just spam their twitter account and try to go to higher ranks, if we all work together something might happen.
Make sure you don't have any accessibility services enabled. I had to have it enabled for a swipe down to open the notification drawer in my launcher, but discovered that enabling any accessibility service really slows down the entire phone.

Disabled Nova Launcher and Geenify services on Accesibility and now tha game runs smoother, and by the way the phone feels cooler, will test more.
At some point slow down a bit but not as used to be.
