I've basically been playing a few games like asphalt 7&8 and modern combat 4 and I've noticed that it doesn't really perform well. MC4 and asphalt 7 ran quite well with occasional stutters, but overall it's quite smooth. On asphalt 7, if I were to go to the homescreen and back into the game, the accelerometer will become laggy, like... the car would take 1/2 a second to turn when I tilt the device instead of instantly. The device also gets very hot on asphalt 7. On asphalt 8, the screen transitions in games are not smooth at all, and in game I would have frequent framerate drops to 20+. I've watched youtube videos of G2 playing asphalt 8 and they never had that problem. The phone doesn't get very hot but it still is slow. Anyone else had performance problems with gaming? I'm really bummed cos I can't exchange it. :crying::crying::crying:
Is there some kind of Power Saving mode on the G2?
I don't own the phone yet, but On the Galaxy devices you have Power Saving toggle that will underclock the CPU causing games to run like crap.
Strange, because I play all games smooth and maxed out on my G2 (international).
Played modern combat for 1 hour straight no lag
Best device i played this game on as well, actually feels a little smoother than my nexus 10.
No lag and no heat.
I play those two games as well. No issues on my g2. The accelerometer is a bit laggy though I guess.

I'm pretty sure these games just have bad optimisation for Snapdragon 800, and people just are used to gaming at low framerates, because this and this is exactly the type of stuff I see too. Remember that YouTube is limited to 30 fps, but you can still see how this dips to 15 at times, which just shouldn't be possible on a Snapdragon 800 as we can see that this game runs butter smooth. Might also be the dreadful thermal throttling, that LG really need to fix.

Testing Vice City on G2 gave me abysmal performance. If GTA III runs this bad too, I will get another unit and test further. I hope my unit is faulty, otherwise LG really needs to bring 4.4 to G2 and fix it.

First of all, thanks for the help, I appreciate it
Second of all, after trying this, it didn't fix the problems I had with Vice City at all. I guess I'll have to take it to the store tomorrow for replacement and if it still doesn't work I'll wait for an update to roll out. No way this baby isn't gonna be mine.
I can tell you I've tested 3 g2s 1 was a att version 2 were T-Mobile . 1 was stock other 2 were rooted and running a custom ROM. I only play 1 game, clash of clans .. I can only go a few mins and the phone heats up a lot and the screen becomes laggy to the point I have to shut the game off for a few mins. so its def a issue with this phone. And I've played that game on like 6 androids and I phones and never had this issue.

This seems to be a general issue with the phone, so I guess LG will fix it when they bring 4.4 to it. Will try and get another G2 today to see whether I got unlucky with my first.
OP, sorry for hijacking, what I really wanted was to check whether it's an issue with the phone or whether it's an issue with our specific phones.
My guess is its just these phones in general .

Bad kernel, bad optimization from both LG and the game devs and old Android version. The hardware is great, everything else... Not so much.

Hello i was going to buy the Asus padfone 2 when i saw it on the internet but after i saw the tablet resolution and the HTC One i decided to buy HTC One with a Nexus 7 but my question is the nexus 7 laggy for me i play a lot of games like Dead trigger N.O.V.A 3 and Shadowgun and Fifa 13
so i will install like 80+ games is it laggy for this kind of user???
Well there's no lag in games like Shadow gun and ravensword. It can pretty much handle every android game I throw at it and also emulates ps1 and N64 very well.
---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------
I should also note that N.O.V. A 3 runs spectacularly. I'm running smooth rom and Franco kernel which helps a lot too.
what i mean is not if it laggs in the game or not i mean after installing all this games will it lagg when am using chrome or any other thing
I would say that the Nexus 7 is not a perfect gaming device, and it is definitely not "lag-free" when you are stock. When I was stock I also figured that chrome was a bit laggy, so I recommend dolphin browser.
If you have any browser opened, it should not affect the gaming too much, but it is optimal to have none apps opened. Android have a really good multitasking system, so it should be no problem actually.
Well the n7 isn't going to have any more than 32gb. So it would be pretty impossible to install 80+ games on it, and as with any device, it will slow down substantially once your hard drive is almost full. I wouldn't suggest buying it if you need all of those games installed at once.

My i9505 stutters in all games, literally all. Even lighter ones like subway surfers, vector, mini motor racing. It drops a couple of frames randomly every few seconds, its 60 but then drops to 57 or 53 and then immediately goes back up.
Heavier games like Vice City, San Andreas, NFS Most Wanted, Iron Man 3, Dead Trigger, Dead Trigger 2, Shadowgun Dead Zone lag and stutter like hell.
NFS MW gets from 25 to 35 fps, GTA VC goes over 30 but often even drops slightly below 20. GTA SA gets 30 max with it stuttering and dropping to around 20. Dead Trigger 2 and Shadowgun DZ get 30 fps but every couple of seconds it suddenly drops to like 28/25/23 and then quickly goes up. Modern Combat 4 goes below 30 as well.
Anyone else with this problem? Or it's just me? Any solutions?

I wouldn't say I am having the same problems but DT2 simply won't budge from 35fps on any setting except ultra, which has its frame rate cap go up to 60. Weird.

Yea cpu/gpu are ok, running at 1890/450, I even tried overclocking them, but same fps :S
And no matter what settings I set exactly the same fps and stutters. I don't get it. Haven't seen more than 30 fps in any game except in games like Angry Birds and Vector.

... Are you willing to wipe your phone? It might be worth a try.
Alternatively, see if you can reinstall the games (although I doubt that will work).
I don't have 4.3 (running 4.2.2), so I wouldn't know a workaround for your firmware. :/
I have a feeling its about optimization from the developers of the games and not our hardware throttling. Just like how subway surfers will never get 60fps even on the iPhone 5s but the 5s flies with other games. I honestly believe our S4 is capable of running games like GTA at 60fps just fine.

Yea that seems to be the problem. That is the only thing that could explain the same exact stutters and low fps no matter which rom, frequency, settings you use. I guess I should've gone with I9500, looks like it's the only one getting games optimized for when it comes to s4.
any fixes for this?

I am extremely frustrated with this issue!
I am coming from an S3 and I never had any lag problems with any games! On the i9505, with most games, even less-demanding ones such as PvZ2, after 5 minutes of playing, it starts lagging like hell. Also the phone gets really really hot in the upper part.
I have KT kernel and the KTweaker app, but don't know what exactly to change. Can someone please tell me some settings for this?
why gs4 prevent lag during exection
Galaxy S4 always lag during playing all type of games because of overclocking. I notice Htc one is the same specs interms of cpu/gpu but it is totaly perfect with zero lag so the reason is the gs4 overclock to the speed of 1.9 instead 1.7 like HTC one.

sent from Nokia 3310
Hi, previously had the Note 5 and after upgrading to 6.0.1, i noticed games lags very very hard, especially heavy 3d games like angry birds, they drop FPS and become too laggy, never happened on 5.1.1.
Now same thing with S7 Edge, phone works perfect, camera is awesome but gaming is lacking, i see how it can perform well but those 6.0.1 3d gaming bug kills it, now it pisses me off so much i wanna sell the phone as idk if samsung even aware of this.
Those who question me i can upload a video to youtube to show you that, just a rant thread.

This annoys me as well but I'm pretty sure it's just software as the hardware is more than capable. All the other features are more worth it than gaming performance since I rarely game now. So this is still one beast of a phone. It'll get better with dev support if they ever figure out an exploit for the 820 variants or some miracle happens and our bootloader gets unlocked.
yes it is software that's why it drives me crazy, at least if sammy somehow admitted that and we know fix on the way that would be nice, one of the reason i bought it is the awesome gaming and Vulkan support, which ppsspp emulator starts to support as well, i just hope they will fix it asap, as well as the stock app camera which have issues of it's own.
I had this issue as well, the solution is download game tuner from Google play store, and manually adjust the settings for your desired games to max. The performance is scaled down automatically. It's a "feature". This will fix your problems.
Wow! it does help though not by 100%, but now it took 6 levels to start lag out instead of 1, though it uses gameservice which means it lower the volume automatically and dim the screen or oversaturate colours at times, but it seems there is a way, thank you!
Well still same awful lag i think ill return my gs7 and buy something else

Try angry birds 2 for 10 levels and youll see lag happens after a bit. If u minimize and then maximize it, it works bettet for a sec then lags again.
I will install angry birds to see if it is a bug with that game, I played way more demanding games than angrybird without a hickup so it can`t be the GPU.

It actually more demanding then it looks, as it lags on lot of devices, just watch when there is a lot of action how the birds throwing animation is not smooth.
yeah, i'm also on the exynos version, and there is zero lag in any of my games, or anything else i do. the exynos also has better battery life than the snapdragon.

Tried it for 10 levels as you said..no lag what so ever, even filmed it using gamelauncher. Must be some app or some setting that is causing this lag of yours.
https://youtu.be/SJDl_HJkrO0
Played for all 10 levels straight. With 15%battery left and also recorded at the same time.
it super laggy in the video, it plays really bad. to sum it up, the birds animation and game should not fall from 60fps, that what was on mine Note 5 with 5.1.1 but not with 6.0.1.
You affected as well, u might use AZRecorder as it does not have performance penalty.
Anyone else notice the lag when playing games?
Especially Blazblue, Bleach Brave Souls, 3D games, etc?
WELL youve found the right place here!
ROOT SOLUTION (100% LAG FREE)
Buttery JUST like an iphone 7! 100% LAG FREE
1)Install BatMan Rom in the Samsung S8 Rom development (Credits for making the rom!)
2)Install PekakaKernel
3) Root as Usual with magisk
4) After phone has been setup, download Kernel audiutor app
5) Before you play your game, set Minimum and Maximum both to 2314mhz for the BIG cpu & LITTLE cpu & GPU to min & max 572mhz
6) Click on governor and change to "Performance"
7) At the top of the settings page, click Apply on Boot
8)DONE! Enjoy your iphone buttery Gaming experience!
My lag in Bleach Brave souls and every other game has gone. So happy I made the decision to go custom rom & kernel!
NON-ROOT SOLUTION:
(decreases lag by ~40%!)
1)Install new launcher (nova) or anything light weight. Do not use Samsung's stock launcher.
2) Install Samsung's Game Tuner App & set your game settings to HW +5, and your resolution to however you like. I have mine on 100% as it feels snappier.
3) DONE!
you should notice 30-50% less lag and games will be actually be "playable" (remember to always play with game tuner app, with HW+5 setting) but you will still feel the lag here and there and in certain graphic intensive situations, it will still drop frame but its your best non-root solution!
if this worked for you, please donate me a beer or 2 thru my paypal at [email protected] cheers! :laugh:

I would say when it comes to apps specially gaming give at least a month before updates for them start rolling out. Most of them aren't optimised for the Galaxy S8. Once updates start rolling out i believe the experience will get a whole lot smoother.
anybody plays Mobile Legends?
my problem is the game isn't smooth.
there's constantly lag/delay.
I've tried downloading Package Disabler Pro, and disabled GamePad & Game Services.
it did make my game smoother, but the lag/delay still can be felt.
You can really notice the difference when you play something on iOS then play on this phone. Marvel Contest of champions is my go to game. Open that game on this phone and on an iPhone, not onlky does the iphone open is much faster, going through the menus is a breeze.
Tsum Tsum lags on this phone as well compared to the iphone and so does subway surfers. This is pretty pathetic with suppose top of the line specs.
Same here. Playing Fifa Mobile and it lags. This is really frustrating. Such a device and than this. Even on my old huawei p9 no lags. Anybody found a solution?

No, Mali g71 is already supported on Mate9/P10, while Adreno 540 on non Samsung device already runs Riptide Renegade at 2k ultra settings and 60fps for an hour!
The SoC is clearly crippled on the s8 for battery score, high performance mode is BS, you really can do nothing before root to fix it, believe me I have been trying on my friends s8

I have severe problems playing Hearthstone. It sometimes doesn't register clicks and freezes for a couple of seconds.
I have no problems with lag, but I do with crashing. Bleach Brave Souls is constantly crashing. Froze game launcher, no launcher.

High performance mode doesn't make any changes to the cpu or gpu, sadly - only display resolution, brightness, etc. g71 is on mate9/p10, but with less cores = less heat. Also only Samsung goes extreme to gain a little more battery life. Sad as in reality you pay so much for super high end phone and the games play worse vs 3 years old phones. This is unacceptable, but Samsung gets away with it every years and keep doing it.
I think anyone posting here should make the distinction of they have exynos or s835 s8, the exynos version is just pathetic in running any game and if it runs good initially just play 5 minutes before it goes to hell, a phone with such hype and raving reviews should not be given a blind eye about this, it's inexcusable including the UI which lags in every corner
I just hope the s835 version runs things better (I know the UK doesnt)

That's a lie or you just haven't played it on iOS.

Ah, I see. Must be my inability to distinguish lag in my games because of me not ever playing it on ios.
Good talks bro.
Peace in your life.

I've read people that say that G6 lags in games big time. Is it so? Is it not buy if I would want to have some fun in-between moments?

Did those said people say which games? Because I've been using my LG G6 for games too and haven't seen any lag what so ever. And I've played alot of graphic intensive games too as well as casual stuff

Sorry never played those. But sports games like NBA 2k17, Fifa and Real Racing 3, which are all very graphic intensive plays with no lag

Nope. No lag here either and i play some pretty intensive games.
Considering the games you listed are all just simple 2D games it should run them easy and battery is gonna last a long time.
No lag on: DB Dokkan Battle, Fire Emblem: Heroes, Summoner Wars, Pokémon Go and Tap Titans 2

What if those games just can't see 18:9 and are hardcoded to run in 1280x720? And when stretched they stutter somehow?
another example is RR3 which throttles to 18fps often which is way too low for such powerful 821

Well, you basically choose in which aspect ratio you wanna play games that don't support 18:9.
You can choose the usual default format 16:9 (with black left and right borders), optimized format 16.7:9 (with small left and right black borders) or 18:9 (fullscreen). It basically crops the games window to your liking. Really easy to set up and works like a charm.
Most games don't support 18:9 yet, only some new ones do, but i play pretty much all of them in 18:9 np. Performance is the same in either of those ratios, i'm pretty sure, as it only crops the image.
If a game is hard-coded to lower resolution then i'm pretty sure it plays at that resolution and doesn't up-sample. I've played a cpl of games hard-coded to 1080p and they actually still looked great despite running on a 1440p screen. You can still choose aspect ratio tho.
I've had no issues. So far I've played Pokeymanz Go, Magikrap Jump, Devil Twins, Sailor Drops, TriggerKnight, Dungeon Vilage, Game Dev Story, Ninja Village, Plague Inc, Infectonator, Tales of Link with no issues. The only time I've managed to make this thing stutter is when streaming music over BT and the phone switches back and forth between wifi and mobile data a couple times (this happens on my way home in the afternoon. It picks up my 802.11ac, then I whip around a corner and it drops it, whip back and it picks it back up).
I've played King's Raid on lg g6 and its lag pretty bad, i did change resolution , battery saver and graphic quality but still lag big time.
Can any of u guys give it a try?
But other similar games run very smooth which is strange.
Thx

That's probably not weird considering it won't even install for me through Google Play. It's says it's not compatible with my phone.
Doesn't look like a demanding game so it's probably just not optimized.
They claim that in Mushroom Wars Space and Mushroom Wars 2 G6 is especially lagging. Could anyone prove this claim?
What about framed/2? they say G6 is snail laggish in this

I play this game on my LG G6 and I can confirm that it does lag like CRAZY! Especially BD Raid DAMN!!! Feels like its gonna blow. But everything else is super smooth. Weird thing is my Note7 Exynos 8890 runs Kings Raid on max settings super smooth.
I have zero lags. But I have my G6 pretty much debloated and I always disable the, "Game Battery Saver" option. I think that option makes a difference.
But I mostly only play racing games and COD games.

It seems it has problem with 2D games. My wife's G6 lags like crazy in Angry birds pop. I tried to force GPU rendering in developer settings, but didn't help. I even lowered game resolution in battery settings
No lag at all playing pes2018
Yes, it does lag, but only when charging and playing at full resolution. It also only charges at about 1000 miliamps when screen is on. Not a huge deal for me, but I do hope oreo update will fix this.
Mine has this weird thing where a game will be super smooth for about 5 seconds but goes choppy, then I have to pause and resume for it to go back to smooth for another 5s.
This mainly happens for me in RR3, Plague Inc, Beast Quest and a few others.
Must be a software issue as it's obviously capable enough hardware. Hope Oreo fixes this!
Can't deal with low frame rates!!
Anyone else had this issue?
For me every game is working quite well except Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Which I really like so it's quite annoying.
