Games not working as they are supposed to...

Hi friends, this is my first thread in this forum and i'm a complete noob in android.
i got my note 2 on 7 dec and it has been running nicely but i got a problem from some 1 to 2 days ago, i have some games in my phone and have been playing since i got the phone but now there's a problem, when i play each game it gets stuck for few milliseconds then running with more than normal speed and this process is going on continuously(i.e. stopping for some ms and running with more than normal speed again and again, so we can say in general that the games are running with more than normal speed)
Please help me on this one and provide some solution, thanks in advance
[extra details: i tried uninstalling some games when i thought it might be their problem, but it didn't fix the problem.]
(i can add a video if you want)

Stock rom or custom. .. kernel? ... what games is this happening on. ..etc are the details that are needed

the rom i have is the one i got originally with my phone(android 4.1.1), i haven't updated it, kernel version is 3.0.31, and this is happening on all of the games.

Power saver mode on?... switch it off if you want to play graphics intense games. ....
Else try factory reset

nope power saver mode is not on, tried switching off but even small games were not working normally, i'll try factory reset when there's no option available(i've downloaded more than 2gb in there so i think it'd take time to download that again on a 2g connection lol), anyway thanks for your help but please do try to think of any other option thats left

I think I might be having this same problem, though not with the same gravity as you do. For instance, sometimes while playing something like Temple Run, the game will get stuck for a few milliseconds and then as soon as it starts again the game would run on super speed for a few milliseconds, thus essentially resulting in the death of my character as I wouldn't be able to control it. It's almost as if the system is compensating for being sruck fir those few milli seconds. But this happens once in maybe 10 games, and I haven't yet seen it in any other game. This never used to happen when I was playing the same game on any other android devices I had. Maybe it's a bug in some note 2 decices, or maybe a bug in the game itself?

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

can this be because of some app i installed?
and @SacGuru in my phone it is happening the same but really fast and continuously so you know there's continuity but because of constantly getting stuck it does not make the game look good and also this happening all of the games, and when i tried uninstalling and installing again it didnt solve my problem but what it did was delete all my savegames

oh hey guys i just figured out the problem, sorry for your time lol, it was an app which used to start power saving mode on its own i turned it off a few times and then i got suspicious and found the app and changed its settings and now everything is working fine
BTW thanks for your help

I told you so ...lol. ....anyways good to be of help

No real racing 3 for tab 2 :( [SOLVED]

Real Racing 3 was released for android yesterday and the market shows it is incompatible with tab 2......
very disappointing :crying: . I tried installing it from other sources and the game works fine but car textures are missing. I am sure it isnt a GPU problem cuz devices like xperia s and galaxy nexus which have same gpu are supported....Hope EA resolves it soon....
So has anyone else had a different experience....Plz share...
EDIT: Anyone wanting to try to play the game can download the apk from here, let the app download the data ad you're good to go..
Link for RR3 apk : http://www18.zippyshare.com/v/33637152/file.html
EDIT 2 : Problem has been solved... see DroidLover's last post on page 2.
And credits to lesserico for the patch

Samsung's stock ROM's are good but Cyanogenmod's is better. If you want better graphics you should install their m1 release of CM10.1. I'm currently on that rom. (If you have the p3113, you will need to install the p3110's ROM, I changed the build prop. Model number back to p3113)

Well EA hasn't even made Real Racing 2 compatible with our tab till now so why will they even bother with RR3....
Maybe in a future update, while fixing for other devices, our tab may also benefit from it...
Also i saw this article on one X forum for RR3 :

it's a patch of some sort given at the end of the first post... is it possible to have something to fix the textures using something like this???

Hmm, then i think there's some problem with stock rom itself...Can't blame the gpu for bad textures cuz xperia S has same GPU and I have seen it run perfectly.. And as i have come to learn that it is indeed working on cm10.1 rom pretty well, so maybe Samsung rom/ unupdated gpu drivers in stock kernel are the culprit...
Anyways i have no idea What to do next..
Maybe its time to flash cm10.1

It's not a good news

Problem in cordy 2 as well
Well i'm facing texture problems in cordy 2 as well,game is free on market...
Plz check and confirm...
Cordy's body is purple without textures.....

And car textures????are the good in cm10.1 or same as stock
And here is fix for textures problems:
First download this:
download
Rar file will have 3 folders for high,mid,xtrahigh
Choose whatever resolution you want( then open it and enter to next folder according to your row or na versions)
In that folders you will get some files copy all and paste here
Sdcard/android/data/real racing 3 sd data folder/.depot/eds
And make sure that you took a backup of all files those were in that folder for case if anything goes wrong

Initial thoughts just received it

I still have my non rooted note 2. I had a nightmare reinstalling my back ups the ones on my memory card could be found .Thank for my phone explorer that saved the day for some .
Also Kies didn't work with this at all it days I need a new version which I could find.a whole day wasted so far .(this is one area where iPhone is leaps above.)
Seems to take longer to turn on.
Overall I like it and the back is good non slippery.
Haven't had time to check it all or the pen apps but I few things I notice .
No Polaris office but there's a Polaris viewer only but I can't find it in the apps.no radio.and the my files manager seems complex.
I have a gps app called Osmand from my old note and the maps where on the sd card but it doesn't seem to find it.
In fact only my music and photos where recognized none of the data or backups where recognized.
I'm using nova launcher but the touch wiz is real fast now .
Screen is great too early to tell about battery .
Haven't tested the camera yet .
But one bug thing for me exchange active sync is white and Grey now much better to see.
The one thing that has left a bad taste is the back ups I used my back up pro to my memory card plus even nova back up couldn't be found but Kies has to be rewriten.
Please ask any questions and I'll try to help as I still have my old note.
Also my bookmarks didn't come over using the standard samsung browser en en though it's synced.
Sorry if this post is disjointed just wanted to update you all

Some questions
Hi mate, I want to ask you about the speaker performance (sound volume and quality) of Note 3 compared to Note 2 because there are some contradictions between which one is better and also about the sensitivity of touch screen and stylus! Don't forget to update us about the battery performance of your Exynos powered Note 3 and contrast it with your Note 2! Thanks and have fun with it:good:

just want to confirm. any missing s-pen feature when changing to nova launcher from stock tw?

What about this? Does your box have this sticker?

Its been abt 12 hours I m using Note 3 and have been a user of Note 2 also the speakers are better then Note 2
Plus its placed beside charging point which is very good and the sound is very clear unlike Note 2 where keeping it on a table blocks the sound and makes it choppy
I loved the Keyboard its superb
Over all the device is very fast not lagged even once so far half the Ram free if all apps are closed
The Touch is very responsive and the screen is flat
One more thing this device is not for some one who wants more flexiblty as its little big and ideal if used with 2 hands
Hope this helps

My G2 D801 with KK lags on low requirement games

Hey I'm back once again with another issue I am really surprised to be seeing LAG or FPS skip on games like temple run 2 or subway surfers when I get no lag on any of my GTA games (I own all 3) the only time GTA starts to lose fps is if I play for an hour PR so logically but like I said I get fps lag on those games that don't require a good CPU and yet even with a beastly phone they lag .. So can anyone help me fix this or know how because its pretty frustrating how one can't play a game like subway surfer without losing his mind ... ADDITITIONAL INFO: the UI of the phone is really fast and I have no problems web browsing or going on apps like fb.

I ended up just turning it off again because my CPU got really hot fast while doing basic things like web browsing or listening to music etc so now that its off don't overheat really fast which is strange because its supposed to monitor the CPU .. Thanks for attempting to help though

I'm considering going back to Jelly Bean from what I remember the phone UI was slower than but my battery life was really good I got 6-7 hours now I get max: 4 and a half hours if I'm lucky .. And also I I'm pretty sure I did not have any sort of gaming issues on low requirement games.. Is this a good idea.. I'll do it in the weekend because my friend knows how to go back to stock .. I'm not really good with these sort of things Lol

Viper replacement for non rooted users

I spent a couple days testing out different equalizers as I wasn't satisfied with the built in one and spoiled by viper.
This is the best one I've found and I thought I'd share.
Equalizer and Bass Booster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=music.bassbooster.equalizer
Music player of choice: black player, poweramp, stellio(best ui IMO)
Side note: Check out the Veva s220 headphones for better sound than beats and heavier bass!! They are cheap and the battery lasts longer than any Bluetooth headphones over ever had. Bose, Beats and others I've owned over the years don't come close. They're on Amazon.com.

Thanks for sharing! I'm rooted right now rocking Viper but very well may flash back to stock again soon. Gonna need something like this LOL

Rooted on Note7 or something else. Viper is literally the ONLY reason rooting matters to me.... I would kill for a non root fix.

I tried this and it is like the others for me. There just doesn't seem to be a replacement for Viper. All these EQ's do the same thing for me. If you turn up the base for example, it muffles or turns down the treble. It is like it is robbing from one to give to the other instead of just turning up the band you are trying to adjust.
Thanks for sharing though, the UI is nice and simple.
I just downloaded Poweramp Pro again and used it to play some saved music. Its EQ works like Viper and doesn't suffer from the same issue I talked about above. It will be great for saved music but I listen to a lot of streamed music from Google Play Music and some Pandora.

What's up @chipworkz.. last seen OK on the n5.
Hope life has been treating you well.
I agree after using my n7, viper is truly a need for this phone. And the play sound from the earpiece mod that @SashhaFranko made. I am hoping a more stable method of root is achieved, seems buggy for now. Check ya later.

Rooted on Note 7. Using the leaked Sprint firmware. It's not that bad really. No WiFi Calling or VoLTE (can live without personally). And of course no Samsung Pay or Android Pay. Everything else seems pretty decent thus far.

Do you have to do any modifications to keep the phone running smooth? Like the S7 edge. Phone would get locked into a bootloop every week or 2

Hard to say. Only been running that leaked firmware since Saturday night but it's been pretty stable/smooth for me thus far. I never had an S7 or S7 Edge but from what I'm reading this leak/root is better than what they were facing.

First let me say there is currently no replacement for Viper for non root devices. Nothing comes close. It's the only reason I've rooted after the Note 2. Would be great if Google purchased them and applied Viper directly to Android.
I prefer a EQ app that can be used for ALL sound sources that can be played by Android. To that end, I've used Equalizer for those times when I couldn't install Viper.

Im using the alpha version of poweramp with 24 bit enabled sounds like viper too when activated

That app just uses the built in eq, adding some presets to it. Unfortunately there is no replacement for Viper.
