Games....

While most games work I have a few that don't.
Asphalt 5 or 6 don't work... most likely a build. prop issue.
Heavy Gunner has an xy axis issue that is reported to be an ICS issue.
GTA III does work.
Has anyone moved the build.prop to get more games to install?

Not sure about build prop but I can say that Nova2 HD doesn't work (Gameloft sucks), Shadowgun force closes sometimes. Dead Space, Temple Run, Angry Birds Space and N64 emulator all work well.

Plants vs Zombies doesn't work on my Tab 2 7.0

it works on mine...try to download the latest version, try the HD version, i'm using it.

GTAIII only barely works for me. It ends up freezing the controls, so if I was running, he just keeps running as I am still touching the controls. The controls also seem to lag greatly causing me to get my butt kicked when I am trying to mug people.

i'm considering buying this tab and games if definatly an interest. Was wondering has anyone tried a PSemulator on the tab? Wonder how that would play with something like say, FF7 also curious how Mini Motor Racing plays on the tab.

I removed it and re-installed it. Still doesn't work. It downloads the levels, goes to the PopCap screen then hangs forever, sometimes it makes it to the next screen (Loading...), then hangs.
I can't find a HD version, just the regular pay for version. It works just fine on my Atrix 2.

Real Racing 2 doesn't work. It installs but gets a server error 5002 when launched. I bought the Tab just for this awesome game!

I got a bunch of Gameloft games to work, by changing the build.prop to Galaxy Nexus. Same GPU as our tab, and high resolution, so the games should be optimized. Unzip this and overwrite the one inside /system/
Make a backup first, this might cause problems down the line.
EDIT: Yeah this kills sound. So, after you change your build.prop, download the games, install the data and restore your backed up build.prop. Sound will work again. The games will also still work.
There is an app on the market called "Device Spoofer" that makes this process easier.

That message you got is called a "force close" Some apps do this s8metimes especially if there are many apps fighting for Ram, thats when you need the multirasking butt8n, which looks like 2 frames with an overlap, selecting "Remove all" will clear up Ram.
Thats all i really know, feel free to PM me for further issues.

hi!
PvZ works great for me, I am using version 1.3.16 with included data files to sd card.
however, it is always asking for network, just for starting the app.

GTA 3 work fine for me CM 10/1 and aopk oc kernel :good:

do you guys experience any lag in games on custom or official firmware and which firmware is best for gaming? I will get gtab 2 7.0 in few days so I thought it would be good to ask.

Nop, i can run Modern combat 4, GTA, dead trigger, spider man etc perfectly without any lag, using cm10.1 but with a official Rom it should the same.

The Dark Knight Rises Lags so much

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.

fruit ninja lags a lot

Can anyone tell me the reason why fruit ninja lags in my s4??? Is it the problem with the game or is it the problem because my phone is rooted ??? Can anyone confirm it???

Just tried and it played just fine. Never heard that root would slow down the phone so I guess the problem is elsewhere. Fw is ME2.

did you download it from the playstore, or from somewhere else....?

Neither of those reasons should be a problem. Fruit Ninja never even lagged on my S2.

I dont know what was the reason i formatted my cell and installed it again from play store and now the lag is gone but me really disappointed with my mobile it is not what i expected

Even the camera app keep restarting and my mobile too hangs and restarts some times ....

[Q] Games like Temple Run,Temple Run 2,GTA Vice City Lags [Minor Lags[

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've just installed it onto my S8 and it plays smoothly. You must have a fault somewhere.

Any battery optimization is running? Any power saving is on? Also under settings>device maintenance>performance mode - try other settings and see.

Have you played with developer options? As another user commented, it won't hurt to show the phone to Samsung center.
Exynos is usually good, I like it better than Qualcomm version. In US we have Snapdragon version.

Looks like you have done enough of troubleshooting...I had a phone form UK once and when I called Sony, they told me that phone is international and they won't have parts in US to fix it.
1) You mentioned something about "factory settings", did you mean you did factory reset?
2) Have you also try to re-flash firmware using Samsung software, there was an option for this. Before we had Samsung Kies to do it, I just don't know if it still available for S8. When you do factory reset, it just erases your data and starts from the beginning, but re-flashing is much better, because it flashes the whole firmware and "may" help you eliminate issues.

Right! There could be that GPU has a bad thermal paste and possibly gets hot... Oh, while typing this I got an idea. Try getting an app that shows GPU temperature of your device while lets say you load a game and try to play it for 2-5 minutes. Then with that app, measure before and after gameplay. We need a game that is GPU intensive such as Modern Combat 5 and Need for Speed - No Limits or something similar. Then compare with other users.

I have the model g950f and I installed several firmwares from different countries and operators and I also installed a few roms. I have no bixby installed, the system is highly debloated and y only have a few apps installed but i always notice a slight delay, lagg etc.
With the s7 I always have about 2gb free ram and with s8 I'm always under 1gb ram.. I think that's the problem. The truth, my s7 is much more fluid In some scenarios, like in games.
