[Q] GPU driver problem?

First of all, sorry for my english.
I think there's a GPU driver problem. There's a lot of FC with a lot of games.
Okay, it could be the developer but why just the SGS2 have this problem?
The games:
Defensoid
HexDefense (now it's incompatible with SGS2 on the Market because of the problems)
Cut the Rope (when using rotating wheels in gift box)
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Just recieved an e-mail from the HexDefense developer. And yes, I thought right, there's a lot of bugs in the Galaxy S Gingerbread update and there's a lot of bug in the SGS II Gingerbread sw. So Samsung did it again. I selled my SGS, I've buyed an SGS2 but maybe this is the last time I buyed from Samsung. The hardware is good, but the SW is a crap again and again.
"Unfortunately, you're right - the game crashes a lot on the Galaxy S2. It used to work fine, but they introduced Gingerbread and the Gingerbread update for the S2 added a few major bugs. Hence, we've stopped selling it for that phone.
I'm working to find workarounds for the bugs that have been introduced in the Gingerbread update and hopefully we can get it working on the S2 again soon. You're definitely right- a lot of people use the S2!
Thanks, I'll keep you posted,
- Ben Gotow
HexDefense Developer"

Try playing with sound off, it might not be gpu related as other games also crash when sound is on.

You should be right. They f.cked up the sound driver. I turn off the sound and music and all games I mentioned is just works. But it's a shame on Samsung and they have to solved this problem. It's not a solution that playing w/o sound on the high-end phone. Anyway thank you!

ZeptoLab confirmed too:
Thank you for informing us about the problem!
We have received several similar reports from the Samsung Galaxy S2
owners, and we are doing our best to fix this issue in the upcoming update.
At the moment you can overcome this problem by turning the game sounds OFF
in the main menu of the game.

[Q] Asphalt 5 and Asphalt 6 on the x10i

Hi,
I loved to play Asphalt 5 on my x10i when on Froyo, but since I updated to gingerbread. It seems to have lost its sound. The sound effects just decide to stop playing mid game, and the music also does not play.
does anyone have a fix for this?
Also why cant Asphalt 6 not run on the x10? Is it only me? When I install it it shows up with messed up colours and the frame rate is so slow that I have to force close it.
/end rant.
So my question is does anyone else have the no music problem on asphalt 5 and does anyone have a fix for it?
and am I the only one experiencing asphalt 6 problems with my x10
thanks.

you should install custm roms...try techdevil's gaming rom...
abd you may want to know I've heard even asphalt7 runs on x10.

yes I also wanted that but that ROM looks to be abandoned.
The developer has lost interest in it and is no longer answering questions and not giving solutions to problems faced. It also appears to be buggy and this looks to be the final version of the ROM.
I was just hoping some one here would have found a fix for the asphalt5/asphalt6 problem..

Something must be wrong with your phone. Rogue apps? in my own experience and also watching tons of reviews online this phone refuses to lag.

I only feel lag when turn on power saving mode and use touchwiz scroll effect
What your device chip: exynos or sd

rofl, you got some serious issues to deal with. don't know what you did but seems like you f'ed up your phone. factory reset to default everything.

Can you take a video of the lags and upload it to YouTube or a similar platform?
I'd love to see what kind of lags you get.
Is it dropping frames during animations and while scrolling through applications?
Or just delays when opening an application or the recent applications menu?

don't know if it's troll or not..u can see how many threads he make just to post problems with his note..battery issue, lags everywhere, how to wipe etc..
if he really had that all then maybe it's defective unit i think..he should go to samsung and ask them in there..and compare with the test unit in there..

well..if u think ur device was lag..try to go to samsung store and compare with the test unit in there, and if it's bad then maybe u get defective unit..just change it with new one

I've got the same feeling after switching from note 3. samsung is used to launch highgly unoptimized firmwares with new flagships. we must wait 2-3 firmwares before all things get right. maybe lollypop

Ok
So the best solution for you is exchange the new one
Maybe your note get some problem
Good luck:thumbup:

Bad game performance

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

I tried this and this fixed the brightness and color saturation issue but doesn't fix the lag problem

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.

Maybe... not sure it's just so annoying lol

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).

Some games run super smooth on the Snapdragon version and others lag like hell. Asphalt 8 and Clash Royal run extremely smooth yet Hearthstone lags like no tomorrow.

That bug applies to all 6.0.1 sammy devices. Ive seen this on note 5 and now s7edge. Guys please complain to samsung

I wonder if it has to do with the high Android System drain SD variant are getting. I doubt it's something we can fix ourselves atm thought.

Not entirely true. The Exynos variant doesn't seem to have that issue. Which makes me think that it's an optimization issue.
