HD2 Poor performance. CPU or GPU Slowdown with battery.

Well, I have evidence that the phone slowdown the CPU or the GPU or both when the power is only the battery. You can try it...

Open the video with Coreplayer. You'll see that there're lag.
Now Plug-in the phone to the charger and Open the video again with Coreplayer. The Video plays smoothly without lag.
How we can make that the phone don't slowdown???
I'll wait your opinions.
Cheers!

Strictly no difference here.
It lags just a little in high motion, but it's actually pretty good given the format. And great quality.

First of all, you must see the video in full screen.
Look at time 00:38 seconds when the head of the robot closes. With battery there´s a lot of lag, but when you plug-in to the charger is really smooth and no lag.
Cheers!

Nope, smooth both with and without for me.

ok, what rom/radio do you use?
Anyone more test it?

Maybe you're using some sort of old stock rom that for some ungodly reason has this "feature" enabled?

Artemis 3.7

Anyone more test it?

Coreplayer can play it.
Try it with your phone plug with the charger and tell me if lag go out and video plays smoothly.
Cheers.

[Q]run games at 720p on fhd devices

I've noticed some lag on my galaxy s4 during games, I think it would be much smoother if we can make the games run at 720p instead of native 1080p resolution.
is there any way to do that?

Lag? What games are u playing? My games run buttery smooth and I'm not rooted.

MXP aggressively throws out apps?

I read one review (http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-x-play-review) that suggests the MXP aggressively unloads apps when memory's getting short - more so than you expect from a phone with 2GB of RAM. Example was streaming services that stopped playing...
Anyone else seen this behavior (that they've not seen with the same apps running in other 2GB phones)?

Never had any issues here, having at least 10+ apps open and no lag noticed

+1 same as brom25

When I watch videos on my mxp, it sometimes stutters. It never stuttered on my nexus 5 .

What app do you use for watching videos? I'm using MX Player with no stutter, not the latest version. Videos are stored on my external SD card, also have watched a ton of YouTube videos without any ill effects.

Thanks
OP was more about apps being thrown out of memory, not so much other performance issues. For example
Start up whatever apps you usually have running all the time
Start up CamerAlert (finds speed cameras)
Start up Spotify and start streaming over the Internet
Start up Google Maps and start navigating in foreground
Does Spotify now get thrown out of memory/stop streaming or do any of the other apps stop working/get unloaded?

I haven't had any problems like that. A few times I've had minimal lag but I was kind of expecting that when I bought this phone to be honest.

Samsung Game Tuner app to run games in lower resolution!

Samsungs Game Tuner was originally made for the S6 and Note 5 but it now supports the Note 4 and other devices. Without rooting to use nomone or xposed app settings and fiddling with dpi and resolution, you can lower games resolutions to achieve higher fps or save battery.
(FYI to those who disabled or removed galaxy app store) Requires Game Service from galaxy app store to run this app.

After trying the app I think it may need a DVFS disabler or some optimization because I was only able to get smoother game play on Modern Combat 5 online when drastically lowering resolution to extra low which looked very pixelated (Offline play was buttery smooth on the custom low resolution @ 60fps). Lowering the resolution to the medium setting for the Walking Dead Season 2 and Real Racing 3 resulted in seemingly less fps. I know Android's optimizations aren't the best but that seems backwards to me. Unfortunately there are no options to force anti aliasing. Go ahead and give it a try and let me know what you think and be sure to leave a comment on the Play store or Galaxy app store and maybe Samsung will notice more users (Note 4 in particular but seems apparent for all devices judging by the comments.) and help.

So far I tried it on Real Racing 3. It made little to no difference, lower settings just made the game worse. The only game it really made a difference on was on Rop. It was slow on my Note 4 and now on medium settings with 60fps it's very smooth. I have Sniper Fury installed on my phone also but it ran smooth before using Game Tuner so I didn't mess with the settings for that game.

Resolution capped to 1080p and 720p in games

So it's been like this for pretty much forever on past Samsung phones: most games were capped to 1080p whereas some like clash Royale were capped to 720p. You could back in the Android 8 days use game tuner to raise the resolution to the godly 1440p, but I didn't do it much because it lagged some games on my s8+. Fast forward 2 years later and on my s10+ it was the same until I got the Android 10 update which finally allowed me to play my games in 1440p. Then I rooted my phone and installed ambasadii rom (idk if the rom matters) and I now have my game's resolution lowered again. Force uninstalling Game optimizing service would get by this restriction but it removes some important features integrated in the whole game launcher game booster system. So my question is, has any of you guys had this problem and fixed it, what could I do I pretty much tried everything up to this point.
