[Q] Gaming

Hi,
So i was thinking about buys a optimus 4x to replace my old android but i would like to know if u guys would recommend this phone for gaming, i want to plug it on an tv via hdmi and use my ps3 controller to play on it when im travelling.
Know that u guys know the purpose of the phone would u recommend it to me ? Or should i look for another one ?
Thx

Game play is pretty smooth for me. But i find battery drains very fast when playing hd games.
Just ordered 1 mhl hdmi cable once i get then i can check and confirm its performance on my 50inch lg tv with my ps3 controller.
Cable is already shipped i should get it by tomorrow.

gaming is quite smooth but not very good. Even few good games are not officially supported, though runs good if you get from an warez site.If you want gameing, go for nexus 4 or optimus g or htc one x+. Good luck.

There is always support issue between known brands like there are many games supports only tegra devices..also for many games (check TegraZone app from playstore) it supports more detailed gaming graphics like Dead Trigger just google and you might get to see..what i am tryimg to say else let me know i'l share youtube link with you
Its not lagy for me but agn may it is for other games i have not tried yet.

I´ve searched some videos on youtube and I saw that is nfs mw and gta vice city have some lag during tha play and that worries me a bit because this is the type of games i would play a lot

If you want to play the games you should buy galaxy s3. 4x is a good phone but games on this phone are lagging. Or my phone is not original 4x xD.

Hmm...i was playing Shadow Gun DeadZone multiplayer game at high detail display without any lag.
But i assume some device might be lagging a bit.
For you i`ll try nfs mw tomorrow n let you know how it performs.

I'am played few games and all wouldn't work well...
For example NFS MW, GTA VC, Beach Buggy Blitz, Zombie Driver THD.

Well-- i think ppl have diffrent thoughts about the gaming Some have lagg and some don't.
The games I play is: GTA:VC, Dead Trigger,Subway Surfers,Temple Run, Zombieville and Sword & Sworcery.
- Dead Trigger: The game is playable.. but it does have some fps drops and lagg.
- GTA:VC 1.0.2: This game is allmost not playable, it does have fps drops,some sound laggs and lagg spikes
- Subway Surfers: The game is playable, but has some lagg.
- Temple Run: This game runs fine
- Sword & Sworcery: No problems here, but then again.. not a demanding game
- Zombieville: No problems here, but then again.. not a demanding game
My phone is stock and not rooted. I tried to root and OC.. but to be honest, it didn't feel like it was doing any good.
My friends HTC One X runs these games with no fps drops or lagg, but his phone has JellyBean (android 4.1).
While this phone has Ice Cream Sandwich (android 4.0).. And there is roumers about a JellyBean update in Q1 2013 (or january).
This might fix these issues
Hope it helped.

I can see laggs in that video, you can play the game.. But the experience isn't that great. Atleast for me that is
Did u play with everything maxed out?
how long did u play the game? Like in sessions ?
Did u check these?
Nexus 4
or
Htc One X
This last one has the same CPU and GPU but runs it a tiny bit better, but there is some lagging there too
But then again.. this should be because of the JellyBean update.

I would say near on useless for gaming, even hill climb racer is laggy,

Hill climbing? Seriously?!

i dont see much difffence from that htc one x video, to my video. it runs a little smoothier may be, but VC is completely playable on my 4X, almost lag free... i playd with maxed out option but resolution on 86% as far as i remeber. i play like 30 minutes ou maybe more with always the same result. The only bad thing is the heat....

Try to put it on max.. Im only playing on 100%-100%-max.. if you put the resolution any lower it looks alittle washed out
30mins isn't that much, try to be on a visit to someone old or someone in your family.. it will suddently be 1-2hours.. And in this time.. believe me.. sound spikes and laggs occour more than it should and yeh.. the heat is alittle unpleasent.
Anyway.. I did say this.. : for some it laggs and for some it dosn't.. it seems like it has some varity..

I tried nfs mw..it run too smooth..but i still havenot tried multiplayer mode will update on tat later. I dont have gta vc i`ll see if i buy 1 i`ll update(its expensive game)
Friends i want to know how ur battery performs specially when playing these games? Mine gets heated(common in almost all devices) and battery drains on per minute basis n its annoying.
Apart from games battery backup is good.

You are the first person who is claiming NFS MW to be smooth:/ You can even see it in that LG optimus 4X HD gaming video.. that it's not smooth! thats for sure
Battery: Normal use.. phones, messaging, some web browsing here and there, music here and there, standby and some wifi.. I can easily have my phone on for 2days
Battery while gaming: It depends rly.. Sometimes it 's 3-4hours but sometimes its like 4-6hours.. rly depends on how demanding the game is.. if you have data/wifi on etc

Yes every game runs smooth. Dead Trigger contract Killer zombie 2 gta 3 modern combat 3 and 4 need fir speed most wanted all run without issue and many more. I set my 4x to 1500 MHz on performance with lowest to 1500 MHz as well with setcpu and i have no issue to play any game I want. And the only time I had lag was when listening to music it jumped like crazy and stuttered but ever since setcpu is installed set to lowest to 100mhz I have no more stutter when listen to music.

Well battery is pretty normal when gaming that it will drop pretty quick. Otherwise I have no issues. Last 16 17 hours on heavy use as long as I don't use cellar data. Wifi seems fine but cellar data is a freaking battery killer.

O2X + ICS + lag ?

So... I've now given my HTC EVO 3D to my wife as a gift (not wrapped lol.. I just said she could have it so she has a nice phone)... and I've gone back to her old phone which is a Sony Vivaz. Now the only reason I got shot of the O2X in the first place was due to it lagging after even half a day, and the EVO 3D had 1GB of RAM and it doesn't lag at all. so.... basically.. now there is a stock LG ICS version (I assume there is looking at other threads?) has this resolved the lag? When I say lag, I mean it not even being able to play video's smoothly, and games nose diving in performance etc.
If this is the case... I'll probably be on the look-out for another O2X as I enjoyed having a nice bright screen and an HDMI port

stock rom lags, but custom im sure is smooth and with no lags.

Prior to ICS the custom rom's/kernel's lagged badly as well.. like they were out of memory.... are you 100% they don't lag? i.e. you don't have to reset your phone daily just to watch a movie or play a 3D game?

well take into account that the device only has 348mb ram? So It's a bit memory hungry but ICS performance overall is quite nice

This is not true. Do you have direct experience? What rom do you use?
I'm using 30B stock LG in Italy and I must say that I finally can touch high smoothness and fast performance.
Never found this with custom roms.

The stock fettled rom always worked best for me. I tried stock kernel and stefans kernel and some others but it didn't make any difference to the lag that happened after a random amount of time (within a day). The phone itself would be fine, just video and game performance sucked after a while. To be clear.. on a fresh restart/boot of the phone the performance was EXCELLENT... just it degraded after a relatively short time, and was the deciding factor for selling it. If this has been resolved with ICS I would REALLLLLY like to know.

I did take that into account. I found the best experience was with the fettled stock italian rom last year before ICS was released, but the phone always suffered with slow down, even within an hour of turning it on if I did something intensive like play a game or watch a video. It took half a day to a day to slow down if not doing anything intensive. It was REALLLLLY aggravating.
I do realise it has limited memory, but given it wasn't running ICS it really should have performed better for longer as such. If Tegra 2 needed more memory to continue running that that's what it should have had. It's an amazing phone (for the money) otherwise I thought.
If people who use there phone for video playback and say... playing a tegra 2 game like dungeon defenders could come in and comment on if performance degrades to getting REALLY bad frame rates after a while, I would really appreciate it. If you can go for a month or something playing games and watching video's without an issue, I REALLY like to hear about it.

@Scougar,
I'm very sorry for you.
I bought 2x on oct 2011, not for playing games as first goal, I have been happy with 20S (removing some unused system apps) for many months and now I am with 30B.
Good luck.

dont know how anyone can say that cm10 is smooth for example (havent tried stock ics yet tho), because its just so awfully slow for me, lags more than cm7, im sure its because of higher ram consumption. even with swap partition enabled. i mean it IS very smooth, when it works that is, but it quite often has these awful slowdowns for me when the phone just puts me on ignore mode lol
i mean its pathetic, cant even have 2 tabs open in chrome without having to reload the pages after switching tabs. movies and games work great tho, never had any issues, on any android version. best thing about this phone really.

Look i understand what you are saying but the weird thing is with the build from jan 2013+ the performance is just amazing..
And I never experienced a bsod nor a freeze nor a slowdown and not even a single fc i really don't knoa but some people have strange p990's or i just got myself a special one eheh.

lol, sorry for me? You shouldn't be, because I 'upgraded' to the EVO 3D, on an amazing sim-free deal for it, and it worked perfectly for me, without issue and had ICS for months before LG. I'm just considering coming back to the O2X as I really loved it apart from the lag. I would prefer to use a stock modded rom so that I get full functionality rather than fast performance and missing options.
I will keep my eyes open for one.. but they are pretty expensive for such an old phone (which is weird).

I am running CM10 on the new boot loader with custom kernel and its darn near perfect for me. Smooth as butter and battery life is as good as pure CM7 ROM.

Running on CM10 with ICS bootloader....It is very smooth & lag free for me

Agreed,Stock ICS lags very bad,installed CM10 and the phone is damn smooth!

No lags with stock LG ICS 30B, very smooth full functons and stable.
Maybe in some months we'll have a stable CM10.1; CM7 took at least six months to be a stable version (missing of some functions).

No that one doesn't lag, not all games are affected, gangstar, wild blood and mc3/4 run fine, amazing Spiderman lags terribly, asphalt 7 stutters and nova 3 lags heavily during firefights. The phone has 1GB ram, that's not a problem, and a quad core processor is better than my laptop, it's gameloft and their bugs, although I've managed to avoid the unlucky devices until now :/

its not the ram that can be the issue but if you have 5 active apps that try to sync the wel like facebook twitter and so on they might cause stutters in the game.
but ill try to get my hands on the games you said and try those.
but not all can be obtained illigaly and im not buying these games just to test it hehe.

Just look at the reviews, everyone with the 4x has the same complaints. Someone said things can be improved by flashing custonexus but as a working man I need a stable release first. As for background apps I can play mc4 with no lag even if play store is downloading in the background and with facebook running, its not a problem

Gaming and Early Jelly Bean Testers

Hi guys,
I don't have time really to read how to install leaked JB and I will wait for OTA, so I will be straight: how about gaming?
I have latest ICS V10H and I have facing problems in Most Wanted, GTA III, Vice City and Real Racing 3 (laggg). Maybe these problems are not so annoying in JB? Maybe you use JB and some apps to walk-around lags without losing graphics like in Real Racing 3 or Most Wanted?
Thanks

I use rooted v20a with ultra mode in gamebooster from google play, most games that were laggy on stock are playable with this setup, even nova 3 only lags a little

I played it and it was so so, all in all playable, but didn't check graphics level, now since I was reflashing this pre-beta JB I must download data again and will report back with more details.
EDIT: Downloaded data again...can't see level of graphics toggle??? Fame rate is cca. 25fps...
p.s. when there in no thermal protection activated cca <46 C° GPU performance is better cca. 5-10%...but that last only few minutes until thermal protection enables and ruins it

On v10d with gamebooster set to ultra only dead trigger, nova 3 and spiderman lag for me, and only spiderman is frequent, others are just little stutters here and there. Most wanted only lags when race starts. I believe this is.because 10d has no thermal protection but i have only slight temp increase and very little impact on battery
EDIT: i see now in /d folder there is thermal protection but parameters are not as restrictive

Gaming problems, lag, low fps v20A

Hello,
I've just got a LG 4X so I'm new on this forum, but it's not my first day on XDA I had an Xperia S before which has worse performance without a doubt.
After I got the phone I jumped straight to gaming and experienced something not so pleasant... GTA Vice City 1.03 is unplayable, it runs like 10 to 20 fps with jumps to 60, then it lags again, after that I downloaded Real Racing 3 from market, it runs 5 fps at most... I can't play using OpenGL with FPSE ( neither could I with SXS but it had better fps) . Dead Trigger works as it should, but it lags too...
I have rooted v20A, switching governor to performance didn't help at all.
Is everything ok with my phone ? I haven't tried gaming on ICS since I flashed v20A as soon as I got the phone.
Damn, I wanna play this GTA sooo much and I can't, even after reducing all the settings.
Thanks, any help and your experiences appreciated
PS: Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.

It's the same thing with me. A cell phone done for gaming is not good for games at all. This is a big problem with this phone. If I had known this, I wouldn't have buy this phone. Other phones not done for gaming have a better performance. I'm experiencing lag sometimes even with temple run.

My setup is v10d with gamebooster, hard gaming and ram tweaks enabled, most games run well with this setup. Only one I had trouble with is spiderman 1.1.7 so i downgraded to 1.1.4 and now it only stutters occasionally. The problem is the v10h firmware, the heat protection is.too aggressive and kills gaming performance

VC runs smooth with few fps drops.... totally playable...and im on ICS.
Realracing 3 lags on ICS, bu some did say it didnt on JB, weird.
Anyway, on ICS i did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158231&page=7, and the lag is completely gone, and in my opinion graphics are pretty much the same.

Which app do you use to know how many fps your games are running at?

Damn again, your Vice City runs buttery smooth compared to mine I have very often and major frame drops and stuttering Real racing is 5 fps, I'm trying to lower the graphics settings, will report afterwards. I'm thinking beta of IB has ome bad 3d drivers or something, I'm hoping for custom roms with unlocked bl

Not for me! GTA3, Asphalt, NFS ... they are all unplayable with V10A,B,C,D,E ... Whatever ... GTA3 have really big slowdowns on my o4x, even with v20a. Especially Tegra 3 games lag a lot :/ don't know why ...
on my nexus 7 the games have no lag problems or poor framerate.
i flashed 10 times, i reseted my o4x a couple of times but nothing helps. nearly every game lag like hell.
(sorry for my english) ^^

do you have latest version of the game /s ?
****, i ordered new O4XHD for gaming because of tegra 3 ( and on htc one x games running smoth) and now this bad news... damn it

I also use gamebooster but its only really needed on nova 3 in my case. 20a is worse than 10d. Asphalt had a recent update that fixed lag, so did mc4. Only lags I have is slight stutters in spiderman v1.1.4, NFS (only at race start) and nova 3 on first 2 levels. I have A LOT of games too, they ran crappy on euro10h, a bit better on 20a but euro10d is the best

If i'm honest, LG Are terrible at making their own firmwares for more than capable phones.
As well as the Optimus 4X, i own the 2X. (Which is also laggy on the original firmware)
The 2X, has a huge community with hundreds of custom roms. On these custom roms, the Optimus 2X runs flawlessly. Once we have an unlocked boot loader for our 4X and a bigger custom rom community, i am more than confident to say that the 4X will run incredibly well too!
The 4X has huge potential! just not with LG's builds of android!
We just need to wait! :good:

If GTA and asphault are unplayable for you, than you have a faulty device and you should change it (if you can). I have no problemson w/ those game, only MW, that lags.

same here, every game plays fine except NFS MW laggs ocassionaly

Real racing 3 lags a lot. The same thing with NFS... GTA 3 doesn't run smoothly.

If you mean cool looks ok.
But if you mean temperature cool there are two explanation:
1. You are not relevant as temperature meter, some kind of anomaly.
2.You played in North Pole with heavy coolers surrounding you.
No offence but heavy games heats all mobiles ALL...
