Old games do not work well on this phone

For example I tried playing the original angry birds and it is extremely choppy. It seems like a bunch of the old 2d iOS ported games like angry birds, cut the rope ect don't run that well on this phone. Does anyone else experience the same choppiness in this game? Is it something to do with optimization or is it a hardware issue with the One? Newer 3d games seem to run fine. I hope its not just my phone.

Strange. I just installed it and played the first level and found it to be extremely fast and responsive. Do you have power save mode on?

I don't have power save mode on, I've been trying to diagnose the problem for the last little while and I can't figure out what it is. The game runs fine for the most part it is just a tiny bit jerky, especially when scrolling the background.

Same here, playing games I played on my S3 on my One are quite laggy. Maybe game developers have to add support for our phone?

I found this old post about the HTC One X, perhaps the same issue applies to the One and can be corrected with the same solution?

My phone is not rooted so unfortunately I cannot test it right now.

Another solution, once again requires a rooted device is to install any CPU app like kernel tuner, SetCPU, Trickster Mod, etc. Change the Governor from on-demand to msm-dcvs. In kernel tuner you can a little further enhancement by ticking the box next to link all cores. This will also tax your battery more but a lot less than that in article you linked to.

Both the titles you mentioned run without a hitch, very smooth. Anyone else want to chime in?

Didn't want to start a new thread on same topic.
I've experienced the same issues on my One. In Nimble Quest for example, you can look at the background as it scrolls and every few seconds there's a hitch/slowdown, then the game speeds up again. It can be subtle and perhaps not everyone notices it. Another game that exhibits this, is Canabalt. It's actually more severe in Canabalt.
I have Power Save disabled and this issue still persists. I am not sure what the culprit would be, and I hope we don't have to rely on the developer to resolve the issue. I feel it's something on the phone's side, (perhaps it's throttling down)? I tested the same 2 games on an S4 and the issue was not present.
I am on 1.29.1540.3.

[Issues] Camera Overheating and Stop working!

Hey Guys, How are you today?
I am angry as hell, again!
I find another problem with the Z1, I can't believe it. The first one is Touch Screen now If you using the camera continuously for 3, 4 minutes the camera crash and stop working.
I think we all have this problem but not everybody know about that. So make this test like me.
First effect of camera overheating: Before use the camera run Quadrant or AnTuTu Benchmark, with Quadrant you will get around 21600, Antutu 33800. Run the camera and start making pictures with 20mpx for 1 minute, make a pictures with any option. If you are luck the camera will keep going but after that run the Benchmarks again.
After using the Camera you will get around 17000 with Quadrant and 29000 with AnTuTu. 5000 points each less after using the camera.
The real problem is if you will using the camera for 3 minutes, for example you are in holiday and want make pictures, for sure this will take some minutes, the camera will crash.
This is normal for you? I think is something wrong..

I filmed a 15 minute show at 1080p with no issue, the issue is with your device,it is not something that affects all z1's

Get a replacement, or get another smartphone altogether.
Now hear me out!
Your are inducing this.
The phone is sealed and armed with the latest chipset.
Suprised it gets hot?
I'm happy it lets you know, so the camera doesn't take damage.
It's a pointless test
You seem like you maybe would be happy with something else?
Is this something you face often (like just gaming a few minutes and then switching to camera), and other combinations which you do not intentionally set off?
If all the other symptoms you are reporting all over the forum are not very overplayed, and indeed crippling your device, the outfall is the same, no?
Get a replacement or try differently!
I've taken recordings lasting over ten minutes and used way longer fiddeling with the camera app going, and not a single crash to date.

My friend, I just reporting the issue which people have the right to know. Everybody know if you don't want any problem get an iPhone.
Am I the unlucky here with this phone? Fine, that 's why I am here, I am here for help and share.
You are here only to complain about what people saying.
I am only disappointed and I don't want to give up on this High-End Phone but you don't help me even a bit.
Someone probably will be worry if the phone get hot, have issue or the camera will crash in some circumstances, so to understand that your are free to test the phone, like I do, to understand how use it with any option.
Am I wrong?

You are perfectly allowed to do whatever you want with it, as you bought it, it is yours to meddle with
It is however when you start to post your uncertain findings and experiences as almost facts, that it becomes misleading.
This could hardly help people who are already confused about buying this phone.

On XDA with any device this will be a problem . You know why we are here for. We are here to solve issues, so if somebody want to buy a device should not come in Q&A, Hepl & Troubleshooting, right?

I do think it is important to shed light on all the issues and let the public get the full picture.
I'm on my second sony phone now (Didn't really fancy anything sonyericsson made) and wouldn't consider myself a fanboy.
My next device could be anything. RIght now however, I personally don't like the alternatives
If a problem gets mentioned alot, it is better to bump old threads, than make new ones all the time.
Just for the sake of consistency. Helps more when trying to gauge if an issue is widespread, instead of it being scattered all over.
I do not wish to drag this further, as my intention is not to be mean to you.
Also I am swaying off topic and sidetracking your thread.

@benziii, Ok but I really do not hear about this issue on XDA, I sarching on Google and few information I get and 1 video on Youtube, and actually the video reflect the exact same issue as mine.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVDygET6KHQ
So it's software problem related?

I took +- 35 fast photos and the error didnt come, but the phone heats up a bit.

Maybe is not meant to be so stressed.

I have taken more than 1000+ photos with my Z1 (The Sandisk Extreme Plus 64GB MicroSDXC is amazing), and I have yet to see it crash. *touch wood*
Yes, it gets hot after a while, but I've once taken 200+ photos for an event without shutting off the camera app or resetting the phone to cool it down, so it was on for nearly an hour but it never crashed and the battery held up fine, though I look funny in a sea of ppl with their fancy DSLRs.
So I assume you got a faulty phone and should get it replaced.

no probs here, can use the camera all day long and never crashes, is it possible you have many apps running in the background/.

It's not the camera. It happens due to heat. So to cooldown the processor, it will down clocked automatically. For example, If you run few benchmarks & then you start the camera, after a while you will get an error message from the camera. I had that problem. Benchmarks will stress the processor & GPU 100%.

I was imagine that but I get the error when I was outdoor making pictures. That day I didn't run any benchmarks. Is not the camera, ok, is due to heat. Just worry why my phone get heat and get error just using the camera.

(Rant) Laggy

Okay so I'm not one to complain but I just got the note 4 about 5 hours ago and damn does this thing stutter, Like opening apps scrolling through the home screens and stuff is fine but no apps and I mean none run smooth, they all have the micro scrolling stutter and even after switching to art they still do it. And I'm coming from a nexus 4 so this phone shouldn't feel like a high end phone yet perform like a a low end phone I have not rooted but I am deciding to just Duke it out and wait for roms I already received the update that's supposed to help the lag and no difference I mean I kind of new what I was getting my self into when I got it considering it is a Samsung phone but still. Hoping for hyper drive or at least a debloated stock rom soon

I have no lag at all. Have you tried rebooting it and maybe a factory reset?

Even in power saving its pretty smooth i m an old nexus 4-5 user too i wouldnt expect this smoothness from a touchwiz phone

Yes the first thing I did was factory reset then I disabled a bunch of Samsung and Google Apps I didn't use and yea I'm giving it a week if nothing improves I'm swapping it out for another one

Is this snapdragon or exynos ? No lag here aswell (910c)

If you're planning to root, don't just yet. It could be a hardware fault somewhere, because as you said, it still stutters after a factory reset. Once you root, you lose all warranty, even if it turns out to be harware fault.
If you can try visit a store with Note 4 demo units, compare them to yours.

I already tried some days a couple of Note 4. 1 abit lag, stutter lag, but another much smoother. Pls return it and get another one

Run some benchmarks before you return it - if it's hardware reason it should result in lower benchamrk results.

I was messing around with my brother's Note 4 (Snapdragon) and noticed lag as well. Which is funny because I was exploring my friend's S5 and there was absolutely 100% no lag. My brother had a live wallpaper and a bunch of apps running in the background, so I assume that could be the reason. However, there shouldn't be any lag what-so-ever at this point. WTF is going on?
Maybe I'll wait for the Note 5. Lol.

I use exynos version and get no lag at all
My ram free never over 400mb but it still very smooth
Maybe you should try factory reset and make sure dont change your device to art

ok! thanks!

I have the t mobile snapdragon version and yea i will be testing it extensively for a week before I do anything because I mean even some of the display models at best buy were being smoother than mine haha but don't get me wrong guys I love this phone it is amazing I just can't take the stuttering and about the s5 yes that's weird my dad has the s5 and I was comparing it to my note and noticed no lag at all compared to my note :/

Or could it just be that the display is so clear that even the littlest things are noticeable? Lol

Mine is really laggy (snapdragon UK version) it takes 2-3 seconds to load up the open apps menu, 2-3 seconds to then open an app such as facebook, google, menu, gallery etc, I don't play many games but one I use quite often which the phone should smash through is Words with friends, it takes awhile to load and you can literally see it lagging as you move the tiles from one section to another.
You can see it lagging as you scroll through facebook and twitter also.

Got a SA Vodacom Snapdragon one and no lag.

Not really lag, but more like device throttling. Check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/camera-video-lagging-t2913392

Mine is N910C (Exynos Edition).
No lag as you mention.
I even test with my friend iPhone 6 Plus, 99% apps opening in Note 4 is ahead faster than iPhone 6 Plus.
The only slight delay is Recent Apps and also sometimes they is a little slight jittering animation.
Overall this Note 4 is pretty smooth. I rate it second smoother animation android after HTC One M8 but for speed, it is the most speedy android phone ever for the moment.

Note 5 horrible lag

Just picked up the Note 5. I came from the iphone6. Needless to say its pretty bad. Many of the games I have tried to play on it have horrible lag. Couple examples would be Big Fish Casino, Clicker Heroes, Order and Chaos, and Hearthstone. I did some testing with my GF's phone, which is the S6 Edge+, her phone does the same thing with clicker heroes. Didn't go much further than that. I still have a few days left to return the phone but I am having trouble believing that both my phone and hers could be defective. My iphone6 didn't stumble a bit on any of these games.
Anyone know if the above games should cause FPS lag? Facebook does a number to it also, but only when trying to make me sync new photos. I may just end up going with the iphone6s because I had zero problems with it the last 2 years.
Thanks

Update the software if there is any updates. Then factory wipe(make sure to backup any data to your computer). Fixes most if not all problems with lag.

Not sure if this is the right approach to this forum. When you say "needless to say" does it mean you were expecting it to be laggy ? Becasue I don't see this to be a common problem. Not even sure why you moved away from your iphone if you were so happy about it.
It would be useful , for anyone to chip in , to know what model and firmware you have.
As for the lag my simple answer is : I have a 920G , rooted with dr Ketan Fware and SkyHigh Kernel, and my N5 is screaming fast with no lag.

I apologize for the bad approach. Spoke out of frustration. The model is SM-920T and the build number is LMY47X.N920TUVS2COKC.
I also factory reset the phone and when I tested clicker heroes again its pretty much locks the phone up if there are too many coins flying along side clicking.

I have already talked to the service rep that sold me the phone. Of course hes like "Eh must be the sim card." He denied that the phone was locking up. I will probably go and get a new one tomorrow before my 14 days are up and they try to stick me with a refurb. I haven't had a rooted android device since the Droid X first came out. Is it a lot safer now days? Just don't wanna try to root a device that is having so many hicupps out of the box.

You don't need to root for great performance. I've been running stock for months and all is very smooth with great battery life.

So do you think I have a dud phone then? I think I will go get a new one anyways. It is probably the best thing to do if I am not happy with the current performance of my phone.

It's not a dud. Also, it's not lag, more like dropping frame rate or an inconsistent frame rate. The note 5 doesn't lag, it just can't produce a consistent frame rate in games I play. That's how android is.
I just got a note 5 as a business phone and I use a 6s plus as a main phone. On most games iOS is way smoother than android. It's because the games developed on iOS for very few devices. Android games on the other hand have to be made to run for many kinds of models. I love my note 5 but I just have to accept the fact that games run smoother on iOS because the game developers are able to optimize their apps. This is easily seen in hearthstone for iOS vs android.
My note 5 is my business phone, the iPhone is for gaming. I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but the truth is if you want a smooth gaming experience and can't have both operating systems like I do, just go back to iOS.

Yes. Dropped frame rate in games and in animations (scrolling through lists is the worst experience e.g. Youtube Facebook ...). Rooting and new kernel improves significantly, so it' a software issue, not hardware.

Is there any way to actually go against this and set a certain frame rate? Some guy developed an app that did it for the LG G3 but again they're very different devices so

Yes, there is a utility app from Samsung that allows you to adjust the frame rate and other settings as well. It is called Game Tuner, you can get it on the Google Play store. Enjoy!

Unbelievably laggy when playing games

Can't believe how bad the performance is when playing games, even ones that aren't as graphically intensive like Galaxy of Heroes. I had the S8+ for 5 months and never had issues with performance. Also, I've tried running the phone in different performance modes including "Game Mode" and it doesn't make a difference.

I don't know, I just tried NFS right now and I didn't have any problems. At ALL.

You got something going on because this phone handles literally everything I throw at it without even the slightest stutter. Best gaming experience I've had on a phone to date.

Did you mess the phone performance settings? I tried galaxy of hero's and no lag what so ever. Even pokemon go which lags like hell on my v20. Runs butter smooth on my notre 8.

lol ofcourse its him but lets try to see why he is having the issues maybe the install of the rom when they shipped the phone is why

My Note 8 has been chewing up and spitting out everything I've thrown at it. No lag or stutter and doesn't even get warm. At max resolution and "optimized mode"

I too am having lag on galaxy of heroes, I haven't tried other games but I was surprised.
Wonder if it's just this game? The rest of the phone performance is second to none I'm very impressed. I am worried though because I play GoH quite a bit and will become annoyed almost certainly
Wonder if it's specific to this game for now. Maybe a software patch will fix?

When I compare pokemon go to a v20 and a pixel so. The game lags really bad and it's well documented that the game lags. Them when I play out on my note 8. There is no lag just smooth transition from the going I to battle or gyms or poke stops. I tried that star wars game and had no lag and even recorded a video. Ado they can call me what ever they want. I can back up my claim

Sure did.
I had issues with lag and stuttering and other oddities. Factory reset and it is smooth.

My lag is actually worse when I am playing galaxy of heroes after factory reset. I haven't played other games so I'm not sure if this is still isolated to GoH but I did run Epic citadel benchmark and it was really smooth, not a single hitch. I think this is specific to the game.
Interestingly, I did use game mode to turn on battery saver performance and improved my lag. Not sure what that is all about.

I'm not the one who said that but to be fair, the discussion was about scrolling, not game play. This phone may handle games better but the scrolling smoothness is not perfect. On performance mode, I'd say it's damned close to perfect. Still a hiccup there or there but not many. Without performance mode, it was far too frequent for my liking.
