Problem playing games! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. Since I've updated to 4.4.2 I haven't been able to play many graphics demanding games, such as GTA San Andreas, Dead space etc. I've tried custom kernel, stock kernel, full wiping, different roms (sense 5.5 and sense 6). The problem still persists! Completely stumped! The games just fc when I try toplay them. Other games such as cut the rope and plants vs zombies work fine! Just wondered if anyone else had come across this problem with their phone? Or could provide any help it would be very welcome! Thanks!

My phone seems to play games better with KitKat, no sure what's going on with yours. I would ask if Power Save mode is on but for me even that doesn't hinder game performance as much. I do know that sometimes problems from a certain Sense rom can carry over on to another Sense rom, try a Google Play Edition rom and check game performance there.

Just curious

Hi guys, I've been using Android for some time now (2+ years) and i still don't get it why it is so hard to have a good memory management on this OS (i'm still on 2.3 variant so i haven't tried 4.0 yet).I mean why do i need to look for custom roms with different scripts, hacks, apps, etc. to play a game? Why do i need to freeze Manually apps or i need different stuff that require to give something up (more ram no more 720p filming or videos or what else)? I mean i want to play Fifa2012 it works for a while but then it moves in slow mo... ok let's try GTA III some lags hmmm NFS nope... ok maybe these are too much... i'll try Stardunk still lags, Touch pool 2d (something lighter) still some slow moving... Ok then i guess i'll play Solitaire(!) when the cards move automatically it lags FU..... it's so disappointing
Anyway, on a different subject: i have the opportunity to buy a used SGS1 for about $100 but the thing is that the guy says that while the phone was charging it shut off and doesn't start anymore but he says that when he connects it to his pc the "connected device sound " is played... he doesn't now about those technical moves like "Boot to recovery" or "Boot to download mode" so what do you guys think? if it gets into download mode could it be revived or i just should mind my business and not buy it?
Thanks

Cm10 Gameloft Games don't work!

So I have bought Modern Combat 4, six-guns, gta vice city (i know it's not a gameloft game) and many others. They don't work! I get a black screen with all of them and when it finally crashes it says "unfortunatley blah blah blah has stopped working." Please help me! I am going on a trip and will be on a bus for like 12 hours and need some entertainment! please if you know how to fix please reply. By the way I have done many factory resets, reinstalled cm 10 multiple times, wiped data, wiped cache ( on tablet and app) and many other things. I have gone into the obb file and it says cannot open as text because of error!
They probably won't work at all. These games require at least a dual core processor and running on CM10 with a single core processor they probably won't run. If you want to play games smoothly I recommend either going to ICS or GB. Or you could get a Nexus 7 just for games so you don't have to waste your phones battery.
Dark Night Rises works on my I9001 with cm10!
There are Games Like Lost Souls that work and others of the same category wont work.The music behind the game works but screen is black.Maybe it has something to do with OpenGL?

[Q] HTC One stutter/lag in games and sound

Okay so I've had the HTC One for over a month now and everything was running smoothly until the recent update to 1.29.666.17 (It's a canadian version). Im not sure if it's the update or what since I couldn't find anything similar with anybody, but all of a sudden there are stutters/lags everywhere. I was playing subway surfers which ran smoothly before and now there are alot of audio stutters and alot of game stutters almost making it unplayable and this game was running perfectly before. I restarted the device a couple times but no luck stutters are still there. It's literally everywhere in playing games, using the browser, playing music, watching videos etc.
I checked "Force GPU Rendering" and changed all animations to 0.5x to see if that would help sadly nothing worked. This phone was a powerhouse before and now its like a 3 year old phone running jellybean.
Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me? My phones not rooted nothing special done to it and I doubt it's a defective device as it was running perfectly for a month. Any ideas? Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated.

Some games not running smoothly

Hi everyone,
I have my One for three weeks now and I enjoy almost everything about it. Since I don't own a nexus 7 anymore I play my games on my phone and I have installed about 65-70 games. However I really get annoyed by the fact that some games like Real Racing 3 don't run smoothly. I noticed after resetting the phone that it was very smooth, but when I restored my other apps it was the same story again. I don't think this is normal as this device has the best SoC at the moment. Do I really have to uninstall almost all of my apps to be able to enjoy graphical intense games?
I'd really like to know if there is another issue I'm not aware of or if there is a solution to this apart from having almost no apps.
Thanks in advance

Lag in games

Almost every game Ive tried have been laggy on P10 with the latest firmware. A simple game like Subway Surfers that have been working good on every other phone is now stuttering on P10. Ive made a factory reset but still have the lag in games. Anyone now what the hell is going on. This phone should perform much better than this.
