Hey guys, anyone else experiencing poor performance in games? Asphalt 8, Real Racing 3, any graphics intensive game just lags. This is coming from using a stock rom, custom note 7 port rom, etc.
I'm unsure if its cause the games are unoptimized or what the issue could be. Power saving is off, there aren't any apps hogging cpu/performance. So I'm unsure what the issue is.
Thanks.

Hey all,
I recently got my Butterfly S and I'm absolutely loving this phone. I think HTC nails it when it comes to UI design but there is two areas that I'm having some issues. When trying to play 3d games like Real Racing 3, Riptide GP2 and Asphalt 7(For some reason 8 isn't supported on this device) I see quite a bit of slow down. I'm wondering if there is a issue on my end or if anyone else is having similar problems? I know the SD600 and Adreno 320 should be more than capable of running these games smoothly.
My second is when it comes to playing back mkv files. I'm using MK player as my main video playback app and I'm getting a lot of slowdown and freezing. Could any recommend a method to fix this or a different player app that could alleviate this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I don't really know what's wrong... RR3 doesn't even run in 1080p unless you do the rotation trick I mentioned in the gaming thread. Blitz Brigade also crashes on me.
I believe there are some optimization issues but it's strange cuz FIFA 14 and Fast and Furious 6 seem to run fine.

Me too! I'm currently playing GTA:Vice City on my Butterfly S and it lags a lot! My girlfriend's older Galaxy Note 2 seems to be able to play it quite well. So I'm thinking there is something inside which do not support heavy graphic games well.
None the less, I do love my Butterfly S and never regretted switching to this from my iPhone 4S.
lagging sucks

Mine kinda lags too, i thought only my phone had this problem but i can see many others are having the same problem too. It should be the app itself then. Scrolling, web browsing has no problem. Mine lags in real racing 3, despicable me, n even on camera 360 app. I hope htc fixes all the problem soon.
Does anybody else experience some pretty bad lag in some games on their N6?
I've only tried a couple games, but one of my favorites, "Whale Trail Frenzy" lags something fierce when you get into frenzy mode. I did a google search and saw some people a couple months back having trouble with madden too, and some suggested it might be an issue of the app not being compatible with Lollipop but I tried it on my M8 with lollipop and runs just fine.
Does anyone else still have this issue and if so have you found a fix?

One day I had some lags in GT Racing 2, however, they disappeared presumably with a reboot.

I just wiped the cache and rebooted (as you have to to wipe) and am going to try again now.
[edit] Still have noticeable lag. Reboot, wipe cache didn't help. Can somebody else download Whale Trail Frenzy and play a couple games and see if you experience this slowdown too? All of my other games seem to be working okay. Maybe its just the game clashing with this specific phone.
If you are a big gamer I word seriously recommend getting a phone with a lower resolution ... The high resolution definitely impacts game performance on the G3, note 4, and this phone.

I can feel some framedrops on modern combat 5 but very less on modern combat 4. I'm a heavy gamer, yeah it annoys me a lot. Some games like NOVA 3 makes the phone to shut down forcefully cause of the RAM leaking issue. I'm pretty sure that the bad gaming performance is due to the RAM leaking issue
Hi guys,
Since you already know our device is getting older and now it is being categorized among the lower-end handsets in the android community. Games on android have never been so much better. The visuals on some recent games are breathtaking. I know the device we own is not so much of a gaming one and continuous gaming can adversely eat up the battery life and heat up the phone so please don't bring this up in the discussion which will follow since everyone knows it.
I want this thread to be a gaming thread for AHD. I would like you people to discuss about some latest and graphic intensive games and their performance on our phone. I actually want to determine the real life performance and reach the upper limits of this phone. Stats and benchmarks are just numbers and real life performance can be different. I will comment on the games which I have played on my AHD and share my experience with them. I suggest you do the same. For best performance you should restart the phone before launching the game and never run any apps in the background.
The games which I have tried personally are(I'm listing all the graphics intensive games here not the ones which are like Candy Crush):
- Asphalt 8 ( A great fun racing game with some breathtaking visuals. Overall this game runs fine on AHD. Can sometimes lag a bit when running other apps in the background but overall the experience is lovely)
- Leo's Fortune ( One of the most top rated and liked games on mobile platform. The game runs without a hitch. Can sometimes stutter on levels where there is snowfall or rain but it can be tolerated. I just loved playing it on my phone)
- Dungeon Hunter ( A lovely RPG. It performed okayish when I started playing it but after few levels it just stuttered randomly at some points which I couldn't bear and so didn't play it further on the AHD)
- Plants vs Zombies 1 & 2 ( They both run great. Love playing them every now and then)
- Riptide GP 1 & 2 ( Awesome Jet ski racing games. The visuals are amazing for a game which acquires such a low space on your phone. Try them out)
- GT Racing 2 ( Runs fine for the most part. Performance can be compared to Asphalt 8)
- Real Racing 3 ( I played this game an year ago on my AHD and the performance was not so good. It is such a great game, probably the best racing game on a mobile platform right now but for me it stuttered every now and then due to which I didn't play it further on AHD. I recently asked a member here about RR3 performance in CM11 thread since he mentioned he was playing it. Maybe its gotten better I think I should try it out again)
I've played lots of other games as well but I think these are enough to get the thread going. Please share your experience as well.
- Modern Combat 5 on this phone makes it feel that its getting really old. GFX aren't great (pixilated with textures) and its laggy too, the problem was starting the game or hoping it doesnt crash while doing a very intense level. I ran this game in Blisspop 2.2 (very stable and quick btw) and was surprised that it ran that bad.
- Madden Ultimate Team Mobile (It was a huge problem to start the game even in stock it was a problem it would just freeze and reboot) Cm11 I had better luck it would crash when loading but would load the game when I was lucky enough. Playing the game was okay too, wasn't all impressed or that since its a sports game. I think the problem is when its getting alot of data from the internet for managing the ultimate team, it would just crash there. When using Cm12 and Blisspop (especially Blisspop) It loads more often than not and managing the team would still be an issue, but you must load it one step at a time and not all at once, good enough. Best tip is to restart this device and then just run it, before other apps try to run.
Mincecraft- It just runs the game as if the phone was in the mid range category and im fine with that. Cm12 and Blisspop run it much better thus a slightly better view distance seems fine before the device lags when you put the view distance higher. Cm11 and lower (including stock) just take it down a notch and it runs fine.
I could understand why its now in the lower part of the spectrum and is compared to the moto g of last year and the moto e of this year. (judging from benchmark rankings, just slight differential)
The newer devices will always have some type of edge because it processes things much better due to the chipset architecture, management, optimization etc....
Anyone who owns this device can tell me how this device handles tasks like browsing, Whatsapp, simple games like temple run, etc? Is there any lag while browsing? while moving between menus?

This device is smooth. I don't find any lag while surfing internet, using social media sites or gaming.
It's not heating up while using. Display is bright and touch is smooth. Don't expect excellent performance from this phone. But this phone is damn good at a low price.
I dont need excellent flagship performance. Just a good device that wont lag while browsing, simple gaming or scrolling. good to know that its doing its job well. I was only concerned because of the 2gb of RAM which I thought might not be enough because MIUI is heavy skin and I was afraid the device will lag because of that

Well i'm using this device for couple of months now & i'm yet to be disappointed. Sure, i was concerned about it's RAM but these devices are just great at RAM management but let me tell you, you'd get only around 900mb of the RAM to work around due to it's miui skin.
To sum up, it's a best buy for everyday tasks even for moderate gaming, like that of temple run & though miui is eating up a lot of resources… it's worth it.
If i was to purchase this, do i want the global one or the other one for north america?
Hello everyone,
I've upgraded from OnePlus 7 pro to Mi 11 ultra thinking about it's great specs but even with SD888 i can sense a lag in the game, it's unable to handle Pubg, game lags,
I've tried from smooth to UHD with extreme refresh rate, in OnePlus 7 pro with SD855 i was able to play HD with extreme refresh with no problem.
Anyone knows how to fix it? What is your review on gaming?

My experience in gaming Mobile legends is amazing, I keep going with UHD max graphics and performance and my device handle to beat at least 94% of others, imagine if I drop refresh rate and graphics a little bit.
a quick question, how many games and hours you played on pubg with the device?
for me, the first 2 times I played mobile legends the phone was overheating and device was lagging little bit. but after that, battery is way better, never over heats, and amazing performance. so basically, it is just learning the device power consumption.
in summary, be patient and it will be way better in a day or 2.
may I ask which rom version you doing? hope not .Eu!!
forgot to mention, everytime I factory reset device I face same issue. so it is a thing that you should not worry about. just machine learning.

Hope not eu? Why this?
My eu stable version never lags at all.

If it was Eu, then all I said above does not apply to him. As the experience I shared was of stock rom. And I had bad experience with EU rom specially gaming and ram management. I totally agree with you that it never lags and sooooooo smooth, but other things are also important.
Thank you @hassanaliyeh , I'm on global miui 12.5.2.0 , I don't play games a lot, it was just for a hour. I'll try it again today.
I tried some GFX fix tools but it didn't worked.

No worries, you do not have any issues then, just give it a few hours and days.
Enjoy
