I've had my Nexus 6 for about six months now and outside of certain games, it's practically always given me the fast, seamless experience I expected from it.
I've primarily played Marvel Contest of Champions on this device with only minor slowdowns here and there, typically when the game received a major update. I recently purchased Farming Simulator 16 and it runs way below my expectations. With the graphics set to High, the game stutters so badly it's not playable. On low, it's manageable, but very frustrating to say the least. I've checked the RAM, CPU and GPU while in-game and there's no spikes and nothing is being used at a high percentage - the game should be running without issue the data, but something is clearly not playing nicely.
I've scoured forums and I've read many things that it could be, but there are no solutions that I've found anywhere. Any help/ideas would be much appreciated.
i dont know about your cpu setup, but theres no stutter with my cpu setup(ondemand/deadline).
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.
When I playing a game my phone gets hot and my fps or smoothness of the game goes down and the fluidity of my phone goes down heavily. Is this the cause of overheating or throttling ?
what game?
Sent from my HWVIE using XDA Labs
like every game, i mostly play minecraft PE (beta 1.1.0) and when starting playing it runs smoothly then later it lags then goes smooth then lag and the cycle goes on like this and its annoying.... Is there a soultion to make it smooth all the time
Mayby you have something running in the background that slow down your game in periods.
(I don't play game on my device my self, so i can't compare to my device to yours.)
Hey guys, I have been playing PUBG mobile for about 2 months now on stock, rooted OOS stable.
I have had the phone heating up after 1 game that it becomes uncomfortable to hold. I play with my case off to improve heat dissipation. I tried lowering clock speeds to about 1.8GHz to reduce heating, but it didn't help.
Also, I notice significant lag and frame drops in my third consecutive game, possibly due to thermal throttling. I never play when I am charging my phone.
Fellow PUBG players, what do you guys do? Do you use a different ROM/kernel? Do you adjust settings Within the game?
Thanks in advance.

I hate the thermal throttling that occurs on this phone. I used to use GFX Tool to reduce the graphics settings for PUBG in order to prevent it, but even that isn't working now. The phone heats up like it's been put inside an oven, and I need to take off my TPU case for it to not overheat and shut off. Even Redmi Note 3's don't heat up as much or get throttled like this phone does. Simply irritating.

my frnds 3 of there redmi note 3 heats way more than our one plus 3t. maybe you guys need to do a clean flash of OOS. pubg is a heavy game ofcourse it will make our phone heat alot bt its ok no shutdowns or over heating here. i am on nougat as oreo lags + overheats so i suggest you guys to downgrade to nougat OOS 4.5.1 if you want the best gaming and battery performance

My friend is using redmi 5 and he has no issues even when he plays with the charger connected. Absolutely no overheating at ALL.

Same story here. It's incredibly sad that a flagship $400 phone struggles to play a game at medium graphics when a $200 phone doesn't. Superbly embarrassing.

I have decided to try out some ROM + kernel changes. Will update here if I find any improvements.

I've given up on it at this point. I've tried out completely stock OOS, stock Lineage, heavily modified Lineage/RR/Omni and yeah nothing seems to work. I'm just sick and tired of this phone just after a year of owning it. This sucks.
i play pubg on my op3t omnidragon rom
i use pub gfx+ tools it reduce lag
the phone gets hot and the game lag when I'm in a room that has a hot temperature and it's summer
can someone agree that downgrading to nougat is better for gaming?
Phones are not suitable for gaming. End of story.
None of my phones were able to keep going without throttling significantly.
It's down to basic physics.
Well, OnePlus 3T is not optimized for PUBG. Or let's PUBG didn't optimize the game for older devices. If your device has Snapdragon 835 or 845 PUBG will run smoothly. Or if you have 6xx series chipsets that was released in 2018 they would run smoothly too. TBH PUBG will be better in a tablet than a phone. Get tab S3 or S4 or even latest iPad which is a lot cheaper can handle game flawlessly. But OnePlus 3T has become a old man now.

This is what I don't understand, our chipset is just barely 2.5 years old, and it is a flagship chipset. Why then do they ignore optimizing for a flagship?
i dont understand why you guys are babbling on. just revert back to nougat and see the difference . pubg runs super smooth with no overheating in nougat. Oxygen os oreo is not all that well optimised thats why games lag inoxygen os oreo. revert back to nougat and you will again see the true potential of our device
I agree. I'm running Sultans Lineage OS by denser and it runs great.

I even reverted to Sultans latest build as (as opposed to denser, no offense to him) as I preferred it for my small reasons. But big shout-out to denser for maintaining sultans great work.
Use mcd kernel.. I can play pubg without any lag and thermal throttling
When temp rises just decrease the fps... ?
How to get back nougat can any one send
Anybody who switched to STABLE OOS PIE 9.0.2 can you please share your results for pubg gaming? (try using PUB GFX TOOL from play store/ xda and set it to 720p, SMOOTH, 30FPS AMD VULKAN).
I have been facing lot of lag on s10 while playing pubG (snapdragon model canada). I can find a lot of forum posts but they point to exynos model. It heats up in 10 minutes and start lagging specially when things get crowded(or object rendering).
Can anyone confirm their experience? snapdragon only
Use an Xbox ONE to play PUBG instead. This will solve your phone lag issue.

If you are not playing on the lowest graphics, try to do so. Other than that, I can only think of background apps taking resources and being the source of the heating

My s10 plus exynos use to do that but since a few updates it plays on highest settings without any stutters at all, although if I play for more than an hour it tends to heat up a little kinda normal though, but try wipe ur cache in recovery and reboot, normally the stutters happen after an update then you wipe cache and all should be good
I wasn't trying to be funny Mr. OP person, just saying a console that the game was made for is best to play it on. With that said, what csoulr said, it must be apps taking up resources. Try the app greenify, it puts apps to sleep you're not using.
