Nexus stutters while playing Riptide - Nexus 7 General

I've been playing with my Nexus 7 for about 5 days now and this just started happening. I thought I had too many tasks running so I closed everything, still happening. I rebooted and started playing again but it continued to stutter every 3-4 seconds. Any thoughts or is this happening to anyone else?

Not seeing that myself... just played it for a bit to make sure. To describe it as Butter would be appropriate. It is a much better experience than on my Galaxy Nexus, and that says a lot for what was a significant improvement over my Nexus S.

I had installed the app Ultimate Rotation Control which was causing the stuttering. I uninstalled it and it fixed the problem.

Running motley kernel, every game runs great.

More users have responded using this app (and similar apps) and experiencing these issues.
Uninstalling indeed fixes most stutterissues.

I have also experienced this. Stuttering on Dead Trigger. Ultimate Rotation Control removed, problem solved. Just glad I had the trial to decide and didn't pay for it.

I paid the license for Ultimate Rotation Control, was about to uninstall to avoid stutter but...
in the app, you can also edit the settings for each app.
So in order for games not to stutter, you can turn off this app.
Applied settings so this app wouldn't affect Riptide for example, result: no stutter
But still I got the rotation on the homescreens, landscape automatic etc.
So small piece of advice, play around with the settings for each game, homescreens, apps etc to avoid stutter.
It's really not a bad app after all
edit: just switched off (you see a screen with a red cross through in the settings of the app) Ultimate Rotation for all my games, youtube, videoplayers etc.. to avoid the stutter.
When opened in the app (if you switched off Ultimate Rotation for that specific app) you see the icon in your notification bar change to a small screen with cross so you know it's switched off.
Happy camper now no stutter in games, videos, youtube

This is good to hear, may have to give it another try. I can't say I noticed these features in the trial, do they only become available once youv'e purchased the pay for version?

I don't remember tbh.. the settings per app is the last line of functionality in the app itself when opened from the app drawer.

Just downloaded the trial again. I don't know how I managed to miss this first time around. Will give it a while and probably buy the lisence.

Good luck hope you can apply the settings per app and avoid the stutter.
Just played Mass Effect for a few missions without stutter so.. for me it's working

Google play music (all access)

So who's thinking about subscribing to all access and keeping the service?
I'm on the trail version now but I think I maybe keeping it. I really like that you could listen to any song or album and let it play completely all the way through it. The new ui is nice and all but I like the color to stay blue.
So what's on y'all mine?

I've been using Spotify Premium for over a year now, and I have to say that after trying Google Music the service is kind of disappointing. I mean, the service itself is great, but the UI, Apps and the fact that it's browser only is really really disappointing.
I used it for about 20 min and I just couldn't deal with it. Let me provide some details. If you're on your desktop with Spotify (Windows 7), you can hover over the Spotify tab and you will get backward, pause, and forward buttons on the live previews in Windows 7. This doesn't work in Music because it's a browser based app.
I also find the UI kind of hard to navigate through. It looks nice and all with the Google Now theme, but it's just not... intuitive IMO.
I really wanted to switch over, but it looks like I'm going to stick with Spotify for now.

Yes I'm talking about both versions. I've used the phone app and the Web app.
Also, I should note I don't own any actual music. I stream only/save on device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I think its a good start. Yes it could be a little more intuitive but I don't have any real issues with it. I have been waiting for Google to release a music service as I have used Zune/Xbox Music when I had my windows phone and excited I can get the same service for cheaper on my Android now.
I was very excited about All Access after hearing about it this morning. I signed up for the trial but not sure if I will keep it. The biggest drawback for me is not being able to save an offline library on my phone. It looks like the phone has to be connected Internet and able to stream while playing. This is not practical because most people has capped data plans and not to mention we can't get reliable service everywhere. So anytime you are out of 3g area you won't be able to listen anything. I also have had Spotify since the launch and being able to keep offline list on three devices have been very nice. I hope to see a similar option on Google music otherwise I will stick to Spotify.

i use spotify on my phone and have always saved for offline. I want to switch to play music because i hate the spotify app and the lack of being able to sort by artist. i have remade most of my spotify playlists in play music and want to save for offline, but for some reason the download process is taking really long and keeps failing even though i am on wifi. its really annoying is anyone else having this problem?
edit: has been trying to download a single song for over an hour, really annoying because everything else is great besides this. i am going to try reinstalling to see if that helps
I think it gives the option to download for just one song (each song or album separate, not the entire library nor the list). Just to be clear, you guys are talking about the option that says 'keep on device'?

Absolutely incredible and the SQ is AMAZING considering it's streaming.. Interface is an absolute DREAM to use.. Google NAILED IT
So is this more like spotify on Pandora ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, I haven't made a list yet but will try in few. Although one more thing that I wonder, if I have the song or the list on my device, does it still communicate with Google play music? I am just curious if I can listen in two devices at the same time from a downloaded list? I know it doesn't work while streaming. On Spotify I can just turn the offline MODE on and be able to listen in two devices independently. (good way to share the cost of the monthly fee, if you have a family in same household)

I subscribed and will be keeping it. I had been thinking about doing Spotify for a few weeks, as I'd grown tired of Pandora, but All Access seems to do everything I want it to do. Loving it so far.

ive listened on both my computer and phone at the same time playing different songs and it works fine. i know when i did that with spotify it would stop the stream immediately unless you were offline but this is much easier
edit: nope, after about a minute it stops the stream. but it works great for a minute!
Ok.. the only thing I cant figure out.
Let's say I add an album to my library... How do I go about removing it via the app? I see every option but that

It's both rolled into one. Except unlike Pandora you can see the next 20 or so songs and just swipe them out if you don't want them to play.

Thanks for the quick replies! I tried streaming from both computer and my phone earlier and it kicked me out from one multiple times. This doesn't happen right away but it happens after a minute or so. That's why I was wondering if having the song on the device could eliminate this problem.

Just bought the HD+. Will get Tuesday. Good performance?

So my plan is to immediately put the CM10.1 on this tablet.
I mainly watch movies, read books, browse the web, and play a few games. But not too many games.
Will this tablet give me great performance in general? Or is it going to be limited? What kind of snappiness do you guys have with yours?
For what you will be using for the tablet performance should be perfect with room to spare. The Nook HD+ is a pretty solid tablet, only problems I've encountered are some minor touch sensitivity issues and a little bit of lag here and there but with some tweaking and customization it works pretty well.
Had mine since Wednesday. Great for watching TV/movies (avi/mp4).
Good for reading the web.
Great for comics.
Not got around to reading via the Kindle app.
Plays music fine.
Really enjoying it, but just like previous poster some touch sensitivity issues.
Well, I guess I will just need to try it for a bit and see if I am happy with it.
Hey I noticed that with it stock there are "incompatible" apps from the play store. Fandango for instance. If I put CM on it, am I still limited or is the buildprop edited so we can actually download these apps

No, most that say incompatible will still be incompatible on CM10.1. Your option is to download on another device, transfer the apk to the HD+, enable unknown sources on CM10.1 and install them. They usually run.

Actually, I just did CM to mine. My benchmark before was around 9000, with CM it went to over 10000.
And I found that several 'incompatible' apps became compatible. MLB At Bat works (only for radio, TV can't find my location). Also, a widgets app, iheart radio, and a couple others suddenly became compatible as well. But as they say, your mileage may vary. Of all the apps I have, the only one that is still incompatible is the Nook app... go figure! :laugh:
I can careless about the nook app. I honestly don't read much. I really bought this just because I got it so cheap

For reading of pdf books I suggest OrionReader, simple and smooth as hell.
For video MxPlayer could handle 720p animes on hd+
Really satisfied with the hd+, definitely a bargain to me
I am so glad you mentioned OrionReader. I use my Nook for reading music scores while playing piano and couldn't find an app that moved fast enough while turning the pages. Now I'm all set!

Thank you kind Sir. I was looking for a way to do this for quite a while now.
This trick only works with the version that is currently in the Play Store, not the current modified (screen off and 1080p playback) one that is floating around XDA.
Still, once switched to the homescreen, screen-off playback works too.
Just download viral from the play store it allows you to play YouTube in a small window or run in the background

Yeah but you need root + custom rom to use Halo (I know there are some app that emulate it). Viral can use on any device and its very fast, probably use less resources than the Youtube app itself. I can even use it as an offline video player if you set links to open in pop up mode (which then can be fullscreened), I don't even need MXPlayer anymore. Also with Viral you can select YouTube videos to play in any existing resolution available.
Do you guys have any rom review suggestion for me? I want to do review of some rom

Stuttering Videos

Just got my N3 today and so far I'm digging it. Only issue I'm having is when playing a video off the Web of through the video player it's stuttering/lagging like every 5 seconds. It does this either on wifi or 4g and I know it's not a buffering issue because the video can be 100% buffered and it will still lag. I didn't have this issue on my N2.

I can honestly say I don't use Dice Player. Are you aware of the fact that there is a VLC player for android? It may still be under a geographical restricted beta, but the application just like the windows variant is free, so there are APKs floating all over the place for beta 0.1.3.
I would give that a try, in lieu of any practical advice on Dice.
