Xperia SP - Games problem - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i bought xperia sp 4 days ago. When i downloaded a game called "benji bananas" for my younger brother i noticed the problem. Screen/animations jumps/tear/stutter. I have never seen the similar problem in any android phone. This problem occur in almost all games. My father has galaxy s. I downloaded benji bananas on his phone and it ran perfectly. I did a factory reset on my phone something like 5 times. It didn't help. Then i tick the cpu usage option to look at cpu usage and i was suprised. Look at it ;D

Could it be mechanic damage on soc or something? It's strange that 2d not demanding apps run like.... I don't know what to do. Please help.

Touch Pro Overclocked - Overclocking the X1 - is it finally possible?

Anyone managed to find this software and give it a go?
The Touch Pro has finally been overclocked.......
Anyone care to try this on their X1?
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx
does not work, forces the device to auto restart.
However, the creator is working hard to get one that works
Even if a X1 version is released, the only thing you might achieve is to fry your cpu and destroy the device years earlier than its expected lifetime.
How about Temp and Battery life, is it worthed ?
ok this OC tool worked for me today i had x1 at 768mhz and it was fast but then i started an program and the phone froze so.. there is still alot of work on that app..
the phone froze or restated...

Hi all.
I tried to install the neucontrol software but when I run the cab my xperia says that the program was uninstallable.
I was using a custom rom, the energy rom, standard version. I haven't tried installing it with a different rom.

As the same arguement for Pc overclocking, the lifespan of a cpu is many years beyond what you are likely to use it. I.e the phone could last for less than 5years for all I care, 2years in fact as Ill upgrade to xperia 2 so I might has well "fry" it and gain a faster smooth and more enjoyable experience in return for a shorter lifespan.

I prefer to keep my tech working even after I stop using it. After all, you never know when you might need a backup device. Different points of view about this, I guess.
I agree with orelsi..I'd like my device to be in good condition even though I won't be using it anymore...you never know, you might come up short on dough with your plans of buying the x2 or x3 and selling ur x1 might give some additional cash for u to finally buy that device...of course if it's fried, no one will buy it or u'll only be able to sell it dirt cheap, for parts or whatever

Indeed, this is very true
on my x1 freze quickly
somebody thought about downclocking the cpu? maybee some MHZ less could double the akku duration??!! =)
this would be mutch more interesting fo me instead overclocking this littel cpu xD
greetz
You would make the phone useless, for anything else than calling. I would prefer multitasking and good performance over battery any day.
waw it worked for me...
i install the tool and my phone way connected to pc with activesync and it ran at 800 mhz ,i was like (damn thats how the phone should run,smooth scroling in main menu ,benchmarked with sktools and got waw results ).
BUT when i took usb out of pc my x1 froze and i had to softreset.
and i couldnt run it again in my x1(now when i run it,it freeze or restart)
what a shame ,i hope the tool get stable so i can run x1 at 800.

install cool tool then tap on top on "Labels" and check " most resource-intensive process"...then tap main and tap show panel.You will see which procces is eating cpu and you need to find way how to restrict it

what a nice phone you have!
I've been always in love with HOT phones, but never got any
maybe Pitbull will use it in a new music video
but seriously speaking, heating is a normal thing to happen with these phones, mine gets so much hot, but the very first step is to compare it with a friend or so,just make sure that it is ABNORMALLY hot, and at the same time, and under the same condition (for example when no app is running on two phones, run a graphic-hungry game to see how hot your and your friend's phone get)
this way you will rest assured that heating is just normal
wish you luck

Serious Lag on TeamLava Games

Has anyone experienced this?
Although at first when I downloaded Bakery Story it seemed to have a lag like a wounded turtle crawls which made me doubt that my device is starting to suck but after when I downloaded Restaurant Story I had the same thing in front of me which made it certain that my Raider 4G is innocent. I have read a thread on the storm8 forum but there nothing or no one seems to be willing to resolve what's occuring. These are interesting games but wonder what is causing them to lag.

No rom, completely stock.
I'd blame poor memory management in ICS...
You can try raising your minfrees...
Any of the kernel tuning apps will let you...
If not that... Then its the 1.2ghz CPU clock speed...
I don't see why you wouldn't be running PAC or are you holding out for the return of cm?

My laptop's motherboard fired up a couple of months back and I haven't been able to get that replaced since, I don't have any other system in spare that I can use so I can't flash anything at the moment.
I've read in a thread that these games are not optimized for dual core processor phones yet, no word from TeamLava. Convinced me to believe that?
And from 'raising minfrees', what exactly do you mean?

It would affect androids low memory killer...
Get kernel tuner...
Look for either minfree or OOM on the main screen..
Choose either aggressive or very aggressive...
Try your game...
Hopefully your rooted... Or else this prolly won't work

Yup, there's an issue with their games.
Tried setting the OOM to very aggresive, same thing.
Edit: Playing it on my sister's Acer Iconia B1-A71 with stock Jellybean (4.1.2) and it works like a charm!
So it seams there's something seriously wrong with the stock ICS with HTC Sense, it really sucks because the Iconia also has a dual core processor and this game works great on it.
Although on my Raider, while the game is on, I press the back button of the capacitive phone buttons and the screen displays a dialogue saying 'Are you sure you want to quit this game?', and while I look back in the game, everything runs silky smooth. This is strange.

Does this mean I need a new rom?

[Q] Memory Leak?

So I have recently bought a Z3 Compact.
I've had this problem since I bought it. It seems as though there is a memory leak as when I start the phone up for the first time, it works perfectly and I receive notifications as normal, then slowly after time(about a day of uptime), I notice that I stop receiving notifications. Looking at the running app view, it shows that there's only 99MB or RAM left!? There's like nothing running. It shows all services as "restarting". So it seems to me that Android is closing tasks as there is "insufficient ram", even though there really should be. I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it though.
Is there anything I can use to try and further diagnose the problem? I imagine that finding out which app is taking up all the RAM would be the right place to start?
Thanks for the help!
So I had to restart so I could post these pictures(the tapatalk app would get closed when opening the gallery to add attach the pictures...)

I think you should try flashing an ftf of a different region via flashtool. I had this problem on an Xperia SP that i used to own. The problem was present in the Australian firmware but not in the European ones. It was weird. You don't have to wipe date while flashing.

Hmm... Interesting, I think I did however do that as the OTA wasn't available yet for my phone(think it's UK version) so I flashed US version. It's present on both though... I'm having a look regularly at which processes begin to grow in their usage. Not sure how long it's gonna take for it to be really noticeable though...

Well to be very honest, it should take quite a few processes to even take up 2 gigs of ram. On SP it was a kernel issue. Who knows why this is happening on your end. You're the first one i've seen with this issue on z3c. Sorry i couldn't help man

Thanks Sadman. I'm already on 300 megs left... :< It looks to be like it's got to do with Google's services? Like Google plus is using like 60MB and I haven't opened it once since I got the phone. The other google services are also using up quite a bit by the looks of it, but still seems like it's not showing something :< Wish I had root an this...
This is my usual situation.

Wow, I would say so. Anything special about the device? I'd try disabling or uninstalling apps until you find what's causing it. Possibly a bad external SD card, try removing it?

Hmm.. Nothing special I'd say. It's basically brand new...
I've been disabling a bunch of the stock programs that I can and it still seemed to "leak". I have removed my external sd card. Would that have an immediate effect on it? Or would I have to restart and then start monitoring it again?
Update: so I formatted the external sd(it was a Samsung evo bought from Amazon). I initially just removed it from the packaging and popped it in.
Lesson of the day, always format new storage media before using it.
Thanks for all the help guys! Really appreciate it!
edit: Seems to have improved, but it's still leaking! :|
So I quickly had a look at my z3c in windows, and thought i'd look for "strange" things.
Are the following first two folders normal? They both contain only .nomedia files. Not sure if that's causing some issues with the mediaserver?
This is so #@*&[email protected]# annoying... If we could have root without losing DRM, this would be much easier...
Would the AudioMix wakelock cause my issue?

I guess this is the latest version for your device.
Is it running this hot from the first day of use or just after the update?
You could also make a repair via PC companion. See if it works. Don't forget to make a backup before that.
I do not own this device. I have a Z3C. From what I have just read, the software updates should, at least, make it less hotter.
Hope it helps.

ty dude,this version was has a better heating but i can not play a simple game even with this version!
You should have read people's comments before buying this phone. I am using it for six months and have known the bitter truth that it cannot be kept cool. Either change your habits and don't play games on it or get rid of this ****. OR keep a glass of ice water with you and dip XZ3+ in it to cool it down.

unfortunately some people said its not hot and..........heating is a problem and battery is something else....both are really bad,my phone keeps cool but when i play games it gets to 60 degree! anyway ty for your answering bro
6.01 here and having rev.5 (ie its from eu) and the phone get silly hot (recording, playing a game). Its a fault with this otherwise awsome phone.
I am on 305 with 3 of my Z3+ devices.... one from the UK and the others from Asia, and they all run completely cool now.
Sorry to hear you are having issues...which model and territory is it from?
My Japanese Z4 models, which are essentially the same phone, are running a little behind on the updates and running a bit warmer but still much better than before 6.0.

Tried it in summer. Internal cpu remperature remained same but feeling to hands was better since then heat was not concentrated at one place of body.
Overall I didn't see any change in performance. Well I live at Pakistan and room temperature in summer without air-conditioning gets upto 38 Celsius, internal cpu temperature got upto 75 Celsius..... Still better than Note 7 though.
