[Q] Temple run 2 framerates are really bad, is it just me? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think it's fair to say that this phone benches like a beast. I get good scores from all the benchmark apps like antutu and so on. However, Templerun 2, the only game I play, is no less than shocking. It's stuttery with constant loss of frames and I have no idea why. Compared to a Moto G LTE which I have, which has lower specs which plays it smooth as butter.
I can't get my head round this, does anyone else notice the same thing?

If you're using stamina with "extended usage" ticked, untick that. Or restart your phone and then play the game. I played Asphalt 8 on high graphics and other graphic intensive games. I don't see why TR 2 would lag

Hi, not using any power saving, and it's the same even after factory reset. Just seems to be an odd incompatibility or something I think.

I tried Temple Run 2 on my phone. It was absolutely fine. No hiccups

Tegra 3 games really really slow?

I've been playing around with the nexus 7 for around two days now and noticed huge amounts of lag everywhere. From the menus to browsing and even gaming.
I tried Modern Combat 3 and it just stutters so bad and the frame rate drops are huge, even my galaxy s2 performed better than this.
I bought the new Batman game yesterday and that was exactly the same. In game play it lags and stutters too much to be even playable.
I have installed the latest update and even did a factory reset and it has made no difference. The thing is I watched someone playing Modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7 on YouTube and it was flawless, is there something wrong with
my unit or has the update done something?
P.S I tried Dead Trigger, Puddle THD, Dark Meadow and all are the same

I get lag on Sonic Episode 2 THD but nothing else, I thought this game was optimised for tegra 3?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
No lag at all on anygames. Especially tegra3 optiMized ones.
One thing I noticed though. I noticed yesterday it seemed all My games had a brief pause every few seconds. I was like wtf is going on, wasn't like that before. I started thinking something happened from me unlocking and rooting. So I look through my apps to see what could be causing it. Low and behold the force rotation app I had. I had it set to force auto rotation. So I changed it to normal auto rotation. It solved the issue. The forced auto rotation was causing issues with my games. Putting it back on normal auto rotation put everything back to normal.

How emulators run on this device?

Hello, i dont have this phone yet but i have it on my list.
My question its how emulators run on this phone? I know tegra3 will have problems
with some apps on EA and gameloft but how it runs on emulators?
I dont mean snes,nes,sega...i mean on the heavy ones
Like n64oid, FPSE with opengl, PPSSPP, mame4droid reloaded or any experimental
emulator like Nintendo DS, Dreamcast, etc.
But mostly on n64 and FPSE with opengl its my question.
Because i want a new cellphone for emulators and youtube...and my current options
are this or motorola razr i
Thanks by the way, and sorry for my bad english.
I'm using PPSSPP a great and promising emulator of PSP and Dragonball Z Shin Budokai or Pes 2012 are lagfree however you have to change the settings to play with no lags.
I also tried Dsoid, a Nds emulator, which runs perfectly with all games I tried

I tried PPSSPP after I saw your post to play my favourite game Loco Roco. It runs smooth but with distorted graphics. Can you recommend any settings to play it with proper graphics?
Sent from my LG-P880
Under settings go to the graphics settings and desactivate the buffered rendering this will improve a lot your graphics also active the stream VBO
I also choose the big buttons cause the buttons are too small for me
That's all I think I do

hmm... on my 4x i got really big laggs when i play Monster Hunter FReedom Unite on PPSSPP.
it feels like a really bad slowmotion...
this is not normal i think?
can my Phone set up be the problem? (P.A.C. Man rom + Idoak kernel)?
or do i need to change some seetings?
on my computer it runs awesome smooth with no lags..

You can activate the buffered rendering, that will decrease your graphics but will improve the performance. You can also play with the settings of the app to see which configuration fits you perfectly.
You can change your governor to "performance" too.
I do not know this game but he may be a little bit to recent to work smoothly on our phone.
For example, I can play Pes 2013 but it is a bit laggy and i have to change de settings

PPSSPP is only in beta so lags can caused by the program, and its not all compatible with every PSP games. I dont tried all emulators but i think all casual game emulators are lag free.

That's true but even if PPSSPP is still in beta stage it can be lag free on a lot of game which are not too recent.

I used to play pokemon diamond and black and it was running smoothly.
However I admit that it can lag on powerful games like Mario Kart maybe
It is still in beta stage, its performance will be improved

But... I restored an fresh jelly bean 4.1.2 and installed ppsspp and the game lagged too -.-
Its the same as before its hardly running slow :/
So i think their is a Problem With the Emulator Or the iso and not With my phone
But i also visited the offical ppsspp Website and the game is supported...
Btw: the laggs are only in some parts oft the game, an Earl little Stage is running 100% smooth and With awesome graphic. But the Main game laggs..:/

FF7, Medievil and Figting Force... No lag... Played it when I was on CustoNexus.. Now, I'm on Slimbean + werewolf kernel... It still plays good*Tested Fighting force*... As usual my only problem is device heating on gaming sessions....

If you want to reduce the heat, you can undervolt try different combination of scheduler and governor, that may solve your problem.
However, I have to admit that my phone heats up a lot when I play heavy games and charging (with fast charge) at the same time.

Nah.. No matter what tweaks we will do, there will still be heat on our device. I'm convinced that the 40nm on Tegra 3 is to blame.. Though I haven't tried playing on device with 28nm process though...

Random CPU spikes

Hello i have a problem with my phone.... it lags a bit.When in Chrome ,Facebook app or using Swiftkey keyboard and pretty much every app the phone is a bit laggy.
I used Usermon to track the cpu usage and i say some random spikes.
I do not know where these spikes and the lag come from ... is there any way to create a log of cpu usage per app ???
Thank you.
2 usermon photos are attached.
Also my phone:
Crystal PA 4,4,2 Custom Rom
The kernel that came with the Rom
UBL
Rooted
Thanks again
Normal because Facebook, Chrome and the keyboard are pretty heavy applications to use..
Nothing to worry about
yeah but the thing is that never happened before despite having the phone loaded with apps...

Samsung Game Tuner

Saw this app and downloaded it. It's kinda like GLTOOLS with graphic features except fake GPU, CPU or any things you need with root.
Works with GTA: LCS, but the FPS on screen is unsupported, I dunno why.
How's you let experience with it, if you use it.

At max settings for graphics, battery drains like hell though

I use it for Royal clash, I max the settings and it looks so good.
I also use it for Hearthstone, I lower the textures, resolution and fps: lowest res, 15 fps. Have not crashed since.
