Random freezes and crashes?

[WILLIAM cmy]

Sigh....so it is a hardware problem of GS2?

SAD!

I just found that Pocket Legends players using GS2 headset also suffer from similar freeze and crash! See link below:

Most of them concluded that it is due to the SoundPool issue. A thread on Google has been opened and seems there is a workaround there for Developers:

If ping goes crazy, it is a problem with your connection, or network conditions between you and the servers. The existing PL and SL clusters are not being hosted in the same location, so your connection may be fine to one but not the other.

This doesn't at all sound like the same thing you've been reporting thug, unless you described it really really badly before. Kaotiicx doesn't have the app frozen, as the ping is still going up (meaning the app is still running, just messages aren't getting through to/from the servers).

Does this answer mean that you wont do anything about the ping problem?

Thanks for that. I looked it up as well and sadly I have no idea how to go about with their "fixes".

I'll just hope theres an update soon that fixes it or when the game gets released it won't have any GS2 problems.

i think i might have found a way to play for a bit more then usual
i just used a lot of tips all together
i started the music player (played a song and paused it), started the game, canceled the ingame music.
another tip i got, since it heats up very fast, its good to nodge to the right the battery save option.. it seems to slow down the heat rate

all together used, the game crashed to the main screen after ~2 hours (never did that before, it use to freeze, and after ~5-20 min') and the battery was'nt hot (well it was but not burning hot as usual.. dont have temp' guage)

SGS2, 2.3.4, lite'ning rom 2.0

if anyone try it out, tell me if its working for you too

Yeah Halantier, the SG2 has a sound issue that causes crashing. Known issue with Android: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623

all right after a quick look in PL forum i found a thread like this one.
seems as if the main problem is with samsungs sound driver or something like that, so there is a semi solution:
use a 1.5 lite'ning rom, start the music app, leave it in the background and then play

i have'nt tried it, but a lot did and still no complain
i have a 2.0 litening rom and it crashes, another one tried 5.0 and still it crashes.
so i guess 1.5 is the way to go

So I decided to try this out. Had to look up the noob way of doing this on xda forums.
Rooted and have the 1.5 lite'ning rom on my SG2 now and I am happy to report that since the root I haven't had any
more freezing problems. I've played about 6 times and all the times I've quit the game it was because I wanted to stop lol.

I would suggest for other SG2 users to try this as well.

Is the developer(s) of SL working on this issue? Or they just wait and see how Google / Samsung going to deal with this?
