SGS2 - Samsung Galaxy S 2 - Freeze

**MrNBD** · 06-29-2011, 01:43 PM

I'm totally lost now... I decided to stick with Lite'ning ROM (+stock kernel) so i customized it to my liking, removed all bloatware, installed ~30 apps that i use and now game seem to work even without having to launch music player before starting PL... Probably i'll leave it as it is now.

lol
probably best not to touch anything!

Nandroid backup FTW

Couldn't wait until the weekend! Flashed with Lite'ning. (didn't realise how easy & fast it was to do! - had HTC Legend b4)
Fired up PL straight away, didn't bother with the music app.
So far so good! But I've fooled myself b4, so I'm afraid to cheer too much

Ha've only tried in Forest Haves so far, one complete run through all lvls, and then all of Burke's daily quests.

Edit: Froze some apps, then tried Crush the Keeper. And it froze. Will try with music app in bg.

Yup, had one game freeze is well, but leaving music player opened in background still does the job for sure.

**kaliyuga** · 06-30-2011, 04:08 PM

done many keeper runs, about two hours.
not a single freeze with music app open. very nice!

Edit: Sad to say, but the game froze on me today, even with the music app in bg.

**kaliyuga** · 07-02-2011, 01:50 PM

And now once more on a keeper run. Playing while charging, dunno if that matters.
Should teach me not to get my hopes up

**MrNBD** · 07-03-2011, 05:05 AM

Yesterday i've completed Cyber quest (to get Cyber Skull). In other words, that was 50 "Krush The Keeper" runs and had no problems at all

**kaliyuga** · 07-03-2011, 07:41 AM

Yeah, today (so far) I've done about 25 ok'tals or more and 12 shards without problems.

Edit: completed shards also, and begun with shadow prisoners. Still running fine. Must've been a temporary glitch...

**MrNBD** · 07-04-2011, 05:33 AM

I had one freeze last night. After game shut down i found that music player was no longer active in the background. Looks like i forgot to kill all other apps before launching game and when free memory went low, Android it self killed some inactive apps which caused typical game freeze. Then i killed all apps, launched music player i had no problems again. Now going to kill 25 shadow prisoners

**shynrix** · 07-04-2011, 04:19 PM

I have had problems to with my galaxy s2, But when they where running i think it was PL 1.7.2.3 i had no trouble at all.
-The game ran fine, dungeon after dungeon.
Then they did the sound patch, And iam hating it. Better with sound glitches then all freezes.

First of all PL has nothing to do with this issue, as i had exactly same freezes in other games too. If you wanna blame someone, then blame Samsung who made such a crappy firmware for our phones. Or simply flash Lite'ning ROM and follow above mentioned steps

Better with proper sound and no freezes ^^

I never have the music app running in bg anymore. Sure, once in a while it freezes. But when I fire it back upp, I can make many runs without any hang-ups!
Thank you again for the tip. Can once again indulge my addiction!

**shynrix** · 07-08-2011, 05:16 PM

i just flashed the phone with Lite'ning rom, And i have played for 3hr now without a single freeze.

that i didnt do it, when i got the phone.

Gratz!

Sorry for being naive here but, when you mention that you have your music app running in the background, are you referring to an actual music app or that you have the in-game sound and music enabled via the game options?

**MrNBD** · 07-14-2011, 05:25 PM

Yup, i meant stock Samsungs Music app. Just open it and click "Home" button to leave it opened in background. That seems to work with Lite'ning ROM only.

By doing this, does it not drain the battery a lot faster and have you had any freezes while running the Music app in the background while playing PL?

**MrNBD** · 07-15-2011, 02:25 PM

No, the battery is perfectly fine for me, i can play around 4 hours in one go. And yes, i had two freezes already, but that happened because Android killed Music app to save some resources, but two freezes in 30+ hours of gaming is acceptable for me

Can't wait for CM7 to show up.

**kaliyuga** · 07-16-2011, 10:17 AM

I've had the game freeze up on me with the music app. Could very well be because of the task manager killing it, like MrNBD said - didn't bother investigating.
But as he said: it's not a big problem.

I did not notice a shorter battery life, with the music app running in bg.
But I don't bother starting it anymore. It may or may not freeze a bit more without it, but compared to how horrible it was before Lite'ning, it runs like a charm.
Most of the time I can play for hours without issues.
