Right, I've got this running at a very playable rate.

I've installed Chainfire3D drivers and loaded the PowerVR plugin for it, turned the settings right down

Tick:

Reduce texture quality

Reduce texture size

Disable Map Buffer emu

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] d3viou5:
Not that i'm gonna offer up any solutions to this problem, but there has to be something that can be done to get this working?

Modern Combat 3 runs well on the HD2 which would seem to be more graphically intense?

Seriously, i don't think I'd need any other games if I could get GTA running well.......

Very laggy, it takes 30 seconds to get in the car

My rom is in my signature... i even got the full version somewhere on the web with full SD data.. 3D high graphics games not working fine with the HD2
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] cuzzo94:
it's due the old gpu. but i think the game isn't optimized too. it hasn't got nothing special, and also with really low graphic settings, without sonds ecc it lags.

with the beta 10 of tytung it was quite smooth, only very few lags.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Axel85:
Maybe I found a big improvement to run gta but I can t test due to my full sd card (I m waiting for a samsung 16gb class6),but all I can tell you is that:

Before the update i could run real racing 2 (and if you don t know the graphic of this game look for a video in youtube) with some slowdowns only with chainfire's reduce texure quality and size option enabled.Now the game run with full effects enabled at almost full speed,same for many other games.The os run many times better

I upgraded to the last dorimax kernel 3.8 and overclocked the cpu @ 1612mhz

I m in this situation

last typhoon rom,last dorimax kernel,zram enabled,and cpu @1612Mhz (you can even downclock to 96mhz)

Please try it

If this method work thank dorimax for his awesome kernel

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hd2 head:
Ahhh,

Gingerbread 2.3.7 - I tried chainfire all settings and different plugins, cyanogenmod dragon surface dithering. Gta settings app distance 1 etc.

Better, but still lags. Music sometimes skips/repeats. Not really playable imo

Ice Cream 4.0.3 - runs A LOT smoother. Didn't need to change many setting for this. Still lags but best I've seen. I guess playable.

Both are oc to 1190.

This is all because of the kernal???

hey guys. i'm running on NAND using dansta's 3.3 sensation XL ROM. and i got the game to run at least 60% well using chainfire3D with powerVR plugin. the trick to run it well is to have the 1.3 apk and put the resolution to full in the display options menu. really, it seems to run a lot better when actually increasing the graphics and not decreasing them!! can anyone try as well and explain why?! i'm even running it with sound and works pretty well! playable with minor lag! maybe the new 1.3 is well optimized?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Axel85:
ok now it s working at a good speed,my configuration:

dorimax kernel 4.0

gta 1.3 version (you have now settings for video quality with this update)

in gta 3 video options i have:

resolution 30%

image distance 30%

quality low

shadows no

frame limit yes

With those settings I have almost full speed,if someone find a way to have a better graphic,please share
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] arabology:
i think the new 1.3 version is way better than before. i tried on tytung's ICS SD build and it works great. now i'll try on marc's new 0.1.8 kernel with full overclock on my NAND build. hopefully it should work perfectly :D

Haven't seen these posted in the Galaxy Nexus forums yet! This is a Hong Kong based store (I'm not affiliated with them in any way btw, I'm from the UK) who make cases to order, and when I was shown them by a friend a while back and I fell in love. You get to customise just about everything about the wallet-style cases, from what kind of seal you want, to the interior material, to the imprinted text.

However, looking at their GNote cases, I really want an exposed screen. Maybe if enough of us email them about it then they'll make them like that, too :) but for now, I like the E6 with credit card slots and a cash section!

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grzegorz.studzinski:
Hi All,

Since I got my DEFY I have WiFi problems. This issue only exists when WiFI has WPA/WPA2 PSK authorisation.

It is going like this: I connect over the wifi. Then connection works fine, I am able to browse www, check the emails etc, and after few seconds, minutes the connection stops working but still exist. I try to reconnect several times. Defy shows that is connected but nothing works fine. Internet apps or Market gives a message like the time is up, connection lost. I have to forget the conection in settings or reset device to get it working properly, but not for long.

And the thing is that there is only ONE ROM that works fine with WiFi on my DEFY. This is Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-RC1. Other ROMs have same issues. Doesn't mater if it is Cyanogen mod 7.1 stable or any MIUI or MS2Ginger. I tried almost all roms but nothing helped. So I had to go back to CM7.1.0-RC1.

Do you know what should I do to make WiFi working fine on other roms?

greetings,

Gregory

p.s.

Please, just don't tell me that I should change authorisation on WiFi router. This is not a solution for me, because I use WiFi in a lot different places.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkdevil1:
I think that's a different problem than we're having. It is finding the network just fine (and connecting) in our case. It's just that internet connectivity refuses to work after a few minutes, forcing us to disconnect-reconnect to get it working again :(

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
maybe changing the regulatory domain channels from 11 to 14 could help. this option is hidden by default, you have to enable it: change the value of 'ro.debuggable' from 0 to 1 in /system/bootmenu/config/default.prop, save and reboot. after that, the regulatory domain setting will be shown in settings/wireless/wifi/advanced. simply change it to 14 channels.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkdevil1:
@OP: Apparently the issue still occurs on the version you mentioned as well...just happens less often.

Hmm..weird thing is, I never had this issue on the stock ROM

Thank you for the suggestion! Just tried this, didn't resolve the issue sadly :(

Anyone have any more ideas? ;/
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrannel:
OK, maybe I just passed the signpost but... do you still have the problem if you set your "select network" setting to 3G only?

I ask because (and it may be different on my phone as I am USA, stock ROM with wifi calling) if you go into the INFO menu > phone information > set preferred network type, mine toggles between three radio preferences: "GSM only" (when wifi is active), "GSM auto (prl)" and -- if I set for 3G Only, "WCDMA only".

I have noticed that when "select network" setting is at automatic (or 2G only) it often has trouble transitioning from cell to wifi. And, when wifi is an issue, I find that "GSM auto (prl)" has been selected (which on my USA phone prevents wifi connection). However, it seems to have no issue whatsoever transitioning from "WCDMA only" (3G only) to "GSM only", which on my phone then allows wifi connection. Again, this is a wifi calling phone so may be different.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masspl:
Yep, same here BUT ! I get root browser, found my build.prop and change wifi chanells first time for 14 and it didnt help so i try other and my wifi works in 100% with 13 chanells. Try it :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTomi1975:
This is a widely know problem, many people are affected more or less. I'm also having nerve-blowing times with wifi sucking all over... Stock Froyo (and now Cyanogen 7.2) seems to be a bit more stable, sometimes everything is fine for a few hours, all downloads go lightning fast - and then suddenly things are screwed up. I tried a lot of MIUI releases as I like it most. MIUI seemed the most problematic so far. I don't know what is the cause, new stock Motorola Gingerbread ROM versions also have this issue (except one I think - look it up in the forum).

Agree, bothering with the router is not a solution. My Nokia E51, my EeePC, my girlfriend's Omnia and Lifebook - all work perfectly with all the four routers we use frequently. Not a single glitch - everything is stable and nice, except Defy.

I don't think is a hardware problem with certain devices, it seems more to do with the way Defy handles wireless connections.

Anyway, it's frustrating but CM7.2 and CEE Froyo gives a bit better experience than others.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTomi1975:
Which Froyo version do you use? A few times this wifi-bug occured also under Froyo. I'm thinking about going back myself, as Froyo is the only acceptable release to record hiccups-free videos :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkdevil1:
I followed this guide.

Flash it with RSD Lite (after booting bootloader)

Root it using the latest SuperOneclick rooting program

Install clockworkmod

Restore the clockwordmod backup listed in the thread

Wipe & flash fixed sbf using RSD Lite

Wipe again.

All done. Got me back to stock 2.2. I did have a temporary issue where it would only recognise 128MB internal memory. To fix this, in Android itself, do a factory reset.

BE CAREFUL: Don't use the camera until you complete ALL steps. If you use your LED on the first thing you flash, you will brick your LED.

If you have any questions just ask.

"If you're havin' WiFi problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a b*tch ain't one"

So I'm running a 2.3.5 DEFY+ nand rom on my 525 Defy with red lens and from time to time I get that Wifi issue.

What helped me yesterday was:

- enabling the Mobile HotSpot app (I had set up a WPA2 network)

- connecting one PC to it (not sure if this is necessary - try without it)

- disabling the Mobile HotSpot app

And that's it. Looks like the phone has some issues with gateway/dns assignment and setting up a hotspot resets some values.

Good luck..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caraboy:
I got the same problem on my defy, using Cyanogenmod official 7.1.0.

It`s annoying especially when using apps like Air Droid to copy files from your device.

To fix this, I open a web page on my device, before connecting with Air Droid, and after that, the connection seems to be stable for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielAraujo:
My red lens Defy's WiFi stability was greatly improved after I flashed the full 3.4.2-179 CEE Deblur SBF to my phone.

Connection would often freeze, despite the WiFi icon being shown at the top. I had to turn wifi off and then on to get it working for a few more minutes until it dropped again.

After flashing the SBF it has frozen only a few times, mostly when trying to copy files through SSH or trying to access 802.11n networks. I have tested it on stock, CM7.2 nightly and MIUI.

I disabled 802.11n connections by editing /etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

BTW... AirDroid is incredible! Can't believe it took me so long to try it. Thanks caraboy.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixaxis94:
I'm using a standard green lens defy with CM9 and it almost NEVER connects to my router (it connects to the wifi, but the icon is greyed out, and it doesn't connect to the internet)

However, I keep my laptop running all the time, and have Connectify running as well, and when connected on that, there's absolutely no problem (connects ALL the time, and never disconnects prematurely)

edit - I changed the security from WPA to WEP, and it seems to be working now. I hope it stays like this
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielAraujo:
I gave up on CM and MIUI because of those WiFi issues and decided to go back to the stock 2.2.2 from the SBF I mentioned earlier.

But Froyo sucks way too much so I kept searching for another alternative and found MS2Ginger. It's not installed as a full rom, but rather as a kernel upgrade + nandroid backup.

I finally have decent WiFi stability without FroYo. It lacks some of CM's and MIUI's coolness but I can finally watch Youtube and transfer files over WiFi.

MS2Ginger's developers claim they have found and fixed the WiFi bug that plagues the Defy. I hope they'll share that secret formula with the other ROMs' developers so we're not stuck to their solution.
