tyson Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hi all, I've purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 - 7 for Android testing. While it's a decent tablet for apps, it's just perfectly terrible for rendering HTML5 games.All games on the BoosterMedia network seem to either be **just** barely playable, or not playable at all. After trying to fix this with my own games and dropping the resolution to 240x160 (but scaled), they're much more playable but look slightly worse. Any downsides to this solution apart from the obvious lower quality? I feel a playable game would trump a better looking one.

Solidus Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 My Samsung Galaxy SIII doesnt run even the least intensive HTML5 games with Chrome. Firefox works a bit better but even simple games are a bit slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy234 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 My S3 runs everything fine. I can play the game well on default browser and also on chrome browser on s3. In firefox game seems to lag a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remvst Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I've got an S3, and everything runs perfectly, sometimes even better than on my laptop. And Firefox looks faster, or at least smoother. Did you try to update the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentuat Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Tyson - I'm surprised html5 games are running that bad, what version of Android do you have on it and which browser? I have a tab 2 with android 4.1.1 and generally games run pretty well in chrome and firefox. The stock browser and dolphin have the touch-freeze issue that makes games pretty much unplayable - but seem smooth in terms of frame rate otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyson Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Ah. I see the problem, apparently I have ICS. Seems to be a common problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hmmm... quite interesting. I was wondering why my games ran so terribly on this phone, but my friend has a phone 2-3 years older and games run fine!!! Firefox: Works Great!Chrome: Won't even load.Stock Browser: Works Great!

tyson Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Updated to Jellybean, and the difference is like night and day! ICS definitely has stinkingly awful support for Canvas. Might try to detect ICS on my game to drop down to 240x160 to support those poor people running it. --Tys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsushi Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The stock browser and dolphin have the touch-freeze issue that makes games pretty much unplayable - but seem smooth in terms of frame rate otherwise I found this setting in Dolphin. Not sure if you were referring to the long press menu that pops up.But you can disable it in Settings > Lab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
