This is the 3rd time this has happened, and its been every time I have tried to fly a long haul. I have never been able to complete long haul flights as such. I’m not running a slow device either, its a 2-month-old Razer phone, and i have a decent internet connection and proper device cooling. Why?
Are further app optimisations coming in the future?
So it isn’t just me! Unlike you, I believe my case is hardware related, however the app is very sensitive, crashing if I change the volume in my device, and then freezing up on final for absolutely no reason…
I didnt even do anything to make my app crash. I think I breathed wrong and when i looked back at my phone, nothing was moving. I died a little bit inside.
Nah not happening for me, about to complete a 20 hour flight and if I crash it will be a first. I only have crashed mid-flight when I selected tower view when over the Pacific
That’s really weird since the update came out I had zero crashes and I always fly long haul 12hrs plus maybe my device is a god? It does not overheat it’s a IPhone 7s Plus.
Do you clear your RAM and restart your device before every flight?
Guys, before suggesting the most basic things that would probably be correct on some older devices;
The Razer phone is a smartphone purely designed for gaming.
I’d say this is probably just a optimization issue.
That’s the downside with Android. Loads of hardware combinations and software tweaks in the OS depending on manufacturer.
Some work better with Infinite Flight, some worse.
I close all apps prior to launching IF. Then the Razer phone activates the game booster which turns up the clock speed of the CPU. I have it customised to run at maximum speed, 2.36 Ghz…
What if you don’t do that and let it run normally? I don’t think it’s intended to be run at longer time periods.
Can you reinstall the app on a razer phone? If so do that and see
No, I am using the Galaxy S8. But since the same has happened to me with my old device, I think that I can help.
As I see, you are using the game booster for a LONG haul. Using the CPU at its highest settings for such a long time is not good. I know, the Razer Phone has got one of the best cooling systems for mobile devices, but it is still a phone. The cooler is small and the Snapdragon 835 is a very good CPU. Try playing without the game-booster or change its settings for Infinite Flight. A friend of mine has got the Razer Phone and he can play it smoothly without problems.
If that doesn’t work, factory-reset your device. But I think that the problem is using the CPU at its max for such a long time. Even desktop-PCs have got that problem sometimes.
iPhone 7s plus never heard that before!
Aaaaah. I see. I can tune it back all the way down to 1.36Ghz and try again.
I’ve had same thing happen to me about 3 different times. I would notice lag on descent then at around 1000AGL phone completely freezes or exits app on it’s own. Has mostly happened on LHs but I did have it happen once on about a 5h flight. For me, I’m pretty sure it’s a server connection issue. If I notice any kind of lag or stuttering early in the flight, it’s best to exit out and clear your RAM, then load back in. Device: LG Fiesta 2, Android.
I don’t think that it is a server connection issue. Your device has a Quad-core CPU with 1.4GHz which isn’t very good. Also, it has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage and only 10GBs are usable.So I think, in your case, it is a device issue.
If that was the case it would that every flight. But I hear where your coming from. It’s a relatively cheap phone I know lol. But 90% of the time I have no issues, and that’s with running IF, IF PAX, and IF-A at the same time. RAM used during is usually at 75% or less usage and still have plenty of storage. So it has to be an issue elsewhere I would think since it’s only an occasional thing that happens. Sometimes you just get a slow connection to the server or it gets a tad behind on data transfer and can’t catch up because like I said it only happens very rarely. Btw, I see you quite a bit :) just not much for spotting unless I’m close. Also it has seemed like IF PAX is a possible culprit for the lag. Maybe Android or something, sometimes I don’t run IF pax and it seems to run a bit smoother.
Think packet delivery and sending
Then i’d say it’s a local issue for you, but i think that’s what you mean.
@anon36571935 - data transfer are made in small data packets. :)
