Hey, I noticed that my win32 program ran at 60fps like it should, but my android app only ran at a maximum of 30fps. I thought this was a bit weird, because my app so far isn’t very processor or gpu intensive, and my phone is pretty powerful (It’s a Samsung Galaxy S III).
I wondered if this was just a problem with my app, so I opened the HelloWorld app and ran it on my device, and it too only ran at 30fps. I even removed the TTF Label and the background, and it still wouldn’t run any higher than 30fps.
Is this a known bug? Or is this just a problem with my configuration?
It’s a known limitation of Samsung Galaxy II, only to cocos2d-x games, but also all apps, including html5 games in browsers. It’a amazing that Galaxy III has this limitation too.
Other devices can works on 60 FPS
update:
Samsung Galaxy series (i9100, S3 etc.) have a “Power Saving” mode in settings. If you turn this on, the FPS is limited to 30 on all apps. Turning this off can have 60 FPS

I think Samsung Galaxy S3 is fine, I have my Arrow Mania game running at 60fps using “cocos2d-2.0-rc2-x-2.0.1” running on it right now.

Update: Just got hold of an Samsung Galaxy S2 (model GT-I9100M), works at 60fps on that too.
See the image attached.
Oh and I thought to try the Helloworld app too, I can confirm that runs at 60fps on the Samsungs.
In there you can try my “proj.android/bin/org.cocos2dx.application.ApplicationDemo.apk” file that I built. I get 60fps on both Samsung Galaxy S2 and S3.
Strange, it only runs at a maximum of 30fps like the other apps. I’m using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running a custom Rom (Beans’)…what are you running?
