New S4 stuttering when playing games

[dunamis]

Was wondering if someone can help... What can possibly cause the stuttering when playing games like hill climb or even ski safari. Sometimes it's really bad.

Wondering if th esnapdragon battery guru could be causing this or is something wrong with my phone? Any way to test?

No issues here. Maybe a hard reset?

Is there a way to test if anything wrong with my phone ? I don't have lag in other things just when playing the two games (only 2 games I have).

I suggest you exchange the phone because thats not normal. My s3 handles the games easily.

Make sure you're not on the power saving mode, it 'll slow down the CPU in order to save battery.

I just wanted to know if there was a way to test if there is something wrong with my cpu before going to change.

Like I said I don't see lags when doing other things. Only those games.

If the S4 is lagging, then the One would definitely lag.
Stop the jokes. Your signature and previous posts don't help either.

As for me, I downloaded Hill Climb Racing and it ran smoothly.
Have you tried a hard reset?

No I have not done a reset.

Sorry for my ignorance. How do I reset?

Power down the phone by holding the power button.
Take out the battery, wait a bit.
Put the battery back in, and press the power button to turn on the phone.

Hopefully that helps. Good luck!

If there a difference powering down just taking the battery out and restarting from powering down first and then taking battery out and restarting?

Reason I ask is I have spare batteries I use and several times a week I replace the batteries when needed....

I'm not entirely sure... I just know that it is called a soft reset.
A hard reset is when you do a factory wipe, according to some websites that I just google'd.

It might be the snapdragon battery guru you say you have. Maybe disable it when playing games?

So are saying that s4 can't handle this game? I don't believe that. I don't know much but I'm confident this phone can handle this game.

What I needed help was if there was a setting I'm over looking maybe that might be causing this or if there was a way to see if something truly was wrong before going through the trouble of exchanging and stuff...

Hi dunamis! Have you find a solution to this problem? My S4 mini is stuttering also when I play games. I test it with: Subway surfer and Jungle run and in both of them my S4 mini is randomly stuttering. I don't know what to do. Should I return the phone or is a common culprit of the s 4 mini's?
