Bad performance on Motorola Milestone

Solar2D Android
#1

Hello,
We are using trail version of Corona and have builded a pretty small tech demo project.

Performance Problem:
We’ve run output build apk on our test devices and here the result:

  • With 1.6 build
    Very bad FPS on Motorola Milestone (running Android OS 2.1 )
    but the same apk run smoothly on both HTC G1, HTC Desire and Samsung I5700.
  • With 2.x build
    No problem

This should be a bug in your Engine. There is no way to get good performance on HTC G1 but very low FPS on Milestone.
Texture Error:
There was a texture problem on our test device too, right after we re-open game after press home button.
Here the instruction:

  • Open the application (we’ve used direction.lua, therefore we don’t know it is a bug from Engine or direction.lua’s solution)
  • Press home (hard key) to go to desktop (on the phone)
  • Long press home and select game’s icon to re-open it
  • Some texture is missing and my game turned to gray box or just simply invisible object

Hi, can you give me the APK file of your app? I want to test it on my HTC Legend because there I’m having bad performance too, so maybe it’s the same thing…

Hi, the real problem is turn-to-background feature in Android OS.
If you press home button on the phone to place a game to background for a long time (30-120 minutes) in my case, then long-press on home button and select the game to open it again: some textures will turn into invisible or gray (see above screenshot)
