For some odd reason, some games stutter heavily on my iPhone 3G with OS 3.0. Both mentioned games (NFS:U and Ferrari GT) suffer from this and the screen freezes 1/20th of a second or so every 2-3 seconds. This happens during the gameplay and in the menus (!) as well. The fact that it happens in the menus tells me that this is not because of hardware limitations in the iPhone...
I've jailbroken my phone, but in my attempts to troubleshoot the problems I've restored the phone to original firmware and tried the games both pre and post JB with no difference what so ever. I have also tried removing the SIM-card and enabling Airplane mode. Another very odd thing is that the "Lite" demo-version of Ferrari GT is completely stutter free and plays with perfect frame rates! I haven't used the phone with any firmware other than 3.0 (it's a week old) so I am not sure if the new firmware is what introduced the frame rate issues.
I've spent hours upon hours googling for similar problems and youtubing videos of these games but I am yet to find a single person with the same problem! Every video showing the games show them running perfectly. It's possible that the videos I've seen are running OS <2.2 however...
I'm getting quite sick of restoring the phone just to find that the problem won't go away! So my question is, is the problem actually that the games need software updates? Do you guys see the same problems on your phones, or should I send mine for an RMA?
