My benchmark results LOWER than a Evo 2.2? WTF - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A couple of week ago I did a benchmark test, it came back 944, well below an Evo 2.2. A couple of days ago I rooted my phone, still on stock SENSE rom and I ran the test again, these are my results,

How the hell is this possible? Lol. I'm below a Evo 2.2 yet, my Evo is on 2.2. Can someone explain?

Does your phone perform fine otherwise?
Benchmarks are for the kids but it does seem a little low

The benchmarks don't mean anything, just gloating. If you overclock it you'll get better scores.

I hate benchmarks I think they are inaccurate, plus evos react different with every different rom you flash. If my evo is not sluggish then its fast. Maybe its time to try another rom. Find one that has all or most of the bloat ware taken out they seem to be faster.
Good luck.

Like stated earlier, those scores really don't mean much. If it bugs you, and you want to see a higher score, make sure a bunch of stuff is not running in the background before you run the quadrant test.

Use osmonitor or seepu+ from the market to see if anything is using your cpu, you probably have an app that is hogging it. It's possible that's a sign of malware too since the exploit they use will eat up your resources.

I posted about this a few days ago and got similar answers. I can't make mine go higher than 1150 (using Koni's Elite Series II, MS79723's SBC #15 v7 kernel. Did it on a fresh restart).
I have no idea what they're basing these tests on, but it sure as hell isn't our Evos lol.
Fear not though. Our UI runs on CPU and not on the GPU, so unless you play video games your benchmark actually doesn't matter at all. One thing the Evo is known for apart from other, newer phones is we're still running the Adreno 200 GPU while others have newer chip sets.
If you want faster scores here's some tips:
Get SetCPU and overclock your processor
Use xHausx's suggestion about checking to make sure your processor isn't being used.
Get an AOSP rom (like MIUI, CM6 or CM7). Without Sense, the phone runs faster and it'll show.
Get a kernel that performs better. Best bet is Netarchy for Sense. I don't know the kernels from AOSP.
I'm sure there's a few speed hacks/scripts/mods you can find too, but unless your Evo is actually the Evo 3D and not our Evo, then your benchmarks are gonna come up short.

As long as it feels fast to you I wouldn't worry about it.

my benchmark is lower, but my phone is still super smooth and you wouldnt tell the difference from scrolling or using an app. opening an app takes a lil longer
@245mhz

My phone lags, especially playing games. I'm also using Launcher Pro Plus, does that have anything to do with it? How can I get rid of this Sprint bloatware?

titanium backup will uninstall bloatware, our you can flash a custom rom with no bloatware included

What performance did you expect running a gps on 1 bar?
top kill

My non overlocked EVO running Tiamat 3.1.3 and CM7 hits around 1400 in quadrant. I'm happy with that.

[Q] Best kernel for CM6?

After realizing that I made a mistake by ditching my EVO for the Epic; I returned to the EVO and installed CM6. What a difference! Everything is great so far except for battery life (even using profiles on setCPU) so I was wondering what kernel would provide speed, reliability and battery savings. I'm currently running CM6 kernel and I'm getting around 1250 on quadrant (around the same results of the nexus one with froyo) so I'm happy with the speed so far but I would love some more battery life (I'm getting less than 8 hours with moderate use).
Thanks
What I learn is try a kernel for a day or two. Try another.. you will find one. Not saying do this but this is what I'm doing. Just like finding a rom.. always come back to cm6

yes and please, search around the forums before posting, you *MIGHT* get flamed a bit for it. but im using king's kernel #9...but im not on CM6. idk what im on hahaha i dont remember

Geez, my bad. For some reason I thought I was in the general section.
Can a mod move this thread to the general section? Thanks
Before this gets moved.. all hardware is different. On paper its the same, but what we have learned is that phones respond differently to the software thrown at them. As others suggested, try them out. Snap as well as Kings are excellent kernels. Just find there threads and I can't stress enough to read the op. Most of the questions you have can be found there, as it can be a little cumbersome with all the different versions for some. But yeah, make sure to give it a run for a few days before you decide its not working for you. Your phone needs to get used to it, so basing it off a charge after a few cycles is always a good idea.

Run Snap v7.5 for an increase in speed and battery life.
King's Kernel all the way, and I've tried all the damn Snap kernels.
Mostly, you should be managing your wifi/3g/screen off cpu settings.

Great Android upgrade news for the DEFY

Just in case anyone has missed this great official news from Motorola that the Defy is to recieve an upgrade to Android 2.2 (Froyo) and is planned for Q2 2011...
see here:-
https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades
This is great news!
I think this device worths froyo. Lets hope it want take ages to release it. Moto blur i think is a pain in the neck and will stall them though.
Sent from my GT-P1000
Well maybe it's really great but...Q2 is quite a long time.
But since we have our Defy category now, everything's fine and we could start working with our Defy so that we'll maybe get Froyo faster than Q2
yay!
But this chart also shows that motorola drops the support of all its phones after 6 months, so if we want android 3.0 or even 2.3 someday, we'll have to help devellopers do it!
But first we have to find developers that want to work with the great defy.
If we have them, I would also donate some money so that they can work.
How about the bootstrap recovery that the Droid X community uses?
Would be great
right now I would love cynaogen mod on this device!
I can't wait for 2.2 for the battery and speed increase. Right now my defy is scoring 1104 on quadrant; that's on 2.1 and it's scoring better than galaxy s and a bunch of others. Only the droid x and some others on 2.2 are scoring better. When the defy gets 2.2 it's gonna be a mean little beast.
How are you getting 1104? I'm getting around 935

Just to know, were there many apps in background?
Before performing the quadrant benchmark i close many applications that i don't really need (using advanced task killer) but all the basic services stay alive.
my benchmark history: lowest 1083, highest 1117, many of the times 1103.
Can't wait for 2.2!
Who needs 2.2? this is with JIT Enabled, however gettiing the odd force close with JIT so I have reverted
Quadrant is not a decent benchmark.
Nor is linpack.
How to enable JIT?

[CDMA] Any ROMs with 4,000+ quadrant scores?

I've always gotten lower scores (barely 2000, sometimes a little more than 3000) and was wondering if I was going crazy or this is normal. I've tried so many rom/kernel combinations but no luck.
I'm on AOKP and I'm getting 2068 and lower.
Comes from the Epic and the GS2, I was kinda expecting a lot more.

The updated quadrant reports much lower for all devices. The GN isn't as much of a "benchmark queen" as the SGSII has potential to be. Unless your phone is reporting a score far under what Quadrant reports as typical, don't worry about it.
I'm benchmark app free
There are a few posts around with people showing around 4000 on quadrant i think. Dont know which roms though. Search the benchmark thread.
ive found the BEST stability and over all best scores without over clocking with the official cyanogenmod 9 nightly i get 3000+ with that... but like the dude before said quadrant scores are all hype... just use a rom with good speed that works best for u.
I don't always choose a ROM based on 1 stat...
but when I do, its for Quadrant.
Quadrant doesn't really translate to real world use.. why do people obsess over quadrant scores so much? If the phone runs well it runs well I don't need third party software to tell me if my phone is running fine.

My best is ~3700 using AOKP B25 & Imoseyons 3.0.20 kernel. Undervolted, stock clocked and using Ondemand.
Never even used quadrant...

user experience > quadrant score
idc about quadrant, i just want a clean phone w/o bloatware with lot of resources and support
I owned a Sprint SGS2 and while quadrant scores were in the 3000's consistently and the GN is in the 2000's I cannot tell the difference in speed between the 2 of them.
Now with quad cores, they will even score higher but how much smoother can a device run then smooth as butter?
If you don't think your phone runs smooth, then try AOKP and turn your swag on. Let's see if the iPhone 4s can do that sh.t!
I get around 3200-3300 give or take a hundred running AOKP build #26 + franco.Kernel 18.6 oc'ed to 1350mHz (minimum 700mHz) and using conservative governor. The UV has been left as it came with the kernel or whatever.
I have to add that I just got this phone a couple of days ago, and I am totally and utterly giving this the title of best phone I have ever had. I can't believe the person I got this off of actually switched to an iPhone because of battery issues xD

benchmarked ROMS: stock GB v. leaked ICS v. CM9 v. CM9+HO!NO! kernel

I wanted to see how each current rom stacks up in a comparison, all roms were installed fresh- data wiped and all. i could not get the test to run with the HO!NO! kernel at full clock, even though my phone handles everything else fine at full clock.
each test was run 2x on each rom.

were you using antutu? this is what i got with it. All i did was kill all processes. running nightly from 6.11 and also using HO!NO! (thank you) v2 OC to 1.84Ghz
Hmm.. LG's ICS looks very promising for future custom ROMs/Kernals. Nice comparison.
yes, antutu. i think it's OK, benchmarks are what they are but I figure it should provide a generally good comparison. the only app installed on each rom was antutu and for cm9, gapps 3/17.

this comparison is not a speedy demon test, i've done that and posted that previously, I can achieve those results you posted with the stock gb killing processes and much more to get the phone in drag strip mode.
this is simply an attempt to compare ROMS on a generally = footing.

dangit Os, now you've got me curious how this cm9/HO!NO! can perform but i'm maxed at 1782 mHz! i'd bet this phone could tap 8000 fully set to race

The speed is very promising hands down. you cant go any higher than that speed? i know that every processor has its own share of DNA, but i would assume most would stop at 1.8

1. Benchmarks are not everything. 2. ICS improvements mainly come from its ui hardware acceleration and if you used it you would see the point of running ics. Its significantly smoother than gb ever was and it manages memory better.

Correct for smoother, I experienced ICS for 2 days b4 went back to GB. For memory, I don't know about it's management mechanism but I saw it used more memory.
funny that my nitro hd in stock2.3.5 scores 5647 total but get 1522 on gpu what is a lot.But i dont know why i get really bad I/O (430) i think its cuz the sd card is class 2 16 gb wich is slow.

[Q] Quadrant Benchmark

I noticed alot of people on the forums posting benchmarks after installing different ROM. I decided to download Quadrant just to see what I was pulling. I scored low in comparison to what I've seen, so I just completely wiped my phone back to stock (data wiped and then ODIN) and tried it, and pulled a 4678. Flashed CleanROM SE 1.2, and it went up to 4706. I've seen some people between 5k and 7k. A few videos I watched, people claiming to be completely stock were getting 5600+. Any clue what's wrong here? Is there anyone else out there that is stock that can benchmark and tell me what they get?
Thanks in Advance,

Read through the benchmark threads and you'll come to understand a few things:
- benchmarks are useless as an ongoing measurement. They merely show capability potential.
- your benchmarks will vary not only based on the rom and kernel, but what other apps you have running as services, what specific device configuration you have set at the time of running.
Does your phone perform amazingly doing what you want it to do? That's the only relevant and important measurement.

Right. I understand what you're saying and that software environment can change the results, but two out-of-box state phones should score somewhat close to each other, yes or no? In comparison to what I've seen, my CPU is where I'm lacking. I also understand that I can OC and hit higher scores, but just comparing it to other phones that claim to out-of-box / stock - I'm scoring low in comparison.
Spy is probably right. But benchmarks should be somewhat similar
This is running DAGr8's AOKP Bullet build.

I've been following the saber kernal for a while and seen that some guys are running the saber kernel on clean rom OC'd. Not sure if that what your looking for but that would put you right up there along the 7k mark.
I don't try to squeeze out numbers on the quadrant thing but I have ran a few times just to see. I score right about 6900. Note 2, CleanRom 4.0.5 with the kernal from that rom and no other tweaks that I know of that would increase the score. I am not over clocked or anything. Seems fine to me
Sorry to bother you guys with that silly question. Total user error. I had power-saving mode on, and it didn't even occur to me. I pretty much turn it on first thing anytime I reset my phone, and do it without thinking anymore. However, after resetting back to pure stock one more time, without power-saving mode, I actually hit 7168. Basically, I was trying to see the difference myself of stock performance verses a different ROM / kernel. I would also like to see the battery life difference for myself.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone for their responses.
