Why is the Quadrant score on the Defy so low when running default ROMs? I know under CM7 etc. it can fly but under the UK 2.2 ROM clocked at 1GHz my handset only just crack 1400 where as a Huawei Ideos X5 clocked at 800MHz blows it off. I have noticed the spinning planet test though the X5 cracks on at over 40FPS but my deft is struggling to get past 10 FPS.
Is this solely down to Motorola's implementation of Android or is it a hardware limitation?

I found this video with the new LG-LU3000 Android device with OMAP 3630 CPU at 1 Ghz. In the video can see that the new LG is faster than Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone!!
I hope that the custom ROM will come soon!! (with OC)

I can't post direct links, sorry
Maybe i'm wrong but omap3630 go up to 800 mhz not 1ghz. Instead, omap3640 reaches 1ghz.
take a look here, but there are many other sources, just google for omap36xx.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_OMAP
Btw, defy itself is equipped with 3630, motorola's specifications say 3610 but they also include a powerVR graphic chip (which is ONLY present in 3620, 3630 and 3640 processors), so it's clear it can't be 3610.
Then i agree with your, TI cpus are great, in my opinion a lot better than qualcomm.
The Defy one is underclocked afaik.
If you check your wiki-link and and follow the Cortex A8 reference, it clearly states the CPU supports everything between 600Mhz and 1Ghz+
Overclocking should start beyond that point, because the CPU supports the mentioned speed already...the defy doesn't use it to increase the battery-life.
Yes i see, 600 to 1000 mhz. I was not 100% sure so i wrote "maybe i'm wrong".. but this is better than i expected.
So, defy + froyo + overclock to 1ghz =
I'll be happy enough with 2.2 and without overclocking. Also, FWIW, the processor range according to android system info (market app), the processor can run at 300, 600 and 800 mhz. My defy is scoring higher than the SGS as it is on quadrant.
I love the defy. My first and as of now favorite android phone. Not as pricey as some of the "top end" android devices, just as fast and powerful (moreso in a lot of cases), rugged, great battery life. I'm hooked! It's a mini beast!

I'm afraid you're wrong.
Just because the CPU supports a 600-1000MHz range, that doesn't mean that it will use the same amount of power at those speeds.
If you look at the likes of desktop and laptop CPUs, they down-clock to reduce power usage when there's less load on them.
So, yes, Motorola's decision to clock the CPU at 800MHz instead of 1GHz may well be a decision to save battery life.
That's what i wanted to say
Sry for my bad english :x
is there any way to overclock to 1G? using setcpu?
Is there any good reason to overclock it?
hey guys!
i'm kind of a noob, so forgive me if i write something stupid i've watched a few videos of other phones being benchmarked with quadrant, and at the part where the planet and it's moon shows, other mid-range/high-end phones have no problem playing it flawlessly, and with my defy i get around 10-11fps, and some textures don't even show! is that because of a poorly optimised gpu driver, or what? any ideas? do other phones with sgx530 gpu do that too, or just the defy?

It's all right, i get 9 fps at stock speed (800mhz) and up to 12 depending on the OC applied.
Maybe Defy is not so brilliant in that specific test but the overall performances are great compared to other phones with similar price.
Also consider that many devices have huge score on quadrant benchmark but they're actually not so fast.
Some of them also have stagefright enabled, as a result the quadrant benchmark fails to decode h.264 and gives huge scores...
So, don't trust quadrant too much, our gpu and drivers are ok!
thx! actually i couldn't be happier with this phone, it's by far the best in it's price range (even if we exclude it's 'life-proof'-ness and great overclocking/undervolting capability). this was just something that caught my attention. anyway, thanks again!

I read this article and noticed they mentioned the G2X which is for T-Mobile. Is this kernel for our SGSII?
Sent from my SGH-T989
that looks like the "classic" SGS2 clocked @1.2 Ghz stock
I'm guessing this will not help us in any way. Thanks for the quick response I'm at work and dont have enough down time to do my research.

The phone in question is the one with the Exynos (spelling?) processor which supposedly runs faster and better than our Qualcomm one.
But by no means is our Qualcomm processor a slouch.
well according to that blog, they went from 1.2 Ghz stock to 1.6 Ghz... that's gonne be melting real soon
while our phones stock is 1.5 Ghz and even running at 1.8 Ghz continuously is still within safe temperature above normal
one night i fell asleep while playing a GPU CPU intensive game, and when i woke up the phone was WARM but not BURNING HOT
according to temp sensors it was at 48c
unless it goes beyond 50c i wouldn't be worried
my i7 extreme edition has been running on 60c 24/7 for the past 3 (almost 4) years just fine
I was using Huawei u8800 before Desire Z, and i must say, even tho they have the same hardware (adreno 205), games like temple run were really smoother on u8800.
Also, on Antutu, with same cpu frequencies:
u8800: 900
desire z: 750
same difference on quadrant. anyone knows what makes vision get lower scores and performance? (im not using sense btw)
Hey guys, I have an international HTC One X running Cyanogenmod 10's 20.01.2012 nightly build (Jellybean 4.1.2) without any overclocking. I just did a benchmark with AnTuTu v3 and got an overall score of 14770. Looking at AnTuTu's website, an average One X seems to be scoring only 10288 so I guess my phone is doing well, although for some reason, on the actual AnTuTu app's ranking page, the One X is scoring an overall of 14022 so it's actually much closer.
But when looking at the scores in detail, it looks like my phone's 3D Graphics is only scoring 3087 compared to an average score of 3907 on other people's results and my Database IO (don't know what that is) is only 125 compared to 550 on other people's One X. Does anyone know why my phone might be under-performing in these areas? Thanks a lot!
PS. According to xda-developers' description of the One X, it's supposed to have an ARM Cortex A9 processor whereas in AnTuTu, my CPU model is listed as a Quad-Core ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3, NEON). Are they the same thing?
