T989 Quadrant scores

I have seen the videos showing 3800 scores. I bought 2 of these today and i can not get above 2700. Anyone have any suggestions?

My first two were 3300, third time 2800.

Quadrant doesn't matter!

its the GPU on our dual core snapdragons that lag behind the other exynous cpu-equipped sgs2 variants. Unless you're a hardcore gamer these numbers are meaningless. Other than that this phone does remarkably well in real world use.

on first run i hit 3500's

yeah, except you dont have snapdragons.... you have scorpion.

i hit 3400 on stores demo unit .scores will vary i usually just run three tests and see what the phone does that will give you a good idea

Yes, I got mine yesterday and figured out how to get past 3800. No mod/tweeks needed.
Proof is in the attachment.
Reboot phone -> end all processes -> Run Quadrant(4 - 5 times) generally the 4th or 5th one is the highest score.
I start from 3200-3300 and end up between 3700-3800.
I am also sure that with mods and better overclock you can possibly hit 4.5k

Your right. Rebooted ran it and hit 3200 then 3799.
I was more wondering on this. I actually love this phone but cannot believe they took the tethering and wifi calling out. Tethering I'm not worried about as soon as we have root we will get it.

Are you sure about tethering and wifi hotspots? because I do see an option for it on my S2. I just tried it and the wifi hotspot does work aswell.
It is the pink icon called "Wifi Sharing".

Correct. The official name of the chip is Snapdragon S3.

The phone is all over the place with quadrant scores. My highest score has been 3801 with my lowest being around 2400.

Try cfbench it for dual core cpu's

I got 3500 yesterday. So maybe like everyone else says quadrant doesn't matter? But it is still mild indicator of how your phone may be to me.

Asynchronous that's why once someone gets the cores to take on task together instead of acting as an individual cpu you should get more stable quadrant scores. Quadrant does not if I'm correct no the difference between two cores or 1 core.

It is there but when you go to it you get the notification for the upgrade to your account. It is not unlocked like most phones thru them.

yea games u can see it doesnt run well at all and i play alot of games like city jump u can see the frame rate being lost

it does matter other phones quadrant scores are not all over the place they are steddy and i shouldnt have to reboot my phone just to get a high score looks to me something is not working right with the phone i do see some lag playing 1080p videos in the web so maybe the developers can fix these problems

Just got one of these phones as well, unfortunately, I feel like home screen swipes with all alternatives and touch wiz are really laggy. Anyone else experiencing this? The scroll just seems to get jerky when you swipe. Really annoying.

[Q] Low Benchmark Scores

My benchmark scores are horrible. My girlfriends mytouch 4g slide continually scores better. Just doesnt seem right for this flagship phone. Anybody else?

Benchmarks means nothing.
If you're using Quadrant Standard, you're basing it off a benchmark designed for single core CPUs and hasn't been updated for months. Not to mention, it is not optimized for ICS or multi-core CPUs.

Hi,
What benchmarks?
In what conditions (i mean if you run benchs in charge+10 benchs the one after the other->overheating->thermal protection->decrease cpu freq->lowers score/very low RAM/rogue/etc...)?
Rom?
Kernel?
Scores (especially in what benchs)?
And the most important is that your phone works perfectly?
Indeed,the benchs are sometimes subjective...
I agree Quadrant is out of age
The must is Antutu (bench "multiple things"),Cf Bench also but sometimes very inaccurate...,only certain benchs testing the cpu,others only the gpu (fps 2d/3d for example)and the other yet another cpu + gpu...
Screenshot of your benchs?
Much more detail would be welcome

[Q] Extremely low quadrant score. What do i do?

Okay, so the other day, i ran quadrant on my gs2 against my brohters gs4g and i got 3259 and my brother got 938. I tried again today, and i got 1208 and the gs4g got 1190. i ran the test seversl times and the same result, nothing more than 1300. I didn't change anything from the first time i ran the test, so is my phone messed up? I know most people don't really like quadrant, but i use it because it kind of gives me peace of mind knowing my phone is better thssn everyone else's

Don't worry about it. It really doesnt matter.
Sent From The Best Phone of 2011

Reboot your phone then wait for about 30 seconds while everything settles (dont run any other apps) then run quadrant. What score did you get this time?

I tried the reboot thing after the first low score and pretty much the same score

Quadrant doesnt go well with Dual Core Snapdragon Processors. I've been getting 2000 each time a ran it. Try ANTUTU Benchmark and see what you get.
Quandrant doesnt define a phone of how great your phone is.

Or CF bench works well!
SGSII T989~ juggernaut v4.1~synergy v0.10

Quadrant is a horribly outdated benchmark, don't rely on it ever.

I'll take what AnTuTu Benchmark gave me.. Listed me at 6327... Just over the Nexus ;-)
Main thing that brought me down as my stupid SD card because I have some generic piece of junk --- EDIT: Just ran it against the internal SD, and I got 6577. Even above the Galaxy Note ;-)

I know that quadrant is not optimized for dual core, but that doesnt explain why i was getting 3000+ and it just dropped to less than 1000
Btw antutu was 6492 idk if thats good or bad so...

These threads get so old. Does everything work on your phone? Is it smooth and responsive? Then who cares what some outdated benchmark says. You are the benchmark.

I changed the rom on my friend's mytouch 4g and he scored 3246 on miui oc to 1.6 ghz lagfree, It beat my gs2 running zombie oc to 1.72 ghz lagfree 2976 i dont think quadrant is an accurate benchmark at all, so markus is right, YOU are the benchmark.

[Q] T-Mobile S3 - Low Benchmark Scores/Processor not going 100%?

I've had my Galaxy S3 from T-Mobile now for about a week. The phone seems to run perfectly fine. However when I attempt to run Quadrant for example my friends are averaging anywhere from 4900 - 5300 for their stock T-Mobile S3. My same phone, stock, everything closed/killed from task manager, only manages to score 3100 - 3600.
When I check system information in Quadrant sometimes it says my current clock speed is 912Mhz, 1134Mhz etc.. Rarely do I see it at the full 1512Mhz..
Power saving mode is definitely turned off. Even after doing a factory reset and running quadrant on a fresh install it still scores the same. Beginning to get frustrated this phone isn't living up to the hype.
Ideas anyone? Thanks.

I did a battery pull, killed all my apps, cleared my memory, waited a few seconds, ran Quadrant again and still can only manage to score 3100.

No offence but who cares about benchmarks...... the phones soooo smooth and awsome

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Don't have mine yet but I have seen someone have the same problem on here and what was wrong with theirs was they didn't know they could set the CPU Max mhz in the settings. Perhaps yours is not set to Max? Not sure where exactly in the settings it is but I'm sure it isn't hard to find
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

I've been through the settings menu in the phone numerous times. Have not seen an option like that nor do I think it exists? For the most part the phone runs smooth I do notice it lags/hangs up sometimes but I'm guessing that's because the processor isn't going to full potential.
Anyone else have any ideas or where I can find this mysterious setting?

I've noticed on my sprint phone that as the phone gets warm the upper limit that the CPU can scale to seems to be reduced. The day I got it the first quad run was about 5k, but after 30min of nonstop usage the next run was down to 3.5 or so. Check it yourself with setcpu, it will start capping at 1100-1200.

I will check it out but considering even after a battery pull and letting the phone sit power off for an hour I still get crappy scores. Then theres others who can run Quadrant back to back to back to back to back and achieve 4500 - 5100 constantly. I can't even get it on one try! I'll download SetCPU and see.

If you are that concerned, wipe and try it all over again.
EDIT - Damn my spotty reading, you already tried that. Sorry. Not much else to do, unless you try to restore the OS through Kies. A fresh install from a fresh source?
Or sell it on craigslist :laugh:

The phone works fine. Everything is very smooth and responds fast. It's pretty much just the benchmark scores that are throwing me off. I'll see what happens with the second S3 I will receive tomorrow. I can't imagine the heat playing a factor because this S4 is supposed to be one of the coolest running processors out there. There's a huge video on it somewhere where they did a butter melting test. Anyways time will tell I suppose.

Why do you care so much about benchmarks? Also the phone won't ramp the processor up to 1500 if it has no reason to..

What's the point of having the newest hottest phone right away? To be able to say it can do what others cant. One of those things being blowing away other phones in the benchmark arena. I just don't see why others are able to hit 5000+ scores and my device can't seem to even come close. It just makes me think there's something wrong with my handset. Do you blame me for being skeptical after the price we pay for these things?

Considering you say it works just fine and are basing these problems that you have off of Quadrant..
Also I guess I will try and help since you are from Chicago they're should definitely be a setting somewhere that allows you to change the CPU settings. I'm not positive where but I did read in a review this was the first phone out of the box able to adjust governors. I would look but I'm on CM9

There is a setting for this, it's actually incorporated in the power savings mode. If you read through it, there is an area that says the max cpu speed is actually lowered when it's enabled. But, if you're not using the power saver mode, then it's irrelevant to your situation. It could have to do with the bloat though, and also the international is almost double the scores as ours yet there is minimal difference in speed presented in side by side real usage testing. I wouldn't get too hung up on the benchmarks, it kind of ruins the enjoyment you get from just using the phone, and seeing how smooth and flawless most everything is. Also, once debated and tweaked, those scores will most definitely improve and will probably ease your mind a bit.

High benchmark, what set up?

I eventually ran a benchmark on my CarbonROM install on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, clocked at a max of 1.6
But, I saw that my device compared to others is just super super low, I don't have the numbers on me as I don't have my phone, but if you're one of those people who have a high benchmark score, what's your setup?
I know it's said that benchmarks aren't important, but they at least have to mean something with performance.
So, what are you running?

Try flashing franco.Kernel. Makes a huge difference!
Before franco: 2204
After franco: 2932 (Quadrant Standard)
ROM: PACman ROM, 1.2 GHz

Seriously, there should be a thread stickied for the bench freaks, all in the same place. *sigh*

See, the thing is, benchmarks really do mean nothing. Benchmarks don't affect how well your device performs. If it runs fast, it runs fast-- you don't need the benchmark to know that.

Yeah. Because being able to crunch 110,000,000 triangles vs 90,000,000 has real world implications.

Yay! It's been a while since we've had a thread to remind us how useless benchmarks are and offer us all an opportunity to debate about it, yet again.:good:

I make my words what Chainfire said, but globaly.
If you trust benchmark results, you'll know that running naked in the garden for 5mins will affects performance by 20%

Neat, alright.
So absolutely nothing?
That really doesn't make any sense to me. Those 90,000,000 triangles being processed will at least show me how well it will do in a game, to a degree, right?

Not in any way you could actually notice. That was also an extreme hyperbole as far as differences go. To be totally honest, the only real value of benchmarks is stress testing an OC but even then there are better ways.
