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.

phone heats up and restart with all custom kernels

has anyone else experienced this? i have this happen to me quite a few times using bullet/synergy kernal
basically what happens is that my phone will always heat up and crash then it restarts itself..even when it's idle
i've used faux clock to keep my phone from ocing but this still seems to happen..

Try Fauxs kernels.. always stable....check your OC setting and UV settings...flash it and use at it's out of the box setting

i tried undervolting it by 12mv and my phone was ok, then i went a bit lower and my phone crashed again, not quite sure if i should try another custom kernel, i feel like im on the brink of bricking my phone

Yeah..not all chips are created equal...so keep it to where it's stable and you should be good. Flash Fauxs.. leave all the settings as it came and see how it does for you

i dont think its actually a chip issue
my settings were
1.512ghz max 384mhz min
and
at screen off
540max
384 min
my phone heated up and crashed when i turned the screen offf..so it seems more like a software bug rather than hardware imo..
i think you misunderstood me lul. so here's the entire story
i flashed synergy a couple weeks back and had this issue, so i thought o well and went back to eaglesblood(which is pretty much stock everything)
then i decided to try jugs+bullet, it seemed fined until i went to sleep and wokeup with a phone that has its battery drained and is hot to the touch
now the settings were set to not overclock, so it doesnt seem like my chip is causing the issue

If your chip heats up enough to cause it to crash and reboot...that's not a good sign man..especially if you've tried different kernels and don't have crazy settings.
One more flash won't hurt right?
Maybe try a new combo... different rom and kernel?

im on faux right now
it does sound bad, but its been fine when im on eaglesblood(stock kernel)
so im a bit confused all around

thing is, im playing gta 3 right now and its barely heated up, so it confuses me why it would heat up and crash/restart when its friggen idle..

Like some are saying try faux's kernal. I used to have the same problem when ocing my sgs and g2x everyone's phones are different but so far faux kernal is very stable

read up lul, im using it and it's been good so far

ya the faux kernel is doing really really well
on synergy/bullet i used to get under 4500 antutu score..
now im getting 6458 and im not even overclocking..

I unerstand this isn't what was asked, but I've never had heat issues, using the stock roms cleaned-up by myself after root. The new 2.3.6 is solid as well.

Galaxy Nexus Unusable

Here's my problem: no matter what app is used to control my CPU, no matter what ROM I use, or Kernel I run, my phone cycles over and over down to 350mhz. I've even changed the voltages and governor to no avail. At this point I want to throw this thing against the wall and go ballistic.
Does anybody else have this problem? Or know how to fix it.

Does this problem occur when you are running stock?

Stock root yes. Never had the problem while unrooted.
Sent from the Nexus of another Galaxy.

So...what is the problem?
The phone spends most of its time at 350mhz on any kernel.

That's weird, even with full wipes in between your ROM flashes it still cycles down to 350? You've also selected run on boot in your kernel settings and verified that the init.d file was written? Do you keep restoring with Titanium Backup or something after all your ROM flashes or do you actually start fresh?

The problem? Have you used this phone at 350mhz? It's worse than a G1 on Eclair...I didn't buy the latest phone to run at 1/4 of the max. Not trying to troll, but the lag between key strokes as the processor cycles down and up over and over is ridiculous. It makes the phone a terror to use.

Yes, I wipe repeatedly just to make sure. No Titanium for me. Yes, run on boot is good.

Your explanation was confusing. I thought you meant it was spending most of its time at 350mhz, not stuck with 350mhz as a cap.
Have you returned to stock? Because rooting alone won't do this.

I apologize I wasn't clearer. The phone will switch to a high frequency and then drop all the way down to 350mhz and stay there.
No matter how much I try and change it, the phone will switch frequencies for roughly twenty seconds and drop down to 350mhz, regardless of settings.
After 3 or 4 times of doing this, the phone will stick to 350mhz and not change at all, until I reboot the phone.

As a test, use something like setcpu and cap yourself at 1.2ghz and see if it stays there. You might have a bad cpu.

I had this same problem using setcpu on my old htc sensation.
I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. I think I just got rid of setcpu and stopped messing with the clock speeds.

Blah. I hope it's not bad. Dealing with insurance blows. I've done that already but I'll try again.
Maybe I should just rewrite the kernel so that 1.2ghz and 1.35ghz are the only options.

No joke rofl. Having a very hard time understanding whats actually going on here lol.

I think I just put it all together. He claims 350mhz to be "1/4" of the max. So he's trying to oc to 1.4ghz and his cpu, like most, can't handle it and the system clocks down to minimum on its own.
Could be wrong but his case sounds like exactly what happened to me when trying out 1.42ghz. Even on performance gov. It just isn't stable on all cpus. Voltage tweaking may or may not help.

I'm having this same issue, was anyone able to figure out what causes it?

high heat temperature issue on higher than 920Mhz speeds (AOKP+Faux)

Ever since I had my nexus I only flashed AOKP and Faux's kernel. But the annoying part is that when Im using interactive or ondemand and the phone go to a higher speed, the phone gets too hots, and when it reaches 1200Mhz it gets too hot to the fact that I cant touch the top of the screen or the back cover on the camera side. Only way out of it is me using conservative and UC to 920Mhz and the phone wont reach that speed anyway. Any help please?
::No more than whatsapp and Gtalk are installed::
::Heat only happens when the screen is on. when its off it goes into deep sleep without wake ups::
::I have a GSM Nexus with WiFi only on and 2G connected without data::

Hi,
Temperature is subjective,I mean if you just touch your phone and say "it's hot"...
If I wash my hands with cold water then I take my phone...I find it hot...
Cools your hands (in the fridge ) and use your phone 5 mins, you will find it very hot...
There are already many threads about this...Arrrrgh,can't use the search function ,but for sure for the last week there is about 2 threads about that...
Try a fresh install,starts from scratch with full wipe etc,just your current ROM and if it continues flash another kernel...
Monitor your CPU temp with an app,not just your feeling,it may be biased (System Tuner for example or maybe an app like cpu temp,on the Play Store),for their respective (if you test anothers) kernel try Franco kernel updater or Glados control to monitor the CPU temp.
Also see if there isn't an app,a script,etc...that could fully or almost load your CPU...

2.1Ghz Overclock like on HTC One XL

Hey guy's I noticed the one xl just got kernel sources recently and the result? Insane oc! I was just wondering how hard it would be to match the 2.1 frequency on the galaxy s3 lte as they both run Qualcomm s4's.

The 1.9Ghz we currently have isn't enough for you? !!

Ahaha, well the thing is I returned my one xl for a galaxy s3 for performance reasons. I love to get every bit of power I can from my device and I somewhat expected the s4 to hit the 2ghz barrier soon after it was fiddled with. Battery drain is not a deal breaker for me.

Depends the phone is quite new give it like 2 or 4 weeks tops. Right now IMO development is kinda slow.

is overclocking a phone anything like overclocking a PC? I've never Oc'd a phone before but have plenty of experience on PC.

Way more simpler actually.An app shows you your available frequencies choose the one you want and done.Oh and its live OC to.

Overclocking a phone is not easier than overclocking a PC.
Phones have many CPU steps so you have to find the right voltage for each step.
Also you can only change CPU voltage and frequency. (Some kernels allow you to change bus speed which is nice but alot don't support this.)
The only sensor you have is battery temp.
Furthermore, when overclocking a pc, you can just run prime95 for 10 hours and you know your stable. With the phone there is no difinitive stability test so sometimes something might trigger an instability afte you have been "stable" for a while.
Also no third party cooling. (As far as I know)
Im not saying it's really hard, but honestly when you come from PC overclocking you will probobly get frustrated about some things.
All that being said, overclocking a phone is super fun and I hope I didn't scare you away from it in any way.

Am I the only one who isnt interested in overclocking in the least bit? I mean, the damn thing is fast enough already. I can understand overclocking something old like a nexus one, but wow. What do you guys get out of OC? What do you use OC for that requires the higher speeds?

If you have to ask this then don't worry about it. The average PC doesn't need more than 1ghz. We overclock because we can!

I custom built my computer, im sure i can overclock it to who knows what but it being so new i don't even think about it. Maybe in 2 years when it starts showing age.

Most people that overclock their PC will get a new one before they really need the speed anyway. It's just because its is fun. And plus if you know how to overclock, there is really no reason not to. It's not like it's a trade off, its just free performance.

gotcha, i wasnt meaning to be disrespectful, i just never understood it unless needed.

You should try overclocking your PC. You might find that it is very fun.

I said simpler because in my experience I just select the frequency that I want and it causes no stability issues and under volt each step by 25mv.
