[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

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

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.

Why is the default voltage so damn high?

I get having it be higher than necessary to avoid bugs... but the 153mhz CORE slot can go to 90mV down from 8-900. That's 1/10th of the original voltage. Why would Google/Samsung ship it using so much more than what it needs?

Those are MAX voltages...and I call hogwash on the 90mV, unless you are disabling smart reflex. Then I would want to see some actual proof.

Lower than 70mV is unstable. I didn't disable smartreflex, but even if I do it makes no difference. Maybe someone else can share their lowest voltage for this. I'm sure I'm undervolting it as it becomes quite unstable if I input 60mV, so obviously something's happening.
Yes, they're max voltages, but even with SR it doesn't go below 886 or something.

I find that tough to swallow. Did you actually verify the voltage with a kernel log?

What's the easiest way to do that? I'd like to confirm it myself. Like I said, I know it's doing something because at 50-60mV there are instant issues.

You have to disable smart reflex for your voltage settings to work. It isn't going down to 90mv. Disable smart reflex and then set that, I doubt your phone will run.

Voltage Nominal=75000, Calib=75---, margin=38000
Seems to be the most relevant. And yeah, I've got it at 75 right now.
And I've disabled SR as well, it doesn't change anything. And the voltage settings definitely do work witohut disabling it as, like I said, going too far down will cause a crash. So obviously it's doing something.
Have you guys tried undervolting that far?
And I'm doing this with franco kernel updater. The widget is showing the Core voltage to be 75.

thats 900mV and 750mV. and there is a large variation between individual devices. some can handle much less and some cant handle a tiny bit less. but undervolting too much will end up using more battery to achieve what it needs to achieve from working longer/harder to get there. 90mV without or even with smart relex will cause your phone to freeze then reboot.

Why? I know that underclocking would do this - the time to finish a task at a lower clockspeed is longer.
I don't see how lowering the mV can possibly increase battery usage.

no, you are right. i didnt see that you mentioned core. after looking at the original post i see the core now. anyways, at that low a voltage it will operate, but wont be fully functional.
---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------
anyways, i dont know what that app is reporting, but franco kernel can only be set to a minimum of 830mV. looks like a mistake or a bug in his app. im gonna email him.. https://bitbucket.org/franciscofran...e9aa9b26/arch/arm/mach-omap2/voltage.h#cl-184

It seems functional... I mean, clearly the GPU is working (and at that voltage according to the app) because the screen is on/ not artifacting.
Is it just incorrectly reporting it? Is there another way to confirm it? Dmesg was not clear.

check the link out that i just posted. franco kernel can only be set to a minimum of 830mV, the app is reporting wrong. its setting, but not actually setting https://bitbucket.org/franciscofran...e9aa9b26/arch/arm/mach-omap2/voltage.h#cl-184

So what is it actually setting it to? Because if I set it *too* low it still does give me errors... so how can it be both?

i think it gets set to 830. i let francisco know, we'll see what he says.

Alright. It's just weird. Because if anything under 830 is setting it to 830, and 830 is stable (because 95 shows stable) than how would 830 be unstable when the UI shows it as 40.
I mean, 90mV is kinda insane. It would definitely make sense if it were more like 830. It's just confusing.
Hopefully francisco can explain.

Hmm, then why does setting an absurd voltage like 200mV cause an instant reboot while I can set it to 830mV and it runs fine?

Yeah I can set it to 830mV and it runes fine. No issues until I drop to 60mV. I haven't reached a limit for any of them.

Overclocking of LG G4

Hi everybody,
I want to know if we can overclock our Snapdragon 808 to 2GHz (ARM A72 cores) with a modified kernel.
Also, If somebody is going to work on this challenge.

A57 cluster, probably yes. I'm also working on a kernel, but I intensely dislike Overclocking because it isn't all that useful. The key to performance is with optimisation, not with raw power. So I'm most likely not going to include it, sorry.

What about underclocking and/or undervolting?
I think performance is good enough as it is, but would like to get better battery life.

I would like to be able to undervolt in order to relieve the bugging high temp warning. This phone rarely uses max performance. So, overclocking is not really a priority. Maybe a custom hotplug.

Crappy cpu. No point messing with it.

Hotplugging has been dropped not long ago. You'd basically need to reinvent it. Plus it costs more power than it would save

And what about undervolting to prevent excessive heat, @mythos234?

yea i guess undervolting is the only benefit here coz 2 ghz wont be hard to achieve but getting that overheating msg sooner aint worth it...
next thing u know is accessory back plates with mini fans to keep the phone cool...
seriously tho what good is the extra power for ? the phone is already fast with the correct setup (not that i saw any lag when it was stock)

anyone knows how to see the cpu binning in this phone?

A number of people have gotten over-temperature messages, sometimes with the phones even shutting down.
This has been reported with using navigation, I believe, and I know people have reported it when shooting video. High screen brightness is likely a contributor. But there are examples of the phones running too warm.
Personally, I'd be more interested in cooler running, and longer battery life, rather than increased peak performance. So underclocking, if anything.

Well, the overclocking is not necessary, but is an opportunity to know the limits of the chipset. Moreover, with it we could know if we can make undervolting to our phones and make it more battery efficient with an underclocking kernel, when we need it.

Happens to me too when gaming. The problem I observe is that Indeed, it is not excessive heat. But LG thinks otherwise.
You can actually underclock using Kernel Auditor and disable cores. Unless you meant Undervolting.

Currently using Kernel Adiutor to disable both A57 cores and the phone screen does not heat up like before... Battery life has improved from what i saw yersterday. Continuing testing today. Only problem i have is the damn phone will enable one of the A57 cores after a while which i dont like. I need my settings to stick.
Any Kernel Dev know which files are causing this? Tab 3 had something like this but a couple of files changed solved the non sticking settings on cpu.
Overclocking/underclocking sure but just disabling cores would work for most.

I haven't had any popups or heat related reboots, so I was wondering what the matter is here.
On every phone I see complaints over heat so I wondered if something is to it here or if it's the usual. And if there are overheating warnings and shutdowns, then there might be indeed something in the bush.

Try charging your phone in the car whilst using google maps to get to an important meeting, and then take a call just for good measure............and boom, there you have your own little meltdown.

That happens on every phone I ever had though. It's advised to not use a device while charging at all, so if you stress it to 120% while charging, of course it heats up..

What Temps do you reach using cpu intensive apps?

HTC 10 very poor performance

hello,my htc 10 performance is very poor so i decided to stress test my phone using the antutu app.
as you can see the cpu load is varying between 80-90% but the speed deosnt pass 1200-1600 mhz range. the maximum frequency is 2200.。
i have lag in almost every graphice intense game
i have poor performance and i dont know what to do, should i return the phone and request another one or is there something i can do?:crying:

Im getting pretty much the same problem, download an app off the playstore called fps test and can you tell me if the framerate seems to stick at 50fps then jump to 60fps then back to 50, or just stays at 50.

Just the basic google search,also cache is cleared and i factory reseted the phone a week ago but it didnt really do anything

Just did a stress test in antutu like you did.
My wifi was turned off, no apps in background, everything stock, new phone.
I got almost the same results like you, a bit better though, but my cpu speed frequency doesn`t go over 1600 mhz. It looks like this is normal. 820 cpu can run at 2200, but it is always a bit underclocked on smartphones.
It must be that software (HTC firmware) is doing some harm to gaming

Try downloading an app called fps test, its icon is an orange circle. Can you see what the framerate is on it/ whether its stable. I've never ever had this problem on any other phone.

Read something yesterday about HTC shutting down one of the cores once a certain temperature is reached, dunno if that is what's causing your issue, there was also a work around in the rom / kernel section which upped the temperature before the setting kicked in...

Have you turned on High Performance Mode in the developer options?

HTC 10
This isn't as simple as saying its the phone itself. Android is an open source OS with a number of different devices so it's harder to optimize games for every phone, then with the higher screen resolution on newer phones this can also slow down frame rate. Another thing that has caused issues is the Nougat update which they are suppose to fix soon, this could be why an older phone runs games smoother due to lower screen resolution and and older version of Android which has had time to be perfected and receive necessary updates. The HTC 10 is actually a gaming beast compared to other Android devices. With the HTC 10 you can go into developer options (by going to ABOUT phone and clicking on "build number 7 times, developer options will then be added into your settings. Inside developer options you can then click "high performance mode" which will over clock your CPU to boost performance (only use when your phone is plugged in because it will drain battery fast). By scrolling to the bottom of the screen click advanced and you can then turn off animations (this will make your phone a little faster). If you want higher frame rate click (force gpu rendering) this will help boost frame rate by offloading graphics onto the gpu freeing up power of the CPU (this may or may not degrade graphics slightly). If you want to improve 3D graphics you can click "4xmsaa".

Question Oneplus 9 Pro overheating very often

Hey beautiful people, I need ur help.
Whenever I play games like Wild Rift or use my cam, my phone keeps dimming down and giving me a warning message about the phone overheating. How the fek do I turn that off? I can physically feel my phone being warm, but far from hot! My op8 got far hotter and didnt do that... Is there any rom/kernel combo that lets me control that? Service menu via dialer doesnt let me in... Help much appreciated!

Sadly, the one's that bought this device have fallen into a trap. The 888 is a true waste of precious semiconductor, worse, it's really unoptimized in the OP9P with really bad ventilation/cooling and pathetic battery life.
The real (old) OnePlus ended with the 8T. Sell it off mate, genuine advise.

Snap 888 problem, i have mi 11 and have same problem. In iphone 12 pro max too if screen more than 90% bright

If I'm in the sun, it'll overheat, but other then that I haven't had any issues(knock on wood). I'm running Omega kernel.

Turn all OP display features off, turn on 1080p & no game mode.. .... Sucks but works. Curiously enough, we shouldn't have to be doing this... SD888 is an unfortunate thermal hazard failure

It's shame. I was hoping to give 9 pro another shot (and finally ditch s21 - oneui is rock solid but not my thing) this week. There are some good deals on amazon.
on the other hand some people claim they've never experienced any overheating issues.

Is there really nothing you can do whatsoever, but turn off 120 Hz and qhd?

Is not only this phone. These Snapdragons phones are becoming a heat epidemic. ASUS so far is building vapour-chamber cooling system to their ROG phones. I use a radiator fan on this 9pro. It has wireless charging, 15w. Keeps the phone cool. I play a lot on this phone. Check on the internet for Magsafe charging heat dissipation fan. Benks makes one of the bests. It holds on tight, keeps the phone cool, and wireless charges it.

Oh my... I hope theyre gonna fix it somehow... So youre telling me, even if I root and flash kernel + rom I cannot turn off this stupid ass function?

Yes I am rooted. And I terribly cannot record 4k videos on my OnePlus 9pro. Over heating message pops up right after 1 minute and phone has to cut out the recording experience. I've reached out to them on their community platform severally but it appears it's a general issue. I am new to this kernel thing. And if you sure testify about omega eliminating this problem, then I definitely gotta give it a shot.
I bought this device to make videos and now it's not serving the purpose.

Download a kernel manager from the Play Store, backup your current kernel, then flash Omega if you meet the requirements and know how to get yourself out of a bootloop or a soft brick https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-oos-omega-kernel-oos11-august-14-2021.4271027/

Sorry for "ressurecting" this thread. Just wanted to ask if anyone could share "his best solution" as in Kernel + rom combo or anything like that... Or stick to stock + arter?
