Quadrant standard question?

Is a 1767 good on a g2?

Also got an 1898 when I took off my live wallpaper

I hit about 2100 or so...depends on whats running

You'll hear a million times from a million folks that Quadrant scored are meaningless. You can have a stellar score and a buggy ass ROM or an average score and a great smooth experience with your ROM. Just gotta use what works best for you and if that also means high Quad score cool. When I OC to 1.8, I get over 2500, but it sucks my battery like a filthy back alley hooker.

Gotcha, im running virtuous 1.0 with advanced kernel(virtuous as well) OC'd to 998mhz.

my battery life isnt good in general, barely get's me half way through the day, and that's with following the other thread stating to delete the sense account and all.

So this is me at 1.8ghz a little while ago. Found out that if I run it set to "Performance" in SetCPU I get stellar speed, but as soon as my screen shuts off it won't come back on. Need to do a battery pull or hold down power for like 10 seconds to reboot. Eh, such is life.

@tjbunch
Here's my solution for that problem. In the setcpu profiles, make a profile for screen off and set the speeds to as low as possible. Like 245/245... ever since I did that I've never had that problem again. Hope it helps.
Edit: don't forget to set priority to the highest on that profile.

[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.

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!

Quadrant is a horribly outdated benchmark, don't rely on it ever.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

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.

Processor Question

Hey I was wondering, does my processor take breaking in? I just returned my other s3 because of defects but with this completely new one the quadrant scores and antutu scores are very low.. only like 3300 on quadrant and something low on antutu also.
The average stock benchmark scores are around 4800 and 6800 in antutu. So will my phone start breaking in and speeding up?

Those benchmarks mean nothing
As long as the phone feels smooth ignore benchmarks

True but I'd like it to run like everyone else's...

Honestly it's just a matter of feeling like your on the top of the food chain =p and for the record, after afew hours of getting my processor warmed up and kicked in, my scores jumped way up

I don't need benchmark scores to know I'm better than every one else

Not to be rude. So sorry if this comes off all flame-Ish but you do realize that a CPU is made out of soi transistors those don't hold state if anything the heat slowly changes the resistance in negative ways over 1000s of hours of use leads to heat increase and eventual failure over a very long time line well that's how it goes in x86 computing only if stuff gets hot though. If it stays below 100Ish you don't see the heat increase part.
No seriously though Linux uses a cache so does dalvik and beyond that Android also uses a cache so benchmarks being subjective aside yes it takes a bit.
Just remember benchmarks are there to test changes and compare hardware. On Android....really Linux in general its almost impossible to compare hardware sometimes. The difference are not something that translates and. All of Android operates through a vm pretty much. ..
So your stuck back at comparison .using them to create a applicable baseline for say ....those tweaks you make in setcpu or maybe that shiny new kernel you flash vs the last version.

I'm totally not with him though. If you are altering settings in your phone like cache stuff. You want to quantify the effects of the changes any way you can not that linpack our antutu or that complete piece of garbage quadrant are the defacto meter for that

I don't understand how I go from 3800 in quadrant to 5089 after a few hours of nothing but stock lol.. then 4200 antutu to 6867.. but it goes up and down a little. I like to think processors are getting more advanced and are becoming aware lol. Turning into brains. Give it 5 years and hardware for phones will be so good we can play wow on them and then later on s voice will have a real personality and be living XD she will shock you for even thinking about looking at an iPhone or HTC =p. I know I'm sleep typing or something and that this is all random XD

Could it be possible that your phone was busy building cache files ? If you get quadrant pro it give you a breakdown of each score if you notice your I/o score is low then the filesystem is busy doing god knows what .

Low Quadrant score for CM10-stable?

I'm running CM10 stable on my GS3 T999. No problems, but I noticed that the Quadrant score is around 4200, which is about 1000 pts slower than running stock TouchWiz. What gives?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

OMG, your phone must be slow & sluggish!! Maybe you should overclock it to 2100 to get a really high score!!
Seriously, quadrant is stupid and just throws random numbers at you. If your phone feels fast then there you go. If it feels slow, then go back to TouchWiz.
