Hey guys i got a question. Before i did the OTA update to 4.4.2 i was getting Antutu benchmarks close to 36000. Now i cant even break 30000.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know why?
Also my device does seem a little laggier than before. It could just be mental because i see the low benchmark but idk.
I dont want to root it again. I bricked it originally when i i tryed to OTA update without removing root.
Any suggestions at all to help speed her back up?
noticed the same lower scores. :/
However idk that it feels slower. I'd say about the same if not faster.
The best suggestion that I can give you is to delete antutu from your phone. It causes issues with KK. If you remove all benchmark apps from your phone, you will start seeing scores closer to 40K.

Yeah, the same thing is happening to my g2. But I suppose real-life experience is more important than just a benchmark score.

After racking my brain recently thinking that possibly my evo was somehow screwed up internally, I found the culprit.
Here's what happened....
I got bored and curious so I flashed a CM7 nightly to assure myself I have been missing nothing. Did the usual battery of testing after I update all my apps. Pathetically slow. I was left wondering how people could be bragging of 1600+ quadrant scores on aosp roms while I was barely getting over 1000. On VP I was accustomed to getting high 1400's. It seemed smooth enough but I wanted my VP back. I did a fresh install after a few wipes, same routine, updated apps and found I was getting 951 on the quadrant score, topping out at maybe 1100. That is 400 points below what I was getting before using the same kernel etc!
This has gone on for days now, been reading xda, even bugged a developer to see if he had insight. Thought I was onto something earlier when people reported problems with DarkTremors a2sd since I had upgraded to latest beta 4. So I wiped no less than 7 times, even once in the bootloader. Installed VaelPak2.3a and my scores were back! Thought I solved it but nope. Installed VaelPak3.1 found my scores back to normal. Did update 2, scores still normal. Upgraded apps. Scores dropped 300+ points.
Pulled the Quadrant from the VaelPak rom, and guess what? My scores are back to normal! So, am I the only one who has upgraded Quadrant and seen a difference in scores?
[quadrant version 1.1.5 is the good working version, 1.1.7 currently in the Market is causing the low scores]
Damn you're right, I was getting 1800+ before and now with 1.1.7 it's down to 1500+. Not quite the drop you were getting but it's still a significant difference.
Is it possible that newer Quadrant is supposed to give lower scores now on same hardware because it takes into account better hardware/newer phones? Idk, just posing the question
The most recent quadrant update apparently shows lower score results. Same thing happened with Linpack awhile back, they say it's more accurate now :/
same here, dropped by almost 200.
I can't say for sure whether they wanted the drop to "be more accurate" since the change log for 1.1.7 only claims gingerbread compatibility fixes. If you notice, the comparison chart levels have not changed along with the result ranges. A standard EVO is still something like 1200 or 1250 like it has always been. So, I do not see these numbers being more accurate if I am scoring significantly less than a stock unrooted phone.
I guess what I am saying is that if a benchmark decides to adjust their rating scale, the comparison scale should follow suit.
Don't you hate it when you spend time trying to fix something and here it not you at all? Like the the sound goes out on the TV. Then you spend the next 10 min. reseting receivers your TV and every device in your house. Just to find you its the cable company. Man I hate that.. let the bashing of cable companies begin...
Also:
I used to run those kinds of tests on my video cards on my pc all the time. Then they started making them for better cards and my scores kept going lower and lower. Eventually I got board with it because I knew I had a good card. It was just their POS software was making it look bad. Haven't ran that app since. Hope that doesn't happen to quadrant.
no wonder, and i cant get 1.1.7 to work on my g1. can anyone kindly share me 1.1.5's apk?
googled for it but couldnt find any
thanks!
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

I've searched AndroidForums, Here, Google, can't find anything on being able to change the cpu speed without rooting.
Someone have the setcpu xda download page need the link, thx.

It might only be the international version.. I read it in a review from one of the tech sites.

Do you perhaps have the CPU Power Saving option on in the Power Saving menu?

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.
I installed the 4.2.2 update, I then ran Quadrant to see how things were. To my horror, the score has dropped massively. Prior to the update, I was getting close to 7000. I am now struggling to hit 5500?!
What is going on?

Nope, already checked that! Do you think it could be throttling it because of temp?
I'll tell you what though, I witnessed the FPS drop down into the 30s, during the GPU tests; very wierd...

Benchmarks?
Why do you guys keep asking for benchmarks ? they have nothing to do with how good your device is , even if they are real ,
as long as your device is smooth , stable and can run every program there at the google play store then your device is doing as good as all other good devices out there
Well I got 6800 in Quadrant after the update. Similar to before.
Benchmarks are sh**! They tell nothing. We would all agree on the fact that the phone has become faster and smoother with 4.2.2 update and gaming performance has improved

Hi all,
I've had my G3 for a little while now, and have noticed that my Antutu benchmark scores are alot lower recently than they have ever been.
Two weeks or so ago, I was consistently getting scores of 35,000+ and now I cannot get overall scores above 27,000.
Will post up images of the full results to compare shortly, bug in the meantime, any idea what could be causing this?

Do you have a lot of apps running in the background? Close them if you do. Then run Antutu.

Hi hwong96,
Before runing Antutu, I always close all apps and run smart cleaning. I've just ran it again, and got a score of 34,000 so it seems to vary quite alot.
Thanks

That's the problem with benchmarks, they will vary and are only useful epeen waving
I have a slightly defective Lg G3,
When running stock antutu is around 20k, quadrant is around 12K.
Now when i install AndroidNOW HD the kernel has a patch that fixes it, the phone scores around 25k Quadrant and 38-41K antutu.
I tried the 70-75-80% heat patch, but no dice, still no improvement, and i dont want to depend on a modded.
If i could identify the patch/correction that fixes this, issue and learn to apply it to AOSP and CM12. i´d be much happier since i dont have to depend on a specific rom from a developer that isnt extreamly liked here.
Scores are worthless. Bet you can't tell any difference when using it. ?
actually it does lag a little, also crashes once in a while.
no one as a clue as to this ?
Or are you just teasing me becuase im worried about scores ? its not only benchmarks, the phone shuts down, some games wont run, others run with artifacting...
