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.

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] 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.

Slow LTE speeds

Just picked up my new Nexus, got the job update and works great. My Rezound is getting over 20 mb down but the Nexus struggles to get 7 - 8 mb down. Any ideas why the much slower speeds?

So 4g is staying connected, but speeds are slow? I wonder if this is a software or hardware issue? This may be a silly question, but you are testing your Nexus with the same variables as you're testing your Rezound, correct? I'm certainly no expert on the matter, though, so hopefully someone who's had this problem can help you.

Yes, I tried changing sim cards, no luck. The Nexus maintains the 4G signal, doesn't drop, just 1/2 the speed of my Rezound. I even bought a jacket to slide the small sim card into to use it in the Rezound, which takes the full size sim, same results. I am running complete stock, not yet rooted, bootloader still locked. Live in a great 4G area and never drop to 3G.
HELP, PLEASE

Hmm.... almost sounds like a rx (radio) problem, unless you're testing inside a metal building or something. I'm looking to purchase one of these phones, so I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if someone can give you some answers. Did you purchase the phone new? If so, perhaps you could take it back and exchange for another new one?

Could you compare signal strength between your Nexus and Rezound?

Is there not much difference between 7-8 and 20 mb down? I'm still stuck in the 3g world at the moment. I'm sure speed varies depending on different variables, but if his Rezound is doing 20, shouldn't his Nexus be closer to that number as well? I just want 4g lol..... Most of my local friends have me jealous of their 4g phones. Thanks for the two year contract, Verizon.....lol...

Yes it is a "pretty big" difference when you compare 20 to 8. But in real life not so much. Anyway, I've been looking for a technical reason for the slower speeds on the GNex, but haven't found anything. They both have LTE 700 MHZ Class 13.
Only thing I can suggest to the OP is to make sure he has the latest radio.

not complaining about the speed but the major difference in the two phones at the same location using the same sim card. I am running the latest Jelly Bean update. I have several phones on different carriers and am very familiar with rooting a phone. I did get the phone from Verizon and paid full price because I wanted the Nexus. I have had all of the Nexus phones but never got this latest until now. Love the feeling of the latest update and didn't realize how much I missed the pure Google Android experience until I started going thru the phone. Now I just want to make sure I have a solid phone before I start getting too involved with it. If I have to swap it back, I will, just hate going thru that whole process.
Thanks for all the input,
Vinny

So basically it looks like a lot on paper, but not so much in practice. Sounds like this is a common occurrence with these phones.

I remember when I first looked into the GNEX on verizon. At the store, it would get the slowest 4G speeds. The sales person tried to get me to look into the droid razr maxx or something which had much higher 4G speeds. And I have heard that with the verizon GNEX, it has a few issues with LTE. Even at the store, I could see that it had a hard time switching back and forth between 3G and 4G.

Galaxy SIII after Jelly Bean update?

Hi Guys,
I've had the S3 while it was still on 4.0.4 and experienced the WIFI / Battery issues so I sold it and got a Note 2. My wife is looking to convert to Android from iOS (finally), but the Note 2 is just too big for her to handle.
How are you guys seeing the performance and fixes after the update? Hopefully it's good and maybe post some battery usages so I can compare? Appreciate it.

If yes, that went away for me with the 4.1 update.

Google Now, for me, made it worth the update. I'm able to get through a full day (from getting up till bed) with about 15% left. This includes a live wallpaper, constant synching, Facebook multiple times a day, 30ish emails, medium texting, words with friends, and much surfing of the Web.
However, everyone's experience is different. I was just listing mine to give you an idea.

[Q] Lower Antutu Benchmark after OTA update

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.
