[Q] Bad performance? 1563 in Quadrant... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody!
After installing the DocRom XXJPO v9 with lagfix Ext4 ALL (a=e4), schedule kernel, I/O, etc.. and tweaks, and I get 1563 in Quadrant's benchmark(I've just installed, i never ran the test before)...It's a very low value, isn't it?What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Take test scores with a grain of salt. It's not the best way of assuming something is wrong with your phone.

Actually if u look at the other scores unless something has changed I'm pretty sure that is still the highest s ore on that list. No worries.

Uh, yea. I get something between 900 and 1000 depending on the day with official 2.2. Mostly I assume down to the piss poor filesystem speed. It almost always looks like it has hung on the writing test.

Thanks for the responses!
I've read that some people got 2000 and even a little bit more. I guess they overclocked!!

People may be using an overclock but to the people with the 2000+ scores are using the EXT2 binds option/OCLF.
When using OCLF quadrants shows huge scores in the filesystem part whereas it may not reflect the actual performance of the phone.
Personally so far, hardcores new K10C kernel is by far the fastest I've used yet. He's updates a few things in K10C and my phone is really, really fast. You notice it more in the app drawer and when the phone is under load. I'm also using the all EXT4 option.
You should give K10C a go and see for yourself.

Paul, I'll have to wipe to install this new kernel?

... Quadrant scores are pretty meaningless. Only be worried if you feel lag when you're using the phone.

my scores breach 2000(by 3) but im not overclocked. look at my signature

I'll try this new kernel, PaulForde, thanks for the tip!
nwsk, you're totally right, but sometimes I notice some little lag in my live wallpaper, and I don't have lots of apps in background. That's what made me think about it, install Quadrant and compare the results with some others.
By the way racerboy3801, I see you have BUJP8 v9 installed...[offtopic]Have you noticed any differences with JPA/JPO?[/offtopic]

Lag Fix

Will we see a lag fix on our phone like the Samsung Galaxy S has?
Birdman was supose to be working on one but haven't heard anything in a really long time about it

What lag? Only lag I have is on the lock screen

I wouldnt call what they did to the galaxy s a "fix".
its a quadrant trick. thats it.
Its a lag fix that also effects quadrant but don't be mistaken, it does have an effect on the UI, as well.
Last I heard birdman was working on it

Someone mind filling me in or linking me to what you're talking about? I have no lag on my X and I didn't hear anything about the S having any.
No lag here. Smooth as butter.
I have lag issues with pulling up contacts from the address book. Sometimes it can be up to 30 seconds where no info is displayed about the contact I clicked.

If that were really the case, then why havn't the x's quadrant scores gone higher than 1500 with the update? Cuz on my vibrant I went from 800 to 2500 after the one click lag fix.bat ran
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Because we don't have a lag fix... There isn't lag. The Galaxy S gets huge scores the same way the X does. And the Hummingbird processor is the best one out there right now. Do the stagefright true mod and your X will hit 1800-2200 in Quadrant. It's only a number. I've personally hit 2050 but I don't much care about it. It runs just the same at 1400 because Quadrant bases a huge portion of that score on HD video decoding not actual processing speed. And I have many widgets and programs running to top it off.

Stagefright is disabled in this build of Froyo for the Droid X. Thats why the scores are ~1300-1400. Stage fright is ENABLED by DEFAULT in Froyo so enabling it is actually making the device stock.
You are all missing the concept of the "lag fix" the Samsung Galaxy uses. All the lag fix is doing is creating a virtual file system due to the Samsung Galaxy using their proprietary RFS file system, which is good on flash memory and flash memory alone. The data directory they have is actually located on the Internal Memory (Integrated SD Card) Which is NOT true flash memory (NAND) and therefor lags due to using RFS instead of a superior (sector based) ext2 3 or 4.
The DroidX does NOT have this problem, we do not use RFS, and do not have the poor data partitioning scheme the Galaxy has, therefor this fix would do nothing for the Droid X, moreover it is not needed. The only benefit you would see is a higher Quadrant score because ext3 and 4 contain journaling which utilizes RAM as a cache, tricking quadrant into thinking you are writing and reading database entries in an unheard of amount of time... So if you want fake results, then port the fix. Just keep in mind we don't need it.
EDIT: I posted before I got to root and inspect the file system fully for the Droid X. The only idiotic thing I can see is Motorola chose to use ext3 as their system partition. Perhaps they had good reason, however /system is found on NAND, and NAND should have a filesystem designed for it, the benefits are significantly greater... A yaffs2 file system is what should have been used for /system as it is with many other phones, I'm not sure why manufacturers (Samsung.. Motorola) are starting to move away from using yaffs2, however at least Samsung created a file system meant for flash, and didn't just throw a sector based FS over NAND...
In all honesty...who cares about quadrant scores? I know I don't. If my phone runs smooth, snappy, and there are no delays when doing daily (non-intensive) processes, what does a quadrant score do for me? Nothing! It's just a pseudo-statistic used to brag about the speed of your phone. When in reality, I guarantee my X on 2.2 leaked update getting 1500 quadrant scores runs just as smooth as a galaxy getting 2300. I'm just kinda sick of everyone complaining about quadrant numbers. If the phone is fast when using it...then it's fast. simple.

[Q] Your Quadrant score?

I had a chance to try it in corp store, but the result is disappointing.
Only 15xx? Are you kidding me?
With same Tegra 2 CPU, my A7 can achieve 2400-2500.
What is yours?
Is your A7 running stock firmware?
Quadrant is 1995 on stock.
Quadrant 1867 37.769 Linpack
As I thought dualcore means nothing reason I love my Nexus s with its 2825 quadrant score people better wake up as to the marketing that's going on

1913 for my Streak7. Tested right after restarting.
1900- ish with about 250 MB RAM available....
39-ish on Linpack...
For those that may not know...
The quadrant score doesnt really mean anything right now. Reason being; Froyo doesnt support dual core, so until HC gets ported, you will never see the full potential, even though its already there. Anf even when it does get ported, it really depends on which filesystem we get this running on a custom oc kernel. For instance, etc3 has trouble with the read/write db, even though the kernel is super fast. And rfs and jfs dont have that issue as much, but usually arent as fast as say a voodoo kernel.
Dont rely on quadrant or linpack. Right now, but not for long, the DS7 has the fastest processor on an android tablet, but we cant even use it to its full potential. This is why I know we will get HC, its just a matter of when we will get an official release from Dell/T-Mobile.

Thank you for clearing this up. I did read about Quadrant and 2.2 not supporting Dual Core a few months back.

[Q] Linpack for android..am i lacking?

Ok so i flash theses beautiful roms and now ive tried some testing and currently on my captivate i ran the "linpack for andoid" app and it states:
MFLOPS: 13.982
time: 6.0
Norm Res:5.68
Precision: Inaccurate result
ok so i looked at the top 10 section ounder my phone and their MFLOPS is between 20-50 MFLOPS...So do i need some tweaking?..I mean the phone is good , Rom is awesome...any thoughts?
Captivate 1007
Phoenix 5.2 (2.2.1 JS5)
Speedmod i897 500hz k13c
UGJK4
Lagfix enabled
(r) Tweaks enabled
I wouldn't worry about it. First, your test said inaccurate results, so try running it a few times, though you probably won't get much more out of it. Secondly, most people believe these benchmarks are a load of BS, and I would trends to agree. If the ROM feels snappier and works smoother than stock for you, there really isn't any use in the benchmark scores. I'm running Serendipity 5.11 with the same kernel as you, and I find my scores are in the low 14's- which, as is for you, seems slow compared to the online results. However, my phone supposedly blows the other results out of the water in the Quadrant Standard benchmark, regularly achieving scores over 1500, and I imagine yours would perform similarly, so no, I wouldn't worry at all.
Overall, most of the roms on here achieve faster performance along with better battery life compared to a stock cappy. I suggest trying out as many roms as possible to find the one that fits you best, as everybody has different tastes, and each rom behaves differently for everybody.
Personally, I think Serendipity is something you should try, as it looks friggen sweet as is, and even better IMO with some tweaks. I changed the battery indicator to the android dude, the font to Armani, and use launcher pro over the base rom. Altogether, my phone is super slick and snappy. Oh yeah, it also accesses HSPA networks, so downloads are way quicker than stock (pretty sure your current rom does too).

that's about right, repeated tests should get you 14+. it does say inacurate so i dont think you have a problem, just a process running somewhere. the hummingbird lacks a bit in this area and snapdragons excel only in this area. i know it is weird that the nexus one and droid incredible smoke this phone in linpack but it is hardly a thorough benchmark. run quadrant on CM7 when it comes out and see what the hardware is really doing without the samsung influence. despite the low mflops you will see good scores across the board.
Thanks alot for the input everyone...jus curious how gen-pop was adding up... but who cares about the numbers i suppose when my phone is soo [email protected]## cool hahha

Just for the record, I'm on stock Froyo, With no SpeedMod, but with voodoo lagfix and I got better benchmark, linpack and quadrant scores than I did with a custom rom and Speedmod kernel before. Add to that the stability of a native ROM and kernel, and I think you know what I am saying here...

Quadrant test on 2.3.5

im scoring 2588 2456 2648 2652 2679 2770 2716 for the full benchmark test im thinking this is pertty good i think the sg 2 scores like 3000
I thought people understood that quadrant is a useless benchmark?
i didnt know that i just though it was a way of comparing phones why would it be useless? and if its useless then are there any proper benchmarks?
I know it means nothing but I like comparing the scores with all roms just for me.With vengence I get over 3000 with doom around the same.I use it just for me to see the difference is scores.

ya thats what i use it for to nice to see with a custom rom this phone scores just as high as the other top end phones and it has 3d
I main performance lead on the gs2 is due to the ext4 file system. If we had ext 4 we may even out pace the sgs2.

Extremely poor performance on stock. Help please?

Hi everyone. I have never rooted my Bionic, but have always been disappointed in my performance. I bought it on launch day and just stuck with it, and it has been a huge disappointment ever since.
Well, I think I may have come across a reason for the disappointment. I ran the benchmark test Quadrant.
My first run? 1700.
My second? 1200.
I said, whoa, hold on a minute, people were getting 2200-2500 on stock when the thing launched.
So I did a factory reset, and after the last three runs of Quadrant I'm getting about 1400.
Something is seriously wrong. I installed CPU spy and nothing seems too out of the ordinary. Yet these scores are worse than the Nexus S, and that's just crazy. I know the Bionic is a better phone than that.
Is there a hardware problem with my phone causing these low scores? What do you think I could do to fix this?
Which version are you on?

5.9.905, which is the latest OTA firmware.
I just ran it and got 1465, and I've noticed that my Bionic has gone to hell lately. Poor battery life and overall poor performance. I would love help with this!
Edit: Using CPU Spy I found that when my phone isn't in deep sleep, it spends the large majority of its time at 300mhz, almost no time at 600 or 800mhz, and a small amount of the at 1000mhz that is significantly less than the time at 300mhz. Is the problem that my Bionic for some reason is getting stuck at a lower speed?

Well there are 3 things that could be contributing to this; your microSD, your choice of apps, and/or not using your built-in task manager to stop apps that are wasting memory.
But it's worth noting that Quadrant Standard won't show you the individual scores, so it is a poor tool for diagnosing problems. I suggest that you also not go by other peoples scores. They may be using mods that you aren't.

As I said in my post, I did a factory reset. Everything was wiped off the internal storage. No rogue apps. The only thing installed was the benchmark itself. I also tried the benchmark without the microSD to no avail.
And also, the scores I have read have been from day one purchasers of Bionics on stock. I ignore anything that does not specify that it was achieved on stock, and everything I have seen has been 2000+.
There is no reason my Bionic should be scoring 1400 and lower.
You should root your phone, it gives you things you wouldnt have dreamed of!
Don't know what to tell you...just got a 2683 in Quadrant on. 2333 ICS leak on my Bionic (though mine was bumped to.1.2Ghz with the leak).
Total 2683
CPU 3770
Mem 3008
I/O 3145
2D 1000

After the factory reset, when you logged in to your account, did you log into more than one?
Also, was it by chance downloading things like mail in the background? Try disabling all sync and even putting it in airplane mode and then see.
Also, how much charge on your battery? Remember that stock BIONIC settings also have that delicious night mode settings as well....
