So i have been running side by side tests against an at&t skyrocket.
On wifi off he same wifi router the skyrocket gets speeds up to 20k where the note gets a little over 5k. I have tried on a number of routers and get the same results.
On non LTE networks the skyrocket gets on average DOUBLE the speed.
Quadrant shows my note at 3900 and the SR at 2600. Which is in line with what I have seen on the web. Unconnected to the above, but I wanted to see if I have a dud note. I don't.
Anyone know why? Does the skyrocket have a newer or different radio chip?
Anyway, I am prepared to bet that the at&t note will be faster than the international one we currently have.

The Note doesn't have LTE (the korean Note has). It has HSDPA (21 Mbps). Why the Wifi is slower than on your Skyrocket is another question. I have no idea.
What was the point of your response? To find out you have no idea?

How are testing speeds?
Next time you do a side by side do a real world test:...simultaneously download graphic heavy sites. The difference is negligible.

I don't have an LTE phone to compare to, but i can tell you i have no problem exceeding 20k on wifi with the note.
So it could be my radio. What rom and radio build do u have
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Again... there's low correlation between those synthetic app scores and real world speed performances of the phones.
I've done side by side tests of Note and Skyrocket. Speedtests bear out exactly what your saying. But... Ive Then immediately downloaded say desktop gizmodo.com site simultaneously and Note actually downloads faster half the time.

Same generation chip. New LTE chips aren't due until 2012. However, the implementation of the chip itself does depend going from manufacturer to manufacturer, as well as the processor they're working with. I get fine speeds on my Bionic.

Good to know I'm not the only one that has noticed this. I stopped by Verizon earlier to take a look at their demo Bionic. The thing consistently got between 3-5 Mbps down more than the Thunderbolt running the latest leaked Gingerbread radio, and roughly 1 Mbps upload faster. Like I said, this was consistent test after test after test. I must have done 20 tests in the store with my Thunderbolt next to the Bionic, starting the tests at the exact same moment. There is definitely something different in the Bionic's favor.
My money is on the processor making the difference. The dual core is probably a better balance with the 4g.

Speedtest.net app does not give accurate speeds IMO. Try http://www.mobilespeedtest.com , the 5MB or 7MB test gives more realistic numbers.

Not talking about the upload bug necessarily.
The standard deviation between several measurements of two phones tested side by side at the same time and with the same radios make me suspicious of speedtest.com as well.

For the record, my side by side tests used the Speakeasy.net test and the Xtreme Labs Speed Test app. I don't use the Speedtest app. The servers they let run the speed tests are absolutely terrible.
Give people warnings as in something not to do because of personal experience. Like an example would be "Don't touch hot things" and people will know not to do it because 1 other person has done it and it wasn't pleasant. Well in short words. Learn from other's errors.

Did anyone hear about this? Apparently the iPhone 5 beat the nexus 7 and gs3 in benchmarks
These were the scores
IPhone : 1601
Nexus 7 : 1591
Samsung galaxy s3 : 1560
I don't put much emphasis on benchmarks because I know the scores really don't tell u anything compared to actually using the phone for performance. However, I do think the only reason why iPhone won here is because the OS doesn't do very much multitasking so it may be a bit faster in that regard
Any thoughts?

Benchmarks aren't meant to be compared between different OS's. The iPhone has a lower screen resolution, an OS that works completely different than Android and FSM knows what else Apple did with it's internals.

You're not listening. Results between devices with different screen resolutions aren't comparable. The iPhone has 294400 less pixels in it's screen, so it uses less processing power to display images for the test. Ergo the tests aren't comparable.
As you said yourself in the OP, benchmarks don't mean anything at all, to be honest.
The only true way of noticing the difference between devices is to own the devices and using them. No benchmark ever can create a score based on pure usability.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
The S3 score is wrong. S3 scored 1751 (i posted the link in my previous post).

yeah apparently that benchmark score is with jellybean already running on the S3. Says so in the link that i provided as well.
"063_XOBX" look man, I really don't care about the benchmark scores; I just want to know what people think of this ludicrous article. I was reading the comments and its absurd. Some people really do care about these numbers. IMO, all this article and apple have in common is the number. the price for the iPhone 5 lol
Yeah, but then if you OC that iPhone 5, install a custom iOS build, tweaks, etc.... oh, ****. That's Android. My bad.
Ooooh right so comparing benchmarks of two devices using different os platforms. This is sick they should just take iPhone off benchmarking ,it's os uses less resources and it still has a small screen, soo WTF are they saying

I am a Sprint customer. Their service sucks sometimes but the price keeps me with them. If the competition would offer comparable plans at even only slightly above Sprint's rates I would make the switch.

Well I thought the same thing, but then i realized that I would rather pay the outrageous price and have ridiculously fast 4G LTE EVERYWHERE!!... unfortunately I am still with sprint
Sprint is alright in my books where I live (after I got the airave the only place left without strong service in my city is covered), but I want 4G everywhere I go, and faster and more 3G, and better phones (not their fault). If softbank keeps most of the prices/plans/contracts the same, and just boosts mobile data speeds and coverage I cant wait for Sprint to be bought out!
Yeah I agree, I hope soft bank improves the network and I think they should transform it into a GSM Network...id love that

Hi, I really fancy getting this phone due to its form factor, but all the reviews seem to disagree about its performance. Antutu scores (around 13500) suggest it should be much faster than snapdragon devices but some reviews say it's average....Confused!
Anyone give me some real life impressions of how fast it is? (my other options are the big boys, htc one x etc... Not sure about size)
Also do you think Cm 10.1 will arrive eventually after x86 issues are solved?
Thanks for any replies

Not sure about CM 10.1 but dang, this phone is fast! Been using it for months now and it litteraly flies. And that is without the upgrade to JB even.
Testers from this forum found it as fast the Samsung Galaxy S3 so don't worry about the speed.
I agree. I'm not rooted and have ICS and I find this phone faster than any other I've had (recently Desire and Desire S)
Yes, using stock launcher can be a bit laggy sometimes but I use Holo Launcher and it's totally lag free!

Hello ALL did you discover lags, slowdown between screens after update ? JB on my mobile (xt890) working so slow. I don't know what is the problem. I didn't do factory reset after update. What you thinking, that could be a problem? I started using difference launcher (NOVA) and seem my problem gone in 80% because I really like Motorola's launcher with amazing circles widget.
Lucky you having JB!
The first thing I'll do after updating to JB is to factory reset the phone as I'm sure that this resets everything and should stop any problems left over from the previous operating system.
Sent from my Motorola Razr I using Tapatalk 2
My RAZR i is running stock JB and I get a split second of lag when going back to the home screen from an app. I think that the launcher doesn't keep in memory like the ones you get from play store. So it has to reopen the launcher when you go home. Not a big deal. As far as speed, I get over 4100 in quadrant. Beats out the Asus transformer and matches the one x (according to quadrant) so yeah. Fast fast. Love this phone.

Thank you for the great replies, it sounds like it performs way above its mid range billing. I get the feeling that a lot of the online reviews try to compare it with the likes of the gs3, when it's real competition like the HTC one s seems at least a little slower, has no memory expansion and it's way more expensive at the minute.
There are some great deals on it at the moment, so I'll go for it. Just have to hope it ships on jelly bean. I'm sure I'll be around the forum a bit once I get it, everyone seems really helpful. Thanks
