[q] htc incredible s benchmark and lag

Hi,
I just got the HTC INCREDIBLE S after selling my desire DHD
The phone is awesome, I find that there is some LAG, so I decided to run a quadrant benchmark test and it only came up with a score of 1560 compared to my DHD which was 2000+ every time.
The specs seem to be exactly the same except for the new processor
I believe it may be a slower one, though it is the latest one.
Any ideas people why this phone is slower and lagging??

Video shows quadrant test.

enable usb debugging...battery will last longer too.

see specs on wikipedia, DHD is most powerfull, processor is better

They use identical SOC (MSM8255) and have the same RAM so I don't knwo what you are talking about. In fact, Wikipedia doesn't even have a page about the Incredible S.

oops, my bad

Do you think sense UI could be the issue?.I notice that a lot of devices that natively run sense run a lot slower than those that dont... Imagine what a cyanogen Rom will do to the incredible s, well be saying HTC desire hd Who? Jk . ... I can't wait for root lol

Just turned on USB debugging why would that make the battery last longer?

I have to totally disagree, I had a hero for nearly two years, rooted it very early on and started putting custom roms on it... when I came to sell it, I put it back to stock and it was a smooth as butter. CM always had some problems, lockups, occasional lag... stock rom just worked. I;m not saying there aren't improvements to be made, but I am purely sticking to modded stock roms from here on out

Disappointment

XDA's vote for the best smartphone of 2011 is here! Sadly, the Incredible S wasn't in the list, nor any other single-core phones which came out this year.
Is any one else disappointed in this?
Of course, dual-core phones have more raw power under the hood, but does it really make them that much better? Physical build quality is an important aspect to take into consideration as well. Furthermore, as far as the single-core phones go, I personally believe that the Incredible S deserves some merit as one of (if not the) best.

My phone is better than any damn single core phone out there....hell I would even dare to say that this is the best single core phone HTC ever built(android of course )

Don't you mean it's better than any dual core phones?

I'm happy with the phone I have, but to be honest I wouldn't rate it as phone of the year. There have been too many newer, faster phones since which have all its features and more.

Incredible S is a very good phone, much underrated

Underrated is the right word. It's a shame because of the timing of its release it got drowned by the media with HTC's own Sensation...

Why do you care about these polls. Just be happy with your phone and that's it. IncS is a great phone!

and sometimes misleading.
have you ever considered how many people actually vote and what percentage of people are voting for a phone they already have while other phone owners dont even vote.
i never rely on polls.

eyah.. really disappointment/

I am happy with my inc s but i'd swap it instantly for a sensation xe
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

Incredible S is the best single core phone HTC has ever made. I wouldn't expect the Incredible S to beat out a dual core phone for phone of the year. If there was a poll for the best single core phone the winner will either be the Incredible S or Nexus S. Devs on Xda love the Nexus S.

I know most of you coming from the Vivid will hate me for saying this but i will go to the HTC M7 as my next phone. I got to love sense, if you dont, no need to be staying with HTC, but i need my fix of sense

Well... I'm really happy with my Vivid. GLAD I DIDN'T GO TO THE ONE X! And as much as I'd love to stay with HTC (still have a G1) their newest phones are a disappointment. The One series was a huge disappointment. So many hardware defects it really made me lose faith in them. I think my next is going to be a an S4 or I might buy a used SII, switch back and forth and ride it out until I'm eligible for an upgrade and see what's out then.

Gonna see what's available after mwc in February...if nothing interests me ill probably wait for the sgs4...but I've heard rumors that it might not have android but Samsung's own firmware instead...if that's the case...idk lol
Only time will tell...as of now nothing is really catching my eye :/ one x+ looks nice...bit you can't even get diff yet...AMD nexus 4 just doesn't have enough storage for me...I need at least 32gb so I can have music and a couple roms handy (about a 1-2gb worth of Roms)

I love the new sony devices. I had an xperia x10 before this...i will be looking towards something in the xperia line when the vivid dies

Nexus 4... Oh wait already have one!
This phone rocks, if you don't need the extra storage I'd recommend it to everyone... Of course there is the issue that it's really not for sale right now... Ugh. Supposedly February they are coming back in stock, we'll see I guess.
Anyway the device is epic. Pure android, no bloatware, screen is gorgeous, speed is ridiculously fast, put it this way you may not think you have lag on your vivid, until you play with this thing. It's literally iphone smooth. No lte? No problem! Make sure to copy your apn from your vivid and you'll get fast stable hspa+ that you'll never notice a difference from lte on stock. Camera is almost on the same level, maybe a tad bit weaker, but no shutter lag and the 4.2 camera app is very very nice. Build quality is solid, right on par with the vivid, feels sturdy and looks great.
The only issue is 4.2 needs patching. Battery life out of the box is actually worse than the vivid. This is due to the location service being borked on 4.2. Go into maps, Uncheck "report from this device" under location settings and battery life is much better than the vivid, however you don't get the most out of google now with it shut off. It won't show places of interest near you with the option shut off but until google patches it its the best only option.
So to summarize, once google patches 4.2 it'll be perfect. If you can deal with the wait and don't need the storage, I fully recommend it's awesome!

I guess I should mention this about the nexus 4. The screen size is a tad too large. The vivids screen size is perfect honestly, large enough to watch videos, small enough to use one handed. The nexus 4 is a tad too large for a good one handed experience. And the worst part? It's 4.7 inch screen will be considered small by the end of the year.
HTCs new droid dna design is basically going to be the reference design for HTCs next flagships and at 5 inches it's too big, I've played with one too so I can attest to that. The galaxy s4 is also rumored to be 5 inches, and the note 3 is rumored to be a whopping 6.3 inches!
When does it stop? Ergonomics are just going to hell here! I remember when htc released the Evo, my Samsung eternity fit in its entirety inside it's screen and I thought there's no way I'd want a phone that big. I was wrong there, 4.3 to 4.5 is actually the best sizes available hands down. But now screen sizes have just gone haywire! Before you know it people are going to be carrying 22 inch monitors with cell radios!
What's really frustrating is they still make smaller screen sizes but they all blow. Typically feature low resolution screens, dated hardware, and extremely outdated versions of android such as froyo or gingerbread with no plans whatsoever for android updates. Samsung releases about 50 of these Galaxy Rubbish phones a year!

Easy for me.. Sprint doesn't offer the N4. NO use even looking at it...

If i would like to get the best for my money (and i´am ok with max 16gb storage and no lte): N4
If i would like to get the best: htc one

Nexus 4? You're trying to tell me that is hard for you to pick between the super sexy, super sleek, top of the line, aluminum body, specs to die for from the HTC one and the boring design, fragile glass back, boring UI, made by LG nexus 4? Yea, no contest.

The fact you are even posting on xda shows you have more interest in cell phone tech than the average joe. Therefore HTC One. There is no contest between this and N4.

Posting this in the One section is obviously going to get you a biased answer...
M.

I have the nexus 4, development is ok.
But the htc one has WAY more features. Boom sound, better camera.

Oh man... another useless thread started !!!

I would go for the HTC One
There are several reasons why I would get the One over the Nexus 4. The main reason is, that I've always been a fan of HTC phones and build quality. I've also not been a fan of LG. I currently have a One XL and it is awesome. The N4 is better for developers but its going to be more and more behind as far as specs go.
I think for other people the main deciding factor should be interface. With my One X I can choose Sense roms and AOSP roms. With the N4 you're pretty much stuck with AOSP roms.

A friendly advice is post this thread on the General section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256
Obviously you're posting on the HTC One forum. Why would an aspiring owner of HTC One let his dream device down over any other device?
*Except for the trolls here who got no life and just come in the HTC One section just to say how they dislike the device*

This phone does seem amazing but again it's going to be crippled by delays in updates so that's why I picked the nexus. The 2gb ram, 720p screen and quad core is more than enough, for me at least

I think everyone knows that nothing beats nexus devices when updates are to be compared. But there are some people like myself who rather prefer usability and unique features than updates. I myself am satisfied already with ICS. The sole reason why I decided to get this and ditch my phone is that my phone doesn't officially support ICS and unless I see very significant changes I won't upgrade.

I have a nexus 4 and really want the HTC One. Only reason I'd miss the nexus is the updates.

One smashes n4. Aside from that, as stated before, with HTC device you can run sense ROMs or AOSP ROMs. More choice. Also, Google makes a point to make sure nexus devices are not top-spec, officially. They do this cuz it's a development device. What good is it to develop on a device that only 10% android users have the specs to support? Also, I checked out n4 cuz all reviews said it felt Luke a million bucks in your hand. I thought, it felt like junk, personally.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

M7 no contest. I'd take a Note II, GS3, Lumia 920, or HTC HOX+ before I went back to the N4.
Monetarily the N4 is great for the no-contract price. In no other way would I pick the N4 as my phone.

Who cares about prompt updates anymore anyways. Are prompt updates that important anymore? This is xda. We can have any update or Rom.

i think it all comes down to price.....
if you got double the cost of the nexus 4 then get the htc one of course....

M7 no question.

All comes down to price 349 usd vs 650 usd. P.s if you post this in n4 section everyone will say n4, if you post this in HTC one forum everyone will say HTC one. If you have enough for the HTC one go for it i've tested the nexus 4 it has washed out screen, bad camera , and very fragile BUT.... for the price the nexus 4 is a very good phone

Should I jump off the Samsung ship?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice...
I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S4, and I'm seriously considering selling it and getting the HTC One 32GB.
What are your thoughts, from the people that use the HTC daily, should I change or stick with what I have?
Any advice would be great

Deffinatly....allthough i came here from S3, but i must say i compared it to s4 and it IS much faster and sense is so much more stylish than touchwiz

It depends.
Why do you want to leave Samsung?
HTC One is excellent in my opinion.
Especially if you don't root Sense is miles better than Touchwiz.
The phone feels, looks and behaves as premium.
And the software is excellent.
I'm not sure about the battery, maybe the S4 is better (not sure).
About the camera there are situations that S4 gets better pics and situations that One is better and it comes to your needs. I'm talking about camera performance here.
Because regarding camera "lag", Zoes, video highlights etc, the One has the advantage.

I wouldn't drop your S4 now for the One. Better to wait now and see what the next latest and greatest from HTC and Samsng will have to offer in the next few months. Would be different if the One had just come out.
