Lower Benchmarks and performance in apps? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when my Moto G had 4.4.4 it ran flawlessly and smooth! My Benchmark scores on quadrant were always between 8400-8700. Now after updating to 5.0.2 the device is still smooth but some games and apps lag. To test it I decided to use the Quadrant Standard app to check my scores and got around 5300-5500.. which is odd. Is this an update problem? Would Factory restoring help? Just never really had issues with this phone until this update. Thanks in advanced!

[Q] What's up with the performance of froyo on Galaxy S?

Hi Ppl,
I got the official froyo release for Galaxy S India yesterday. Good Good... But wait, is it worth it? I don't know..
Before I upgraded to froyo I had applied the lag fix on 2.1 and the quadrant score showed somewhere at 1700-1800 which is good. Quadrant score on stock showed around 800-900.
Quadrant score on 2.2 stock now shows 925-950. This really pissed me off. I ran another test which is linpack and I got 13 Mflops. I do not understand what's wrong with the froyo update. I read somewhere that 2.2 is not compatible with humming bird processor. Per my understanding 2.2 upgrade should boost the CPU to the next level and the performance should be really good than 2.1.
I was comparing dell streak with galaxy s. I know if I should or not but I just wanted to look at the scores on both. Dell says Streak has a 1 GHz processor and so do Galaxy S. But the linpack score on streak showed 30 Mflops which is way better than Galaxy S which is at 13 Mflops. I really do not understand what the problem here is.
Is there no difference b/w 2.1 and 2.2 on Galaxy S? If yes, 2.2 is a joke I would say.
I am concerned because I still found issues with the froyo update. Its still laggy. I didnt notice much difference b/w 2.1 and 2.2 really
Can anyone help me out with this please?
Thanks,
Ravi
I wouldn't worry too much about quadrant scores, but if your phone is lagging then you probably need to reapply a lag fix. Did you update via Kies? I updated mine a while ago using odin (never had much joy with Kies) and my phone seemed pretty good without a lag fix, I did do a factory reset though before installing. Mines now running spikey's oc rom and oclf and is scoring around 2300 on quadrant, but more importantly the phone is ultra responsive with zero lag
Do a factory reset and reapply a lagfix, you'll get 1600ish quadrant scores again.

Thanks for the reply, guys. I had read somewhere that the score would be 1600-1800 on stock froyo? Is that not right? Do I still need to apply a lag fix?
And yes. I updated using Kies. I did a factory reset of the phone before and after I update froyo.
Which lag fix do u suggest? Voodoo or OCLF? I guess OCLF uses EXT2 and Voodoo uses EXT4 which is a bit faster than the former right?
who cares about the score, it is all BS
what matter most, is how smooth it runs for you, and when you switch from app to app, and have stuff multitasking in the background

That FACT should be sticky on this forum.
ok.. I am facing a new problem now. I do not know if this is the right thread or not.
After the froyo official update I noticed I could download apps from the market except for the installation process. Some apps get stuck after a complete download and never gets installed
IS there a fix for this?

400+ points difference from 2.1 to 2.2; Quadrant

Hi all.
I was running 2.1 Eclair just a few hours ago and was getting constant scores of 2.2K+ on Quadrant with the OCLF. I'm now running a rooted 2.2 Froyo with the same OCLF and scoring 1846. I can barely see a loss of performance... Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks in advance.
Because Quadrant is a SYNTHETIC BENCHMARK! It only tests a single specific workload
I was also under the impression that OCLF didn't work on Froyo unless you first ran the Z4 app and then the OCLF. I also agree though that Quadrant isn't that useful. The best test is whether you're happy with the speed of the phone. I'd be happy with it if it responds to my touch without a pause of a second or more.
Quadrant means nothing really, anyone can get 1k in there and outperform a 2.6k score.

My Optimus G would score over 17,500 on 4.1.2, unlocked, non-rooted. I've read somewhere that Google hasn't calibrated the N4 right. The screen, for example, is the same IPS+ (4.7 inches, 768 x 1280) that's used on the Optimus G, yet the Optimus G produces a better output owing to a better calibration. I've used the Optimus G, so I can say for certain it's got a better display than the N4. But, benchmarks don't mean much. The OS is very smooth, I've experienced no lag whatsoever, and that's all that matters to me.
How is this score special? my (stock, rooted) N4 scores the same on current 4.2.2
The Optimus G does indeed have a nicer screen yet a far more bloated UI (Ram would be running at 1gb with no apps running compared to about 500mb with tons running on my N4)
Owned both, like parts of both!

Still, it ran pretty smoothly, aside from the occasional, minor hiccup. But I do agree with you on RAM usage. I've got the same applications installed on my N4, and I've got a good 1.5 gigs free.

Exactly my best score on rooted stock 4.2.2 was over 17900.
I got 24351 (antutu) with Franco Kernel , Performance Governor , Overclocked to 1.7 Ghz , Increased the thermal throttle threshold to 90 C for the duration of the test , closed all apps.
With a decent GPU overclock , some more CPU overclock , couple of i/o tweaks from me , i'm pretty sure i would get something close to 27000-28000.
Which is actually more than Galaxy S4's scores.
It overheats though , you wouldn't wanna use it like that all the time.

Benchmark results (ANTUTU)

Hi everyone!
As we still don't have many things to do in order to speed up things in our little P8's I thought it would be interesting to compare our results to see what difference it makes to do some small changes.
Not that this is important but I thought it would be fun to see each others results.
I'm the first one
Before some root apps - 32000/33000
After some root apps - 35000/36000
Best of all - 36318!!!
Much better than I expected when I bought this phone.
Now show me what you got
Antutu test
Mine is 34500
Rooted with some stock apps disabled.
35320 mine, root and some system apps disabled
Enviado desde mi ALE-L21 mediante Tapatalk
33,222 not rooted and no tweaks; didn't even reboot the phone first.
32K with stock, no roots, i am wonder if I relock the bootloader and will result unlocked if bring to services for riparation, an answer could help me to make roms, i am already working on device tree, but i need the vendors.
Good, now lets see that amazing benchmark in real life, on stupid 5.0.1 with memory leak, Google Search App lags like hell, phone sometimes freezes and stutters when hitting 760mb free RAM.....you can do heck all with your useless benchmarks, my Nexus 4 had lower benchmark but was much faster
mine 28656.... why? without root and no app or tweak installed
ALE-L21 C185B130 (rooted - bootloader locked)
Before root - not tested
After root - 28413
About 32k, Android 6.0 beta, no root or tweak
Andrei did u test on antutu 5.x ? Cause on 6.0.1 im gettin lower score due to 3d marooned test not supported. Im using 6.0 beta too. No root or tweak.
Antutu 6.0. How did you get 5.x? Mali 450 gpu does not support Marooned,indeed

Another issue. Performance.

Hello!
I just ran an antutu benchmark on my note and the score is far too low for this phone!!
Any ideas on what's going on?
I'm on stock Oreo BTW.

If your phone was warm when you ran the test, that will effect the results.
Not used Antutu for a while but there should be an imformation tab, there you can see the battery temperature amongst other details. Try running it again when the battery is around 26-28c.
Hopefully then it will be a normal result.
Just ran Antutu and got 203k on stock Oreo.
These benchmarks are a complete waste of time. Honestly.

That actually maybe true considering Samsung uses DVFS to fake benchmarks
Also it was warm. One more thing. The benchmark was run at QHD. Does it make a difference.
Benchmarks do not reflect how the device behaves in real life, the really important thing is how your device performs in everyday circumstances or in intense scenarios
