When I O/C my TB,....

From 1.2GHz to 1.4, I get no increase in Quadrant scores, but my Linpack goes up accordingly. Have I hit the brick wall with my O/C? Diminishing returns at 1.4, and leave it at 1.2?

The o/c scores have been proven to be innacuratr and improperly weighted. Don't go by them.
Do you notice any real world improvement? If not, just leave it at 1.2, if so screw the numbers and put it at 1.4.
My tbolt has been stable at 1.8. My quadrant score sky rockets, as for real world applications, barely noticeable difference between 1.2. I've been happy with mine staying at 1.2

How come some phones get high quadrant scores?

Hey
I overclocked my Galaxy S and I did some tests in quadrant to see if my clock gave me lower performance.. Anyways I got 2950 as my best score @ 1.5 GHz but I see some HD2's getting 4400 in socre @ 1.5 GHz. I thougt my Galaxy S would get a better score then a HD2. Is it becouse the HD2 running a slimmer rom with less background processes or are they just lying?

I believe quadrant scores are heavily varying and dependent on the device, and for the most part, do very little to reflect "real" performance.
I don't have a straight answer, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your scores are still magnitude's higher than my Hero, my absolute highest (with unsafe tweaks to the clock and kernel) was about roughly 500

hey guzy....
sorry for the dumb question but...
can u tell ne what overclocking is......??? i'm new to android platform.....

Overclocking is just ramping up the processor in your CPU to higher frequencies for faster performance. There are limits, you can't go too high because you risk damage and overheating, and going too low can cause severe slowdowns and instability.
BUt finding a sweet spot for the minimum and maximum processor speed can result in a much faster phone when the screen is on and a way better battery life with the screen off.

nice.... n thanx.... how did it works.... is there any soft stuff(app) available for it or somethin else....????

Ah...Good old days!
Anyways,there are many many ways to cheat quadrant.Running the app from a ramdisk,patching SQlite,running a rom from SD(I think) all boost the scores.That is,however,because Quadrant relies heavily on I/O,which gives unreal scores.Remove I/O benchmarking from the test and you have a helluva accurate benchmark.Pretty good too.
But on the SGS,let me make my guess.Are you running Cognition rom?If yes,are you using interactive governor?Again,if yes,switch to performance governor and yay,4000+ points in Quadrant!

Unfortunately, it requires a custom kernel, which in turn requires a custom recovery (and in some cases, a custom ROM) to achieve.

ohhh crap!!!! thats the reason i want a forum or some dev to create interest in my device..... hey can u tell me somethin j shud do....????
w8 or shud sell my cellphone to buy somethin like optimus??

Im using CM7 with Glitch kernel. And I used "smartass" when I got the score but now I get like 2470 in score now even with performance. Plugged in the charger and now I got 2888 in score so I guess the charger helps a lot in quadrant to..

Cannot agree more. It sure is fun showing around your quadrant score but a quadrant score never reflects true real world performance. Maybe, Neocore would be a better benchmark but then again non of these benchmarks would show how fast apps could load or how smooth you switch between apps.
I use an LG GT540 Optimus. I was able to reach 64.3fps on neocore and 1250 on quadrant after overclocking to some 800MHz with performance controller.
Quadrant also doesn't reflect the core memory/cpu usage. ie Sense UI eats more resources than vanilla. So, same phone running vanilla and sense will have different scores.
I believe Samsung uses TouchWiz. Perhaps, you could score better with a vanilla rom or cyanogenmod.
Last but not the least, Quadrant scores could be faked just as easy as you could fake version numbers in About Phone.

Benchmarks

Okay, here's the deal... When I run Quadrant Standard vs AnTuTu Benchmark my scores are always higher on the latter, usually about a 10% increase. Now since the update for AnTuTu that has changed to an increase of about 30%.
Now I know that some have expressed that the scores mean nothing, I on the other hand have noticed that as my scores have risen so has the performance of my device.
So, my question is can this be explained?

1.4ghz overclock rfs black ice

SetCPU

I know that if you OC/UV incorrectly, it can cause stability issues. But I was wondering does it cause any damage to the phones hardware like battery, etc? And like how can you tell when SETCPU is causing problems?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Well if you OC to high numbers your just stressing the cpu more.Knowing when you have issues is simple getting random reboots,phone getting too hot etcc.
It differs for every phone but undervolting -25 for each voltages works well.
Personally I really don't see the point overclocking to high levels like 1.4 ghz etc,Is up to individual I guess.

Yeah I have been wondering what's the point of OC to 1.4? Does it make that big of a difference in the 4g speed? And cpu speed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Honestly, there really is no point other than for benchmarks. I, like mt3g, actually underclock the phone to something like 750-760mhz; it runs beautifully smooth.
Other than that, if you game a lot and want to maximize FPS, then overclocking would do that for you.
Doesn't have anything to do with 4g speed afaik. That's entirely reception.

Yeah 4g is about reception and tmobile simply.
I mean I had single core devices like MT4g ,SGS 4g for the most part on a day to day basis transitions to transitions theres not much diffirence in terms of speed. Now for FPS and a few other games you need that dual core.Point is there"s no need to OC a dual core phone!

I have had mine OC'd to 1.1 ghz with some undervolts. It is very stable , 10-12 hr battery with medium to heavy use , and ofcourse fast. Took a while to find the best settings.

When I have SetCPU set to 1015 megahertz, that's the same as stock voltage, isn't it?

What does CPU speed have to do with voltage?

Changes you might see are battery life but not that much unless you so how mess with voltage. Like other have said you know it effecting stability when its overheating, shutting down randomly, exiting program randomly.

[Q] Quandrant Standard Test score problems.

Alright, before I OCed my phone, and before Chainfire, or AntonX's kernel, I took the test. I think I remember my score being around 2400. If I'm not mistaken, the lower the score the better? Or is it the higher, the better?
Anyways, I'm now OCed at 1.3, running VB Final, Anton's kernel.. and my score is only around 1800. The way the chart shows, the higher the number, the better. How can I get better scores? What is an ideal score for performance?

Also, I've notice a sizeable drop in the FPS during the test, from what it used to get to. The test breaks down as such:
Total: 1808
CPU 1366
Mem 1739
I/O 3720
2D 309
3D 1904
I wish I could remember the details of the last test, for comparison.

Run the test four times in a row. Then let us know what the numbers are. And higher is better

Running tests now, but wanted to go ahead and mention that for some reason today, my phone has been unlocking into the camera.

Ok, Score:
Total: 1845
CPU: 1389
Mem: 1796
I/O: 3955
2D: 175
3D: 1910
If it helps, some additional information:
After flashing my ROM, my phone would reboot once a day. Always while I was asleep. It wasn't really a bother, but after researching the forum a while, I found a fix: Go into CWM, Fix permission, wipe partition cache, wipe Dalvik chache. This worked. This was before OCing
Like previously stated, I'm on VB Final, with boostershot. I'm using AntonX's 1.1rc2 kernel. I have Chainfire 3D, with all three plugins installed. I'm OCed with SetCPU @ Max 1300 / Min 200
Quick Note, fixed phone unlocking into cam. Stupid me

Alright, I've been seeing some crazy high scores, like 2800 and 3400. Are my current ones where they should be? I'm using the app Quadrant Standard.
Are there any tweaks or anything, that could go with my ROM to get my score up? I have Booster Shot already for VB.

How does your phone feel with your day to day usage? Is it lagging? The reason I ask is because benchmark test are not always accurate, hence why your scores fluctuate so much... If you search benchmarking a Android device you'll understand what I mean.
So you can have really high quadrant scores but your phone can be laggy when you open apps, play games, surf the web, take pictures or anything else you may do with your phone.
Good luck

Yes, I've read the debates and facts in threads regarding the tests. I'm aiming to get slightly better performance. I know people can play intesive games on these devices with literally NO LAGGING, or stuttering. Like GTA 3, or Let's Golf 3. I'm trying to get there. So far, I'm WAY closer than when I started out as just plain rooted. It's playable now, but still stutters and lags more than it should.

what's your governor, i/o scheduler and scaling?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

My governer is Smartassv2.
I don't know what you mean by i/o, but on the governer settings it says:
io is busy 1
powersave bias 0
ignore nice load 0
up threshold 45
sampling rate 32500
There's no scaling option, you just set min and max, which i have at 200/1300

My governer says ondemand, even though i have it set to smartassv2. It said smartassv2 before i rebooted earlier.

I got it set back to smartass v2

When I was running VB Final with booster I would run a min of 2400. Using ondemand as govener I also use app called sd card speed increase. This is pretty consistent with all roms I run.

All sorts of things can can be managed with a little know how. Here's one from Erikmm's MIUI OC'd to 1.5 just for fun.
