Buying thunderbolt tomorrow. Need advice.

Hey, I love htc phones but I've been reading everywhere and am nor quite sure if thos will stack up to the bionic.
I jear rumors the thunderbolt will be overcloclable to 1.8 ghz. Is this true? Will that be close if not better than dual core? And does the thundeebolt have good 3d graphic support?
If I am posting this, I'm probably pooping.

Thunderbolt may end up being overclocked, probably not to 1.8GHz, yes it has good 3D support, as it has the second generation snapdragon, and if you want to get technical no it is not as good as dual core.

little bit off topic , but i see u are from revere ma? i was born there and grew up in lynn

Lol, yeah overclock that little processor to 2x it's standard capacity, see what that does to your battery life and the lifetime of the internals.
There's a reason OEM's don't overclock everything.

Depending on how underclocked the processor is to begin with it may not hurt. Overclocked my d1 to 1.25 more than double with zero issues, mininal effect on battery and is still running perfectly fine a year and a half later.

Just like how there are people out there who smoke two packs a day until they're 85, there's always exceptions. Doesn't make smoking any healthier.

Its a little different. Not sure if you know how it actually works but as long as your kernel os undervolted and overclocked, and with proper safety precautions such as set cpu temperature parameters, it is perfectly safe and you will not fry anything.

*is from Revere MA!* lol
Anyone know how N64oid runs on this? Better than the Droid X? I've been once again addicted to playing Super Mario 64 lol

mytouch 4g overclocked to 1.8

Theres no reason to OC a phone like this, unless you're just trying to get a high quadrant score.. I had a MT4G and I never needed to OC it. It ran lightning quick with CM7...

I'm not sure about some games like Golden Eye. I'll test it over the weekend, but if I can play Super Mario 64 without any lag on an Evo, which has only a first gen snapdragon, I'm sure it will run fine on TB

[Q] Samsung Galaxy 3 quadrant benchmarks

Hello everybody. I have a Samsung Galaxy I5800 and the quadrant result was 339. Is that good?

That sounds really low actually. If you use the quadrant standard app it will show you your benchmark in relation to other phones to give you an idea of where you're at.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

yes, you are right. Actually I did a little research my self and I found that this number is pretty much low even for my phone itself (without comparing to better phones at all)

That is very low to give you an idea my phones benchmark is at 1847

Synthetic benchmarks, especially one as crap and easily manipulated as Quadrant, will tell you nothing about how the phone feels in real life.
It's like how the manufacturers want to put dual core cpus in their phones so that they can add more and more bloatware. The device will score high in a benchmark but will be significantly slower than a single core running a vanilla ROM.

This is not possible. Apparently you don't have a galaxy 3.

Yes, I know and I totally agree with you. This is not only in cellphones. In computer's world things are much more worse. But I only use this app to have an overall idea of my phone potential, since I have installed the latest version of 2.2, deleted lots of stuff I didn't need and installed only a few absolutely necessary aftermarket applications, and yet my phone is relatively slow according to what I see over the net.

In another tread of xda I saw some numbers of what is considered to be a good result for galaxy 3 and it's over 500. Almost 550. So I'm now definitely sure that's there is something wrong with my phone since it only scores 330.
So, I'd like to know if there is any way to make it a bit better?

No I don't have a SG3 I Have Captivate and even before I tweeked this phone I still scored upper 900. This phone is only rooted with stock froyo and it is fast as hell so I decided to stay away from third party roms for now.

Trust me, it's not third party ROMs that make a phone slow. Mine scored that low from the very first moment I flashed the os. Before installing anything but quadrant.

So, any other ideas?

Anyone ???

Quadrant isn't reliable. You shouldn't worry about it. If you are satisfied with your phone then that's that.
In reference to third-party roms, they are usually designed to be much faster than stock actually. You might want to consider finding one for your phone to give it a boost.

Actually I'm not satisfied with my phone at all. That's why I started this thread. It's slow, it has glitches, apps crash occasionally and generally it's unpredictable. For example, double twist, the app I used instead of the built in player, starts playing by itself quite often, while it not even on running apps list...

I have a captivate running firefly 3.0. I was getting 2100 with eclair. 1800 with froyo. Now in the 1300 range. Firefly is definitely garter even though the scores don't show it. I have zero lag now. I dint think the benchmark scores are that reliable.

LG G2x Overclocked to 1.5 Ghz

I saw this video and wanted to show everyone. I do not have information about this or the user. I simply saw the video that is all. For people looking for more info sorry but you will have to do you own research as I don't have it. Best thing is to ask him on Youtube I guess.
As for me I really hope we can get a stable 1.2 Overclock to match the Sensation and SGSII at least to numbers wise. (Yes I know their customs processors may run better.) We is the video....

Check the Dev forum. Theres at least two kernels out now that can do 1.4-1.5 Ghz pretty stable.

So badass that we're waiting for a 1.7 oc like the Viewsonic Gtab because we know it won't fry

Thats my video yo... Pretty good benchmarks huh...

mmhmm i use faux's kernal, 1.5ghz, gotten as high as 4900 quadrant scores, phone doesnt get much warmer than my old oc'd touch pro, really stable, phone ran fine all day

g2x already outperforms the 1.7 viewsonic oc with the 1.5

Your nenamark is a bit low, @ 1.5 should be getting 70+ fps

Is the Hummingbird processor, just an OC'ed 1ghz?

I can't seem to find a model number of the processor used in the Infuse. Is it the same Hummingbird that is in the Nexus S (S5PC110), just OC'ed to 1.2gh?
If so, does that mean that we are tapped out at 1.2?

Yes, same processor, just OCed. I'm sure it could overclock a little more up to at least 1.4 like the original Galaxy S could, maybe 1.6 if you're lucky.

thanks... not that I am complaining about the speed... just hoping for a higher baseline to work with

yes. it seems to be identical. some users may be topped, but they may have saved better tested units for faster clocked phones. there may be a greater percentage of users that can see above 1300mhz than on the sgs. if you are concerned about clockspeeds then get a snapdragon powered phone. qualcom has there own dies and some of them see speeds as high as 1.8ghz.
but im sure if you see this chip at 1.4ghz+ benchmark you wont see a need for more

meh... this seems more than fast enough for me (right now)... not sure I need to mess with it, just for benchmark bragging rights.
oh, who am I kidding, of course, I will OC it when a kernel gets released

I just wanted to post this for information only.
Even though the chip is the same, since is OC'd from the factory it means a higher quality chip. Thus it should still be able to clock higher than the other 1Ghz chips.

It may be a similar chip, but much smoother than when I overclocked galaxy. Benchmarks are better than the inspire I overclocked 1.5g

Didn't feel any smoother than an overclocked Captivate running a 2.2.1 firmware to me and didn't bench any higher either. If it is smoother, it's probably because of tweaked software and different memory and/or nand components.
The chip itself has the same model number.

Probably true, but I've seen several reports of stock Infuses overheating, which doesn't inspire confidence in its overclocking abilities.

[Q] senseless rom for sensation how to get 3300 in quardrent

it says we can get 3300 but i only get about 2100 what else do i need to do

Which version are you running? 1.1 or 1.2?
Because if your running 1.1 this comes with the Unity V5 kernel and you should be able to reach this easier.
If your running 1.2 this comes with the stock kernel and you'll need to download Unity V5 to help get those scores.
You can download the Unity V5 kernel from http://www.multiupload.com/EP1YPXAICW

Yup. Just to give context, my Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) got something abysmal like ~900 on the app, but the phone sure as hell wasn't a slouch.

Flipside of that was with the right kernel, galaxy s phones could score up to 3100 but they were horrible for any use other than obtaining high scores.
