low quadrant score - Captivate General

Hi all, first time posting and sorry if this has been asked before. I am running cm7 nightly and have recently tried the quadrant benchmark and am getting some pretty low scores. I know these builds are not stable but even so the scores are low. getting mid 1600s and I have seen other around 2200. is this just because of the cm7 build? thanks.

Install this kernel, overclock to 12-1300mhz and try again.

wow sweet! bumped to 1200 and ran a 2000 on quadrant. what's the most the captivate CPU can handle?

Can't really say much for Quadrant, as I haven't run it in forever, but I run 1.5ghz stable 24/7 on cm7 w/ glitch. Runs buttery smooth through pretty much any app.
I've kinda been out of the loop in regards to the Captivate, but afaik max clock is 1.6.
I heard something about shao doing a 1.8 kernel, but again, idk how true it is or anything, and I'm lax in time, so I can't really research lol.

yea i see the option to run at 1.6 just didnt know if it was safe to do so. I bet 1.5 runs smooth. Thanks.

Quadrant is nothing of a benchmark, the hummingbird kernel isn't even read correctly. On the CM7 forum I've mentioned this before. Basing everything off a quadrant score is complete in the redundant theory, try using a real benchmark, suggestion.

As stated above. Don't put to much into scores. Judge by real world feel. I can show you a Rom that scores almost 3000 on quadrant but runs like crap. Trust your judgement. As for overclocking, it is device dependent. My cap couldn't handle anything over 1.3.
And yes all this has been stated before. A search would have saved you some time.

[Q] Quadrant scores?

i just wanted to know what kind of scores you guys get with your d2g's, i havent gotten my d2g yet, should be coming in a day or two, but the highest score i heard someone get with the stock rom was 1800, which seems amazing to me.
I think 1800 is unrealisic
My milestone 2 with the same processor overclocked at 1,2Ghz gets 1590 in quadrant standard
I get 1590-1620 pretty regularly.
Ya I get about 1500 or so I think 1583 was the highest for me and this is on a rooted but stock CPU 1.2 ghz
I keep getting 1550 - 1630. The highest I got was 1680 odd..
Seems kinda low. Im on a plain D2 and just ran Quadrant with 1.2 Ghz and got 1675+ every single time
Hehe, with stagefright enabled I get 2500 on quadrant. Normally though I get about 1700:

Rusty,
are you using a cooked ROM? Or the stock one?
PS: I am a newbie, so "stagefright enabled" just flew over my head. Whats that? I know its a new media platform in Froyo.. But is it disabled by default?
yeah, its disabled by default, its a bit buggy, well actually theres only one bug that i know of, it doesnt let you play videos you recorded with your own camera, but since i dont record videos with my phone, i felt like turning it on. it certainly helps when playing other videos as it is much better than the stock decoder.
Whoa... I ran it and I got 1580.. I ran it again immediately.. it went up to 1670.. After that I ran it consequetively 8 times and every time it was above 1670.. five times it was 1700+ highest being 1799.. Awesome..
1585 than I cleaned cache and ran 1628. Fission Rom.
don't need to run it again, the phone is smooth and fast,
enough said
couple more posts then I and post pictures.......
1250 at 800 Mhz on Fission 2.4.3 which is the speed I normally run at.
I got 1650 at 1.2 Ghz on Fission 2.4.3 right after the first one.

I ran it 3 times in a row after a reboot.
1 - 1878
2 - 1939
3 - 1998
Hmmm.

Quadrant score going down

I was running scores of over 2k each run.. running perfect storm 1.3v and bamf 4.3b kernel. I updated to 4.42. Delete the cache in setup CPU.. and auto set it to abt 1400+ now my phone is constantly running in he 1700 quadrant... Someone please help..
edit* sometimes when i run quadrant the cpu section won't even calculate and jumps directly to the second test... omg

Why are you so concerned with what Quadrant says? Your last paragraph sounds as though you spend hours running Quadrant over and over lol. Just enjoy the phone!
this is my first android, so i'm seeing how every rom and every kernel can effect the the speed.. but now i'm running sub scores, and i feel like maybe this kernel isn't as good.. i tried flashing back to 4.3b.. but no luck, i feel like there is something wrong with the phone
When you are flashing are you doing a factory wipe, cache wipe and dalvik wipe. That may help. As for the 1700 that is what I am getting on a cleaned stock rooted rom. My phone is fast. Once you get into overclocking I feel it effects the life on the phone, but that is just my opinion.

Thus has gotten misinterpreted on the web. Quadrant scores are meaningless between devices. One phone could get low scores but be optimized to run smooth and fast. While some other device could get high scores but be optimized poorly and run bad.
HOWEVER, scores do have meaning compared within the same phone model. A thunderbolt vs thunderbolt has meaning. It foes show the performance of how well the phone can do tasks like dcriol a list, crunch thru some JavaScript or HTML, or load a game.
I see everyone say benchmark test scores are meaningless, and that original statement meant "meaningless between different models", but not comparing within the same model.
A nexus one on gingerbread only gets 1000 on quadrant, and its slower and choppy scrolling lists. But the nexus one on froyo gets 1650 easily, and froyo was way smoother scrolling lists etc. The lower score shows its reduced performance ability to do various tasks, and it shows in actual use.

very true but some kernels have various tweaks that can inflate quadrant scores...also on the droid x you could blow up quadrant by disabling stage fright. these phones are so fast it's hard to tell the difference. i've tested just about every kernel and overclocked all the way to 2.06 and the phone goes from really fast... to really really fast... to overheating and unstable lol
i use linpack and cpu benchmark to compare kernels and overclock/governor settings...pretty much gave up on quadrant
Quadrant means nothing... If you can run this piss out of your phone and not make it stall... Its fast enough.

That should be good. I agree that something about that kernel might be suspect.
If you're bored, try the kernel that I'm running. Option to overclock to 1.4 or 1.9 depending on which you select, Good battery life, and stable. 1.4 gets 23XX on quad and the 1.9 gets people 2700-3000. No cheating too.

Benchmarks - Quadrant, Linpack, & Neocore

Here are my results for all three benchmarks right after I killed my Tasks
Im running KC1 and using tegrak Overclock to 1.3
Post what yah got.
btw, I noticed alot of other folks posting up multi-colored quandrant results. Is there another app that I should be using?

Quadrant Advanced provides the breakdown for each individual area (multi-colored).
http://slideme.org/application/quadrant-advanced
The thing about quadrant however, is it's not optimized or suited for the processor in our phones (Hummingbird). It was designed for snapdragon processors.
Additionally, Quadrant is sub par in my opinion on benchmark test apps (even though it's well known) because it does operations that aren't typical. If you get advanced you'll see that it does like 60% all IO operations, however thats a really strange test because it would be like you running a full on database on your phone.
So the scenarios and tests it runs are not representative of the scenarios you are going to use your phone to perform.
I like SmartBench better because it gives you an index for Gaming and Productivity.
Samsung Galaxy S 4G's will slightly outperform the snapdragon/adreno combo that you see in the MT4G etc. Very slight advantage. In regard to productivity it does well too.
Thanks for the info Joe, Im new to all of this and ran accross benchmarks so I tried it. It was something else to do while I await the almighty CWM. haha

No worries it was one of those things where I was bummed that my wife's MT4G was triple the score on my SGS4G so I investigated haha.
Yep same here . It's real close from what I can tell.

[q] nexus s quadrant score 4,400!!!

hi guys!
ive been a week trying different roms and using different kernel OC and I could not get more than 3.400 to 1.4 ghz on "quadrant advance program. " install the ROM last night "infin1ty 1.0.0 RC | AOSP | Netarchy 1.3.0.6" ( 1.4 ghz) with the curious fact that descrption says: • IO Quadrant tweak with this rom achievements to 4.400 in quadrant. attached image to see I'm not lying. if anyone knows I need to do to make this happen with other roms, please let me know. I would like to know the reason for this. does anyone happen? excuse my English!
What the "partition hack" does is creating a separate partition in phone memory to trick quadrant to think that it is running the read/write test on SD card while it is actually reading/writing to phone memory thus results in unusually high I/O score.
This hack does not improve the speed of the phone or anything, it's just for showing off to your friends
If you really want to do it, just search for "quadrant hack" and I'm sure you'll find it. (on my phone now so it's not very convenient to find the link for you)
I'm running infin1ty too. But I've overclocked it to 1.3ghz. My score is 3790.
If you want your best score re-run Quadrant several times in a row without exiting the app. Last night on a fresh load of CM7 nightly without overclocking or hacking I was able to hit over 2600.
Cm7 with matrix kernel
My best score was 4536 with quadrant.
I has a 12,000,0000 quadrant on my mogul back in the day.

sorry to burst bubbles. quadrant really means nothing. it just compares stock phones vs other stock phones at there current state. not am

My best was a 4595

[Q] Overclocking doesn't seem to work...?

I have used Weapon G2x R1 and RG2X MIUI, both with the latest Faux overclocking kernel. I have used both SetCPU and CPU Master. Both apps gain super user access and seem to be functioning properly... however whenever I run the benchmark apps, the results don't seem to be any different when I have the CPU set at 1ghz or 1.5ghz.... it's the same results across both OC apps and ROMs.
The phone doesn't seem to get warm as most people report when overclocking, nor is there any stability issues.
Underclocking does seem to work.
I know quadrant scores don't mean much, but I would certainly expect there to be a difference between the scores at 1ghz and 1.5ghz. The score ranges between 2200 and 3000, but never over 3000.
There isn't any other apps installed on the phone other than what comes with the ROMs.
Am I missing something or is it an inability for my specific CPU to be overclocked?
Thanks in advance.
Try Antutu Benchmark instead. It'll show the frequency at the bottom while testing.

I will give it a try, thanks. I will report results after.
Thanks, the_king13, it would seem the benchmark app I was using wasn't incredibly detailed in the results.
The Antutu Benchmark app shows some pretty big performance differences when I change between the frequencies.
Thanks!
Glad to be of help. Happy overclocking!
