[Q] HTC Vivid poor quadrant? - General Questions and Answers

As I already know Quadrant isn't the best benchmark, but I noticed that the Evo 3D which seems to be about the same spec wise as the Vivid gets better scores and especially in FPS almost double at times, almost as if the Vivid is capped
Is this because Quadrant isn't optimized for the Vivid? I'm guess that the answer but would like to know just for sake of cursorily.
Thanks!

Quadrant isn't optimized for any dual core devices. Its an extremely inaccurate benchmark. Looking at specs, they should be pretty close if using a good benchmark test, unless there's a big difference in the gpu.

Seems like quadrant hasn't been changed in a long while considering the phones on the result list.
I'm pretty sure they share the same GPU, just seems like the phone is getting a bad wrap for that reason.

MT4G vs. Nexus S Benchmarks

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4059/nexus-s-and-android-23-review-gingerbread-for-the-holidays/8
I've always tought that the hummingbird would humiliate the snapdragon with some optimisations. But it even performs worse than a sgs (running AOSP/CM)

You have to put into account that 4G uses MySense and loads of bloated ware where the Nexus S use AOSP pure Google experience. Hell load MT4G with AOSP or CM on it, it'll blow the nexus s away.

That and it's cheaper to boot. $449 vs $529
I think if mytouch 4G would run CM or some vanilla Froyo w/ OC, It blow away Nexus

The MT4G already blows the Nexus S away. The benchmarks are a fairly good indicator of that.
Yeah, make sure you are reading those benchmarks right, the MT4G kills it.
I think the mt4g is faster no need for benchmarks I notice it on everyday use considering I've had the vibrant and the ns is just a rebadged galaxy s.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Heck, I just think it's cool to own a device that performs so well compared to other high end devices. After owning a G1 for over a year, having the MT4G is a treat!
These benchmarks make my mouth water... Now ****ing xmas needs to be here so I can have my mt4g (that or the wife needs to develop a heart, I should pack up her G2 & tell her she can use our old MDA until Xmas)
The bench marks only show how incomprable the two processors are. And how unreliable benchmarks are. Dont trust neocore. The phones are so fast they cap out the built in fps limits of the phones. Interesting how the losing phone in neocore get 10 fps more running quake. Thats almost 25% more. Also interesting that quadrant cpu is right on par but linpack is still low. I have no idea why qualcom chips do so well in linpack. They obviously have a distinct advantage there. Yet hummingbirds some how do as well on froyo roms in quadrant.
I/0 scores vary wildly with galaxy s phones. Rfs always give a very low score. But there have been "lag fixes" that blow the score out of proportion well beyond anything else in quadrant. CM although buggy gets huge scores all over cept for linpack. A CM dev said the low I/O was something samsung did. It may be that the nexus s has the same problem.
Im not putting the mt4g down. Not at all. Just the benchmarks. I think the galaxy phones still have the best gpu. But if I could get a mt4g unlocked or a nexus s it would be a hard decision. ( im on ATT)
Im partial to samsung after doing repairs to my captivate and an evo. I felt that the htc was built like a toy. But as far as user experience hatch wins every time.

So you're saying those guys over at AnandTech one of the most trusted reliable source don't know what they're doing,LOL. Even while they're doing a reviews about Nexus S they were amaze at MT4G. Talk about HTC Phone bieng Like a toy,look at the Vibrant for 500.00 buck it's a joke with that kind of money i expect not to be lagging and GPS works out of the box,and don't tell me there's a fix online it's easy to fix.Like one of my MT4G user said it real well, Nexus S is just a rebadged of the
plastic Vibrant Galaxy S with gingerbread 2.3 LMAO!!!!!!!!!

blah blah blah double post...
I want to see those mt4g benchmarks with gingerbread. I do agree that benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's always nice to come out on top
Yes and they should just be glad they did not have a OC kernel with a trimmed ROM or that nexus S would have been smacked and knocked back to kindergarten.
I have been confused at why the MT4G has not challenged or even been compared to the Nexus S??? All this waiting and hype about the Nexus S and finally it comes out and (IMHO) is a disappointment. Now reading what everyone is *****ing about, No HSPA+, expandable memory, ram and not made by HTC.... Well MT4G has all those!!! Minus the SAMOLED, I think the MT4G is THE better phone. Now with some numbers to look at...Its looking sweeet! Best part is, "The 45nm Snapdragons with Adreno 205 GPUs have proven completely competent performers (and I'm not even finished testing the myTouch 4G yet)"!!!!!! Can someone please put these two in the octagon!!
This sums it all up
I got the MT4G but also want the Nexus S just because I know it will have more developer support than the MT4G , I dont care about benchmarks just user experience, lets see the people reactions when they get it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
After exchanging my original MT4G for one with a "superior" display, this phone is most certainly a force to be reckoned with. Yes, the SAMOLED display is great, but highly overrated. I remember doing a side-by-side comparison of my old Vibrant with a G2, only to find that the G2's display more than held its own next to the Vibrant. Even with its washed out display, my original MT4G outclassed the Vibrant in every aspect - the new one, with it's better display, is not even in the same league.
Since it's been established that the Nexus S is basically an aesthetically revised Galaxy S, it's safe to say that the MT4G vs. Nexus S comparisons will yield the same results as MT4G vs. Vibrant. Say what you want about benchmarks, but numbers don't usually lie (unless, of course, you're Bernie Madoff).
That's my reason for getting the nexus s too. Its the rom support and user experience. I've had this phone since almost the day it came out. Its got every feature you could want, but though it looks and feels expensive, htc has major qc issues. I've yet to see one without a blown out white screen either. If they had blessed the phone with a better display, changed the plastic below the screen a little, and made it with asop, the mt4g would be the best phone ever made.
Battery life is excellent, it's fast, and has all the latest hard ware. Just upsets me that with all the specs this thing has, they give it such a poor display. I mean you look at that every time you pick up the phone, and espresso sense themes expose that even more with all the greys and off blacks.

[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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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.

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.

HTC Sensation is better than SGS2

HTC chip-set of 1.2 dual core and andreno 220 is far more better that SGS2's 1.2 dual core and 2008's Mali-400 chip-set. I used both the handsets and now using HTC Sensation after SGS2.
The main problem with HTC is it's locked boot-loader and it's stock rom which is really not ready to use the full power.. The power is not equally distributed. Benchmark is not everything as sensation has issues with sense 3.0 and better pixels than the SGS2. Below is some link where you can understand the whole technical issues.

The Exysnos processor is better than the Dual Core Snapdragon just like the Hummingbird was better than the single core Snapdragon. Just be happy with your Sensation and stop trying to justify your purchase. Once the Sensation becomes as smooth as the GSII then we can talk bench marks but for right now during every day real world use, the GSII feels faster. Not to mention the GSII brings hardware acceleration to the browser. Something our Qualcom can't do.
By the way...Error 404 on both links.

I prefer the sensation to sgs2 regardless of benchmarks or performence, mostly because of sense and nicer aesthetics
But I do have one concern, if you got to system/lib/egl, all the libs say adreno 200, could that be affecting performance?
HTC Swyped from my Sensation using XDA Premium
Actually the OP is right about the adreno 220 being better than the mali 400. The difference is the way samsung optimized the performance of their GPU with drivers and such. But for what the GPU can do spec wise, adreno 220 is superior. Too bad htc did not do a good job of showcasing that.

Thanks for your reply, I updated those link. Now you will know what you said is not true. I am not justifying anything, True will be true. SGS2 is overclocked to 1.2 by samsung and its all software issues which is, what makes the benchmark result great. Main thing is Other than the GL benchmark, all benchmarking soft is not up to date for the sensation. As its use console-quality 3D graphics and high-end effects such as vertex skinning, full-screen post-processing shader effects, dynamic lighting with full-screen alpha blending, real-time cloth simulation, advanced shader effects like dynamic shadows, god rays, bump mapping.
I trialed one on ATT...and: No its not...(unfortunately)
I think both phones need a cyanogen 2.3.4 rom and then we can see how they perform against each other..sadly for us sensation owners... August couldn't come any quicker lol.

Let me ask you something. If the Adreno is so good then why does HomeRun Battle 3D lag sometimes on my Sensation but never lagged once on my Tegra II powered G2X. I could care less about benchmarks or how Samsung is reaching the high numbers. What matters more to me is real world use. I could also care less if Samsung or HTC optimized there processors better than the other. Bottom line. Both of them should be optimized for best performance upon mass release. HTC always has problems with there drivers and quite frankly, the Adreno 220 could be 10 times better than the Mali or the Tegra II but if it doesn't have the software to back it up then its no good to me or you. By the time we get root or better drivers, Tegra III will be out smoking everything in its path including the Adreno 220.
By the way, the Adreno may be better than the Mali but the Snapdragon is very much inferior to the Exynos which is more powerful when it comes to raw processing power. I wish HTC would just ditch Qualcom all together because TI and Samsung continue to **** all over them.

It will not be August/September for the Sensation. Yes it will be unlocked but that is when the custom rom process begins. It will be weeks to months later before you get any stable releases of everything.
The final product Samsung has provided in the Galaxy S II appears to be significantly faster than what HTC provides in the Sensation. I do not use the individual parts of my phone. I use the final product. So whoever optimized what does not matter to me as much as what I see on the screen and hold in my hand.
I prefer the Sensation right now. That is also what I own. The phone before that was the G2x and I liked that one as well...I preferred it to the Galaxy S 4g and the MyTouch 4g. Before that I had a preference for GS 4g...and it goes on from there. I buy the phones I prefer. It is kinda funny to see people defend the smartphone they bought as though they designed and built it themselves.

Exactly, I buy whatever phone I like and right now I use a Sensation and a G2X. I think the Sensation is better than the G2X but I think the GSII is better than the Sensation and I'm not affraid to admit that just because I own the Sensation. If people think the Sensation is better than the GSII then they think the Sensation is the best Android phone available right now since almost every review I've read labels the GSII the best Android device to date. In fact, 9 out of 10 reviews state the GSII took Android to the next level but I haven't read any review stating the Sensation took it to the next level. Maybe if HTC would have released it with optimized drivers we would see reviews stating such.

My Sensation gets extremely hot when playing Homerun Battle 3D and my G2X gets no where near as hot when playing the same game. In fact, after playing for 30 minutes it gets so hot that sometimes my screen becomes unresponsive to touch but the accelerometer still works. I think its definitely a driver issue but something shouldn't be getting so hot that it renders the phone useless.

I would imagine the heat you're talking about might be the battery not as much as the cpu.
I got my "1900mAh" Anker battery a few days ago and I can confirm, as others have in the Anker thread, that it doesn't get anywhere near as hot as it did with the OEM battery.
The easiest test for me was Angry Birds..... 30-45 min with stock battery, 45c avrg. Very hot to hold, even through my case. This Anker....28c avrg. Barley warm...huge difference.
No matter if the numbers are correct, one thing is for sure....I no longer feel ANY excessive heat even with prolonged heavy use.
If heat is why you'd get rid of your Sensation, spend 10 bones and get a new battery. Cheap and stays cool and lasts way longer
That site is funny.
"These benchmark tests shows that Tegra 2 takes the lead over Exynos in almost every category. Specially, this is especially true for mobile gaming."
Looks like everything is better than Exynos.
But you are wrong, sensation is weak.

Hey people!! This reminds to me, old times with the HTC HD2 ( quetly brillant )
jajajaja yea yea... just quietly brillant... with the optimized drivers!
I have to laugh at all these banchmarks between the two...they aren't exactly valid.
The Sensation has a higher res screen that is has to push...which obviously means it has more work to do....it's not a fair comparison.
And in any case...benchmarks mean nothing to me...I chose to buy the Sensation because it looks so much better than the GS2, it has a better interface in Sense 3, and it's HTC

Quadrant Scores

Question of the day. Why do quadrant scores suck on this device? Gs2 I'm getting above 5300s and this dude has a better processor. It should be killing the Gs2 and I'm only getting 3200s. Uncalled for I say! Maybe someone with better knowledge can explain?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Our processor is not better. The gs2 has the best there is right.now. and our quadrant does not suck ove gotten over 4000 .
---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
Ours is very good and even though its clocked at 1.5 and the gs2 only at 1.2 the exynos is the best on the market period
+1 on that. Exynos is better. The OC'd gs2 is getting over 9000 on some benches like cfbench. But we have LTE so I'll take a slower bench and faster dl/ul speeds
Interesting. I didn't know the chipsets in the two were that much different.

Not to mention quadrent scores mean nothing at all as they can be boosted but make the phone lag. Only real test is real world use. All benchmark scores can be fooled into giving a high score without improving real performance
+1 as i have stated previously. Quadrant scores are like puting an elevator in an outhouse.

I'm a little concerned by that need of yours...
I agree with what was already stated.
While synthetic benchmarks are handy to track relative performance increase/decrease of a device in certain situations, they shouldn't be a deciding factor in anything. They are one source of information that should contribute to an overall decision about device performance. They should be weighted heavily with real-world use and experience.
The Adreno 220 is a better core than the Mali 400, but the Scorpion is a beefed up Cortex A8, so it's not as efficient as the Cortex A9 in the Exynos.
It's debatable as to which is more powerful in real world situations. They're pretty comparable. Skyrocket might have a slight edge in games, vanilla SGS2 has the edge in benchmarks. They're pretty close all around, though.

Quadrant scores are quite arbitrary and not reflective of the real world performance. For example, an SQL hack can get your score up by a few hundred points without a real world performance boost.
By the way, I never managed to get more than mid 3000 with the stock build on my SGS2.

No one mentioned this here?
Since it's not a Question, I installed the latest Quadrant "cause i blamed it on a ROM {RAVEN}"
Fine, this time it wasn't his fault...
Tested it on SGS4G
SGS 2
Evo4G
LG G2x
ALL show the same, Graphics suuukkkk
And it takes longer than the USPS to deliver a lost package just to get the CPU.
You're welcome

Which latest quadrant (not to be a douche, just wondering which one is not working well)? Is it just the benchmark test, or is your ROM sucking as well? Remember, quadrant scores don't mean a lot, it's the end user experience that counts. The only reason we posts quad scores is to give peeps a reference of how silky smooth something is. If you are not having the same experiences as others on a ROM, then you should consider Gremlins Removal.
I get 3008 with the new one so..hmm
Sent From My Rockin' Galaxy S 4G
Quadrant 2.0 give lower scores I get 2000
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
And even at 2000 that is well above the original score of 900.

I think if I interpreted his post correctly he is complaining about the look and how long it takes not the actual test.
I could be wrong and probably am but that is how I understood him.
CSOS I noticed it but figured it to be a "feature" of the free version.
Yes eollie, that is what I meant. I know i write differently.
Thanks.
even though the scores are different with the new quad if you notice the phone is still higher than the galaxy nexus which has ICS 4.0

Weird thing is the scores are WAY different like Im getting 2100 now vs. 2990 before.
Tha antutu score is still the dame but quad is just stupid now.
What you guys don't understand is that all the scoring systems are different. Say I want to make part of your score based off of your SD card read speed, and then multiply that by 10. If you have a class 10 card you might get 16 megs / s read speed, multiply that by 10 and we get a score of 160. I release version 2 of my benchmark and decide that now the sd card read speed will be multiplied by .5, so instead of giving you 160 more points for your sd read speed you only get 8 points.
All the benchmarks are artificial numbers taking measurements that the benchmark author decided. They almost never reflect real usage performance of your phones. You're better off measuring every day tasks like copying your music collection to your phone, phone bootup time, how much time it takes to open your browser, the fps you get in your favorite games, etc. Things that you ACTUALLY do on your phones. Based on this you can have your own measurements to see how your phone performs with different roms.
