Snapdragon S4 Performance - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So my g/f just got the One X (previous iPhone user), and I was just happen to re-read a review on it from Gizmodo and there was this update to it
UPDATE: After more extensive testing there's something a little weird going on. You'll probably only see this while gaming, but there's a little bit of stuttering that happens. You really notice it in games like Temple Run, where the processor seems to get a little overloaded and it misses a finger-swipe which kills you dead. (I tested it with a Galaxy SII, to make sure it wasn't the game itself, and it didn't have that problem.) There are some other anomalies, too. In Samurai II: Vengeance, when you're in a melee battle with a ton of enemies, sometimes the controls get "stuck" which sends you walking endlessly into a corner until you restart the game. Or sometimes it just misses key strokes.
It's troubling. If we had to hazard a guess as to what's going on, it seems that the new Snapdragon S4 processor may be the culprit. While it doesn't really have this problem with the One S, it has many more pixels to drive on the higher resolution One X and the EVO 4G LTE screens. It seems to strain under the weight of driving those pixels while handling a lot of graphics processing at once. If you don't game of your phone, you'll probably never notice this issue, but the big, beautiful screen just screams to be gamed on, so it's a shame. We're looking into it and will follow up.

Just wanted to know everyone's experience with the Snapdragon processor? I plan to get a Galaxy S3, and this troubles me.

I have noticed a few slowdowns here and there but nothing major and I'm sure it can be remedied in a few software updates.
Its smooth as butter
Once in a blue moon it will stutter for a split second, but that is expected, everything tech does that
You have to keep in mind that this is the first phone to use the S4 processor. There will be huge optimization issues, much like the ones currently going on with Tegra 3.

They have no sweet clue what they're talking about. Turn off "HTC gestures" and multi-touch works as it should.
Absolutely positively most definitely not the processor....lol..sometimes I wonder where these reviewers pull this kind of assumption from..

Thanks guys. I haven't played with it much yet. I did notice some lag when opening the app drawer at times.
Going to give it the full run down soon. G/F wouldn't know what to look for lol

I have played Temple Run like a mad man and have never experienced this issue. Gaming on the HOX is pure bliss.

can't play my geetahr with out a geetahr string!

I think its unfair to downgrade a rating or such just due to a game or two not working at those peaks. My Wildfire back on Alltel [before merging into AT&T] was so poopy it crashed the second day I had it. And this wasn't the wildfire some of you might know, it was... worse.. ANYWAYS, Boohoo, a couple games dont work right. Personally, I've played dozens of my favorite games with no lag or issues. Not EVERY game on the market is going to able to play on every phone. Especially since the phone hasn't been out for more than 6 months. I'd think around that mark dev's would update the games/apps to be fully compatible yeah? Otherwise... Eww I cant this computer game on my Mac, It must suck ;].

Yeah i'm guessing there just needs to be some optimization for the new processor.

I get that stuttering in Asphalt 6 HD
I thought it the phone over heating, but it happens even when cool...
Never happened on previous 3 other android phones...

Bakery Story lags to hell and back... slowly

I have a Vibrant, g2x, ans a Sensation, guess which one lags the most while playing Bakery Story? My new Sensation, FML it is annoying me like no other, meanwhile my sister who is using my Vibrant it smoothly sailing away with no lag... It's almost unplayable, we are talking about a good 3-4 second delay in all button presses and thats IF it actually picks up the button press at all... anyone else have this issue with any game or is it Bakery Story only issue ?
OH yeah if you play bakery Story add me my id is: WeBake****
I was 70+ on the Restaurant, Bakery and Farm Stories on my HD2, running on the Froyo rom thanks to the kind people here on xda. It was smooth and almost flawless.
I just switched to Sensation and my all Stories, including the new addition City Story, lag so bad that I am contemplating to quit.
Is it an issue with Gingerbread? or just the Sensation?
Question
Here is a question to ask though. All of those devices you mentioned were single core, correct? If this is the case then perhaps that game is not optimized for a dual-core device. I have never played it so I couldn't tell you this is true. Just my observations. Another thought is maybe it is having a problem with that qhd resolution. Those are two things I would think could potentially mess with it.
Cheers!

Being a owner of the Motorola Xoom, I can tel you its just that the app needs to be optimized for the Sensation CPU/GPU. You have to remember that not all phones work alike, and with dual core, the way the processors work are different from single core, so you will see a lot of app-updates to accommodate the new dual core phones and tablets. its also a good idea to inform the developers so they can release a fix. Bakery story is not an graphically intense game, and the dual core CPU's in our phones can run this easily once it is optimized correctly
I second the opinion that the game needs to be optimized. I had NFS Shift on my MT4G, which ran flawlessly. When I tried to download it to the Sensation, I got an "Unsupported Device" message.
My g2x ran it fine...

Nvidia has been better due to it being easier for the developers to optimize there games for. Of course Nvidia is going to own every other processor manufacturer when it comes to gaming. They have been doing it for years.
Any word on a fix on it?

The "lag" after ICS comes out

I've read many reviews of people who say that the Atrix 2 is "slightly laggy." I'm sure that after ICS comes out which will enable hardware graphical acceleration, that lag will be pretty much gone. The phone will be much smoother with ICS. What do you guys think?
What lag? o.o My phone hasn't stuttered at all even in games.

ICS performance on the Galaxy Nexus should be an excellent indication of how it will run on the Atrix 2, as its chipset is the same one used in the Galaxy Nexus, except for lower clock speed. GPU performance between the two is expected to be quite close even though the Atrix 2's SGX 540 has an 84 MHZ disadvantage because it doesn't have to render at higher resolution.
I agree with Kori, my phone has 0 lag even when downloading multiple apps and constant texting as well as syncing

I think thats due to a few reasons
1. It came on the coattails of the iP4
2. It got no marketing push and isnt even avail. at all AT&T stores
3. It has just a few upgrades over the OG Atrix
4. It came just before two overhyped devices, the RAZR and Nexus
I think the combination of people not knowing about it, the timing of its release and the release of two heavily marketed devices has paralyzed the market for the A2.....and a locked bootloader doesnt help at all.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
There really isn't much lag except with some ****ty apps that are badly coded/not optimized yet. Really though, the Atrix 2 runs quite well.
Glad to hear that you guys have no lag on your A2s. I'm just repeating what I read. Some have reported it as laggy compared to the GS2.
For the price ($50 on Amazon), this phone is a steal. I'll be getting it next month. Really looking forward to ICS!
No lag here, smooth as silk compared to other Android phones and especially my OG Atrix.
Honestly, I don't know what all the lag statements are about. I guess if I switched screens at a rapid pace continually it might lag once but who uses their phone like that?
I don't see much lag at all...there is an occasional slight stutter, but every android phone does that at some point.
Everyone with a GS2 just wants to talk smack on the Atrix 2, bro. I tried the GS2 and I'm glad I made the decision to go with the Atrix 2.
I think the GS2 is a nice device but I just didnt think it was $150 better than the Atrix 2
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Also i think another advantage vs GS2 is that the omap 4 series cpu are using duel channel memory controller. I think this is one of the reason that A2 doesn't have lag issue.

[Q] Second thoughts

I purchased an unlock atrix 2 to use in my country and i'm having second thoughts. I'm coming from a berry storm so to me its a major upgrade. Reviews are sayin its a low budget phone n cant compete with top phones what are you guys opinion on this. And apart from the 1.2 ghz processor on the Gs2 how does the atrix compare with software features and available widgets.

I honestly wouldn't really agree with the benchmark aspect.
Quadrant:
Atrix 2= 2409
Skyrocket= 3075
Antutu:
Atrix 2= 5177 (unusually high for what Ive pulled before, typically it is around 3500's)
Skyrocket=6477 (beating out the galaxy nexus and only being topped byt the transformer prime quad core)
Both phones were cache cleared, app optimized, maxed stock cpu (atrix 1ghz, skyrocket 1.5, the sky can go to 1.9 but the benchmarks put it into boot loop at that speed) Both are running samung 32gb micros, and screen brightness maxed
One area that the Atrix 2 did excell in was hspa+ data speeds. Same location, the atrix would pull 12+mbps where the Skyrocket would pull around 8-9mbps. Kind of a tradeoff though because when the skyrocket hits LTE Im doing 50+mbps. The atrix is more of a development/ webtop machine as I dont pay for the phone or service (thanks att) and the sky is my daily. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the atrix2 screen as Im not a huge fan of moto screens. Overall I would say it is more mid level than high end. It is sometimes laggy and glitchy but Im sure as soon as the bootloader is unlocked and work really gets done on it, things will turn around.
thanks
So apart from the benchmarks would u say the Atrix 2 can do the same things that the gs2 r nexus can do...imma noob n this will be my 1st android
I believe this phone is right on the level with the other high end phones on the market now. Performance wise it is pretty quick, build quality is near the top, screen is a pleasant surprise.
One thing you should really be aware of when comparing this phone solely on benchmark tests. The Atrix 2 has higher resolution than a lot of phones it is being compared to. This is somewhat of an artificial disadvantage, since this only really hurts the phone's performance on the benchmarks, and not in the real world. Also understand that this phone is constantly compared to phones with overclocked processors, of course those phones will outperform the Atrix 2.
The Atrix, in my opinion is a miss marketed high end device. True, it is not the absolute best phone on the market, but the actual gap between the best phones and the Atrix 2 is very narrow. This phone is every bit as capable as any high end phone on the market, and at half the price.
So no one here would trade for an LG Thrill? I've about had it with the memory bugs on this phone and apps disappearing.

I think you would be perfectly happy with the atrix2. I work for Best Buy Mobile and I have a lot of phones pass through my hands (I personally get a new one every month or two) so I can be kind of biased towards super smart phones. For the price ($49 from bbym) it is an amazing phone. Its quick and capable of most things the sgs2 and nexus can do (sans ics right now). I dont hesitate to recommend it to people at all for the price. If it were 150+ I would probably not sell many because thats going into sgs2 territory and in my eyes the sgs2 line does have better phones, but at 150-200 dollar difference.

I posted my personal benchmark scores because I know that is what a lot of people want to see. Many people like opinions but will really make decisions based on real data. And yes you're completely right that there are some things limiting the atrix2's scores while not impacting real life performance. The atrix 2's release was right around when the sgs2 came out and completely got overshadowed. We didn't sell a single one for two weeks after launch. Only now when the atrix1 is free and the 2 is only 50 more are people really getting interested. I can honestly say though that the atrix2 does not perform as well as my skyrocket but its hard to really take those as comparisons. The faster clocked processor and much better graphics chip give the sgs2 line a more fluid user feel which does impact my opinion a lot. The atrix sometimes gets twitchy. I am excited to see some developement on the ROM from once the bootloader gets unlocked. I would love a stripped stock rom and OC/UV kernel. Or a nice vanilla ICS port. I hav been playing with the gnex for about 5 days now at work and it is really nice. Unfortunately 4.0 market would not allow me to run benchmarks? Idk how the gnex's score is in antutu then
Great reviews for the Atrix 2. Aesthetically, the phone looks good too. But we still can't ignore the fact that apps on the Atrix 2 will randomly delete itself whenever it pleases - possibly the only drawback on this beautiful device.

Most of the problems with the apps have been discussed in details and can be fixed. Make sure you have NO apps installed on the sd card and some class 10 cards dont play well with this phone. Notice I said some, not all. Making sure the card is properly formatted will also save you some headache. Now am I saying you should have to do this, No I'm not, especially with a new phone. But there are working workarounds to address the problems if you take the time to do them.
For the price you WILL not beat this phone and it will hold its own with the higher priced phones. Once we get some custom stuff for it, things will truly be different and in a good way.
I'm probably going to jinx myself for saying this but I haven't had any apps go missing and I have had the phone for 31 days

Beautiful Widgets is 10cents today on the market. It has nice weather and you can select between two different sources.
The only thing that is different about the A2 compared to its high-end competitors is its price.
At the person talking about apps disappearing, the same thing happened to me. They would usually reappear after a restart. I found out that it's because some apps stored on the microSD card try to get accessed before the microSD card is fully mounted, and it messes with all the apps on the microSD. For me, the problem app was a theme for GO SMS. Just go to "Manage Apps" and find the apps on the "external storage", click on one you think might be causing a problem and select "Move to phone."
I have owned other android devices and I was a flash addict, that's how I killed my captivate... That being said, I do look forward to flashable ROMS and other tweaks and mods for the A2. But, I can say that I have never been this satisfied with a stock device as I am with the A2. I got it at Target 2 weeks ago, it was free with a 2 year contract ... I am thoroughly happy with it, I could not ask more of a stock device.

HTC one X - Gaming performance, what's going on?

Hello,
Just got a new HTC one X and I feel that the gaming performance are much worse than expected. On GTA3, it's not that smooth and feels a bit laggy. On Soulcraft THD (a free beta game on tegra zone), it really lags everytime you kill an ennemy (some particles pop at this exact moment). Even Teeter is not smooth! What's going on?
This is really annoying, especially given the specs of the CPU/GPU.
Do you guys have the same problem? Is that a software issue that might get fixed by HTC?
Definitely a software issue.

After 2 weeks of usage, i can say that this initial ROM (1.26.xxx) is beta, nothing in it is optimized, and the list of Bugs is huge. HTC just wanted to be the first to market, and in doing so they decided to sacrifice customer satisfaction
I would expect such a thing from Samsung, not HTC
I believe however that the potential of this phone is much higher than the current, let's wait and see how good the next HTC ROM will be

Every launch is the same.
When the HTC Desire came out, the HTC hero was smoother and faster. Eventually, sofware became better and the true potential of the Desire was realized.
When the HTC Sensation came out, the HTC Desire was better and faster. Eventually, sofware became better and the true potential of the Sensation was realized. (About now, a YEAR later, some of the newest kernels out there make the sensation shine.)
Now the HTC One X is out, and my Sensation is smoother in almost everything and the battery lasts longer also. But if history is any indication of things to come, that won't be for much longer. Remember the One X hasn't even been out for this long.
The One X is loaded with capable hardware. Give it a bit of time, this device will rock.

Reminds me of the first experia device I had with sony erricsson. The X10. Also lots of potential but the software screwed up the phone. Later custom roms fixed that, but I expect HTC to fix all the issues we are having.

I would not recommend that.. did you read in the one x forum the last days? a lot of them are suffering from terrible screen flickering..and for a lot of them the 1.28 update didn't help.. i hope for htc that this is no hardware issue.
Your game issues will definately get fixed in a few days/weeks
Oh right.
I'm getting fed up of network issues as well but in theory the phone has great potential, its just not living up to it at the moment.
Gta plays really well for me; sound lags in cut scenes but its good elsewhere

menu-on-screen is the problem
the reason why e expirience issues with games is because of the menu-on-screen button, which causes the system to detect a screen resolution of 540x888, whereas the one s has a resolution of 540x960. so the games always check the reolution in sytem info and a resoution of 540x888 does actually not exsist...which causes the app to crash or to say that the game is not compatible!!
my theory
