Hello everyone.
Despite the fast native CPU speed of the HD2, there is still some lagging under many circumstances that could be aided with a bump in CPU speed, for which I thing the Snapdragon Processor has lots of headroom for. The HD2 rarely gets warm even under heavy loads.
Equally, I've noticed that there is some sort of a clear thermal throttling process going on because when doing large operations (like searching for files or moving large items around), the progress bar gets progressively slower and so does the operation of the phone. After a few seconds its faster again.
I'd like to submit a feature request for a simple app that hopefully control/prevent thermal throttling to kick-in and that can also overclock/underclock (for battery saving situations) the Snapdragon Processor on the HD2.
Not sure how easy it is or not, but this is the single wish list. There a few generic CPU optimization applications but they really don't work for the HD2 specifically. The HD2 would benefit tremendously of a little bit extra Processor speed.
Thanks to all
Man it was one thing when we all had 400mhz processors and we were looking to see if we could get a little more out of our phones but 1024mhz and still asking for more? I mean I don't disagree with you. I've noticed the same thing but lets not get greedy here.

Yes, but the load of today's applications is exponentially higher than the speed at which CPUs have been scaling. My 3 year old Palm Treo 680 is blazing fast compared to my HD2 at everything it does, because both the OS and the apps are minimal footprints, yet the Treo's CPU is a turtle. That is why it is still my main phone. Its instant in all it does, feel great to use. The Snapdragon CPU is to be upped to 1300MHz or 1500MHz this year and multi-core designs are all on the way. The HD2 with all animations and bells and whistles on can certainly use more speed and by the end of this year, this phone will be completely prehistoric at all levels.
My request stands and we could all benifit from it
Ill be honest i am still deciding whether to get the samsung galaxy S2 or the htc.
I have tested both devices and like them both.
I like the build quality, the screen resolution and the more mature nature of the interface of the htc, but i like the saturation of colours of the samsung, the better battery life and the fact it consistenly ourshines the htc in all benchmarks ( ok not linpack)..
I currently have the hero with cm 7 but from the days of 1.5 the custom roms have always been considerably quicker than stock ui.
Touchwiz is such a terrible interface and my feeling tells me its less intrusive than sense ui. So the question:
Despite the fact hardware is similar ( ok htc has less ram) are the benchmark figures due to the fact the sense ui is more intensive?
Will a custom rom make a huge improvement on benchmark result?
I must admit that although for daily use i honestly would not notice the lack of speed, it would always play in the back of my mind were i to choose the htc.
Thanks for any clarification

Due to the currently locked bootloader, and that no one has loaded custom roms or really developed for the S4G yet the answer is not fully known yet or not proven.
My guess is that the Sense UI has quite a bit to do with low benchmarks, but that the Quarter hd resolution (35% more pixels) also has a lot effect on benchmark scores. I still think these together will only improve the benchmarks to some degree. After the roms chefs get started building ASOP for the S4G and the kernel chefs get creative with the ext4 kernels then we may start seeing more comparable benchmarks.
Disclamer Benchmarks only tell part of the story, pick the phone you like to best and you will be happier
Edit: I am getting quadrant scores of 4500-5080 with my G2X @ 1.5 GHZ, but I still would rather have the HTC Sensation, eventually with ASOP Vanilla Android!!!
I agree its a grey area at present cause it has not been tested.
But i see you have the same feeling.. Impressive results with the lg..
I guess i will need to go with my gut feeling on this one..

I am thinking buy sensation or sgs2, and sensation got terrible benchmarks compare with sgs2. Also sensation's web browser running like 15 fps while sgs2 running even smoother than iPhone( I am iPhone user now, and speed so much important for me ). This power difference really important for me cause I'm thinking use my next phone at least 3 years. So, I'm waiting unlocked sensation's bootloader. Because I want to see pure performance down on the hood.
NO I highly doubt its Sense.
Previous Benchmarks and Comparisons between Sense on older phones and Touch Wiz on Older Galaxy S will reveal that it can NOT be sense.
Sense will run better Stock then Touch Wiz Stock simply because HTCs stock Rom will be better then Samsungs Stock Rom.
Sense 3.0 on the Desire HD runs almost similar to older sense versions so one would assume that hardware which is two times as powerful would run it better (despite the pixel increase).
This said... Humming Bird vs Orion: Orion has a better CPU and better Better GPU... However.... The Jump from Humming birds CPU to Orions CPU is a larger incrimental jump then from humming birds GPU to Mali.
That Said... Mali is still superior to Andreno 220, Orion is still superior to Snapdragon (time will tell what an eqalization in OC will do tho (ie. OC sensation to 1.3 vs SGS2 1.2 ghz to compensate for increased pixels.)).
TL DR; HTC Sense runs better then Touch Wiz. So NO, it ISNT HTC Sense its Snapdragon.
Personally, I think it's HTC's ****ty drivers holding it back. This is always the case when it comes to performance.
Those scores will not make any difference when you use them.
SGS2's battery isn't any better. From SGS2's owner reports it only last a day.

Benchmarks in Android really don't mean anything.
I ran quadrant on the sensation running adw and only scored 1800
u will need the ext4 the sensation doesnt have that when a rom and a kernal suports that then u can see them benchmark numbers go up. and benchmarks do tell alot about the phone if u get 2000 and up your phone will run really smooth with no lag at all i have a vibrant and i get 2500 and its really fast all the time and thats because of ext4

I've noticed the Sensation doesn't drain at all (or VERY little) when the phone is idle. My MyTouch 4G had a big battery drain while it was idle and this isn't the first time I've heard that about the SGS2. I've been impressed with how the Sensation manages power when it's idle.
The Sensation certainly feels more than fast enough. I just had T-Mobile replace my G2x with the Sensation and it feels as fast in general. In normal use I am not experiencing the difference that the slower benchmark scoring would indicate. I didn't even realize just what a difference the battery life on the Sensation would be. If it is a slower phone I would be more than happy to trade the G2x's speed for the Sensation's battery life!
I know that Sense requires much of the phone's resources, and certainly has a performance impact, but the added features and improved ease of use make up for that. However, maybe HTC should consider offering a way to turn it off for those who prefer stock Android.
The benchmarks mean nothing. The reason why the sensation are low is because quadrant does not account for the fact it has to render 30% more pixels. If it were in lower resolution I'm sure it would outshine the sgs2.
I still havent got a decent answer to the Quadrant question - if the sensation is so much slower than the SGS2, why does it complete the quadrant test first?
Given the very basic Linpack test is quicker on the sensation (but only just), I would guess the raw CPU power is about the same as the SGSII and that there is some issue with Quadrant itself (for starters, it was never written with dual cores in mind).
hello there
its because the snapdragon uses only one core to process the benchmark and the other core is idle. i heard before from one technisian that the snapdragon processor has something called A symetrical something, nvm the name i forgot it but what he told me is that one core will do the benchmark while the other core does something else like kepping all the other functions of the rom working.
this is the only logical solution i can get to u guys, hope it helped.
and pls pray for me, i've been trying to get the sensation for almost a week and till now its out of stock or didn't reach yet

actually, adreno 220 is superior to mali 400. Search for it in this forum
But that still makes no sense (pardon the pun). If the sensation is only using 1 core and the SGS2 using 2, then surely the SGS2 would finish first?
Anyway, I guess the point is that even if the SGS2 is truly quicker (according to Quadrant at least), the fact it is quicker in actual use (because it finishes the test first, despite having to process 30% more pixels in the GFX tests, etc, etc), just shows the Quadrant is pretty much nonsense (so to speak!).

actually from all the vidz i've seen in quadrant between the sensation speeds up in the non graphical tests than the sgs2. maybe the snapdragon and the adreno far superior than the mali 400 and samsungs processor but the quadrant was not written to test symetric cores, something like that.
and if u want to compare both roms and phones then use the same screen resolutions and in my opinion the sensation will kick the sgs2's ass

Nope, the resolution isnt the finally factor, ( Tegra 2 is powerfull than adreno220 in benchmarks, but Atrix with qHD resolution scores like the sensation, so Adreno220 isnt more powerfull ) just watch CF-Bench, Vellamo bench and other bench, SGSII still superior, in CPU and GPU.
And that % more resolution, will take about 10FPS, max 15 FPS so if at 800x480 Adreno220 stills not more powerfull.
i have a sensation, but for now SGSII is more powerfull.
With optimization maybe, but on default definetly NOT.
Excuse my bad english.

Adreno 220 is much better than Ad 205..But sometimes even my dhd is MUCH faster than Sensation..I believe it is the optimization's difference..With the optimization we can have ad 220's best performance..I believe at that time ad 220 will be better than optimized SG2

True, 6 months from now it will be quad core phones, and really, do you care if it takes you 1.275ms longer to type in a phone number on one phone over another?
Seriously guys, get a frikin life, you buy the phone you prefer, everyone's preference is different.... and that's that.
Think of it like this.. A girl will go out with the guy she prefers. Highly unlikely that she will get you to flop it out and make a decision on the millimeter difference here and there.
Moreover, she won't be arguing with other girls on a forum about it either.

For gaming purposes I suppose. 30% of all gaming takes place via smartphones so it's a ripe market for developers. Quadcore devices would pretty much put devices on par with console systems.
People would buy a quad core phone (such as I) the same reason why some people get sports car. Are sports car absolutely needed for everyday driving? Most of the time, I would highly doubt it, but it sure is nice as hell to have, no?

Thats not the correct question. lol. you didn't get it.
question is, why would people buy a sports car when in the case he only knows how to drive a bike.
Well, surely, quadcores are great. and mentioned above, games needs it. looking at games today, most of them are not that resource consuming at all. just needs a decent graphic emulator. not processor. you definitely don't understand what a processor does. it only process the loading of a certain app. surely it does process during the game but you can measure the speed clearly during app loading. what does a game that loads up real fast but in the short run, it hangs up like hell? mind you guys, most of the games usually are just 10-25megabytes (most that i've seen) any single core processor can process that fast. should we say, its like 200mb of a game. single cores can process that. but when you say gaming, you should think about graphics first.
From what I have been reading... it will not only be quad core... but also we'll have speeds up to 2.5GHz. That's faster than my laptop
Too bad it loses in pretty much every other benchmark.

I don't think most beanchmarks are utilizing these dual core CPU's properly. That goes for all of them. Not just the Sensations. I wouldn't trust any of these benches with dual core CPU's.

Smartbench is weak stuff. Any 3D scene that is too weak will lower the score of GS2. For example it could do 300fps for Neocore benchmark app, but it has a 60fps limit so the app only reports 59fps for GS2, while another phone scores 80fps and yet GS2 has lower score. You just have to bench GS2 on strong benchmark apps like Nenamark2 and GLBenchmark2.
Understanding the current generation SoC and benchmark:
SoC stands for System on a Chip. But most of us care only about the CPU and GPU on it.
Snapdragon (all 3 iterations) used the same Scorpion CPU core, at different clockspeed. The one on the Sensation has two cores, both can run up to 1.2Ghz, so if a benchmark is single threaded and very CPU heavy, the latest Snapdragon can only be 20% faster than the first generation 1Ghz Snapdragon.
Qualcomm uses a custom design for the Scorpion. Roughly speaking, the performance of the Scorpion lies somewhere between Cortex A8 and A9. In general, SoC with dual core Cortex A9's like Exynos, Tegra 2, OMAP4 will be faster in CPU heavy apps and benchmark. Yet, the Scorpion is exceptionally good at FPU heavy task, so... if FPU matter for that app/benchmark, Scorpion could pull over.
GPU wise, this depends on resolution. Higher resolution means more pixel to generate and lower benchmark score, OTHER THINGS EQUAL. The GPU on the dual-core Snapdragon is as powerful as those on Exynos and OMAP4, with one winning in some benchmark and another winning in another. Due to different resolutions on different handsets, it's hard to tell, but they are among the same class. The Tegra 2, however, has a weaker GPU than the bunch mentioned above. This may come at a surprise to everyone consider Nvidia is a graphic card company and the chip is often being promoted as "most powerful". The truth is, the Tegra 2 was supposed to be released in mid 2010 but the market wasn't ready for dual-core phones back then. So the Tegra 2 got delayed for a year, and the design of Tegra 2 was set early. But that's also why Nvidia is almost ready to launch Kal-El/Tegra 3 whatever the next thing is, because the design of Tegra 2 was done long time ago.
So if a benchmark is graphically intensive, and doesn't depending too much on CPU, Snapdragon will be faster than Tegra 2, while Exynos will be the fastest (especially since there is no qHD Exynos device out there yet). On FPU heavy CPU bench, like Linpack, Snapdragon perform exceptionally well due to its CPU design. But with benchmarks that test a wider variety of CPU function, Cortex A9 equipped SoC will beat Snapdragon. And while Tegra 2 has a weaker GPU, it may perform better in some games..... because of Nvidia's "the way it meant to be played" program. Basically it's Nvidia way to fund developers to optimize the code for Nvidia's chips, and market their games. It is no uncommon to see games that are funded by Nvidia's TWIMTBP program run faster on Nvidia's card than on AMD's card.
But what does all the above mean? IT DOESN'T F***ING MATTER AT ALL. All the current dual-core SoCs are fast enough for everything you want to do on your phone. They are equally (not) future proof, and when the future comes that your current phone is too slow, the other current gen phones will be slow too. And honestly, these ARM based SoCs are evolving so fast that none of these SoCs is really future proof. Just pick the phone that feels right or you. IGNORE those stupid benchmark numbers, and pick the phone that physically appeal to you, and pick the phone that is less buggy, or has the best monitor (for you). And if you really care about benchmark numbers, get the GSII. It has the fastest ARM-based CPU right now, one of the fastest mobile GPUs, and a relatively lower resolution screen so that it dominates all benchmarks. It also has enough plastic to be a true successor to the GS I as the most plasticky Android phone, if that matters.
So everybody says that the exynos processor is the best in the market as far as the mobile platform goes. I do agree. All the benchmarks prove it plus the Mali 400 mp GPU is supposed to be a beast. But i have questions. Is it fair to compare it to the qualcomm S3 chip? People say that most of the time the second core is in idle and isn't even used. how do you guys think the qualcomm will perform if both cores run at the same frequency at the same time? Just wanna know. Thanks guys.
well if u root it i think u can set it to run on both mines is rooted at 1.5 ghz i got about 3100 or so on quadrant standard
we're smokin' sgs2 benchmarks when we overclock compared to their stock clocks. I would have to assume if they overclocked to about 2ghz they'd then wipe the floor with us lol. That being said, I have zero lag with my MiUI or CM7 setups. They're both overclocked too with custom kernels, but still. I can watch hd movies which is ridiculous for a phone if you ask me. I don't know how much faster we need phones to get honestly. I suppose that depends on how much more eye candy the OS's get...
The A9 will always be 20% faster than a Scorpion. At the same clock speed, it's no contest. The Mali-400 MP4 also outclasses the Adreno 220 in most aspects.
I have to say im pretty happy with the speed on my sensation.. but i am wonderinh how come you guys want to overclock so bad as at this moment i run all games with no problem. And watch all videos with ease.
And i underclocked my cpu to rougly 1000 mhz.
Anyhow would like to hear your thoughts on this.

This is correct.
You can overclock the Sensation all you want to reach or beat the stock SGS2, but don't forget the latter can be overclocked as well.
There is no real difference the user can feel. The difference is to low. SGS2 feel´s faster because of the software. If you use CM7 on the Sensation there is a big difference!
SGS2 feels like **** in your ahnd its big and thick it feels not good in the Hand it feels like plastic. And the software is as easy as it can be it looks awful.
Sensation feels like a High Quality Phone and the Software looks and feels awesome! Thats why i always will choose HTC.
In a Desktop PC you can prefer AMD above Intel or Intel above AMD but in a Phone there are other things that rule! The Sensation is way more better to use.
SGS starting an App for almost everything
Sensation all in one wonder!
All is to say:
Compare
Build Quality
and
Software
The CPU has nothing to say if there is such a low difference! Who say the SGS is better he only mean the Cores! But never the User Experience!!
Look at Sense 3.5 and TouchWIZ the SGS2 is jsut UGLY!
^ And a SGS2 user may disagree with all your points. You are also rationalizing a lot.
Are really stupid. Between the governor differences, ram differences, thermal limit tweaks and whatever other little tweaks per phone/soc, what is the difference between Samsung or x OEM modding their phone to run full throttle and the consumer putting the phone in performance governor and running it full throttle? The benchmarks between phones with similar soc's have less merit than guaging against phones with different SOC's and checking performance against different generation SOC's. I think it is best that OEM' tweak their phones to run full throttle on benchmarks as it leaves less question about what is better/best. The benchmarks aren't all that scientific anyways with all the variables anyways. It was funny at first when people were crying about it but now it's just frustrating and another stupid first world problem for all the peeps with little weiners.
Now I do have a problem with tweaks that aren't available as a preset like running a cpu or GPU above frequency that the soc isn't rated for. That itself is deceiving. But running benchmarks similar to running a performance governor I have no problem with. Some of these big review sites need to get together and come up with a standard that leaves little question if the OEM is running the benchmarks above spec. Just smdh. Simple solution.
To me Samsung just makes the phone do what the so called benchmark app is supposed to do anyway...make the phone run full throttle. There is no difference than setting your gov to performance and running the test.
