What's your thoughts. Looks kinda not good. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So all the benchmark charts I see people posting up have numbers that blow Mine away. I've briefly read about them but don't really understand what makes one better than the other. So can anyone, someone give me the trade secrets on how to improve this??? Thanks in advance.

Are you on AOSP? It looks like it from your status bar.
Basically Samsung "cheats" benchmarks on touchwiz ROMs. So on a TW ROM I'll score around 6k but on AOSP I'll get around 4-5k depending on overclock and whatnot.
Actual performance wise AOSP seems faster.

Yea I'm on AOSP. So are my numbers decent? And are there any ways to improve?. Phone doesn't seem slow but I feel it can be a bit faster. How can I achieve that? Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Quadrant doesn't mean anything. Performance should be based on how the phone reacts to daily use and not an app.
If you want the score to increase, overclock the kernel. Know that this is bad on the battery and will cause premature failure of you stress the processor too much.

Seriously, benchmarks mean nothing. I had a DNA and the benchmarks were insane but the phone didn't feel as "fast" as the numbers were saying.

So As long as there aren't any crippling bugs and what I use daily is operable I shouldn't worry about benchmarks? I'll take that and roll with it. And I appreciate the help

Exactly. I get lower benchmarks on AOSP as opposed to TW but I get better performance. Logic? None.

I feel outdated

I have had this phone for only a few months and I love it, but I get jealous when i see the new dual core phones like the Hercules come out, because I know that my phone is now below average with only a 1700 quadrant score
first world problems, I know
Install gb with dsextons tweaks and ext4. I hit 2888 yesterday with no overclock and 3976 with 1.5 oc.

Don't feel outdated... I have a MT4G and whether I'm running Sense 3.0, CM7 or MIUI any app opens in 1/10 of a second. And I have yet to find a game that slows my phone down. And yours has even a better processor than mine.
So dual core isn't much of a jump from high end single cores.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised to see the support this phone got since barely anyone jumped on it.
While you guys don't have many devs, you definitely have some high quality ones.
Had couple chances to trade for this phone. Just couldn't do it end of the day. Maybe one day!

Gotta ask

Why is everyone using touchwiz and adding launchers??? The stock roms are huge. I understand ics is on the way but why has no one gotten at least a nice stock 2.3 rom no I'm not a noob no I'm not flaming but it makes no sense to me when we could drop a huge chunk of bloat by compiling cm7. I've seen a couple attempts that have since been locked or abandoned. Makes me sad. And now for the trolls lol

I really wish AT&T would stop screwing around it's customers. Don't get me wrong I love AT&T but they release SGS2, then the Skyrocket, and now next the Skyrocket HD. That right there maybe messes with alot of devs. They get started on one, then an upped version comes out.
I have to say though, the Skyrocket i727 is thankfully getting some love. Look up this guy "seanzscreams". He is truly awesome. He has pumped out about 3 roms, keeps them updated and replies to people having trouble with them. I'm running one right now and have not had any problem. Very stable and great speeds+battery life.

Urgent Advice needed..!!

selling my G2x to buy Xperia neo v because of good support of sony and already ics on it.. is it a wise decision to go to single core after using a dual core??

Who the f cares about benchmark shizz. Its how the phone actually runs when ur using it. Fk numbers
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
eHow does the camera suck? Who cares about ics? There's at least 5 different builds here. I beg to differ on the cores being utilized efficiently, now with the update everything runs pretty efficiently. Battery life will show that. Its so hard having grown up in the 1970's -1980's to understand how younger generations appreciate nothing and expect perfection. It has to do with the internets. When I got my Atari 2600 in 1980, I was sooooo happy with it. There was no forum to chew the Developers asses. Not to mention, its just rude. Could you imagine the 2600 being released today? 90% of ya would kill yourselves.

Well for one I care about the "benchmark shizz"
But its always been about how the phone runs. That's why they invented benchmark programs to score each phones performance so you can compare how the hardware/software combination you are using performs. Using that tool you can actually get a tangable number for each setup you run therefore giving you the higher number for higher performance. So think about what you say before you go contradicting yourself in public.

Why F*ck numbers? Pretty sure binary is numbers..... you got a bad attitude.

No worries. ICS is no JB that's for sure, and truth be told ALL the awesome options available to the Blaze should be tried out! That's the great thing about having such options - you can start choosing based on preferences as opposed to basic functionality. I'm a smali hack at best - I would consider the other tinkerers for the Blaze to be far more qualified of a "developer" title than I really - so folks should really make sure to test the various waters as you never know what you might be missing!

Well single core to dual core, NFC, slightly larger screen, 4g 42mbps, larger capacity battery, and adreno 220 are things that I would consider better. At my dad's house near Minneapolis I can pull 20+mpbs on 4g...
But at the end of the day, you still are running android and that's not going to change much... and if you liked sense than you will likely not like TW. No guarantee that you also wouldn't like aosp either (my wife doesn't - she prefers sense). My wife has a sensation 4g and I see a major difference between her phone and my blaze. I prefer the blaze, because of those features listed (and access to the sd card without having to dissemble the phone to get to it) and I prefer TW (using TW5 launcher) to any sense rom. Sense just seems bloated to me and the Blaze just seems to be more responsive.
But hey, they're just phones and everyone is entitled to their own opinions and can like whatever they choose to like
