Anyone else feel their N4 was faster?!
My N5 feels same speed as N4 but bench mark shoes my N4 was faster..
Speed test internet in N4 was faster as well!
Why? Because in still on stock rom with N5?

Maybe cause you was on a cooked ROM on your N4... Same di for me, not really slower but something like "hesitating"..

I don't know what benchmarks you were using but my numbers show it beating out just about everything on the market, except for devices that were cheating their scores.
I had an N4 stock and the N5 stock is way snappier/faster than the N4 to me

My Nexus 5 is noticeably faster on both benchmarks and to the human-eye. I'm completely stock also.

I used antutu on N4 with PA and got around 26,xxx. N5 with stock I get 22,xxx..
Internet speeds via speedtest.net app
N4 H+ 20-24mbps
N4 LTE 24-30mbps
N5 H+ 15-18mbps
N5 LTE 18-22mbps
To the eye, moving around menus the N5 seems same speed.. although it does boot faster.
I also get more bars on the N5 on H+ and LTE! So I would think it would get better speeds.

The Nexus 5 is much, much faster than the Nexus 4. PA ROM is probably causing some dirty results in the benchmark, because it most certainly isn't the correct result. Hell, I just ran the benchmark on my N5 and got nearly 24,000 with other apps running. There shouldn't be such a dramatic range in numbers. It might also be Antutu, which is probably why no tech reviews use it.
Also, at least for LTE speed, I've seen over 45mbit/s download on my N5 already. It's capable of doing just great on LTE. Keep in mind that these speeds can vary DRAMATICALLY from one moment to the next.

Okay, so I have a NS4G which is my personal phone. Rooted, running CM7 RC1. Love it, but I digress. Today I bought a rooted GSM Nexus S, also running CM7 RC1. With both devices wiped, I decided to run a benchmark on both. Quadrant gave my NS4G an average score of about 1900, and the GSM Nexus S was consistenly hitting 2600-2700. What's the difference? Is there something else that'll effect the benchmark so significantly and I'm not seeing it? Any info will help. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like maybe the GSM nexus may be on an overclocked kernel. Only thing I can think of.

For 2700 its not overclocked! only a optimized kernel! like trinity on 1ghz!
Different kernel optimizations or governor. Quadrant score doesn't mean jack.
The kernels are the same, as far as I can see. Upon further testing, I was able to hit 3000+ with the GSM version and get over 2100 with mine consistently.
If the quadrant score doesn't mean jack, whats the most accurate method of guaging my phone's performance?

Governor? Is that the same. And the only way to check is to just use the phone and look at daily performance wise. The a better benchmark tool is cf bench

what is GSM. sorry if that sounds dumb
One of two types of radio for voice/SMS/2G. The other is CDMA. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. ATT and T mobile are GSM.

I've recently rooted my galaxy nexus to load jelly bean 4.1.1. I was wondering if anyone has boosted the Cpu clock to speed up there phone. What are your thoughts on this?
Any help would be great

...are you serious? I'd give you an answer, but it's way too damn easy to find out for yourself that I'm gonna let you do that. I believe in you!

Sure it is possible, but why? With JB and a nice kernel mine is so damn fast I just want to slow it down a bit and enjoy the battery.
I know how to do it.. It's really easy! I'm over clocking now...
My question is for those who have bump up there speed, have you notice a big difference in performance, battery drain, or your phone running a little warmer when using it quite a bit..
Those of us who have a galaxy Nexus know that battery life sucks! And performance can be questionable at times. I was just looking for opinions on the pros and cons of over clocking from people who have been running it longer than me...

It strikes me as a bad idea. My Samsung Galaxy Nexus cdma phone gets plenty hot and sucks plenty of juice without overclocking, even though I keep LTE turned off. It's also a very snappy (and stable) performer with stock 4.04.
Every chip is different, so you're going to find that your experiences might not necessarily be like ours. Some folks have OCed to 1.8ghz for the hell of it, whereas I could pull off no where near that with mine. That being said, I've stopped overclocking altogether as, especially with jellybean, my phone is already pretty damn fast.
I appreciate all your input. I'll probably set it back to interactive and back to a cap of 1200.. I've just noticed now that I have my JB all set up. I've found it to be a little chunky at times. Going into Google now, and some times using the voice input..
I'm surrounded by ios lovers and I'm a huge Android guy and I really want to show them up with the performance of JB, so I don't have to hear them ***** about how chunky android can be..
I'm sure it all has to do with the JB build I I've loaded..
Again thank you for your time..

Playing games is usually the culprit, but my nexus sometimes gets hot even after web browsing... How hot does your Nexus 5 get??
I can't say mine gets hot... I use Faux Kernel with the recommended settings and also undervolt my phone. You can also fiddle (lower) with the max frequencies for the CPU and GPU to your liking. You'll often find that you have more than enough power to handle games and can reduce the frequencies quite a bit.

I dont want to mess around with Kernels and Root just yet.. Once the big ROM's start to pick up speed and become stable thats an option... Hoping Google brings out a software update to reduce the heat, and do something about the Camera, I honestly think if this had a Camera app which was optimised for the Camera it would be better than the S4 and the likes, when you put the S4 on a fully stock rom, the pictures are horrible, on the Nexus 5 they're just average... If it had the S4 Camera App who knows what it would be like!

Have some faith in the Devs. There are a couple of ROMs and Kernels that are perfectly stable. Thanks to the Faux kernel I have seen a ton of improvements over stock when it comes to performance and battery life.
I came from the HTC One and my nexus hasn't gotten near as hot as that would get.

Hello everyone,
I have taken many benchmark tests and all of them fell short of a Galaxy S4 and even some other Nexus 5s. Here are screenies:

The first Nexus 5 I had I noticed this! Antutu would show it on comparable performance with the HTC One X! I swapped phones unfortunatly but I have another Nexus now. Haven't run any benchmarks but Minion Run runs like crap
Benchmark apps run horribly on this phone. It throttles way too soon. That said, benchmark apps are useless. Nearly all major brands are known to "cheat" on them by temporarily boosting performance above what you would normally get during use. Especially Samsung.
like what was said above, dont trust benchmarking apps. They are pointless. Download cpu spy and better battery stats and see what running when at what cpu speed. as long as your hitting top cpu clock at some point (like when playing a game), the hardware is more then likely fine and probably just needs some kernel tuning to get it to your liking
That said, there are people who get amazing results... One last thing to note, Franco kernel hates my phone. I get random reboots at normal clock speed 2.3ghz. Or is it my phone...?

It depends how many apps are in teh back ground, the phones temp, and all kinds of stuff. I have gotten as low as 17k and as high as 29k.
Also - I don't think the majority of benchmark apps have been optimized for 4.4 yet.
Would it be safe to overclock to 2.8GHz with the CPU Governor as "intelliactive" and leave it there for normal use?
ROM: HD Revolution 5.5
Kernel: Faux
Probably.

The real question is why not? LOL. Honestly though I just like finding new things to do with my phone and coming from a locked Galaxy S4 I have to say I'm enjoying the amount of things I can do with this device that I couldn't on the S4. The extra 600MHz was because I was hoping it would drop any chances of lag with my favorite apps & Xposed which always seems to cause a delay or two for me. On the other hand I like squeezing what I can out of it. Same with my Desktop too, get maximum stable over clock and stick with it. ;D. If there's some downsides such as life shortage feel free to mention it though because I'd rather know early on than when it's too late. Sorta the point of this thread

I've got my i5 2500k overclocked to 4.3 GHz now stock voltage . As for life shortage its hard to say. I would monitor temps on stock vs over clocked and compare. As long as it doesn't get considerably warmer which for mobile would be 10° more or less you should be fine

Well with normal use it gets like 40-55 C (CPU) and during an Antutu benchmark just at the beginning it hit 75C sooo not very happy with that.... especially considering that's in the highs for a lot of desktop processors, can't even imagine how bad that must be for a phone processor LOL. It was @2.803 MHz with voltage of "1130" & ondemand governor. Not so sure as to what "1130" is based on though as I'm new to mobile over clocking, guess I'll figure it out tomorrow!
Edit: Forgot to include that just a few minutes ago I flashed a new kernel due to some random lag, old one never hit above 50 even on tests (with intelliactive). Also using ondemand/interactive now. Gonna re check the differences on those two governors tomorrow and decide which one I wanna go with! : D
