[MODEMS] I897 Captivate Modem Comparisons

This (not very scientific) test was all done on Serenity KJ3 4.2. I ran the test 3 times and in order to get an average. It was done in the same location, with the same server chosen in SpeedTest Mobile app. I did this mainly to pinpoint which captivate modem worked best for me in my area (South East Florida), so keep in mind that you will probably get different results depending on where you are.
I'm just sharing this in case someone finds it useful. I'll try and add new modems as they come out.

Problem is that you're not the only one on the network when the tests are being run!

No, that's not a problem ..

Well, I ran this at like 4 am when I couldn't get to sleep.. Don't know how many people were on at the time, but I'm sure it's less than usual lol
Either way, like I said in the OP, this a very non-scientific test.

What about 1900 vs 850mhz?
I've done the "test" in the past with i9000 modems.... but I separated the frequencies cause it makes a difference.
Also signal strength..... I made sure that I had greater than -85db

Good suggestions.. I'll do a more in depth test when I get a chance. I just got lazy since these modems are RAT Restricted, and doing the little trick to change frequencies takes longer..

no problem... I do think though that the RAT issue is phone related...... I have no issues getting in to service mode.
I have a 1008.

running miui rom, cm7 kernel, and living in south america, which modem will be better for me?
Any help will be apreciated.

Interesting, thanks!

Has anyone tried BVJJW2?

About time they put this out but you get a silly score on the pc lol http://www.3dmark.com/is/22245.

Shure - but my PC won't run on my mobiles battery. lol
They claim results should be comparable across different platforms.

Here is my PC result from back then, incase someone is interested
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6767
Only CPU abit OC'ed, time that i get a GPU upgrade, but not worth untill the new series come next year (not paying ~€500,- for only 10-15% performance increase )

Your card ain't that bad for the price you (prolly) payed
For the top end cards it's a whole different thing, all sorts of things you need to keep in consideration, but the 660 is by no means a bad card for that price

Oh no I don't mean now. I only got this in November so I'm good for now and plus use my tv for most games which is old and only has a rez of 1360x768 which helps alot for maxing out settings but it does play BF3 on at max on a 1680x1050 monitor. I paid £160 for it and it come with AC3 which at the time gave me AC2 lol and at the time the ti was about £220 so think I did god with this one.

Let me test

... And now my phone with 5.1.1 ...
What do you think? I'm very proud of this phone....
No lag no hot... Good work LG!!!!

I have the version with 16 GB and 2 GB of RAM !!!

That's a huge difference, did you clean update or just took the OTA?

To tell you the truth your first result with 5.01 was very low even with that firmware.your second result with 5.1.1 is normal.after we update our rom or get a new device we should at first reset to defaults to minimise the risk of bad flashing.

I've made a dirty flash, I've no brand firmware and I have flash Vodafone firmware in dirty mode. I'm really happy for this update...

All ok then!!! Indeed latest firmware fixes a lot of problems of our devices

WOW, that increase is huge!!
And I always thought this phone was a flop...................................

I got around 48000 on 5.1.1 with a new device with just a few apps installed

Heres mine 5.1.1 all stock ota, using nova launcher if that has any effect..

Good result!

Got a H955 on Friday. Updated to 5.1.1. Running completely stock at the moment.
Ran 3 test back to back:
1) 53703
2)52253
3) 47712
Throttling cost 11.2%
Thought to myself: Never really done back to back testing on my LG G2 - lets see what happens.
Test one was around 36000, Test two around 30000 and Test three around 29500. Throttling cost 18% The G2 was warm to the touch, and throttled quicker. I've been more than happy with my G2 for nearly 2 years.....
For me it seems the bigger problem was LG's implementation of Android at launch.

I put the air conditioning on the phone and was able to hit 57000!

I did a test again for the first time in a few days, and got 53829. A few days ago I did a test right after a reboot, but my score was pretty terrible then. It was about 43 000, I think.
Did a second test and got 50042.

Guys, if you force gpu rendering, the phones cpu gets freed up to do the more important stuff and the battery actually improved a bit too. Guessing that adreno 430 is a bit more power efficient then the a57 cores.

Force gpu rendering.. did you also force 4x MSAA?

How's the battery life affected after enabling GPU rendering? Better, worse or about the same?
Thanks for sharing.

First time I ran this the day I got the phone I got about 4800 on geekbench3.
Since then, rooted and debloated a little at a time... it just keeps getting faster and smoother.
I got this score running the Noble Alpha kernel tonight, after removing more bloat.
Benchmarks in and of themselves do not prove much. But when comparing same device performance when tweaking, I do believe they are a good indication of performance loss or gains.
I can say... I'm impressed with the note 5.

http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/141591 my battery test result. Running darthstalker rom v3 and skyhigh kernel 2.1

That's what I've gotten. And I've consistently gotten just over 70k, I am LOVING this phone

So is this good? How well does pcmark score on your device?

So i updated antutu to the latest beta 1 version 6..and here s the tally. Also ran a bunch of other tests...
Using darthstalker v4 with xposed running in the bakground, skyhigh 2.1 kernel with a57 locked to 2.4 and a general undervolt of -87.5mv accross the board (-100mv actually on the a53 cores) and 852mhz gpu clock (so basically i m kinda maxed out ) ) everything runs perfectly smooth and stable and my main goal with all.the tweaking actually is to know that i ll be golden till the note 7 comes out LOL (at least).

My highest scores

I don't get why mine is so slow... I get the same general AnTuTu scores across stock, arter97, and now Skyhigh. It's the same with every benchmark, slower than it should be. =/
One thing I noticed... Synapse always shows Core 2 at -1C... I wonder if I have a faulty chip?

Thermal throttling my friend. Try leaving the phone in a cool place for 10 minutes and then running another benchmark. Your scores should be around 69-70 or above, normally.

That's some serious heat this chip produces. My 4940MX runs about as hot as the Exynos does lol
I'm sitting in a room where it's like 18C at the moment but I suppose I could stick it in the fridge.

Which Rom / Mod gives best battery

Hey guys, would love to know which Rom or mod gives the best battery life for our mobile. I am on stock and planning or changing up if any of them are worth it. Please do reply. And FYI I am still a noob so do be kind haha. Peace ✌

stock stock stock..! battery on cm12.1 sucks.

haha well thanks. I get around 4 to 4.30 min screen on time with a lot of clash of clan haha. Like 2 hours of clash of clan !! Its good but i just wanted to know if it can be made even better.

Yea stock is best unfortunately. But with medium use I end the day around 50% battery life with cm12.1, although I do not pay for data and keep GPS off until needed and limit play services' ability to wake CPU.

I'm with a terrible serviced carrier network called Wind Mobile so the battery is always being drained just keeping connection with cm12.1 / custom roms I get about half a day until I gotta charge it up from about 13% with stock I get way over. That's the one thing I'll give Motorola, I literally just root and use xposed for any of my needs and with marshmallow coming layers is built straight into aosp so theming is also an added bonus. I'm actually really looking forward to a stable MM release.

okay then guys, thanks. will stick to stock and wait for MM .

For me pac rom works vey good and battery is great. I go to work 7.00 am and stop working at 3.30pm between that time i lost 5-7 % battery. I use viber messenger lot and internet short time in my coffee breaks. I can give thumps for pac rom.

How about kernels vs battery usage?
Stock, Squid or blu_spark?

Stock rom and blu_spark r92 gives the best battery drain:

As a former Torontonian, I feel you. Basically every carrier in Canada is inadequate, and very expensive. With my carrier and kernel settings, my phone has 7 hours of SOT. I'm using a carrier that has good coverage over the entire country, and it has LTE only.

After using all roms i found that stock rom gives the maximum sot
