I was curious about this phone's overheating/lag problems, so I thought I'd try turning on Battery Saver. It seems to be much smoother now. Still not quite perfect, but it's a step forward; at least for me. Now if only I could do something about those dreadful orange bars...
Can anyone else corroborate with my results? I've also read online about an update - v10h - that "transforms" the phone into a lagless beast. Anyone received that update yet? Here's a link to the source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/cell-phone-reviews/lg-g-flex2-review/
I have the V10c-226-01 update, and the phone is ok.

Will test the battery saver but it seems weird that it's impact performance in a positive way. It should limit it not the other way around.
That's strange how'd he get that update? A lot of people have received 10e just recently which is 2 updates away from that one. I'm still on 10c.

hey, guys, don't have the phone at the moment, but had anyone tried undervolting and underclocking?
The main reason i think, it should help, is because android ran perfectly smooth on my old HTC One X, with S4 Pro, quad-core @ 1500Mhz.
Afaik, we need a custom kernel to modify voltage, but underclocking may be the option for those, who suffers from overheating.

I think the reason it runs better with Battery Saver is because it prevents it from overheating in the first place. Even with Battery Saver limiting the CPU to power sipping levels, it is still a fairly powerful CPU, certainly enough to run the OS. I'll run an Antutu Benchmark with it on vs off.
Okay, I ran the benchmarks. The results are very surprising! The score with Battery Saver on is 10000 points higher than with it off. Both results are after a clean boot and both were done with the device cool. Although, a benchmark I did 2 days ago with no Battery Saver had a score of 43000. That may have been because I had fewer apps installed.
I did the same tests. 1st one without battery saver on, 2nd with it on. I got similar results, but not as severe. Both were on a fresh boot. However the 2nd test was shortly after the first, so it might have been a little warm.
Test one :
Test two:
I guess we need to figure out what the battery saver is doing and make a permanent tweak.
Sent from my LG-H950 using XDA Free mobile app
it's limiting the top frequency of the processor, and maybe sets the governor to conservative, i guess.
You can turn it on, and check cpu frequency in sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
(path may vary, it's from my Moto X, but i think, they're common)
Then turn it off, to see, if it changes.
I found something else interesting. I looked into the CPU info in Antutu, and, with Battery Saver off, the CPU max frequency was at 1.5ghz, but with BS on, it was 1.9ghz

I've been running my G flex 2 with two A57 cores disabled. In typically averaging about 6 hours of screen on time. Just general use; YouTube, Facebook, looking up LG G4 reviews, texting, other social networking apps. Just wanted to say disabling cores has really worked out for me so far... I also accidentally deleted LGs stock UI, so I've been using nova

HOW?!?! I get a max of 12 to 13 on heavy usage.
If anyone does do this, I find that I get great battery life now after trying the CDMA/GSM fix (cant find the link).
Might wanna be something to look into for future ROMs. (From what I remember, the glitch shows the phone as looking for GSM networks while it's connected to a CDMA network. I followed the instructions to correct this and it's had a positive impact on my battery life. Getting near double the life now).
You guys are on 3G aren't you? I don't even get 2 hours on 4G with medium heavy usage.

Waiting to see if it makes a difference, though.
8-14 on moderate use to heavy is all you are going to be getting. I doubt you'll see a rom aimed only at battery life. Find a rom with sense removed (there are a few of them) or asop and further remove junk you don't use especially the social network **** and enjoy.

You really don't even need an app from the market like the guy suggests in that thread. If you just dial *#*#INFO#*#*, then go to Phone Information, then scroll down to 'Set preferred network type' and select CDMA auto (prl) from the list.

what software is that use to show the CPU and Battery usage.

Actually that CDMA/GSM fix, can it be applied through a rom? I'm pretty sure that's a built in phone setting where you have to dial through the keypad. Regardless, think of it this way. Processors and memory run off of voltage. The more it's in use the more power it will take. Now undervolting and underclocking the CPU is an obvious fix but also the memkiller settings. The more memory that is in use the more power is being taken up. This is why AOSP has better battery life than Sense under the same circumstances. With a more aggressive memkiller you can further increase battery life. I am going to build aggressive settings in my next release of my rom but for custom settings you can always get Autokill from the Market, assuming your phone is rooted of course.
I'm getting FANTASTIC battery life on the latest Fresh ROM.

Has setcpu been updated with native evo support, or are people still rocking N1 settings?
You get OC Widget by searching "overclock widget" in the Market. However, I don't see the need for it since the EVO automatically scales the CPU clock, and we can't overclock.

I guess i should have tried spelling out overclock instead of OC (DUH).. lol, and i have heard that, and have no doubt that it is true, but some people are claiming it has given them some improvement in battery life... Maybe its just a placebo effect, but i am gonna run a few tests and see what i can come up with....
I read a post on another forum from a guy that sounded like he REALLY knew what he was talking about and said the same thing you did but with some pretty big words and tech talk to back it up. But hey.. its free, and i like trying new stuff... even if its so i can see it for myself that it doesnt do anything.
Am I the only one that realizes overclock widget and setcpu don't work on our phones? I have tried both on 3 different ROMs and checked through a adb shell the cpu usage while the phone was asleep and neither one works no matter what I set the programs to.
Awesome, I've officially made it >24 hours on a single charge! (Though I did plug it into my laptop for 3 minutes to transfer some stuff)
Started the monitor with a little less than 90%, and now I'm at 8%

I have read that the HTC Inspire has the same CPU as the Thunderbolt, if this is correct will the 1.8ghz overclock also work for the Thunderbolt? Anyone with some light on this situation?

We'll have to wait until we get custom kernels to do this. Each phone has a different kernel IIRC so you can't slap the Inspire OC on the Thunderbolt and rock on.
I'm sure we'll hit 1.8 if not 2.0. Just be patient.
I'm happy with 1G as is... but I could always use more speed.
According to Wikipedia:
Inspire uses the MSM8255 chip..
Thunderbolt uses the MSM8655.
They are both rated for 1ghz, but it could be that the MSM8655 is superior in other ways and might have a higher/safer overhead.. We might be able to get a 100% overclock or really dark close to it.

lol I was being sarcastic. I am well aware of the fact that you can get good battery life out of an overclocked phone. I came from the evo 4G where I had "god" mode enabled and got great battery life.
P.S. God mode on the evo ment overclocking to 1.2Ghz. Most phones couldn't go that high, so you had to enable "god" mode to try.

I tried that as well. My Quadrant score was similar but I found browser scrolling and gameplay in Angry Birds to be noticeably choppy. Also, in Quadrant, the orbiting planet test pegs at 60fps stock where with this kernel it was jumping around all over at lower fps. Ended up flashing a different stock clocked kernel and everything was good again.

I have a kernel that is 1.8ghz capable, but it will reset after a while. So far it seems that 1.4ghz is stable. If I go any higher, eventually it resets. I have the Liquid sense rom installed. Haven't tried any others to see if the kernels are more stable at higher clocks.
Edit: with this ROM at 1.8hgz I get a 2571 on quadrant. I think that's particularly good. Too bad it resets once in a while. Any one recommend a good kernel for stable overclock?

Depends, is your phone rooted? Or is it just running stock TW?

who cares Its just a number. But if it means that much to you run it several times in a row, it will eventually mess up and give you a hugh fake number You can show all your friends
I got over 30,000 once on my dx and it was still choppy!

Yep, its a number, and trying to "increase" it to make the phone "faster" is dumb. If stock has a 1.5ghz clock and scored lets say 4800, Cm10 might be +/- 200 but on the same clock it cant score much higher..... without dumb modifications to fake it.
It is not dumb at all.. You are trying to optimize the performance of your phone.. Make sure battery power saving is turned off, close all applications, usually running after a fresh reboot help. Overclocking helps.
I scored this https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s720x720/527107_10151086780898557_1408887957_n.jpg
I was saying the number of 4800 as an example. And yes power saving lowers cpu clock I believe so that affects the score. I'm running a test on cm10 no overclock or anything to show what a true score is. of course overclocking makes it faster, thats not dumb but modifications geared to increase the actual score is silly.
Just got 4400.
These tools are used to give an estimate of how your device compares to other devices... That being said I am running Cleanrom/Cleankernel and get just about the same numbers all the time except for Linpack... I have my phone overclocked to 1800-1999 ghz and my scores are below but it depends on your hardware too... You might not be able to push some phones that high but mine is totally stable at these overclocks so I def have a keeper but my damn home button sticks so I am in the process of getting a replacement... Much love to Cleanrom though!! :good:
I also have no secrets as to make my score higher and even if I did that would be stupid!! IMO
Pretty much all developers will tell you quadrant and benchmarks do not (always) translate to real world performance.
That said: ROMs and kernels will affect scores.
CPU governors will affect scores
Overclocking your CPU will boost our score.
The current jellybean leaks is very fast - will give you scores of 5500+ if that's what our looking for.

Why are people over clocking this phone? Is their anything on Android that really needs more power then a dual core S4 at 1.5ghz?

The point is Quadrant sucks and is unreliable, I wasn't kidding when I said I got a 30,000 once....Run it a few times in a row it gets a little better as you repeat. Different biuldprop settings can also make a big difference so different ROMS could easily have vastly different scores.. You couldn't see that +/-200 in real life anyways...... admit it you just want bragging rights :highfive: cooomme onnn admit it

I run mine at 1.2 and honestly I can't tell a difference between 1.2, 1.5, and 2.1 beyond benches telling me it's faster.
Please excuse my Galaxy S III, it's a bit Paranoid.
Just for fun....I loaded unofficial cm 9/13 by invisiblek, antutu was 7383. I then loaded ktoonz kernel, it goes up to 8123 (did not overclock). There was someone oc'ed it and got >9000.

I just run the phone at 1.0ghz to save on battery and apart from the occasional lag that comes with it, it's not that bad. Had my battery go over 2 days without a single charge due to the underclocking.

Absolutely stock here. Don't get hung up over benchmark scores... they're only useful for comparing YOUR device before and after you make changes.

If you REALLY want the best score (and I recommend this when you use a benchmark the right way... like I said, to measure the result of changes), restart your phone, let everything load, then run it. A bunch of background operations can and will slow things down.
But again... they're meaningless for the most part. I could run it again now and the numbers could be wildly different.
Quadrant scores mean nothing.
Maybe u guys just don't know how to test very well or thoroughly, or don't know what to look for. Benchmarks do help. If u know how to use them. No, they don't always show real world use. They should be used to determine the phones maximum. I use them for judging how well they will play through the hardest emulator game, or most intense Android game. It isn't the only thing I go by, but when figuring out new settings or trying to push a new kernel to its absolute max, it is useful as well.

I tried AnTuTu Benchmark X on the very 1st day of my new Nexus 5. Nothing was installed and I got around 20000. The application description was showing that it is not compatible for android 4.4.
Few weeks later I tried AnTuTu on ART runtime. Then again it was too low around 18000. Then I changed my runtime and to Dalvik and tested it again it shows around 22000. I compared my result there and I got some awesome benchmarks above 30000 for nexus 5 but no one is below 25000.
So I tested it again and again it is varying. Whenever I tested it shows different result but my benchmark score doesn't go above 25000.
Can anyone please tell me why is it? Do I trust this application? Or any app to fix this issue?
My Nexus 5 is not rooted yet running on Dalvik.

Thermal throttling (let your phone cool down before running Antutu), ART gives a bit lower scores, Dalvik+Bionic optimizations, custom kernel and so on...
There is not really something to fix since it's not really an issue, but you have the "trick" in the links above...
Read also the benchmark thread and you will see some "configurations".

I thought that low benchmark score means low in performance. Is it true?
And why goggle does not include optimization??

The thing is that unless doing benchmarks was essential, or was everyone's hobby, they would worry about it but they throttle speed and cores to keep phone cooler.

Low in performance? Nope, not necessarily..., If your device is smooth and responsive? It depends what you mean by "performance"...
You can have low scores in benches and have a smooth general UI, but you can also have higher scores with a smooth general UI... Like you can have higher scores in benches but a "laggy" general UI...
I agree to not mix raw performance (benches) and "performance" in general UI... After that it depends of what you want, for me I tweak my device (governor, i/o scheduler, VM settings) to have the most possible fast, responsive and fast general UI and after, only after, I play with benches to see. My goal is to have good results, "performance", in both situations. I will not sacrify the "performance" in general UI for higher score in benches...

Most will say the Nexus 5 is the smoothest Android experience to date. Google chooses not to alter how the SoC functions just to maximize synthetic benchmark scores. However that doesn't stop rooted users from doing so by:
- altering thermal throttling limits
- using optimized Dalvik instead of Art or stock Dalvik

Other phones run their cores at full speed whenever a benchmark app is opened. With nexus devices they will only do what they have to do and not run at max speed unless it has to.
Means your phone didn't have to break a sweat running the benchmark, lots of potential.

Also, many companies "cheat" in benchmarks. For example, Samsung is known for when the phone detects some sort of benchmark application, the phone will automatically overclock the phone to possibly unsafe limits to achieve better scores. I believe LG does this too. A quick google search of phone benchmark cheating can yield a lot.
It's interesting because I had the same thought about why my friend's LG G2 could get a higher score than I could even though I had a higher-clocked SoC and whatnot. So it might be something worth investigating yourself in your own free time
So no need to worry about benchmark scores.
nexus 5 is buttery smooth ui.. Thnx all for your ans.

Yes, exactly. If all is smooth in UI it's the most important. It depends also of what you want, if you want to play with benches use the "classic" Antutu and tweak a bit your device (custom kernel, Bionic/Dalvik patches). You can achieve about 35 000 points without overclock..., all is explained and it's up to you.
But if you are not a "bencher" or you don't see the goal, uninstall it and use your phone as you need. You are right, no need to worry about if all the rest is fine for you.
