Really bad performance

Hey everyone!
Sorry if I do or say something wrong or in a wrong place, as this is my first post here and I really need your help.
I have just received my Nexus 5. I was loving it so far, but I have recently noticed a weird problem - the youtube videos in HD were really choppy. That is when I have decided to get AnTuTu and test my device with it. 23k!? That is barely more than Galaxy Note 2. Something is definitely wrong with my device and I can't seem to find what. Please help!

I don't see a problem here.

Is it supposed to score that low? I may be missing something, but shouldn't it score higher than SGS3?
And what about the jerkiness of the videos on youtube?

mine score around 22k, and work awesome

I did 3 runs of Antutu.
Run #1 22k
Run #2 29k
Run #3 26k
Just ran it again after making sure every app was closed, 29k.
Hit your multi task button and swipe close every app then try it.
No idea why its random.

YouTube is buttery smooth here. I don't see how it's normal if it's choppy on one of the fastest CPU. I would try a factory reset.

Most people including me have noticed good performance in everyday usage, but poor results with benchmark such as Antutu.
My investigation involved monitoring soc (cpu) temperature and clock frequencies.
I observed that the standard kernel that comes with Kit Kat has thermal management that aggressively throttles CPU clock frequencies when the temperature exceeds 63°C.
This will cause the clock frequencies to be reduced in an attempt to lower temperatures. With a benchmark like Antutu that causes all four CPU cores to be heavily loaded and run initially at maximum clock rate of 2265 MHz this will lead to clock frequencies dropping as far as 1100 MHz occasionally, with substantial drop in performance.
I have been unable to determine if the Adreno 330 is also subjected to similar thermal throttling.
Custom kernel will provide the way to overcome this for those willing to modify.
The highest Antutu score I've seen on their website is 30000, which is some way below other Snapdragon 800 powered phones, and most scores are below 25000, which can be bettered BT Snapdragon 600

Thank you for your responses. I am not the only one then.
But I would still like to find out what exactly is wrong with youtube. Every video's choppy, there's a lot of stuttering and frame skipping. Launching videos from Chrome feels better, but not much.

Mine runs everything perfectly smooth, but when I plug in to charge, everything is choppy and laggy. Happens on home screen/app drawer/apps

Don't forget the recently documented "optimizations" that most manufacturers are building into their devices. Benchmarks are beginning to mean less and less as manufacturers have discovered their use in marketing.

Yeah, I get that.
But mine still performs horribly in videos. I have just done the factory reset - to no avail. Youtube is completely unwatchable. I have tried to plug the charger in (just to rule out some weird power-saving issue) - same problem. Haven't tried to launch a video from the device itself yet though. I have also tried Real Racing 3 just to test the performance, and I guess it's OK. It's not prfect, as I can feel some framerate drops, but it is nowhere near as bad as the Youtube jerkiness.
No idea what's going on. Seems like no one else is having such a problem. Probably gonna have to return the device.

My geek bench scores are low.

I am having an issue with my Galaxy S6. The videos I have seen online show that S6 achieves scores more than 5000 on multicore on Geek Bench. However not even once have I been able to achieve that. My Geek bench is 64bit edition.
Not that my device is slow or anything but just that I have never been able to achieve that score. I get an average of 4500.
Please help.

Please no. You should keep yourself from doing that. Your device works fine.
Benchmark scores doesnt really scale well on day to day usage I guarantee that.
The main issue with low score in benchmark is DEVICE Temperature. The more heat it gets the lower the score.
Let me clear this thing up to you
You said that your device is not slowing down but got low scores in benchmark, that's because your normal usage of device doesnt push your hardware to its limits therefore you dont feel like it is crawling.
Benchmarking is different. It generally juices up your phone to its full capacity but thermal throttling comes into play, it is a safe-fail feature on device to prevent chips from getting fried. Its doing it by lowering the CPU/GPU clockspeed, the lower the speed, the lower the score you get.
But if you're desperate enough, you may achieve this thru cooling it first, mine gets 5.3k+ on multiscore at 23-25 airconditioned room. 4.5k average on room temperature, and a much lower score of 3K when I run it multiple times.

Oh okay. This is nothing to worry about right? Coz I read in one of the xda forums that this is coz there are some faulty units out there. And I voided my warranty with Unikernel. It was worth it. RAM issues and all.
Keeping it in a AC room I achieved scores beyond 5k.

See why worry if your device doesnt fail you at all hehe.
I dont know about you guys who keeps on relying with benchmark scores?
Live up with your device people. Just settle down and enjoy using it.

Haha yeah. Honestly if it wasn't for Unikernel I'd be pretty disappointed with this device. All lag and stutters gone and finally smooth scrolling. OK totally off topic questions.. Apparently this kernel has something called LED Fade. And I don't know how to make it work. Any help? My notification LED is still the same.

Honor 8 low on performance?

I've recently bought a honor 8, it's beautiful blazing fast as compared to my previously owned Xperia z1 but today I ran Antutu benchmark on this device and found that my score is really very unstable... I've seen couple of videos on YouTube doing their tests of Antutu on their honor 8 devices and their score comes out more than 88k but man my phone first got 71k followed by 79k followed by 65k....
I mean like is anyone else who knows what's going on? Please guys tell me what I am doing wrong is there some kind of performance mode or something? I am running nougat (7.0) and emui (5.0).

Check out this screenshot.

Do you have programs running in the background? Antutu scores seem to vary a good bit in my experience, but ~70K seems pretty low.

Pretty consistent over here on B380. Did you make sure no apps run in background etc. during testing? It does seem a little odd

On B380 without restart the phone. I think result is good!

66k with no apps running in the background :|

are you sure you have a Honor 8 ? why does your model not show ? why is your battery icon look like that ?
Sounds like you got power plan enabled or something , i'd do a factory reset or figure out the issue
b360 - l04 (USA)

Can you read ?
that doesn't explain the lack of model number in the screenshots
Good job pointing out the one thing i said that can be explained ! congrats !

Just downloaded the app and did the test with no reboot or anything.

Got a better score than before, but still guys it 10k less than the average of all yours. Everyone is above 90k.

Holy crap now look at this... What should i make of this.. just few minutes after it. I won't say the hardware has issues but it's just too unstable..

charge the phone. let it cool down. test it. last 2 results were due to low battery throttle. u had 10-15% left. obv, performance will drop. it also depends in which mode u're running ur phone and whats running in the back. in the end, antutu is usually unreliable. check if you get consistent results with geekbench, when the phone is charged. honor should be around 92k on emui4.1 and 94k on 5.
you should NEVER bench (if you actually want to get good scores) while under 20% or on charger

I do not think this is true. With 17% of the battery I got this score. Honor 8 does not gradually reduce by 20%?

its a general statement. phones tend to behave weirdly when battery is low. yeah in my case it performs pretty much the same despite the %, however this might not be the case for everyone because current state of the os/apps is different from one individual to another, and it could affect the end result greatly. if he thinks his phone is faulty, he should deffo service it, however sudden drop in performance, doesnt necessarily mean the phone is damaged. these drops are common even on nexus devices +bench methodology is different from one individual to another so scores should obviously differ. yeah, 80k is not 92, BUT it can reach 80, meaning it has potential. that sudden drop from 80 to 60 means either the phone is really and i mean really rekt, or there is something else going on, which is definitely a result of stuff installed on his phone. simple factory reset and pure antutu score in that scenario will show the real picture.

Does this feel better ? wow man it worked a reset did the thing..

I was surprised so i did it again just to be sure, i think it's okay now rite? Emui5.0 ...

antutu on oreo scores bad...

im getting score of 140-162K while on youtube i see people can reach up to 172-180K
is my phone faulty or oreo has a lower score?

Hi mate,
I remember getting around 176k before Oreo and 180k after Oreo.
These scores can be affected by a number of factors my friend. If you test it while the phone is low on battery while having plenty of apps running it will naturally give you a low test score.
Test it when your battery is almost full and try to leave the phone to cool off after charging then test it once again. Keep your WiFi, location, Bluetooth and mobile data off to get the highest reading.
Keep in mind that if you perform the test repeatedly the battery will get warmer and the score will gradually decrease.
I personally tested my phone once or twice then deleted the antutu app straight after. It may consume your battery life or pose a privacy threat if you keep it running.

When using Antutu I leave my phone off for around 10 minutes until it gets cold and then when I turn it back on and go to do the benchmark I put it in aeroplane mode. All my scores since the Oreo update have been just over 180k.

Oreo

Stock ROM, no tweaks, locked bootloader, no root. Personally liking Oreo (Bluetooth issues aside). My Antutu score seems average for an SD835 SOC.

If you desperately want a high score that means nothing then put the phone in the freezer and run the test

This is my score, one try with stamina mod and the second without (the highest is without stamina)

Its just numbers, doesnt really matter.

I dont care about analtutu benchmarks.
iphoneX scores great, and its slower than our xz premium in most REAL tests. (launching apps, multitasking etc)

179420
Android 8
Stock
Rooted with storm xperifix

I had 1 time 163k and 2 time 180k

184211 xz premium 8.49 stock with 79 app installed

Low Antutu benchmark

Hello guys,
So I bought my phone almost 2 months ago and it performs good most of the time. However my Antutu Benchmark is really low for a device that was advertised with 300k Antutu benchmark score which is weird. In the following Screenshot you can see that my score is almost 100k less than the advertised 300k. I don't know if I should return the device or if it's my fault.. Even though I don't have much space left, it shouldn't affect the GPU performance that much. To be honest, I feel like the performance is sufficient for my usage but I'm still wondering what's causing this low score. Anyone has an idea?

Just Unlocke bootloader And flash Custom roms with good kernel
You will got 291k and even 300k
what's your current miui version ?
