Only seems to be an issue with my VZW G920V (BOK7), run's fine with the ATT G920A (BOJ7). The Garden benchmark starts but quits within seconds and says "Unsupported" on the results screen. Anybody else having this issue?
Thanks!
I have the same problem!
I'm experiencing the same issue on my Verizon Galaxy S5. It only happens occasionally and after the phone's performance takes a steep performance dive until I reboot.
I suspect it may be related to an issue with the GPU driver, or the GPU may be in the process of dying. I experienced the same symptoms for several months on my Galaxy S3 before it died from the infamous Samsung "sudden death syndrome."
Do either of you notice a performance decrease before running the benchmark that produces this result? (laggy, slow, choppy transitions, etc.)

I snagged a Droid Charge yesterday. Coming from the Droid X, I'm really hoping the battery life is substantially better.
One issue I've seen is slowness when playing the game Drag Racing. I don't play too many games and haven't seen slowness anywhere else yet (It's only been about 24 hours), but this game is borderline unplayable.
If I get out of the game and FC a bunch of apps, the game runs fine, but it's gotten to the point where the game is almost always choppy and slow.
I've reached out to the Dev to see if it's an incompatibility with the device, but also wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this on either Drag Racing or anything else running on the Charge.
Thanks!
The Charge is slower than the Droid X due to the proprietary file system Samsung uses. This is an infamous trait of Samsung devices, since they constrain the speed with a slow a55 file system
Has anyone else experienced a monumental decrease in benchmark scores after the 3.1 update?? My quadrant scores dropped from 1900-2450 to 1400-1700 MAX. Also, hardware keyboard seemed to stay the same but stock android one screen keyboard has been severely lagging for me, as well as the browser scrolling.
Best Regards
Edit: Problem solved. See next post.
Hi
I recently replaced my first HTC One S (S4 Black, broken) with a new one (S4 Grey). Both were/are running HTCs stock JB unrooted. However, on the new phone I've been having some severe performance issues lately.
The phone is very, very slow (at times), for example when I unlock it the screen might take several seconds to light up (the image is displayed, but no backlight), and the pin input keyboard is very, very unresponsive - some times I can input the entire pin code before the phone seems to register the input, other times a number or two is even skipped/not registered. Opening apps ad running games is also slower than it has been, animations lag frequently (opening/closing the notification drawer, for example), and text input is also laggy. Battery life is also noticeably worse than on my old phone.
My Antutu scores as of now fluctuate between 6700 and 7700, which seems extremely low for this device (shouldn't I be scoring ~10000+?). In fact, in a few tests it scores lower than my old Sensation (on my highest scoring run today, CPU Integer and RAM were both significantly lower than the Sensation, at 599 and 939 respectively (vs. 966 and 1411). On my lowest scoring runs I only scored about 500 points higher than the Sensation (even though it's heavily OCd, that's still crazy).
I tried running the Antutu Stability test, but that didn't tell me anything useful - the top graph fluctuates between ~54 and ~46, and the temperature never got higher than 34 degrees. According to Lookout Mobile Security, there's no malware or anything like that on the phone.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Do I really have to root the phone and install a custom ROM to make it perform as it should?
Okay, never mind, I figured it out - clearing cache and data for Google Maps of all things solved this (I'd tried killing the processes and services before, to no avail). Maps was running two processes and two services and consuming a horrible amount of memory and CPU resources. My last Antutu run scored 10800, so everything's back to normal. A lesson learned, I guess.
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.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F, running the official Android 6 marshmallow update.
Sometimes when I try to take a picture with flash, it tells my that my cpu is too hot and it needs to cool down, before I could use the flash again. I downloaded an app to look at the temperatures, and after not using the phone for a while I made sure it was cold and the battery showed about 29c, but the cpu temp was about 50c. I don’t think this is the actual temperature, because every spot of the phone was absolutely cold. When I ran some slight tasks the cpu temp was rising to about 86c. The phone was indeed hot tot he touch and the battery temp was rising too, about 40c, but I still think the temperatures it is showing for the cpu are not right. That’s why I get some errors like that. The battery temp seems a bit high too.
Now my question is, is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to maybe calibrate the cpu temperature sensor? I tried everything, all the way up to resetting my phone to factory settings, but with no luck.
I also noticed that the download speeds are very slow, especially when I try to update or download an app from the play store, compared to other devices on the same network. I ran a speedtest and the results are normal, the same as other devices, but the real world download speed isn’t.
I hope someone could help me with this problems. The slow downloading speed isn’t really bothering me that much, but the inaccurate cpu temperature is. Sometimes it gets really hot, sometimes even with slight tasks yes, maybe that isn’t normal too.
