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.
Just got 100% yea me! But just wanted to compare performance.
I played mostly at 80% resolution and 80% draw distance. Max graphics with dynamic lighting.
Same settings I played the original GTA on and minus rain that experience was very smooth.
Anyway I would say it was relatively smooth sailing 25-35 ish fps (guessing) but some places like Little Hatti and at random times from just running around the game would start to crawl. I know this is a port though so...
Overall I was content and enjoyed the experience but was kinda thinking coming into the Nexus 5 I could play something like this with no drop off. Was that silly thinking?
Anyone else out there care to post their experience?
BTW I am stock rooted. No custom kernels yet.
I think the phone could do much better in a freezer.
With "TT" in account your results seem good but FPS will get consistently slower over time so best to play in short bursts. :good:
Governor settings.
Best setup for gtas'.. Lock on 2 cores only, kernel allowing, since the game only uses 2, this will keep heat down. Setup ondemand governor to non aggressive race back to zero settings.. down_differential 30, all up_thresholds' 70
I played for quite a while yesterday with no drop in performance at max settings, i had a couple of freezes but only in cut scenes, the audio was still playing but the video stopped. Not an issue for me though

Where was your resolution and draw at? 100%? Can you do me a favor and run through the little shacks and houses in little hati and tell me if your game crawls to a halt?
Um ok.... Won't be for awhile since I'm at work.... I don't think i have access to that area yet

Ok well when you make it to the second Island. Little Haiti is kinda set back some in the middle. The rundown part of town with all the gangs.

So I finally decided to root my G Flex 2. I've been talking about disabling cores for a while. Thought it may help the thermal throttling issues. Once I rooted the device I downloaded "Multicore CPU" and started disabling cores in a couple different combos. I've finally settled on disabling cores 4 and 7. Since I disabled the two cores heat has not been an issue and cores 5 and 6 are running at 2ghz. Reduced lag, and benchmarks have shot up some. Personally enjoying the lagless environment. Figured I'd post my experience with this. I'm hoping overall battery life will be better as well. Won't know for a day or two though. Oh and it stays cool while charging and in use. It used to get really hot before.
Anyone else have any experience with this?
So here are results of disabling cores and thermal throttling or lack there of now.
I also want to note that my benchmark scores were lower than the note 4 after some updates until now

My core 4 and 7 were already disabled but still very laggy... And it heats up really bad...
When do you get this overheating issues? My flex just gets warm using Chrome so i use the lg Browser now. And whats your Firmware? Still stuck in c with all Cores enabled

4 and 7 are not active unless 5 and 6 are under heavy load I believe. I've just made it so they never turn on.

Ok on YouTube mine gets a bit warm but not as hot as in Chrome (on normal sites, nothing fancy). Watched twitch in Full hd for an Hour yesterday without any heat...seems like some Apps are better optimised for the sd810 than others
Are we getting a sd808 by disabling 2 Cores?

It looks like SD810 is a peace of crap. The Flex 2 compared to my Oneplus One is like an Opel / Vauxhall Astra compared to an BMW X6.. Very disappointed..

Ok getting a lil bit off-topic here ...i am Happy with the Phone so far, way faster than my old razr i Think Updates will make this Baby Fly (even more)
So Keep us updated with your experiences as hexacore user i am very interested in the Battery life and Real Life Performance !
808 with better GPU lol

I am also coming from oneplus, I must say you are sadly right. Newer is not necessary better in this case.
I hope with some optimalization this can be a Ferrari.
I was already let down by LG a few years before, let's hope it is not the case now.

I have the AT&T version of this phone and for me cores 4,5,6 and 7 are always on except when the cpu goes above 36C then cores 4 and 7 automatically get disabled. I'm also not experiencing any lag and it's actually very smooth and fast. It also doesn't get very hot unless I run Antutu benchmark like three times in a row. What kind of CPU temperatures are you guys seeing when your phone gets hot?

You can download Cpu Temp from the play store or I also see it in kernel apps like Trickster MOD.
My galaxy S4 used to get warmer then this phone when watching Youtube or browsing in Chrome.

My phone is around 40C when playing games or browsing the Web.
With another firmware wersion I was getting temperatures around 48C. That was Killin the battery in minutes.
This is what I deal with when all 4 cores are running
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

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.

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the OnePlus 5 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Much better than the s6, s7, s8 heat machine on which you can fry eggs .
Heck, even when installing apps, update firmware or while charging the phone, it doesn't get insupportable to touch like other flagships.
Definitely the coolest phone I ever owned!! Especially comparing to my old phone Xiaomi Mi Note Pro with the Snapdragon 810 that was known to run hot lol
For me has been the reverse of some people here. My One plus 5 is heating a little bit more than my S8 Plus and my Xiaomi Mi Mix. But it's not heating up to the point that it's uncomfortable I said it's in the normal range.

I came from a vintage phone from LG G Pro with a snapdragon 600, and i can say this is alot hotter comparing to the op5. When i play clash of clans for a few mins, it heats up to 77 degrees celsius which can be a bother to battery and other components.
Here at op5 i can play the same game and cpu is just 30 degrees celsius! Measured with cooltool.
Compared to my Nexus 6p, this phone is cool as ice, my Nexus would sometimes get so hot that you couldn't touch it.
To be fair, my last phone was the LG G4. About an hour after plugging that in to my Chevy Volt's infotainment center (with Android Auto), I could pretty much cook an egg on that phone. Even with the back off, the LG G4 would overheat and report that it's recharging was temporarily halted. There's nothing like that going on, with the OnePlus 5.
My 8/128gb is overheating, especially the zone right in between the camera and the 1+ logo.
The CPU temperature is constantly around 40°c in light use over wi-fi. Is it normal? What is the right range of temperatures? Anybody experiencing this overheating in the rear zone?

Ok but the back becomes so hot that is difficult to hold it.
i have played asphalt xtreme, injustice 2, marvel future fight, close to about 30-40 mins, and frequently switching between games, and no sign of any overheating at all.
I used to own a zenfone 2, and it got real hot, not even warm.
Fantastic device for gaming, OP5!!
This is the coldest phone i ever had.
