Lower Benchmarks - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hey guys.
On my S8+ I got around 173K antutu score (all scores are in antutu form now on) after i finished setting it all up and with the same apps I have now.
After this I flashed jessie's kernel which OC's the exynos to 2.45 (if im not mistaken) and got from 181K to 182K scores.
Then i flashed CARhd Rom V3 and started getting from 163k to 165k on it's stock kernel and 167K on jessie's, still OC to 2.45. I noticed some performance issues, like lags when i had two apps running on multiscreen so I went back to stock rom, flashed by ODIN.
This said, The benchmarks i got on stock were 163K and with stock rom and jessie's kernel were 167K max.
One should not trust, nor care about benchmarks all that much, but I would like to know if any of you have any idea why i'm scoring 15K lower on the same config WITH A CLEAN INSTALL WITH THE SAME APPS. First answer that came to me was some KNOX bs, but it can not be, as the 182K i got before were on a non stock kernel with knox triggered.
The difference in the scores are, roughly 11K on UX and 3K on CPU. 3D and RAM are the same.
Thank you, guys

There are many reasons why scores can vary wildly. The main culprit is usually thermal throttling.
I'm running CarHD V4 and score 170k so don't worry about it, the phone is a beast.

I do get the phone is a beast, what confuses me is how it downscores 15K points and 11 of them are on User Experience (UX) on the same phone, same software, same apps after a format =/

On this rom i got this score, with this kernel i got this score, on another rom i got this score, and with that kernel i got this score... just go back to the config that got you the highest score, what's the problem?

The problem is that he went back to the configuration that have him the best score, but it's 15k lower for some reason.

The problem is that my ability to find the problem is about the same as your ability to read a post that is as explicit as it can get...

I was being civil.

Were you doing all of this consistently? testing, flashing, testing, flashing, etc.? Because the phone could have just needed a break.

Tests on all roms were conducted with the device rested for 10 minutes with no apps running and screen off so it would cool down.
The 182k was tested 4 times in a row, on which the differences maxed at 2k. Same for test 2 (car hd rom), that was conducted 2 days after I installed the rom.
Lastly, the back to settings 1 test was conducted yesterday with the same procedure aswell.
Today I got it to top out at 178k (stock rom, jesse kernel OC) using kernel control to lock all 8 CPU at max speed (2.45 and 1.69, for big and LITTLE), with it on the regular governor it is doing 175 overclocked to the before mentioned speeds.
I don't know what happened to it, but those 162k it first got were the same as when I turned on power saving mode whilst it was able to do 182K, which is odd and the first thing i checked was if it was on, which it wasn't.
All tests were conducted with 1080p screen, RAM cleared, Excess files erased, with everything turned off except for wifi so it can submit the score.
Like I said, benchmarks are worth what they are, and I only conducted antutu testing again because I was noticing a performance deficit. 175 (It's 4k higher than an OP5) is more than fine and I notice no more lags on daily usage.
For reference, it is scoring 2147 - single-core and 6569 multi-core on geekbench 4 aswell, which, in multicore, is 150 points lower than it was when it was doing 182 on antutu.

Issues with AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502

Sorry being a new member I could not reply directly to this thread under developers but I wanted to let people know that this rom should be avoided. The default clockspeed is downgraded from 1.5ghz to 1.2ghz with this and even when overlocked back to 1.5ghz it's still not as fast as before. Linpack hardly even hits 150 now when before was around 200. Quardrant scores is also very low now, the memory and IO scores were significantly lower than before.
As for those who are having the wifi issue, i discovered that the problems started happening after the one click root. Right before I rooted this new rom i was able to connect to my wifi just fine, after the root it started having problems connecting.

What proof do you have of this? I don't see any difference in performance. I guess I'll just wait for the next update.

Wowsers! That's good to know. I haven't updated yet as I'm on Rogers, but I'll keep that in mind when a Rogers version comes around.
As for the WiFi issue, I've had it the whole time. I went 9 days before rooting, and it's been maybe 15 days since I rooted. It existed pre- and post-root for me.

I went from the full detox to 1.82 and after start up i ran both quadrant and antutu benchmarks. I noticed that quadrant score was only 4k when it used to be 4.5k. antutu was also lower and thats when I noticed the clock speed being listed at 1243 mhz (something around there). I downloaded the antutu cpu master free and it allowed me to move the slider back up to 1512 mhz.
Only sharing what I expierenced, now i'm trying to go back to 1.73 and having trouble...seems like it doesn't want me to move back down.

Ok, im curious, what program is reporting to you that your clockspeed is 1.2? Im not doubting what you are saying....at least not completely. I ask because when i was researching the phone before it was released on ATT, i was reading reviews and reports of people benchmarking the ATT demo phones and how the clock speed was 1.2 compared to the 1.5 of the tegra 3. So, im curious if its maybe just that the actual app you are using is reporting it wrong OR, if this is even possible, that maybe there is a different kernel with the clock set differently that somehow slipped through the cracks.
I have done the update already, and all my benchmarks are almost identical to what they were before and my clock speed is still 1512 as it was before.
As far as the wifi issue, most people were reporting that issue before root was even possible on this phone so to point there as being the culprit cant be right.

Antutu benchmark listed it at 1.2ghz. Previously it was at 1.5ghz on 1.73. I was stupid and tried to run full detox after the upgrade and root and got some kind of error saying memory full. Now the phone is soft bricked. I just tried the stock 1.73 RUU and its giving me a boot 140 error saying bootloader mismatch.
Any ideas?

Im guessing that like the only other HTC phone ive owned, downgrading wont happen without s-off. So the only thing i can suggest is to instead try going back to 1.82 and get the phone functional so at least its not a brick and if its still showing an incorrect clock speed maybe you can get an exchange.

Yea you can't go back down.Have to wait for the official ota and see if its any different.
My phone runs much smoother with the new update...almost like a different phone. I could care less what the benchmarks say...I'm a real world guy.

I was lucking, using the 1.82 RUU again I reflashed it and now the phone is back up and running. Running antutu I see the clock speed is now defaulted to 1.5ghz again.
I really don't know what screwed up with my clockspeed before, but hopefully this will work nicely now.
1.73 here...
5,013 -- Quadrant Standard
So perhaps something is just wrong with you're phone. Also, I thought you couldn't modify your clock speed without unlocked bootloader + root/s-off or whatever. I know the basics, Just not the full technical explanation of it all. Sounds to me like you have a problem though from the beginning to have <5K of a quadrant score.
Just removed everything I dont need. De-oxed and removed bloatware + added a couple games. Cleared "multi-tasker" and used task manager [not the stock] widget to free up memory... Which made it go to 4,760. So doing all this stuff to "help" somewhat backfired. Im wondering if its the task manager widget/app always running :b Idk. Point is, I think its your phone. Even if i'm not at 1.8~.

good to know. and FYI, though it's not my forte, i was reading either the "Update 1.82" thread or the thread with the title named the same as the 1.82 patch (can't recall which one) and I remember someone mentioning that to roll back to 1.72 after upgrading, you need to edit a certain .apk file, which, if done improperly, will totally brick the device. glad you were able to get 1.82 to run properly. I've decided to wait for the full OTA from ATT since my wi-fi issues are generally minimal.
Scores are lower on the 1.82 but same clockspeed I'm fairly certain. Dont know why. Quadrant drops about 500 points. Still seems faster.

The IO score is lower now. Can't wait until Franco or someone else releases some kernels that will really make this phone rock. I had a galaxy nexus before with the stock rom but running Franco latest kernel that boosted the Quadrant score from 2200 to 3600. Mostly it was due to enhancements that dramaticlly increased memory and IO performance.
I installed the leaked update and my wifi still doesn't work right. It is extremely slow and crashes my entire network and brings it to its knees. Wifi will not work on a single device when my one x is connected to my wifi network. Ideas? Has anyone else experience this?
I hadn't thought of this being the cause but I have noticed that my wifi at home, specially when watching netflix is way slow. I always have my wifi on my HOX turned on when at home. I'm on 1.82 and running Clean ROM 2.3. Are you saying that this could be causing my slowness on all my devices that are also hooked into my wifi at home?

[Q] Why are my quadrant scores low?

Okay so, my tf700 is running CleanRom 2.5.5 Inheritance with the over clocked kernal
and i keep getting scores around 6000 and under
while in performance mode
am i doing something wrong

No idea. Have you tried taking a TBU and (maybe even clean) install 2.6 and 2.6.1 (patch over 2.6)?
PS: what mods did you choose? And how much did you manage to get when in Performance Mode?
Low score... it used to be pretty damn high for the TF700T... times change, I guess
Don't let the benchmarks bother you, tbh.

Where do you want to be with benchmarks?
Are you wanting high numbers or are you good with smooth stable UE?
its well documented, quadrant can be fooled, you can have a custom rom thats built specifically for quadrant and it will bench much higher than other roms but in real use its much slower. Go for smooth and stable. Basically, just use your tablet and if you like where its at dont complain, quadrant is just a number, theres no FEELING behind it. Higher number does not always mean better experience.
6200 with force GPU rendering on is great! How does it feel to use?
Thanks for the responses guys
I was thinking if i wipe it completely and do a clean install it would be better, sounds like a good idea anyway
i was comparing my scores to what everyone else was saying and what it showed in the thread for that rom
i always ran quadrant in performance mode and made sure i had more than 400mb free of ram
i stayed with some default setting on the DPI and launcher, but i chose clemsyns kernal with the GPU at 700
and i left fsync enabled
Some people said it hit 7000
if it doesn't matter i wont worry about it
but i will say my tablet is much quicker then before, i have a few hiccups that i believe are caused by some apps
is it possible that apps in the background can cause the low scores?

[Q] How do I raise CPU float score in Antutu?

Hello, I'm a very very minor script kiddie that came from Samsung Galaxy W.
I changed my phone to this baby earlier today.
I am using ARHD, with custom Faux kernel.
But it seems that I can never make CPU Float Score ever reach above 1k and in posts I see there are people with 2k+.
Any one can help me out a little?
I even tried overclocking but it just wont get any higher.
If you are okay, share your Antutu score too!

To keep Andrei from going crazy with non-development related questions, I've opened the following thread. That way we keep the development thread for development topics and this for general discussion.
Good deal.
First feature request: Fading in/out LEDs! I've pinged the dev for LightFlow, and while he can implement it on a software level, it would be supremely inefficient and probably drain the battery like crazy.

Actually that's something which belongs in the dev thread. If anything you can just post on the issue tracker on Github, I've grown vary of XDA.
There's a new TI LED controller so I can't port the old Philips controls from the old phones. I'll rewrite it eventually but I got other things to do now.

just got my s4 one day ago. rooted immediately, flashed omega7.0 and the latest perseus. did not touch anything on the u/v in stweak. no o/c as well. but the antutu score is so low 21000+, i thought it at least supposed to be 27000+?
i tried adam kernel, had the same result. is that normal? did i miss anything?

thanks for you response. as i mentioned i got it only one day, without touching anything on u/v & o/c. i guess this is considered lower score than the stock one? i merely care about bench mark, i just want to know is this normal? or i need few days to let it settle down? fyi, i tried more than 10 times and it only score between 20k-21k. perhaps you can be kind enough to give me some idea rather than congrats me.

It is normal for benchmark to be lower than on stock kernel all devices differ. Following the development of this kernel it has been stated that the kernel is not intended for high benchmarks but more for overall stability, smoothness and better battery life.
Benchmarks is just a number and a high benchmark does not always mean your phone is smooth and performs very well under normal user conditions.
Hope this answers your question and should I be mistaken about anything anyone welcome to rectify me on those points.

i never meant that perseus is running low on benchmark, in fact, it's the highest between chainfire's cfroot, wanam's adam. i tried all these 3 kernel, all score only between 19k-21k. i just wonder if i have accidentally limited my cpu speed? i will do a factory reset and re-test it.
again, i dont or merely care about benchmark, i just care if my s4 is running normally.

The first throttling speed is 1400MHz and that's why it spends a lot of time there during benchmarking.
Effectively, overclocking on this device makes very little sense unless you can achieve more thermal headroom with undervolting. I personally couldn't get over 1.8GHz on random loads, and couldn't get over 1.7GHz on benchmarking (Antutu 31300).
Nevertheless, the option is there for people who want to stick their phones into their freezers. For everybody else, stop being concerned about numbers.
This seems to affect only a rare number of people and I still don't know the cause. Just cycle the screen once and be done with it.

@Power, What rom are you running? I suspect it's rom related.
I'm using omega 7, one of the user experienced the same as mine. Going to flash new rom.

Then reboot. Your camera should be working.

Low benchmark scores after franco kernel r33

i used to get around 32k in antutu and around 18k in quadrant before franco kernel r33 but now i am getting around 24k and 11k respectively i highlt doubt this is due to kernel (i didnt screw up anything (no custom roms nothing...)) can some confirm this ?? plzz
Why does it matter? Does the phone still run good? Can you notice any difference while using your phone normally?

in practical sense the phone works perfect apps run smoothly and battery life is awesome (5-6hrs)...but theoritical sense why did the scores become less ?? did franco limit the processor speed or something??

This bit is the only thing you should be caring about...
The 'score' is meaningless. Let it go, uninstall any benchmark apps and don't bother running a test ever again.
Put it this way...if you suddenly scored 234069823987693827469823764 after flashing a new kernel, but performance and battery actually got worse, which one would you prefer?

Hi,
Franciso explained that he had decreased the CPU temp limit before thermal throttling, that could explain your lower score (earlier thermal throttle)... Check also your max CPU freq.
Let cool down your phone before you run Antutu and see, or play with the thermal settings (raise a bit the CPU temp before thermal throttling, core also).
The user is in its right to know why he have a lower score in benches between two different version of a kernel, whatever if a bench is useful or useless... Obviously if all is smooth and run perfectly for you, it's the principal.
nexus 5 is high end device, benchmark score doesn't effect the performance of device using any kernel.
i never experience any lag on my nexus, i always get different score in antutu.
r32 I got around 32k with antutu now I get around 29k on r33 but battery life is so incredible I'm willing to sacrifice benchmark points useless in day to day use .... isn't benchmarking moslty about bragging?
thank you very much
