Quadrant score

I just did the lag fix mentioned here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/one-click-lag-fix-for-galaxy-s-i9000/
on my captivate and got a score of 2185... It's my 1st time benchmarking the phone. Is that a good score?

yeah but did your actual perfomance change?

I got 2190 on a reboot after I manually did the fix. Still have all the AT&T stuff, root and side loaded but other than that stock.
The phone does feel a little faster, its not twice as fast as it was but scrolling around and launching programs does seem faster. Placebo effect? Maybe.

Nice
I tried it as well and I can say I have definitely noticed the speed bump. Well worth the three minutes it took me to read and install.

It doesn't really feel that much quicker, more like smoother since the lag is pretty much gone.

yeah it changes all right. things load much faster. webpages, apps etc... you will be amazed

I ran the fix too. The phone finally feels high end. Every app is now responsive. Xda app flies now. The market loads the"downloads" tab in 1 second instead of 7 dolphin is as fast as the stock browser. It's really great.
That said, the quadrant score is bogus. The lag fix sets up a loopback for io writes so quadrant produces a completely bogus and inflated ui score.

Sluggish and freezing... anyone else have these issues?

I picked up my phone yesterday and notice the bleed on three corners and along the top but not really a deal breaker. It's performance has me concerned though. It's often very sluggish, even updating apps from the market hangs it up and many fail. I've rebooted more times in the last 24 hours than I have in a month with my MyTouch 4g.
The performance is far from what I expected and it's not the powerhouse I wanted. Is it just my phone?
I even factory restored it just to make sure.

My phone has decent battery and besides a slight stutter when market installs a program, I've had no performance issues.
Guess its your phone.

I was also unhappy with the speed. It was better than my nexus one, but not as fast as I'd hope. Anyway, read the thread I pasted below. It drastically improved the speed and smoothness of my phone. Hope it helps.

Search for the best battery saving OS

Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!

I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad

I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?

i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.

androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same

IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S4G using tapatalk2

There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.

MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.

Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.

Clemsyn 1.9 Ghz Kernel - Cold booting in 30s, insane benchmark, no downsides

Delete

lucius.zen said:
This is not for the faint of heart.....
I flashed Clemsyns 1.9 Ghz kernel this morning and it has cut boot times down by about 15s, I am able to cold boot in less than 30s. I know this kernel isnt working for everyone, however, just thought Id mention it is working very well for me so far. Didnt need it for lag as that was gone with the 1.5-1.8 kernel, but it is worth it for the boot improvement, which was my only gripe with this device. In a truly mobile productivity device boot times SHOULD be less than 30s.
Will report later today after more stress tests and temperature checks.
Oh ya, I am running CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4, fsync disabled, scroll cache disabled, and force GPU rendering.
Cant wait to see how this flies after Data2SD Mod (cant apply until i get back home to Halifax - East coast represent)
Best of luck

Just finished stressing the machine quite hard, everything is stable so far, temperature hasnt gone up at all either
Just thought id mention.....
GOT A SCORE OF 7524 IN QUADRANT.....BEAST MOOOOOODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUUUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! I VILL TAKE OVER ZE VOOOOOORLD

LOL okay let's see how much this drains on your battery!
Preferably show battery screenshots instead of just words

Good call, I forgot that most ppl would be interested in the battery drain.
I was fully charged before flashing new kernel, I have used for over 4 hrs, been doing heavy browsing, stress tests, and benchmark tests....all in performance mode.....im at 67% dock, 76% tablet...I keep screen brightness around 20%-25%. Havent noticed any more drain than usual.
Ran a benchmark test in balanced mode and got the same results as I used to get with 1.5-1.8 Ghz/700 GPU kernel....if you are worried about stressing your system leave it in balanced and switch to performance mode when needed.

Troo that overclock to 1.9 is a battery killer.
Have to say I didn't stay on it very long

That sucks I havent seen much of a battery hit at all. For the past 2 hrs ive left it in balanced mode and there is no diff b/w 1.5-1.8 kernel at 1450mV. I didnt use the 1400 mV kernel for very long bc i didnt notice any battery improvement, maybe the 1400 mV kernel is much better, are you using 1400 mV kernel?
Ive been using my tab for 5 hrs in performance and 2 hrs in balanced and im still at 33% dock and 87% tablet. Thats essentially the same as it used to be, should get at least get a full day of heavy use, especially considering I have been running stress tests, benchmarks, and repeated cold boots to make sure its up to snuff.
The screen and wifi are the biggest battery consumers, overclocking from 1.5-1.8 to 1.9 shouldnt hit battery too much.

maybe
maybe the 1.9 isnt kicking in, maybe try playing some shadowgun or something to see ur battery time,

I dont have any games. Games are cool, I just dont play them, and will never put a game on my tablet lol. I really cant say how battery would be affected by this kernel when gaming.
You might be wondering why I even bother with this kernel if I do not game. Well, my good sir, I happen to be a performance junkie, and cant stand lag of any sort lol. Multitasking is what i focus on, this tab has replaced all my other devices, and am happy to say my workflow is smoother and faster.

From my personal use I think the kernal rocks! I have used it before and just went to it again recently. The only reason I switched was because the Rom I used didnt have the option to install that Kernal and I was too lazy to flash it again. On a regular everyday use I keep it in balanced mode and really dont see a hit in battery. I personally only saw a little bit of battery drain in gaming however in the graphic and CPU heavy games there was battery drain anyways. I can deal with plugging it in more to get more performance out of my tab. I am one of those people that has 5 home screens, ones dedicated to all of my games and its fully filled with 6 different folders each containing atleast 10 more games. This would definitely slow down my tablet however with this Kernal its different. I also get around the same results in quadrant 7436 to be exact.I do see a temp increase but its not too large so I can deal with it.
Over all I think its the best Kernal out right now hands down.

Just curious - why do you even power-off your device to begin with? Normally, "mobile devices" are meant to be on always-on anyway, so I just don't see why the cold-boot time is such a big deal. The device goes into a deep-sleep state when in standby with very little power drain, which pretty much eliminates the need to constantly power off and back on the begin with.
Do you really completely power-off your device on a regular basis?
Again, just curious - obviously, that's completely up to you...
Personally, I only reboot my TF700 when flashing kernels and/or ROM's - otherwise it's always on. That way you never have to wait for it to boot!

I don't think the boot time has nothing to do with 1.8 or 1.9 kernel, my cold boot is about 22 sec. They should be about the same depended on how many app services you have running on your device.

I cold boot all the friggin time lol just my personal preference. It feels snappier after cold boot and I am constantly deleting stuff and trying new things/setups/setting configurations to eek out more performance, after each change I cold boot to get an accurate assessment of the changes that I have made. Lately ive been spending several hours a day trying to improve tab, which has meant a lot of cold boots. For the past few weeks ive spent more time optimizing and assessing this tab than acually using it, kind of nuts, i know lol, but i really enjot it and im off school right now and my hometown is in the middle of nowhere, less than 100 ppl live in my town lol. I normally shut down before bed, and do another cold boot after I finish classes around 7, boot time matters to me.
Oh and I will not charge this thing if it is on, I figure that draining the battery (no matter how little) while charging cant be good for its life long term.

I honestly dont know if it should or shouldnt, all i know is that i was booting in about 40s-45s before flashing 1.9 kernel, now i boot in 30s, Ive seen results by doing this. I time my boot times with stopwatch on my phone, i monitor everything going on in this tablet very heavily. Every time i change anything i like to be able to assess its overall impact on performance.

Overall speed

Would you say that the Huawei Nexus 6P is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Huawei Nexus 6P exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Nice info , it used for me .

I don't get it

I don't get it either, but I will say this phone is one of the fastest I've ever used in day to day usage. I came from a Galaxy S6 128gb and this device is a constant smooth experience. Jank and constant app reloads is what killed the S6 for me.
Hangouts is responsive and smooth... I think that says it all.

Faster than the OnePlus2, which has the same processor and more RAM... Not near as laggy.

No lags, no hiccups, just pure unadulterated speed.

What do you mean - Justin Bieber

fast for me. faster than the tears when watchin a nicholas sparks movie.

This phone flies.
Granted im coming from a galaxy S3, but still, this phone is awesome

Yeah I've had absolutely 0 times where this phone has hung/frozen/janked/Etc.
Think that's all I need to say really. Also, multitasking works great and apps don't constantly have to refresh. Benchmarks are completely pointless and it amazes me that people still think they're important on smartphones. Especially when the Samsung phones all blow this out the water with their crazy antutu scores, yet people still claim this phone is faster and less often freezes up or hangs.

It is very fast, it does clock down when hot, but that is a good thing.

In normal usage the heat is low and the phone flies but even only somewhat intensive games definitely heat up the phone faster and the framerate suffers.

the phone feels fast as hell after it boots up, but after awhile when you start opening up a bunch of stuff and its still in ur task manager.. things start slowing down a lot

WHAT !?! - Lil John

The phone is fast, but it is not without some issues.
In particular, I have some bluetooth issues - the phone randomly disconnects from my car's BT, and only a reboot would fix it.
I used Nexus 5, Moto X 2nd gen, and Moto X Pure previously in the same car, and had no issues.
Hoping it is software related, and the "fix" is on the way.
BTW, tried two Nexus 6P's and the same results with BT

My first Nexus phone and I might never switch from the Nexus line going forward. I've had it for almost a month now (received mine Oct 27th) and I still haven't had one hiccup or stutter. This phone is a champ and prob the most consistent performing phone I've had to date..

can't get any faster currently

Nothing to add, fastest device I had so far. Very snappy, no lags.

Boot and shutdown is a little slower than others, say GS6, but everything else is perfect. Doesnt skip a beat.
First phone that didnt stutter when you swipe left to Google now in the launcher (just checked it out before I switched to Nova, lol).

fast enough for me
