I keep reading people achieving 2000+ on Quadrant when overclocked and Im running the rooted GB OC'd to 1.15ghz so I went and ran the test for myself and the first timei got 1600, than i ran it again and got in the 1700s, and i kept running it unitl eventually it climbed up to 2100. Is this normal or is something wrong?
Thanks

quadrant is really overrated try something like smartbench 2010, really tho any phone is only as fast as you think it is, like what does 1600 mean anyway? just a number where as other ppl getting a higher number really doesnt mean anything
its fun to play with quadrant....thats about all its worth as far as im concerned
Try smartbench 2011

Ok after bricking one phone, i got a new one and loaded voodoo and dirkks SV1200 kernal. also oc'd to 1200. everything has been perfect and had scores in the 18 or 1900s. this morning i was using my phone and noticed it was very laggy. i checked quadrant scores again and it scored in the 14's. as i ran the benchmark, i noticed it hangs on the I/O 3of4 for longer then usual. i have restarted the phone, no luck. even reflashed the kernal, no luck. I cant think of any new programs or changes to the phone. any ideas?

Well the 3rd I/O test does take the longest to complete. If you are having I/O issues this certainly would give you a fluctuating Quadrant score since so much is I/O affected especially on a voodoo'd SF. Have your other benchmarks taken a dip as well? Does the phone lag in regular use? If its just a Quadrant issue I would not overly panic. Cross check with other benches
My phone did that with voodoo too, I installed dirrks lv 1200, and when I upgraded it started acting up. I did remove the fix before I updated, did everything right, but it still lagged so I just glassed back to stock and did all the steps for remove lagfix. Still on stock kernel now but will install birdman optimized tonight.
Adrynalyne is the man BTW. Ok, as to the OP, have you reset the CPU in SetCPU after you restart your phone? If I don't, I get a score of 1400 ish too.
that would make sense as I believe it resets to 800 instead of 1200

Yes, it resets to 800. 1.2 ghz is nice, I would like to see 1.6. G2 OC'ed at 1450 I believe... Ugh, one day, one day.
No luck with OC kernels
I have tried a few, everytime I get issues. Seems like setcpu just does not play well with this phone. I get 1800 on stock voodoo .2. Don't see a need for the extra conservative 200mhz that an OC can provide. Good luck with the kernels though.
Anyways, as stated, make sure set CPU is set to 1.2 GHz and not 800 MHz which is where it defaults. I use the widgit and crank up the speed any time I'm using the phone, else, I leave it at 800 when charging / idle etc.
Also, go into System Panel (best app killer around) and do an END ALL - it will kill everything... THAN run quadrant. If your scores skyrocket, don't be alarmed. Quadrant likes to have a very clean system to run on, if you have a lot of cached or running applications, Quadrant seems to suffer, I'm assuming due to the delay between it requesting more RAM from Android and the time it takes for it to release it. Seems to make sense as to why it would slow down to me at least based on what I know about how Android handles RAM.
Just make sure to reboot your phone after to restore your normal app library of running apps.
With a 1.2 GHz overclock on jt's voodoo kernel most of us are/were getting about 1925 . I've not ran dirrk's LV kernel, the undervolting is very minimal and I'd rather error on the side of stability, YMMV.

After trying out all the 1200 and the 1250 kernels, my phone just doesnt like them while using setcpu. With Setcpu set at performance and maxed out at 1200 my phone will run for a little bit and then lock up. If I try to run a quadrant it will freeze up when the immage starts to walk up the steps to the blue room requiring a battery pull. I am currently running an 1100 kernel that is stable on my phone but would like to run 1200 or even higher as 2.2 comes out and newer kernels are released. Is anyone else having a problem running above 1100? I'm still within my 30 day window and could easly take it back and get another phone, but in reality there is nothing wrong with the one I have, I just want it to run faster (than intended) so would I be wrong in taking it back to get a new one that will run at 1200 or higher? Thanks.
You should be running in conservative mode in setcpu regardless of the kernel...should fix your problem...

Why is that? I always ran performance on my Incredible without a problem. Granted, I realize that this is a different phone/processor. Wouldn't Conservitive keep the processor from max performance?
No, it will rev up the processor when you need it. I don't know if this will stop your phone from freezing while it's being taxed hard @ 1200 though ie Quadrant
Some people can run 1250, some have to stick to stock speed. I think it's mostly luck.
I think its because of all the different hardware they put into this phone to pump it out. Ontop of that the kernel code was not complete that samsung released.

Hi, after I updated quadrant standared, im now getting 1300 - 1450. Before the update I was easily scoring 1500 - 1700. Is this happening to anyone else? Im running stock froyo
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
same here. I thought it was because I was running CM7. Seems like that it might not be the same. I am scoring about 200-300 less than normal.
Noticed this as well. Score went from what I have in my sig to 2400ish at 1.5ghz. Scores have dropped in Smartbench 2010 update also.
Hi guys,
I have been running Fresh since I first rooted my phone months and months ago. I would say, that on average, I would get high 1400s to low 1500s in quadrant with either net's or king's kernels. Lately, however, as I was finding time to update the benchmarks on my sig, I found that my quadrants are landing at about 1100s. I don't remember them being that low with net's 4.3.1 kernel and below. Anyone else having issues with his latest (4.3.2) kernels? Everything other than the low quadrants are fine; including fps2d and linpack.
Also, I tried CFS and BFS with the same results.
Any ideas?!
Thanks in advance...
Quadrant tests don't mean ****. Does your phone run OK? If it does, don't even worry about it.
Did you upgrade you Quadrant? The new one reports lower scores.

Indeed! That might be it. How come it reports lower now? Shouldn't they have adjusted the other phones listed as well then?!
I can't remember exactly, but I think they fixed something that was causing scores to be falsely reported as higher than they actually were. Not sure why they didn't adjust the scores in the graph, maybe they were unaffected by whatever was fixed?
Well, anyone else experiencing the same thing? Lower quadrants?!
unless you love stroking your ego, these scores mean nothing. as long as the phone is snappy and responsive for you, don't worry about "lower" scrores
Yep I get a lot lower scores on all roms and kernels I use.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Just tested on fresh 3.5.0.1 with stock kernel and got 1014.
I couldn't imagine a phone running any smoother than this and I have no need to overclock or tweak or anything. Easily get 16 hours on a charge with moderate use.

I understand that it isn't accurate, but it is still the most used method of comparing between and within devices. As long as the 'innacuracy' is constant across the board, what does it matter? It also, somewhats, can give you a glimpse of whether a ROM or kernel is better or worst than others. Which is what I mostly use it for. A 300-400 drop is significant IMHO and I don't feel I'm crazy for inquiring about it.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I didn't notice any change in performance on my end too. Just thought the sudden drop was weird.
Thanks!
from my experience, there's tons of things you can do to improve quad scored but do nothing in the realm of real world gains. look up data2ext for serious I/O boosts
edit: just for fun, i loaded up the same set up. overclocked and set to performance governor and i get about 1300's
Im getting kinda fustrated here... i tried CM7 and currently on Ice Glacier and im having a problem where when i try to overclock my phone (even if its not so high) it gets frozen and needs a battery pull... i know that some cpu's cant handle frequencies like 1.8ghz, but even at 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 etc. i still get it. I switched from smartass, ondemand, and other governers and still freezes... any advice? Or am i stuck with the weakest link??

have you tried flashing another kernel?...maybe another Faux kernel on low voltage or maybe try Grankin v.05 kernel

im using faux right now. ill see if i can find another one thats good to try out
thnx
i always thought that stock voltage was the more stable of the two since thats why i flashed it first when i had this issue... Anyways, tried faux low voltage and cranked it up to 1.8ghz to see how it goes. PLayed around with it so see no freezing yet. but performance was pretty much the same so i tried quadrant and see... i get an average of 1600 so thats pretty low IMO. As soon as i change to ondemand governor... it froze
back to the drawing board

well like im sure you've seen or heard...all hardware is different
so while 1.8ghz maybe slow...going down to 1.5 maybe quick and the opposite maybe true for someone elses phone...they may just totally fly at 1.8 while they grind to a halt at 1.5
so keep messing with it and see what happens...change clock speeds...change up the governors...just dont OC it to 1.8 and think the phone will magicly hit a 4100 quadrant and not have any issues
worse case...flash a different kernel and see how it acts
also on that topic...you said you were running IG...did you run the stock kernel for any length of time? did you try and OC that one?
