G2 benchmark... numbers sucked!

Just flashed enoms g2 rom and I cleared up what I can, tried making it efficient.I ran some benchmark tests on quadrant standard and was kinda disappointed in the numbers. My bests score was low 1100 after that it was 850,900, 835... very basic stuff any suggestions???

If you ran the benchmark on battery power, try plugging the phone in. Sometimes the CPU will underclock itself to save power. If that doesn't work, download SetCPU (google it) and make sure that the max speed is set above 800 MHz.

On the stock G2 ROM I was getting 1600-1800... maybe it's the ROM your using

Yeah this is the typical range for a stock G2.
Those scores in the OP are so low, its almost like hes underclocking or something. Or possibly a running application using a ton of resources?

i got 2064. but i was running virtuous.

im running enom's rom and i had it underclocked at 768 and i was still able to get 1609

Umm... No... The CPU doesn't underclock to save power...

Perhaps the kernel has an undervolting profile built in and it's triggered by a < battery percentage?

What should I have my phone clocked at with enoms rom?? I dnt have much running at all I dnt understand why its so slow, I was gunna flash the latest kernal and try that... clock settings please anyone
Edit: jus tweaked my clock on spareparts. I switched cpu governor from ondemand to performance and the clock setting. I put underclock at the lowest and overclock at the max highest... benchmark test put up a 2200... I feel as if this will drain battery like crazy only time will tell... what do u think, should I drop the overclock? Is it safe at that high number???

If I run with Flippy's kernel, CM 6.1.1 Stable and OC my phone to 1.8 GHz, I can get a Quadrant score of 3037 (screenshot below). With it OC'd to 1.4 GHz (my normal OC setting) I can get around 2500.

If I'm averging 2500 I'm fine wit that my current settings are Enoms Rom
Using enoms cpu controls
Cpu governor: performance
Max frequency: 1,516,800
Min frequency 245,760
I dropped 3 percent in battery writing this message.... my main concern is battery and overworking the cpu.... I'm thinking about downloading set cpu and clocking the performance settings then set it for power save after a certain drop point........ does this sound logical?

When you set your cpu to performance it means your cpu will stay at max all the time and it never goes down which is why you are getting bad battery life.
There is no need for that.
Yes you can do that with setcpu

Maybe you tested your Samsung Galaxy s by mistake?..lol..just joking.

I score around 2500 on quadrant:
OC'd to 1.4 (normally run 1.2)

Hey! Not funny! My vibrant gets 2035 in the quadrant! But I'm going to get myself a g2 because I miss the hardware keyboard

Got me 2813 with Virtous 0.9 <---- (sense rom btw) and eVil's latest Glacier based kernel @ 1.5ghz... life is good

[Q] OC/UV Beater2v1.7 makes my phone unstable with default values, help!

Ok I need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong, or if my phone is actually faulty.
I have the latest Virtuous Affinity Rom, and installed OC/UV Beater, and I cannot seem to find a stable setting, and after using the VDD/OC reset .zip's that are supposed to reset everything to normal, I still have the issues.
I'm new to the whole OC the phone thing, can someone tell me if my voltages are far off what they should be for my phone.
ALSO could anyone supply me with their virgin (or stable working) files from their MT4G found in the sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ folder so I can double check mine?
It seems below the 537600mhz is where I'm unstable. I stress tested 3 freq at a time and went down the list, that's where I would get the issues.
My OC settings in OC/UV Beater are:
Wake Gov: ondemand
Wake Min: 122000
Wake Max: 1459200
Sleep Gov: conservative
Sleep Min: 122000
Sleep Max: 460800
VDD:

I can think of 2 things.
1) Your wake min is WAY too low. That alone could be the issue.
2) Try bumping the voltage on higher frequencies up a notch.
Asking us if your voltages are ok is asking us a question we can't answer. Always start with default voltages. If that gives you stability VERY slowly adjust your voltage down a notch at a time, allowing time and testing between each setting. Never set on boot until you're SURE it's stable.

Thanks for that. I understand what you are saying as I have been overclocking my PC for years, however, what I don't understand is why does OC/UV Beater2 seem to not be stable at all stock clocks and voltages when I stress test.
I have now gotten 1.5Ghz through 537600mhz stable, however, I cannot get 460mhz through 122mhz stable at stock volts, but it is stable with the voltage boost I have added. I'm curious to see if maybe my default voltage settings have gotten corrupted or misconfigured, that's why I am looking for someone to fill me in on the stock VDD and Freq for my cpu.
Also looking for advice as to what I have set there is normal voltage for the frequencies there?

Just looked at mine on cm 7.2. Your voltages look a little low across rhe board. Clear the data on oc/uv beater and reflash your kernel.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Awesome, when you get a chance could you give me some screen shots of your voltages or tell me how much more yours are boosted?

Well, I'm on a different ROM now, but maybe this will help you. The voltages on this kernel are pretty low.

[Q] What are the default CPU frequencies and governor?

What is the default CPU min/max frequencies and the governor being used? (on stock kernel)
My guess is that the max is 1512 and min is 384. But I'm really not sure what governor is used by default.
Anyone know?

The default minimum is 1026??? Are you sure? Why would it be set to keep running so high? I heard that it doesn't fall from 1026 to 384 easily until 5-6 seconds have passed...but if 1026 is the minimum..then, smh

Is the default I/O CFQ?

Max - 1512
Min - 384 (CPU Apps don't show it correctly)
Govenor - Ondemand
I/O - Noop

The fact that CPU apps don't show the minimum frequency properly, and the fact that it hangs on 1026 for a few seconds before dropping to 384...do you think that indicates a problem?

I don't know if the minimum is actually 1026 or not but I know for a fact that when you TOUCH the screen, it does ramp up to 1026. So that can be a explanation why battery life isn't as good in reviews.

I remember with my i9300, as soon as you touched the screen, it would ramp up to 800mhz. It has to do with project butter. It does keep everything running smooth, at the cost of battery life.

never heard such of a thing on the galaxy nexus (might of been present but no one ever mentioned it so im not sure how GN reacts to that). first time ive heard of it.
battery life has been nothing but exceptional for me on N4 and GN. didnt notice a difference between 4.1 and 4.0.x for battery life. it stayed the same or slightly gotten better.
i recommend using franco kernel though

[Q] Why does my S4 overheat so much?

I am experiencing problems with high temperatures on the phone, in stock TW but then I got CM. I set the max freq to 1000 and it still gets pretty hot (sometimes over 50 C using ondemand). I then installed KToonsez's kernel and using SmartassH3 getting the same. It got to the point where it was somewhat uncomfortable to touch the screen. How can I get the phone cooler?

Mine idles around 35-40c and when gaming gets to 50-60c. Try ktoonzconservitive governer

So 60 C is okay?

If your phone is lying on the table doing nothing, then no. But with heavy cpu activity, yes it is

Okay, thanks.
I tried the SmartassH3 gov, and all 4 cores are working, and with ktoonservative, it's usually 1 or 2, rarely 3. Which one makes the phone hottest? If more than 2 or 3 apps are running, will they all run on the same core, or will they take advantage of all 4?

turn on power saving mode.

Ktoonservative does its best to not hold back on performance when its needed, but also use as little as it needs to at the same time. Its mainly running on 1 or 2 cores because your not doing much, so its putting the other cores to sleep until a heavier task comes out that needs all 4 used. I use the ktoonservative governor on my phone, and i find its the ultimate combination of performance and power saving. When i run heavy apps, all 4 cores activate and it runs hard, and when im doing very little, theres only 1 or 2 cores active.

F4ktion kernel settings discussion

This thread is for posting and discussing ones kernel settings.

TIP 1#
To prevent random reboots, turn the the default undervolting off in options and tick set on boot (sorry can't provide screenshot right now)

Dont know if its the best way to configure it but heres mine.

This does nothing. The Random Reboot problem is a problem with the kernel itself.
If anyone have problems with F4k kernel just use stock cyanogenmod kernel.

i use fiops too cause it's improved for flash drives and i've freq from 162-810 mhz it's still smooth enough for messaging and browsing and maximum battery saving i think. i also have multi core power saving at "on" cause i think it's useful

If you're like me who likes to game n also save battery life,
Max: 1Ghz

I too switched Multicore power saving. Ran Asphalt 8 in Very low graphics (since i find special effects to be annoying) and it works smooth. Very minor stutter.
