Low benchmarks on my Nexus 4

Okay, heres the deal, When I first got my Nexus I used to get benchmark scores of the range 17-18k in Antutu, but recently, since I've tried benchmarking, I've been getting scores of only 10k, on Paranoid android 3.15, PAC, and Xylon ROMs, all with the franco kernel r134. So today I decided to flash a stock, deodexed rom, my benchmarks improved, but only by about 4k, I'm getting about 14k consistently. When I checked benchmark threads people have been getting 18-19k on stock ROMs, any suggestions on how to get that kind of performance on my Nexus?

Probably not what you want to hear but my suggestion is to stop caring so much about what numbers some app spews out and just look at how well your phone performs in day-to-day usage. If I somehow managed to get a score of 20K on my HD2, that wouldn't make it a better phone in any way.

youre probably just getting heat throttled or you are doing something wrong.

True, but it's just annoying to see that it used to give better results about a month ago and now they are pretty crappy. I mean, even after overclocking to 1700 I couldn't get it to go over 12k.

It was just a little warm at the end of the test, not much, all the settings were default, and I had killed all the apps before running the test.

Try rasabear ROM.. Let the phone cool off and run it.. Should get 17+

[Q] Strange Benchmark Scores and kernel issue

Hey everyone
I ran antutu benchmark on my nexus 4 running PA v3.97 and i got a score of a little more than 16 thousand and then i install the semaphore kernel and got an embarrassing score of 14162. Whats happening? Arent these a little odd considering that a STOCK Nexus4 has a score of 20 thousand?
And another un-related thing, The carbon rom is not booting up with the matr1x kernel. the google sign comes up and no bootanimation and it stays there.
Really need your help, Thanks

If there is one thing I learnt here it would be that benchmarks are unreliable.
Make sure that kernel matches the ROMs Android version and build, it may not be even supported.

Stock doesn't score 20k

Check your CPU speed on your Antutu Detailed Score, I would say most likely it was caused by the CPU throttling if it's not 1514 (or something around that),
Custom ROM can be the culprit too, since I only get 13k-14k score with MIUI (from miuiandroid) which is pretty embarassing, that was MTK6579 level.
My stock 4.2.2 doesn't even come close to 20k score. Only 17,900 something.

Bad Benching results

Hey Guys,
ive tested my LG G2 with Stock KitKat on it with Antutu and 3DMark. The results was really OK.
31.000 points in Antutu and about 15.000 points in 3DMark.
Now im running PardusHD-Rom, by the way its an awesome Rom, runs really smooth, fast and stable.
But the Benching Results are really bad, i know that benching ist not the real, but im asking why this happens:
With the Pardus HD Rom and the integrated Kernel i get about 16000 points in Antutu and 12000 points in 3DMark.
Anyone know why this is and how it could be fixed?

The fix is to stop eating your time on benchmarks and use your device, their pointless and a waste of time

I know what you mean, and the rom & kernel works fine but there must be a reason why for example in antutu the last scene runs with 35fps with this rom & kernel, and with more then 50fps with stock?!
I dont matter the result points, i just want to test if the apps and games are working fast like stock, with same fps.
Is there maybe another way to test that?

Hey Fellas,
i fugured out what the reason for the bad results is: The governor in the Kernel.
It was set to ondemand, this is why the rom&kernel worked fine but the results in benching apps wasnt good.
Tried it with governor setting hyper and a little oc and see there,
Now i know that everything is ok with soft and hardware, now i will go and deinstall the benching software and get back to ondemand.
2 Thumbs up for the PardusHD Rom and the D... Kernel that comes with it.

Scores of our Shield Tablet in Antutu

Hello there!
I've got an idea to make a post-poll to see what scores Antutu Benchmark is giving us in the Shield Tablet on any ROM, like CM11, Stock, etc.
Mine (WiFi-only model) got 53.844 points, with the latest stock firmware (1.2.1) and Antutu Benchmark 5.1.. Also, it was set to Max. Performance mode..
I also made a video, you can check it here:
What are your best scores with the Shield Tablet?
(And sorry for my bad english lol)

Of course, I didn't mentioned it, but It'd be nice to compare scores between roms, so, if you're using a different rom than stock, like CM11, please post it, so that we know which rom has best performance

56674
Settings > SHIELD Power Control > Processor Mode: Using Max Performance
Stock 2.2.1 update, no root.

In mine with 2.2.1 rooted I got the other days around 57 thousand and something, what a pity I didn't take any screenshot :silly:
(Also on max performance)

The ROM that has the highest Antutu score, and the ROM that has the best performance could (most probably) be different. It's been proven time and time again that benchmarks mean little when it comes to real world performance.

stock and shaky kernel
Before 62000 couples times stock, shaky kernel, booster plus and battery saver,busyboox ,CPU tuner and shield in my power mode full
Right now 59326 with stock,shaky,booster plus,busybox,device control,CPU tuner,auto kill apk and shield in my power mode.

57,340
always one guy that just has to remind us that benchmarks don't necessarily mean your going to have a good experience across the board, yeah bud, we know, this is XDA, it's fun to benchmark, get over it. [rant off]
anywho, I'm stock, unlocked, and rooted with titanium to freeze apps and CWM for backups.
got a 56,593 & 57,340 Whoot!

Here's a recent one on mine. I want to hit 65k but that will likely require a GPU OC among other optimizations.

I OC'd my CPU to 2.5ghz and that's was about it. I'm running BitOsessions kernel on my stock Shield Tablet. I did another one a while ago that hit 63k but I can't find my screenshot so I'm working to get past that again.

Here's another one I did when I dropped the resolution from 1080 FHD to 720 HD.

90009 on Stock Rooted MM ROM...

I got 84071 on mine
Edit: re-did the test after installing the latest update and got 84767

About 91500 on latest antutu 6.01. Stock 6.0 rooted and debloated.

Screenshot Or it Didn't Happened

Nvidia Stock LP v5.1.1, rooted, no "performance related" modifications to speak of.
highest: 82517
average: 81842 (based on reboot then running Antutu v6.0.1 6 times in a row, scores increased on each run until the sixth)

I completely disagree with this without meaning to be rude because every person suffers from confirmation bias and "self benchmarking" is one area where it effects everybody greatly.
To the extent that people can have very different experiences on exactly the same hardware and software as a matter of routine - and no one can know that it has ocurred since it's automatic.
Benchmarks are the in fact the only way to measure objectively IME and opinion.
This is certainly not to say that anyone has a better or worse experience though as you point out, that i agree with.

G3 Geekbench Benchmark

Thought I would start a thread for the Geekbench Benchmark as I could find one. I'd be interested to see your scores as it's so varied. It used to be 899 on a stock root phone and recently I'm only getting 500 but when I switch governor to performance and close all apps I got this . Alot better then the 39000 on antutu comparing it to the other phones.
I Have used the following mods and tweaks on my D855

Interesting. What do u mean with " i switch governor to performance " how you do that?

Nice work . AFAIK Your D850 does have less app and stuff bogging it down compared to my D855 so its a good single score . Dunno how i got that Multi core score must have been a fluke.
So what mods did you use

I turn off auto sync, turn off location. Disabled at&t bloatware.

LOL what a shame ? My g3 sucks

It's not the worse I've seen remember to kill everything pretty much not needed to run. With interactive (default) governor I only get 500 on GB and 24000 on antutu so what are you running on? Just to add insult to injury I just got this in carbon with no effort

I have tested lollipop and you do get a bit better but nothing beats ASOP roms like CM and such.. I've always like them for battery and performance

I used clean master to close all apps running and clean task manager ... I started the test with 54% to ram free. ? sorry!

I never understood concrpt of thermal imitigation and stuff..it says thermal imitigation off:false , i.e. its on by default....

I've put my g3 in the freezer (don't try that at home kids I play with LN2 and Ive wrapped my g3 in Dry Ice but it's always the benchmark after the one in the cold run that is the best. My g3 cpu went down to 10C. I just run the 80c mod in the op but with temps like this I don't need it
