probably but not necessarily, correlation does not mean causation,

each benchmark result is moreless the weighted average of few or more individual test results - now let's take Quadrant, which is (was?) heavily biased towards 3D graphics performance - how much is that representative of ROM performance under typical (non-gaming) phone usage?

PS.

Benchmarks may matter. Size matters more.

(Anyone telling otherwise is either ashamed or trying to be nice) ;)

Watch your language....... nothing wrong with arguing about results or subjective findings, but almost all opinions are subjective..... so discuss nicely or we close the thread if flaming starts up

Thanks.... oka1

One thing apple got google and its oem beats. Dont fking look at the hardware and benchmark. Look at the user experience. Not saying ios and iphone is great for the folks who like to tinker. But for a dual core 800mhz iphone4 or ipad2 it sure runs a lot smoother than a note with stock touchwiz or some other launcher. Afterall u r using ur device, ur own judgement should tell u how good the device is not some program score. And there will always room for hardware improvement, but can the software follows? How many app is actually utilizing multi core process?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yees-no:
put new Kernels you will see big different in benchmark.

From my experience testing roms + kernels I see that benchmarks really nothing

I got with Antutu benchamrk with stock rom and stock kernel about 6900 score

but it was so laggy and battery sucks. atm using Chrack´s rom extra small + speedmod v10 and its perfect no lags good battery life smooth but the benchmark sucked got like 4500. So benchmarks aren't the way to chose a rom otherwise there is no need to test and share experience with people :)

To the OP

I would like to thank you for, or rather, complete lack of contribution to the forum..

You clearly have zero engineering background or understanding of the process involved, or the real mechanisms of testing and qualifying software, of which benchmakr testing is a very small component... So if you wish to offer an opinion here, at least make it within whatever sphere of expertise you have and can contribute with.

Benchmark testing is a fabrication created by the media in lieu of actual knowledge to provide graphs and rankings to get media sales.. Whether this is CPU benchmarks, winmark or whatever, it does not related to a real user experience using real software in real life applications..

Take two ROMs, ROM A is 50% faster the speed of ROM B on benchmarks.. ROM A (your choice) crashes, force closes, does not support voice input, MMS, S-Pen or 20 other features and yet is the best ROM?

With a 20 post count and zero thanks, you are proven not to be contributing here... so I suggest you focus on that, rather than insulting the countless hours of work that folks do to attempt to bring a ROM to XDA members..

regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] imilka:
Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread, but IMO benchmarks should not be used for comparing performance between ROMs within the limits of device.

They may be used to compare different devices (it is also debatable), but not for comparing software.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geo.samuel:
Last time I ran benchmark

I lost 2% battery

Got some nos which will help me to survive the apocalypse in 2012

I have no clue wtf I am doing in this thread???

Happy benchmarking to the op!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MFZ22:
They can have a purpose though. I use benchmarks to compare my actual score against my device's baseline score or other people's scores with the same device. It gives me an idea of how optimized my phone is. If a person has their device bogged down with widgets and intrusive apps, the result will be a lower score than the device's baseline.

3DMark has baseline scores. My results say: "This is a great score for this device. What's your secret ?". My response to that would be: a custom Kit Kat ROM where I disabled 27 system apps I'll never use, a RAM optimizer called Memory Booster, and a minimal amount of widgets. I have one - which combines the news and weather into one widget.

Widgets can drag a phone down badly. I tried one widget which displays the battery stats in detail and it drained my battery 10 times faster than it would without it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I'm confused what the GSM galaxy nexus will offer over the GS II. Don't they both use the same HSPA+ / WCDMA frequencies, if you get the GSM version?

Regardless I think you will be extremely lucky if you can find a way to swap a Galaxy S II for a Galaxy Nexus. If you ever do find a way that by some miracle gets you a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a i777 straight over, do let us know.

XDA does have a marketplace forum for buying, selling, and trading.

I don't have a CDMA network to use the phone right now its just sitting there. I have verizon thus my need for a GSM phone. I know it does but with the new restrictions I cannot post or even look at the forum :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] REOGrand:
I think your confused. You cant use any GSM phone on Verizon. Unless maybe its unlocked? Verizon is CDMA. Along with Sprint. GSM can be used with ATT and T Mobile. i777 is for ATT. Unless you have the International version i9100. Then you should be able to put a T Mobile sim in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EternalPal:
Wait a second, so your saying I CAN use my i777 on verizon?its the AT&T model. I was told by AT&T that i cannot use this phone on verizon.

Edit: Nvm. So I need to purchase a verizon nexus. Ok. well I guess I still need to sale this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Yes, you need a CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. The i777 will not work on Verizon.

None of AT&T's LTE phones will work on Verizon, even if unlocked. What AT&T calls 4G that isn't LTE, their HSPA+, is also referred to as WCDMA, plus their 3G is called WCDMA, but its not CDMA like Verizon or Sprint. If that wasn't confusing enough both AT&T and Verizon use 700 MHz LTE, but they are not using the same section of the 700 range so they are not interoperable. Unlike EDGE (2G) that is interopeable on AT&T vs T-Mobile. And some regions of AT&T and T-Mobile use the same 3G frequencies, so some 3G phones have limited functionality on both GSM networks.

Basic rule of thumb, for best results get a phone specifically made for your carrier.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
With EVERYTHING android (at least here) it seems like, "Well this may or may not work for you, because everyone's device is different" "It works for me just fine!! (but then you try and doesn't work, or vica-versa)

What about the devices in the Same chain, is different enough to break software so easily, as opposed to something like.. linux desktop or windows, where almost everything that works for one person works for all.

Is it just poor quality control? do they change hardware everytime a new B* series is released?

Just my two cents and pondering.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
At least 50% of the time the person who it does not work for has done something wrong or does not have the right prerequisits on their device.

Other than that all chips are slightly different and have different faults that would not show up in normal use but here where the devices are pushed to the limit those flaws come out.

And the thing about the different devices is that asus changed the secure boot key in the B70-80's making some things not work. And the 101g has different hardware causing even further problems
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
No 2 microchips are the same. One might be able to handle higher voltage than the other, while the other might be able to handle higher frequency than the first etc etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
So from what I take it's nearly impossible to get 2 CPU chips exactly the same, plus different bootkeys and hardware plus user error = Different experience.

Where I take this from is, when on HC my tf was disasterous, never held a charge through sleep, randomly froze, rebooted, deleted things.. Etc.. When I got ICS update. Blam! Fixed everything, but everyone else seems to have had everything broken.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:

Since updating to IMM76I, there seems to be a bug affecting users that renders the spell checking completely useless when using Google Talk. The problem seems to be isolated to Google Talk, although I haven't really gotten my phone back to a usable state yet (with all my apps) after having reset my phone trying to fix this, fruitlessly.

Please, if you have already updated to IMM76I could you carry out the following reproducible steps and vote?

Step 1.

Go to Google Talk and go into a conversation (it doesn't matter whether it's a brand new one, or one that was already open).

Step 2.

Type a word that is likely to be interpreted by Android as misspelled (I used 't3st')

Step 3.

If the word is

not underlined in red

, you have the fault.

I have also made a Google Code bug entry for Android here. If you are encountering this bug, please would you star the issue and make any relevant comments.

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Was it doing that out of the box or after you added your apps to it? If you hard reset it, does it continue to do it? If yes, the device is defective. If not, it could be a specific app that might not work with Teg3 or might not be optimized for ICS.

You need to read the T&C from Amazon to figure out what your options are and they're different depending on if you bought if from Amazon direct or one of their marketplace resellers.
[HTC One X] UnixxinU:
I bought it from Amazon direct. It seems like it was at a high temperature out of the box, but it got progressively worse. Either way, after reading the T+C on their website, I'm not sure if my problem applies to it. :confused:

Amazon direct is really liberal and you shouldn't have a problem returning it or exchanging.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
You will need to be rooted. Do a backup of your phone first, just in case.

Following steps are unnecessary if you download the .zip containing the Asus buttons.

1. Download a ROM for the Asus Transformer (uses the same buttons).
2. Use an archive program to pull SystemUI.apk from the .zip file.
3. Open that file using an archive program also.
4. Navigate to SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-mdpi
5. Copy and paste the following files to a folder on your hard drive:

ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime_default.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime_pressed.png
ic_sysbar_home.png
ic_sysbar_home_land.png
ic_sysbar_menu.png
ic_sysbar_menu_land.png
ic_sysbar_recent.png
ic_sysbar_recent_land.png

1. Use ADB to pull the SystemUI.apk from your phone:

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

2. Make a backup copy of SystemUI.apk. Use WinRAR or a similar program to open the SystemUI.apk you pulled. Navigate to SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi

3. Copy and paste the .png files from the Asus Buttons.zip file into this folder. Save the archive.

4. Using ADB, push the modified SystemUI.apk:

adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb shell
su
chmod 664 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
chown 0:0 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
reboot

I have attached a .zip file with the .png files pulled from an Asus ROM.

Its a fine hairline scratch smack bang in the middle of the phone.

am I the only unlucky one to have scratched the screen? I've kept it in a case without a screen protector, but I'll have to invest in one now!!!!! arrghhhhh :mad:

Edit: I've tried to capture the scratch, but its very difficult, here is an attempt attached!
[HTC One X] Onkel kostja:
No you are not alone. i got the same somehow. First time ever on any phone. right in the middle of the screen.
[HTC One X] Wtrt:
It is not quite visible on the pic.

Glass only gets scratched by materials which are harder than glass. Keys, knifes, etc don't usually have the hardness to scratch glass (hence the uselessness of scratch tests in my opinion).

Sand however is the most common culprit (as it is all around us). You might have had some in your pocket and due to some kind of leg movement (ie sitting down) enough pressure and friction was applied to scratch the glass.

I currently am struggling to find a decent fitting screen protector, the htc screen protector and the rock screen protector (which came as a gift with a brilliant case I am writing a review about).

I haven't really heard of any decent "film" protectors. The skin protectors (zagg and skinomi) are not an option for me (I have to admit I have only tried zagg for numerous devices, and haven't tried skinomi yet. however I am certain they feel exactly the same to zagg) as they feel tacky and put too much grip on the screen. And that I detest.
