How did you score 24k in antutu ?

I am getting 21 with francos latest and PA, i tried Trinity you mentioned but i only get 20.600 when i o/c to 1.7 ( kinda sad cause i get 21 on default clocks)

which review said the phone is lagging? everything i read said something about "smooth and fast"
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
Well it would be pretty surprising if they could fully fix the performance issues of Chrome in a couple of weeks, but they could bring the performance in the non-browser benchmarks in line with the Optimus G. It's a shame that it will look bad compared to the iphone 5 and other phones in reviews because of Chrome, but at least we here know that it is not fundamental to the phone and there are better browser options.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Only engadget have claimed it lags at all, every other site, CNET, The Verge, SlashGear, Techradar etc. have said they experienced no lag even in games, and reviewers are on opposing ends on certain aspects such as loud speaker, don't read one review and jump to conclusions, all I'll say is if your not sure don't buy it, I don't care cause I can't get such a great quality phone at that price and I'm poor
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Just to make sure this is clear, Engadget said entering numbers (the dialer, calculator) was a bit laggy. They said everything else was ridiculously fluid.
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
you're right man :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Scottyfer:
The Optimus G is running ICS which has already been fixed and optimized for speed. It doesn't shock me that it would have better benchmark results than a beta version of an unreleased version of the OS. 4.2.1 will surely make the scores on par with, if not better than, the Optimus.
[Nexus 4 General] ferris2375:
I'm not buying that it's 4.2. 4.2 is hardly a big jump and performance should not take that big of a hit coming from ICS. Also dumb they didn't include the Galaxy Nexus in those benchmarks.
[Nexus 4 General] :
That's the point when most reviewers say in a week of use they didn't experience a single instance of lag even when playing games like N.O.V.A 3 and engadget says they noticed lag in dialer and skipped frames when playing games, I'll tend to believe the majority and I'll bet they're running unfinalized software since they are missing functions which should be there in their current builds
[Nexus 4 General] supersain08:
But the really question is why did Google give a buggy device to reviewers
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
It's not like it's buggy (in the sense of crashing/show stopping bugs), simply unoptimized. As for why, so reviewers can get their hands on the devices early before release. Hence why they're called "review units".

Google won't be worrying about anything, the meltdowns on XDA due to flawed benchmarks will drop dead the second we have retail units on our hands.

I'm always surprised that soo many people on XDA can read raw hardware specs, then get all panicky about software benchmarks on unfinished/early code. It's blatantly obvious the benchmark numbers aren't really representative of the devices hardware considering how the scores go alongside other devices with lesser/equal hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] yahyoh:
:good::good:

WTF Google :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Well said. The N4 has the same processing capability as the Optimus G. Once the software is refined, I bet the N4 will leave it's less attractive brother in the dust.
[Nexus 4 General] wurzelsepp3:
I don't care about the benchmarks as they can be easily improved by optimizing the software, the real concern however is the possible overheating and throttling issue, because that's an hardware issue something that can't be fixed with software updates (apart from adjusting clockspeeds, voltages).
[Nexus 4 General] ferris2375:
Ok so now we are ignoring the thermal throttling and just hoping it's software refinements. Like JB all of the sudden took a dive since ICS? I dunno
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Well my post was only posted to tackle complaints about benchmark figures. As for potential hardware defects, I personally believe more time is needed with the devices, and the retail units need checked (the assembled hardware reviewers have might not even be final).

First few weeks after release typically determine if there is any genuine manufacturing issues with hardware, and not isolated hardware flaws (normal for there to be a % of them). To be discussing if the Nexus 4 is going to have serious hardware defects right now is simply too early IMO.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Yeah, seems very odd, especially since LG has techs on-site at Google's headquarters working on this thing (who would be able to pull from LG's optimizations of the LGOG).

Weird. Very weird.
[Nexus 4 General] asdf916:
yikes. reviews are fairly disappointing, and the benchmarks even more so. i guess i'll wait for the first group of xda'ers to get their phones and do a review before i get my hands on mine.
[Nexus 4 General] TheAquanox:
Pretty dissapointing bechmarks here. Don't even match the 7 month old One X with ICS (let alone JB)
[Nexus 4 General] ferris2375:
I want this phone as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to pretend that a minor revision bump in OS is going to cause performance to plummet on similarly spec'd devices.
[Nexus 4 General] joe_sun:
Vellamo HTML5 on my bone stock VZW Gnex is 1338....

I hope ya'll are right with it being a software issue but the thermal issues are no bueno.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
a good score in what benchmark?
[Nexus 4 General] :
Hi,

Some of your Quadrant scores seems too low for me. I don't speak about the overall score but for some parts like mainly CPU / Memory and after I/O and 2D score (I know for the I/O and Quadrant, no worries :D).

I do not believe too in Quadrant (no update since a while and I/O score easily tweakable) but I admit I use it mainly for a quick bench for CPU and memory...

Here's two results with a full bench:

AOKP PUB rom (with Bionic / Krait optimizations)

_motley kernel b49

486 Mhz / 1.51 Ghz - Interactive governor (with one or two tweaks lol like go_hispeed_load) - Deadline I/O scheduler - Fsync off - CPU temp before thermal throttling set to 70°C.

The thing to see is mainly the CPU and memory score, about 11800 for the CPU and about 10 200 for the memory. when I see some scores for the same parts for about 10400 / 10 600 for the CPU and about 7000 for the memory (or sometimes less or a little more) I think it's weird. Like some users with these scores I use a rom with Bionic / Krait optimizations so I don't know why some scores are too disparate :confused: (except thermal throttling?). Why such a big difference?

Obiously the overall score suffers, but in this case it's not the overall score that I'm looking for.

Here's some benchs for CPU and memory only:

After it's like Antutu or other benchs, the overall score is to see but sometimes look at each part of the total score for to have some more ideas about your benchs.

I wonder therefore that why some have a relatively low score for CPU and memory while others have higher scores with the same type of optimizations at rom level (I mean Bionic and Krait optimizations).

And please detail a little more your settings, it's good to post some benchs but without any information it makes non sense.

At least post the CPU settings (min / max CPU freq because with some screenshots we see nothing and the max CPU freq seems very important, right? :D, governor, governor settings, etc..).

Then the combo rom / kernel, tweaks, etc...

All these results will be a little more sense with some details, because just a screenshot of a bench without any information or just with a kernel name... At least with the CPU settings...

I hope you can understand my "analysis" and my thoughts...

:)

Absolutely horrible with Bricked kernel. I wonder why it's so low. Trinity was pretty bad too. Guess I'm going back to faux's.View attachment 1830806
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
you are doing something wrong. most likely its your method of benchmarking. whats your cpu speed btw? when you benchmark, set your max and min cpu speed to the same speed, so the cpu doesnt scale up nor down. also, if benchmarking a high cpu speed, disable thermal throttle, or the throttle will lower your cpu speed without you even knowing. a stock kernel will even benchmark better than what you are showing.
[Nexus 4 General] noobOTT:
Well I flashed faux's kernel and here's what happened. Mighty pleasant surprise here.View attachment 1831013

20853 on Antutu Using CM10.1 nightly, trinity kernel, Two cores oc'ed to 1.62 GHz and the other 2 at 1.566 GHz with governor on performance and yeah that was really good.

And I also got 2300 in Geekbench!
[Nexus 4 General] michaelpryce_:
Here's another slight improvement with all 4 cores at 1.62 GHZ on CM10.1 and trinity with governors at performance and undervolted by -125
[Nexus 4 General] noobOTT:
I think somewhere between 1,7 and 1,9Ghz.
[Nexus 4 General] Tunderpimp:
Wtf is the deal the first pic is Franco kernel, second is trinity, third is Franco again. All on rasbeanjelly.

Why a drop with every test. How am I to tell which is the fastest?
[Nexus 4 General] Connor Baker:
Trinity was bench marked at a frequency step below the Franco benchmarks. I would mark the benchmark discrepancy mainly to thermal throttling.

Connor Baker
[Nexus 4 General] Tunderpimp:
So if I match, and wait for the phone to cool down I should find out which is really faster

How long should I wait between benchmarking?
[Nexus 4 General] michaelpryce_:
I usually wait until an app like kernel tuner tells me that the battery temp. is less than 34 degrees.(Throttling starts at 36)
[Nexus 4 General] sxp:

[Nexus 4 General] L1VESTRONG:
I scored on antutu 21225 with maddogin rom and motley kernel. Pretty nice!
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
throttling doesnt start at 36C, human body temp is 37C. and for benchmarks, you want the cpu temp, not battery. its the cpu that gets hot when benchmarking.
[Nexus 4 General] Tunderpimp:
A part of me wants to leave thermal throttling on, because it's on when I use my phone. I want to see what gets me the highest scores on my daily driver.

If that makes since

I use cool tools atm to check temps
[Nexus 4 General] michaelpryce_:
I will leave you with this www . youtube . com/watch?v=1XNNdJjH2ds and www . youtube . com/watch?v=abf7nPiUUE8 . The nexus 4 throttles the gpu and cpu at 37(I said 36) degrees battery temp. :p
[Nexus 4 General] Ieatnoobs:
Not too bad. All stock.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
lmao! and you believe them? i can show you a youtube vid that says that aliens brought bigfoot to our planet, will you believe that too? the fact is, the nexus 4 does not throttle at 37C, it throttles at 60C(many custom kernels raise this number even higher). 37C is human body temp, you want us to believe that simply holding on to your device for a while will cause your device to heat throttle, that human body temp is dangerous to our devices?
[Nexus 4 General] strikerdj2011:
how can i turn it higher before it throttles is there a code like there is to turn all four cores on thanks
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
to raise the thermal throttle temp, it has to be built into the kernel. but you can disable thermal throttle completely. via terminal emulator..

su(press enter)

echo N > /sys/module/msm_thermal/parameters/enabled(press enter)

N to disable it, Y to reenable it. or you can just reboot to reenable thermal throttle.
[Nexus 4 General] strikerdj2011:
thanks for your help :good:
[Nexus 4 General] michaelpryce_:
And you do realize that You holding your phone is not going to transfer all that heat to it firstly and secondly the nexus 4 shuts it self down at 60 degrees cpu temp. You should do a quick bit of research to be honest. And you should go test it yourself and look at the thermald.xml file by yourself to actually see that it is set to reduce cpu and gpu speed at 37 degrees(only one that increase this is bricked I think). But seriously search for thermal throttling on the nexus 4 and you'll see that it's an issue for this device.

[Nexus 4 General] Eric-1987:

Probably kernel optimisations, that and the fact it runs so little bloat?
[Nexus 4 General] Eric-1987:
I guess I'm just expecting a lot more from the new phones. Disappointing...
[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
You will probably find that if you run the benchmark on the newer phones in a few months, (after a few updates on their part) the scores will be higher.

They are running new android builds (for them at least) on new silicon and there hasn't been enough time yet to refine it yet.

Take consumer graphics cards for example, after a few driver updates, the frame rates you get in games are much higher than before

[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
The first few updates after major architectural changes always quite a bit for me, maybe ~20% for the first two

I know it was due to unoptimised code, but the two driver updates after tomb raider was released for nvidia gave me around a 40% increase in fps for my twin Gtx 680s, a welcome addition!
[Nexus 4 General] Eric-1987:
Sli is a completely different story... and 20% is pushing it too.
