Only performance MPdecision.. stock stay cold as before and the battery MPdecision keep the temperature even low.. using battery mode now as I'm away for a month.. but would like to know your report on how the performance MP working.. it seem like turn on all core on touch..
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Just uses one more core than usual, definitely hotter and I found no need for it, default mp decision is fine

Anyway i decided to go back to gpu400 my screen gets really hot with GPU 450, but my ambient is very hot since its the middle eastern summer, will go back to 450 in cooler seasons :laugh:

Anyway check my next post I found something interesting
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
So I have long reported that the default CPU ondemand CPU governor in its default setup is enough to ramp up in games, so no need to tweak or mess with the governor for gaming

This is fine for 90% of games, however I complained about few games not running as incredibly smoothly as others, mainly ironman 3, beach buggy blitz, minion rush and real racing 3

Turns out its CPU governor to blame, I tested beach buggy in performance governor and it now runs 60fps range locked smooth in medium slider, stable 30fps in full slider 1080p, ironman 3 is finally liquid locked smooth, unfortunately I no longer have minion rush and rr3 to try

So now I'm fully convinced Adreno320 is able to run all the toughest current games in the playstore at full frame rate

So its something to keep in mind, when these odd non fully smooth games appear (let's call them s600 badly optimized games), consider the CPU governor to blame, you can use setcpu profiles to auto switch to performance governor or more aggressive governor specifically for these affected games, if it gets too hot, limiting the max CPU speed can solve it

I wouldn't mind seeing Apple try and help HTC. Like the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
[One (M7) General] greenmark69:
Theoretically that would be good for Sony as they could use HTC's expertise to produce the premium products that they always promise but fail to deliver.

But I'd think Sony won't be interested. They only just extracted themselves from their involvement with Ericsson. Once burned...
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
LOL :)

In a way right about the merger, but if if if times go bad Sony can takeover (hopefully). Sony is a bigger brand than HTC.

I am not sure what you mean when you say they fail to deliver.
[One (M7) General] greenmark69:
I mean that Sony didn't quite deliver with the XZ even though they promised "the best of Sony". Not that it's a bad phone but it could have been a lot better.

I think times will go bad for HTC, eventually. They won't be able to sustain offering premium products with such pitiful margins. They won't be able to compete on price against the likes of ZTE or Huawei. They might be able to compete on performance for a while but pretty soon even the most basic phones will do everything anyone could possibly dream of doing.

I really hope that they figure a way out of this before the smartphone market becomes as commoditised as PCs.
[One (M7) General] Xerro-Five:
A Sony-HTC merger? Think about it this way though; what do we, as One/HTC users, want from recent Sony phones that is better? Waterproof maybe? I can't think of much else that would be beneficial to HTC phones as a result of shared tech... I'm not too excited about this unless the new parent company would just let them keep doing what they're doing (pretty unlikely).

my forever problem with custom kernels is that after a while an awesome kernel becomes overtaken by "experiments" with so many changes, it becomes a "mess" and soon you start chasing this elusive smoothness again

10 minutes after im back to stock kernel and i can tell you the UI is incredibly speedy and smooth, perhaps more locked smooth than those custom kernels
[One (M7) General] Pointlol:
To be fair, the latest EX (3.2) is incredibly smooth, you should give it a go.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
i understand, but like i said, there is a broken golden HTC One feature on custom kernels right now and that is HDR in low light

until we have an actual sense source im retreating back to stock

Auto Screen On Off (Smart Cover) replaces s2w for me
[One (M7) General] Pointlol:
Ah yes, I'm aware of that. Was just referring to smoothness. I can safely continue using custom kernels as I barely ever use the camera, and if I do, it won't be HDR :p

Point one is fair but I'm not sure Sony wants to break into the NA market right now. They're in recovery mode and focusing on their strong markets (home and Europe), that is the NA XZ was late because it wasn't a priority. Anyway, I think it'll be a while before they have the money to start expanding by buying companies again - too far in the future to rescue HTC IMO

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
gpu throttling on stock 2.24 kernel is pretty much redundant, with throttling disabled and in warm ambient, it hardly crosses 55c CPU anyway so I feel it'd pretty safe to disable it

more importantly power saver remains functional even after disabling it and my guess the screen off stock cap remain operational as well

besides considering the HTC one thermals I think 400mhz is a wise speed for the gpu, anything higher causes significant heat to the screen

this leaves me only one reason for custom kernels and that is s2w, thankfully smartcover apps offer a solution but far from ideal since apps are quiet buggy in landscape mode accidently turning off the screen

OT....http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=26025

Exynos 5420, based on ARM Mali™-T628 MP6 cores, boosts 3D graphic processing capabilities that are over two times greater than the Exynos 5 Octa predecessor.

so mali t628 mp6 should easily match adreno 330 performance or greater than it..
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
well what do you know, isn't it a clear admission by Samsung that the Octa silicon was a mess?

i'm pretty sure getting rid of the mammoth OCed 544MP3 has to do with the power savings

TechRadar: Samsung’s new Exynos 5 Octa processor features 20-percent power boost

Anandtech: Samsung Updates Exynos 5 Octa (5420), Switches Back to ARM GPU

This means for the 628MP6 we should expect 2x the performance of 604MP4 on the N10:

T-Rex Offscreen 13.9fps on the N10 >> 27.8fps? (vs 26fps on s800)

Egypt Offscreen 39.8fps on the N10 >> 79.6fps? (vs 68fps on s800)

so it's in range with the s800, also in range with my predictions for the iPhone 5s GPU (onscreen)

It's so good to see Android chipset makers finally racing on the GPU front , both the new Exynos and s800 are racing ahead of the new iPhone5s and iPad5 release in terms of graphics, we are no longer playing catch up :good:

but i have to say this should have been the chipset inside the sgs4... still i would go for the s800 in a blink ;)

do you guys remember how much people defended the 5410 and attacked my critic?

Why Only 2 buttons when they have space for a 3rd button ? Beats me. Can't understand some of their design decisions. They have a 3 button config on the butterfly s with boomsound but only 2 buttons on the desire 500 without boomsound.
[One (M7) General] mattman83:
It's got nothing to do with space.... There's plenty of room on the One too. Menu buttons shouldn't be needed, as soon as Samsung grow a brain and piss it off then finally lazy app devs will have to fix their apps. No multi tasking is just down to htc polling of how many average consumers actually use multitasking properly. With double tap home it's much the same as the iPhone which is the market they are chasing with the One at least.

I'm not saying I agree with what they have done, but there are good reasons for it.

Wow, a Krait 200 CPU core would be pretty darn slow on a tablet, considering the s400 uses a Krait 300 CPU and a Adreno 305.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
i meant the s4pro which is just a little less than s600, the hint is the max 1.5ghz clock
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
I'm hoping it couples the CPU with a decent GPU, as anything above a 1080p screen (which could happen) will probably start lagging a bit. A 320 would suit it perfectly. Might finally get a tablet if the price and specs are right :D
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
it will be quad krait 200 with A320, this is pretty concrete so far

dont forget thought, the A320 is slower in the s4pro version and has to do deal with 1900x1200 on the N7(2)

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Ok I have downloaded Ripetide GP 2

By default the graphics resolution slider is at full 1080p and the game has PC like advanced settings where you can customize the graphics which is Ideal for android If you ask me, all the THD graphics from the first game are now enabled for Adreno by default so everything is maxed out except shader complexity is set to low, you can set it to medium but you can't go higher, which is not surprising giving its a Tegra 4 game, also the advertised t4 realtime shadows feature is disabled for our device and can't be turned on

Now regarding performance it seems to inherit the same governor problem like other vector unit games, so if you set the governor to performance the smoothness is significantly improved, strangely enough reducing the game resolution doesn't seem to have a tangible effect on fps, this is inline with every other scaled game I have like rr3, for some reason this GPU seems to be best in native 1080p!!

Anyway you will definitely need to reduce the up threshold in ondemand governor or switch to performance to play this game best, as always using setcpu profiles is the best way to make governor switch on the fly

No doubt, optimizations and silicon tweaks can do wonders, but its still 2x Krait 200 Cores with Adreno320 so this sort of marketing hype is really becoming a trend and can not be tolerated

I'm curious to see how the a320 achieved 155fps in Egypt HD though, I'm pretty sure its a custom bench like nvidia did with the Tegra 4 scores initially

Unless they actually have four physical GPUs in there like the powervr 5xx series which would make sense out of 155fps, still the 3dmark benchs were more inline with the s600 scores than a 4x figure

Edit: Scratch that, seems its just our A320 :)
