A few months, kernel guru Andreilux discovered the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S4 was detecting the presence of certain benchmarks and raising thermal limits in order to gain an edge on those benchmarks. Ars Technica found the same behavior in the Note 3. It turns out Samsung isn't the only one playing this game, virtually all OEM's do.

In typical Anandtech like thesis fashion, they have broken down the state of android benchmark cheating in this very well written article (at least to me it was).

http://anandtech.com/show/7384/state-of-cheating-in-android-benchmarks
[One (M7) General] thesparky007:
Benchmarks have been irrelevant since gingerbread... But I think what Samsung and HTC do should be the real way to test a phones performance.. there are so many things that affect a phone's performance so testing it's max potential should be the point of a benchmark.. I don't see anything wrong with what they are doing.
[One (M7) General] jerrylzy:
IMO except Exynos version of galaxy s4 none of them is cheating. What is cheating anyway? As samsung does on 9500, users only can use 533mhz in benchmarks. That is cheating. But what about devices just switching governors and thermal limits? Like NOTE 3 or some other phones, you can definately get the SAME level of scores if you throw those phones into a freezer and switch their governors to performance. This is not cheating.

LoL. BTW, I've been reading through the comments and find that none of the replies stating NVIDIA Shield's cheating behavior are replied or commented. NVIDIA Shield COULD BE the WORST of all. It does some trick to dramatically increase the 3D performance, which is not frequency/governor related. As tested, the fan-equipted device can only reach 75% of 3D scores in Antutu X than in original Antutu, and its gpu's frequency is always 672mhz. Apparantly the "better" results come not from governor switching nor from raising thermal limits, but from other tricks to fake the scores. Also NVIDIA Shield does no better in many games than adreno 320 does. Why benchmarks much higher? LoL

i need a case for my Galaxy s4. i want very tough case for it. cause i'm butter finger. which one is good? i need a one with a rugged protection. is spigen sgp slim view a good choice? that one looks cool. and is their screen protection glass cover. i've seen ones for iphone and Galaxy s2.

and also, i heard of something called cooling film. is it safe and does it really works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dratsablive:
There are a variety of good rugged cases available, I suggest you google Galaxy S4 Durable Cases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:

Lifeproof is great. My iPhone 5 fre case is covered in dents from hitting concrete so much but phone is perfect. I assume similar for when the galaxy s4 case gets in Stock and I can order it.

There is no life proof for the S4. The closest is the Seidio case I mentioned.

It is called the Seidio Obex

That's incorrect there is it just came out it's $89.99 though. Would post a link, but just joined to post this. You can find it on the Lifeproof site. That said I really like my Otterbox Commuter.

I was just on their site yesterday, and they only had one for the S3. i will look around for it.

I am currently using the Otterbox Defender. Pretty nice case.

Well slap me around and call me Jessica! They do have one. http://www.lifeproof.com/en/galaxy-s4/?path=TopNav

I am a bit weary of it because it does not have a screen protector, so actually testing it before putting the phone in, is impossible. This may however be good for using a tempered glass protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wittyusernametaken:
That's the nuud version. The fully protected one is the fre and was in Stock at 2:30pm PST yesterday but sold out like Wildfire after they put the announcement up on fb. I'm sure they will be in Stock again soon just not sure when. Oh and the email list is useless as they aren't notifying on that at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shamelin73:
I like Otterbox brand. I am usingvthe Commuter as I dont need the bulk of the Defender. Their support is top shelf too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dustyhughes:
I'll second this... I use their active case with the holster, and have dropped my old phone (GS2) several times without issue. I also laid it in the top of my wife's acadia's hatch back near the hinge... I closed the door 4 - 5 times trying to figure out why it felt like it was not closing properly. When I went to look for my phone later, I realized where I had left it... Panicked, I went out to the car expecting the worst... I opened the door and the only problem with the phone was the case had a nice deep indentation in the "firm" plastic backing, but the phone was fine. They have a version called OBEX that is waterproof too. They do not add A LOT of bulk, but any good case will add some bulk. I had the holster break where the pin is inserted into the plastic for the clip. I took a picture and sent them an email. The sent me a new clip/holster for free!

I also had an otterbox defender back when I had an iPhone 3GS (it was a gift :o)... It was an extremely tough, but extremely bulky too.

Both cases feel good in hand. It mostly comes down to personal opinion, or which company has the color you like :)
[Xperia Z1 General] zohaib0001:
Hello everyone Today i am going to share with you my Experience regarding how to increase battery life and getting a non heat up device

What to do ?

1) Get Root access into your device

2) Install any Cpu control app into your device. for example ( SetCPU, Rom toolbox pro )

3) i set minimum frequency at on 300 MHz and Maximum frequency at 1728 MHz

4) Set the Scheduler on Row

5) Set the Governor on interactive

My tests and Results .. :D:D

1) My device is not heating up any more, and now i can continually use my device. I test my xperia z1 by using it 5 hours continually.

2) A little bit more battery life

3) This will not effect on device gaming performance because we are not underclocking the GPU. and overall device still remain fast.

Note

1) After every reboot you should check your cpu settings again because some time the settings restore on default

2) You can also change your Scheduler and Governor on different pairing and testing your device more and more

and also share your result here so all know that which pairing is giving us best result

Hit Thanks if i help you

I hope 4.4 (or 4.3 if we get it) will fix this problem.

[Xperia Z1 General] matheus_sc:
I think all new devices have this problem, in tablets have more space to dismiss heat.
[Xperia Z1 General] OfficerTux:
What is so bad about a hot device? The chips are designed to withstand those temperatures and as long as the hardware is not damaged, or I burn my fingers, I am fine with it.

I actually like that the thermal limit is so high, it means that there is less thermal throttling. This probably is the reason why our Z1 is faster at 2,15 GHz than the LG G2 at 2,3.

Well yes, battery life will take a hit, but that's the trade off for massive performance ;)

[Xperia Z1 General] raziel123:
Cpu speed

Enabling soc thermal throttle will slow down the Cpu/Gpu in gaming significantly

I've got no such over heating issues

Tried the interactive governor, you need to change the governor settings high speed freq to 1728,

Otherwise it will override and goto max frequency 2150

This thread is for all those ROOTED users who have SOLD/THROWN AWAY their HTC Salsas, NOT for advertising and putting salsas up on sale.

This helps devs keep track of active users

You can optionally tell us why you sold/threw your salsa. You might have sold/thrown away your salsa because of

HTCs lack of support.

Lack of developers.

Contract got over.

Obsolete specifications (screen size, processor and so on).

You threw it in a dustbin because it lagged.

You used it as an antique piece to renovate your house or donated it to a museum because you bricked it.

Gave it off as charity to a church/mosque/temple.

Dropped it in the toilet.

I am still using the HTC Salsa as my primary phone .Ans I am thankful to developers like u to keep the fun alive in this 2.5 years old device :) :good:

Have been using the stock ROM as all the JB ROMS are having camera , Battery & GPS issue on my device

I plan to upgrade it by December this year , and the main reason for my upgrade is 1.Most Games are not supported on this device :(

2.I need a bigger screen and more RAM ( i think the iPhone 5 Screen Best suits me ) as i mainly read ebooks on my device ( other than Whats app and calling )

3.SNS integration for me is not a BIG buying decision ,( LOL I know u would be thinking then why i bought a phone with 'f- button ' that was mainly as I am a BIG BIG HTC fan and at the time pf buying Salsa in the budget I only had HTC Wildfire as a alternative option )

crest_delta one mini is not a bad choice, look out for more. Push the threshold to 5 inches. Cause anything under 4.5 isn't too great. I got a 7 inch tab for phone calls, trust me tab is fun, if you are ready to bear with a radio set like thing to hold in hands while talking on a phone call.
