[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
Gonna copy paste what I just posted in another thread, as it seems relevant, at least to me

I was pretty sure samsung would not nerf their own processor but now I'm sure they did. We can all claim it is for battery reasons or something, but I believe that it is so that it can be neck and neck with the snapdragon.

These screenshots were taken a few minutes ago, after I flashed a custom kernel and unrestricted the 4 big cores so they are able to hit 2.9ghz and the little ones 2.0ghz. I believe that 2.7ghz is what was running for most of the benchmarks, but it hits 2.9ghz on the CPU scaling Log.

Exynos is, in fact the second best processor on a smartphone right after the A11 and would most likely match it on geekbench (surpasses it on antutu even stock) if I could lock the frequency at 2.9ghz but minimum can only be set to 2.0ghz and so it goes up and down and there is only the stock governor to choose from and that is utter crap.

Any doubts I'll help as best as I can.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Yes we all know that just by the fact that they listed the CPU as 2.9ghz and 1.9mghz capable then lowered it when they launched the s9. I think that it's obvious they did it for powerconsumption purposes and not for performance limitation. Let your phone run and those unlocked frequencies and see how the drain is. Also, as your on elementx kernel, can you run anandtech benchmarks see if another schedule can get higher scores?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] natecglenn:
I don't understand why the benchmarks are so high regarded when those numbers can be faked. Real life testing both phones doing the same thing under the same conditions is the best test.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
Can you link me to the benchmarks you want me to run, please?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Yes sure

Pcmark work 2

Webxprt 2015 and webxprt 3
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
So, this is everything, I think. I also added the CPU usage logs.

I noticed that for atleast some of these benchmarks the CPU is not used to its fullest.

No idea how this compares to stock frequencies, but I would like to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vrda08:
Stock 9810.. it seems your is much higer..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
Well, the numbers shown on those graphs are always lower than in reality. Would be interesting if any of you guys with a s9 or s9+ to take, atleast, the work 2.0 test for comparison since even if I lower the clock ai will still be on a non stock kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Great looks like the kernel is unlocking the phones true potential. What schedulers/governor were u using?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
Unfortunately only the stock governor "schedutil" is available as far as I can tell, although in performance mode it claims to activate "interactive" but I am uncertain, since, like I said, there is no option to change to anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
That's odd then as I dont see how increasing the max frequency by 200mhz would cause such an increase in performance
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
The factor here isnt as much about the clock, it's about what clocks what.

2.7ghz 1 core

2.3ghz 2 cores

1.7ghz 4 cores.

I think that is how it is divided as stock kernel, someone correct me if I am wrong, please.

With this kernel you take out the restrictions and all 4 big cores are able to clock max 2.9ghz.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Yep that's correct
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] OxygenPT:
In a stock s9+ I get 5205 points for the Work 2.0

It really seems that the clock is being limited and that hurts the test.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
Yup, it's like 40% less speed at each core compared to custom.

The way I see it, Samsung built a Ferrari and Qualcomm built a Porsche. After taking them to the drag stip they decided it would be best to sit 1 skinny guy on the porsche and 4 fat guys on the ferrari.

Too bad for the consummers that the qualcomm deal hasn't ended yet, or we would see a revolutionary chip for android phones, neck and neck with apple.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vrda08:
Only explanation for this clock restrictions is higher power consumation.. So how is battery on custom kernels?!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badjoras:
To be honest it looks to be about that same. Down to 20% on 5 hours SOT (I was getting 5:45-6:15 from 100% to dead, stock) and it has ran several benchmarks, YouTube, etc all on performance mode all day which I have set to run at 2ghz minimum frequency on all 8 cores.

I turned off performance mode but im leaving 2.9ghz as maximum clock anyway aswell as 2.0ghz on the little cores.

Will have more data tomorrow regarding battery, although for what it has been through today it looks very promising.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwito22:
I dont post ever but just after reading this thread and looking at all the moaning and whining about battery life i had to post because my battery life seems to be awesome. Just got the Exynos S9+ and im very happy with it. Only thing that really fing bothers me is how samsung crippled the exynos... ugh

Disabled facebook, messenger, linkedin... since the only social thing i use is whatsapp... autobrightness, all on 4g and no wifi.

Edit: Pc mark work 2.0 got a score of 5720 but i forgot to take a screenshot and i uninstalled it. Dolby atmos enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Well I know this is exynos, but I sent mine back, ordered snapdragon from USA, even with customs its cheaper. Lol. Ripoff Britain. 2 days from USA to Britain with ups from amazon!

Wanted to compare USA version. Really went to town on this, not my usual Conservative use. Played Many games. Used navigation from waze which anyways dips battery fast too and a good YouTube. I've power saving on with one thing though reduced screen brightness by 10% and I think I stopped background data access

This says mm at FHD but that was only changed at the end, this was in fact qhd and about 80% on 4g. Model is sm-g965u1 usa unlocked version. The gpu is amazing compared to the exynos version. But looks like if exynos is really unleashed it will be better
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiwito22:
Even when playing games i get awesome battery life.

Im very happy with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] barankas:
Same experience here. I'm very happy with my phone.

IMHO, it still boils down to how you use the phone.

I can get 7-8 hrs SOT while reading comic books. 4-5 hrs SOT while playing games.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Exactly this. Or even watching youtube, it's scary how little battery youtube uses. Anyway reading books or articles from news apps will get u 7+ hours easily but don't expect the same when you play games
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Cristi10:
Wqhd+, 50% brightness, yes, moslty youtube and browsing(although idk why sometimes it doesnt show other apps like snapchat, whatsapp), only on wifi. Btw comparison between exynos and snapdragon

Why even my dropbox pictures are locked?

I'm just sharing my opinion, if someone don't accept it, so let's start Our discussion ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Jwrath:
I have a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 phone (version MIUI Global 9.2 Stable 9.2.1.0 NDDMIEK), I got the permission to unlock it from Xiaomi, I dowloaded Mi Unlock but it stops the procedure because "Current account is no bound to this device".

I went to developer options - Mi Unlock status but all I get is an error 86006 and something in Chinese.

From other threads it is suggested that I should flash some 8.3.1 Developer ROM, meaning that I have to double back my OS in order to unlock it.

Do I really have to do something like that? Is there another option?

And let us suppose that I do double back and it works. What next?

If I root my phone and flash 9.2 again I'll lose the root.

If I flash 9.2 first, will my phone continue to be unlocked in order to root it?

Why are they making things so complex? I know the risks about rooting a phone, just let me do it!

I'm expecting the bootloader will be anti rollback but hopefully some kind of method is found so root and custom ROMs can still be done with Oreo on the H918.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoonyRebel:
If a flashable ROM similar to the ones we got from dudeawesome are made then yes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dudeawsome:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIronMaiden:
As long as att releases Oreo. If not this version can be ported to support the other variants. If a dev is up to it. Hopefully. Then the v20 can also receive lineage 15.1

Edit: sent an email to LG inquiring about a possible att oreo software update. Basically said they had no plans in the immediate future and to contact att about it instead
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
I will port Oreo to the H910 if AT&T doesn't release it. I can't do it for other models since I don't own them. Well, I will TRY, but it is hard if you don't have a device to test on....

Not sure they, however, did say the V20 will receive the update so you could assume they mean all the variants.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dudeawsome:
Maybe they accidentally leave a loop hold in the oreo version. I mean we pay for the device why lock us in. I mean if you have the warranty it's up to you to root and lose it but if you are already out of it then they should just let you do what you want but if anything happens it just on you.

Hello,

Thank you for trying...I have done that, twice already, actually if the heat is transfer from the soc to aluminum frame faster/better, the display heats up faster and the retention effect is even more pronounced. I even try transfering heat for other parts of pcb, but the phone gets too hot on the outside so I reverted back. If a free app la SFilter can eliminate retention with an overlay, it's shameful that Lg did not do it with this major update. Geus they wanna push buying a new phone...lame.

Thanks anyway,

Have a great day

Haha, so much negativity regarding the "good" news. I don't have any further answers, just saw it on trustednews and they proclaimed it as "confirmed".

But I'm happy to hear it, sure, LG takes forever, and sure they may not do the best job, but seems like they're trying to extend their software update lifecycles, which I'm at least glad to hear about. So many people who claim, "I will never buy another LG"... but the smartphone sector is still relatively new, LG is still figuring things out, hopefully they hire the right talent and management down the road to move in the right direction, I'd be willing to give them time and another chance...they seem to get hardware "right" (more or less, though as we all know, what good is good hardware without the finely tuned software?..which is why I say they need some time..), I'm sure LG is serious enough to assess their situation and weaknesses to move forward in this segment. I'll probably skip the V40, especially since we're supposed to get Android P at some point with the V20, but I'd still consider the V50 or beyond if LG gets things right in the future.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

As far as I see LG situation they had some turd old CEO who believed that SMART phones are just some sort of radio boxes back from 1950s days, which must work from the factory but don't need to receive no updates during their lifecycle so it was the reason LG Mobile was very lazy to update even flagships and people turned their back to LG. Now that CEO died and his place took son who may be more tech savvy as far as Android concerned.

I we all hope that LG will revamp their software stock, get rid of outdated legacy phone dialer and similar apps, refresh with more modern look & feel, bring us a lag free fluid and snappy experience at last. In the days of UFS 2.1 lags are not tolerable. If LG can't understand that then Nokia will buy their mobile HQ
