Hello.
After discussing the performance of my Note on this thread, it came apparent that there seems to be a relation between the color of the phone and its performance.
I know, this might sound kind of silly since both phones have the same specs, etc, but that's why I'm creating a poll to get some feedback and see if this might be the case.
Please post if your Note is performing slower than it should (as compared to reviews, opinions on forums, friend's phone, etc), and what color you have. Posting quadrant scores, although they don't offer a reliable diagnostic, would also be kind of helpful on getting a better picture.
Let me start:
Color: Carbon Blue
Retailer: AT&T
Quadrant: 2500 in average. Max so far 2800.
Performance: The phone has some lag, mostly on the home screen. Multitasking isn't as fluid as it should be considering the specs it has. Compared to my girlfriend's white Note, it is definitively slower.
Just as a reference, lag is almost non-existent in her Note, not even in the home screen. Her maximum quadrant score was 3100, with an average of 2800.
Victor
Color: Ceramic White
Quad: around 4000. Goes higher or lower depending on how many apps i have open.
Take note (see what I did there) that I'm OC'D up to 1.8

Just ran quadrant on my carbon blue and got a 3326. Phone is stock. AT&T version.
not sure...
ive rooted and flashed the only rom there is right now. overclocked to 1.8 and its 3600 if i dont overclock. its about 3200.
but, ive been reading through other threads and it seems like color may not be the issue. but seems like most are running slower (and display issues) but some arent....
i have the blue
white note
stock
definately not as snappy as my skyrocket but improved with power saving shut off
Carbon Blue
Best Buy
Quadrant: 3295
Rooted
No other tweaks
Runs smooth as butter. 0 Lag
Carbon blue...rooted with stock kernel...no OC...3 tries with a reboot between 2nd and 3rd test...3100...2700...2800...
Feels a little slow to me. Needs to be tuned up for sure. I'm hoping that Samsung is gonna iron it out with ICS. I mean android really needs to knock it out of the park with this new OS. Its time for a game changer and I think Google has delivered with this device.

I think that people are expecting too much from a stock gingerbread phone. We all came from tweaked phones that are way faster. My atrix had a 2700 quadrant stock, just over 4000 with cm7.
I hated my atrix straight out the box, it wasn't till cm7 was released that it came anywhere near my iphone4. Stock the note it miles.ahead of my atrix. Just give it some time. Hell even the HTC Aria is fast with the right rom.
Stock android in every sense blows ass compared to ios in regards to speed, the dev community is what changes that. Hate on me all you want but ios users don't ***** this much about lag and speed.

Ok, so I just ran a linpack benchmark on my Aria and got the result of 8.903. I decided to save it since that was the highest I got. I went on the greencomputing website to see the best results for the Aria and the highest one was 32.62 mflops. I wonder if that is even possible on the Aria? If so, how do I get that rom/kernel which gets my that amount of speed. the guy had a dell streak rom and was clocked to 998.4 mHz. here is the link --- http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/
just scroll down to HTC Aria/Liberty.
btw, I am running CM7 on my Aria.
Why do you want that much speed? 806 is fine. Speeds that high would toast the processor. And the phone would get hot so fast.

I know but I'm just wondering how that guy even got his phone to fully boot up at that processor speed. Also, I am wondering if his phone exploded after that. Really, How is that speed even possible? Also, if you look at other results in that list, you will see that people got it to work on 864 which is impossible for the CM7 kernel. So that really makes you wonder how...
Moved to General, since it's not a development thread.

Doesn't really make me wonder... Here's the deal, that guy (or girl) has a hobby. His hobby is seeing how high he can get linpack for android to run. To accomplish this he can go about it one of two ways.
Either he took apart his aria, overclocked the hell out of it, added additional cooling and custom built an optimized kernel for 1 purpose - running linpack for android while unstable. (it's not a phone anymore)
A more logical approach would be to run linpack in an emulator, and spoof linpack into thinking it's running on an aria.
Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion.
He must of got into that girls pants he was trying to impress by having a super overclocked aria

wow..amazing what a dedicated person
I have an Motorola Atrix (I think that it´s clear lol) in Intl Gingerbread 2.3.4 but I think that it must have an issue because my atrix with quadrant have 1945 but the average atrix has 2200-2300. How can I solve this.
P.D I have an International Atrix (mexican).
I had low quadrant scores as well when I was on stock gingerbread. Using an oc kernel I got up to 2500 but I'm now on cm7 and am getting 4000 quadrant. I think quadrant is uninformative anyways. If your phone is smooth who cares about quadrant.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G MB860 using Tapatalk
My quadrant scores can vary significantly as well. I have found this to be related to how many widgets I am running, ect. You may wish to try using set cpu and forcing the processor to run at max speed, as this can also affect your scores.
The people you are comparing scores to may be using a different rom as well.
Ultimately though, as Magnetox stated, the scores are somewhat meaningless and artificial. It's how the phone feels that matters.
Thanks I don´t know why I get that scores but I fell my phone smoother than FroYo
I just switched over to the atrix from the infuse.. I have it unlocked and rooted.. Wanting to oc but not fully understanding so I'm taking it slow lol.. But i was wondering. How does the power of the 'FIRST' dual core stack up to compared to todays dual core phones?? Is this still a good phone (Since I just got it) and will it continue to be a good phone?
With a custom kernel, most benchmarks are placing it right under or even with SGSII... not bad considering that phone comes stock with 1.5 GHz dual core.
1.2 you mean?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
here's the thing for me, though: you're installing custom kernels and doing this and that to a phone to get it to perform at max capability.
but, to me, that's slightly artificial considering that if you did the same to another phone, then that phone's benchmarks would also be increased, therefore not really providing any gain for the original device.
that's how I currently see it. is that... correct? or... am I not understanding something...?

I'm not running a OC kernel, but Faux's enhanced kernel @ 1 GHz. The main thing was getting rid of motoblur, and freeing up the ram. My benchmarks aren't as fast as the SGSII, but they aren't miles behind either.... not bad considering it's half a year older. I happen to like Nivida's technology too, but that's just a personal preference.

That's correct. Right now, though, the difference is negligible. So negligible that only benchmarks will show the real difference. Now, there's several games that will work only on the Tegra platform because the other CPUs don't have the same capabilities in the graphics department.... though it's not like everyone writes games based on these settings or even optimize other games for them.

Ahem... Optimus 2X claims the first prize
Anyway I don't have an Atrix 4G, I have an Optimus 2x, same CPU. In my opinion the Tegra seems on-par with the Galaxy S2.
I'm not sure if there is a CM7 for the Atrix, but on my Optimus it is at least 2x faster than the stock rom, benchmarks reflect that too.
SunSpider is a benchmark which basically tests various web rendering tasks and gives a total score at the end
On MIUI / 1.5GHZ the Galaxy S2 scored 1600 or so. On 1GHZ, my Tegra 2 scores 1800! A lot of it appears to be down to software though, rather than raw performance, for reference, an iPhone 4 using Safari gets 4700, an Acer Liquid Metal Black which has some sort of 800MHZ snapdragon (I think?) CPU gets 3800.
The iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 got 16,000 or some stupid figure, well below 10,000 on iOS 5 though. In short, I guess what I'm saying is it's more down to your software setup than the hardware, obviously any phone is going to run like crap on a stock rom with 100,000 facebook and twitter apps.
As by the title, I get a low score on CleanROM 3.7 based on ICS 4.0.3. My result is just 1700. I haven't found any benchmark result based on this rom but I know that stock should get at least 2400-2600.
Has anybody benchmarked on CleanROM?
Why does it matter? Bragging rights, or pissing contest?
Actually the score doesn't really matter but I've noticed a slowdown after flashing CleanROM.
Haven't noticed any lag at all.
Have you benchmarked quadrant? Also, the slowdown is more noticeable when scrolling menus and some heavy designed websites.
I don't know why people bother with Quadrant, it doesn't work correctly on dual-core phones anyway.
Actually don't really bother on it. But, as I said started to be doubtful of some lags compared to the stock rom and I used quadrant just to create an idea if this was really the case.
By the way. Ver 2.0 is optimized for multicore phones.
Quadrant is a terrible benchmark.
Use Antutu.
Tryied Antutu and got 3387. Checked a bit around and found that a score of 5000-6000 should be normal.
Ok, rerun antutu after restarting the phone and got around 6200. What really bothers me is that even after killing all task and running any benchmark, I notice that scores are usually noticeable lower than on a first run after restarting. And more important, the phone is slower. Seems like services are still running and using available resources.
I use Advanced Task Killer by the way.

Don't ever, ever, ever use task killers on anything past Froyo.
They harm the phone and do not do anything, it's all placebo that it does.
There's countless threads about it.
Delete it.
Done. Thank's for informing. Now I'm asking myself why they are still some of the most downloaded apps on the market when 90% of Android are on GB and up.
Because a friend of friend told them long ago to get it.

Imo the only benches I care about are GPU benches. Quadrant is utter garbage, remove it and do yourself a favor. Nenamark 1 / Nenamark 2 for GPU benching is nice.
well, scrosler puts fastboot in his rom, which kills all running tasks that are not core.
Myself, I'll occasional open System panel app if the phone is acting up. Very occasionally.
On cleanrom I haven't noticed any slowdows.
Need some advice...
I'm on my 2nd refurb in a week..the 1st ,the proximity sensor did not work..and now..using aokp my quadrant scores are like 2100..thats not any faster than the wife's Droid 2..that being said on orig rezound I was scoring around 3200..if any 1 can turn me onto a way of checking my 2nd core I would be plzed
System tuner from the app store. Although the second core only comes online when it's needed. You can force it online but all that will do is shorten your battery life.
Never trust benchmarks, especially when your wife's phone is different. My wife's phone has a higher score for graphics than my rezound, but that's because the Rezound has a lot more pixels to draw on account of its 720p screen

You need to be careful which app you use with the stock kernel, they can cause issues with perflock just trying to monitor the cores.
Took your 2advice..ran system tuner and turned off pre flock with from rom toolbox..my score are back 2norm..just didn't want a burned up rez that Verizon flashed and sent like the 2nd one I had
