hey, yeah i keep doing that, out of the 779MB i can use, when i press clear memory, its on average at around 600MB without even opening heavy games or anything, and it goes down to 550MB...Its always around 75% RAM usage. :crying:

Your ram usage is normal. Apps that you use the most are preloaded so that when you open them they open up fast and speedily.
You are coming from a windows pc mindset.

antutu is a little strange i am sure its a issue with antutu because sometimes score will be around 12500 and then all of a sudden around 8000 i have seen it happen

Hi, that is good to know, i will then do other tests again and see what the results are. thank you!

Scores are affected by anything else tge system has to do such as re-open apps you just killed before the benchmark.

Put an ice cream sandwich on it and see if it runs faster!!!
Can we get an "Asshat" section setup to this forum and move some of these threads there?
Have you tried stripping one end of a extension cord and wiring it up to your device, see if you can get some more juice to it and overlock!! Also you may also consider adding a hamster + wheel for extra umph.
I know huh...I had to reply with that comment, couldn't help myself....we should have a TFP BS Thread section......would be at least a place for many laughs.

No this one is latest model it has 128 geebees. No GPS though
yes but does it come in purple? I mean metallic grey?
If you take 20+ steps away, is the text still readable?
does it have a search option? if not maybe you need more geebees xD
is it faster than the overclocked HP touchpad a fellow member put a video up comparing Prime to? we all know how fast that thing is
Hey, and its already rooted! You can access all the files!

Really wish the Mods would start deleting these pointless threads.
Come on everyone lighten up a little. Be happy! Enjoy the comedy don't take life so seriously.
BTW: I have root access right out of the box and no encrypted bootloader. The nice thing about it is I can change the Rolodex cards to any style and color I want and I still get my warranty
I agree, among all this turmoil we can use some clowning.
*coughs* so.. Handwriting recognition is great, too!
The best part is that you don't have to buy a stylus! It also works with a BIC Pen! Now that's what i called backward compatibility.

[Q] Why does my phone turn itself off at night?

I am on ICS XXLPQ rooted and since the beginning of the week, my phone has turned itself off during the night and thus my alarm doesn't go off. I've noticed some weird battery activity so I PowerDefrosted all my frozen apps to see if it fixes the issue.
I did accidentally flash a stock ICS over my Three branded one. Could this be the issue? Cos right now I'm considering a revert to GB as ICS is nothing but problems so far.
If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here's the odd activity in picture form;

well looking at your wake time it looks like your phone isn't going into sleep mode much overnight.
Check the apps list and see what app is using the most awake time.
I'm currently using a three branded ICS which I manually removed all the bloat from and my battery life is ok.
No ideas. The only thing using the most power is my display, but that's normal. Is there an app or a way to find out in more detail at all?
Cheers.
And my bloat is cleared, but only the ones I definitely know are safe.

Many people have encountered massive battery drains and random reboots on Sammy ICS.
Id suggest downgrading to GB or switching to some custom ICS rom as clearly sammy did a ver ****ty job.
If you want to moniter stuff try Ram manager pro....It keeps ur apps in control and id suggest juice defender also.
If it happens tonight I'm definitely downgrading tomorrow. I'm not impressed with ICS at all with all its teething problems. Its like going from XP to Vista.
Its weird because it only happens if the phone is left completely unattended for a few hours. During the day, there's no irregular spikes at all. That's what I cannot understand

Well you have something which awakes your phone and screen. It might be an app which tries/fails to sync, whatever. Get Better Battery Stats and see what's causing it, you're the only one who can help you.

Thats alright. I used an application called Screencast. You can find it on the playstore. There is no application that comes on the galaxy note 2 that lets you do what I just did. You use applications on the app store

Great game! But kinda hard to win. First round I killed off 99% of the world population and then they got the cure out and I got whacked! Secondly round I focus on infecting all and finally the infected the whole world but only managed to kill 1% before they got the cure out!:cyclops:

Handy hint. to successfully wipe out the human race make sure you do not upgrade any symptoms. Any symptoms that evolve you must devolve them, that way people wont know they r infected and the disease can spread undetected. once everyone is infected thats when you start evolving the symptoms!
does not work!

What do you guys make of these benchmark accusations?

There's a lot of rumors stating that the m8 is basically "cheating" benchmarks to get higher scores. Any thoughts? Personally, I don't care if they are. Everything about this phone is silky smooth and extremely responsive. It might actually be the most responsive phone I've used
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
As long as it's smooth and fast I could care less about benchmarks. Stopped running them a couple of years ago. They're useless.
I thought kit Kat made it so that doesn't happen anymore (at least on the m7 and gs4, etc)

Probably every OEM is cheating on benchmark (which I find very lame).

I don't care.
Can we use this thread to post benchmarks cause I've yet to find a thread for our ATT M8 .

This thread was zombied to post a benchmark. But since the topic has been revived: as touched upon by a previous reply, just about everyone cheats on benchmarks. That goes for any computer products (CPUs, video cards, etc.) not just for phones. If a system exists to gauge the performance of a product (and by extension, the product and manufacturers reputation); you can bet that a manufacturer is going to try to game that system.

Overheating protection.

So,what makes my games lag is thermal throttling. As soon as the phone gets 41C,CPU mhz drops to 800 mhz from 1400mhz,thus making the games lag! This haven't happened before on stock ROMs,but now it does and nothings helps. Is anyone having the same problem and can anyone help me get a rid of this issue? Is there any way to turn that limit off?
On the google play there is an app called samsung dvfs disabler. You need to download it but additionally you need to install xposed framework to make it work and must have rooted phone
Disabling touchwiz dvfs should help with your problem.

Haha,funny thing is,after weeks of searching,and the no-sleep last night,I finally found this thing,and here's your post.
Thanks for trying to help,though!
P.S Btw,still checking,as I haven't tested if it works still.
Update: Works! Happy than ever!
And remeber not to OC your phone because cpu temp raises a lot of quicker. Its a waste of time from my experience. If you are on the boeffla kernel or any other modifed you can just make some UV it can reduce temps by 1-2 celcius.

Nah,I never liked overclocking and undevolting,ever. Though I'm experienced with that and remember using my phone overclocked. Thanks to my experience,it was running fine. But then I reverted again to stock. I just don't like tweaking my phone's CPU because,I don't know why,but I like to have what I've got out of the box. I feel better with my stock 1400 mhz,even when I know 1600mhz really helps with speeds.
I'm undervolting only on AOSP ROMs to get better battery life (at least as stock) and it helps.
wow, BIG THANKS for @luq529 for finding it, and of course @AssassinGEO for letting me know about it!! finally awesome news!! and hail @wanam of course!!
