I've had a nose for newest member of SE Walkman family, this small phone tweaked turns out to be powerful and perspective yet very affordable phone! Ice-cream sandwich officially announced, great sound, solid camera, and , and... overclockable hardware geek index 10+ No more introduction, lets get to numbers...
1. CM 7.2 ROM with its own kernel, OC-ed at max 1.6 GHZ stable, Quadrant score of 2700!!
2. Stock 4.0.2.A.0.58 ROM vanilla, Quadrant score 1800.
3. Stock 4.0.2.A.0.58 ROM with RAGE KERNEL V2 (OC open to 2.0 GHZ) on my phone goes 1.9 GHZ stable making Quadrant score of 2550 , will try tonight combining Cyanogenmod ROM and RAGE KERNEL V2, it should penetrate 3k barrier , geek's wet dream
No kernel at the moment is UV (undervolting) capable.
Software: Voltage control, tnx to xan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107468

did you tried that?
how do you get that kind of score in quadrant? I already OCed my wt19i to 1.9ghz and got only a score of 1800.. what tweaks did you applied?
Does benchmark score really matter that much to you guys? Its just numbers
Benchmarks are for people, who like to showoff.
These numbers are not important at all, the real performance is what matters.
since my galaxy mini with cm7 oc'd to 800mhz got higher score than my LWW, using quadrant advance, i quit believing those app....
sent from my Walkman
I did antutu test on CM7 on 2ghz.
Does this mean I have good CPU?

Precisely. Benchmark score if bragged publicly is just like saying "my thing is bigger than yours". Just pure pathedic.

What? People still believe on 'benchmarks'? It's numbers for bragging.
And also if you want to test the stability of your phone, there's this stress-testing tool to see if your oc/uv/uc is stable enough for normal everyday use. Click me.

Stability tests can be dangerous. When your phone can't take that much power(overclocked CPU), it might just kill itself(due to temperature).
Basically, just play a HD game on your phone and you can put fun and stability test to one.

thanks for the info.. then my way in testing my phone is right.
is there no compatibility between rom and kerner even if they are for the phone model
I have been holding on and skipping devices that were/are really appealing to me(LG Pro, Oppo, Sony Xperia Z, etc) for the Note 3.
I was going to order the Xperia Z Ultra but thankfully I convinced my self otherwise. I'm not playing many games now days nor using it heavily.
Mostly for above average media consumption, light gaming, browsing.
Also as I said I was waiting for the Note 3 since the day Note 2 was announced I decided to skip a generation.
And thankfully I decided to skip the Note 3 for the Mega. I really wanna go even bigger this time. I don't mind the mid-range performance.
And since my original Note with Asylum 4.3 now feels so incredible(it felt good with custom JB 4.1.2 too), I can only imagine the Mega will blow my mind.
I got the Note 1 at launch and I paid for it quite dearly for it back then.
And today I got my Samsung MEGA(i9200). HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I'm really in love with this device. The size, the screen, its sound quality are just... amazing!
I can't even remotely begin to explain how I feel about it. This IS really the device that ever wanted. This device in my hand(s) feels like home...
I'm using it for a couple hours now and I can tell you I wouldn't even think about trading it for a Note 3(for free yes as I could sell the Note3 and buy another Mega )
This is really my preferred size of a phone. But I can go down to 6" too if the N4 is released next year and its 5,9-6,0". The best device so far I ever owned.
I also stated that I can go up to 6" when I got my Note in previous post of mine. So I was kinda always wanted a phone this big,
Watched a few trailers, videos clip, youtube videos, listen to many songs. I can say the experience was amazing. I haven't played any games yet tho.
This phone is big. You cannot really how humongous it's unless you light up the screen. The you can understand how huge it is. But it doesn't feel THAT bigger than my Note tbh.
I think that sums things up for me. I haven't felt this excited for a phone since 21 months ago when I got my original Note. Really, really happy owner here.
P.S: I can test/check/confirm anything you guys might want. Like bugs(like dim bug), codes, camera firmware, glitches etc etc. Just let me know. :good:
Edit: I have FM Radio btw and its fully working.
Congrats! Could you run a movie on both Note and Mega and tell us what you think. I am particularly interested in comparing the brightness, and the blacks. And colors. If you could play a high bit rate action movie 720p and compare them smoothness that would be great too. Thanks!

I always compared my previous phones(when its possible to compare them anyway) to my new ones. I always test them with 1080p trailers of excellent quality.
I will do a side by side test with both devices playing various videos(big buck bunny, Sintel, Tekken Blood Vengeance, Hobbit, Avatar, Timescapes etc etc).
But I must be honest, I consider my self a true fan of the AMOLED screens and I love them and I swear by them, so I check the display differences extensively.
I always compare them side by side in:
benchmarks( doing a reboot first and then clearing RAM and closing every possible running up)
screen quality by playing same video with MX at the exact same settings on both devices and also by displaying both the same photo/image.
Camera quality by taking the exact same picture outdoors in qood sunlight conditions and tonight I will test the low light camera quality and view them on my pc.
And obviously the side by side size comparisons. lol.
And maybe a few more...

When you root make sure you flash audio mod to give you more sound headroom. It makes a diff

You will de-virginize(is that even a word) my Mega as you did with my Note...
Update on the battery life:
Its been 7 hours since the first fully charge and 32% remaining. 5 hours screen on time so far with 4h:44m WIFI on time.
Usage was(estimated unless said otherwise):
Around 30-40 Youtube videos(in HD).
Played 10-12 1080p videos I put from the PC for around maybe 20-25 minutes all total time of play time with the MX Player.
Run Antutu 4.0.1(19907) once.
Run 3DMark twice(5474).
Browsed the web with Chrome Beta for around 12 minutes as it say in the stats even tho I feel it was longer than that.
Took around 15 photos some with around 5 being with flash
Also spent a couple of minutes totally just looking at the screen. That thing is huge!

Agreed! Love it!
Update: Rooted today(from here) and updated with XXUAMH1(SILENTLIGHT Rom found here).
This AMH1 release feels and IS faster. I can swear the apps at least feels that open up faster.
In general the phone feels noticeably smoother.
Also my score in 3DMark went from 5147 to 5506. Antutu from 19500 to 20500.
And no, it felt faster all day long. I just run the synthetic test like 15min ago. So I didn't had that in mind to cause a placebo effect or anything.
Congrats koniakki on getting the mega and you are going to enjoy it, i ran Antutu on a stock rom yet, and phone is only rooted at this time and i got a score of 20662..imagine when some custom roms come out for this phone it could have a better score yet..enjoy your new phone.

Thanks for the reply starmaster and welcome to the Mega community too! My best on the Antutu 4.0.1 was around 20500! So well done! :good:
Quadrant was about 7250-7300 my best. Can't remember exactly but was about there. Bring the custom roms/kernels. Our Snappy has a lot of headroom for improvements!
Also starmaster, what I like also is when I compare that score along with the Note 2 or Xperia Z in the Rankings!
Forsure and the scores are very close to those two phones and the mega beats both of those two other phones in the 3D Graphics gaming category i see..now bring on the custom roms. :good:
Edit: I just ran Quadrant on my mega 6.3 and got a score of 8570.

Either your CPU is a racehorse or something is off!! lol!
You got 5000 points more in the CPU score and 2000 points in the I/O score! Did you apply any kind of tweaks? I'm very interested.
No.. i have no tweaks in the phone at all, it is just rooted and that is all, maybe my model i527m is a little different in ways and in the info is says 1.7 GHz cpu and it is a Qualcomm snapdragon and the Adreno 305, maybe i got lucky and got a really good phone..but everything is stock except the rooting part.
Below is a pic of my device info.
And i just re-ran Quadrant again and got even a higher score of 8664..not sure why i am getting these good scores but i like it.

No problem on that..and i hope they get a solution for your i527 mega so that you can root it as that is kinda a bummer that they locked the bootloader on that model for the AT&T version..sooner the better. :good:

Hmm. I re-run the benchmark with all the available Governors/Schedulers combination allowed via CPU Master and I cannot pass 7300 points.
Anyone else with a i9200 Mega can run Quadrant please and post their best score please?
If other members with i9200 get the same as me, maybe we can find why starmaster10 scores are so high and find a way to get that performance too! :good:

i am getting about 7200 but i don't know why he getting high score i have searched on wikipedia but i didn't find anything his device use the same cpu and gpu and same speed 1.7 and same ram maybe he can upload screenshot from cpu z app so we know more information about your device
or maybe your kernel has tweaks to boost performence or something like that
Here is a pic of my kernel version and baseband version etc, i will see if i can get more info on my device with that app or some others also. :good:
Here are some pics below from CPU Z of the SOC and System page.

I did another run with Quadrant and my score went up again to 8772...I am kinda puzzled on the scores that I am getting.
Not sure if this will make a difference for you guys/gals, do you have any anti-virus program installed as i have not installed a anti-virus program yet...and i most likely will not as i do not go to any of the dodgy sites.

Don't get us wrong starmaster10, we are really happy for you that you get that performance. I hope that yo can even get 9000! :good:
We are just trying to figure out how to get that too and see if a kernel/rom or simply the I527M version of the Mega is just faster or better optimized!
The differences are in the CPU and I/O which are 5000 and 2000 points faster respectively. I hope someone more knowledgeable can enlighten us, since it will benefit us all to make our devices even faster!
P.S: Starmaster10, if not much trouble, can you please post some scores from the latest Antutu from the Play Store? Thanks!
Hi all
I'm using G5 H850 and:
when i play MKX Mobile for a while FPS getting low - i feel big lags
Antutu score is to low in my opinion.. When i'm watching benchmarks on YT or pics in google it should be around 130k (50k 3D score) any my is around 100k (30k 3D score)
I'm not happy with it - tought SD 820 would be much better than my friends SD652 (82k score) :/
Any ideas what could I do?

The G5 is a great phone with an amazing performance ... all we need now are proper (CM based) custom roms and it'll be a phone I'll keep for years to come
Are you sure you dont have SE variant cause mine hits the 145k mark i performed an antutu test multiple time and the scores are between 138000 and 146000,
I play NFS NO LIMITS, MC5 and it's smooth as hell very fluid like a hot knife cutting through butter
Try deactivating the Game optimization
My lg g5 h860 antutu score is 74500 only
I checked two times but my lg g5 h860 antutu score is very low any my phones gaming perfomance also very bugy and lagy

This is the best the device can do. Remember it is run by more than two year old SD400 processor, and just 2200mah battery. This phone is heavily optimised for smooth operations of a very average user. It will not play power hungry games properly. If gaming was your forte, you should have looked elsewhere. Sorry.

Oh that's great. However I feel you will end up pushing the device which will result in heating and battery drain.
Btw, would you recommend buying this device? I am in the market to buy a new phone. I like HTC phones. Currently using HTC One M8 Eye as my secondary phone. I need to buy a 4G phone for primary use. I am kind of between heavy user and light user. I don't play games. I thought of buying this phone cuz it looks stylish and the prices seem to have come down. I can fetch this in india for INR8300 (USD 125). My budget is under USD150.
Hey, what AnTuTu score do you get?
I've watched few clips over youtube, people get ~365k. My tablet barely makes 310k.
Here's my score in the attached images. Any ideas what could cause that issue?
The tablet feels somehow laggish and sluggish while moving around the menus.

from sep 6, this is Korean version 256gb/LTE
Actually it's getting worse.
It just made 290k after few days of using.
However it's strange.
I got 158k at GPU like gomelkiev.
However i've got 50k CPU against 113k.
It's like some power thing, which is strange, because the tablet was on charger while doing the AnTuTu.
I can't find any performance mode toggle like on the phones.

80460
54878
I am rooted and have debloated 99 packages, so...
No other tweaks of any kind.
well, I'm using it mainly for darkness rises and it's doing fine. My worries about the low score are because at this point is not certain if it's hardware or software issue. It might be battery optimization as well as thermal issue i.e. heat sink not attached perfectly which may progress at some point.

I also reliably score around the 365K mark. FYI that essentially identical to my note 10+

Samsung's Korean devices have funky software and radios to work on their funky cellular networks. There's lots posted on XDA about issues people have had running Korean devices in the U.S. Korean and Chinese devices are generally considered no bueno as imports.
Try putting it in airplane mode with Wi-Fi enabled and running AnTuTu again. My EU LTE version arrives tomorrow and I'll test it for comparison.

I get between 440k and 450k it has to do with a program it comes with game preformance. You have to have that set on preformance. I have the 6gb version btw. I was concerned like you when I first got it, it was doing about the same as my Razer phone 2 which has a 845. Almost sent it back till I found that game preformance thing. Which also brought my 3d mark score from 4700 to 5600. That's also prolly why the guy with the rooted one gets a higher score, because that game preformance thing is removed, which lowers everything to save battery.
Just ran it again got 443259
~430k here (2 runs, pretty consistent).
Concerning the remark above, I froze quite a few things including game performance I believe so might have an influence...

Acutally, you are scoring higher than the guy that is rooted and debloated. With today's softare optimization and hardware it makes me wonder if debloating is even worth it anymore other than not wanting the crap there. Edit: I ran a test for fun and even scored higher than the rooted and debloated guy.
