I just got my SGS2 today and was so eager I had it rooted within 2 hours of it being placed in my hands. I was messing around in quadrant and clicked System Information..I scrolled to the CPU section and by Cores it says 1..but my friends sgs2 says 2 cores. He has the Sprint model.
Now why does it say I only have 1 core when this phone has 2?

Because sometimes depending on the service providor some details
shown are not as specific as with other service providors.
Now if your friend was on AT&T like you you noticed
this difference then it would be a different matter.
Depends on your current frequency... when mine is 500MHz or higher, Quadrant returns 2 cores... when running low frequencies, it will return value of 1 core. If you load up a few apps, then jump over to Quadrant, it will most likely show 2 cores as your CPU frequency will be higher.

The exynos cores on our phones run asynchronous - when not needed one of the cores will power down, and as soon as it is needed it will ramp up. so just as the poster above posted when the first processor throttles down the second will shut off to save power, there is no need for two processors running using battery when demand for them is low.

Not exactly depending on frequency... I don't remember the exact hotplugging heuristic.
But in general - The second core is shut off by default and only gets powered on when under load.
Note that some dual-core phones (like Atrix) always show two cores because they are unable to fully remove the second core from a system and completely shut it down to save power. (Well, I assume the Atrix - I know the Tegra in my Tab 10.1 can't hotplug the second core out/in.)
i was messing aroud with voltage control and cpu spy and i noticed that the cpu speed was only topping out at like 1ghz these phones come with dual core 1.5 ghz correct? mine has never seen that high of a speed is there a reason or am i missing something? on my s2 it had a 1.2 dual core cpu i believe and it said how long each speed had seen action and i even bumped it up to like 1.4. im nervous to mess around with the speed if its already 1.5 i was just gonna set it to like 1.6 or something.but it seems mine is running each core at just 1ghz can anyone lend me some light on this.
You have Power Saving ON , that limits max cpu speed.
ahh thank you so much another question on spu spy it says unused cpu stats im guessing is 1.1 and 1.2 is there a reason they are unused? also just a guess but looks like i cant go any higher than 1.5 with voltage control? is there another app that lets me bump it up to like 1.6? or 1.7?
Don't worry about it , cpuspy doesn't have full history of your cpu activity, cpu clocks up and down depending on load.
CpuSpy is not very reliable from my experience.
You need to flash a different kernel that will allow you to over clock the cpu. Voltage control will allow you to do this but you need a kernel that will let you over clock first.

Hi all.
This is my first post here so forgive me if I've put it in the wrong forum.
I recently (6 days ago) bought a new phone, Ezio i95.
It looks like Samsung Galaxy S3/S4.
The specs are:
Quad core 1,8 GHz
2 GB RAM
Dual Sim
5" Super AMOLED screen (1920x1080), 440 ppi
But... In Antutu benchmark system info it correctly says that it is 1,8 GHz CPU (1741 MHz, to be precise). But, when I do the test, it sees only 1,2 GHz. When I try any app that does cpu scaling or any other cpu work, it also sees 1,2 GHz.
I searched for it on the net, but I didn't find anything conclusive. Actually, it seems that the CPU clock is really 1,2 GHz, but I don't know why and how do they sell it as 1,8. And how the hell Antutu sees it as 1,8?!?!?!
Here are screenshots:
h ttp://imageshack. us/f/9/kocl.png/

And here is from mediatek wiki:
MT6589[a] Cortex A7 (ARMv7) 28 nm 1.2*GHz quad-core PowerVR SGX544 @ 286*MHz
Any Ideas?!
Thanks in advance.
System won't let me to post a link, because I'm new, so I tried this workaround. Hope you don't mind. I've put two spaces.

I am not familiar with the device or the ROM you are using (stock?). But if you install cpuspy it will tell you all the freqs that are allowed and how much time your cpu spends at each freq. My guess is that the freq table goes up to 1.8GHz but that somewhere the maxfreq is set to 1.2 GHz. You might be able to up the maxfreq using an app like setcpu. The cpu you have is rated to 1.2 GHz so any overclocking you do comes with the risk that you will damage your phone. Basically if the cpu is getting hot....better back off the overclocking.

Every app I tried, including SetCPU and CpuSpy, shows 1,2 GHz as max frequency. As you can see on screenshots, Antutu benchmark shows in system info 1,8 GHz (1741 MHz actually), but in test it uses 1,2 GHz. TBH, the only place I saw 1,8 GHz was in Antutu, not anywhere else.
I contacted the seller, and he is trying to convince me that the phone has CPU Booster and that frequency is really 1,8 GHz. I now sent him screenshots in order to convince him that he is wrong...
I researched that cpu, mt5689 and its max freq is 1,2. mt5689T is 1,5 GHz, but this one is without T.
Kernel version is 3.4.5, from 19th June this year
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P4, 2013/05/04
Android version is 4.2.3
I found some info about ROM: 06_v89_hydy_dangdang_gemi

If that anything means to you...
I am not trying to overclock my phone, I just want to be able to use what I've payed for. I could have bought 1,2 GHz, but I payed for this one and I want to use it, that's the poing...
Unfortunately, only after I bought it, I found all this. I didn't inform myself enough, before purchasing...
Thanks anyway
The seller is still trying to convince me that the max cpu freq is 1,8 GHz, with cpu booster, but I still cannot see or use it in any app, except that Antutu benchmark sees the 1,8 GHz as max, but still uses 1,2 GHz.
Chipset and cpu is rated to 1,2 GHz, as I saw on mt6589 reviews, so I think that I am fooled...
Good morning, my name is Jorge Martinez, I am another ezio buyer i95, I arrived with several flaws, the most serious the gps it is impossible to make it work, even after following many online tutorials.
The on / off button sometimes gets caught and resets.
The headphone connection is not good and sounds bad.
Reviewed this to the salesman told me they would give me support, etc, etc, told me I was going to wait to send another new model, gave me all kinds of options, but ultimately it only to gain time.
Once you pass the time of the vote, and has forgotten all its commitments and ripped me off.
I recommend everyone to not deal with the seller, who has only good words but deceives.
I hope my mistake serve for one to be saved from falling into this trap, but also effectively tells you it's quad core 1.8, it's actually 1.2.
Greetings all, I hope this information will be useful.

Ezio i95 Stock rom
Any one had ezio i95 stok rom?
ezio 95
hi,
I have read that some of the specs get rewritten within the operating system to fool antutu.
However I am also after a copy of the stock rom. I have a enzio s89 that I have bricked before I made a rom copy. This ezio i95 uses the same processor and is about the same size Maybe it will work in mine.
Are you able to download MTK droid tools and make a copy of your stock rom please. That is always worth doing in any case.
Hello community,
I have installed on my Droid DNA CM10.2, without problems.

But unfortunately, I have seen that works only one of the four cores!
After a long search I found a CPU Editor for DualCores and Beta QuadCore. But unfortunately this does not at all - the version for DualCore works fine.
Has anyone similar experiences or can someone give me a tipp?
It is this mod: "CPU Editor QC Beta 1" from Smokin1337
It shouldn't need all four cores on unless you're running something that's cpu intensive. Normally it's set to use one core and as workload ramps up the other cores come online.
I run AnTuTu Benchmark and switch to CPU-Z = one core at 1512 MHz overall 25% Load!
CPU Benchmark the same result, one core and the rest ist "stopped".
Any idea?

What's were your scores?
It seems to be a stock kernel problem, try running crpalmers kernel.
AnTuTu score (without CPU Editor) 11247 and with DualCore Fix 13978
Edit: Problem solved! Kernel update crpalmer 3.5.1 = AnTuTu score ~20.000
Thx @orangechoochoo!
Hi sir,admins and moderators,I just want to ask about android cpu,I want to buy new phone,what should I get,Octa core Mediatek or Quadcore snap dragon? An android with 5 and above inch with 2 or 3gb ram,Asus,Vivo or Oppo?I like xiomi but I havnt tried yet so not now. I play a lots of PPSSPP Games and my problem is always about FPS.I dont hate SAMSUNG but What I always see in my cpu-z was no cpu on or all cpu was stopped and the governor is aknown.and unlike samsung I try to play others phone like Asus snap dragon,all quad core is on but the governor is in interactive and the Fps is in 40 and above,And other is Oppo, Octa core mediatek,Governor is in interactive but I only see one core is remaining on and the 4 core sometimes every 4 or 6 seconds they turn on and the other 3 core turn on only when other hard games is running,PPSSPP FPS is in 41 and above but when the phone gets lowbatt.it drops into 17 FPS and beIow.I think the snap dragon is in 1.7 Ghz and the mediatek is in 1.4 or 1.7 to? So Im asking what phone is the best to buy? T.Y
