Quadrant?

[shantheman#AC]

I checked out the quadrant standard edition in the playstore. I wanted to see if the results were similar to the reviews I'm seeing. They weren't. In fact...they were a lot lower...like better than my Gnex but only somewhat.
Can someone explain if this is the same quadrant test I see being used by the reviewing websites? Is there a reason why theirs would be in the high 4000 low 5000 range but mine wasn't? (I even rebooted the phne and tried it on wifi only airplane mode...no real difference...it was around 3000 each time.)

Are they reviewing the quad core SGS3 compared to your dual core?

4732 here stock, just got it from fedex.....

 

[shantheman#AC]

gigabyte...it is the review for the dual core american version.
viper3two...did you run quadrant before installing apps and such? I'm wondering if that would slow mine down?

Ive been getting around 4950...make sure all other aps are closed.

Those scores can be manipulated, they can be fresh wipe no apps etc. Its a reason why AC did with those test. Unreliable

I'm just concerned that either I have a weird app slowing things down, or my phone has an issue.

Mine slowed down randomly at one point, then it fixed itself... I think it dipped to 3500.

Yep, that's a fresh out of the box phone. Only thing I have done is syncd my google contacts and read this thread, loaded quadrant on it and tried it. No other apps or docs/pics/music etc on it yet.

Clear your cache I bet you'll see a bump in numbers. Those numbers can be different

I'm doing a hard reset now...then add apps one by one after running quad. Thanks for the insights.

 

[shantheman#AC]

Ok...tested 5072 after reset and not loading apps. I can see how this can be manipulated and also how hard it is to compare apple to apples when dealing with different manufacturers.

 

[viper3two]

good deal....

 

[shantheman#AC]

Big difference in lag. I narrowed it down to a calendar widget app that must have been causing a conflict.

Was it the samsung calendar widget?

 

[shantheman#AC]

It is called "Simple Calendar Widget"...I have used it on my last 4 phones...but not anymore apparently. The Samsung one works fine...just not as appealing aesthetically.

Here is a screen shot of my "Quadrant Standard" results from last Friday, the first night of using it. A total score of 5162.
