Kellen

It’s not often that you get to merge personal passions into a professional life, but that’s what Kellen did when he launched Droid Life in 2009. After working years of unsatisfying jobs in the medical and property management fields, he took a risk to try and create an online community while playing with the coolest gadgets on the planet each day, a risk that has turned out to be incredibly rewarding. Outside of Droid Life, Kellen is your typical Portlander who drinks way too much good beer, complains often about the Trail Blazers, and can be found out on the streets for a run, rain or shine.

  • A lucky Android Central forums poster has Froyo (Android 2.2) running on his Droid X, and to nip the nay-saying in the bud has shot a bit o' video for us all to drool over.

  • Total bullshit. I just ran Quadrant twice on my Droid X, running 2.1, and got a 1260 average. No mods, tons of widgets and apps running. No way that an upgrade in Android version would DROP the performance by 1/3rd.

  • this isn't faked, this is my friend's DX and i watched him run this benchmark

  • why is your rating only like a 700 when my Droid x gets about 1250 on 2.1, i though froyo was suppose to be faster.

  • also if it made the incredible faster with senses huge overlay it will make the droid x faster with what im guessing is smaller motoblur

  • 1274 quandrant score with stock DX and loads of apps with lots of widgets running. I'm quite sure 2.2 will better the score.

  • My x runs 1140 with everyrhing and its mother running in the background and 1280 after killing everything but voice with task manager

  • i just ran it and got a 1202 for the 2nd time today on my x as well this isnt right at all

  • i got 1283 on my 2.1 droid x its impossible for a droid x to get slower with these new graphics enhancements the droid x will probably get 1300 with2.2 can i say FAKE!

  • 1265 on my Quadrant score and i had prob 10-20 apps installed. I called shenanigans on this quadrant score.

  • ITS JUST A PICTURE….none of makes any sense. If you can score higher on your DX right now with 2.1 why would you thinks this is actually running 2.2. Probably some guy working for Apple creating this MADNESS!!

  • Yeah, there has to be a good reason for this, be it debug mode or the fact that it's fake. I ran a 1285 on my DX on Quadrant today and there's no way performance is going down a quarter when every other phone is like 2x faster on Froyo. That would have to be some seriously bad software Moto's putting on top of vanilla.

  • I tested quadrant on all the DX before I sold them and every one of them were right under nexus one 2.2. they all averaged about 1150. there linpack all sucked though.. they were gettin like 4.112

  • Why do I want a DX? When my Droid 1 that's rooted, overclocked, and on froyo smashes the DX in the quadrant benchmark

    • Well, maybe the X will double it's speed to 2200 with froyo. The Nexus 1 doubled it's speed with quadrant. I know that I prefer the larger screen.

    • I'm with ya man! I scored a 1459 with my rooted D1 running SS4.5 with ChevyNo1 1.1.

    • Exactly. I only run “stock” 800 MHz roms, I just trust that's what JRummy/Pete/Cyanogen team decided was the most stable, and even with widgets running and not bothering to shut apps off I score a…. 1053….That's with three “Pure” widgets and Beautiful Widgets running, among others. BTW, Pure widgets blow your battery to sh*t.

  • Has anyone installed Quadrant Advanced? I'm interested to see how the DX subscores stack up against the other phones.

  • Guys, i wouldnt worry the slightest bit about the quadrant scores. Every device that has seen a upgrade to froyo has also seen a HUGE boost on performance. what makes you believe that the X will be any different? we already best every other phone out there 2x's in quadrant benchmarks when it comes to Eclair. this thing is going to be rediculous when we get the final cut. also if this is the real version on 2.2 on the X i am alost positive that there would b a place that u could download because if it was the true OTA that would actually be one thing that we COULD load on the X with the locked bootloader. i know how to make everyone feel beter, get on youtube and look at the graphics benchmark test against N1 and EVO, the X murders those phones. Hey i know it boosted my ego bc i was a little hurt to see the DInc running such high benchs since that is the phone that i gave up to get the X. We shall see the real froyo soon enough. til then i guess ill just enjoy the Eclair that God Google has dealt me

  • II love it how its slower than itself in quadrant (x is marked lower than shadow)

  • Why is part of the kernel version blurred out in the picture? Something to note is that the W30471@il93droid08 #1 is the exact same as on the 2.1 phones. That is actually the coreID (Motorola's version of a screen name) and the location (IL93 is the Libertyville, IL Motorola location) of the last person to compile the code. Interestingly it is the same guy…

  • This still seems like it's faked to me…I ran a quadrant test on my friends Droid X and it was WAY faster then what they are posting here. I even sent pics of it to Kellex.

  • If this isn't simply skinned/fake, then this is likely just a dev build with a lot of debugging and other resource intensive stuff turned on. I don't think people should be getting their manties all in a bunch just yet. Give it a week.

  • i just downloaded Quadrant onto my droid and it runs through the full benchmark and then it just goes back to the main menu. no chart and it doesnt even give me a score! what did i do wrong or didn't i do?

  • Wait wait wait wait… Why is the Motorola Shadow on the same benchmark table as the Droid X? I thought they were the same device? Unless it means that 2.2 actually makes your DX slower… this is way too sketchy to be real.

  • I ran a quadrant on my X with all my stuff running and even got a text in the middle of it.

    Score: 1260

    That must be a test build.

  • I hope that the build this is benchmarking on is without JIT enabled thats the only way I can see that score being so low

  • As I mentioned in the other posts about the X running Froyo these are early releases. From the looks of these screen shot it is an even earlier build of Froyo then the one I saw running on a X tha twas rooted already. That said get a grip people, Froyo is no where near being done and ready for release on the X so relax on the Quadrant scores. Currently the best thing to run on an X is the 2.1 build that it released with PERIOD END OF STORY.

    • You hit the nail on the head. I know multiple people who have X's running froyo already, and yes they are engineering unit not release builds. All are in fact dev builds of Froyo also and things are not up to speed, not even close mind you. I'm told the current Froyo build has failed testing twice now per VZW standards so they are backing to fixing things. Reality is these pics on the float are old builds.

      Anywhoo ask any Moto person who has access to this stuff and they will tell you use 2.1 for now until Froyo is done. So you folks need to kick back relax and enjoy what you have right now and stop worrying about screen shots that get posted of SW tha tis not final.

  • I wonder if this is what the quadrant scores of the X are really going to be with Froyo. It wouldn't make sense for Moto/VZW to release a test build of Froyo without JIT Compiler which is one of the highlighted features of Froyo. Guess we will see in a future or final test build for the X.

  • I seriously doubt thats full on 2.2. It could be really Froyo, but it might not have the JIT complier. No matter what there should be a greater spike in speed.

    On a related note: Good to see 6+ phones will get Froyo by the middle of August. Pretty speedy don't you think..? Even the Samsung Galaxy S is well on its way with its fair amount of leaks. If something so embedded with a custom skin and filled with so much to port and test like the Samsung Galaxy S can get it going, others can easily.

  • This isn't the official update. It is more or less a skin for testers keep your droids in hand as these will improve

  • Adds creedence to my thought that the phone really stil has 2.1 on it….it's just a new skin…..

  • Think it'll improve? I recall the 2.1 quadrant tests beating the Galaxy S at least but these results are pitiful.

    Perhaps I won't get a DX afterall. 🙁

  • can he grab an sbf or anything related to the bootloader. If it has 2.2 on it it might of been a dev/tester unit and hold the answers we need!

  • I thought the DX was running at 1GHz? I looked at it last night and was not very impressed, in fact, I thought the DI was faster!!! i'm waiting for the DX 2GHz with Froyo

    • You mean with Pastry or Strudel or whatever they are calling the version that is out by then.

      • Exactly, I'll probably root it anyway and install the BB newest version anyway. Either way it should be sweet….

  • Would it be possible for someone to force the Droid Incredible leaked OTA build on to Droid X? That might explain poor numbers

  • That Quad score bites, whats up with that? and doesn't the Droid 1 have that same processor?

      • Anyone looking at this quadrant score seriously is a little slow. Also, if anyone rooted, and ran a quandrant score before a reboot you saw the scores around 800. There are a number of things that could contribute to the lower quandrant score, but I can assure you froyo running on the droidx will be above 1300 (which is what i'm getting now at 2.1)
