yea ive definitely noticed that heat is a factor in the quadrant scores. Ive been turning my phone off for about 30mins to a hour, either once a day or every other day, to let it cool down. The AC cooling idea is cool but im a little nervous putting the phone through two different extremes like that too often

I don't think you have to switch off the phone to cool it down. Just letting it sit idle seems to do the trick. I too confirm three effect of heat on quadrant score. It was on the 4100 range when hot, but after some idle time it hit 5100. Never switched the phone off in between.

Yea I keep my s3 in a cooler iced down properly, I'm getting 9000 quadrant score consistently after it thaws a bit.

Not bad for bone stock.

Just a tad better than Sprints out the box

Lmao. Did you wipe cache before freezing it down? I heard that puts it over 10k.

yeah the only reason the U.S. version score above the htc one x is because of the ram. the cpu is like half the speed.

Well that was the idea of the extra G of ram... I still don't see the need for quad cores in phones just yet.

Take your phone and use it normally for about 5 minutes (Texting, Phone Call, Whatever) and then run Quadrant see what you get. Then take your phone and set it by your A/C vent for a few minutes and let it chill. Run Quadrant again and I'll bet your score is significantly better. I was having problems with my T-Mobile S3 not reaching 5000+ in Quadrant. I use the phone heavily but could only manage to get like 3500 - 4000. I let my phone sit above the A/C for 5 minutes and ran the test again to get 5100!

Hot (20 minutes of RiptideGP @ max details): 4818
Cold (5min AC): 4928

After reboot: 5174
