posting benchmark scores is pointless, unless your just doing it for the fun of it, comparing with friends. just doing them to do them is pointless. also, they are a good way to see if changes that you made in your kernel affect the device in a good or bad way.
1. do not put it in airplane mode, do have a mobile data connection/wifi on. as many benchmarks need you to have a data connection.
2. right, kill whatever is working in your background.
3. i do benchmarks in warm and cool environments. some benchmarks prefer cooler temps, some prefer warmer temps. most benchmarks that stress the cpu will want cooler temps(except quadrant likes warmer temps), while the benchmarks that put more stress on the gpu then the cpu it wont matter.
4. generally, 20C-30C cpu temps are a good starting point. a little lower if you are benching the higher cpu speeds(above 1.7ghz).
5. i prefer to disable thermal throttling while benchmarking. with thermal throttle on, you just dont know what your device can actually do.
6. have a consistant setup for your benchmarking, keep it the same for every time you benchmark.
7. also, when benchmarking, lock in your cpu speed, dont let it scale. for example, i like to benchmark at 1836mhz, i set my high and low cpu speed to 1836. many of the benchmarks dont stress the device enough and the cpu will scale up and down. when it scales, you dont actually know what cpu speed its testing.
and this is absolutely right, be consistent and thorough..
