Hy i am asking myself about the fiability of the heart rate sensor for runing. Do you use the Gear S3 to have your heart rate?
Ther is no such word as fiability. Do you mean viability?
The heart rate sensor is poor and often does not take accurate reading. It's supposed to take a reading every 10 mins but often doesn't due to movement of your hand or fingers. Try and take a reading whilst moving your fingers. When you run it takes a constant reading but is inaccurate due to movement. My Garmin has none of these issues probably due to the sensor being raised from the back and hence makes better contact. I do have a small wrist which probably doesn't help.

Yep, it's totally crap. Hit and miss with 1:10 ratio. So it sucks. When you sit still that is. During running it does measure quite reasonable showing enough data points on the graph.
What I find more worrying is that is insists I live 18 meters below sea level even though I calibrated manually like 20 times!
Ok thanks for answers. So te heart rate sensor is not made for sport activity.
Can't say I've ever had an issue with mine. Works when it's supposed to.
Is it possible to use and external HR sensor like the polar h7 when runnig

Actually I'm saying it's pretty good for sports. It just doesn't work well when you do a manual measurement, it than constantly nags to clean the sensor.
I have a watch 2 classic and it looks like the heart rate sensor works fine only up to 110-120bpm. After sports when my heart rate is way more than 150bpm it always shows something in the 110-120bpm range.
I don't care if it is off by +-5bpm, but being off by 40+ is definitely not ok. I understand that movement during sports could pose a problem, but that happens after I sit down and am not moving at all.
Does the heart rate sensor work for you normally for higher bpms?
If it does, then I should probably send it to be repaired.

looking at my data via the Huawei Health app over the past few weeks, there have been a few instances (when running) when my heart rate got above 175. maybe the watch is not registering your heart rate during those peak times, so it only catches it on the way down?

I doubt it. I have tried it many times using google fit, huawei health or just by launching the heart beat app. My heart rate was definitely much higher at that time than the watch measured.
Does it only peak for you or is it above e.g. 150 for a longer time?

so looking at my 18-min 2-mile run on Tuesday, my heart rate was above 150 from 8:08am to 8:16am. keep in mind that my rest heart rate is about 55. i know that's a small sample, so maybe I'll test on an elliptical machine next time I go to the gym.

I think that's a good sample. Now I know that the sensor should be working and it's obviously not. I've only seen it peak a few times above 150 and then it was back to 110-120. I'll check if my brother's watch can measure my bpm correctly and if my watch can measure his bpm correctly. Then I'll definitely know if the watch is a problem or there's something with me
Hi,
I got my Poco X3 a few days ago and the dynamic refresh rate really annoys me...
Is there a way to stop it or to force the refresh rate to always 120hz?
There is an option in Display/Screen.

Hi,
I didn't see this option. there is only an option to change it from 120 to 60 but there isn't one for always 120 or even always 60, I tried setting it to 60hz but I noticed the same frame rate drops because of its dynamic changes
Ah, I see what you mean now. Various reviewers mentioned this also.

it even does the same thing with 60hz (but not as bad as the 120hz)
Honestly, I think 60Hz runs <60fps, at least compared to other Android devices I have around. I haven't checked the actual FPS but they feel at times more like 30, even when doing basic stuff. Gaming (Asphalt 8) feels choppy at times. Not sure what they are doing but something is wrong with the software.
This phone needs some software update to fix all this problem.
From what I was reading, the adaptive refresh rate on Samsung phones works as long as the brightness is above 8% or the ambient light sensor reads above 40 lux. Otherwise, it is always stuck at 120Hz.
But that does not seem to be always true. When playing some games, the refresh rate will drop to 60 to match the game. But I also once managed to get the adaptive refresh rate to go down to 24Hz with the lowest possible brightness and with the ambient light sensor reading pretty much zero (I literally went to a closet and it still worked). But I never managed to
So, how is it supposed to work then? Most of the time, mine is stuck at 120Hz, which just eats the battery. I have no idea, who thought that to get less Hz, you need to increase your brightness.

if the game is only displaying at 60fps (which most games will do, at most, unless they have been updated to support 120fps) then there is no point at all in the display showing more than this.

So you've seen the display at 120 HZ 60 HZ and 24 HZ. And you're saying it's not so adaptive. You've just proven that it literally is.

Bruh. My point is that it does not work with low brightness or low ambient light. So yes. It's adaptive up tu some point, but I am at that point where it isn't...

So I guess that showing a static image requires 120Hz then. OK...
My advice, wait for the official release day tomorrow and the day one OTA, which there always is, before we start moaning too much about things not functioning as expected.
I have mine forced to 120hz at all times. Love it, no difference i notice in batt life. Got 8hrs SOT yesterday at 80% brightness. This is on a snappy.

Can the refresh rate be set to 60 hertz / no variations on the small S22 ?
Does this 60 hertz forced limit increase battery life by 20 % or even more ?
I just picked up the OnePlus 9 a few days ago. I've been an iPhone user for as long as I can remember, though I have owned android phones in the past. The last one I owned when I decided to "switch it up" was the Galaxy S7 Edge. I absolutely love the 120hz refresh rate of this phone but it drains battery terribly. I'm talking 20%+ on low-medium brightness just playing Pokemon Go.
My question is, if I were to root the device, would I be able to tinker with the display settings to set it to a happy medium of 90hz? Surely since it can handle 120hz, it can handle 90hz. I know the refresh rate isn't variable on it but I wasn't sure if I could "force" it. I'm not sure of the implications of that. I just want to still have a decent refresh rate without my battery draining that badly. It even states in the battery portion of settings that changing it from 120hz to 60hz would increase my battery life by anywhere from 10-12 hours.
Is this possible? I'm not sure what my options are. I was going to get the N200 but compared to the 9 on a hardware level, it's not even worth it just for the 90hz display.
