Hey, so i recently tried Retroarch on this phone and noticed some stuttering in everything i try to play with it, i then looked through the settings and apparently the OS reported refresh rate said it was 63Hz, I then tried the calibrate refresh rate option and that said it was 63.4Hz. I've tested this on several other apps/games as well that have a locked framerate, and to my dismay, they also stuttered about 3 frames every second.
This is a pretty major issue for me, because everything looks and feels very unpolished and it's distracting to me. What i wanna know is, if it's possible to force feed the display 60Hz, and if the display would even handle it properly without any doubling or skipping of frames. If any of you have a solution for this, I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

I'm having this same issue with my phone as well, and it even effects flappy bird. I know its not the most serious issue in the world but for games that require fluid motion and somewhat precise timing, such as emulators or flappy bird, its enough to make me stop wanting to play the games altogether. Does anyone know why the phone (Oneplus One) runs at 63hz and is there any way to change it or somehow fix the issue with video stuttering in apps on phones that run at uneven refresh rates, such as 56hz, 59hz, or 63hz?

Did you ever find a fix? Everything on the phone is flawless, its just the stuttering is the only thing bugging me!!

Hi just updated to b190 is it just me or has anybody else noticed that the update makes games run terrible?lag and judder all over the shop .cheers
Same problem here, after update to B190. Clash of Clash picture quality when zoomed out blurry/fuzzy, when zoomed in a little bit better but stil not crisp as before the update..
Yep my clash of clans gone the same way and golf clash is silly laggy
I found this on the internet and tried it. Makes picture quality quite a bit better.
In Android's developer options you can try to change the dpi minimum width value from 360 to 480, and after that the games' graphics are good, but gaming is a little laggy, so I keep the 360 value. After that I tried to clean every information of the game (without reinstalling) and now the graphics works well. It seems that after the upgrade to Android 7, clash royale wasn't able to identify the proper dpi value, and maybe there were conflict between information cached from the old system. Try only to clean cache and game information, it will solve the problem I hope. For me it worked

Is there a camera mod allowing an instant switch, while recording video, between 30fps normal speed, then temporarily 240fps slow mo and back to normal, 30/60fps? I was watching water fowl by the river today and having that possibility would make some great videos. Those cormorants and ducks flying low over the water surface are funny birds to watch and I was thinking that a video would make it even more funny: to let the bird approach at normal speed, switch to 240fps for a few seconds to make them appear in the video like suspended in the air and then quickly 'send them away' at the normal speed again.
First of all, you asking this in the wrong place because things like this need to be in the Questions section. 2nd, have you even tried the slo-motion setting in the camera app? Because you can record up to 1 minute and then you can pick the part which you want to use the slo motion effect on and the rest will play on normal speed.

I wasn't asking about video editing, I was thinking about some sort of a button on the screen to make an instant speed change, seamless, you know I can't make the duck to stop or slow down when it's flying in real life or have another 'take' like in staged scenes with hired actors.

Do you even understand how fps works? Of course there isn't just a button to switch on the fly because that would bug out the video when playing it back. I also dont get why you just dont use the slo-motion function where you can have full control on the speed and after the convert it will playback just fine

The original slow-mo recording sorta does this automatically, but well... it records more FPS at all times. Besides, I don't think it's possible to do what you're asking simply because recording in slow mo requires a lot more light.

So, it would need better hardware(some sort of variable aperture) plus, even more processing power and Android could do it. One of the original concepts for a practical Android applications, before telephony, was a photo camera, then they figured: hey, we can put some radios in it, set up relay towers around and call it cellular.

Again, what you want wont happen and like i said a the other person who replied in this topic.... its already kinda there with the slo-motion function! It records everything on 240/480 and then after you done recording you can pick your part to slow down and then it converts the rest to 30fps.
The feature you want is dynamic fps switching but this wont happen in a long time if ever.
Hi,
I have the P30 for about 5 days now and from the first day i have some issues with scrolling in Youtube and Chrome, it`s very chpppy. In other apps is fine even though its not fast is smooth. Anyone have this problem? I have the latest update .124 and i did reset it once but the problem persist. I had an HTC U11 and it was super smooth in both Youtube and Chrome.
I also noticed this. As soon as a Youtube video is playing it gets laggy. Same for Firefox, sometimes it just stops, then jumps. Seems to be normal, i hope they'll fix this. That's the one thing i loved about Sony phones: They're so damn smooth.
I noticed this too. It's fine at first, but once a preview video starts to play on the main feed, it gets choppy, but only when scrolling down. Scrolling back up remains smooth.
Haven't noticed this so far. Made a quick test on YouTube, with and without video playing and the scrolling is smooth. Only if I scroll very fast and it has to load more videos it will get stuck from told to time but I think that's normal

i dont think so.. I have a oneplus 3 and its pretty smooth in youtube videos.. I bought a p30 5 days ago and in noticed the laggy youtube too. Hope it fix soon
I've noticed this also. I've also seen a few reviewers report this.
Hopefully sorted in a future update.
Experiencing choppy scrolling as well. Mostly in Chrome on pages with lots of ads, videos and photos. Not having any issues in YouTube though.
No laggy issues with firefox app in youtube page
I got my P30 2 days ago, and updated to the latest EMUI out of the box. Tried replicating the issue, based on the descriptions above, but have thus far been unsuccessful (which is good!).
Yesterday i updtated the youtube app and no more laggy issues!!!
I'm still having the issue even though I updated the phone and youtube.
another issue is in google maps when you start the navigation tool.. the laggy in youtube persists when you watch the video in 1080p 60fps...
I notice it's a bit choppy when I'm playing SimCity Buildit and I visit other players' cities. Is it something to do with the refresh rate for those apps, maybe? Could that be clashing with the P30 refresh rate?
version 161 is still very choppy laggy in video playing apps (e.g. YouTube)

I have version 161 and it's still very laggy and choppy whenever video is playing.
So i tested my P30 and no issue in youtube app. In chrome when scrolling sometimes it is laggy because the animated ads start oalying when scrolling. Beside that no issues. Im on 161 firmware.
Just bought P30. The phone is fast but scrolling in bluetooth(when searching for device) and YouTube makes me a little angry... I hope they will fix this soon.

Same here. The scrolling is also very slow on some apps ( not choppy, just slow).
Same here, got a Huawei p30 some days ago, awsome device but Youtube app get's low frame drops and choppy when:
- Scrolling comments while video is playing (if video goes pause, it's smooth)
- When going to wide full screen, videos seems to have lower framerate (not 60)
- When autorotating the screen from vertical to portrait and forth
Is there any way to adivice Huawei or Google about this? plenty of post in even other sites has the same issue with Youtube.
Exactly same issues on my device. Waiting for fix.
After mucking around with certain games I used to have on my old Galaxy S8 I've discovered something interesting. I get ridiculous lag and frame pacing in just about every game leading to poor results in games such as Cytus 2 (fast paced rhythm game relying on accurate input with no lag) the new Sky game (stutters and tearing in both refresh modes), and a side scroller that has no heavy graphical fidelity (lags on screen and even tears sometimes).
This is all kind of in accordance to this recent review video of the p40 (different phone, same chipset)
https://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-p40-vs-galaxy-s20-plus-1133345/
Now one thing I've noticed is that if I use appassistant to launch these games, the poor performance disappears entirely. No lag anywhere, in Cytus, where before during fast sections it wouldn't even register taps 6-7 times per song, there are ZERO misses across the board. Similarly, no screen tearing or lag in any other game.
Wondering if the OS is optimized to cut power to the GPU and put it into limp mode during normal operation to save battery as I've noticed a dramatic difference in battery drop when using appassistant or not to play games. I mean naturally, the appassistant game center is doing its job but man that's a big difference.
Anyone have similar experiences?
Whats appassistant????
I can't seem to get any game to play at 120 fps on my Note 20 Ultra. There's really only 1 game that I have that is capable and I generally can't tell a difference unless I really state and look for that extra smoothness but I figure I have the phone it should do what I want. My S20 plays subway surfers at 120hz according perf z but the Note does not and I can tell (barely but I can). Anyone else have any issues?
Edit: not sure if it's because it's adaptive refresh rate vs full time and so the games don't sense 120hz and so won't run at 120fps. If that is the case 120hz would be a true gimmick, lol.
Same here. Even the games that supposedly are 120hz run 60hz. Some say it is because the games are not utilising some Samsung compatibility api. I've tried also, as suggested, disabling game optimization. Still @ 60hz

I've tried 5 games that are supposed to run at 120fps but none have been successful. So the one true advantage of battery sucking 120hz isn't an advantage at all. Nice.

Well games that I like to play that do not work include brawl stars (only 90 but still plays at 60), subway surfers (I got this to play at 120 on my S20 ultra), and critical ops. I also tried random games on the play store including bullet force and some other random one...none of them played at 120. I did, since my last post try a game that finally did display at 120 fps according to perf z. But it's not a game that would have ever played. Wish there was some consistency.
What app are you using to show fps. Mine shows 120 for games. 60 for maps

At this moment, there are like 50 games that supports 120hz. I only tried injustice and it goes till 120 fps
It's on optimized, adaptive smoothness on and no adaptive power saving.

I use game plugins tools, you can find that on galaxy store and in game plugins, there is a toggle for perf z which is basically an overlay that shows CPU, GPU consumption, FPS & Temp

Oddly, I couldn't use it about 2 weeks ago. I could use it last week. And the. I restarted my phone and perf z is greyed out. Strange. Haven't updated the firmware. Not other changes in settings. Just says not compatible.
Edit: restarted phone and it works again.
Same here. I downloaded alto and It works on 60hz only. What to do to force 120hz?
Same here. I also can monitor ingame fps with the PerfZ-App, but in every game it shows a maximum of 60 fps. In Subway Surfers, the fps-bar goes up to 120, but it's half-full all the time at 60.
Another weird bug is in Archero. Every time when i'm not moving and there are many particles on screen, the GPU turns off completely (the GPU utilization-bar shows only "-" instead of a percentage) and the fps goes to 0. When i touch the screen, it rises instantly to 60 again...
I tried disabling the Game Optimizing Service and the Game Booster App with package-disabler, turned every power-saving mode off, tried to reinstall the games i tried (A LOT), even did a hard reset. All i can do now is to wait for an update that hopefully fixes everything... I'm losing my patience with this phone...
BUT: C.A.T.S Crash Arena is the ONLY game, that runs in 120 fps on my phone...
