Hello guys,
Have anyone tried to change s6's resolution to 1080p or even 720p? From some reading i did, there seems to be a significant perfomance boost and a negligible battery improvement. If anyone did it ON S6 5.1.1 with success, can he share the exact procedure?
Yes i changed to 1080 and game performance is much smoother

The RAM magement is ultra bad on s6 (apps get out from memory damn fast). Does this make it better somehow? And what about free RAM after you reboot the phone?
Also, can be this changed via adb shell? For the people who doesn't want to root..

Root your phone and install a custom ROM and the RAM management problems will be solved. Putting the phone to 1080p is completely useless unless you want the smoothest possible framerate in games and less battery reduction when playing heavy games
I don't want custom roms.
Anyway, samsung has an app for tunning the game resolution. You can set per game too. It's called Game Tuner. (Found it accidentally today in play store)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gametuner.thin
It would be cool if samsung let us out of the box to set the resolution system wide.. (For ram usage)
I have recently seen an article talking about battery mode which could change from QHD to FHD to HD. Is there a way S6 has similar option
yes in note 7 port for s6. but it s not worth.
It wont save you any battery..also speed will be the same.
So it s another useless feature by samsung
I already tested it.

thats not fault from samsung or useless feature but note 7 port itself has bad battery life
It has bad battery life but changing to hd dsnt improve it a bit
Before S6 I had LG G3 and remeber that some user changed resolution from QHD to FHD and made battery test.
Test shows that FHD resolution gave 10 minutes of SOT more.
Better keep QHD.

according to phone buff ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBIPU8aCCgE ) it makes no perceivable difference in day-to-day use, might affect gaming performance though.
Hi
i had an Xperia X before i buy new XZ and in developer options, Force GPU Rendering option extended battery for 2-3 hours more + smoother and faster UI experience.
and using it on XZ now and i feel it works as well on XZ too. but not sure... i need some people to test it on their XZ and please reply the result here.
How to:
Activate Developer Options by tapping on Build Number in About.
tick : Force GPU Rendering
Thank you :good:
Cool but is there any comprehension on why you think this helps battery :good:

Hi
because in xperia X forums someone said gpu drain less battery than cpu and enabling this feature will help a lot, i test it (on my X) and it was so true.
so i got this idea to test it on my XZ now. not sure if my battery goes longer...
Hey guys I get a XZP and forced enabled 4k display. After enabled GPU 2d rendering I feel it costs more battery usage . Maybe it's related to the 4k display or my psychological feeling and I'll do more test .
Sorry for my poor English.
Hello everyone
A few hours ago, Firmware Finder received .150 firmware update for C185 models. I personally downloaded it even though there was no change log and updated using Hurupdater. I had noticed no changes at a first glance but then i moved to settings to confirm that the phone had updated. It said GPU Turbo below my version number. I decided to check out a graphically intensive game I play called 'Honkai Impact 3rd' on max graphics and 60fps which would heat down the phone within a few missions and there would also be quite a few stutters when alot of special effects would be going on at the same time before. I can confirm that since the update that the stutters have been reduced but most importantly, the phone hasn't been heating up as much in game after an hour of playtime. Battery life has been noticeably better too as there is less drain for sure. This is just my experience, can't wait for everyone else to get it as well, so I can know what is happening (whether GPU Turbo is actually on or not). For now though, I'll be testing more games to see how the phone is doing but I'm liking this so far.
very good news
In China, there have been a lot reports of the phone getting even hotter, the battery draining faster and the camera being more sensitive to flaring (esp. in night mode). I'm curious if people here will confirm or if these bugs have been fixed in the meantime. Personally, I think I won't update to .150 when it's out, better to wait a few weeks =)
Better battery drain during gaming or even in general use?

From my experience (which is less than a full day) the phone doesn't get as hot as it normally did before the update unless I play extensively for about an hour straight. Any less and I've been seeing good heat management so far. Of course I'm still in the early stages of testing and cannot comment further until 3-4 days of testing.

So battery life definitely seems better when i was playing my regular games., I'll need some time before I can comment on regular use. I'll try updating the thread after a few days of testing.
Interesting news! Any antutu or other benchmark result?
Still waiting 130 update for C432 model of p20 pro.
Funny how some areas gets updates so much faster although same phone model.
What about normal apps specially Google photos. Is it any smoother with no lag or stutters ??
Hi, please check the slo-mo 960fps recording.... Any improvements in the alleged artifacts during 32x slow videos? Huawei is using framerate interpolation for it which throws in visible artifacts during close up slow motion...

For everyone interested to know benchmark results, to my disappointment, results on Antutu, Geekbench and 3d mark remain very similar to those prior to the update. Which is very strange indeed as I'm definitely noticing an improvement in battery life, device heat management and fps slightly whilst gaming. It is possible that im running a test build and have not been running a full taste of Gpu Turbo, and it's also possible that Huawei's claim of 'Gpu Turbo' just means much better device thermal manamagement for more consistent FPS and battery life. Lastly, it is also possible thst Gpu turbo isn't even on since this is a test build and it's just that they've tweaked device performance and improved battery life compared to the previous version I was on (. 130). Thus I cannot judge fully and I'm waiting on an update to prove me wrong. I check firmware finder everyday and love testing new things. Although if what I'm experiencing is actually gpu turbo then I do not mind as at the very least, I see some improvement in battery life.

Scrolling has been super smooth. Google photos has been super snappy. The only app I see causing any scroll lag at this time is Twitter and that I'd blame the app itself rather than Huawei. I think it's definitely more fluid than the previous version of the software I was on but it is not heavily noticeable as both were very smooth for the most part.

I took this opportunity to compare the slow mo performance to my Mom's S9+. I believe the artifacts are still present as I see lines and weird effects popping up randomly which I do not see on the S9+.
Gpu turbo is only for games so you won't notice any improvement other that in gaming, that's why there is an special application tor that "game suite" that you can enable the acceleration.
I'm running b150 for a few days and so far the phone is better from before in term of small tweaks here and there and i noticed the front camera is better now,not perfect but very usable.
The battery has improved a little but but it was very good before too.
I had read that the antutu would be similar to snapdragon 845. I guess it was just a lie.

Oh thanks for the info, I actually didn't notice this and yes I see games running much nicer with the setting turned on. However, they also heat up the phone quicker and drain alot of battery life. Should you choose to turn the option off however, you notice the same games don't drain as much battery life anymore and the phone doesn't heat up as much and the battery life is noticeably better than before the update.

I don't play intensive games just clash royal,i have the acceleration turned off, didn't test much of it but the battery seems better not sure about the heat tho.
This is my battery life this day,all day 4g and most of the time outside.

That's pretty good considering you're gaming. I'm definitely getting atleast 7-8 hours of sot when I'm not going all out and about 5-6 on maxed out heavy gaming for most of the day. Even with the Gaming Optimization turned on the phone doesn't heat up alot as long as you're in a well ventilated environment. Im not much of a heavy gamer myself but definitely see better fps on Csr Racing 2 (used to lag a bit in the garage) and Honkai Impact 3rd with optimization in gaming suite on. Honkai is definitely giving me 60 fps in 90% of the scenarios so the lag is barely noticeable unlike before. As for benchmarks, unfortunately you cannot add benchmark related apps to the game optimize feature so the GPU turbo can't be turned on for them. Strangely enough, every other app (even regular apps) can be optimized.
