3rd party apps lack of 90Hz support

I've been finding that some 3rd party apps lack 90Hz support. Most disappointing of which is Samsung Browser. I would think that screen refresh rate is independent of apps but obviously the phone is detecting something with these apps and saying "I should render this at 60Hz". Has anyone found a workaround? I'd love to use Samsung Browser but it's hard to go back to 60Hz. /firstworldproblems

apps do not have to do with the refresh rate. Perhaps they have low frames per second which could be improved by disabling ads or some other tweaks

Wrong. Apps do need to add support to show 90 frames.

I wouldn't say so. Might apply to some games. But not to standard apps at all.

The only apps that need support are games

Sorry If that was misleading. App developers need to optimize the app so It calculates every frame faster so it has time to show 90 fps on 90hz displays.

You said I was wrong and then supported my point. I also said frames could be improved but not refresh rate, which is a different thing. Apps display as a chain of images per secods. which is FPS. Refresh rate (Hertz) is a mechanical function of display that dictates how many times it refreshes a what ever is on the screen, image video, just single picture etc.. regardlessly if app has good or bad Frames.
You can look at a single picture at 60 or 90Hz but not at 60 or 90 fps because its just one image or one frame. Reading is a big tool

This is wrong. A poorly performing app and screen refresh rate are completely independent of each other. With this phone, the entire screen is switching to 60Hz with some third party apps. This makes the app less smooth as well as the OS in general (e.g. pulling down the status bar to view notifications). I really hope OnePlus fixes this soon, as it defeats the purpose of having a 90Hz display if it keeps switching to 60Hz.

There is nothing that developers of standard apps that use standard framework (not NDK) can do as there is no public API for that at all.
There is abstraction layer and apps do not need to deal with things related to physical capabilities of the screen, such as display refresh rate.
OnePlus already uses some auto switching logic for refresh rate, e.g. during video playback. The thing is their implementation is currently not perfect as they seem to be switching
to 60Hz even for videos not playing in fullscreen mode. So e.g. when you scroll FB and video comes into view, screen switches to 60Hz which is not OK (the same applies to web packages with embedded video).

120hz not stable

my phone sometime 60hz but my settings 120hz
Some applications will not flow smoothly.

Hi
I have the same feeling : Mario Kart looks like smoother in 60 hz rather then 120hz. It's just a feeling, I have no proof about it.

its not just the apps
they use dynamic refresh rate and it means the refresh rate changes in order to save battery
I notice lags even when I do basic things like opening the recent apps menu or opening some apps, this **** is so annoying....

Dynamic refresh rate

I hope poco adds a feature to turn off dynamic refresh rate. Coz it affects the fps of the games. Like literally affects the performance that is not compatible with dynamic refresh rate. Even if you set it to 60hz it throttle sometimes to 30. Which maybe the culprit in playing games like call of duty mobile. I hope the devz will read this anyhow. Thank you

Realme X7 pro 90fps pubg

Hi . In realme X7 Pro, 120Hz is not compatible with all applications such as PUBG, and it automatically returns to 60Hz. Is there a way to make it stay 120hz at all times.

FPS is always capped: by
1. GPU ( the more powerful the graphics card the higher its FPS )
2. Monitor Refresh Rate ( a 60Hz monitor allows only 60 frames / second displayed even if FPS produced by GPU is 120Hz )
AFAIK default FPS on Adroid is 60Hz

That's right, but it happened with realme x2pro and they sorted it out. I don't know if there is a solution with X7 Pro

The Realme X7 Pro features a Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
So, check whether there is any setting options in those apps in order to stay 120hz at all times.

I think it needs to be flashed. Or we wait for future updates

Even when entering the 90fps file in the data or using gfxtool, it is not accepted. Because the problem in the phone system does not remain 120hz even though it is not in the automatic mode

I think Realme X7 Pro with Mediatek Dimensity 1000+ chipset comes with an inbuilt option to change the display refresh rate. Not sure about it.

Accelerometer Sampling Rate

Hey Guys,
I am working on an App that should measure vibration data with the integrated accelerometer.
My integrated MEMS sensor should be capable of up to 6.6kHZ measurements (LSM6DSO).
Usually it is capped at 200 Hz (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/understanding-sensor-rate-limitations-in-android-13/) for high sanpling rate.
I have few questions regarding the Sampling Rate of sensors in Android:
Can this limit set higher?
Do I have to adjust the internal kernel clock (I think usually it is set to 250 Hz in Linux Kernels)?
Thank you !

1. I think NO.
2. The max CPU-speed can get queried / should be available from the dmidecode tool.
