Video at 60fps? - HTC U11+ Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have played with the U11+ for a couple of days by now, making many tests, but something that got my mind was the fact that the video at 60fps is not 60fps, and is not even close.
I have tried to record in [email protected], but all the videos come in really low fps, around 30-35. I can immediately notice that is not even changing the fps when I change the mode, and with the output is the same.
Someone with similar experiences?.
Thanks!

Is it was in day sun or at night ?
I think the frames will drop at night but night as much as 30-35 fps
Make sure you have selected 60fps in camera options

As I said, the option is selected and I have tested both in daylight and night.
Frames shouldn't drop that much, because what's the point to choose the option of 60fps if it will record at 30fps?.
I think is a bug of the camera.

Video Recording low light FPS

I noticed that the fps with the Droid mini/maxx/ultra when in low light conditions Hovers around 15fps... Whats mind boggling to me is phones i've had in the past (htc evo 4g lte for example) Held a solid 28 - 30 fps in the same low light conditions with now outdated hardware. I did have a droid 3 back in the day and once rooted you could change a line of code and set min low light fps to 25. Im wondering what work arounds, if any, are there to improve the fps of videos recorded in low light situations.
If I had to guess(I will) its extending the exposure time for each frame.

How long can you shoot a video with your Z3?

I was shooting my friend's dance performance at a show a few days ago, I tried filming 2 video ahead, each with 1 minute long, then let the phone settle for 1 minute and start shooting my friend's dance, it only lasted 1 and half minutes then it showed temperature too high force close, after a minute I started shooting again around 1 minute and 20 seconds the camera force closed. The whole filming was on 1080P, storage is SD card, class 10, is this normal? I remember when I use my older phone, I can shoot 10 minutes no problem. What is your guys' average? Thanks.
Hey, how much your phone heat after it shutdown camera?
I had same problem but my phone heats up to 75C, so i found a way to disable thermal control. but high temperature may damage your phone / battery and do it with your own risk.
With this method i recorded 15 minutes 1080P @30fps video without any damage but temp rised to about 80C.
Here is my solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/microphone-camera-problems-d6633-t3271431

4k 60FPS video recording limited to 5mins

smooth UHD is limited to 5 mins in length is the notification I get while using the camera to record video at 4k 60 FPS, 4k 30fps also is limited to 10mins in length.
Any way to bypass that?

Google camera can only record 4k at 30fps while OnePlus camera can also record at 60fps

But you could record in 4k/30fps without any problem, instead of trying the OnePlus camera..
Even some high end DSLRs do this because recording in 4K generates a lot of heat, so they limit you to prevent damage to the device. It's not recommended to bypass that limit.

Just like another 10 mins would be enough , I won't shoot 2hrs 4k movies.

Oh, I get ya, believe me. Just stating the logic behind it
Any solution?
just like someone said before.... shooting 4k 60fps longer then 5/10 minutes will heat up the device and will degrade the battery

Anyone else not particularly impressed with 120hz refresh rate ?

Been using the phone for 24 hours now, don't really see much point in the 120hz rate, only notice it slightly smoother if scrolling up and down quickly.
I guess it's more for games (?).
I will stick with 60hz and save some battery, seems fine to me.
The 120hz are very good, the problem is that there are so many lags and frame drop.

same here, turned it off... 60hz is fine... 120hz impact on battery is not worth it
I'm more interested in its 240Hz touch sampling rate...
I think the screen response time is around 4-5ms which makes the image smear and not take advantage of the 120hz
I absolutely love the 120hz. I have the Mi 9T with 60hz here for comparison, and the handling on it feels just awful now. Terribly stuttery. I don't play any games, just scrolling all day long on Reddit.
No idea how you can still use 60hz voluntarily. I also get 10h SOT at 120hz, so battery is really not a problem.
Yes 60Hz / 120Hz on the daily usage is noticeable in things like scrolling and some animation, but I can live without it.
On gaming is a completely different story, is a lot noticeable. I'm really not a mobile gamer but installed the old Max Payne (one of my all time favourite games) for the dead times and it's a hell of a difference between 60Hz / 120Hz.
As a 60Hz PC peasant right now, I prefer look at Max Payne in my phone that at my PC! :laugh:

Same, the difference is night and day . I will never go back to 60hz after this.
True 60hz is horrible after experiencing 90/120 Hz I have a TCL 10 pro with a Amoled Display and comparing it with its 60hz the Poco X3 wins hands down for fluid even if it's not Amoled wish they had made it Amoled or Oled would of smashed any competition out of the water I would of even paid bit extra Lol , few things I've noticed are bit choppy is Google feed and play store when scrolling but prob don't support 120hz yet it's the same on my OnePlus 8 pro even
Hopefully future updates will iron out the niggles but for the price I'm blown away with it so far only gripe is LCD is so dated now but then for the price it's expected is a little bit of light bleed at the bottom of display anybody else notice this ??? Or am I just unfortunate and have a bad one if so I can get it replaced with Amazon ,[emoji106]

Same problem here, the Google feed seems to run at 60hz. The drawer also semms to drop some frame, isn't amoot as the home page.
If you are interested, you can check the current refreshrate and fps in any app by going into the developer settings --> power monitor --> press "start" on Frame Rate Monitor Tools.
I always have to press the start button twice, then it shows the current fps in green. Current refreshrate is shown with blue background.
The adaptive refreshrate works good in my opinion, e.g. in Youtube it quickly jumps down to 30hz / 60hz depending on the type of video.
Thx for the monitor tip!
You are correct with YouTube running on 60Hz.
But it is strange that the poco launcher is constantly running on 120fps without touching the screen.
I switched to nova launcher. Same results
They haven't implemented it very well. It felt better on the realme 6 and x50. The recents and Google page feels like 60

Mario Kart average was about 115fps, menus locked at 30
For the ammount of battery that 120hz chugs it's not worth it for me
I've also tried with this tool, and i've seen major frame drop in the home screen, like 115 to 100 is a second, and thats the moments you can see the stutter. The multitask menu runs at 90hz, and youtube and google discover at 60. But there is an issue, this phone never reach the 120hz, except when in idle, and this frame variations make the user experience way "laggy": it would be a good idea to lock the fps at 100hz, but very stable, than a continously dropping and false 120hz.

Is there a method to lock the refresh rate?
Actually no.
https://youtu.be/JZNnB3JYhNA
This guy seems to have a method to lock the rate at 120hz, on all apps untill a phone is rebooted.... have tried yet
I can't see 120Hz Slow, unrealistic screen. HDR looks like old display. Whit yellowish, green photos.

96Hz mode

Came across this Note 20 Ultra thread for a secret 96Hz mode:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...es/note-20-ultra-secret-96hz-display-t4149657
Downloaded the Labs app from the OP and it's working perfectly. Not noticing a significant difference in smoothness and after a full charge cycle my active drain is down about 30% (ymmv).

I've been pretty consistently getting about 6 hours SOT the first week with my normal routine/setup (Wi-Fi only, adaptive smoothness, rarely over 50% brightness) mainly using the inner screen. Not bad, I assume, for a device like this. With 96Hz so far it seems to be stretching that out close to 9.
What is the point in this since the inner screen has a refresh rate of 120Hz?
EDIT: Ah never mind, it is to prolong battery life, I see.
Btw for those of you who might want to test if this works, you can go to "https://www.displayhz.com/" and see it there. I recommend to use the Quick Tiles for toggling between 120Hz and 96Hz so that you can see it going into effect (in both ways).
It works perfectly
It saves battery without loss of quality
Thank you!
Hello,
is after this mod,the smaller front screen also working with 96hz?

Obviously not because the front screen is only up to 60Hz, so how do you think that would work??

Thanks much, this app is better; nice to have the fps overlay toggle too.
The app above works 100%. Thank you for providing the link. Will be sure to use when I'm below a certain battery %.
Call me insane, but I can genuinely see the difference between 96hz and 120hz. Having used 144hz+ monitors to game for the better part of a decade, I guess I'm used to high refresh displays.
Brief update: I've uninstalled the app.
I noticed my battery life actually got significantly worse because I tend to run the phone at 120hz. Being on YouTube/twitch a lot, I typically don't need 120hz but the app forces 120hz rather than allowing it to drop to 30hz or 60hz when I'm watching content.
I hope there aren't any adverse affects.. actually - I'll likely just factory reset it and start fresh.

Battery life was worse at 96hz. Dies the app LOCK the display at 96hz or does it set max 96hz?

You guys should use the newer version which is made for the Note 20 Ultra, which sets the Refresh Rate to a variable instead of locking it, because that is the exact problem. I also used the first one to begin with, which locked the Refresh Rate at 96Hz instead of allowing it to be variable. If you use the one for the Note 20 Ultra (posted a page back) instead, you will see that it should work much better.

I did use the one linked at the bottom of the first page, and didn't see any options for a variable refresh rate? Two quick setting options appear which allows me to toggle 120hz, 96hz, and 60hz, and the other setting is to see the current fps. And I recall when I open the app, there wasn't anything there apart from a bit of text? Kind of don't want to install it to avoid messing with settings since battery life is pretty important.
Edit: I see that the app does force 60hz after a certain amount of time (on its own volition). That being said, my battery life got significantly worse so I'll stick to stock for now.

It's just the stock system behavior.
96hz max mode just limit the ramping up of refresh rate to 96hz instead of 120hz. Your battery life being worse probably due to other factor/s.
I did like the 96HZ Mode...............It saved battery...and works on requirement
I found something interesting with this mod.
It works all good, you can set the max hz refresh rate to 96 and the behavior its the same as stock, it takes more or less the same time when the screen is idle to drop to 60, and the smoothness you loss from 120 to 96 its not much noticeable
I found something thay maybe is misworking
When you are on youtube (vanced app in this particular case) and you are seeing a 60fps clip, the stock refresh rate goes to 60hz like the video was at 30 or 24, but if you set the 96hz mode it never drops to 60
This could be a problem if you watch a lot of youtube at 60 fps and could affect somehow to battery life, which is the thing we are trying to improve
With other videos or apps i havent noticed any problem
Thanks

That's not what I'm experiencing. Using the Note 20 Ultra version, refresh rate drops to 60hz when watching videos in Vanced with 96hz maximum adaptive rate. I was going to post a screenshot but every time I touch the screen the refresh rate jumps back up (which is expected behavior).

Are they 60 fps videos? In case they are it has to be specified in the settings where you switch the resolution...
Other videos works perfect for me, even in Vanced
Btw, im using the last update of the app
