Hi all, wondered if you could shed some light on this situation, I'm not sure if it's my device UK or a software issue. So when I select 120hz some apps are not silky smooth when scrolling like YouTube for example, it's not true 120hz it's as though it's on auto adjust, but it isn't, home screen and some apps are 120hz but some apps aren't is this a app issue or a phone issue? Has anyone else experienced this?
Not all applications support 120hz, Google Maps comes to mind, pretty sure that's capped at 60hz, I remember reading a article about YouTube not supporting 90hz on OnePlus devices, maybe the YouTube application is also called out at 60hz, I'd confidently say it's probably the app rather than the phone

Its app specific, some apps have no caps some do
I have this issue too.
It seems like whenever a video is playing in whatever app, it will switch to 60Hz.
In Reddit for example, scrolling is very laggy.
If your refresh rate mode is set to auto, ColorOS decides what refresh rate to run on based on a list found at /system/etc/refresh_rate_config.xml
If you set the refresh rate mode to 120Hz, though, it should run at that refresh rate in most apps.

Same here, is pretty annoying because takes away all the smoothness feeling, although sometimes it doesn't happen and keeps working at 120hz, so random... Just wondering did you find anyway to avoid this to happen?
Hi guys,
I noticed the the adaptive refresh rate is not always accurate:
Example 1: Open Google maps and then push down the top notification bar to expand Android setting. Push it up and down and you will see that the refresh rate is low when pushung it up and down. If you quit maps then it will switch back to normal.
Example 2: Use built-in screen recorder. It will force 60hz refresh rate whilst recording. I ended up disabling it and downloading a third party screen recorder so form Google play store and that one worked perfectly and with 120hz during screen recording.
Example 3: Do a WhatsApp video call and then minimize that video to background. The screen will turn to 60hz and will only switch back to 120hz when WhatsApp video call is ended.
In some apps, it might start with 60hz and lag when scrolling but then switch to 120hz and make it smooth.
This is really annoying. Is there a way to force 120hz per app or turn it on permanently? There should be settings somewhere that decide when to do it.

It always goes back to 60Hz for certain apps like Maps, WhatsApp calls.. I don't think there is anyway to prevent that...
Doesn't bother me. No big deal.

Thanks. Its sad if course, hopefully it will be fixed with future firmware updates or folks will find a way to customise it per app. It should have something stored in the phone that will tell it when to switch.

***these marked features require a one-time ADB procedure (this is not root)
Galaxy Max Hz background service is highly optimized. Background battery usage p is very negligible .
Info:
This app targets older android sdk in order to control refresh rates without ADB setup or root. Just tap OK the dialog that says "This app was built for an older version of Android...." when opened for the first time. If OK button is not visible, just tap the blank space on the lowest portion of the dialog.
If google play protect will prompt during install that the app is built for older version of android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections, you can ignore it and proceed to the installation. For privacy related concern, please refer to FAQ No. 3.

All good, so far!
I noticed that the lowest refresh rate on stock was 24hz, and now with the app I am able to make it go to 10Hz, which is better
@tribalfs,
Unfortunately, when playing video in the background (i.e. Youtube Vanced in PIP mode) with 10Hz min adaptive refresh rate, the video starts lagging and gets choppy!
Also, Samsung TV Plus is not watchable with min 10Hz refresh rate, it is okay with 24Hz.

I'll check. But this is only happening on PIP mode right?

Yes, on PiP mode.
But, on all modes, including full screen for "Samsung TV Plus"!
Edit: also affects Netflix, Disney+ and Prime in full screen mode...refresh rate drops to 10Hz and video gets laggy/choppy.
Youtube seems to be fine though.
First app I downloaded. Great work my n20u worked flawlessly. On my s22u and the improvement is small but significant. Not touching the screen whilst playing video it seems to hit 10hz and low framerate videos. There's a work around using bixby but not ideal. Can I add video playback to a whitelist?

Thank you.
Still dropping to 10hz in fullscreen. The pip seems to be dropping to only 24hz which seems better. Is something different from the N20u?

It's working fine for me now.
Refresh rate drops to 24Hz now for Netflix, Disney+ and Prime.
Note: I cleared data then updated the settings again.

Same thing. Also noticed choppy behaviour in simple animations such as loading circle in different apps. It's as if it wouldn't raise the frequency fast enough and got stuck in 10 Hz

edit
nm, i didnt see the new stuff at the bottom for it.
gonna buy you coffee for the premium after the trial is up, nice app
Been playing with this
When I have it in adaptive mode, and any videos are playing if it drops below 120 everything its choppy and laggy.
I'm using the latest version downloaded off the web page.
Plex is laggy at anything but 120 and it drops to 10 real fast.
Video in games gets choppy on adaptive and the rate drops to 10.
Do i have something configured wrong?
for rght now I set it to high with everything else going to power save/10 when the screen is in AOD.
The rate doesn't really seem to make a difference unless I'm watching stuff so far.
I'll see how the battery life is with it set to 120 all the time when the screen is on while I use it, and 10 when I lock it with the AOD on.
Something odd is going on, I have it set to adaptive with
max 120
max 10 for power saving
min 60 for adaptive
it wont go below 120 now. BUT, if i set min 10 for adaptive it either does 120 or 10, nothing in between.
Powering off still works though, it shows 60, then hits 10, then the notification goes away.
the little status icon never drops under 120 now unless i have min set to 10.
What did I mess up or what do I do to fix it?

Are you using v7.14.33 ?
I can confirm that Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Samsung TV are working fine, refresh rate drops to 24Hz lowest with 10Hz min adaptive.
However, just tested an mp4 video and can confirm that refresh rate drops to 10Hz and video gets laggy (do not use Plex, so can't test).
Edit: playing YouTube in the browser also gets laggy as refresh rate drops to 10Hz.
Maybe best to keep the min adaptive refresh rate at 24Hz for now until all apps are optimised.

yep, 7.14.33. It also stopped changing rates except for 10hz and 120hz, it will not use anything inbetween unless that's the max setting.. So if I set the min at 24, it would only use 120 (or what ever I set the max to) and 24, nothing in between like it did when I first installed it. It's just strange. 60Hz standard is smooth too though, any lower is choppy with UHD and FHD streaming. So unless something is really screwed up with my apk install or the way it's configured I may use 60/120 adaptive then 10 for screen off.
I also cleared data/cache and reset everything with the same results.

Hello,
I have flashed a custom ROM (LineageOS) for my Motorola Edge 20 Pro phone. The only feature I miss from stock is the ability to set refresh rate for games to 120 or 140hz sometimes, otherwise I like my phone to be at 60hz for power savings. I turn off all animations anyway.
I tried to flash the Moto games apk which did this but sadly I get an error: "Package com.motorola.gamemode requires unavailable shared library moto-core_services; failing!"
I had a look on the play store and I couldn't find much. What options do I have if any?
Thank you
AFAIK a screen's refresh rate ( measured in Hz ) typically is fixed, unless device has a variable refresh rate ( VRR ) feature, e.g. 60-144 Hz.
With the moto app when games are detected it would up the refresh rate automatically.
I can set it to 120hz which is semi variable, if the screen brightness is high enough, but I don't really want 120hz etc for anything apart from games, I'd rather take the extra battery life!
