Can the refresh rate be set to 60Hz or 120Hz (not auto switching) - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Hi,
Does this phone have the ability to set the refresh rate to 60Hz with LineageOS?
Is there something like this:
Settings > Display > Advanced > Minimum refresh rate
where you can set the refresh rate to 60Hz? If someone has LineageOS installed on this device could you take a screenshot of the setting page?
I have read that there are problems with 120Hz and using dark mode. Here is an article that discussed this: https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_8t-review-2183p3.php
I am looking for mainly extra battery life.

only 120 but seem scale automatically

You can also force 120hz all the time through adb

Is there a way to force 60hz all the time though adb as well or only 120hz?

So is there a setting under display at all or is there no setting at all?

When you do 60hz it's locked at 60, if you do 120 it'll be variable so usually 120 but drops to 60hz when you're on a stationary page. If you want to lock it at 120 then you'll need to do adb commands, I used joneolus tools. Look up how to use it in YouTube, I found a great tutorial that'll walk you thru the commands

Has anyone figure method(s) to Force 120Hz display yet ?

Has anyone figure method(s) to Force 120Hz display yet ? The dynamic refresh rate in both auto and 120Hz mode is now, the only thing on this phone bothers me so much.
EU rom (under display and brightness) has the option to choose : "Auto Select"; "120Hz" or "60Hz" in Screen Refresh Rate

That's true, however, OP points out the fact that even at "120 Hz" setting the phone does some sort of battery saving stuff like optimizing the refresh rate based on applications used, battery level etc.
Which is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong - saving battery when the app (or user) don't benefit from 120 Hz setting is a pretty useful stuff. But then it should not be called "120 Hz" mode but rather "Light Adaptive mode" or something.
Btw Oneplus 8 Pro has even more aggressive approach to this, it literally switches to 60 Hz when you don't touch the screen, back to 120 Hz for two seconds when you touch the screen and then reverts to 60 Hz.
This is the reason why Oneplus 8 Pro is so good in all 120 Hz battery drain tests because, basically... it almost never runs it. This should not be called 120 Hz even though I fully appreciate the battery saving mechanism.
You can check here whether Oppo Find X2 Pro stays at 120 Hz (fps) or switches to 60 Hz right after you touch it like Oneplus: https://www.testufo.com

Thanks for clarifying my point. In addition, OnePlus's high refresh rate displays can be forced to run at the constant value via ADB method but I have no clue for an OPPO's. I don't understand that why OPPO provides both 120Hz and auto refresh rate options but perform exactly the same.

Sorry if I misunderstood. I've used the website suggested and my x2 pro remains at 118-120hz throughout ?

Try it on browser like Microsoft Edge or Chrome Dev. Those browsers are limited at 60Hz while I can force run my OnePlus 8's at 90Hz all time via ADB.

I try something via adb
adb shell settings list secure
And I found this
coloros_screen_refresh_rate=3
3 = 120hz
2=60hz
0=Auto
But I cant put any number because android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS not granted
Maybe, just maybe, if you can put it to another number ( like 1 or 4 ), you can force 120hz on Oppo Find X2/X2Pro

Tried this, was able to put both 1 and 4 and unfortunately, it's not forced at 120Hz. Now it's the dead end haha.

ps. 1 is fake 90Hz mode and I have no idea with 4 and beyond.
ps.2 you have to disable permission monitoring in dev options first in order to set those settings.

Oh I really forgot that option :cyclops:
BTW, There's some command like auto_switch and frozen_time, while Find X2/X2 Pro are using an adaptive 120hz, so any ideas ?

Will try that as soon as I can
Sad that a 120hz phone only runs 120hz in a few apps, my Moto edge is 90hz in almost every app as I can see, Razer phone was 120hz in every app or you could force an app to run 120hz if it wasn't already, sad
If you want 120Hz in more apps you have to enable O1 Ultra Vision on 120Hz. 1080p only though.
That will make apps like IG smoother and YT in 120Hz.

Update, I tried to config those two commands with no success
hope to run 120hz every app
Most apps are not optimized for running at 120hz yet, it's down to individual apps, when you set it to auto only the user interface and oppos apps run at 120 but all other apps run at 60, basically some apps do some apps don't , not oppos fault

The ultra vision only adds frames on to the video that your playing that's all, doesn't smooth out the actual app

That is not true. YT is normally only 60Hz to save battery for example. With O1 it has to be on 120Hz as the actual video is also interpolated to 120Hz. Try it out for your self.

App for changing refresh rate (max = 60hz)?

Is there an app for older devices (before the use of 90hz and above in today's phones) that can change the refresh rate from 1hz to 60hz or something like set options like 30hz/45hz/60hz?
Xiaomi mi mix 1
Android 11 custom rom with root
Refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), is how quickly a display can refresh an image. Wondering why you want to narrow down phone's default refresh rate?

Main reason is battery saving. I have also read that upcoming (or already released) oppo phones will have adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1hz to 120hz so I was wondering if there's a way to do that in older devices with root?

Question Adaptive refresh rate is enabled or not ?

Basically it's more than a week I'm using the device and when I enabled "show refresh rate" ( via developer option) , I noticed that the fps is stuck at 60/120 . POCO mentioned that it's an smart display so the adaptive refresh rate must be enabled by default . Isn't it so ? Or am I wrong ?
Is the fps count same for everyone ? I mean the rate is fixed no adaptive refresh rate is present? Pls let me know if there is any option/method to enable adaptive Refresh rate (without unlocking BL )?
You have selected 120hz iin display setting ? I have poco x3 pro but when watching youtube is going back to 30/60 hz and in home page 120hz.

When 120 Hz enabled then it goes to 60 (only for YouTube)
I'm generally using it on 60 Hz mode and no drops in refresh rate (never seen 30hz) . I was saying that , will it drop to 1hz when there is no interaction on screen
No to 1hz that only for 865 and up devices

Never goes on 1hz when no interaction. Must be enabled on 60/120hz, and is not enabled for now...
No?

There is no adaptive refresh rate in this, atleast not on my Poco x3 PRO. If they said there would be they lied haha

Question Adaptive refresh rate

Hi All, this is my first phone with a variable refresh rate so I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour.
My adaptive refresh rate seems to only stay on 2 values, either 24hz when I'm looking at the screen eg reading, or 120hz when the screen is in use eg scrolling. It doesn't go to anything in-between 24-120.

Hello mate long time ... I think that's the way it works, I've been using a variable refresh rate app on my flip 3 and if I set it to 60-120hZ they are the only 2 values shown

Hey mate, hope all is well. Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear it's normal behaviour, disappointed though as I thought that the phone was able to scale anywhere between 1-120hz depending on the situation. Not just switch between 24 and 120! I'll check out the app you've linked!

Question 12s ultra LTPO problem (refresh rate) in EU ROM

I think the LTPO2 is not working properly on eu rom currently im on last update 13.0.11 and i can see that the refresh rate is not going to 1fps in main menu or in settings, the frames going only low to 90fps in Facebook and i think this draining a lot of battery. Could you check on your phones how it is, go in developer settings and enable "show refresh rate" to see do you have this problem as well and if there is any solution for that, thanks

Adjust brightness.
Screen in FHD+ 60Hz
Minimum brightness: stay at 60
Brightness in the middle: goes to 30
Maximum brightness: goes to 10
With any other settings, the minimum reached is 10.
Surely a particular scenario is needed to reach 1.
You were going to 1 with the stock rom?

Thank you for information, i have never used the phone with stock CH ROM, but now i have realised the brightest is the main thing as well, thanks and it works alright
