Is there any way to limit our phones fps to 30?
It would be like 30fps = better battery life
Propably less heat?
Can it be done?

So I was scrolling through my phones statistics when I noticed that the screen refresh rate was at .1hz which got me a little puzzled seeing as it's supposed to be at 60hz. I was wondering what effect this has on my phone exactly and if there was a way to get it back to 60hz. Also I'm using the gb fps uncap if that helps
This is a stupid answer, but if it works fine, I'm sure it's just a glitch, and it's actually 30-60Hz.
You don't notice .1 Hz do you...would be kind of unusable I think...
So.....I feel like a noob asking, but what does FPS stand for?
And what is the difference between FPS capped and FPS uncapped?
lol small question
First person shooter. Modern warfare 2 anyone?
Trigger 3.2
Frames Per Second. When the FPS is capped it means the phone can only display games/videos at a certain FPS and it may look a little choppy. When FPS is uncalled, the FPS is as fast as the phone's hardware will allow.

Thank You!
Also note that at present any ability to achieve over 60 fps is just for bragging rights. I don't know of any game or video content that runs at more than that. Movies are typically either "24" or "30" fps. I use quotes because that 30 is actually 29.98 or 29.97, IIRC, and 24 isn't 24 either.
The point is, if your phone does 60, it's plenty.
yup we use 30fps here in the USA because of the electricity frequency is 60cycle per sec (60÷2). This is called ntsc......... other places in the world electricity frequency is 50 cycle per sec so.........**drum roll** their fps is 25 (50÷2) Just interesting FYI
In our phone record it is not as important because the system they are using is flash
I seriously think that the transformer prime has a software fps limiter. Such as Sync to vblank or sync to refresh rate. <-- they are the same thing... because on the prime Every game/benchmark I get exactly 60 fps. This is the normal refresh rate of most monitors/screens. This is also normal for vblank to max out and stabilize at 60 fps. So my question is how do we turn it off. I have seen some settings in build.prop for qualcomm devices but nothing for the tegra 3. Anyone have any ideas on how to un-limit the GPU?
bump. interesting topic, ill stay tuned to see how this turns out.

I would not doubt it if it was limited. There is no sense in going any higher than 60 fps on a 60hz display. Also good for saving battery and performance.

true but if we unlimit it then we can brag about having more fps than the apple ipad 3
Well, it would change any benchmark scores based on the graphics grunt.
It could decrease the gap between Tegra 3 and others, but would be a waste of battery in everyday use.
I don't think we could uncap it tbh, the display drivers are closed source blobs, IIRC.
FPS?
Its 90 by default. Should I lower it save battery life? If yes how much?
A YouTuber recently done a video regarding does switching to a lower resolution actually save you battery. The answer? NO! It's just a myth.

I just saved 15% on battery life by switching to a lower resolution.
I just shutoff my phone and i saved 100% of my battery

Did you switch it to a lower resolution after turning it off though?
I didn't bother looking at the video sorry but, reducing the resolution does help with battery life, just not in a direct way.
When you're just browsing social media or replying to emails having a higher/lower resolution does nothing, as its mostly the CPU doing the heavy lifting here, but when you're watching videos or playing games, lowering the resolution will result in less GPU usage and sometimes also the CPU, which in result would consume less power.
For regular daily use the resolution won't make much of a difference, but if you're someone who consumes lots of Netflix or HDR videos, maybe play games like Pubg, fortnite or whatever a lot, you'll appreciate the little extra minutes lowering the resolution would give you, not to mention the extra performance that comes with it, as the GPU has less pixels to calculate.
The same concept applies to computers as well, its actually what Im basing my explanation on, but to get a precise results you'll have to do some tests/benchmarks with controlled variables.
If you play lots of games or watch lots of videos, you might wanna have the resolution at 1080p, otherwise 1440p will do just fine, the difference isn't that huge unless you're constantly forcing the GPU.
You wont with normal use. But you will with playing games at lower resolution, not to mention having a better frame rate!
Dont believe it. Try to play F1 mobile racing for about 1 hour and you will see!
