So,
Today I was messing around with GO Launcher EX and GO Locker, and I didn't like the performance, at all...so I did a search and found an app called spare parts that was supposed to help the animation speed, after a while of messing around, I noticed that my display wasn't nearly as bright as it was an hour ago. I checked and made sure that the display brightness setting was set to 100%, and that auto-adjust screen power was turned off, and the display was still about half as bright as when I started today.
How can I test if I messed something up? Or is this normal for a AMOLED display? Is there an app I can download that will force the brightness to go to 100%, to see if some app is messing with it? What the heck is going on.
Emmmmmooooo rrraaagggeee!!!
So I got a app that controls brightness , and in fact confirmed that the default controls were only boosting brightness to around 80 percent. What can affect the settings like this? Using automatic brightness, or changing the brightness through anything but this app leaves the screen dimmer than it normally is. I can't even use the touchwiz settings widget.
Interesting.
So, to further report on this odd behavior,
After further investigation, the brightness with auto-brightness seemingly drops light output further than the "0" setting in my brightness app, and further than the slider allows manually adjusting via the settings>display panel. Odd.
So,
I disabled all auto-brightness via the settings in the TouchWhiz apps (read: the browser and the video/audio player), and was just controlling brightness via the app I installed.
Later today, i turned on auto-brightness again via the Power Saving widget, and the issue where the screen dims farther than any manual settings allowed was gone. Again, i only have an issue with max brightness now-- using both the system settings panel to adjust brightness as well as using auto-brightness via both the power saving widget as well as the system settings panel.
So, in summary: the max brightness issue remains, and i can only set it to about 80% without using the brightness app i installed (the app allows me to set it to 100%....where as in the system settings, the slider goes to 100%, and stays at 100%, but the screen looks like its at about 80%. Using the brightness app i installed allows me to boost it back to 100%, but as soon as i change the brightness in the system settings app, or the power saving widget, it maxes out at 80. The slider moves all the way to 100%, but i'm only getting 80% brightness).
Note:
I have no apps installed that affect brightness...0. None of my apps have anything remotely having to do with the display, audio, or it's settings.
Maybe you can help me?
I turned off the auto brightness in the system settings/display/brightness but it seems that the screen starts to dim (sometimes). I hate this...I have to touch the screen to retain brightness. I don't want auto dimming...I want the level I set (which is about half way on the slider).
Where can I find a master override?

Adjust screen timeout. This happens when your screen is going to automatically turn off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Thanks... I'll check it out.
Also in display settings uncheck "auto adjust screen power"
Was there ever a solution to this? I am now starting to get this issue of screen will not respond to 100% brightness...and the option to change display brightness is greyed out in settings. It seems to be a problem with 'power savings' which I would like to completely remove from my phone as even when I turn it off, it is keeping me from adjusting my screen brightness when below 20% battery...and with my 5400 mah battery 20% is a full 8 hour day left...really irritating...only way to solve is to charge above 20%...or go enable power savings, then disable it again...but problem returns every time the screen goes off.
So i just got the official update today and i just updated my poco f1 to 10.2.2.0 and here's my short review. Do read this if you wanna consider to update or not.
1. The new slow mo 960fps has flickering issues so its literally impossible to use. Or is it only me?
2. Theres a new option at the top screen "Cleaner - Security scan - Deep clean - Manage apps" in recent apps screen which imo, makes it look less minimalistic and ugly.
3. Battery? So far so good. Havent tested it in pubg yet or full day use yet so i cant give my full opinion yet. I'll update this after this 3 days.
4. Theres a new options in Notification & Status bar in settings>Show icons for incoming notifications. Which basically will show your notification icons on the left status bar then after 2 seconds it goes back to showing the clock which is dumb. Why dont they just give us the options to show notification icons permanently instead of clock.
5. The hide notch option in settings is still gone.
6. Theres a new Night mode in camera, but really, they dont work as well as pixel 3 night mode. When you take a pic using night mode in completely darkness, the pic result will be completely dark, unlike the pixel 3. So dont hope too much on the night mode on miui camera.
Thats all so far my review. Will udpate this thread if i found anything new. Please share your review as well.
Hello,
regarding (1): are you in sunlight or in artificial light?
960 fps is way higher than the power line frequency (50 Hz, 60 if you are in the US) so if you shot in artificial light you are basically getting flicker from your lamp.
In direct sunlight you should have no flickering at all.

Nope. Still no difference.
I also only notice flicker in artificial light. Moreover, the flicker is much less noticeable in the actual video than it is on the screen while recording.
So, I've tested this phone for a while now and saw that something was up with the refresh rate of the display. I use Nova Launcher and I could tell that it wasn't as smooth as their own launcher, or the system settings for example. In developer options I turned on the "show refresh rate" toggle and the values were weird, to say the least. When it is operating at 120Hz and everything is smooth, it shows the number 10, but when I go to Nova Launcher, or Reddit Sync for example it shows 60. All of this only happens on the Auto mode, but that is the point of the LTPO Display, so it can work its magic. So as it seems the software doesn't show correctly when its running in 120Hz mode. Also, I would very much like to have Apps that I deem worthy run in 120Hz mode too, not just the ones it chooses by itself.
Strange. My phone is working like it should. Shows 10 fps when the screen is not moving. Shows 120fps as I start moving. I also tested YouTube and videos show the correct fps. 30 fps and 60 fps depending on the video.

Mines exactly the same
well Imma guess that it's something related to me importing my old backup, cause that messed up the AOD too (doesn't matter what I do, it won't turn on)

Is there any app that can adjust this per app? I also use some apps that only run at 60hz

In principle, the level of brightness that you have on influences, manual brightness, I think that from 80-85% brightness it goes from 5 to 1 in refresh rate. I put a capture.
Definitely to do with brightness
At lowest brightness on auto refresh rate, it seems to never drop below 120hz except in certain apps like maps where it'll go to 60hz.
But if I put brightness at about 30%, it can drop to 10hz.
So I wonder what's more battery efficient 0% brightness at 120hz or 30% brightness at 10hz
When in a dark environment, and forced into the 120Hz mode, the LTPO panel’s power consumption isn’t all that different from an LTPS panel ~180mW power penalty that is present at all times, even on a black static screen, because of 120 Hz. That penalty comes from the measured power, with 640 mW and 465 mW in the respective 120 and 60Hz modes. Under a brighter ambient conditions, the panel showcases its technology advantages, and power consumption drops drastically. In the 120Hz mode but with the minimum refresh rate now in the regular '48 Hz' setting, the power figure drops from 640mW to 428mW, which is a massive 220mW drop.

The phone operating under dark conditions seems to disable the 'seamless' variable refresh rate display, that allows the phone to go into lower frequency modes, but not in all circumstances

When it comes to the difference in the battery runtimes between running the phone in a dark or a bright environment, there are somewhat small difference. In the 60Hz maximum refresh mode, VRR/LFD gains the phone an additional 4% of battery life. In the 120Hz mode, we see a larger 8.5% jump in runtime.

I am having this issue also. I get only 60Hz with Nova but using default launcher I get 120Hz and it is adaptive.
So far I setting entire device at 120Hz but would prefer if there was option to enable adaptive working with Nova

The problem is not that the GT2 PRO does not have an option to enable adaptive refresh rate with Nova, the problem is that Nova is not fully optimized with Android 12.

It seems to be incorrect. In nova Discord, Administrator said Nova work well with LTPO 2.0 screen. And as far as I can see, all launcher I tested don't work with LTPO on realme GT 2 pro except default launcher...
Use set edit and put peak_refresh rate to 1 Also i added user_refresh rate to 1 and min_refresh rate to 1. Now is working 120 & variable rate in all app.

How? Can you explain a bit more about that?
Look here, marked with red in set edit app. Ignore my mistake on cameră, i was in hurry

It seem ok after reboot ! I don't know how you find this but good work. Thank you.
Edit : after few minutes nova go back to 60htz. System setting "peaking_refresh_rate" automatically go back to 60
Set your screen to 120 (High) in settings, and never change )
Will this just force 120hz or working LTPO for 3rd party apps?
Working ltpo, If You want only 120 enter same settings by adb.
Ok but what's exactly the point of your settings?
If I set 120hz always in settings, LTPO will also work and go down to 60-30-10hz if not touching the display
Lol, this is for apps with no 120hz support like camera, some browsers, other launchers, even some games
Hi,
I have the problem, that the refresh rate on the inner display keeps switching back to 60hz.
If I restart the phone unfolded und use it, the screen displays in 120hz. As soon as I close the device and use it again, scrolling is laggy and on 60hz (refresh rate in developer options still shows 120hz, but it's definitely 60hz).
The only way to make it work on 120hz again is rebooting unfolded, then it keeps on working again until it's folded again.
Can anyone confirm this too?
Hi,
I am having a realme gt2 pro global version(RMX 3301) Realme UI version 3.0. Build number RMX330_11_A.16.
I screen refresh rate is set to auto. and the screen is stuck with the max refresh rate of 120hz in almost all time. except for in a few apps where it reduces to 60 and once in a while to 30hz. Why the phone is not varying from (1 to 120hz) as it was advertised.
Any solution is appreciated.
Thanks
If it goes down to 30hz, your LTPO 2.0 screen is working. 1hz will only appear when you're not touching the screen and it's on and a static image is on it.
You have to disable in develop mode permission monitoring witch you enabled an forgot about.
Also do not forget that it is dependant on the level of screen brightness. The brighter your screen, the lower the refresh rate will go.
Maybe you where using third part app. Enable show screen refresh rate in developer options. That was also my mistake.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to refresh the topic. I have system version A13 RMX3301_11.C.11. In the screen options, the refresh rate setting is set to "auto". Out of curiosity, I turned on the option to "show the refresh rate" in the developer settings. Using only the launcher (stock realme) itself, I noticed that when the "disable permission monitoring" option in developer settings is turned off, the refresh rate on the screen varies ,depending on the brightness of the screen, from 1 to 120Hz. When "disable permission monitoring" is enabled, the screen refresh rate when using launcher is always 120Hz. I have not compared the this in other programs, but for example in chrome it goes down to 60/30Hz but in the launcher itself it is always 120Hz. This is weird to me, and I don't know if it's a bug or a feature. Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior or is it just me? Maybe someone knows a way to make the variable refresh rate active even when the "disable permission monitoring" option is turned on?
I use Nova launcher and at maximum brightness the value drops to 1.
Settings, Chrome and Google calendar checked and result also 1.
You have

And you have exactly the same behaviour when "disable permission monitoring" is on and off?
Where can I find it, I don't know what you mean.
settings -> additional setting -> developer options -> disable permission monitoring
Does not respond, goes to 120 Hz.
