Question Any way to actually "force peak refresh rate" - Google Pixel 6

Just checking in on the status of forcing 90hz. Was disappointed to find there was no way to do it when I purchased the phone.
Is there any way to actually force 90hz at this point? I find that it goes to 60hz about 30-40% of the time depending on type of use despite enabling "force peak refresh rate" in developer options, it's quite annoying.
Thanks

Try this one
Cheers

Not sure if other reply was an error but forcing 90Hz all the time is simple.
In Developer Options, scroll down to "Force peak refresh rate" & switch it on.
Probably good idea to also go to Settings|Display and turn off "Smooth display".

It still drops to 60hz in Maps and any app that uses the Camera. I don't think having smooth display disabled makes a difference when you use the developer option.

Not sure but you can try to set using
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 90.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 90.0

That's why I linked to the Optimization topic. The command you mentioned is written there, except use 120.0 (Pixel 6 Pro). On the Pixel 6 it will change to 90Hz or replace the 120.0 with 90.0
But the OP didn't even gave a feedback.

I have tried that. That is what I did with my OP7T but it doesn't work on the P6.

This issue is directly related to the Camera being used and Google Maps. I can't believe I am the only one talking about this. It drives me mad. I will literally pay someone to come up with a solution to this problem.
EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT!!
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 24.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 24.0

brightness is automatically reduced for certain apps

Hi all,
This is my first Huawei phone. I noticed that brightness of the screen will reduce (darken) for some apps, eg fb, chrome, dialer, even the auto brightness is unchecked. Do you experience the same?
It's a feature to prolong battery, all Huawei phones has it.

Yeah ok, thanks.
How do I get rid of the "feature"?
It's making the phone completely rubbish to use.
If I turn "Auto brightness" ON, the phone adjusts the brightness according to the lighting conditions around it (the screen does NOT go dim when launching apps).
If I turn "Auto brightness" OFF, the phone DIMS the screen when launching apps.
Come on HUAWEI!!! If I want the screen to auto adjust, I will set it to auto adjust.
I turned off auto brightness, toggled brightness to max and used the chrome browser. The brightness remains constant. No issues for me.

After update today to Oreo:
Same Problem with Huawei Mate 9 Update MHA-L29 8.0.0.361(C431)
It's A BUG not a feature.
After rebooting it`s okay and after standby and on again same problem again!
With Android 7 no problem!!!
Hi,
I had the same problem. In developer options I had "Force GPU rendering" enabled and that caused the issue.
Just disable it. Reboot the phone and it should be ok. When it does not help, "Restore default settings" in the developer options and reboot again.

Automatic Brightness Issues..
I have similar issue with the one wrote here in xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/brightness-automatically-reduced-apps-t3697589
That is even with the auto brightness ticked-off and smart screen feature also off, the screen will automatically dim after few seconds I opened the Facebook app for example.
I tried opening the Hi-Care app but it doesn't has this problem.
Can Huawei fix this very annoying bug soon?
I believe majority of users would not affected by this because they set their brightness less than 50%. But for those who prefer bright screen like me, this is extremely annoying feature even it said to help prolong battery life!
Thank you.
Would a custom ROM fix this issue ? Only reason I would root this phone ! Hopefully get one soon now that we have a custom recovery.
Can you try exempting from battery optimization? Search for "Configure Apps" in settings, go to special access, and then "Exempt from battery optimization"
I personally don't notice this issue, so I can't test it.
Try to disable "Increase Readability in Sunlight" at developer options
Same exact problem here on my Mate 10 Pro - first noticed it a couple days ago, after i had the phone for a day or two. It's a very slight change - I mainly notice it in Chrome and Facebook. Some apps do it, but not all. Basically, when you launch the app, the whites are normal brightness according to your set brightness, then within half a second, it dims just slightly - like 10-20%. Then if you press the home button, you can see a slight change again to normal brightness as the app fades out. Not the end of the world but still a bit annoying. I never noticed this with my Mate 9 (which didn't get Oreo yet). Would be nice to have a fix for this.

Did you restart your phone or do anything after? i changed the setting and don't see a difference - seems like it still does it.
Just compared to my son's mate 10 Pro and his screen is actually brighter on the Facebook app and all our settings are the same so must be different panel.

Bro, Switch off everything in Setting>>Smart Assistance.
Make everything to off, surely it will help you.
The "adaptive brightness" is bugged and dims the screen on certain applications, regardless of what options you have turned on or off. Huawei confirmed it is an EMUI issue. Who knows if they'll actually resolve it as they don't see it as a major issue.
It was major enough for me that I sold my Huawei Mate 10 after a few days.
i dont have it in 8.0.0.137. bug was present in 8.0.0.128. atleast for me. there is maybe sligt dim for like 5% in music sometimes and thats it as far as i can tell
Same issue here, tried many different fixes and attempts to disable it, still happens in all apps/games. It is noticeable immediately once the app/game has been launched.
It feels like a 10-15% decrease in brightness. Hopefully this is fixed in the next update.
Ps. I previously had the Mate 9, had the very same problem!!!

[GUIDE] Best Battery Life Possible

Hey there fellow modifiers!
I have gathered the best tips and tricks to get the best battery life on our loved LG G6.
All this methods were made on a H870S non rooted phone so anyone can do it.
Post gets constantly updated with more tricks, so keep coming!​
Reduce resolution to 1080p and adjust DPI for comfortable view: (AOD gets messy so you are better off disabling it)
1) Connect phone via adb and activate debugging.
2) Execute this command and select the resolution you want.
"adb shell wm size 1080x2160" THIS MAKES YOUR PHONE RUN IN 1080 NATIVE RESOLUTION.(tested and works wonders)
"adb shell wm size 720x1440" HAVEN'T TESTED THIS ONE, IF YOU DO COMMENT.
If you need the original resolution just run:
"adb shell wm size 1440x2880"
3) Run this command to adjust DPI(screen scaling).
"adb shell wm density 500" SLIGHTLY SMALLER.
"adb shell wm density 400" EVEN SMALLER. THE ONE I LIKE WHILE USING 1080P
"adb shell wm density 300" COULD WORK GOOD WITH 720P.
If you need the original resolution just run:
"adb shell wm density 640" THE ORIGINAL WITH 1440P.(or the three options on "app scaling are 544/640/720)
DON'T TOUCH APP SCALING BECAUSE IT WILL MODIFY THIS.
4) Reboot if needed.
​
Deactivate/Debloat the phone as much as possible.
Just go to settings > Apps and start searching for deactivable system apps.​
Secret menu
Disabling LDB
1) Open Dialer and type "*#546368#*870#" where "870" is your model number.
A "secret menu" should appear, if not search for your secret code.
2) Go to "SVC Menu"
3) Go to "LDB"
4) Untick the "enable". It should then say below it "MLT will not run after booting.
DON'T CLOSE THE MENU STILL.
Disabling Log Service.
1) Go back from the previous menu.
2) Go to "Log Service"
3) Tap 2 times on "Log enable". It should enable and then disable again all logs, cleaning them in the process.
4) Exit menu.​
Disable Always on Display.
Settings > Display > Always on Display.​
Disable Wifi/Bluetooth scanning while off.
Go to Settings > location> three dots > scanning > Bluetooth scanning and Wifi scanning.​
Disable "Find my Device" under Phone Administrators if you don't use it.
Settings > Fingerprints & Security > Phone Administrators​
Disable Excess "Trust Agents".
Settings > Fingerprints & Security > Trust Agents. (I personally never use nor "LG Face recognition" or "Smart Lock (google) so i disable them)​
Disable Alarming Flash if On.
Settings> Accessibility> listening> Alarming flash​
Use Greenify to "Doze" the Battery-Hog Apps.
Just download "Greenify" from play store and follow instructions given on app.​
Turn on Battery Saver.
AOD doesn't seem to work at 1080p

I don't really know, i disabled ir.
Screen-on drain at 1080p is 22.7%/hr, about 3% improvement over the original resolution. I can't upload my screenshot for some reason

Interesting... 2% during night with flight mode ON (about 8h). With AOD INm flight mode ON it takes during 8h 4%.
Do you have stock software and stock launcher (with or without dock?).
Can I run these commands in a terminal with root?
Thank you for this! lowering the resolution also seems to make the phone that little bit snappier. Any ideas how to fix recent apps list? it shows zoomed in previews (likely ignoring the set density). This also applies to AOD and boot up animation in my experience.

Yees, makes phone snappier. Have you tried rebooting? I set mt density to 400. I didnt even noticed multitask being ablittle zoomed in, i think it wont have a solution. Boot animation always happens, i remember my old lg g2 had that, nothing tondo with that. But in my opinion is worth.

Does someone know what LDB is good for? I tried googling it but found no real answer. I don't like disabling things I don't know the purpose of. Thanks for your guide btw!
Thanks. I will try it
Thought i'd add to this too:
Enable 'conserve memory'
Settings > Smart Doctor > Memory > 3 dots > Conserve memory
Select the apps you don't want running in the background.
This works so well. I usually get only 2-3 hrs of SOT with normal settings, but now i strongly believe i can easily reach around 5-6hrs with this method. Screen on avg used to be around 20%/hr, now its around 10%/hr which is astonishing. Thank you!

[APP][OPEN SOURCE]S20 Advanced Lockscreen - 48Hz while screen is off

S20 Advanced Lockscreen on Play Store
S20 Advanced Lockscreen on Github
Download size: less than 1MB
Requires root.
This app will switch to 48hz when screen is locked and to 120 when screen is unlocked.
Battery saving.
Added version 1.1:
App totally reworked.
Fixed crashes.
Removed toggle.
Much easier to use.
How to disable the notification:
pham_dang:
" I think he meant when there is a notification coming --> your screen turns on = it immediately starts the high refresh rate (presumably you set it at higher than 60hz). Also when never you use Always on display, although it seems that just the clock or some notifications are showing on a completely black screen, the screen still has that high refresh rate (because you set it system-wide). What this app does is forcing the everything shows in the lockscreen and AOD to keep the refresh rate at 48hz (no matter what refresh rate you set your system at). Hope this cools down the heat guys "
Simple explanation:
-pressing power button while screen is unlocked will trigger 48hz.
-pressing power button while screen is locked and mostly black will trigger 120hz.
-anything that happens after pressing the power button (while unlocked) will be displayed in 48hz (AOD,charging status,notifications,call UI,etc).
TO DO:
Add settings so the user can choose the refresh rate to be set on SCREEN_ON (if asked).
I'm fairly sure that Samsung has 120hz implemented to be dynamic by default. 120hz on lineage feels very different because we don't have any of their OneUI parameters.
Just a hunch, I haven't really taken apart the OneUI ROMs.

The only way I could test this is by running one of my apps that reads the refresh rate from Android Studio while screen is off.The refresh rate remains the same when screen is closed.If 120 is set in settings,120 is always set (nothing dynamic).
I'm sure it feels better on your ROM.

The GitHub repository doesn't contain any code. It's just readme.md file. Can you share the code?

Hello,sure.The code is there,pay attention to what is written in readme file "Full project can be found on master branch."
https://github.com/TheViciousGames/S20-Advanced-Lockscreen-ROOT/tree/master
Fixed app crashes.The app will no longer crash after enabling the service.
"Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()" this was the error encountered.It's very common on stackoverflow.Finally fixed it.
If someone else has this problem,it was pretty easy to fix,all I had to do was to create a notification channel and a notification builder with an id higher than 0,basically creating a notification for the service.
New version will be released later today or tommorow.

I mean..you can change to 48hz using ADB but you cannot do that automatically while screen is off.
You would have to run the command manually (to 48 and to 120) 100 times a day,I think you do not want that

you can try something like that with bixby routines but just changing to 60hz
But, may I ask, what is the point of changing the refresh rate of the screen when it is off? I mean afaik when it is off, it already refreshes at 0Hz because, well, it is off.

Right,you could probably do that but I'm always debloating everything and 48hz is lower.

You're wrong,you probably wanted to say 0 FPS and not 0 Hz.Changing this helps with AOD,clock,notifications,etc,that's when the display is not really off.
EDIT:
I meant 1 FPS,because nothing is moving.
How does it save battery when the screen is off... the screen isn't refreshing at 120hz because its off already? Makes no sense to me?

You keep asking the same questions all over again. When the screen is off it still runs as a120hz screen. You could research how that works.

Question MIUI floating windows not working

I have a little bit of issue with floating windows on Redmi Note 10. If I disable MIUI optimisation, they don't work at all. When optimisation is enabled, I can normally use them, but always on display is limited for only 10 seconds. I've recently updated to MIUI 12.5.1 (RKGEUXM) and I thought, that it would fix the issue (the issue was already on 12.0.4). I also found out, that if you turn the optimisation on, then enable some app to floating window mode and then turn the MIUI optimisation off, then it will work, until I restart the device. Is there any way to enable both floating windows and have unlimited time for always on display and still be able to freely restart the device? Or any other way to enable unlimited always on display without turning off the optimisation? Please help.
I think You should definitely keep MIUI optimisation ON.
Not that it's a so good feature, but because it is so tightly linked to MIUI system that you will always get issues if it's disabled.
That said, you can disable Xiaomi's AOD and use one of the playstore apps that provides permanent AOD. Always on AMOLED could possibly be what you need

Same problem and I'm afraid there is no way but turning MIUI optimisation on.
For anyone still trying to fix the issue without enabling miui optimization: go to the developer options, scroll down to app section and enable "Any form of application window" or something like that. Fixed the issue for me

Question Refresh rate..

So I've had the phone for about 24 hrs now. Since early this morning I've had "show refresh rate" enabled in developer settings. It has, no matter what I'm doing or what content I'm watching, moved off of 60. I clicked "force highest rate" and nothing. Does anyone else find that strange?
Sticks at 60, even when you scroll fast on a webpage?

That is not just strange but is annoying I guess. Just looked at mine and it shows 90 when I scroll or touch the screen and goes to 60 when I am not doing anything.
Hope you get that resolved. cheers

I have the same issue, restarting didn't fix it.
What's weird is, when I select "Show refresh rate" in the developer options, it shows 90Hz while the phone is laying on the table not showing anything (AOD on or off, doesn't make a difference). But as soon as I pick up the phone it goes back to 60. WTH google?!

Tried that, doesn't do anything.
Hi!
Habent seen your thread... I opened another one...
NO 90Hz... 60 Hz constantly... 90 Hz only on the Lockscreen
Hi there, I have a question... obviously. I've activated 90 Hz and dont see any difference to 60. Then I activated the Developer Options and started the option to see the refresh rate. I also forced the display to do so - however.. No change -...
forum.xda-developers.com
Please look into that. One user posted an issue at the google support page.
Pleas upvote
Cheers!
