Hello, has anyone else been having a problem with hz selection? My phone is stuck on 60hz. I've tried changing the hz to 90, 120 and 165 but the display starts at 60hz . I used the UFO test site to confirm. I'm on the latest v4.12 firmware.
Thanks

You can force the refresh rate in developer options otherwise it will be all over the place depending on what you are doing and pretty annoying really.
Thank you! That worked

For normal use cases like scrolling through the UI it can hit 90hz for sure but instantly caps frames at 60hz whenever opening any game. I tried locking the screen at 90hz and keeping the battery at high performance mode , even disabling smart power saver. Is there a way to force games to run at 90hz?

Not unless the game itself supports 90hz

I made sure I tried out games that can run 90hz, and I'm pretty sure the phone can push said games to more than 60hz at the very least

Well... that's weird. This was with performance mode off and with intelligent power saver turned on.

Hmm not sure, for me its still stuck at 60. Is there some kind of settings you turned on by any chance?

Nope... None at all...
Download Setedit aka settings database editor app from Play Store
Search there for "peak_refresh_rate"
You will find the value according to your screen refresh rate
For me it is 120.0
Then edit the value & set the value to 1
And save it
Boom! Your device is ready to go ..
Note: The value will automatically switch back to normal if you restart your phone or switches screen refresh rate even also by turning on power saving mode.
Hello, I'm a long time lurker and a new member here. I bought this phone a week ago and I have a strange issue with it.
Honestly I have no idea where else to look for help, I've asked in several posts over on reddit and fb to no avail. I'll try to describe the issue to the best of my abilities.
Anyways, I've noticed that when I switch between apps there is a momentary flicker or increase in brightness of the screen. I searched for a while and found that the screen refresh rate drops to 90hz for a moment and goes back up again. I tried setting the display to 60 hz and the issue disappeared. I tried setting it to 90hz with SetEdit and the brightness increased a bit. As if the brightness setting for 90hz mode is a bit higher than 60 or 120 if that makes sense.
I have 2 videos below one in 120hz mode and the other in 60hz. The camera exaggerates the effect a bit but it's visible with the naked eye in low to moderate lighting conditions i.e indoor use.

note that in 120hz mode the refresh rate drops to 90hz for a moment.
Is this normal or do I have a defective unit?
Thanks in advance

As for the Hz drop, this is normal when using this phone because it offers adaptive refresh rate (drops from 120Hz to 90Hz when you switch between apps). As for the flicker/brightness change, it does this to me too so I am guessing it's either a bug or just a result of the implementation of the adaptive refresh but can't be sure about that.

Sorry for the long delay. I am pretty sure you can follow this tutorial for this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/munn6k
. However, I am not 100% it is permanent so you will probably have to do it and see if it changes after a few days.

It ain't permanent... Just switch to any aosp rom. I'm tired of ****king memeui.
I installed it for performance and convenience of many more features but dumb stuff like this is unbearable at this point. I've tried many more stuff other than this and usually just downloading setprop app and changing user_refresh_rate value to 0 disables refresh rate switching. But only for a while , doesn't survive reboots and locking screen or opening certain blackilsted apps like mobile legends and such that are hard locked by miui at certain screen refresh rates....
Do yourself a favour and uninstall Miui

I've just set up my phone, and from all the videos never seen anyone comenting on the LTPO panel refresh rate. Tested the screen by enabling the FPS counter in developer settings and noticed it never goes down to 10hz. Even worse - always on stays locked at 120hz and home screen locks at 60hz. Is there something I am missing, or is it a bug?

I've seen on other device threads were the built in FPS counter doesn't show the actual refresh rate and only bounces between those two. Can't recall what method was used but there are other apps that will display the proper info.
I see. I read on the Xda review, that it fluctuates between 60-120 so wanted to test and see if thats true, as I would imagine it dropping down to 10hz would be way better for battery performance.
This review is confirming that too. The variable refresh rate is definitely broken...

As I understand it, SurfaceFlinger only sees 60 and 120, but can't see below 60. It is the display controller that sees below 60, so I suspect the Poco X3 has a different display controller than the Pixel 6 Pro. I think the Pixel 6 Pro would have to have a different display controller to allow the the developer options refresh rate to display anything below 60.
Anyone having an issue where the phone just drops down to 60hz even thou the slider is set on 120hz?? Happens about once a day for me the only way to fix it is a reboot

Are you using tasker? I noticed in tasker that one of the tasks I had running dropped the display down to 60hz. Either that or it lowered performance in some way.
I am not using tasker the phone is 100% stock don't know why I'm having this issue
The Oneplus 9 Pro was meant to go down 1Hz when looking at static content but no one can verify that, according to GSM Arena.
If the static content can be a GIF image, one can easily verify the 1 Hz claim if the GIF updates only once every second.
The LTPO display seems a mess. Totally broken.

yes, i am having the exact same issue.
i reckon it could be due to some app which hangs in the background as i already witnessed that if you listen to telegram or whatsapp voice messages and minimize the messenger app, you get the same issue.
I truly am not a person who feels I need to point fingers at the competition in order to feel better, but this is interesting: Samsung attempts to explain Galaxy S22 screen refresh-rate shenanigans
Anyone else notice the phone also got super snappy and smooth all the time? I tried turning on show refresh rate an hour ago just to find out the phone never go back down to 60hz.
I tried not touching the screen untill it actually auto lock, opening youtube, netflix, tiktok, chrome, settings etc etc. I even rebooted and no change. Battery life has been slightly better which is kinda weird though.
Also i checked twice, the force peak refresh rate is turned off.
Try clearing the system cache.

I just checked my phone (updated to .037), and the refresh rate is still dropping to 60hz whenever there is no input, so the adaptive refresh rate still works on my end.
My phone is dropping to 60 when there's no input as well. I just played a YouTube video and it went to 60.
On my device i have the exact same problem. As you already described, it is "always" on 120hz - it only jumps down to 60 Hz for a very brief moment, then again reaches the 120hz. This cicle is repeating itself as long as the display is turned on.
I already tried disabling all overlay services and other settings that could, as far as I could think of, have an impact on these behavior, like apps that have access to usage or device controll etc.
But as for now, I don't have a solution for this.
The strange part is that i also have a better display on time since the last update, but after checking the battery temperature for the last week (i installed the .037 on thursday) it reaches higher temperatures now as it was before the update, with around 34 Celsius on .036 vs 38 Celsius on .037 after around an hour of the same activities in the mostly same environment. The temperature difference does make sense for me, because the screen won't chill as it should. On the other hand, the longer battery life does'nt seem to fit too well in this picture.

As far as we know, it's currently buggy anyway, since the
Pixel 6 Pro is consuming more power in 60Hz mode than in 120Hz one*

Pixel 6 Pro Consuming More Power In 60Hz Mode Than In 120Hz One
The Google Pixel 6 Pro seems to be consuming more power in 60Hz mode, than it does in 120Hz mode. Needless to say, this is not normal, as higher refresh
www.androidheadlines.com
*in certain scenarios, like low brightness
Battery life tests have also shown that there is only a minor difference in battery life between 60hz or 120hz, so it doesn't really matter and you should - because of that - 120hz anyway since it's a much better experience.
Anyone from the UK had this update yet?
I only ask because I don't have any major issues and fingers crossed this update doesn't make anything worse.

Officially it's only a rollout in the USA and Canada, it will come to the rest of the world with the December update (or you manually sideload it, as I did).

Adaptive refresh is totally borked on the 6Pro.
Hi, When i unlock my phone and tried to change some romes i noticed latency in game. when i slide do left, after 0.3s it shows on screen, its like vSync enabled in old monitor connected to VGA
what could be the problem?
Also i rolled back to MIUI but problem still happening (i noticed it in CODM, playing on LOW Graphics and EXTREME/ULTRA Frame Rate)
Additional RAM is disbabled;
Refresh rate is 60Hz
100% Battery
Performance mode disabled

ultra fps = 90/120fps
why you selecting ultra if you are using 60hz refresh rate?
So i need to enable 120Hz and the latency will go?
Hey guys, i fixed this problem with clearing all data of "battery and performance" and this enables 120fps in cod mobile and i dont have latency with touch. Try it, it will solve all your problems.
