Greetings all,
The phone doesn't run 120fps all the time like for instance during the usage of google chrome, etc. You can check this by heading over to https://www.testufo.com/
On my OnePlus 7 Pro, we can enable constant 90fps via adb.
Was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to get get it working on our Rog Phone 2 ?
Cheers.
Won't this drain the battery?

No it doesn't, no noticeable drain on the OnePlus 7 pro.
Is it because the phone has variable framerate to save battery? Or because the display isn't capable of keeping 120hz?
Yes the same here.. Only after switching on the 120 hz in the topbar menu I have 120 hz also in the browser. I hope they will fix this.

Guess its a bug because when you activate it from the quick settings you get 120 fps all around. On my oneplus 7 pro, by default , on chrome and other apps it switches back to 60fps too but you can activate system wide 90fps via adb

yea, hope they get it fixed soon, sometimes after reboot it goes back to 60 or when you open and close the app. Whats the use of having 120fps if you only get to use it on the homescreen and asus's stock browser lol.
Hi, I'm thinking of getting the Asus rog 2 ultimate edition when it becomes available soon. And I would like to know if the 120 hz force mode could be activated like one plus 7 pro.
Since I had the oneplus 7 pro I had the 90hz force mode and I can't use any device without feeling the choppy effects of the 60hz. Be it iPhone or note 10 plus. And I hope someone has managed to find a way to activate 120hz ask the time.
I think it is a bug of Chrome Stable.
You can use 120hz continuously with Chrome Beta and Dev version.
You can choose, via settings, the screen mode: 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz. If you have 60Hz (default choice), of course the browser will run at 60Hz, no wonder about that. And, of course, the screen will drain less battery.
From the settings, you can choose to run ALWAYS at 120Hz. In some BATTERY test, tho, they showed how 120Hz ALWAYS will drain more battery. So, they suggested to use 120Hz mode only with X-Mode, so you can use it for games.
But, if you wanna use it ALWAYS, so even when you surf on the web via browser, you can activate 120Hz mode from Video Settings, in order to be Always on 120Hz.
Sorry for the noob-ish question, but is there any significant difference between a 90hz panel and a 120hz panel? I know that it's a leap from a 60hz to a 90hz panel, just wanted to know if there was any noticeable difference between the 90hz and 120hz.

Not much difference, but if I am going to keep it on 90hz then what is the point of getting the device over the ROG or 1+7. Also the battery saving isn't much you will probably get 30 mins ~ 1 H SOT vs a 60hrz constant refresh rate if I recall correctly. Any way it comes down to the type of device usage.
I will advise to try different settings and stick with the one that suites you. Personally I like to keep it at 120hz unless I am short on battery.

Plenty. Heck, I'd take this at 60Hz vs the 1+7 (or most any phone, for that matter), because there's plenty to love about the phone. Aside from the lack of U.S. support, of course...

Hi all, I have been thinking lately about moving to WQHD resolution instead of the FHD that I'm already on. Can someone please share the battery impact and the actual screen sharpness? I have always maintained that the smaller the screen the more difficult it is to discern the actual difference between FHD and WQHD. Surely, the difference is day and night on larger screen sizes i.e. 50 inches and above. Is it really the case on our screens too? I'm on adaptive refresh rate and plan to keep it as is.

Not much of a difference in battery , may be like 30 mins of less SOT.
Gpu takes a bit of more load , and thus the overall graphics might be like 5-10% slow .
Thats my opinion, might be different for others
The difference is nearly imperceptible, wouldn't worry too much about both WQHD+ and adaptive refresh rate
Buying a phone at this price but not using the highest possible resolution is quite useless
why cant you just TRY IT YOURSELF?

Hi.
I tried both WQHD+ and FHD+ with adaptive refresh rate on for a few days each - but I couldn't discern any significant differnce in battery life with day to day usage. I'm not saying there wasn't any... common sense dictates that there must be some, but I wansn't able to appreciate it.
I was very hard pressed to tell the differnce between the two resolutions on my screen as well. When I went down to HD+, I could immediately detect the drop in quality. But between FHD and WQHD I couldn't tell initially. Over time, i leatnt to discern the differnce up close (really close) becasue I knew what to look for - but the difference was not very big. So I tested it out on my family members, and not a single person could tell the difference with confidence (none are tech nerds) - all they said is "Wow! nice screen, what do you want me to look for? Looks the same as before..."
But this was all done in the first 2 weeks since I bought the phone, so usage was erratic and frenzied. I hadn't settled into a regular routine with the phone, it being all new and shiny - installing and uninstalling new apps, tinkering around etc - so i don't think I can honestly testify as to the battery life difference between FHD and WQHD.
But I can definitely tell that my eyes found it very difficult to tell the difference in quality, even today. So I just kept it on FHD+ and forgot about it till I came across your post. Maybe it's time to try out the experiment again with a more settled down phone... as I sit here typing this on WQHD resolution, trying to imagine if the FHD+ looked any different 15 minutes ago.

I tried it and didn't see much difference so keeping it at wqhd and adaptive.
Same with 4g and 5g in my area.
Everything is on adaptive. 5g and wqhd.
Go on and use it. That's why you paid for the phone, if you don't use the feature s what's the point?
Just use the best possible resolution. No point getting a phone like this and turn things off is how i look at it.
70% of the time, on my phone: I'm just messaging/calling or using the browser to view text-based content with a few images here and there.
30% of the time: HD Video, photos, camera, video-calls, etc.
So, I do this:
(1) Remove Animations (under Accessibility or just use Finder/search to locate it) -- because I don't need
(2) Force Dark in Developer Options (goes away after a reboot, so just reactivate this).
(3) Keep the phone in 720p60fps, full-temperature Comfort Shield, Power Saving mode, AOD off, Limit CPU to 70%, Decrease brightness by 10%, etc.
(4) Use a Bixby Routine to go into and come out of this low-quality mode as desired.
(5) I have all deviceidle and other power saving settings turned off.

Now your phone will always stay dark on reboot. You're welcome.
Smartphone hardware these days are close to perfection. The performance is overkill. The only bottleneck is the software. Crappy software prevents the users from getting the full potential of the device. I am not certain if these issues are just software related alone, if it is, then I hope Xiaomi could fix this. Flashing the latest EU ROM didn't help, so there must be an issue within MIUI's core.
1.) The phone heats up really fast
- Is this because of Samsung 5nm? I could not believe that a 5nm could heat up so easily. I am not claiming that the phone is overheating.
I have not faced any fps drops in game. I have to remove my case when playing games. Running a background app like Bittorent/Utorrent or any other downloading service will surely heat your phone quite fast, to the point where it is no longer comfortable to hold. I hope custom rom and custom kernel development will rise, so we can manually adjust the CPU frequency.
2.) 120hz is not smooth. There are noticeable micro-stutters.
I tried using the force 120hz adb command, but still I am getting micro-stutters when scrolling through apps and multi-tasking. This could be probably mean that the app itself is not optimized for 120hz phones, but Facebook, Instagram and Chrome are still having stutters and these are mainstream apps.
I could not fully enjoy the 1440p + 120hz HDR display. I already tried going down to 1080p and turning off battery saving mode. The phone would just hop between 60hz and 90hz without reason, and you have manually go to the display settings to turn on 120hz because it would just set to 60hz by itself!
Hi! I am on xiaomi.eu miui 12.5.9. Is there any way possible to set the refresh rate to 60hz when it idles for a moment?
Some custom rom has this feature (e.g. project elixir, aex etc) where you can set the minimum refresh rate is 60hz and maximum at 120hz, when the phone idles the display automatically drops down to 60hz. It is a great battery-saving feature, so I was wondering is there any way to do this in MIUI?

I thought the refresh rate already dynamic? Try set it to 120hz and turn on refresh rate from developer option... You will find the display rate fluctuate between 30,60,120...

does realme gt master edition support dynamic refresh rate? can we get that feature via an ota update?
Hello, from my experience using custom ROM, Redmi Note 10 pro screen doesn't fancy enough for using variable refresh rate. When setting to 60 Hz - 120 Hz, The display always stay in 120 Hz if it register touch not depends the content we see like other phone. And drop to 60 Hz in +/- 1 seconds after last touch input
Hi Everyone,
Can i anyone help OnePlus 10 Pro Always Stays 120Hz Never Went Down Even Static Wallpaper , It shows only 120hz and my battery draining faster

That's normal then, at higher brightness the screen will drop all the way down to 1hz to save battery but at lower brightness it will stay at 120hz or drop to 60hz in some apps.

Hello there
I'm having an issue getting around 3hrs only of screen time, and after monitoring the device for several days I noticed that the refresh rate is stuck at 120hz even if I'm on the home screen not touching the phone
After changing the refresh rate to 60hz the battery performance is now excellent i'm getting around 8 to 10 hrs
So the problem for me was that the software was not handling the refresh rate right and even while using the phone with 60hz it never drops to 1 or 5hz
It's STUCK to either 120hz or 60hz
Any suggestions about fixing this issue?
It suppose to have an adaptive LTPO2 screen...

Yes i agree with you, that is the same problem with me, I just noticed it stays on 120hz every single time. THAT'S WEIRD.
Thanks for letting me know, unfotunately, i have no solutions for it, I will be waiting for someone to find a method to fix it.
I think it can be resolved with a minor system update, it's all about this post reaching someone inside OnePlus.
Until then you should lower the refresh rate to 60hz in order to save the battery health "wear cycles".
Try smart hertz, work good

Unfortunately it requires the phone to be rooted
I tried the 120hz now under sunlight and noticed that above 80% of the brightness the refresh rate drops to 1hz while reading, above 50% and below 80% it drops to 10hz, and below 50% of the brightness it is stuck to the 120hz
I think if an update came to fix the refresh rate under 50% brightness the battery life would be great.
Are you on A.17 or C.21?
