Hi there. I'm desperately searching for a fix for the current refresh rate issue in Pokemon Go. They forced an update some months ago, it was 205.x that included a Unity update. Since then the refresh rate won't go over 60. It is showcased in the video of this Reddit thread.
Is there any way to force the higher refresh rate? I turned on all the settings in the display setting and dev settings. I turned every energy saving thing down and I even tried running a picture in picture app to make the phone think that one is running in the foreground to force the refresh rate 90. No luck so far. It feels so bad playing with 60

I already rebooted after setting it on. But no effect.
Got question for you.... how do you know this is not working? I remember trying this out back on EMUI 4.1.1 and and on other phones and I generally dont see a difference between 1080p and 720p however, I did see a difference between qHD and 720p.
Also, lowering screen resolution helps with FPS in games but its been proven that it barely makes a difference in battery saving.

I suppose OP know the option is not working because he still can capture screenshot in 1080p.
In Marshmallow, ROG Power Saving option will make the system run at 720p at all time.
So, when you capture a screenshot or do screen recording, pictures and videos will be in 720p.
I've noticed, from OP's screenshot, the description is now changed to "Lower the screen resolution as required". I guess, in Nougat, resolution will only be lowered when the system determines it should be.
OP should try playing heavy 3D GPU-intensive games and see whether screen resolution changed to 720p.
I need someone who have devices running on nougat b360/361 to confirm this function ( 720p resolution) working like Marshmallow 6.0 or no.
Thanks
I am on B360 and for me this function doesn't work like it was on 6.0 (for example you can see the difference in size of Viber's stickers- in 6.0 when 720p is active, stickers are bigger. Also the apps icons are more grainy. That's not the case in 7.0 ).
It's working. When you launch an heavy app, the low resolution is active. I can see a difference in Clash Royale

Hmmm maybe it only applies for games? Kinda make sense since this is where the majority of power saving will come from if you take the wording "As required".
To be honest if it work only in 3D games its actually useless a bit.
I was changing resolution and DPI all the time with my older devices(only reason why i root my phones today) and even when you use browser or watch videos, changing res to 720 give HUGE battery boost. Actually when playing game beside performance boost, battery life is not that different compared to default 1080.
Im still in 6.0(Poland and Spain still dont have update to 7.0) and after changing res to 720 I can easily get 2 days of heavy video watch + browser and its still left with 15-25%. With default 1080 I could get maybe day and half before battery hit 15%
So if it change res only when launching "heavy app/game" beside performance boost it will not give much for battery. When I was sick few weeks ago I spend whole week playing with that setting so I have some comparison of how it work on P9.
Also to check your resolution you just need to look at "phone info" in settings or just install one of many small apps that check/change res of screen.
It's work on B361. See how the font resolution is changed. You must be blind not to see this right after press the button.
Same here. Worked with MM. Do not work with B378.

1: True.
2: Only rooted
Just tested with B378. Checked by screenshot(res of picture it take) and by app that check resolution(root is needed only for changing res, for checking it work without it), and also by looking at res info in settings->phone informations
I though maybe its work only if power saving mode is turned on? NOPE
Maybe it work only if Power Saving is on, and battery is bellow 50%? still NOPE
Maybe it work only with really, really heavy 3D games? NOPE
Maybe it need some additional setting like forcing GPU rendering in programming settings? NOPE
Maybe it need reset? NOPE tried everytime.
It doesnt even touch DPI, because via programming options->set minimal width I set it to 420DPI so Im allergic to any changes and I see if its different.
So overall, yeah, it doesnt work and need to be reported to Huawei. I will later do that but it would be better if more people do the same.
low res not working for me - B378

[EDITED POST]
I get last post wrong. But anyway I send report to Huawei and I would recommend that to everyone else, so maybe they notice and fix it quicker.
Some apps on Google Play allow me to do it but none of them lets me take pics with longer exposure time than 1s while in the stock app it goes up to 8s, how can I come around this?
Hi, In the camera settings I can't lock the video to be 4K 60 fps, it lately just switch back to 30 fps and it is really frustrating. Do you know I can report this problem to Realme or solution to stick to 60 fps? Thanks!
I tested on mine and it does lock 4K with 60 fps, but not when you have video stabilisation on.
It will automatically switch back to 1080p. I can't seem to replicate your problem. Perhaps you can test it with another app (most people like GCam as an alternative) and see if it is just in the default app doing that.
Also, which version of the phone are you using, CN or EU? And are you on the latest ColourOS (XXXX11_A.12)?

It's stay on 60 fps for awhile but like after some time. Maybe they kill all camera activities it switch to 4K 30fps. Yeah, I want to use default camera. GCam is good for photo, but the video is trash. I have EU, latest is A.12?? Can you give me link? I only know that the last one is https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update RMX1931EX_11_A.07.
Thanks for reply btw.
I have the exact same problem, I think it is a China ROM problem. I think a bought a beautiful smartphone, but China rom sucks.
Well, I have eu version. So, it's not only cn problem. But I believe they will fix it in Coloros 7.

Sorry, on my pc i can see 120 hz video on youtube. on poco x3 too ...
I've seen bunch a reviewer videos when they review a phone or a lap top and always they would say 120hz (for example) looks so smooth but unfortunately you can not see it because yt is limited to 60Hz

Yes this defenitly is 60Hz You can tell that movement is all wrong.
When you watch it on you tube its 60hz , YouTube can play only 60Hz.
if you download video from that link below it might be 120Hz.
I find it on first video that I opened
YouTube is locked on 60Hz and downscaling all the videos people upload.
starts at 1minut
Unable to use YouTube at 120Hz on OnePlus 8T? Try these workarounds

When you scroll it goes to 120Hz or how much your device support and is set. But video are all on 60Hz
I'm running on Miui 12.5.2. I noticed that the phone runs in 120hz on ui,instagram and when using chrome(but when watching a video on it it goes to 60Hz).But on Youtube,Netflix and in games it goes to 60Hz again(including opening youtube inside chrome). This 'Variable' Refresh rate is quite bothering and ruins the point of why i got the phone to watch movies etc in 120hz. Has anyone managed to fix the Refresh rate to 120hz? Any Stock rom or custom rom solutions?
P.S flickering occurs due to this random change in refresh rate too.
I did it bois. This works Fine.

Loll
All movies are at 30 fps and YouTube is capped at 60fps 120fps on YouTube does nothing in terms of video if you want the YouTube app to be 120hz install YouTube vanced but YouTube video playback will never change 60 or 120
