Whenever I go into games or other social media apps my refresh rate goes down to 60hz but when I'm using settings and other system apps refresh rate is at 90hz, is somebody else facing the same issue? Can you tell how to fix it?
Refresh rate is in the corner
From what I've noticied, the 90Hz refreshrate only works on apps that work in 90FPS. If the app is stuck to 60FPS, then it'll force the refreshrate down to 60Hz
But why is it refresh rate going down in call of duty
Not every app supports 90hz.
Call of duty is supposed to support because it is a "popular" gaming app, and gaming apps should be able to support 90hz
did you consider the fact the processor just doesn't have the horsepower to run cod on 90 ?
a lot of phones default to the lowest fps when using apps , not the phones fault but the way the app is coded

I ordered a Xiaomi Mi 11 Global edition.
It is MIUI 12.0.3.0 Global out of the box.
I noticed that the 120hz is not consistent and stable. I am not sure if this is because MIUI lacks optimization or the apps I am using is not yet optimized for 120hz.
For example, when I browse a photo to be uploaded in facebook, the entire display shifts back to 60hz. Or when I scroll down a long post/thread in Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and other social media, the display scales back down to 60hz. I believe this is not a hardware issue, since the Snapdragon888 is more than capable of running this task.
Multi-tasking and opening the recent menu shifts the display to 90hz.
When playing games that only support 60hz, the frame rate begins to stutter, so I have to turn the refresh rate to 60hz.
I have to restart the phone to turn back to 120hz to fix these issues. Is this caused by adaptive refresh rate?
I also tried turning the display down to 1080p, still no luck.
I am considering flashing the EU ROM, hoping things would be fine. It is unfortunate that I could not fully enjoy the 1440p + 120hz display of the Mi 11.
Xiaomi should not spam phones into the market every month, so their software developers could focus more on optimization, since there would be less devices.
Settings / Display / Display resolution / when you use WQHD+ underneath uncheck / Save battery with WQHD
here you can see( left upper corner) how is work the refresh rate on this phone

You can force 120hz all the time by setting the minimum refresh rate to 120hz, using the following commands in ADB :
- adb shell
- settings put system min_refresh_rate 120

I'm a complete noob can I get a walkthrough and what is ADB?
When 120Hz is enabled in settings, Youtube app will run at lower 60Hz which saves the battery (since there is no need to view 30fps videos in 120Hz)
But Youtube Vanced runs at fixed 120Hz - is there any way to force Vanced to also run at 60Hz? By adding vanced youtube bundle id to system table or something?
Also is there a way to force AOD to run at 60Hz (or lower?) - Always On Display runs at 120Hz fixed which is super unnecessary and just drains the battery
Especially the Always On Display should not run in 120hz, that is totally crazy. How do you know that it does?

it does... enable the power monitor in dev settings and you see it
it does always, no idea why
it could run at 1Hz would be enough

enable show refresh rate option in developer settings - it shows 120Hz on AOD

display on Mi 11 is not capable of running at 1Hz, I think 48Hz is the lowest it can go (but not sure even of that or if 60Hz is a hard minimum)
The better choice is to using 90hz rate all the time, good balance between 60/120hz. Seriously i don't see any difference in game/apps between 90/120 but battery life is really different !
Personnaly if you like so much 120hz, you can replace 60hz by 90hz and keep 90/120 insteak of 60/90hz

I tried 90Hz using the method from the video, but it wasn't good - 90Hz felt like it was below 60Hz, not smooth at all when scrolling
So I didn't like this method at all
It would be best if MIUI had option to choose max refresh rate for each app individually
Forcing max refresh rate in most apps is stupid, especially on AOD

90Hz it's true, and smooth, you can easily see the difference between 60/90

I've followed method shown in the video after which 90Hz was enabled (I enabled refresh rate indicator in dev settings so I can see the refresh rate)
scrolling thru app drawer and settings was choppy at 90Hz - there was micro stuttering, not sure why, but it was there
So enabling 90Hz via this method is not good (at least on my Mi 11)

Guys there no "choppy" 90 hz, 90 hz is truly activated, it's not 120 hz. In my case all is smooth. This 90 hz is like 90 hz purposed on MiuiMix. There no good/true or bad method... It's 90 hz, not 120 hz, so just better than 60 hz. No less, no more
I love this phone, but there is one huge annoyance, there doesn't seem to be a way to make the screen actually run at a sustained framerate.
I have it set to 144hz in the menu, but it routinely drops to 60fps or 120fps depending on the app
This normally isn't a big problem, except nova launcher only runs at 60fps and so scrolling the app drawer is incredibly bad.
Pokemon Go also only runs at 60fps...and since the game operates at 1/2 vsyn, the effective fps is only 30, which is atrocious compared to the 72fps it runs at on the ROG6
Don't confuse Screen Refresh Rate and Frames Per Second. Totally different things.

I mean... Not really
Obviously the screen always runs at a refresh rate of 144hz because it isn't a VRR display(as far as I know that doesn't exist on phones)
So what you are changing in settings is always the frame rate that the phone is rendering at.
Your phone should ALWAYS be rendering at the frame rate you select in the settings menu... But this phone doesn't seem to do that, and it's annoying because it makes the usage experience worse than every other phone I have

Most of the reviews I've read/watched confirm what you've said. When you set 144hz, it runs that way in the default launcher and all the menus, but when you open certain apps, if they don't support 144hz natively then they just don't run at 144hz. The reviews seem to indicate that the developers of said apps need to enable support for 144hz.
So I was poking around the settings, and entered developer mode. There's an option to force the screen to stay at 144hz at ALL TIMES. It's called LOCK REFRESH RATE. I was able to confirm this works because there is also an option to SHOW REFRESH RATE which displays the screen refresh rate in the upper corner of the display. Before I locked the refresh rate, I used the show refresh rate function to view the refresh rate using different apps. In the phone menus, and app drawer, and google feed, etc the phone would remain at 144hz. But when opening some apps like Chrome for example, the refresh rate would drop to 120hz, etc. However, when I LOCKED the refresh rate in the dev options, the screen refresh rate stayed at 144hz in EVERY app and scenario I was in. It does state that this will drain your battery more rapidly when selecting to lock the refresh rate in the developer options. FYI
hello so the same problem i had trying to figure out the huge battery drain while i had 38% on(other apps)
on that process i found out that the screen never goes to 60hz,only on tik tok
on 12.5.9 and miui 13 android 12 too,when always on display too,does anyone please have a clue?this is ridiculous..thnx!
If you have approximately 1.09€ for buy a great apps, it's SmartHertz and you will choose refresh rate for everything, apps, games, launcher at 60/90/120hz
I encourage all Mi 11 users to support Miguel (the dev) because this apps working perfectly on Mi 11 (AOSP or MIUI, A11 or A12)
A must have, exactly what you want

Also bought this app and it works great
the only thing not working is 60Hz on AOD/Lock screen > I always have 120Hz on AOD/lockscreen
AOD drains so much battery in its default 120Hz setting, I had to disable it..

Drain less by put AOD option :
- less luminosity AOD (but unlock is more slow)
- not display AOD on Raise up but only Wake up
thnx but the problem is that the phone itself should lower the herz on its own not forcing it by myself
also isnt this app forcing 60hz or 120hz per app?it doesnt lower it when you stop scrolling or on aod,i have 120hz on aod for no reason!

LOL and ? Mi 11 as a Auto variable refresh rate BUT it's not a LTPO...
So when you are on Youtube or others apps with variable refresh rate enabled system change only between 60 to 120 hz... and a lot more 120 hertz, so you have lag and big drain. The refresh rate you want is for the new devices like Pixel 6 Pro or new Xiaomi 12, Samsung S22+ Pro...
And FYI 120hz for AOD is not for nothing, 120hz is putted by system when screen on/FOD on for maximize unlock speed (and high brightness on the FOG print also).
SmartHertz add features permit to choose refresh rate by app 60/90/120 or all 90hz all the time, but never you will convert a non LTPO screen to LTPO, you can seel your Mi 11 now. Blame Xiaomi, not us.

Even if it isn't an LTPO panel, it's still a good idea to reduce refresh rate when a static image is viewed.

Also, I noticed that at high brightness (roughly 80% and above) adaptive refresh rate works somewhat better. It switches to 60hz when not scrolling, for example. I can only guess it's either bad implementation by Xiaomi or the display isn't able to switch reliably at lower brightness without flickering.

MIUI does not have very good VRR implementation :
- AOD and Lock screen are by default always on 120Hz
- Majority of apps have fixed refresh rate (for example, youtube only works in 60Hz) and refresh rate does not change if you scroll or stop scrolling in an app
This is purely a Xiaomi issue + Mi11 display (first gen LTPO Samsung display) allows only for switching between 60-90-120Hz
Its not really flexible, especially comapred to 2nd gen LTPO displays which can go from 1-120Hz
with SmartHertz app at least you can force apps to run at lower fixed refresh rate (instead of most apps running at max 120Hz) + also it gives you option of choosing 60, 90 or 120Hz for every app (MIUI only gives you choice of 60 or 120Hz)
I noticed that Snapchat constantly runs at 60 hz and also if you use the google maps pop up and scroll through other apps while having it open on the screen, it runs at 60 hz.
Is there any mod/app which forces 144 hz in every situation?
i think that is app issue due most apps are not really optimized for runs more than 60Hz
You can force it to 144Hz under Display > Display refresh rate.
However, forcing the screen to 144Hz may cause unnecessary stutter. Many app/games run smoother in 60fps which they're designed for. If the video content is in 30fps, it plays smoother at a multiple of the frame rate - like 60/120hz.
Use Motos gaming app, I am forcing snap and maps with that
