Stutter? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

So I play a game that's called wordzee. Works fine on first start.. but If I move to a new app and come back to the game the frame rate is a stutter fest.
Even if I close and restart the game, it sometimes still stutters.
This also happens with Chrome browser. But on the browser, it happens immediately after I use Smart Select with the spen. The scrolling stutters. Only way to fix is to close and reopen.
Anyone with similar experience? Is it the 120hz to blame? (It almost looks like it goes below 60hz)

yes most games are locked to 60 fps

What's weird is that if i put the phone in standard 60 then launch the game, it is a smooth 60. If the phone auto adjusted from 120 to 60... it is a janky 60. It's visually noticeable.
I'm also showing the frame rate from developer settings. The phone never dips below 120. Even on static images.
Guess I'm not sure how this adaptive refresh rate is actually supposed to work.

Do you know a method to permanently force resolution on 120hz ? Adaptive mode on OneUI 3.1 it doesn't allow this job

I thought same for n20ultra but till know it stayed in adaptive only.if you compare s20ultra always120hz.somtimes you feel lag while scrolling and not has smooth as always 120hz.
That's a shame for a Top like this

You can’t compare the S 21 display to the S 20 dispay. It is a different type of Display. The S 21 display may have an improved LTPO technology.

I believe that this app can help you with this.

The phone never seems to go below 120 for me. Unless I open a game. Then it's a stuttering messy 60. It's better to open the game after setting the phone to 60 first.
(In using Show frame rate from developer settings)
Also Chrome browser stutters even tho it shows 120.

Question LTPO 2.0 not working properly?

So, I've tested this phone for a while now and saw that something was up with the refresh rate of the display. I use Nova Launcher and I could tell that it wasn't as smooth as their own launcher, or the system settings for example. In developer options I turned on the "show refresh rate" toggle and the values were weird, to say the least. When it is operating at 120Hz and everything is smooth, it shows the number 10, but when I go to Nova Launcher, or Reddit Sync for example it shows 60. All of this only happens on the Auto mode, but that is the point of the LTPO Display, so it can work its magic. So as it seems the software doesn't show correctly when its running in 120Hz mode. Also, I would very much like to have Apps that I deem worthy run in 120Hz mode too, not just the ones it chooses by itself.
Strange. My phone is working like it should. Shows 10 fps when the screen is not moving. Shows 120fps as I start moving. I also tested YouTube and videos show the correct fps. 30 fps and 60 fps depending on the video.

Mines exactly the same
well Imma guess that it's something related to me importing my old backup, cause that messed up the AOD too (doesn't matter what I do, it won't turn on)

Is there any app that can adjust this per app? I also use some apps that only run at 60hz

In principle, the level of brightness that you have on influences, manual brightness, I think that from 80-85% brightness it goes from 5 to 1 in refresh rate. I put a capture.
Definitely to do with brightness
At lowest brightness on auto refresh rate, it seems to never drop below 120hz except in certain apps like maps where it'll go to 60hz.
But if I put brightness at about 30%, it can drop to 10hz.
So I wonder what's more battery efficient 0% brightness at 120hz or 30% brightness at 10hz
When in a dark environment, and forced into the 120Hz mode, the LTPO panel’s power consumption isn’t all that different from an LTPS panel ~180mW power penalty that is present at all times, even on a black static screen, because of 120 Hz. That penalty comes from the measured power, with 640 mW and 465 mW in the respective 120 and 60Hz modes. Under a brighter ambient conditions, the panel showcases its technology advantages, and power consumption drops drastically. In the 120Hz mode but with the minimum refresh rate now in the regular '48 Hz' setting, the power figure drops from 640mW to 428mW, which is a massive 220mW drop.

The phone operating under dark conditions seems to disable the 'seamless' variable refresh rate display, that allows the phone to go into lower frequency modes, but not in all circumstances

When it comes to the difference in the battery runtimes between running the phone in a dark or a bright environment, there are somewhat small difference. In the 60Hz maximum refresh mode, VRR/LFD gains the phone an additional 4% of battery life. In the 120Hz mode, we see a larger 8.5% jump in runtime.

I am having this issue also. I get only 60Hz with Nova but using default launcher I get 120Hz and it is adaptive.
So far I setting entire device at 120Hz but would prefer if there was option to enable adaptive working with Nova

The problem is not that the GT2 PRO does not have an option to enable adaptive refresh rate with Nova, the problem is that Nova is not fully optimized with Android 12.

It seems to be incorrect. In nova Discord, Administrator said Nova work well with LTPO 2.0 screen. And as far as I can see, all launcher I tested don't work with LTPO on realme GT 2 pro except default launcher...
Use set edit and put peak_refresh rate to 1 Also i added user_refresh rate to 1 and min_refresh rate to 1. Now is working 120 & variable rate in all app.

How? Can you explain a bit more about that?
Look here, marked with red in set edit app. Ignore my mistake on cameră, i was in hurry

It seem ok after reboot ! I don't know how you find this but good work. Thank you.
Edit : after few minutes nova go back to 60htz. System setting "peaking_refresh_rate" automatically go back to 60
Set your screen to 120 (High) in settings, and never change )
Will this just force 120hz or working LTPO for 3rd party apps?
Working ltpo, If You want only 120 enter same settings by adb.
Ok but what's exactly the point of your settings?
If I set 120hz always in settings, LTPO will also work and go down to 60-30-10hz if not touching the display
Lol, this is for apps with no 120hz support like camera, some browsers, other launchers, even some games

Question 120hz main screen bug

Hi,
I have the problem, that the refresh rate on the inner display keeps switching back to 60hz.
If I restart the phone unfolded und use it, the screen displays in 120hz. As soon as I close the device and use it again, scrolling is laggy and on 60hz (refresh rate in developer options still shows 120hz, but it's definitely 60hz).
The only way to make it work on 120hz again is rebooting unfolded, then it keeps on working again until it's folded again.
Can anyone confirm this too?

Question enhance your browsing experience

If you are disappointed in the screen dropping to 60hz whilst browsing and it not being buttery smooth try this:
open up the game enhance app and add in your browser app, next open up your browser and go to the game enhance settings, under game mode select custom and change the following settings: thermal limit to high, max screen refresh rate to 120 and touch response rate to high. If your screen goes too cold (blue) whilst browsing go to the display and sound setting click on image quality setting and and adjust the white balance slider on the bottom.
Browsing should become so much smoother and the screen should stop dropping to 60hz when device warms up.

Refresh rate bugged

Hi,
This post is about Magic 5 Pro, but I think magic 4 ultimate could have the same issue
When I set variable screen refresh my browser goes at 60fps instead of 120.
When I set "high", my YouTube goes at 30fps instead of 60
I don't see a way to have 120fps on Chrome AND 60fps on YouTube at the same time, which is a reasonable motive to toss this garbage away and never buy Honor again
Do you have the same problem?
