Yessir
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] davidsmash098:
Awesome, thanks! I'm a bit hesitant cause I just factory reset my phone and don't want to go through all the set up again, but since it seems like it's working well for you I might give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Moirae:
Yea if you just change the peak to 96 it definitely unties ambient light from VRR and works fine. I just wish I could do the same with 120.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] K0wneD:
After using this app and setting my display to 96hz I noticed that my display was not doing vrr. I so wanted to use adb but out of curiosity I toggled adaptive motion on and off and did a phone restart and it appears the values set by this app were overridden and now I can see the display refresh rate vary. It started from 120hz and went down to even 16hz!! I think I'm happy with this setting and keep it this way, may be I'll come back to this app when vrr works with 96hz

I recorded the screen when all this for happening and dang I'm not able to upload the video through XDA Labs:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm not sure how some of you are getting VRR to work on displayhz website. I've never downloaded or installed rhr 96hz app. I've only ever adjusted the refresh rate through display settings. No matter what I do, dark room, bright room, Samsung browser, Chrome browser, displayhz shos my device at a constant 120hz. It does not wind down at all.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

Ok, I finally got VRR to show up on displayhz. But I had to basically hold the phone up to the the light almost touching the light bulb. Even then, it only dropped down to 60hz, and didn't stay there very long.

I wonder if part of our battery drain issues isn't some bug in the VRR algorithm that isn't allowing the refresh rate to drop down like it should.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Your 5 hours SOT isn't exactly accurate though. The new battery stats counts ALL screen time for the entire day. Not just since last charge.

It appears you had it off the charger using it from midnight to 0200 hours roughly. Then you charged it to 100% and used it during the day.

So however much you used it from midnight to 0200 will be counted in that 5hrs SOT. So it's likely you only got 3 or 4 hours SOT from a single charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] AllAboutTech:
by using GSamBattery Stats PRO you are abel to see the following:

* SoT since last full charge

*battery consumming apps per %
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Mr. Orange 645:
Correct. But the user I quoted was using the native Samsung battery stats, not GSAM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] ram4ufriends:
Every battery app on Android is trash.. every app shows different consumption values and none match.. I had this issue on all my phones...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Rapier:
Ok so coming back to the problem at hand, I face similar behavior with Mr Orange (stock phone, never installed the app here or run the ADB commands) ....screen stays at 120 hz on displayhz.com no matter what EXCEPT if I put it really close to the light bulb when shows 60 hz.

Which makes me wonder if lowering the refresh rate is not more a thermal throttling than an ambient light related as the screen gets warmer stayin really close next to the bulb (I've tested for ex with the flashlight from another phone to increase ambient light and was not going down to 60 hz...flashlight uses a LED that doesn't dissipates that much heat).

Couldn't find an app to display fps as an overlay so I'm still testing but I would like to see how that VRR (out of the box) is supposed to be working or if it's working at all, as the bad battery we got could be related to this.

I'll try the app here as well but again I'd like to see/test if VRR is actually working as advertised...like reaching 1 hz or at least 10 hz in some cases. So far I haven't seen any screen shot or video that proves that

P. S. If the app was made initially for S20 is different as that phone does not have a VRR display so it works differently than a Note 20 display

Here's an overlay app View attachment 5092689
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Rapier:
Thanks, I found also Game Booster that has the option and now I'm playing with that. So far....only 120 hz with extremely rare drops to about 110 hz for fractions of seconds. Regardless if I just stay on my home screen, staring on a PDF or web page or doing anything else (or not doing anything just to see a frame drop)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
no overlay on that app.... at least i can't find it

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

update... couple apps with same name... found the overlay one thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] xanthrax:
Well it seems to have done the trick, the refresh rate is locked at 96, it drops to 60 in some games, chess in example, note 20 ultra exynos
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Rapier:
Same here, most of the time screen stays at max (96 hz after I used the app) with occasional drops to 60 hz (for ex while watching some youtube videos). Overall I'm extremely disappointed about Samsung's implementation of VRR...actually there's so few cases in which frame rate drops to a lower value that I don't see any battery gain.

Has anyone found a way to make VRR properly working? That is to go as low as 10 hz for ex when reading a page or have a static image on screen (like the homescreen for ex)?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] AllAboutTech:
for me only goes to 60 and 96..but never under it..and i get 5hrs to 6hra SoT..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] marioswat81:
for me it is 120 or 60. It does not fall down
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] pcriz:
Maybe we put too much faith in the utility of VRR as it's currently implemented in our phones. I'm sure alot imagined dynamic scaling down to the lowest possible refresh rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
adb command to 96hz works for me ........... brings vrr working on my snapdragon back 120hz did'nt work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Rapier:
I guess we just hoped it'll behave like the VRR of the gaming monitors or something. At least by what Samsung and articles said about this VRR. They all praised it so much I really thought it'll be a game changer...it just proved to be a marketing gimmick.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] kradcliffe:
The display just eats power like crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] pcriz:
You can try out medium power mode with adaptive mode on.

You have to go into settings-bixby routines-create a switch triggered for medium power. Make sure the device is in adaptive mode. Then use the switch created by the bixby routine.

You have to do it this way because native medium power saving turns off adaptive mode and drops you to 60hz.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

what i found is setting it to 96hz using the abd command it will switch back and forth easily to 60hz but setting it to 120hz it will hardly switch

interestingly Google maps is always at 60hz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] borijess:
Is this app dynamic? Mine says 120hz all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
don't use the app... it lovks at 120hz

use the adb command then set to 96.0hz and dynamic seems to work reasonably well

hope Samsung fix it to work better
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] K0wneD:
Dropped to 16hz but had a blub right over the screen. VRR advertised by Samsung is a total joke ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] AllAboutTech:
what is the adb command?!

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
check post #74

adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 96.0
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] AllAboutTech:
so the following steps needs to be done:

1. adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 96.0

2. bixby routines for medium power saver mode to work with 96hz and VRR to work?

or how?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
i just did adb command... that's it... nothing else
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] AllAboutTech:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
no
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] AllAboutTech:
Samsung’s new display technologies, such as the VRR and LFD on the Note20 Ultra, make for a big leap in terms of the capabilities of high-refresh rate smartphones today.

However there are quirks, and the biggest negative here is the fact that underneath a certain ambient brightness, Samsung disables its VRR.

At a 40 lux ambient brightness, which is still relatively bright for indoor use-cases, we can see the VRR disabled. Users can download a lux meter app right now for their current smartphones and test it around the environment to see which scenarios apply and which don’t.

This is a bit disappointing, as the biggest advantage of an VRR implementation was to get rid of the fixed large power penalty of the 120Hz mode – a penalty which in absolute terms represented a bigger power draw percentage during lower brightness usage of a device.

This is compared to high on-screen brightness conditions, where power draw is dominated by luminance power, where the 120Hz penalty represented a smaller percentage of total power, and thus represents a smaller gain thanks to VRR.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] wonghyf:
That's 16ms on your screenshot, not 16Hz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] VirtualWaver:
So I installed the app and changed to 96hz. It was toggling between 60hz and 96hz, depending on app.

Uninstalled the app and it is now toggling between 60hz and 120hz.

How can I test if VRR is working below 60hz? What apps should I launch to test this? I didn't test before installing the app so don't know. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] xanthrax:
There's an app I posted 1 page back, guess you're using it already, 48 hz only on some games
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] VirtualWaver:
Sorry, probably didn't specify correctly - I have the app but my screen only toggles either 60hz or 120hz. Even when I am watching videos, browsing social media apps, etc, it doesn't go below 60hz whilst my understanding is that it should.

So I am asking is there a specific app or operation that will toggle lower refresh rate? I want to test it to make sure VRR is still working after installing and removing the app from Page 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] xanthrax:
Oh, I'm not aware of but I don't think so, guess we must stick to what we have for now, 60/96/120
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] VirtualWaver:
Thanks for this. It seems that Samsung needs to polish the things up. I never noticed advertised 30hz or 11hz during video playback or social media browsing.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Is it me or did you also notice that the phone is getting warm after the app from post 1??

I installed the app, then uninstalled and then executed the adb command from post 74 to revert the settings back to 120hz but my phone is now constantly warm. Not hot, but warm.

It wasn't like this before!

Can this be because the app triggered something extraordinary?

Is adaptive 60Hz possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] pcriz:
Maybe this is a dumb question but if it could drop below 60hz on a still picture. How would it ever register that for us to observe if you have a dynamically changing hz read out on the screen?

I'm assuming it's not smart enough to "see" what you are looking at and make a determination, but rather sense movement on the screen.

You'd almost need to get a debug stream going.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
With VRR working, no app and medium power saving mode on, I've been watching youtube videos on Chrome or Samsung Internet on 48hz which saves even more battery. On youtube app I get 60hz minimum.

This is all what I used :

Enabled Medium Power Saving mode

adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 96.0

adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
what.... command is this for....... "adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1"

haven't seen t that one before
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
This command enables the adaptive mode .

adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 2 (120Hz)

adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1 (adaptive )

adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 0 (60Hz)

So I enable the adaptive mode and maximum refresh rate at 96Hz + Medium Power Savings.... still good performance and smooth.

I'm getting around 9h:15 SOT watching youtube videos, instagram, whatsapp, facebook, reddit
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
does that command do the same as doing it in settings? adaptive or standard
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
Yep !

"adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1" - Adaptive

"adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 0" - Standard
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] borijess:
Does this make 120hz all the time on full hd or qhd?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
It doesn't work with qhd :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] freezingpoint:
How did you get the 48hz? Is it something to do with medium power saving or normal VRR functioning?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
It's the normal VRR functioning... Interesting is that it just go down to 48hz when playing videos in the browser, and once you pause the video, it goes back to 60hz .

In order to make it goes down to 48hz in the YouTube app, i created a task using tasker.(no root)

If my phone is not connected to the charger and I open YouTube, and it's on landscape mode change peak refresh Rate to 48hz.

This way I can watch YouTube with really minimum impact on battery.

Hopefully Samsung will improve VRR in further updates, so no need of using this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] ad44891:
Good discussion going on here.. But if you want to lock it at 120hz all the time.. With no vrr.. Is that possible? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
Yes , just run :

adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 2
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] hayabusa1300cc:
What app are you using to show the red hz?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Venom0642:
Nice so basically it stays locked on 120hz with that adb command. Do got a question what if you want to go back to default on Adaptive, Is there a command for that Or is this the command if i decide to go back to default way, adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1 (adaptive ).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yannichoongs.screenrefreshrate

Yes, to go back to default way you can either adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1 to adaptive or adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 0 to standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Venom0642:
Thanks ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] ad44891:
Ha.. That was gonna be my next question.. Thx Venom ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] ad44891:
So... After running the command to lock it at 120hz.. To me its actually alot smoother.. Better performance also.. Battery drain is not a issue bout the same so I see it as a win.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] yummygvina:
Could you explain to me how to use these commands and what should I do in order to keep the smoothness but still be able to maintain battery better?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] BigMosley:
Many thanks for this info..Do you need this app to lock in the 120hz or do you just run the adb command with your phone plugged in into a command prompt?

Also I still haven't received the September patch, if you run this command and take an update does it revert back to adaptive?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
No need the app , just run the adb command into a command prompt.

I'm not sure, but mostly likely we will have to run the command again depending on what the next update changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Mobilelearner:
Default Hz is 60. But within app you can change value. For that open app, top right corner 3 dots. There is option to set default Hz change to 120 Hz.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] borijess:
So once you apply this setting you will see high in the settings where adaptive used to be correct? Also just switch to QHD switches the setting back to adaptive correct? You wont need to go back to adb to switch it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] BigMosley:
It appears that some apps like COD Mobile and Google Maps still turn it down to 60hz even after running this cmd prompt?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
Yeah, I even tested with Dinamic Display app https://github.com/Made-With-Fingertips/Dynamic-Display

(which you can set the refresh rate per app) but Maps always runs on 60hz.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] BigMosley:
Thanks for the app suggestion. I installed it and even after forcing 120hz to COD Mobile it still reverts back to 60Hz. If we are forcing it to run 120hz, how can it keep going back to 60hz?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] sugarcos:
Note 20 ultra is marketing its display could drop to 10 hz when using static content. Anyone notice that drop? I see it only on 120 hz when using internet browser for example
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] BigMosley:
Nope, only 120hz, 96hz and 60hz. Now that you mention it that is quite odd. I wonder if these Hz reader apps don't go lower than 60?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] pcriz:
So their statement is they have created a display that supports the ability to do this and list off some use cases.

The question is if the software is there yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dron39:
Is there any command to lock display refresh rate on 96Hz?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
You can try this :

adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 2

adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 96.0
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] edwardob:
what's the difference between mode 1 and mode 2

on the end of that command

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] dougmcsp:
mode 1 is adaptive mode

mode 0 is standard mode (60hz)

mode 2 is "high" mode ( 120hz) and then you limit to 96hz using the other adb command.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
g'day,

it seems the WIFI after pie update has become substantially deteriorated. as such, the connection on any given wifi spot seems like a dried bed creek whilst other phones on the same experience river like streaming! even if a connection is established (before it drops suddenly and frequently as well) it is juts pseudo as there is no data transfer!

per my read on other posts herein XDA, there is no real solution at the moment. motorola's annoying silence on this issue is also remarkable.

all in all, is there any way (I am still hopeful to find one) to overcome this phenomenon, i.e. flashing some other radio rom, etc.? otherwise, do I have to accept the ugly truth and bury the phone?
