Yes, you will save battery if your doing a lot of reading like I do but you will suffer with lags and stutters through out the system
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Royal King:
Yeah. It made loading animations and S pen really laggy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Don't blame the app, blame Samsung hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Royal King:
Definitely. It's a great app. Still using it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
There's no best settings that fits to all. It varies depending on ones usage.

But my recommendations for S22U: FHD; adaptive mode (10/24 - 96); turn on all Screen-off mods.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
May I confirm that there won't be any emails come in if the option of "Auto Disable Sync" is on? Is that correct? The emails are only appeared when the screen is unlock. Alternatively, emails could still appear with delay. In your view, increase the minimum hz to 48hz will increase the performance gain at the expense of minor battery consumption? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Yes, correct on all.

You can check the other data that are affected by autosync by going to the accounts in autosync settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
24 min Hz setting uses Samsung's stock adaptive 'AS IS'. That's just how stock adaptive works - it pauses on low brightness conditions.

Can you share the game that you are referring to - probably it doesn't have the CATEGORY_GAME manifest declaration - so I need to manually add it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Elm3alem:
Game name is

Alto's odessy, I'll put Google play link

Alto's Odyssey - Apps on Google Play

Discover the endless desert

play.google.com
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Min Hz at 24Hz is just the stock adaptive mode implementation 'AS IS'. Sorry but there's currently no plan on overriding it's behavior.

Not sure on what you meant but what you're describing is the already adaptive mode. It will use other refresh rates for other apps like video apps and games.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Thanks. Fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CootyKuku:
I'm terribly sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

What I meant was, with Max Hz app, right now refresh rates perfectly change between 24 and 96Hz even in very low screen brightness settings but only when PSM is on.

So I wonder if we can get the same to work when PSM is off and screen brightness is set to low.

Here I was talking about the situation when I change the Min Hz amount to 10, Brightness threshold to 0 and screen brightness to 2%.

It won't change to other refresh rates (60, 30 or 24) as intended when using other apps like YT or FB, instead sticking to the Max Hz value. If nothing moves in the screen jumps to 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
Have you been using the function of sensor off? Would you mind sharing your experience? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Sorry not possible.

This is an expected behavior. Adaptive mode prevents switching to mid refresh rates in low brightness to avoid/minimize noticeable flickers.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jamielall:
Base s22 SD, is there a workaround for making the adaptive refresh rate 24hz-96hz? I have seen some posts about playing with the brightness threshold, but I'm not seeing a brightness threshold slider anywhere in the app. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] funeralmoon:
I bought the app and paid via Paypal. How long does it take to receive the code ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] isillo:
instantly, few seconds after.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] funeralmoon:
Didnt received it. Is there a way to contact the developer?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Please message me your paypal email address so I can check. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Elm3alem:
I've noticed a Great overall improvement in the app reactions to Different Apps with the Proper Hz to run the Program as it should after the latest updates.

Like when playing video on YouTube or WhatsApp it now variable between 30hz or 24hz according to the content, which earlier was reaching 10 which made the experience was laggy and inconvenient ,, now everything seems Great, and it reach 10hz when and where it should, otherwise it fluctuate between 120 till 24hz only ..

Accept my sincere Regards for the App & for the Efforts to make it really Masterpiece.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Elm3alem:
1st important hint for all new users..

You must put the app in Never put to sleep list, for the best App functionality.

2nd hint..

Keep the screen brightness at 15% or above if indoor as if it automatically reach 12 or 13%, then the Adaptive refresh rate will Varies only from 120hz to only 10hz, which will lag and delay response if left screen untouched for 3 or 5 seconds,,, while if Brightness is 15% or above, then the Adaptive smoothness will be triggered, it'll then varies from 120 to 60,30,24 till 10hz, where everything then will seems smooth and normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freezingpoint:
Just wondering, isn't the battery drain lesser with lower brightness (below 15%) and 120 hz than 10hz or 24hz but higher brightness? I find 15% quite bright for my eyes already.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Full brightness and extra brightness and 60hz to 120hz plus processing speed and WQHD are on, doesn't matter for me as with all that on no power saving on either and i still get 11hrs SOT AT&T S22 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB. That's what i get most of the time
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Elm3alem:
The lower the screen Brightness is Sure Ok, but Samsung made the screen Brightness of 15% or Above is the trigger for the refresh rate to working adaptively from 120 to 60-30 till 24 hz, if you try 10% brightness, you will be surprised that the refresh rate stuck at 120hz where it drains the Battery.

I hope it could be fixed by software Update, but till now that's the case, to save battery consumption and enjoy adaptive smoothness with working adaptive refresh rate, you Should adjust screen Brightness to 15% minimum ,, with the premium Galaxy Max Hz, you may add minimum refresh rate to 10hz instead of only 24hz natively by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
Impressive, quite impressive - BTW what is the font style in your theme? Can it be installed independently or is it tied to a theme?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
That's disgusting honestly, like how the **** do you even get that, sadly i have exynos and the best I can do is be happy I don't chew through my whole battery in a few hours having it set up like you do...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
Like I just took my phone off charger and came on XDA full brightness no processing power turned to max just came here and during that I've lost 3%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zoman7663:
@tribalfs something strange today, my activation code is being rejected as invalid. Bought new code in March with current device. But now code isn't working. Any help? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Pls message me the details. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
It's amazing and mystery. How can this be possible with high brightness? I have S22 Ultra Snapdragon 256gb version and average SOT is 5 to 5.5 hours. What are the other settings or changes you have made? For the frequency between 60 to 120hz should cost more battery than 24 to 120hz. Well done with such amazing SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pratik_193:
@tribalfs - had a weird issue today.

using S22ultra, snapdragon, stock, unrooted.

Settings in the app - adaptive, max-96hz, max hz for power saving - 60, adaptive min hz - 10

Connected my phone to my car for Android Auto and for some reason, the hz was stuck at 10, i had to reboot my phone.

Do you need any logs?

Also, having a ON/OFF switch to completely disable/Enable the app would be great incase there are any issues encountered.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
I was able to reproduce it. It's intermittent.

If it happens again, you just need to switch to standard mode and back to adaptive.

I'll check what I can do to fix this.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
@tribalfs I noticed another issue in the latest build. When I am in the power saving mode with the option of "keep smoothness on power saving mode" is on, sometimes the system stays on the 60hz although I set 120hz max hz for Power Saving Mode. I have to disable and enable this option to make it working. This only happened on the latest build as I haven't noticed in the previous builds. The issue is intermittent as well. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pratik_193:
I did switch to standard and then adaptive, but it dint help. I had to reboot the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CootyKuku:
This is impressive! Have you done any other optimizations other than using Max Hz app? Also I noticed you don't use FB or Tiktok which are huge battery drainers for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
I see. Did you perform the permission setup using adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Oh. Actually, I haven't changed anything on the implementation of power saving mode workaround since few builds back. But I'll investigate. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pratik_193:
I too faced this issue

The one that is done during initial setup right? Yes, did that
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Seems like GMH process was being killed by the system.

Please check below.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GloriousGlory:
Just want to say thanks for this application. It's helping me maintain how hot the device gets during gaming. I've set Power Saving on with 96hz refresh rate.

One issue I've seen so far, is that when I turn power saving off, It will not stay in 96hz. It keeps going back to 60 or 120. In fact, it gets really choppy on 96 with power saving off because it won't stay there... Is this a known issue?

With power saving mode on, everything is working great!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Unfortunately yes. Samsung increased the brightness threshold for 96Hz in one of its OneUI4.1 updates.

It did not affect power saving mode basically because the system does not anymore account the brightness levels as android is design to use the Standard refresh rate while on power saving. That's despite of tricking it to use the Adaptive Refresh Rate.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GloriousGlory:
Interesting. For now I have it set to 120 with power savings off and 96 with power saving mode on. I intend to keep it on at all times!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GloriousGlory:
Hey, some unfortunate news. I found that when the brightness is low even on power mode it defaults back to 60hz. No work around for this, right?

I'm assuming setting it to high always on 96 will be much worse on battery than adaptivr
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
I checked and mine is fine even on the extreme low light. 120hz with power saving on. Clear the data and cache on GMH then apply the settings again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GloriousGlory:
120hz works fine, but not 96. I was hoping to keep it at 96 instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pratik_193:
@tribalfs - Is there any way to bypass/ignore some apps from lowering the refresh rate?

e.g. i received a video on WhatsApp, while watching the video, the rate drops to the set hz, have to tap the screen just to make sure the video does not shutter. similar is for other apps too for viewing video

another topic - in Github, the changelog for latest version is at the bottom. Shouldn't the latest version be on top and oldest version at bottom? GitHub shows 7.14.12 as latest
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] WZDISMINE:
I tested this app, but it's joke 🤣😂🤑. Just eat the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raul6:
Yes, hilarious how wrongly your testing went
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
It's better if you can show actual battery statistics of the app so we can be objective.

What version are you on?

v7.14.53 is the latest.

It's just the order but yes convention says latest on top. I will fix the order in the description. Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bmonteiro:
I don't know if this has already been reported but for me, the refresh rate gets stuck in 120hz in Youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Cydras:
Awesome App, thank you very much!

It's very strange why Samsung use 60Hz on Always on Display...

Now i have set AOD Display to 10Hz with Battery Saving Mode, awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bmonteiro:
Did anyone notice better battery when running the device on 120-10hz?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jt1954:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jt1954:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bmonteiro:
I guess the issue on my side is that I'm using Youtube Vanced
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jt1954:
Could be. I'm using stock Youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I'm using Vanced and it drops accordingly to the video I'm watching. Never got stuck at 120hz.

I have Galaxy Max Hz app set to 24-96.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jt1954:
Now I'm stuck on 60 max when it's set for 96. If I set max 120, it gets stuck there. smh
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I thought youtube vanced shut down... Is it up and running again?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raul6:
No, just the existing apps still functional
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Gotcha. Do you have the issue where videos just suddenly stop halfway or closer to the end? I'm currently seeing a lot of that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:

-Bug fixes
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pratik_193:
Does this version fix android auto bug?

Had a few thoughts:

1. Is it possible to have an ON/OFF switch in the app?

2. Is is possible to bypass certain apps from reducing hz? like when watching a youtube video, the framerate should not drop
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Hey tribalfs,

After the latest update, my phone never drops below 96hz. I always ran it at 96-24 on my S22 Ultra and it was working perfectly before the update. Is there any way I can go back to the previous version?

I'd rather not uninstall and install the previous version from github because that would require me to do the ADB setup all over again, right? I don't have a Windows PC right now to do it.

It only works when I set the max Hz to 60, then it drops to 24 like normal. When set to 96Hz, it stays that way and doesn't drop.

Edit: nvm my brightness was just too low. Problem solved.

However, when the phone dims right before the screen turns off, it goes back from 24 to 96. Doesn't do this when set to 60-24. Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
I think it's fixed. Never occured on my testing.

1. Let me check

2. Per-app setting currently in the works

Spoiler content hidden.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Yes, that's how 96hz behavior is.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zsotiris:
Hello, is it possible to add app exceptions? Cause for example, while watching instagram stories, it goes down to 10Hz and it's not smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
If you scroll to the first post on this page by OP, he states per-app settings are currently in the works.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] maxrdlf95:
I bought your app when I had my s21 ultra now I have an s22 can you transfer the license to my new device please?

One license per device. New device, new license
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
Since upgraded to .54 which is the latest, my device runs at 60hz in power saving mode despite the option of enable smoothness...is turned on. I tried several times to enable and disable this option but the same issue still exist. All my settings are default with max hz 120. Do you have the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Hi! did you remove PIP permission in GMH info settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] maxrdlf95:
That's not fair I'm not gonna pay twice for an App that it's gonna be used once doesn't make any sense license cannot be disabled on previous device and enable on previous one I'm sorry but i'm not paying twice
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
That's up to the Developer, and i don't see him yet replying to your request.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Let me explain a bit to shed some light and hopefully address the unfair remark.

Why it's a single device license?

Short answer: It can not know who is the owner of the device.

GMH, being a non-GooglePlay store published app**, doesn't have an access to Google Play Billing server which provides a developer ways of validating if the device (where his app is installed to) is associated to the google account which already purchased it license. GPB system does the management of these licenses.

GMH doesn't have that. It is not capable of determining what google account is associated to the device it was installed to. Thus, it doesn't have a way of validating ownership and therefore can not implement licensing on per user/account basis. This limitation is considered in its pricing and pricing is also different for different devices.

**explained in FAQs

PS. I sometimes grant request of one-time transfer from time to time. But this requires manually messing with our backend which I wanted to avoid and/or don't always have time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] maxrdlf95:
An easy solution for this would be an option on the app on the current device with the active license to Deactivate license that way it can be only enabled on one device at a time
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
It can not be done without the doing required setup on the backend side.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
I have tried but still the same issue. I am sure that other users should have the same issue as I don't change any settings besides to enable the option of keeping smoothness....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
I mean it must be enabled. Did you perform some debloating? Debloating dex and knoxx related files can cause it to stop working.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
I have never done any debloating or anything. Everything is all default. The permission of picture in picture is always allowed.

For the testing purpose, I have installed the .52 version after the issue on .53 and .54. So far, the build .52 is working.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Thanks for the info. It's a bit strange to me though as I haven't made changes on PSM workaround on these versions. But will look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
Yes. I was surprised to find this issue considering I haven't done any changes. Even after uninstallation and reinstallation of .53 and .54. the same issue still exists. For whatever reason, .52 has no issue. Hope other users could make some comments as well.

At the same time, In the last couple of weeks, I gave up enabling power saving mode constantly which was due to the auto brightness seems not working well when the power saving mode is on. For example, when I wake up the device, the auto brightness could still display really dark and I need to touch the auto brightness bar manually in order to trigger the auto brightness. Otherwise, the combination of power saving mode with high frequency is perfect method to save some battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
For whatever reason, the same issue occurred on .52 version as well. When I installed .52 initially within few hours, I was able to run 120hz on PSM. But now I noticed that it's capped on 60hz again. Very confused. Hope you could find an answer as this is a pretty important feature of this app.

So the issue looks like: installed the new build and apply the one time adb command, it works few hours then it stopped working again. During these few hours, no settings on my phone changed. The screen resolution is always on WQHD. Another thing I noticed when I press the power saving mode button, a small black window quickly appearing on my right button corner of the device. Previously, the small window is kind of brown when I just finished the installation.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
@tribalfs

Just noticed there is an update of .54.2 and installed immediately. Finally the 120hz appears on my PSM again. It's wonderful. What has caused the issue? I will use for few hours and report back if the same issue occurs.

Just two more things:

1. I noticed sometimes the auto brightness isn't really responsive while using PSM eg the auto brightness doesn't move a bit of brighter when waking up the device although the environment is bright. Could this be improved?

2. The notification menu always needs to be pulled down while unlocking the device while the auto sensors off setting is on. Is there any chance this could be improved?

3. I noticed your screenshot set the minimum hz to 48hz or 60hz (Your device could have no lower hz than 48hz). Is there any noticeable benefit comparing to the minimum 24hz? Or the minimum 24hz is actually better.

Thanks for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
1. Auto brightness is not a feature of GMH. The behavior is controlled by the system

2. This is explained in one of the FAQs. Pls check.

3. Lower hz is better for battery. Benefit varies on ones usage.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
Thanks. I am wondering my PSM issue is an actual my issue or you did resolve in the latest build. It seems only me had posted this issue. However it has been resolved by your latest build so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rishiduke:
Hi, @tribalfs in the latest ver 7.14.54_2 after using the keyboard, sometimes the refresh rate gets stuck at 48hz.

You have to either sw off scren or open gmh app and reload profiles to get out of that state.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
Edit: I was able to reproduce it.

Please update to v7.14.55 in-app update for the fix.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] choosetobelieve:
I have loaded the .55. Before enabling the limit refresh rate when typing, I notice it's 60hz while it's typing. After that, I enabled this option, but I noticed that the refresh rate displays the exact 60hz as well. Do I suppose to see the difference by enabling this option as without enabling has the same 60hz? I only see 60hz while typing and never seen 48hz. The refresh rate does go up after using the keyboard which is same as in the change log.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rishiduke:
Thank you, working as intended now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tribalfs:
It only applies when 10Hz is set as min Hz for S22U.

My mistake - that option should be hidden when not set.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MESA:
Can I achieve the following with the app?

I want to have adaptive refresh that goes down to 10 hz and max to 60 hz instead of 120. So it will be 10-60. Is that possible?
