120 fps in some apps on np2a

AgentY

I have notised that some apps refuse to run at 120 fps from launch and only will if you put them in the pop up view and that back to fullscreen.(Games such as geometry dash and soul knight, as well as google classroom). Some of them(most notably google maps) run in 120 hertz in pop up but thenquickly return back to 60 when you put it back to fullscreen. Does anybody know the reason for this kind of behaviour? Why onther phones with similar performance(glaxy s21 fe and pixel 7 pro) always run those programs in 120 fps?

AgentY Your screen refresh rate in the settings is always 120?

AgentY

Anonymous717 Yeah, it is set to high

AgentY Hello actually my query is related to the 60 fps lock bug on games. Earlier there was a workaround in which we could open the game in pop up view then open it to enable 120 fps but after nothing os 3.0 it doesn’t work anymore so is this bug going to be fixed anytime soon? If I open for example say clash of clans which supports 120 fps in pop up mode then open critical ops game then it automatically enables 120 fps in critical ops also, but if I remove the pop up window critical ops game switches back to 60 fps

AgentY

TheElemental I’ve noticed this too, but haven’t found a workaround yet.

TheElemental

AgentY Well actually if you open the game you want 120 fps in you open it up and then open any app for example playstore in popup on top of the game. Boom! There you have it though it’s quite a bit annoying.

Same 2.6 we have 120 fps mlbb popup and open its gonna stay 120 fps but 3.0 it’s won’t work popup it give 120 but when full it’s was 60 justice for this

This same issue exists with the twitch app and i have mentioned it several times but no fix yet

Have you found a fix on OS 3.00?

I like to play rhythm games (like Cytus 2 or Rotaeno) but I really hate that the game is limited to 60hz instead of the 120hz that this phone supposedly has… please release an update or something. I’ve already tried everything, even USB debugging. How is it possible that the Poco X3 Pro (a mid-range phone from 4 years ago) can run all these games at 120Hz without problems, but this phone can’t?

I found a workaround working for nos 3.0. It’s not the greatest but it’s better than nothing. Just download dynamic spot and turn on show always and for some reason when a small black circle is always displayed behind selfie camera it unlocks practically every app that I tested.

Piotr_in1ybQY4R1 okay thx it’s something. I really hope they do something about this bc it’s really annoying.

What to do on this setup screen? Enable all of the settings?

Piotr_in1ybQY4R1

Yes, enable all of them and then go to general and enable show always and choose small circle. If it’s bigger than your selfie camera go to position and change width and height a bit. Also if the notifications will annoy you, you can turn them off by going to notifications and disabling all the apps. If you want it to work on landscape mode as well you have to turn the show in landscape mode in general but sadly it will display it in the top middle screen instead of under selfie camera.

Piotr_in1ybQY4R1 hello friend, Is it still working? I followed all the steps, but Geometry Dash still runs at 60 fps. Or did I do something wrong?

SauravGhosh_YSyIGtH5QM

Thanks. Set it up like you said. But for me the lag on 120hz got even more intensifying. Checked Amazon and Facebook and didn’t bother any further. The lag was really awful.

Miguelxtrem

Sirkukis08 yeah let me know if y’all found a new workaround because it’s annoying as hell

derDennis

And? Is there now a new workaround??

If so, please let me know

Miguelxtrem

derDennis I found one with the “assistive touch” app you need to install it make it small and transparent and keep it on your screen. With that you can unlock 120 on every app I assume. But you need to go to dev options and Deactivate Frame Rate For Gaming and it’s pretty much everything you need to have to unlock fps. Enjoy!
