How To Guide 120Hz refresh rate everywhere (including YouTube) No root.

I jumped from stock CN firmware to XiaomiEU and I noticed that my YouTube running on 60Hz...this is how to fix it back to 120hz all the time. This is method gonna change you refresh rate to 120Hz everywhere including games, and it will stay after restarting ur phone

I think videos on YouTube are max 60 FPS so no real point in any higher than 60hz. That was my understanding anyway I could be well off.

I would gladly make it so that the refresh drops to the content I'm watching ( like YouTube to 60 ) but it seems to be stuck on 120hz always... that's why I set it to 90hz and it's much better now . It's a very good compromise between battery drain and viewing experience imo.
Cheers !

Correct, videos on YT are 60FPS max. However I think OP simply meant 120Hz when scrolling in the YouTube app

Nope, it doesn't work in my 11 Ultra global rom. What i did was clear the cache of battery and performance apps and it will become 120Hz everywhere. However it will revert back once restarted.

I am not sure if this will work with xiaomi devices but for those who want to test/try, check galaxy max hz

Damn thx bruh. I'm getting 120 on yt now. Was trying to find out how to get this done. Idk I came across stuff like to clear the battery app. Weird.
Anyway thx! This helped a ton!

It doesn't work really well though as after watching a video YouTube goes back to 60hz, I found the solution with forcing 120hz via custom props for those who have root

Thanks, it worked on my Poco F3

Thanks it worked on mi 11.

Thanks alot, i was searching for solution and clearing data or performance and battery was not working for my device,
Thanks again

The swich between 120 and 60 or between 90 or 60 (when setting the refresh rate manually) on Mi 11 Pro is driving me crazy. The reason is that the screen flickers eveytime it switches refresh rate. I really need to set 90hz or 120hz permanently but none of the solutions above works for me. Is there any other way to fix the refresh rate to a given number? 60hz is too low.

You can do ot with terminal if you have root or via ADB if not

I used this app before. I now suspect that my problems with flicker started some time after I changed the refresh rate to 90hz using setedit. Anyway, I recently did a clean install of MIUI 13 (Xiaomi EU) and the flicker is gone. I use the default 120 hz mode now and get more or less the same battery life as when I used 90hz. Before I did a clean flash it did not work using ADB commands either. Even if I set both minimum or maximun refresh rate to 90 it jumped between 60 and 90 constantly.

Question Adaptive Refresh Rate

Hi!
Is there any rom that provides the option of adaptive refresh rate? Is it possible to provide this option is a rom? Or is there another way to do so?
Full time 120Hz consumes a lot of battery.
Thanks!

You can enable the video toolbox for the application you want to use 120hz with and enable the adaptive refresh rate in the toolbox.

what is tollbox ?
i'haven't adaptive refresh rate....

Search for video toolbox in the settings. But yes I am seeing now that they removed that option for adaptive refresh rate.

It is kind of adaptive on 120hz, it drops to 60hz every chance it gets while not interacting with it.
This made myself and others here to lock it on 120hz.

I don't understand your question.

You said that it drops to 60 hz whenever it gets the chance. So is this feature only in MIUI or others have it too? For eg Arrow os

Overclock your eyes.
Now, seriously, some people can't manage to feel the difference between 60 and 120 hz, for me, it's like day and night, for my father, it's the same.

Almost every app that doesn't involve videos works with 120hz, you can feel it in your own OS

So should I switch to 60hz while watching movie to preserve battery or it automatically only displays 60?

How To Guide Touch sensitivity issue fix

Many users of this device (including myself) have noticed bad touch input sensitivity when using the 144Hz mode, but not in 60Hz or Auto. I have found quite an odd solution that at least fixes the issue on my end, and I'd like more people to test this, so please, comment down below.
Okay, for this I don't believe you need root. Go to settings and enable USB debugging, find the Motorola Edge 20 USB drivers online and ADB & Fastboot of you choice.
Once you have done all of that, open ADB & Fastboot in a terminal and write the following without the quote marks and the comments that start with a dash (make sure your display is on and the phone is connected to the computer):
"adb devices"
-this command will make a message pop up on your phone asking you if you allow the current computer to access your phone, press allow
"adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 120"
-this will make it so that your max refresh rate can be 120Hz. Keep in mind you can set this to either 48, 60, 90, 120 or 144.
"adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 120"
-this will set your minimum refresh rate that the phone will default to when it thinks that it doesn't need the maximum refresh rate. Again it can be set to 48, 60, 90, 120 or 144.
Note: You do not need to reboot, the changes are instant. You can freely use the power saving feature (it sets the refresh rate to 60 when enabled) as turning it off retains the parameters set. The parameters also remain after rebooting. You will have to re-introduce these commands only if you switch the refresh rate option in the settings. This is for the most part a one-time fix.
What this basically does is set the refresh rate parameters for your phone. Android has adaptive refresh rate that oscillates based on the content you watch. The "min_refresh_rate" is the lowest refresh rate your phone will use when conserving power (e.g sitting idle on a .pdf file or watching a 60fps video) and the "peak_refresh_rate" is the highest refresh rate the phone will reach when doing tasks it deems appropriate for 120fps. At least in theory. The reality is that setting any sort of parameters that aren't a fixed refresh rate (e.g 144Hz peak with 90Hz min) will be refused by your device, and it will choose to switch to 60Hz when it feels like it even if you have specifically set it to not do that.
I have used the phone for about a week now with these settings, and I'm positive it is better with 120Hz min and peak. You do not get touch issues at this refresh rate and your phone also doesn't annoyingly switch to 60Hz when scrolling through a web browser or Instagram. It is pinned to 120Hz. Although it sucks that the device is not usable at 144Hz, this is the best solution at the moment until Motorola decides to fix their device.
I unfortunately doubt this fixes the issues with the Indian release of the phone. From my understanding, the Indian market has received a varient that has an AMOLED display that comes with issues far more severe than what I've experienced on my unit. Hopefully it is a software issue rather than a hardware one.

I'll try this later tonight. Thanks for the tip.
Also, Motorola has announced in their forum that there is a fix coming for the touch issue in a software update.

Yes, I know this. But we all know Motorola is very slow with updates. If we get that fix by the end of the year we'll be very lucky. Set the refresh to 120 and 120 respectively. I feel that the phone is way more usable this way. I'll update the guide too.

My touch still had problems in 144Hz mode after doing this. In auto I never really had an issue. However it is useful to let the phone run at 120Hz all the time.

No I don't, only in 144Hz mode. Didn't have issue in auto mode before fixing the refresh rate either. Anyway let's hope the future update will fix 144Hz mode.

Yeah. Let's hope that it's at least not hardware related and can actually be fixed.

Question Display hue flickering

I don't really know how to explain or describe this problem I am having. But while I'm staring at my screen for example in the settings menu I can see the color or the background change from one color to another and it keeps going back and forward. I tried to get screen recordings and screenshots but it does not get captured during screen recordings even tho it's happening while recording. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Edit: I think it has something to do with the refresh rate going from 60 to 120. I noticed this because I have my refresh rate monitor on the status bar

Adaptive brightness?

So I noticed it only happens when the refresh rate goes down to 48hz. I use Galaxy max Hz app to force 48hz when its just idling. When I set it to 60hz it's fine

Question Refresh Rate stuck at 120hz (battery drain)

Pretty sure, my oneplus 10 pro is stuck at 120hz the whole time which drains A LOT of battery. BUT, isn't this phone meant to be LTPO 2.0 technology which has variable refresh rate as low as 1hz. I am so confused why it doesn't drop to 1hz. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP . I tried those stupid apps like smart hertz and they are useless, shouldn't the phone itself drop to 1hz, like bruh

Hi, in the developper options settings you can toggle on a settings that show you the live framerate of the screen. You will see it drops at 1hz when nothing is happening on the screen. Warning : it drops only to 10hz when brightness is at middle, and stay at 120hz all time at mid brightness
Hope it helps you
Edit : i tried and mine is also stuck at 120hz or 60hz but never dropping below
It was working few months ago

Working fine here
Screen Recorder Doesn't Support 120fps Record

It's stuck on 120hz on my side on lower brightness levels.
On the Standard refresh rate setting, it's altering between 60hz & 30hz on lower brightness levels.

@regrestbuyingOP10pro are you in quad HD + ? If so try to go back at full HD +, then reboot
On my side variable refresh rate worked again after that, but as soon as I go for quad HD it brake it
Still great battery life with quad HD tho
Edit : tried it again and does not worked this time. I really dont know what's causing that, maybe with debloat I disabled an app nedded for that

Have you used the magisk module, because some time ago, because of some modules, the screen can only switch between 120 and 60hz

Interesting, indeed I have some Magisk modules and Lsposed modules. I disabled them all but did not change... Still stuck at 120hz and dropping only to 60 and only when watching a vidéo or with keyboard openend, just as you described. I will restore some disabled system app to see if there is a link

So i removed root completely, i restored ALL the system apps that i disabled long time ago to debloat the phone, and removed some apps that can changes system settings such as Naptime, 3C toolbox, DarkQ
Rebooted a couple of times and this damn phone is still stuck at 120Hz
I will give up there, except if you have other ideas to test, but i'm too lazy to do a factory reset to see if a ****ter user app is causing this...
Someone have his phone that is dropping fine to 10hz or 1hz with OOS 13 C22, C25 or C26 ?
To know if it is not a system issue of these builds, please tell me

I have never rooted my phone. Refresh rate is working fine for me on C26

Yep, I can lock some app that were 60hz to 120hz like snapchat, and lock some apps to 60hz
But it don't fix my issue : if I stop scrolling to read something, my screen will never drop hz, and stay still at 120 or 60 depending on how I set it
