Since installing this my device started over heating......did this happen to anyone else out there?

My phone runs cooler after setting it to 96hz.
I use the adb method to set max value so the VRR still works. Using the app will fixed to 96hz.

Now I touch screen, it goes to 96hz. A moment later it drops back to 60. Playing yt, it drops to 48hz.

Can you please tell me how to set my phone to adaptive as I'm confused and don't understand? I have downloaded the app to my S20U Exynos but nothing changes but when I go into the app and click on 96hz. I'm using medium power saving.

Hi,
Just uninstall the app and go into settings>display >motion smoothness leave in adaptive. Not any power save mode other then optimized or high performance will turn it off unless you go through bixby routines as there a thread for that .Screenshot_20201015-183917_Settings.jpeg

Thank you mustang for your quick reply. I have looked at at my settings but I don't have adaptive, only high and standard. Don't know what to do. I'm back on optimised battery. I don't use Bixby routines.

That's awesome! The CPU started heating to the point I had never felt before. Still not sure why this happened.
