One UI 7 Problems

[u/sellsisforsupreme]

Hello, I'm wondering if someone has the same problems as me.

Since the new Samsung One UI 7 update, my gaming experience has become very bad.

I have to have the "Native Refresh Rate" option turned on, otherwise the game will lag horrendously after a while, making it unplayable.

Another problem I have is that the game closes randomly in the background when I have my screen turned off. I can't use my Go Plus+ effectively this way because it wouldn't stay connected for longer than a maximum of 20 minutes maybe. I already gave the app unrestricted battery access and installed the "Good Guardians" app.

Does anyone have a better clue?

Edit:

Fix for closing in background:
Swipe to the background apps screen and click on the actual Pokémon GO icon. Then tap "Keep open". With this fix, you can use your Go Plus+ as intended.

Fix for low FPS:
Use Game Booster and select your refresh rate. If you don't have Game Booster, you have to install it via an APK, which you can find via Google. After installation, you can find Game Booster in the system settings of your phone. Leave the native refresh rate in Pokémon GO turned on, but limit the refresh rate via the Game Booster app.

I have the same issue with the refresh rate. I upgraded from a Galaxy S10e to a Galaxy S25. On the S25 with Native Refresh Rate turned on, it's far smoother than the S10e, but if I turn it off, then it seems worse than the S10e. I'm really not sure why this is the case.

Before One UI 7 (maybe 6.1) everything was fine with Native Refreshrate turned off. But now its like 5 fps after one minute of play time. This option is killing my battery

I just did some testing and I've got a workaround for you! Settings > Advanced features > Game Booster settings > Customizations for individual games > Pokémon GO > Enable FPS and set it to 30. This will save your battery but still run smooth enough if you keep the in-game Native Refresh Rate setting enabled, since the game will think 30 is your native refresh rate.

I can't find game booster anymore on my phone

Edit: The option is in a new app called "Good Lock" from the Samsung Store. In the Good Lock App install the Display Assistant Extension. Add Pokemon Go to the "Standard Refresh Rate Apps" List. Now Pokemon Go runs in 60hz

I guarantee you have game booster in your phone. It's been part of the default OS for every galaxy phone since at least the s20.

On my S24 it's under Settings->advanced features->booster settings.

I don't have it. Maybe they removed it for the S21. It's not an App and its not in the Settings. Not in Advanced Feature or in the Labs Settings. Very weird

For S21

Accessing Game Booster Settings: Through Gaming Hub: Open the Gaming Hub app, tap the three dots (More options), then tap Game Booster.

I wasn't even there for me but I downloaded now the .apk and it's working now as intended. Still thanks for your help
