1. Fixing Battery Drain & Optimization
The Z9 has a massive battery, but Funtouch OS background services can eat it up. Let's fix the idle drain.
- Background Power Management: Go to Settings > Battery > Background Power Consumption. Set apps like Instagram and Facebook to "Restrict Background Power Usage".
- Disable "High Performance": Ensure you are not running in "Monster Mode" for daily tasks like WhatsApp or browsing. Use "Balanced Mode" in battery settings.
- 5G Optimization: If 5G signal is weak in your area, the modem works overtime. Switch to "4G/LTE" to save up to 20% battery daily.
2. Fixing App Freezes & Stutter
Is your UI lagging? It's often due to Virtual RAM conflict.
- Extended RAM: Go to Settings > RAM & Storage > RAM. If you have the 8GB model, turn OFF "Extended RAM". Virtual RAM is slower than physical RAM and causes stutter.
- App Clone: Avoid using "App Clones" for heavy apps. They consume double system resources.
- Animation Scale: Go to Developer Options and change "Window/Transition/Animator Scale" to 0.5x. This makes the phone feel instant.
3. Solving Heating Issues (Gaming)
The Dimensity 7200 is efficient, but heavy gaming in direct sunlight can cause throttling.
- Ultra Game Mode: While gaming, slide out the Game Sidebar. Switch from "Monster Mode" to "Balanced" if the temperature exceeds 40°C.
- Remove Case: The Z9 has a plastic back which traps heat. Remove the TPU case during heavy BGMI/COD sessions.
- Refresh Rate: In Game Settings, lock the FPS. Variable refresh rate switching can generate extra heat on the GPU.
4. Resolving 120Hz & Display Issues
Sometimes the 120Hz screen feels like 60Hz. Here is how to force smoothness.
- Force 120Hz: Go to Display & Brightness > Screen Refresh Rate. Don't use "Smart Switch". Select "120Hz" to force smoothness everywhere.
- Visual Enhancement: Go to Display settings and turn OFF "Visual Enhancement" for YouTube/Netflix. It uses extra battery and GPU power.
- Touch Sampling: In Ultra Game Mode, ensure "4D Game Vibration" and Touch Sensitivity are calibrated for your specific game.
Additional Maintenance (Steps 13-15)
- Step 13 (Updates): Check System Update > Trial Version. iQOO often releases bug fixes in "Trial" before stable rollout.
- Step 14 (Bloatware): Remove "Hot Apps" and "Hot Games" from V-Appstore settings. They run in the background and send notifications.
- Step 15 (Factory Reset): Settings > System > Reset Options > Erase all data. Backup to Google Drive first.
