What’s the Best Way to Stop Throttling on Your OnePlus? (Quick Solutions)
Throttling can feel like your phone’s holding back, it’s frustrating, especially when you want your device to perform at its peak. Here’s how you can tackle this issue and get the most out of your OnePlus device.
Why Does Throttling Happen?
Manufacturers limit how much power apps and games can use to protect your phone from overheating or wearing out too fast. But sometimes, these limits can be too strict, locking you out of your device’s full potential.
What Problems Does Throttling Cause?
- FPS Drops: Gaming feels sluggish as frame rates dip to 55 FPS.
- Touch Sampling Rate Reduction: Screen responsiveness drops from 240Hz to 120Hz.
- Display Features Disabled: Tools like “Image Sharpener” and “Video Color Boost” stop working.
If you’re okay with pushing your device temporarily, there are ways to bypass these restrictions.
Two Methods to Fix Throttling
Method 1: Without Root
No root means fewer headaches—no issues with banking apps, Netflix, or Play Integrity checks.
- Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Enable USB Debugging on your phone (Settings > Developer Options).
- Connect your phone to the PC via USB cable.
- Open Command Prompt in the platform-tools folder and type:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oplus.battery
- Done! Your device is now free from throttling.
You won’t be able to view battery stats in Settings anymore.
Method 2: Via Root
Rooting avoids battery section issues but comes with its own risks—Play Integrity failures, banking app restrictions, etc.
- Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Root your device using tools like Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch.
- Download these modules:
- Flash the modules onto your device using Magisk or a custom recovery tool.
- Restart your phone for changes to take effect.
Important Notes
- Only use these methods for short bursts of high performance.
- Re-enable throttling after heavy usage to protect your device long-term.
- Proceed with caution; these tweaks come with risks.
Throttling is annoying but manageable with the right approach. Whether you choose the root or non-root method depends on how much control you want versus how much risk you’re willing to take.
