How To Guide Bypass battery while charging/gaming

[hazart]

OK, it does work!

I tested the bypass feature with a power meter, enabling and disabling the option in an alternating fashion. After disabling the bypass option, it takes about 1 second for the power meter reading to abruptly go up. After enabling the bypass option, it takes about 7 seconds for the power meter reading to abruptly go down.

Bypass disabled while playing a game: 19 W
Bypass enabled while playing a game: 6 W

When it's working, notification panel would just say, "Charging", without "xx minutes until full." The battery indicator would still have a charging sign, but I guess it's just telling you that a charger is connected.

Power adaptor needs to support both PD and PPS.

charging maximum speed when screen off.
slower speed after 80 percent.

Another confirmation from my side.
Got a Third Party charger with PD and PPS and it works. Only available if you plug the compatible charger in and go to game booster.
I even checked it with DevCheck, the charging speed lowers as soon you enter the game and gets faster if you leave the game.
Works for my S23 base model.

The charger I got:

Toocki 67W GaN USB C
Be aware that it only supports PPS woth max. 3.3A so no 45W for S23+ and S23 Ultra
Bonus info:
The same applies to a Z Flip4

my iqoo11 120 watt charger support too.
tested on s23 ultra.

but only super fast charging mode only(25 watt),not super fast charging 2.0(45 watt).

Can someone check if it'd work by adding an app to the game launcher/booster to "qualify" them as games?

I have tried adding lightroom and while it adds it to the list, once you launch the app, game booster doesn't start. Not sure if there is a way to trick it. Would have loved to get this working for lightroom and Dex mode

run game,

no need to open app from game launcher.

What I meant was if you could class a non-game app as a game one by adding it to the game launcher so the bypass would kick in without an actual game (like a 3rd pty launcher or web browser or maybe even dex (which currently isn't available in the app picker.

Since i not play games, i am very interrested in this option too. For navigation (Google Maps) this would be very useful, when the charger is connected sometimes for hours in the car.

 

[HorizonJ]

It doesn't let you add system apps, so I can't add Maps. If I add an app that's not a game to the games launcher, it pops up with a warning saying that the app is not a game. When you launch the app, you don't get the game booster notification. So bypass doesn't work on non-games (yet)

may be you can ask liteapk to mod your app.

then there is mod apk for you.
but you can't update anymore from play store.

you must ask again for update mod apk to latest version.

run an app while charging phone at same time will generate heat.
battery life time will be shorter because heat problem.

but if there is cooler at back,there is no problem at all.
cooler is like refrigerator at 12~15 celcius.

I tried to open a "no game app" (Maps) in split screen while running a game in the second window. As long the window with the game is the active one, the bypass kicks in. When you switch to the window with the other app, the used power of the charger raises instantly and the estimated charging time until full is displayed. So this seems to be no workaround and bypass is limited only to games, which is sad.

nice info.

To have the bypass-feature switchable by a quicksettings-toggle, no matter which app is used, would be perfect. Would make the option in gamebooster obsolete and could be useful for many situations so safe the battery. Maybe it comes in future updates if the resonance from the gamers is good. Fingers crossed.

settings,apps,game booster,game booster settings.

My mobile operator application can directly access the game booster settings.

 

[neosound]

Interesting. Did you add the operator app manualy to game launcher or was it recognised as a "game" ?

 

[EtherealRemnant]

I would assume you can add any app you want to use that has high power consumption as a "game" and it will optimize the charging just the same as an actual one. It would be dumb for that not to be the case seeing how hundreds of games are released every week.

It would be annoying to add every app one uses to the game launcher. I'd rather just replace the battery yearly or bi-yearly honestly.

auto.

there is game booster menu at screen left side,below.

may be,usage time is higher than other app.

you can try google maps,run more usage time than other app.
then google maps will appear in game launcher.

need a try.

As HorizonJ said above, manually added apps to game launcher dont make game booster to show up when starting the app. Because its not possible to ad maps, i tried lucus maps, added it to game launcher but when starting the app from game launcher, game booster is not available.

I don't think this is how gamelauncher works. The are apps used the very often and long through the day an they are not shown in game launcher. It's meant for games. Maps will never show up there.
