[ROG Phone 3] New Feature - Bypass Charging!

admin
Hi all!
With the new firmware update rolling out WW starting from Sep 21 , version below, we are also introducing a new feature in Game Genie
17.0823.2008.70
The 'Bypass Charging' feature is added to Game Genie, and can be enabled in-game , to temporarily allow power to the system by plugging in the charger , yet not charge the battery. This feature can prevent system from heavily draining battery while playing games yet avoid the charging of the battery which can in instances introduce extra heat.
- Added “Bypass charging” feature in the in-game Game Genie panel. Allows you to power the system without charging the battery.
GLHF!

Woah! Thats a cool new gamer centric feature. Can't wait to test it out. 👍👍
Thats really neat I would say.
Great update thanks !!!
Can we have the same for Rog 2 ?
Thanks for this feature.
I have a weak internet, how can I update a device 😂😂
1 option you can sell the phone and buy better internet connection. 😀😀😀
Ha ha ha ha
Nice feature, can we have this on all the time instead of just in game app? Like sometimes I just want to use the phone and only use bypass power and not battery all the time.
Perhaps instead of game genie, perhaps be a button in the top drop down menu?
Or you can add whatever app you want to use in game genie toolbar and use it as an workaround 😁
I know, but when I go to home it starts charging, or like during switching apps.
Also I don't want to go to power mode in regular app waste power.
Also now slow charging is fixed? Does not seem as hot with 10w now
For system wide, there is this "Charging limiter" in the PowerMaster / Mobile Manager setting.
Please refer to that instead.
I did set to 80%, but I notice battery keep dropping to 79, then back to 80, then repeat, and the phone got hot, so I thought like it stopped charging at 80, then at 79 start charging, etc.
Or am I wrong?
Yup that is what I am experiencing too.
Yeah, its not slow charge. It is to prevent the system from charging above 80%
Hot or not is very difficult for us to comment on as it depends on your scenario. Just charging from 9->80 shouldnt introduce any significant heat.
If you are playing games or benchmarks, or downloading through 4G/5G connection - etc.
If you are experiencing problems and would like debugging, please create a separate thread - it is easier for our moderators to follow a specific thread with a specific issue.
Some one i need help bout my signal in rog3 while playing or not the signal is gone :( need someone admin or dev pls
32 degree Celsius temperature .. how??
I wasnt playing. Yet to test that feature. But won't until I know how it affects all the internal components. Have a lot of questions. @CH_ASUS
* Does the phone run on AC power constantly.
* Does the phone heat up more than usual when doing the same activity, in turn causing frame drops.
* What are the long term effects, if there are any?
* what if I am on 100% does the battery stays at 100%, similarly if i am on 1% battery what happens.
As we have this feature I would not shy away and ask, can have some graphs in battery section or somewhere to check how much time bypass feature was used?
Bybass charging not work for me. It still charging the batt even if it is turned on. Any help? Thanks
Please create a thread with your problem - refrain from nesting questions about other topics in threads as it makes it really difficult for everyone to follow up.
I never got OTA update , always do manual update but today update have no manual from site?, How do i receive OTA update?
So i tried bypass charging while playing and sadly it wasn't working and idk why, the phone battery before playing was 63% and after i done playing it was 76% ( which shouldn't have happening ) also the device temperature was hot as u can see , as usually even with charging my device temperature doesn't rose more than 41°c
