The Settings application allows you to manage various parameters of your Flipper Zero. With this application, you can customize settings such as the Bluetooth connection, screen brightness, storage, and power management, as well as secure your device by setting a PIN code. Additionally, the Settings application provides you with detailed information about your device and digital pet.



Settings Menu

You can access the Settings application by going to Main Menu -> Settings.

System

Customize your Flipper Zero system settings:

  • Switch between right-handed and left-handed modes.
  • Set your preferred units for measurements.
  • Choose your time and date formats.
  • Adjust how much detail is shown in logs.
  • Enable advanced features like Debug mode and memory leak analysis.
  • Disable power-saving mode, which is set as default.

Two sleep modes are available for your Flipper Zero: Default and Legacy. The Default sleep mode has a power consumption of around 1.5 mA, resulting in a longer battery life. However, you may experience device crashes while using this mode. Legacy sleep mode has a power consumption of 9 mA, leading to shorter battery life but provides more stability to your device.

You can switch to Legacy sleep mode by setting Sleep Method to Legacy.

To learn more, visit the Power modes section.

Log levels

You can filter and prioritize log messages based on their severity, making it easier to identify and address issues that may arise in your Flipper Zero. Starting with the Error log level, each log level adds more messages to be logged. Log messages are printed to the console via UART and can also be printed to the command-line interface (CLI) with the help of the log command.

The following log level options are available:

  • Default: Equivalent to the Info log level.
  • None: No events are logged.
  • Error: Only errors are logged.
  • Warning: Errors and warnings are logged.
  • Info: Errors, warnings, and info messages are logged.
  • Debug: Errors, warnings, info, and debug messages are logged.
  • Trace: Errors, warnings, info, and debug messages are logged, as well as tracing information from various subsystems.
<div class="warning flipper-callout">
    <div class="callout-header">As the level of logging increases, the device's stability decreases</div>
     To maintain stability and prevent performance degradation and a slow user interface, we recommend setting the log level only when required, as the device logs more events with each level.
</div>


Debug mode

Enabling Debug mode provides additional debugging functionality in Sub-GHz, 125 kHz RFID, NFC, and Infrared applications, as well as new commands in CLI. For example, you can read low-frequency RFID card's RAW data by going to Main Menu -> 125 kHz RFID -> Extra Actions -> Read RAW RFID data.

Debug mode also provides access to the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface. If you disable Debug mode on your Flipper Zero, the SWD interface will become unavailable.

<div class="warning flipper-callout">
    <div class="callout-header">The device is less stable in Debug mode</div>
     Enable this mode only when necessary, as the mode disables power-saving features and introduces logging for various functions. Consequently, the device's performance may degrade, leading to a slower user interface and reduced stability.
</div>


Heap Trace

A heap trace is a log of memory allocations and deallocations that occur in your Flipper Zero. The heap trace records information about each allocation, including the size of the block of memory allocated, the address of the block of memory, and the time at which it was allocated. Heap traces are useful for debugging memory-related issues, such as memory leaks. Heap Trace log messages are printed to the console via UART.
