Is power saving mode only useful when the CPU is being used heavily? Or will it help my battery life while the phone is sleeping?

Do tweaks and software for power saving only help when you use the phone or in sleep mode too?
Because when the phone is in sleep mode...isn't everything except phone on idle?
Thanks
You'd need to ask the people that have provided you with the "power saving", as they know what it does. Ask on the threads where you downloaded the software.
Hey guys..
I am on Rooted MG5 with Persues Alpha 9. I have been facing this issue since ever I flashed MG1 and then MG5... Battery consumption on ideal mode is ridiculous..
When I go to sleep (12AM), I keep my phone's Wifi On... When I wake up (7.30AM) almost 20% of juice is consumed.. Even when Power Saving Mode is enabled.
Couple of days back, I tried turning off Wifi and Mobile Data connection.. Even then around 10-15% of battery was consumed. I don't really understand why does it take that much battery..
Yesterday I tried different experiment. I put my phone on Airplane mode, disabled Wifi, Enabled Power Saving mode.. Battery consumption was like 4-5%.. I still feel for phone in ideal mode this is too much..
Anyone else is having the same issue? or is it just me? shall I try flashing another firmware? I am not at all happy with battery life
Use BetterBatteryStats to see what's using your battery or maybe wakelocks
I will try using BetterBatteryStats.. Hope It will show the culprit service.
I know my m7 would turn on power saver at a certain % but I dont see any options on the s5 to designate that all...and my battery hasnt run down enough to see if it kicks on.
I THOUGHT I read you could designate a % number for when saver would turn on...am I blind or just misinformed?
When you don't have to charge your phone at night and with the doze function integrated in the Os, using the battery saving option makes any sense?
Someone measure the differences with and without power saving enable to know how much battery you lose in one night ?
thanks
So, after a few day testing, my results are:
With power saving mode, i lost about 8% in 9 hours of sleep.
Without power saving mode, i lost 6% in the same 9 hours of sleep.
I wasn´t expecting that.
Basically the same I got....I see that with power save I only get +-30 minutes more battery time then without power save.. No use then for me to really use power save
The 'adaptive power saving' mode is resulting in higher battery drain overnight (about 8-10%) compared to optimized mode (2-3%). I have tested this for a few nights and the results are the same. Disabling the adaptive power saving helps but this is not the solution as it defeats the very purpose of the feature. It's a similar issue with 'Medium Power Save' mode. Enabling this makes no difference to standby battery and overnight drain is anywhere between 6-10% compared to optimized mode. I dont have the screengrabs but I'm sure of this issue. Not sure if its just me or is this an Android 10 issue. (S10+ Exynos here).

i am using s10e, and i experiencing similar problem with yours. Medium power save mode drains more battery than ootimized mode.
That sounds ridiculous, samsung must fix it.
