Screen power saving mode?

Can anyone explain to me what happens when screen power saving mode is enabled in settings so far I always keep it enabled and all it seems to do is dim the display a bit and increase the battery life massively. Can anyone tell me if it's doing anything like slowing down my phone slightly with animations or something cause I don't want to be missing out, but so far that's all I can see.

it seems to dim my display quite a bit.. :/
I ended up disabling it.

If you click on power saving mode in settings it should show what you want and give you further options. It's that way on the Note 2.

Ive only checked this option in my power saving settings. Ive turned off power saving for both cpu and haptic feedback. Ive noticed it only dims the display a bit. Is there anything else that this setting does?

Looks to me like it lowers the Gamma value of the screen.
You can just as easily set the brightness to 80% yourself... Same effect

I've read somewhere when i was using note 2 that the cpu is reduce to two core only. I dont know is it true or not.

I turned it on and off with brightness at 90% and there was no difference between the two. So it just lowers the maximum brightness by about 10%.

That's the CPU setting in the power saving menu. We're talking about the screen mode setting.

i only got this one, pls try it ..

can't uninstall this sony
I try this apk in my z3 dual but my problem is that i can't delet this app or unistall it.
Also it is in chinease

Since installing it my battery life is terrible. I've hardly used my phone today and I'm down to 19% battery which is ridiculous. Normally I'd still have over 50% by this time of day after charging the night before. I only normally charge it every other day.

If you ask for uninstall it, then you go to Settings/ Security / Device Administrator - and uncheck this Sony Lock App.
After that you will have option to uninstall from App drawer.

Why not just hit the power button on the side of the phone haha? Im sure some people may use this, to me its rather pointless.

Meizu MX5 and push notification issues

I bought them for almost two months and overall satisfied with everything except one thing - push notification issue. This is apply to all apps that owner need to be notified such as LINE, WhatsApp or even Gmail. It would happen around 1-3 minutes after your phone standby. Delay could be from 5 minutes to 15 minutes and more. No "Power saving" and "Wifi sleep" enabled. This was happen a much less when I was with 4..5.2.5A rom and much more when I upgraded to 4.5.2.7A. You could see messages only if you open those app manually most of the times. It was ridiculous
Here are solutions I tried and non of them work so far.
1. Went to Security --> Permissions --> Set "LINE" / "Google Services Framework" / "Google Account Manage" as auto restart.
2. above + Went to Security --> Power Saving --> Set "LINE" available to run while idle. Two setting simultaneously and still not work.
3. above two + lock "LINE" application to work on background. Three combination still doesn't ring a bell.
4. Roll back to 4.5.2.4A / 4.5.2.2A / 4.5.2.1A and still the same. (4.5.2.5A has been merged by Meizu developer so non available for download at the time.)
5. Try install almost every Launcher, every notification apps and even "push notification fixer" (for non-root) and still the same.
Do you have any idea or recommendation for a custom rom or a custom fix for this issue?

Hi.
I have just the same issue with recently bought Meizu M2 mini: Hangouts, Skype, Gmail - no notifications.... It's really frustrating

I have never had notification problems with M2 and MX5, this is what I do:
Security App, permission, Launch. Here every app to notify. Google stuff also.
Security app, powersaving. The same
Also this apps blocked in the multitask
Settings, wifi, advanced, wifi sleep disabled

Lock the app in ram via multitasking bar, this will not let the app to turn off.

anyone find a solution to this?

Hi
I found the solution 100% working for me. Just enter in security app/power/settings and disable the option " disable Linked Launch" thats all. Enjoy!

I had the same problem and solved it by
1. un checking 'disable linked launched'
2. Allowing all apps in security/power/app management

Notification LEDs off in DND or charge?

Hi,
Is there a way to access the pictured setting via Tasker or some other way? Light Flow causes more problems than solving... It bucks up my notifications...
All I want to do is turn of the LED when in DND mode or on charge at night...

I found this app that is a plugin for tasker that was initially written for the Galaxy S3, but I've tested it and it works for the S7 Edge and I'm using it for my night profile.

Set up a profile for DND and use State->Variables->Variable Value->find "Interrupt Mode" in the list of variables (or manually type %INTERRUPT)
Depending on the DND mode, the values are either ALL, PRIORITY, ALARMS, or NONE
If you want the profile to activate on any DND mode, use %INTERRUPT neq ALL
Then make your task and use the LED controller plug in and under configuration set everything to off. Then create an exit task and set all of the items under "LED Settings" to on.

The DND profile runs non stop whether I'm in DND or not

I've tried different operators. Some keep the DND profile running regardless of the state and others stay off regardless...

I did eventually figure it out - i just could not get to the CORRECT notification access settings page...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117829

I used the plug-in and just created a profile to turn off the LED during a specific time period, which is the same time period I have DND activated.

The plug-in reference in post #2 is no longer available in the Play Store. Does anyone have a copy of it they could post here, or send to me? I accidentally deleted it off my phone.
Edit: Never mind, I found it here:

[TIP] Enable Hidden Reading Mode in OnePlus 3/3T

Hi everyone!
I've found that the OnePlus 5's "Reading Mode", which has been exclusive to the OP5 from the start, has been integrated in the latest OOS 5.0 Update for the OnePlus 3/3T but is still hidden, as expected so that this can remain an exclusive to the OP5/5T

}
Here's how to access the hidden settings:-
I used Nova Launcher Prime for doing this.
1. Add a Nova Launcher Activity by going into widgets.
2. Scroll down to Settings & then find "Reading Mode" & select that.
Now by clicking on that created Activity, you can access the hidden Reading Mode settings

This is great! And OnePlus said that this feature won't make it to OP3/3T via a SW update because of hardware shortcomings. I'm not sure why would they do this..

Yes they did I believe they added this mode by mistake in the OOS build for the 3/3T. I wish the new 5T's Face Unlock implementation also arrives for our 3/3T

Thanks!! Awesome work. :good::good:

This doesn't really work as it should.
We lack a hardware sensor, RGB ambient light sensor.
So what we get is basically Night mode with the Monochromatic profile.
The real deal should adapt the color of the display to the color temperature of the surroundings.
This was already possible to achieve without this entry, by enabling both the features I mentioned.
But congrats on the find. :good:
OOS ROMs are getting as stuffed as a turkey on Thanksgiving.

Thats a great find bro. Thanks for sharing

Didn't work for me.
Whenever I switch in reading mode. It goes grey for 1 second and then back to normal! Any solution?
