Ultra power save mode problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I had to factory reset my phone recently because I couldn't exit out of ultra power save mode. Not sure what causes the issue. From what I've read on-line it's been a problem since the galaxy s6. What would happen when going into ultra power save mode is the phone would get stuck when going from the regular theme to Grey scale. So you would have to turn the phone off and on. Once the phone is back on. It will have the default theme but still act as if it's in ultra power save mode. Not sure if Samsung is aware of this or not. I would be very careful when using that mode.

Never happened on my S6 or S7 now, the fact its happened on both for you suggests this could be PEBCAK

[Q] Phone Won't Vibrate

Last night my battery went dead. I was in NYC and was having too much fun to worry about charging the phone. Wen i got it charged I noticed my keyboard didn't vibrate when I typed... I figured the power loss prompted the phone to turn off the haptic feedback. I went into setting and found everything to be ok.
I ten trying changing the phone volume to off/vibrate... and the phone didn't vibrate. I have been through every setting and I don't see what's wrong. I called a friend that works at sprint and his response was "come get a new phone"
anyone else have this problem or know of the solution?
Reboot the phone or if all else fails go to a sprint store and get a replacement or backup your data like contacts pictures and apps and then do a factory reset.

check to see if you don't have "power saving mode" enabled.
settings >> my device >> power saving mode
it happens sometimes when the phone gets that low on juice.

Ultra / power saving - impact on services

Hi,
I switched once to ultra power savings and found out that when I get back into normal mode, I have to manually re-enable some settings (like location etc.)
I find it quite annoying that if those services are being turned off, why can't the phone re-enable them when I get out of the saving mode...
In any case, is there a list of which services are being disabled /changes the mode does so I can remember revert all of them back?
Thanks,

Good question... I'll be here waiting too.

Note 4 Power Saving automatically turns off

Hi guys,
Having an issue with my Note 4 (SM-N910F) international version since the MM 6.0.1 update. I received a further update after the MM 6.0.1 recently and thought the issue would've been fixed but alas, no!
Current version of Software: N910FXXS1DPE7.
Issue is, I have power saving mode turned on and set to: Start power saving "Immediately". However it keeps getting turned off and the screen becomes bright and I could not recognise a pattern how this occurs.
Things tried so far:
-Unticked automatic brightness and dragged all the way to low.
-Smart stay was/is never ticked.
-Auto adjust screen tone is ticked, but unticking that and also leaving automatic brightness turned off still causing power saving to automatically turn off.
-I have tried to check for this issue in Safe mode and it still happens.
Any ideas of what could be causing this? I do not want to do a factor reset for this issue and if it can be avoided after all. Safe mode is somewhat similar isn't it?
I have noticed the issue occur when I start using Gmail app (not the Inbox one), but that is just one scenario.
It seems like the light sensor gets triggered when it faces bright light and turns off power saving mode and screen becomes bright, but just could be a red herring.
Thanks a million!

I have just one problem like yours. When i receive Marshmallow i just update. But Power Saving turns off every reboot. Just back to factory settings and make your wipes. I solve this with wipes and factory.

Thanks. Yeah I am trying to avoid factory reset because can't go thorugh the process of installing apps, setting up all the various accounts etc especially since there is no built in fully restorable backup feature. Family man with kids and have enough IT stuff to do at work.
I'm on stock/non-rooted device also. And this will be my last Samung device, if not the last Android!
I understand you very well. You can use HELIUM apk to make your nandroid backups without root and make easier this tedious work. I don't have rooted my phone but helium makes all faster that, and i use also wondershare mobile go for android and PC.
I hope this helps you and you can resolve your problem. Good luck and regards from Switzerland - (Mexico)

Thanks Tavok. I did download Helium and wanted to test it out, however my phone is now staying in Power Saving mode since a few days! I have done nothing new, didn't uninstall any app or change any settings as such for it to work. This is bugging me because I want to know what fixed it so that I can re-apply the fix again if need be.
I've also read that some people are complaining about Note 4 getting stuck in Power Saving mode and I hope this is not the case with mine, now that it seems to work as expected.
I will update this thread once I check it out further.
I found out how this power saving mode gets turned off. It is the Location settings. If location is off, the power saving mode stays on (this is what it was set to hence I didn't see the issue happening). But when I changed it back to High accuracy, I started to notice the power saving getting turned off from time to time when using certain applications that require Location accuracy.
This is a bug since the MM update!!
Any ideas how to use Location accuracy and still retain Power saving mode?
I did a factory reset and the issue persisted! I tried various location settings(of the 3 choices) asks none of them helped. When set to any one of them power saving automatically turns off after a while I.e. when location needs to be detected. The only workaround us to turnoff location altogether but that messes with the auto sync of accounts! Grrrrrrrr
I verified with Samsung Tech Support that Location and Power Saving are incompatible on the Galaxy Note 4, even with the latest Android version available for the device (6.0.1) . In other words, Turning on Location while Power Saving is active will disable Power Saving after a short period. Fortunately, the problem is fixed on later devices.

Returning from Power Save mode disables accessibility services. FIX?

I like to put my phone into ultra power save mode while I'm work. But when I return to normal energy mode all my accessibility services have been turned off. Is there a way to make these stick between modes? Using latest BTU android 7.

S10 shutting down

My s10 shuts down when I sleep mode my phone
Sleep mode? Like how do you put your whole phone in sleep mode. You can only place individual apps in sleep mode.
Sounds like the battery needs replacing. It is common for ones that are not actually holding a full charge to show as a higher percentage than they actually are.

You might want to try doing a factory reset and fresh set-up (not from any backup including Google Cloud). You could have accidentally enabled a setting that automatically shuts down your phone which can happen in Bixby Routines, the battery settings and probably other places in One UI given how many software features Samsung throws into their phones. If you don't know where to look the easiest thing to do is a factory reset--but if you don't choose the fresh start/new device option when setting up your phone you could end up restoring whatever is causing your problem.
I don’t think the S10 has been out long enough for your battery to be going bad unless it was defective.
@jhs39 has a point, one option is in general settings/ reset .. last option... auto restart.
