I'm having a weird issue where particular apps say my phone is in "power saving mode" when it is not.
This includes S-Health, Google Play Newstand and Ajusto insurance app.
How can I fix this? Power Saving Mode is off!

Hi All,
I have been having trouble with the phone.
The screen has been turning on by itself and not turning off. The screen will not turn off until i hit the power button. It will not turn off until the phone is out of battery.
Is anyone else having this problem?
thanks!
Want to bump this up ... having the same issue. I've uninstalled nearly every app (at least the ones I'd think would be problematic) and it's still happening. I've downloaded Spare Parts today to see if I could figure it out but I don't have enough data yet.
Anyone else have this issue? Even when I press the lock button, I sometimes need to press it multiple times to get the screen to turn off.
I too am having this problem and boy does it suck battery lol

Do you guys have power saving mode enabled or disabled? Just curious, since that's one of the only things (in addition to message notifications) that affects the screen.
can it have anything to do with automatic updates?
i never had this issue. before or after root. i just rooted two days ago
I had this problem before and after root. I also did a factory reset and I thought it was fixed ... but now it's doing it again.
Happens w/ Power Saving mode enabled and disabled.
I've figured out a semi-solution to this which seems to be working:
With Advanced Task Killer:
Enable Auto Kill Frequencey "When screen off"
Set Auto Kill Level to "Aggressive"
Set Security Level to "Medium"
Don't forget to put any apps you don't want killed in the ignore list (like WidgetLocker, your music player, etc.)
This seems to keep the screen locked for me ... but I still can't figure out what app/process is the culprit in waking the screen when it goes to sleep.
I'm using an alarm clock called Morning Routine. It's great since I'm a heavy sleeper, but I have one problem with it. While the program DOES lock the screen and keep me from going home and closing the app, I can still long-press the power button, access the Phone Options menu, and turn the phone off. I'm a heavy enough of a sleeper that I figured out how to do this while still half-conscious. So, I was wondering if it is possible to develop a script to temporarily or permanently do one of the following:
1) Disable the long-press of the power button to launch the Phone Options menu.
2) Remove Power Off from the Phone Options menu (I know some ROMs add Reboot to this menu, so theoretically, couldn't something be removed?)
3) Re-map the long-press of the power button to another function (thereby disabling the Phone Options menu)
None of these will be a problem if they are permanent - I can download an app that will allow me to shutdown my phone from a widget instead of the power button.
Oh, I'm on the crappy ol' Samsung Moment
Admin, feel free to move this if necessary.
+1.
has ANYONE got a fix for this pls?!?! my daughters are driving me CRAZY turning my GTab off...
Try Button Remapper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
As for the reboot option in the power options, have a look at this then reverse the process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811532
you could just get your daughters to not turn off your device...
That's really unhelpful.
I have this issue too - on an HTC desire running DevNull ROM. (Also happens with Oxygen - tried it.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14709327
Please help!
I've had my S7 Edge G935A since release date. I love this phone, never had a problem until yesterday.
So I left work placing my phone in my pocket checked the time after departing since the meeting ran late all looked good on my phone.
walked into my buddy's house wanted to show him a picture, and my entire screen was greyscale, I thought maybe extreme powersave got turned on in my pocket, so I swipe down to access quick settings, and they are all gone, the gear is there. I tap the gear, and settings comes up:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Mobile Networks
More Connection settings
Edge screen
Battery
Help
NO Other settings no way to swipe just access to those settings,
Click my list of apps and only the like the default gapps.
I have not rooted, or done any major things to the phone I did use adb to format the memory card as internal storage.
I searched google and only found options to turn on greyscale, but I had no access to accessibility in settings, no access to power saving mode.
If I restarted my phone it would come up in color then go greyscale.
I took it to AT&T they stared at it for 30 min before recommending a factory reset.
I didn;t want to but I didn't know what else to do.
Has anyone seen this, know what I did, or how to undo it?
It's fixed now I'm just wondering how it happened and how to undo it if I somehow do it again
Lol you just activated ultra power saving mode or emergency mode.

So how do you turn that off without factory wiping it, when it won't give you access settings or apps?
I thought Ultra savings mode too but couldn't turn it off because I didn't have access to settings

Emergency Mode Emergency
mode conserves your device’s remaining power when you are in an emergency situation. Emergency mode saves battery power by:
• Changing the color of the screen to grayscale.
• Restricting application usage to only essential applications and those you select.
• Turning off Mobile data when the screen is off.
• Turning off connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ® .
Note: When Emergency mode is turned off, the Location settings may stay the same as they were in Emergency mode. Activate Emergency Mode To activate Emergency mode:
1. Press and hold the Power key to display the Device options window.
2. Tap Emergency mode > Turn on. • When accessing for the first time, read the Terms and conditions. If you accept them, tap the Checkbox, and then tap Agree. Confirm when prompted.
Turn Off Emergency Mode ?
From the Emergency mode Home screen, tap More > Turn off Emergency mode
This is what it was, but somehow I got the Google Now launcher while in emergency mode, so I didn't have the more option to turn it off.
Thanks I knew someone here would know

When you have either of the modes activated, there is a "more" button on the upper right of the screen (the actual screen area, not the notification). Press that and there should be a turn off option.
When I turn Maximum Power Save mode on my Galaxy S7 edge I can use Google Play Music just fine, but when I turn off Maximum Power Save mode and go back to normal mode, Google Play Music gets disabled in the process for some reason. This issue is consistent and reproducible.
If anyone knows a work around for GPM not becoming disabled after turning off Maximum Power Save mode, let me know.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Android OS: 7.0
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Same Here.
Same problem, S7 regular on Sprint. Google 7.0
I believe I found a workaround for this problem.
Once in Maximum Power Save mode open Google Play Music and then you can do whatever else afterwards except for closing the app from recently opened app history. Then when you turn off Maximum Power Save mode GPM should still be enabled.
Like or reply if this works for you too.
Worked!

Worked well. I have Galaxy S7, T mobile network.
I'm having trouble finding the settings for Power Saving Mode on my S8 anymore. I might have disabled it with Package Disabler, but I disabled a ton of things, so I'm not sure which is relevant.
Anyone know which package works directly with Power Saving Mode?
Currently, if I try to hit the Power Saving Mode toggle in my notification drawer, it just says "turning off medium power saving mode" everytime I hit it. Here's a video to show what I mean: https://streamable.com/f7rlc
I also can't find any battery or power saving settings in the Settings App.
