Anyone have the idea about how the power saving mode work ?
I have the phone set to medium power saving mode ,with the "restrict background Data" toggle off. So it suppose to allow notification like from Gmail or Yahoo mail or any kind of IM to show up when the screen is off. But that doesn't happen at all . I only get new email or message whenever I have my screen on again . Any idea ?
Thank you

Hi,
When fully charged my battery lasts about 30 hours, which is totally useless! Therefore I am trying to set all possible powersaving options to the most "efficient".
I have:
- stopped animated weather backgrund.
- stopped automatic updates on weather forecast.
- lowered the background light to 40%
I believe one of the most efficient ways of getting longer battery capacity is turning off the 3G, but I can't get ActiveSync to work without it beeing on. When I turn the 3G off, and then ActiveSync, the 3G stays on when sync is done.
I only need 3G when surfing web-pages, I don't really care if synchronizing e-mail and calendar takes 10 or 30 seconds. Can anybody help me out here?
Any other settings to keep powerusage to a minimum?
Shorten backlight duration.
Regularly kill background apps.
Press power button manually after each use.
Disable vibration in setting > personalize > Vibration.
Turn off tapping sound.
Enable pocket mode in ring-tones settings.
Use short ring-tones.
Enable 3G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth when required.
Make Bluetooth discoverable for 60 seconds only (not sure whether it saves battery)
set dim backlight & off g-sencor. it helps a lot.
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 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.
Hi,
I'm frequently switching power saving modes (between medium and off) because I've noticed data sync operations sometimes fail when in medium mode and I don't get notifications/data I need.
Unfortunately during power saving modes switching there appears some annoying, useless and time consuming splash screen telling what kind of optimizations are turned on/off and how much battery time is going to be saved. Also when switching to medium mode there is also annoying confirmation modal dialog. Basically I don't give a f*** about this information and I need no confirmations since I know what I do.
I'd prefer power saving modes switching to work like turning on/off flashlight or WiFi at home.
Anybody know how to achieve that without flashing ROM/rooting? Currently using Android 7.0.
Thanks.
anyone else having this issue ? i thought it was me at first but its done it more than once i used smart switch switching all my info from a s8 plus i dont know if something is corrupting it or i have a setting wrong
Settings > battery > power mode > disable adaptive power saving

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah he told you to disable ADAPTIVE power saving off if you want to keep medium power saving on most of the time.
Oh u cant use bolth at the same time?
scroll down from home screen to open quick settings > tap and hold power mode > set adaptive power saving to off (it's the slider at the bottom).
So it's either one or the other? Not bolth at the same time?
Is the power mode supposed to turn off when u charge ur phone? I keep on having to toggle it back on when I take my phone off the charger I'm coming from a s8 I never had this issue before it was always on charging or not charging
