Hi,
In the "Power mode" screen, where you can switch between "high performence", "optimized" ou "medium/maximum power saving"... there is a Adaptive Power Saving setting.
Do you know how it work ? is it useful ?
Thank you
AFAIK it's reducing background checks for applications. Probably all messanger apps will suffer the most.
Yes, it switches to medium power saving in apps that do not ask for too many resources( depending on user actions), it also automatically sets your profile to medium power saving when your battery goes under 30% or 25%, sets it back to optimised whenever you need it, I recommend it.

Hi all,
Can anyone shed some light on this question? How does power consumption differ between always suspend the UNI versus always ScreenOff the UNI, is there a big difference?
P.S. ( Does any one know how to make the middle button become the power on/off button? I tried AEPlus Button and it cannot remap the power switch)
Thanks!!!
During suspend mode, most of the non-essential hardware is turned off (e.g. SD Card is unmounted, Screen off, CPU is under-clocked @ 104 MHz etc.) This mode can be compared with PC S3 mode. In this mode, with all radios off, my device loses max. 3% battery per day.
In screen-off mode, all the hardware except the screen is running (at full speed) and consuming the battery is a matter of hours.
My question is why would you need the screen-of mode? Unless you're using an application which really needs that, my advice is to use suspend if you don't want to charge your device more than once per day.

Thanks for the reply. I now confirmed that by actual testing too, and u were 100% right.
P.S. I wanna use screen off mainly b/c I wanna use the middle Enter button to turn on or off the phone. like a iphone style. So the best i can do is to map enter key to control backlight. While it can suspend the device, but it cannot wake the device from suspend since for Uni, i guess the middle Enter key and the navigations keys are not considered as "hardware keys" so i cannot map them to reactive the device.
Thats why I wanna know how to map the enter key as power switch as well.
hope someone knows the way, if there is any.
Hi,
I got a GS2 for 2 weeks. I found that the screen will automatically dim down at 10%. It happened even when I activate or deactivate the Power Saving Mode. Is it the ROM bugs? Or anywhere I can set it to no automatically dim down?
thanks
There is Brightness option under Power Saving Mode as a several option.
Regards.

I have already set the brightness to 50% under the Power Saving Mode Page. However, after the phone screen off and on again, it dim to a very low level. I need to go to Power Saving Mode and disable and enable again to bring it to 50% level.
I don't know why screen always dim to low level after screen off/on.
Suppose I unclick the "Use Power Saving Mode" should do nothing when the battery low, right?
same here, but I like that "features"
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I think it's a built-in feature to preserve battery. Happens on my phone too, without having power saving mode activated, when battery is very low. It's been probably made that way in order for your phone to last longer when reaching final percents of battery, considering the screen is the biggest battery drainer.
Hello,
Does anyone know how I can use Tasker to automatically set the performance profile setting to performance mode when something occurs? At the moment I have the CPU governor set so that it changes to performance when an app is opened and power saving when it is off. This however is not enough because even though the CPU governor is set to power saving the performance profile is still on balanced so it's not actually doing much. And yes, if I manually change it to power saving, it is immediately obvious with the difference in performance.
I want to be able to use Tasker to set the performance profile to power saving when the screen is off for example, and then performance for an app or something. Every time I reboot it goes back to balanced and thee seems to be no clear way of setting it automatically. And to be honest, I can't be bothered setting it manually if I'm honest... It needs changing so much it's just not worth changing it manually.
Please note: This IS different to the profiles option on CM11.
Many thanks,
Adam.

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.
There anything in the settings to stop this coming on?
Yeah, you can disable Adaptive battery saving, but why would you?

Finding that notifications may come through with an additional delay when it kicks into power saving...

You're right, but you can solve that by:
-Using the quickpanel toggle to enable optimised
-press it again to enter medium power saving, when asking the configuration untick "disable background data"
-go back in battery, set optimised again, enable adaptive power saving
Every time it goes in medium power saving it will no longer block background data.
