Hi, got my galaxy S II a couple of days ago, very satisfied so far!
But I have one question I would like to ask..
when I enable the power savings mode, it says it is active even though the battery percentage is over the threshold I have set..
but I see the settings I have set doesn't get activated until the percentage drops under the threshold..
Is this the same with your handsets?

I think it's only showing notification, but it activates at the threshold you set up.
Still, I would like to have option to turn the notification off.

I think i found a bug. Please confirm if you have the same problem
i use my phone with below settings:
- brightness=auto
- screen time out=30 seconds
- auto adjust screen power=on
- power saving mode on at 30% battery power
Now when my battery is under 30% power saving mode works and decreases my brightness to %10 and screen time out to 15 seconds as i want. no problem so far
But after i charge my phone, my original settings (30 seconds screen timeout and auto brightness does NOT come back. it keeps using the power saving mode settings.
Any of you is having this issue? Please let us know.
I am using 2.3.4 stock and i had this problem on 2.3.3 stock too
yep same here, though I've set it to 10% for emergency cases
thanks for the answer
anyone else?
It's been reported by other users too. Mine does the same, but i stopped using it.
Interesting and I thought it was juice defender doing it. Yes I have too.

Regards.
Same happens to me.

I noticed my wifi dies out when locked and getting bad battery life. I took a three hour nap and if went down 15-20%. I noticed my bfs galaxy notes wifi is constant(using the same wifi) even when his screen is off and he's at 14 hours at 40%.
So i guess my question is what is the norm as far as wifi connectivity goes and why does mine disconnect and his stay on? Defective device?

U can change the settings under wifi settings, press menu and then advanced settings.

Holy crap thank you. I had no idea there was an extra advanced menu. =]

Not really sure why this is kept under advanced settings menu..how i'd do it..
Wifi toggled off, hide wifi sleep policy.
Toggle wifi on, wifi sleep policy shows up underneath. Press on this, notification bubble(similiar to how you pick your ringtones/fonts) pops up with the two or three options..
I never understood the need to hide things in "Advanced Menus", just only show what's pertinent to what the user has enabled.
My battery was draining really quickly before I did this. Now everything is much more as expected.
I am finding that the display timeout changes on it's own from 2 minutes to 15 seconds. What could be causing this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
widgetlocker?
I am using widget locker. I turned on RootHelper, maybe that will keep the lockscreen timeout seperate from the regular timeout.
Also power saver changes it too

I agree with James. I noticed the phone's per saver doing this. It annoyed me so I turned it off and noticed my battery lasted longer.

As I surprisingly found out with my old HTC EVO 3D, there are actually TWO different settings options on the Galaxy Note, which control how long the screen stays on. One setting can be set to 1 minute and the other can simultaneously be set to 30 seconds, without overriding your previous setting. The result is that the lowest setting will always be used. I have no idea why this redundant and counterintuitive feature has been built into Android phones. I am not in front of my phone right now to tell you where to get into your settings to make sure BOTH are set to the same time, but once you do it, your problem should be solved. This was happening to me, too, when I first got my Note. It's no longer happening.
One is (obviously) under Display > Screen time-out.
Found another under Power Saving > Custom power saving settings (after turning on Custom power saving). I could see if you had "Power saving on at" set to its highest setting (50%), then that would override the one under Display very often.
Finished looking around, that's all I see.
Hey Everyone,
Just making sure that this isn't just my phone. When I have the power saver enabled and try to input my pattern lock, if I go too fast, the pattern tends to miss a point and mess up until I restart again.
When the power saver is enabled, I think I read on the options that it limits CPU power meaning slower response, right?
I just keep the power enable setting off. I can enter my pattern fairly quickly, and I still don't run through this phone's battery like crazy, which lasts me all day.
Merry Christmas,

yup....
Yea it slows down the CPU to conserve energy. It says it in the power saver options

i use it all the time.
Hey guys,
is there any way to set up power saving mode to turn on automatically when screen is locked and turn off when unlocked?
Unless a rogue app it's m keeping your phone clocked up ,I don't really see the point, it should go to sleep anyway, all power saving does is drop max to 1.2GHz, din screen and stop vibration, non of which is going to effect your phone when it has screen off/is sleeping
there's no native way, however i found an app this morning you may find useful to your request, its called deepsleep manager. its a whole suite of battery saving options that active every time the screen turns off. didn't play around with it much so can't say really what all it offers. just throwing it out there

also cpu sleeper might be useful
