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

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.
So I have set my power saving mode to come on at 30% and for it to disable everything except wifi. The problem is that after I charge my phone back up, those settings remain disabled even though power saving mode is turned off, so I have to manually enable them each time. Is there a way around this?

What ROM and kernel is on your phone?
If you enable user specified power saving with your customized settings (30% battery => shut down everything accept wifi), and you did not disable this power saving mode, when exactly is the power saving mode disabled?
As soon as you plug in the power cable?
And is it not re-enabled automatically, after pulling the power cable out?
Sorry, but I did not exactly understand your issue.
"those settings remain disabled even though power saving mode is turned off" => Yes, that's correct. If the power saving mode is turned off, all power saving settings should be disabled.
This sounds to me like "normal" behavior.
Maybe I misunderstood something in your description.

I'm on stock 2.3.3 and KG2
And I meant that these settings do not revert themselves after I finish charging the battery. For example, at less than 30%, my power saving mode turns off syncing. But once I finish charging my phone back to 100%, the syncing is remained off, so essentially, my power saving mode never really turns itself off even after charging.
I noticed the same thing - it's very annoying to set my screen timeout to 2 minutes, and when power-save mode comes on, it gets reset to 30 seconds and stays there.
I ended up turning off almost all of the power-saving features, and setting the threshold to 5%. I'm running the stock rooted kernel with NoCIQ, so I already have a pretty substantial battery life (~24-30 hrs with normal usage and wifi at home).

Have a look at MyProfiles app from the Market.
Maybe it can help you to switch between different profiles based on system triggers.
Or use AutomateIt app to define rules when to toggle wifi, bt, gps, etc.
Just worth a try...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I kinda want to get to the root of the problem here as opposed to installing an app to mask it. Does anyone else know what's wrong with my phone?
There's nothing wrong, that's just the way it works, it change your setting when activates but doesn't change them back.
I no longer use it, since I have GPS/wifi/BT disabled unless I use them anyway.
hi,
I'm using android 2.3.6
The "System Power saving" feature seems to be turning off my Auto-Sync - i cant get push emails on my gmail. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hence im talking about System power saving and not User Power saving mode
What's wrong with that? Auto Sync uses a lot of battery as it constantly draws new data from the server every few minutes, and System Power Saving is aggressive power saving, so expect most things to be turned off, so it maximizes battery life.
because I looked at the settings for User Power saving mode. it had the feature that disables the auto-sync process.
Thats why I didn't think using System Power saving mode will also disable the auto-sync. that would be kind of like double-handling. I guess im wrong
Hey there. If you want proper and customizable power saving get SiyahKernel, voltage control to tone down max frequency and 2nd core to manage active cores. The stock power saving feature is horrid.

What does the save power switch do in the quick settings menu?
I tried turning it in but didn't notice a difference.
I'm still using cleanrom 4.0 with the leaked firmware
It basically has default settings to turn off stuff that you probably already have turned off... wifi, GPS, screen to 40%, 4G, etc.. You can go into the power save settings and adjust stuff that you want to happen during the mode, but I already leave that stuff off to begin with.
Mine is still using 4g and GPS is enabled. Also didn't notice any difference with my screen brightness.
I already have wifi disabled.
maybe its not working with my setup

It adjust the sleep policy to shut off everything but data while it sleeps and makes it sleep faster. At least on BAMF it does sure it's the same on clean Rom. Also makes it sleep sooner like 15 mins instead of 30 or something like that

I noticed that the newest leak doesn't have the power saver menu in the power settings. I think that was removed this go-around. The quick setting doesn't seem to do anything anymore... pretty sure it's just a holdover from previous tweak menus.
There used to be an icon that would show up in the status bar when you turned it on... kind of a bummer, I thought the feature was great, I used it all the time when I was going to be out for the night. It really helped to slow down drain (and the responsiveness of the phone).
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
