Can anyone tell me what the Power saving toggle actually does? Not the Ultra Power saving, just the power saving toggle. What all does it do? How much effect does it have on performance? How much improvement to battery life have you see using it?
If you would have gone to the option it would have told you. It blocks background data, but more importantly tones down the Cpu. There's also a option if you want to put it in gray scale mode for further saving.

My weather widget always displays a numeral 1 in a Sun icon next to the time. I have no idea what this is for ? Whatever it means I seem to find no way to make it vanish.
Any ideas ?
I believe the 1 could be for DST, but I could easily be wrong.

Ok how do you get this thing to update your location on its own? Every time I got to do it it manually in my locations. Is there something I'm missing?

Display settings
Forgive me if this was already posted but I was playing around in the task manager and went to default tab and cleared the setting. After you do that go to your notification drop down and select setting and it will ask which settings program you want to use. Choose the one without the folder behind it.

I believe if you go into settings and hit the menu button, you will have the option to switch into list view. Also, there are two "settings" in your app drawer. One is for the tabs, one is for list.

Lol. :silly:
I actually didn't know this could changed at all. Thanks to both of you. I personally prefer the list view.
Well, now that we're doing things the easy way, anyone know how to get the battery usage screen with the graph at the bottom that shows wifi on, awake, screen on, etc? I've only been able to see it when I get the low battery warning, which isn't very often with this phone.

A shorter way to get there is Settings/Power saver/Battery Use.

Hi. I want to not allow anyone from being able to turn off my phone, put it in airplane mode, or change the ringer settings because if someone turns it off, then Cerberus won't be able to track it. My phone is rooted (I know, I'm a badass) so if there is any tweak or any options that I could change, that would be great! Thanks in advance.

Sadly there's no way to prevent anyone from pulling the battery...
They can just pull the battery you're SOL.

Hello I just was wondering I just switched from the noteb2 to the s4 and for some reason it seems the note 2 screen was brighter than the a4 and easier to see in sunny conditions. Is it true? If so can I fix it somehow? I would of thought the newer phone to be brighter.

The s4 is a lot brighter to me what are your display settings? I did the same switch.

Auto adjust screen tone is checked and auto brightness. But even at 50% brightness it seems darker than note 2. Noteb2 I left on auto and in sunny spots could see fine. Hmm

To me the S4's screen gets much brighter than what the Note 2 could do... but more importantly it's a lot CLEARER which counts a lot more for my eyes. If your concern was brightness than you should have bought an HTC One or G2 honestly (anything with an LCD Display).
What are your settings? Do u have power saving mode enabled? Does kernel or ROM make a difference? I just like to use auto

Not sure if rom makes a difference, I've only been on Stock rooted ME7 so far. I use auto with adjust screen on and no power savings. If you want it to seem brighter you should turn off power savings and adjust screen tone... I actually like the warmer tones it adjusts whites to but I can see how some people would not. You shouldn't really need power saving because the battery on this thing is pretty good, but if you want to save battery the right way just root and use Greenify and you'll be set. I can go a day and a half easy with Greenify. I've also heard that the app Lux is really good for saving power, it basically replaces the auto brightness and gives you tons of more options, but I haven't tried it myself.
