hello
my brand new samsung galaxy young s6310n arrived this morning and i am very pleased with it's performance but at my surprise i noticed the missing of the power saving mode always found in the samsung phones .
is my unit faulty or this model does not include this mode?
btw , the screen is horrible ,i bought it after my N7000 gave his soul , the colours are washed out completely
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_young_s6310-review-929p4.php - According to this it has a toggle for it even.
the video in the website you provided did not show any power saving icon in the notification area , maybe it s built in or something like that.
in my phone , no such icon exists or submenu for that matter

Interesting. I didn't watch the video but this is from their review:
"The notification area is quite feature-rich and offers quick toggles for Wi-Fi, GPS, Silent mode, Screen rotation, Bluetooth. You can swipe to the side to get even more: Mobile data, Blocking mode, Power saving and Sync."

Sorry, the review looked legit. I just searched through the Manual for the phone as well with Google Translate and couldn't find anything about it either.
Guess you'd need to use a 3rd party app then. Something along these lines: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dianxinos.dxbs

I know there's supposed to be an option under applications -> development for this but the menu option isn't there.
So how do I make the screen stay on during charge on the I9100?
i do it with an application called 'Extended control' others application of the same type have also the setting.

i'm wondering the same thing as my SGS2 seems to be missing the following option :
Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake
is the application that you are referring to "Extended Controls" and it's a paid app ?
thanks !
Just so you know, I the screen on the galaxy S ii we get burnt pixel marks fairly easily with the super amoled + display, and so leaving the screen on displaying the same image might not be a good idea. A live wallpaper might help.
Umm well mine stays on when I plug it into the mains or the USB with no extra apps?? Might be one of the apps I have installed I suppose but I haven't downloaded anything specific. I have rooted and upgraded my firmware to KE7 though.

same here - rooted and on KE7 ...
i'm not sure how you manage to keep your screen on - mine switches off after the usual delay even when docked on my desk ...
My screen also switches off while plugged in by usb. Worse still, i found that while using Kies Air, once the screen goes off Kies no longer can communicate with the phone!
Solution was to install JuiceDefender. A great little app, you can tell it to keep connecting for certain Apps even when the screen is off. So all you need to do is add Kies Air. Now it works!
thanks for the update. inspired by your post i had another search and found a similar app called Screen On which has the same functionality including the ability to keep the screen on when the phone is being charged ...
thanks !
Hello, my name is Dan, i am new in this forum and i hope i will not broke any rule.
i am a new owner of galaxy s3 I9300, and i noticed a strange bug with my phone\android system.
my power saving mode have 4 options: "cpu limit", "fps limit for the screen", "color limit for mail and internet", "disable vibration".
i wont to use only 2 of them the "cpu limit" and "color limit for mail and internet", because the fps limit is pretty noticeable and i love to see my screen moving smooth.
soo let's get to the problem: when i turn on the power saving mode, everything is ok, the cpu limit working, i can see it in cpu+temp v2, and the screen option working too, and ever tying move smooth because i disabled the fps limit in power saving mode.
but when i press the the close button on the right side of the phone and re enter to the home screen, the screen move like the fps limit option is on (but it's not) i need to turn off and turn on again the battery save mode to disable again the fps limit option.
important to say that if you go to battery save mode options the fps limit is always turned off.
it's really annoying me, because every time you come back to home screen from black screen(turning off the screen with the button on the right side) you need to turn off and turn on the power save mode.
if some one can help me it will be grate.
information about my phone:
stock international version
no root
*#1234# - ap:i9300xxblh3
cp:i9300xxlh1
csc:i9300xefblh2
didn't install any power saving programs, or something that will effect the system, only games and casual apps

Can't replicate the issue on mine.. maybe the firmware you are using has it, have you tried flashing another one?

i didn't try.
Did you turn on power save mode(with fps reduce turned off, it's the second option), then pressed the power button, and the home screen was not slow? the fps looks normal when i swipe between icons?
if you try too see the animation difference between the two state, then turn off the fps limit in power saving mode, and make the test again, and say if you had the problem.
you suggest me to flash new rom or go to the shop i bought the phone and make them fix it ?
p.s. if i record a video of the problem it will help understand me batter?
I am noticing some problems with my s3 after the official jellybean update. It feels like it has been rushed to the phone. For example it doesn't have the quick reply feature in the notification window. It does for missed calls but not for messages. This is one the most anticipated features for me. Also when watching you tube and you don't want the screen to rotate it now does. I want to lock the rotation so I only get the small video at the top when my phone is on its side. It worked before jellybean update. Also auto brightness has changed. When auto brightness is selected you can manually turn it up with the slider in the notification window and it disables auto brightness and changes to what you set on the slider. Now on jellybean you have to uncheck the auto brightness box and then slide. Little features like this are starting to make me feel like it has been a massive rush to get jellybean on to the s3 which is ironic seen as though it took long enough. I have the international i9300 model s3. Is anybody else noticing the problems I have stated? Does anybody know a way of changing/getting the features? Thanks.
They were definitely to busy with the Note II, I mean come on at least give their flag ship the same/some of the features that a bigger version of the S3 has... That sexy multitasking should have been on the initial jelly bean update.
94% to 77 % in 7 hours.
WIFI : On , PSM off
Most power and wakelocks were by Kernal.
Normal?
I'm on LJ4, stock kernel?
I've not got a clue what you're on about?

I know what you mean. The note got great features like the multi window. Apparently that's coming before the new year but I highly doubt that. Are you noticing the same problems I am? Another problem I found is when screen goes off after inactivity you used to be able to press the home button a moment after it goes off and it would turn the screen back on leaving you at the page you was. Now the home button takes you back to the home when you press it. It's annoying you have to go back to the app.

Me too, my problem is the battery with jb lj4
I think there is a few little niggles but overal its pretty much the same.
The autobrightness don't disable automatically now when you adjust the slider as you can now actually adjust the autobrightness brightness, Not sure why though.
Google Now - leaving it active at the mo, but not really found any usefullness from it as yet. The Time home feature is ok, would be good if it actually showed the route I take home - Via motorway, rather than the route through city center which i don't take!!
The new notifcation bar - its ok, nothing major. Expect a bit of all these features will improve over time as well once apps get proper updates. Some work but don't have full functionally - Songpop has no notifications now for example.
Battery Life - I did find that my normal phone use on ISC which included about 50/60 mins worth of calls etc wi-fi left on all the time but only actually connected to wi-fi at home (just 2G & 3G at work) i would have about 55/60% battery life left by the time i got home from work, on Jelly Bean - with the same useage i had about 40/45% left. I am now back to the same as before on ISC, but i didn't disable google now or anything just turned Wi-Fi off when left home and turn it back on when home - results was 55/60% battery remaining a as on ISC. Seems that the Wi-Fi drains when not connected - either it keeps on searching which it might not of done on ISC or its the Google Now doing something (Does say improve location by keeping wifi on - does this even if not connected!!) - Least this way i can still use google now and see how it improves its tags overtime.
I am now using a App called WiFi Timer to automatically switch Wifi on and off when i leave/get home.
Love that it now has voice downloaded so you can text etc with no data connection - find its more accurate now as well!
Never had the small vids on Youtube when rotated phone so not sure about that. Take it disabling autorotate doesn't do this?
Good and Bad
My experience is as follows:
Good:
Sheer speed, no perceivable lag.
A problem I had with only half the SMS notification tone being played (before it cut off) has gone away.
Bad:
Battery drain terrible even when idle. Turning off Google Now, Location Services and Samsung Push Notification fixed this.
When I activate Smart Stay, the screen does not want to turn off 80% of the time - even when I'm not looking at it.
When I wake the phone using the home key, it exits the app I was in. Previously, this would wake the device and return you to the current app (after unlocking). I have a partial work around using the PreHome app; this way the app is still visible underneath the PreHome dialogue box and I just need to press Back to get to my app again.
Widgets, seem to refresh less regularly, particularly Messaging and Gmail widgets which seem to hardly even refresh when I want them too.
Of No Consequence:
The red charging led is a little dimmer when charging.
Overall:
The speed benefits outweigh the niggles - just!

No need for an App. You can do it inbuilt.
Go to Wifi, Menu button and Advanced

Yep i know, but this app is far better as it lets you setup different profiles for mornings, evenings & weekends etc which the inbuilt one don't. :good:
root?
i may just root my phone as i really am not happy with this jellybean update, nothing has really improved for me, if i root it and install a rom like codename all the features like quick reply would be there right?
Hey Guys, happy new Year to everyone !
Maybe i found a soulution for people like me, where facing Red/Pink Issues on there Note 8. Specially for people, that want to use Amoled-Kino Screen mode.
For me, the Issue looks like, when i activate Amoled Kino- My Screen Colors get low down, like when you put out 50 % saturation and contrast plus a Red Tint. Anyway, Samsung offers a Software Fix with Adaptive Mode for Display and you can regulate with 3 Sliders to correct your Color. But how ever i set the Values, the Colors in Adaptive Mode are very cold and its sad when i lay down my Note beside my old S7 Edge. Special with activated Kino Mode.
So i searched a few Days in the Web and found a App called : ''ColorModeChancer''. This simple App does nothing else, then to Set the Values for Red/Green/Blue and Contrast/Saturation manual. When i understand the Dev right, it talks to the Kernel and maybe the Screen Configuration for Colors/Saturation and Contrast is load from Kernel and not for Example from another File or Script from System itself. But im no Dev and maybe i talk Bull**** how it exactly works Ask the Dev by yourself or Read Playstore Description. Maybe you understand it better then me. I just wann guide you all to maybe solve the Red Tint Problem.
Steps to install:
You need to be Rooted.
''To avoid using one App for "setting last saved value without open any window" and another one for "open Settings window" I choosed this App behavior:
1) run the App
2) first run ONLY sets last saved value
3) next launches within 30 seconds will open the Settings
4) subsequent launches within 30 seconds will do #3
5) if 30 seconds are passed, the next launch will do #2'' > Description copied from Playstore
6) (From me): Set Cinema Mode in the App and everything is good, you have now a correct configuratet screen with Amoled Kino Mode how it should work
Bugs :
Maybe you get a little Bit of Lag when you scroll down in Apps like Facebook or Instagram. For me, i solved it with cache cleaning for these Apps. Anyway it works like Charm for me.
The App costs around 50 Cent, was orignal made for non Samsung Stock Roms like Linage, Cyanogen etc. where dont have the Option in Settings, to set the Samsung Screen Modes like Amoled Kino.
I dont Link the Playstore Link here, because the App costs Money and i dont want to make advertising for the Dev or anyone else. Just want to share this Guide/Workaround for interested people with the same issues as me. One more Time, the App calls ''ColorModeChanger'' and it is aviable on the Playstore.
Further i Emaild with Samsung and they swear that the Screen Problem is a Software issue and not a Hardware Problem from the Screen itself. After that, i found this App and now i believe that Samsung tlaks the tings right, before i dondt believe that it is only Software Problem. Anyway, it works for me and the result is AMAZING
Have Fun & Good Luck ! :fingers-crossed:
I guess will be nice if we discuss how to achieve some kind of notification on our displays without draining the battery. Smartwatch is good way to deal with it, but let's keep to the phone itself. Most wanted feature is to have recurrent notifications. I invested some time in trying some apps and these are my "5 cents":
- Always On Edge- this is the program I prefer to use so far and will explain why. It lights up the edges and could be set to be recurrent. With many settings about almost everything. Just don't forget to save the settings after changing things. It works most of the time, but it's a bit tricky- don't let the system to control it (to stop it)- you can do it from battery management. And from my experience- use the power button to turn off the screen (or just leave it to turn off). Using some additional programs (like JButton and Fluid gestures) activate more secure mode (could be wrong) and prevent the notification blinking. The good is that it's relatively battery friendly.
- LED Blinker Notifications - always working, nice customization. Shows colored circles on the screen in Awlays On Display manner. Can set different color for different app and random position (to avoid burn-in). The bad- spends a lots of power and the battery is going down fast. And is way pricier. I bought it anyway to test it, but probably will stay unused.
- Glimpse Notifications- works (almost) always. The problem is that will either light up your screen (drains battery, because wakes up the CPU) or makes a vibration or a sound. This could be annoying for everyone.
- integrated Always On Screen feature in our phones- works fine, shows icons with the notifications. Nice solution, but spends about 1% battery per hour (on my phone). This is the whole consumption of the phone of course, but I think that this is 1.5-2 times more than regular consumption. It's good solution anyway.
I use the following combination:
- Always On Display with clock + notification icons
- Always On Edge (rainbow crashes around the edges + clock + notifications)
- phone is in DND
- Xiaomi Mi Band 3 vibrates

What is the purpose of DND? Avoiding sounds and turning on the screen?
P.S. In my previous opinion I meant AOD- Always On Display (not Screen ). Sorry for the mistake.

I don't want to hear anything from the phone. Just want to be notified in a visual (AOD + AOE) and haptic (Mi Band 3) way.
I assume screen or display is both fine
Hi
I'm also looking for a solution since I miss the LED so much. I'm currently with Always On Edge, but I'm not happy with it. It drains the battery quite a lot, even when I don't get a lot of notifications.
I had days where the stats do report 90 min cpu including 50 min in background. It's quite unrealistic that it had to blink that long during the whole day.
If somebody has a better alternative (also playing together with the fingerprint unlock), please let me know.
Better to check the mAh that are consumed, than the CPU and the screen time. It's located in Power Consumption Details -> Software and is not so bad. But probably depends on how much time you spend away from your phone. You can use AOD and put the phone with screen down, it will turn off screen until you flip it and see if notifications are available.

Hi there!
Is there a way to change how the vibration works? Sorry for the noob question.. cheers!
@kimirai1027 for some Apps e.g. WhatsApp you can specify vibration intensity:
Settings -> Notifications -> WhatsApp -> More Settings -> Vibration: Off/ Standard/ Short/ Long
@doemEINS Thank you buddy.. cheers!
I had tried to use ALWAYS ON EDGE (among a few other apps) but no matter what settings I tried, etc. I could not get it to work. That being said, I found another app on the Play Store called ALWAYS ON AMOLED and it works like a CHAMP.
It is super customizable and seems to be very similar to ALWAYS ON EDGE so if you are looking for something like this to use as a visual for notifications then I recommend this app. Just search for ALWAYS ON AMOLED on the Play Store...
damn huawei, in the p30 pro are a lot of missing features.
don´t look on samsung, you might get wet eyes, however they want the same price, lol.
oh yes, the laica optics are good, but still, the software is a piece of ..... ( I am not sure, can I say this here?) you know what I mean.

You are absolutely right! Nothing to add from my part, it is exactly what I lack in my P30 Pro: the software is horrible.
On the other hand, guys what is wrong with just using the AOD? It doesnt drain the battery like the Samsung one...so...? I use that and I am ok with it.

notifybuddy not working on my p30 pro with android 9. install, allow access, choose apps for notification ... nothing happens when new notifications are there. maybe we can do something with tasker? turn AOD on when notification?
I find it unbelievable in this day and age when manufacturers decide to remove a functional Led yet don't replace it with anything half decent for notifications.
You know when you plug in your charger, those green bubbles appear? A notification like that would have been nice.

That's the one thing I miss from my S10+, using good lock to have the notification light around the hole punch, most third party applications from the play store need ridiculous permissions or use a stupid amount of battery

Great thread guys..
Can someone please share thier AOE settings/configurations if it's working fully for them.
Its not working at all for me, and I'm usually a person who enjoys playing with settings until I get a satisfying result.
Would really appreciate it.
