When I turn on power save mode, I notice that it reduces both screen refresh rate, and brightness too.
Is there any way to allow reduced screen refresh rate, but NOT reducing brightness. Is this even possible?
Reason being that the screen is kinda too dim even in wee bit darker than normal light conditions. Right now I am toggling between auto and manual brightness based on where I am.

Refresh rate? How can you tell that it does that?
It says that in the info about the power saving mode.

XDA is somewhat down right now. I've been trying to reply to you, but it keeps hanging. All power saving mode does is lower the CPU clock frequency. The refresh rate is never changed. The frame rate is, however. If you're rooted, you can reduce the CPU clock yourself with a number of apps on the play store.
That's strange. Check the attached screenshot. It says it reduces frame rate.
What I finally ended up doing is install YAAB for brightness control (includes night mode too). This disabled the auto brightness n things worked out well.
Thank you very much for trying to reply. The very thought is appreciated a lot.

I have tried Locale, I am currently using Settings Profile.
Neither app appears to do this, but I would like to be able to add a condition to turn the screen off when I set it flat. Seems simple enough?
Or could I adjust the default screen time out to be 1 second? (Android won't let me set anything lower than 15 seconds)
Basically I want my screen timeout to be never so its always on when I am using the phone and when I set down the phone it turns the screen off..
Screebl, it uses orientation. I've never tried the minimal setting yet. You have to set the oreantaion limits first

Thank you for the recommendation. I tried the "Minimum setting" and it times out after about 6 seconds of laying the phone flat. I would be ideal for it to be 1 second, but this will do
Do you notice any negative battery issues with this running all the time?
Tasker.
Profile
State, sensor, orientation, face up.
Task
Display, system lock.
Just tried it and seems to work pretty well. Times out in under a second.
When you do the system lock it tells you to enable Tasker administrative feature or whatever so make sure you do that when it tells you. Also, I tried at first to just change the timeout based on orientation with Tasker but it said the minimum must be at least 7 seconds. You could probably set another profile to change the timeout to longer when if default options in settings aren't enough since you said you want timeout to be eternity unless face up.
Good luck.

HI Everyone
Is there a possibility to rotate the screen 180 degrees as opposed to 90 or 270?
The reason this is needed is when I charge the phone in the car and I want to start the GPS, I would like to turn the phone upside down and still view the screen upright.
Regards
yep, modify the framework

The best app to enable 180 degree rotation on my Samsung A3 2016 (Marshmallow Android 6.01) I have found is this one (available on the Play Store):
Rotation Control
It is free and works very well to be able to actually rotate the device in all directions. Because the headphone jack and charger is on the bottom of the phone, it is very inconvenient that Samsung blocks the 180 degree rotation completely. With this app you need to apply the following settings (see picture) and enable autostart and the problem is fixed. You can now rotate your device in any direction. You can also lock it in any direction. And it is completely free and does not demand any special permissions.

Hi
I have just purchased a cheap tablet to play a particular game which will only play in portrait mode which is fine but the games screen is 180 degrees out. When I click the all apps button it's OK. So how can I force this one game to rotate 180 degrees. I need it because when playing the on/off and volume controls are on the bottom edge instead of on top.

I am sharing this app because not to gain thanks i want people benefit from this
I also tried One Power Guard after seeing it mentioned on a recent XDA TV episode. For me it seems to slow things down, which was probably a problem with the way I have things set up (I wonder if this was caused by a combination of One Power Guard and my use of Link2SD?). I installed it and the slow-down went away.
This should be posted in the Themes/Apps board. This app looks pretty good, the overlay on the home screen is awesome. Do you use it in conjunction with the built in power saver or do you just use this app?

DS battery is damn much better than this thing. my screen usage is like 3% all the time
I have a weird issue with my nexus. About a week ago I was using it bed time with about 50% battery, put it down and woke up next day and battery was completely depleted. I was watching a flash video so I thought maybe Puffin running flash could cause this so I ignored it. (maybe it continued to run in the background)
Today however, I wrote up to find out my Nexus had turned off again over night without the battery being depleted. It's as if it decided to turn off on its own. I want doing anything fancy with it either. Was just browsing, put it on my desk, wake up next day and it was turned off.
Had anyone else got this issue? Or have an idea what might be wrong,?
It actually happened to me again last night. Is there a log file somewhere I can have a look at that does system crashes or something before I RMA it?

On the shield there is an auto shutdown feature where you can have the tablet shutdown after a given duration of inactivity.
I don't know if there is a similar setting on the Nexus 9 but it may be a possibility.

Dont think the Nexus has such option
My Nexus 9 has done this a few times. Last night I started a movie in bed, couldn't finish it, so I went to bed. I woke up and went to check my tablet and the double tap wouldn't wake it up. I had to hold the power button down for 30 seconds before It booted.
Ok, @ombadboy, could you please show a screen shot of settings/battery/Usage.
This should show a list of apps which are consuming your battery. From the one which most consumes it to the least.
Then just to make sure also post a screenshot of settings/apps/running.
From this we can see which apps have highest running priority, and are using too much RAM.
Hi,
I got this watch used, arrived two days ago. I like it so far. Only tweaks done so far is unlock BL.
I want to preserve the battery life as much as possible though, while keeping it usable. So I think there is efficiency to be made by having the watch face stay as a silhouette instead of "waking up" whenever I look at it. To activate the watch, I have no problem with tapping it once or twice.
Does such a tweak exist? I could not find it in settings (only to turn screen off completely when inactive). Any prerequisites for such a tweak (e.g. root)?
Many thanks.
Are you on 5.1.1 (LCA43)? If yes, you can try disabling wrist gestures in watch settings. Of course, you won't be able to move trough cards as well if you disable it, but it will prevent the screen to leave dim mode when you move your wrist.

I tried that before (am on LCA43), but it seems to just disable the scroll. Just tried again, may have made a difference this time. Though it looks like the screen still activates 1 out of the 5 times I put the watch to my face. We shall see. Thanks!
You're correct, my bad! The setting you want is in the Android Wear app: Tilt to wake screen. You may want to keep wrist gestures on.

Found it! The guide I found had the setting on the main page. I had to tap on the actual device listing to get to the sub page with all the goodies (Google probably did it that way so you can program different actions for different watches).
Thanks again!
By the way, one day later with no charge in between. I am proud of this:
