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.

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,
SlyG07
yup....
Yea it slows down the CPU to conserve energy. It says it in the power saver options

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
Hey Guys,
I am trying to get as much battery life out of my S9+ Exynos (SM-G965f) as I can so I like to keep it in power saving mode. The only issue with this is using my phone for GPS navigation. While using google maps I like to just listen to the voice commands and keep the screen off to save a little battery. In power saving mode with the screen off it will kill the GPS location. The current fix for this is turning off the battery saving feature and then it will keep tracking the GPS location with the screen off. Problem being when turning on/off the battery saving feature it has an animation and goes through each of the setting when doing so.
Is there a way to edit the power saving settings so that Google Maps can still use the GPC location with screen off in power saving mode?
Also on a side note, my phones location keeps changing out from battery saving mode. How can I tell which app is changing the location type?
