So I noticed when I went to go use one of my apps that uses GPS the other day it said the phone had to come out of power saving mode to turn on the GPS, so I did that. Now I can't seem to find where to enable and disable Power Saving. I am not talking about the Extreme Power Saving feature that we don't have yet, just the normal power saving feature.
Can we toggle it without being rooted?

What you saw was not the same power saving mode. It is a power saving feature built into our phones for GPS. Go to Google Settings, Location, and where it says Mode, that is where the change is. I currently have mine at battery saving unless I need step by step directions.
Did you have the power save tweak and then took the OTA? If so, it's still running but you can't access it until you do the tweak again.
Had the same thing.

I have noticed that turning off the screen (either via an app or by a brief press of the power button) also kills any Wifi connections that are active. Is there any way around this? Thanks.
Pressing the power button put the device to sleep/standby/suspend mode. Its not just Wifi, even the Bluetooth, GPS and everything but the phone part goes 'off' to save power. But why do you need WiFi to be active when in StandBy mode?
Regards,
Carty..
are you sure that you are toggling the screen and not turning off the device compleatly?
all pda's i've had turn off when i press the powerbutton
but there are programs which toggle the screen and dont stop my
music from playing

Because I have VoIP set up and if the phone goes in to standby, it will still accept incoming normal calls, but not VoIP calls.

It's not powering the device off completely, a longer push of the power button is needed for that.
But, I had a setting in "Power" enabled, which would "Turn off the device" if it wasn't used for a period of time, and this was also killing Wifi when it was triggered.
Audio manager for ppc has resolved this problem. As far as i know its the only one that doesn't stop even if you press the power button. it keeps playing in background. Maybe someone can understand how they did it and post it. I also want my wifi no to be turned off when i press the power button since it doesn't reconnect to my access point. i have to do it manually
Regards
theres a way to turn off the screen, alot of the roms here have it in the shortcut folder.... and it doesnt kill stop anything like wifi bluetooth or WMP....
Since you know it why don't you mention it

I myself won't be leaving Wifi turned on now. I did some tests re battery life and found battery drain was just too severe if Wifi was left on permanently.

I tried this, and in the ROM i'm using it did kill Wifi as well. Oh well
yeah i feel you . the thing is, sometimes i download some mp3's over my WIZARD , and even if i don't the putton of the powering off, after a mintue ( depending on my power setting ) the device is switched off and WIFI is killed !
is there any cab to keep WIFI alive even tho the power button is get pressed ?
I've noticed that every time the phone enters power safe mode, there is a problem after that.
Next morning after the phone is charged, ALL settings regarding power safe mode are still in effect (wireless is disabled, brightness is at the lowest, etc)
In my opinion, once the phone is fully charged , those power safe settings should be reverted to their original state, BEFORE they were activated.
Because they do NOT revert, and you have to manually put them back the way you want (and how they were before power safe is activated) is a poor design.
Is there a solution to this problem, so they automatically revert once power safe is deactivated?
Has anyone else notice that their M8 is noticeably less responsive when the battery gets low (usually under 15%)? I am aware that the Verizon model does not have the extreme power saving mode feature; however, I noticed something funny. When the battery is low and I go into developer options to turn on high performance mode, it lets me know that I cannot due to power saver being on (see screenshot). When the phone's battery is not low, I do not see this message and I can enable high performance mode. My guess is that the phone is entering some sort of power saving mode automatically when the battery gets low because I notice that it lasts quite long on low battery and is less snappy.
Fast start to finish here. But I'm running custom so.

Can anyone else on stock replicate this issue or did I just get a defective M8? Thanks!

It honestly sounds like power saving mode is kicking in. Which does at 15% on stock if power saving mode is enabled ( not extreme power saving mode just the standard one)
If something weird is going on and it is not providing you with a notification that it is what's happening, next time it happens look at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_max_freq if it's at 2265600 then it's not in power saving mode, however if it's at 1190400 then power saver is on. Other signs of power saving mode would "normally" be
Display brightness reduced
Cpu reduced speeds
Vibration feedback turned off
*data connection put to sleep when screen off
Edit:
Turned my power saving mode on and I also can not turn on high performance mode. So I bet that is EXACTLY what's going on.
last edit,
if you have root you can launch the power saving settings ( even tho the option is not there under the power sub menu vzw left all the code in)
to do this from terminal emulator at # am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.htc.htcpowermanager/com.htc.htcpowermanager.powersaver.PowerSaverActivity
this will launch the settings for power saving mode, and from here you can see if it is set to on, if so just turn it back off.

Thanks for the reply, I agree with you on that one, I'm pretty sure power saving mode is being turned on somehow. I'm not rooted and on stock, so I don't have a toggle for power saver mode. Any idea how it could have turned itself on? Aside from rooting, is there anything short of a factory reset that I can do to get rid of it?

Well I would first ask if any of the things I said happen when you phone goes below 15% such as
Display brightness reduced
Cpu reduced speeds
Vibration feedback turned off
*data connection put to sleep when screen off
Some of these you can check without root. Like the screen gets dim or the vibration turns off. If so then let me know.
Theoretically a factory reset would clear it. However you could try to clear data from the settings app.

+1 on Power Save coming on.....I am on Viper so I see it is turned on at 15% with the quick settings, so I tap it to turn it off (which I know there isn't a stock equivalent)....but when it is on...the phone slows like a turd.
I have Galaxy S2 Classic (SM-R732) with software version R732XXU2CPC5. Is there a way to automatically enable Power Saving Mode when battery power gets below a certain percentage like I can with my S6? I have noticed a prompt to enable power saving when the battery gets to 15%, but if miss the prompt and I don't hit the checkmark, it stays on normal power and dies.
Also, do Samsung reps monitor this forum? If there is no way to do it automatically, can this feature be added in a future update?
There is no way, but you can always do it manually through holding the home button and then scrolling through the menu
my note 20 ultra goes into power saving mode from time to time.... and i don't know why?
how do i stop it.....i don't want it to go into power saving mode ever...
