Is there a way to have Power saving mode automatically turn on when battery level reaches a certain %?
Or, have a shortcut created on notification tray instead of the Ultra Battery mode?
Guess there is no way?
Automatically I don't think so. Maybe if you're rooted and using something like Tasker or Trigger.

Add Widget - Settings Shortcut - Battery Saver - Open Widget and Set - Delete Widget.
Available Settings: Never; 5%; 15%.
They seem to have forgotten to put this in settings. Couldn't find it anywhere else.

Superb find!
Yeah, was using the z launcher from Nokia. So there were no setting shortcuts.
Found it in default launcher.
Thanks
This seems to be separate from the battery saving in Phone Manager. When it auto activates, the one in Phone Manager is still not activated.
No way to turn this off without the widget either once the battery is below the set %
Sorry but with stock launcher I don't find that widget. I am a bit confused

Hi, I've enable battery saver with widget shotrcutut but apparently when battery reaches 15 precent saver doesn't start.
Any clue how it works on the P10? Because Battery Saver is not an option within the widget.
Yes unfortunately this widget is not present on the P10
Even with the latestest B162 firmware.... I am also looking for such a way to enable battery Saver
In the quick shortcut menu, there is one but for the Ultra Economy mode which is so pointless.....
There definitely is some sort of automatic power saver as when I bought my p10 it used to automatically turn on power saver when the battery dropped below 50%. The main bar at the top would turn orange to indicate that power saver mode was on. At the time it drove me crazy and I spent ages trying to figure out how to turn it off. Now I can't remember how I did it or how to turn that function back on. It was on Android 7.0 though and now I'm on 8.0a so perhaps it was a Google OS setting somewhere....
I installed QuickShortcutMaker (it's all one word, I think) and then went to add a shortcut.
On my Mate 10 Pro I searched for saver, and it offered the screen where auto battery saving would kick in at 15%, or 5% or never.
Battery's not low enough yet to test if it actually works, though.
That app is really good for revealing hard to find settings.

I had to stop using Locale because it was using 92% of my battery....tried to use Auto Settings (love the idea of it) but that was using 85% of it....is there any out there that will not drain my battery?
BTW when I say Orientation I mean face down will be vibrate and face up normal or something like that.
Thanks guys
Use a toggle widget? They take half a second to switch from vibrate to normal.

That's not a bad idea. I suppose any app that will have to use the Acc. will cause a serious battery drain. That's unfortunate because Auto Settings is very useful.
I think that settings profile advertised that it has a widget that goes along with it?

If you are going by battery statistics from system settings menu under "about phone", then those percents are not necessarily accurate. You need to look at the actual usage of those apps from something like System Monitor. The problem with the built in battery stats is that while it reports a high percent, the app actually only pings usage very minimally for a short burst. It uses little to none overhead, yet the battery screen reports it as constantly running.
I had this issue with Screebl, but System Monitor show that it uses very little of anything.

Hi,
In my little experience, there is no software that makes alot of diference, normaly what i do is:
disable motion
insert *#9900# and disable Fast dormacy - check is your network needs this
disable sync for accounts
disable GPS
disable wifi gps
disable wifi when not using
set brightness level to auto
set wifi sleep policy to when pluged in
Of course there are a couple more things you could do, and again this is what i do cant say it will work as good for you.
rooting.
Tasker
With it one can automate almost everything on the phone.
It's almost like programming i use it all the time and there are a lot of examples on this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110775
Juice Defender Ultimate + Battery Saver Pro (by Antutu).
I tryed a few battery saver apps but no longer use them as i found if i turn auto sync off, change wifi sleep policy to never, untick network notification, and use task manger frequently to kill unused apps my battery lasts a lot longer. I also use easy task killer and set it to kill all apps every 30 mins. im using king cobra v1.1 for evo 3d gsm and the battery life is amazing!! just swapping battery's over now and its nearly 9pm!!
If any one needs any help rooting or unrooting the evo 3d gsm hboot 1.4.9.0018 let me know as i have done it a few times now. I unrooted my phone back to ***locked*** s-on with no traces of rooting, then checked for ota updates, wouldnt of installed them tho even if there was one!! then downgraded back too 1.4.9.0007 and rooted it again with revolutionary.

forgot to mention auto brightness is a must. and i also calibrate battery after installing roms . can anyone please tell me if calibrating the battery every time it gets to 100% is good or bad? thanks.
When you use an xperia mini pro like me, with just 970 mAh, you get to try all possible battery savers... and unfortunetly no one of them makes the exception... actually as said evilchild, they don't make difference...
just disable everything that may drain your battery, your launcher effects too can be in cause, get rid of unuseful apps, put your brightness to lowest levels or just get it to auto if your rom use it... choose the best profile for your CPU... and with this you are good for 10 new hours in your daily battery life.
I'm not sure a 'battery-saving' app is real.
They just disable some features that we can manually do that. They just make it automatically disabled.
But, 2x Battery is good. It could disable Wifi or mobile data while the display is off.
one touch battery saver is awesome. create a widget to enable/disable wifi,gps,sync,brightness,bt,data ect with one touch!. free on google play

Yeah. There's a thread somewhere which gives real battery saving tips
I tried some apps, but I didn't found one which really improved the battery.
In my opinion the best method is to reduce the brightness.

From the apps I tried out and used, almost all of them just disabled certain things, or tweaked settings that I could have done on my own, and eventually did do.
I found it easier to just go on a sub forum for the phone I had at the time and look up tweaks, tips etc.. I'd say doing this helped me more than any app I found previously, and was easy to do.
Dolphin companion is good and gives more remaining of time.
I use juice defender and the setting: "Only 2G"
3G takes a lot of battery..

None. There are no working saving battery apps, not a single one.
What a battery saving application can do is to change the phone configuration to a lower energy one, just like lowing brightness, disabling data packages and such, to sum up, things you can do by yourself and you'll save the battery that that application consumes.
The best way to save battery is to make a proper use of your phone:
-Disable gps when you don't need it.
-Turn off bluetooth when not needed.
-Keep screen brightness low at all time.
-Disable data packages before going to sleep and enable them again when you wake up.
-Keep your phone clean by periodically uninstalling apps that you don't use anymore and that make unnecesary use of memory, cpu and battery energy.
-Check your battery use statistics and keep an eye on applications that are using energy unefficiently, and replace them with better alternatives. Facebook and facebook messenger are clear examples.
-Some people say that connecting to 2G networks instead of 3G helps as well.
-Activate wifi at home, it seems to eat less battery than connected to 3G.
There are more tips out there, just gogle it and make a responsible use of your phone. Keeping phone clean and lowing brightness will probably make the biggest difference.
Moreover, if android S.O. is on the top of the list of battery use, your phone's software entered a weird condition. Reboot it and if it persist, consider a factory reset.
I hope this helps
I just started evaluating Juice Defender Ultimate to see if it can save battery life, but there are many options that I don't fully understand. I have attached a screenshot of the Notificatin pulldown window from my Galaxy Nexus which shows the JD status. There are 9 objects just to the right of the JD shield. They include 3 icons, 3 colored circles and 3 lines of text. Can anyone explain what each of them mean? I have checked the JD online info, without luck.
My best guess is:
the up/down icon represents mobile data
the red circle next to the up/down icon means mobile data is disabled
the radiation icon represents WiFi
the green circle next to the radiation icon means WiFi is enabled
the 3G icon represents 3g mode
the red circle next to the 3g icon means 3g is disabled and 2g is enabled
As mentioned, these are just my best guesses. I have no idea what the 3 lines of text mean?

Hi, I'm worried about my bad battery life. Any ideas what it causes or how to improve?
I'm on latest Carbon Rom (Android 4.4.2), Now activated, Hotword detection off.
Logs and Screenshots: see attachment
I don't get it. You have 1 day 9 hour usage and 1 hour 42 screen time. Your screen time is low but your usage is quite a while, better than mine. Could be bad signal, you have 1 bar in all the screenshots posted. Try turning off sync or mobile data when not in use.
It's a combination of poor signal and gps settings.
Switch location mode to Device only and get us an overnight BBS log.
System UI is unusually high. I can only assume this is customized UI elements draining the battery. Google services are 2nd on your list so locations and auto syncs, among other things.
When you're getting normal battery life Screen should be at the top. Anything draining more than Screen you need to look into.

Hi,
I see systemui is at the top of the list in all your screens. Are you using "pocket mode" or lockscreen notifications? I had the same issue on Mahdi rom and it went away when i disabled "pocket mode"
Are you running a custom kernel?
Some general battery saving tips are :
-Lower your brightness (i have mine set at 20%)
-Download "Wakelock Detector" and "Greenify" from playstore. These 2 apps will solve any wakelock problems.
-Turn Google Location Reporting and Location History off.
Sometimes a simple reboot does wonder for your phone.
Everybody has their own best combo of ROM + kernel so it will be up to you to find what works for you.
I'm currently running Mahdi's ROM + Elementalx and get 4 hours of screen time, 4 hours of music playback (from SD card) and 20+ hours of standby time

Hi, yes I'm using pocket mode. Too bad that it's drains this much battery! I love this feature
to me it looks as you having terrible wifi. and since you left the wifi on, your terrible signal drained the battery.

Try turning off the feature for a day and see if it improves your battery life any.
I'm also a big fan of the pocket mode feature and s2w/dt2w features because i hate reaching for the power button but it killed my battery.
What i can suggest to you is to try an app called Gravity Screen by one of our very own xda developer. Somehow, he managed to get the turn screen on/off via proximity sensor to barely drain any battery. I use this app combined with Dynamic Notifications and every time i take my phone out of my pocket, i get notifications like the Moto X and screen on without power button.
Best of luck!
flash back to stock & change tamper flag, and get an exchange. I found out that the earlier models have some with batt and radio problems

I'll give it a try! Thank you very much for your detailed help!
Well, I thought that I know how it works, but after reaching 20% I have got that fancy message under the main widget that I need to enable Battery Saver option, when I have enabled it right the way during phone setup.
My questions are:
- what exactly is done after switching Battery Saver to "ON"? I don't see any additional options for ON statement
- when is OFF and battery will reach 20% does it will trigger manual battery saving options?
Thanks
After you turn it in, just touch right next to the switch that says "battery saver". That will open up the options that you can select.
If you have the battery saving option turned off...well the it won't do anything for your battery

When I have turned off I'm able to choose what can be turned off when battery will reach 20%. When is ON I'm not able. For me it looks like:
- Battery Saver ON - it makes automatic decisions by the system what must be reduced when reached 20%
- Battery Saver OFF - it will use your set rules what must be turned off when reached 20%
or I have a bug in my system which allows to choose options when Battery Saver is set to OFF statement

I see what your saying. Just looked at mine. Yeah it does let you select and make changes when its set to OFF but don't think anything would kick in unless you have it set to on. You can also change the percentage that the battery saver will kick on at if you didn't want it on at 20%.
Can test it out if you wanted. Just see what percentage your battery is on and change the saver to kick on at a percent your almost at. Then see if it goes on. If it does then turn saver off and see if the notification goes away. Not sure if I wrote that in a way that's understandable lol.

So I have done few tests and it comes that if the function is ON then it executes set rules. No clue why rules can be set when the function is OFF.
Also I have no clue what I have triggered there but now I have 57% batter with usage of 42 hours and estimated remaining 113h

This may or may not be helpful but nova launcher users can create a shortcut on the home screen > activities > settings > battery saver - which will take you directly to the battery saver menu. Not ideal but may save a couple of clicks.
That's what I use now, but I still fancy direct switch.

From Android Police: "When you activate this mode, the screen brightness is reduced, animations are turned off, background data is (mostly) disabled, and vibration is off. "
From Android Central: "To help improve battery life, battery saver reduces your device's performance and limits vibration and most background data. Email, messaging and other apps that rely on syncing may not update unless you open them."
I found the best way of doing this with a combination of Zooper pro, Tasker, AutoInput and AutoShortcut. Works pretty well the only problem is it cant trigger on screen off. AutoInput needs to have the screen on to run but still i made a widget with Zooper and with a simple tap on the battery icon on it the phone goes into battery saving mode, goes home, locks the device which in turn triggers greenify to run and hibernate any apps listed. I'm pretty happy with this for now.
