Super Battery Saving Modes for SetCPU - Galaxy Tab 4 General

Super Saving Battery Modes for
SetCPU​
Disclaimer: Tinkering with CPU/s is dangerous, do it at your own risk​
Requirements:
• SetCPU installed
• Root access
First launch SetCPU and tap Recommended Settings in the introduction, grant root access
Introduction
Here what we will do is we will create profiles in SetCPU to set the frequency to lower frequencies.
I recommend that you use a custom firmware like LOS or whatever OS that is bloat free, but the stock rom is ok naman. The reason for this is stock roms tend to lag much more than the custom ones.
Profile creation - Night Mode
Ok, first create profile, then add a trigger + select time range.
Pick the time range that you are mostly sleeping ex. 11:00 to 8:00 in my case
Set the values:
• CPU Speed - 500Max and 400Min(Lowest one you have
• Uncheck the cpu governor only ifyou don't have the powersave governor, if you have enable it and set it to powersave
• Ignore I/O scheduler
• Check Show Notification and Persistent and choose Battery
Hit next then just name it ULTRA Stamina Mode - Enabled, for better identification, set the priority to 100 and uncheck the Exclusive profileYou will know later why then hit next.
Profile Creation - Standby Mode
Again set the trigger in Any of These True, inside of it choose time range:
Mostly you have a time that you are awake but not literally active doing some in your Android ex. For me that is 8:00 to 12:55 and 20:00 to 22:55
*Don't worry u can create another condition inside the of the condition Any of These True if you want to set two time range
Set the values:
• CPU - 800Max and 400Min
• Ignore the governor and I/O scheduler
• Tick the notification and persistent and choose Normal
Name the profile: Standby Mode - Active, priority to 99 and not exclusive.
Profile Creation - Charging
Now this profile is the reason why i did not make any profile exclusive because this profile can be active anytime and it will override the current active profile.
Set the Trigger to Charging State and change it to Charging AC then hit next.
Set the values:
• CPU - 700Max
• Ignore the governore and I/O scheduler
• Enable Notification and Persistent, choose charging. Hit next
Name it Charging and ofcourse do not set it to Exclusive, priority to 98. Tap next
Profile Creation - Boost Mode
Now this mode is the time that it changes the CPU frequency to high but not maximum to save battery.
Again create a profile then for the trigger select Time Range:
Select the time range that you are mostly doing operations on your Android, typically its After Launch until mid -midnight. (Ex. For me its 13:00 to 19:55. Hit next
Important: Do not overlap the time ranges between the profiles you've created, you will have some problems, try alotting 5 minutes between them.
Set the values:
• CPU - 1200Max and 400Min
• Ignore the governor and I/O scheduler
• Enable notification, tick the persistent and choose warning. Hit next
Name it Boost Mode - Active
Priority to 97 and not exclusive. Tap next
And you are done, post a quick reply if you have questions but please do not quote OP.
I will attach a series of screen shots in the next post for reference.
Be sure to hit thanks button if this profiles work for you

[APP][2.1+][CPU Spy Plus][v0.5.60] CpuSpy Plus by realgpp

Hi people, I've dicided to update the app of storm717 (here) with some more features.
Some of those ideas are mine and others have been suggested by other users.
So if you'd like to add something more feel free to comment this post. Or just to say thanks
If something doesn't work write it here and I gonna try to fix it :good:
Screenshots of the app in the attachments :cyclops:
[ TO ROM DEVELOPER ] If you would like to include the app in your ROM, do it. No problem at all. The only thing I ask is you write me (PM,email) the link of your ROM. That's all
If something doesn't work, before going crazy and cursing me, my suggestions are:
1. clean the app's data from the android application menu and then check if the problem is still there.
2. If it's still there, reinstall the app, clean the app's data and check again.
If the above methods haven't resolved the problem, write it here or send me an meail to [email protected]
Due to the problems in uploading files here :silly:, I'll use my mediafire directory for now on: link to directory

removed the "On/Off Listen Batt Events" option menu
when phone shutdown/restart timer and connection datas are deleted
added confirmation alertbox to the "Delete Connection Datas" preference
Removed "Restart" menu option because it's not useful anymore
Added the total state time and relative %age of the "less than 1%" freqs
It's now possible to choose the min value to activate the timer when a cable is unplugged. If the threshold is 0% the timer is restored anytime the cable is unplugged.
when cable is plugged-in the timer is deleted
Added "Cpu Files" menu item to see the content of the files: time_in_state and affected_cups.
If it's say that the two files doesn't exist for the cpu1 it means that the 2nd core has been switched off and the concerning files have been deleted.
Reserved, maybe it will be useful.
tnx again!
I have test this v.0.5.02...
cable event (set to on) is not working correctly, when unplug ac the timers wasn't reset
First a repost from someone that was said on the original thread: I agree that having an option that (when enabled) turns something OFF is indeed a bit weird (or at least backwards). Having the option to turn it on (or remove the check mark to turn it off) is much more intuitive.
Second I have a few request for the Menu.
Can I assume you're on ICS and therefore don't see any icons in the menu? As you can see in the attached screen shot the icons aren't helping when looking for a certain option. Could you use some that at least vaguely reflect the usage of the entry? There are fitting standard-icons at least for 'refresh'/reload and Settings. I'd suggest a 'list'-like icon for the Cpus File and an eye for the show/hide, but read the next paragraph first.
Also related to the menu is a question of consistency. I understand why the "show/hide 1%" thingy is in the menu (as it was introduced when there were no preferences), but wouldn't it be more consistent now to move it to the preferences? I would also move the option to show the C
I also have a few suggestions for renaming various entries to make it clear what they actually do.
"Cable Events" is not very clear as there are quire a few potentially connected cables (including headphones, some have HDMI-Adapters and so on). How about "Charger (dis)connection". Can it even do anything upon plugging it in? If not I'd recommend a plain "Charger disconnection".
"Timer activation threshold" doesn't mention in any way what it actually does, even if you include the descriptive text of the entry (it does suggest that once a certain threshold is reached, something happens, which isn't the case, and it doesn't mention to what value the threshold is applied). I think it is the minimum threshold for the "Juice Lost/Time Spent" statistic. How about "Minimum battery level for reset" or something along those lines? Expand upon it in the descriptive line like "If this level was reached while charging, unplugging resets the timer and values for 'juice lost'".
"Show/Hide 1% used states" is a bit long (and I can't read the all of it as you can see from the screenshot. In case you don't move it to the preferences, could you make it "Show <1% states" and "Hide <1% states", respectively?
"Cpus Files" is also a bit weirdly capitalized. Why not just "CPU Files"? Why the 's' after 'cpu' and why not capitalize the CPU?
I have to say that I'm no entirely sure what the percentages on wifi/mobile are supposed to show. If you want to give the user a rough idea of how much power they used when they were on that is going to be a horribly skewed result, as it doesn't include the display on/off (which is of course the main power drain on pretty much any android phone).
Finally, would you consider combining "CPU Info" and "Kernel Info" in a retractable section called "Device Info" or something similar? After all, those aren't needed by everyone (or needed very rarely in general, like the kernel info) and it would be nice to be able to hide them.

Added in the TODO list, let's say so
Wow, very good and very fast
Thank you very much!
Tnx you.
Up to now I haven' t plug the ac
So i install this new version
I'm still getting problems with these timers not resetting I'm afraid. Seems to be very hit or miss if they reset or not.
I think it all needs simplifying:
Have a tick box to reset timers on any charger connect/ disconnect. Don't bother with thresholds. You either want the timers to reset automatically or not, so just keep a single tick box to do all this for you, to set this on/off.

It works for me with the setting in the attached screenshot. I had once in an update or two back where it did not work. I checked and unchecked the two check boxes and that resolved it.
La test version same problem timers doesn t reset

Try checking the boxes, back key to the main screen, menu, settings, uncheck the boxes, back button to the main screen. Exit the app and try it when you need to charge.
Hope that helps.
This is better! I like it..

[APP][2.1+]Smart Screen

Do you use your phone a lot on constant brightness? Does this drain battery or strain your eyes? Here's an application which will help you get accustomed to lower screen brightness.
hxxp://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.torcellite.smartscreen
Smart Screen reduces brightness gradually from two settings set by the user. You can also add a screen filter to it.
How to use the app:
To start, set a comfortable start brightness and a lower end brightness. You can see the previews.
Set by how many points the brightness should fall every cycle.
Set the cycle time in minutes. Minimum being minute.
Also apply a screen filter if using at night or if required.
Once complete, a notification will pop up allowing you to reset your brightness and disables the filter.
NOTE: ENABLE FILTER ONLY RIGHT BEFORE PRESSING START OR YOU CANNOT CUSTOMIZE THE TIME AND BRIGHTNESS REDUCTION POINTS.
You can also use the app as a dimmer. Just enable the filter and leave it. You dont have to press start. To disable, go to the app again and uncheck "Enable screen filter".
Example:
Start brightness : 200
End brightness : 100
Reduce brightess by: 15
Interval : 2m
So, the app will reduce brightness by 15 every two minutes from 200 to 100.
The screen filter is to add a shadow kind of effect.

[App]Galaxy Max Hz (Refresh Rate Mods, Screen-off Mods and More)

About this app:
Refresh Rate Control: Easily control the max refresh rate (Hz) of android devices with multiple refresh rates (e.g. note20 ultra, s20/S20+/S20Ultra, z fold 2, s21/s21+/s21Ultra, tab S7/S7+, z fold 3, z flip 3). This app can limit max refresh rate to 96hz (or any available refresh rate) on supported smartphones - you can save power with negligible difference on smoothness. Use either the in-app toggle or quick settings tile - ADB setup or Root NOT needed.
Force High: Option to use High(Fixed) motion smoothness mode on Samsung devices with native Adaptive motion smoothness***
Current Samsung smartphones natively supporting adaptive refresh rates:
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Galaxy Z Fold 2
Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra
Galaxy Z Flip 3
Galaxy Z Fold 3
Refresh Rate Monitor: Show real-time screen refresh rate as statusbar icon and/or as overlay. Overlay size and location is adjustable. Use either the in-app toggle or quick settings tile
Quick Resolution Switcher: Easily switch to any supported resolutions using the included quick setting tile***
Quick High/Adaptive on Power Saving Mode: Easily switch to high or adaptive motion smoothness mode (from Standard) even on power saving mode on supported Samsung smartphones.***
Note: Not working (blocked by samsung) on some devices with OneUI4.0
Force to Lowest Hz: Force lowest refresh rate on screen-off/AOD. This overrides Samsung's strange stock behavior which sets the refresh rate to the highest on screen off (update: it is now at 60hz since oneui3.0) - to improve standby power consumption a bit - ADB setup or Root NOT needed.
Auto apply power saving mode during screen-off (after ~ 10 secs)***
Tasker plugin support: Automate GMH settings with Tasker app. Supported actions/variables: max refresh rate, min refresh rate, keep smooth motion on PSM, motion smoothness mode, quick-doze mod, change dispaly resolution, auto sensors off. More info in FAQs below
Premium Features:
Keep High/Adaptive motion smoothness when power saving mode is enabled whether manually or by the system/adaptive power saving***
Note: Not working (blocked by samsung) on some devices with OneUI4.0
Adaptive refresh rate mod for devices supporting multiple refresh rates but do not have the stock Adaptive motion smoothness (e.g. S20 series, S20FE, TabS7/S7+,S21FE) with the ability to set the brightness threshold for its activation***
Quick-doze mod: Quickly enter doze mode during screen-off that can not be interrupted by motion ***
Set minimum refresh rate for adaptive mode to 60hz or lower (if supported)***
Resolution switcher filter: Filter what screen resolutions to include for the resolution switcher QS tile.
Auto SENSORS OFF (experimental non-root workaround):
Device sensors will automatically turn off while screen is off until the device is unlocked. This helps minimize battery-draining motion-triggered wakelocks while device is not being used.
Statusbar net speed indicator
7-day Premium Trial is available. Just click "Activate Premium|Trial" button and activate free trial when prompted.
Note: The premium license is on a per device basis.
***these marked features require a one-time ADB setup (this is not root)
Info: This app targets older android sdk in order to control refresh rates without ADB setup. Just ignore the dialog that says "This app was built for an older version of Android...." when opened for the first time.

This app can limit max refresh rate to 96hz (or any available refresh rate) on supported smartphones - you can save power with negligible difference on smoothness. Use either the in-app toggle or quick settings tile - ADB setup or Root NOT needed.
Switch to High: Option to use High(Fixed) motion smoothness mode on Samsung devices with native Adaptive motion smoothness***
Current Samsung smartphones natively supporting adaptive refresh rates:
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Galaxy Z Fold 2
Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra
Refresh Rate Monitor: Observe how multiple refresh rates work on your device. Use either the in-app toggle or quick settings tile
Quick Resolution Switcher: Easily switch to any supported resolutions using the included quick setting tile***
Quick High/Adaptive on Power Saving Mode: Easily switch to high or adaptive motion smoothness mode (from Standard) even on power saving mode on supported Samsung smartphones.***
Force to Lowest Hz: Force lowest refresh rate on screen-off/AOD. This overrides Samsung's strange stock behavior which sets the refresh rate to the highest on screen off (update: it is now at 60hz since oneui3.0) - to improve standby power consumption a bit - ADB setup or Root NOT needed.
Auto set power saving mode during screen-off***
Ad-Free Exclusive Features:
Keep motion smoothness when power saving mode is enabled - either manually or by the system/adaptive power saving***
Adaptive refresh rate mod: Experimental adaptive refresh rate mod for devices supporting multiple refresh rates but do not have the native Adaptive motion smoothness (e.g. S20 series, S20FE, TabS7/S7+, A52 and A72)***
Quick-doze mod: Quick doze mode during screen-off to improve standby power consumption***
Set minimum refresh rate for adaptive mode to 60hz or lower (if available)***
Resolution switcher filter: Filter what screen resolutions to include for the resolution switcher QS tile.

v7.13
Anti-flicker: added minimum brightness threshold for Adaptive mod similar to the native one. When the device's display brightness falls below the set minimum brightness threshold, adaptive mod will pause and will resume once the brightness increases again above the threshold. This is for devices who are experiencing flickers when refresh rate switches at certain low brightness level.Stability and bug fixes

Question [GUIDE] Device Settings Menu | Part III - Display, Lock screen, Biometrics, Security, Safety

Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 3 - Display, Lock screen, Biometrics and security, Safety
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.​
Display
Dark mode settings: I have kept it 'Turn on as scheduled' with 'sunset to sunshine'. If scheduled, the dark mode is only enabled after the screen gets off.
Brightness: When you change brightness in 'Adaptive brightness' mode, your device is smart enough to learn your usage patterns to determine the best level according to the environment as per your preferences. 'Reset usage patterns' in case you think your phone is drunk when in Auto mode.
Motion Smoothness: You have a monster with a 120 Hz refresh rate! Use it with 'Adaptive' mode. It also saves battery keeping your refresh rates low when not needed. 'Standard' mode uses a constant 60 Hz refresh rate. Use it when you know you will be scrolling and watching movies but want to save battery.
Eye comfort shield [Formerly Blue light filter]: Learn why you should use it here. I've set it to 'Custom' > 'Turn on as scheduled' > 'Sunset to sunrise'. You can toggle it from the notification panel as well. Still need to see how the new 'Adaptive' mode works - it claims that it makes minor adjustments throughout the day. Anyone can comment?
Night Mode: (Pie update) Enable it to make use of true blacks on your AMOLED screen, save battery and put less strain on eyes. I know you want it to only enable at night, so hop up to developer mode and set 'Night mode' to Automatic.
Screen mode: I've set it to 'Vivid' to let Samsung be where it is best at - Display Vibrance! If you are towards the cooler or warmer side, you have now the option to customize with 'White balance'. In 'Advanced settings', you also get to tweak RGB colours!
Font size and style; Screen zoom: I've set 'Screen Zoom' to 'Small' and 'Font Size' to Level 2 in order to get more content in a screen view. Please tell me if there's any better font on Galaxy Apps.
Screen resolution: By default, you don't get the resolution enabled that your S22U is capable of. I've changed it to WQHD+ for getting the most out of the best display in the market. I've the resolution set to HD+ in Medium Battery Saver mode in case I'm on Survival mode.
Full screen apps: I customize it when needed for an app. You can tell which apps should not show your camera cutout (so they show a bar instead)!
Screen timeout: Mine is set to 10 minutes. You know, pro users!
Home screen: Self-explanatory and I use Nova Launcher. Do enable 'Quick-open' notification panel.
Edge panels: You can set a maximum of 9 panels. Explore options for each panel and try more of them from the Store. I've enabled Apps edge (also make app pair and folders), People edge (upto 10), Smart select (take portion screenshots, make screen GIFs, pin a screen's content), Clipboard edge (auto-categorizes items), Reminder, Device maintenance (useful to review device performance OTG), Tasks edge (explore all available tasks), Quick tools (must have), Calendar. Tap Menu and 'Reorder' the panels as per your needs. In 'Edge panel handle', I've set the Transparency to highest and Size and widht to larges. I've dragged the handle to Right near power button so that I can always guess where the handle is.
Navigation bar: You can enjoy the immersive display by setting 'Navigation type' to 'Swipe gestures' and disabling 'Gesture hints' and 'Show button to hide keyboard'. I eventually got used to this. You also have an option to go back by dragging the sides. You can use Nav bar button on Quick Settings by dragging down the notification panel to toggle showing the navbar then.
Accidental touch protection: Really useful because I keep my phone screen faced to my leg side when inside pocket so that it's protected from the outside cruel world.
Screensaver: In case phone is your life even when it wants to get charged peacefully.
Lock screen
Screen lock type: I use Pattern with Biometrics (Intelligent Scan and Fingerprints mostly Fingerprints only). Fingerprints remain the best security and battery-efficient method to date at least for me. Use Iris for more security than regular face recognition. Also, with Iris, your device won't get unlocked while you're sleeping or with your photo. Use 'Intelligent Scan' for bit more ease (read about it here).
Smart Lock: It's a Google feature that can unlock your phone via On-body detection, Trusted places/devices and Voice Match. I used it once with On-body detection but couldn't impress me. Read about it here.
Secure lock settings: Disabled 'Make pattern visible'. Set 'Lock automatically' to 15 seconds in case I want to turn on the screen immediately without unlocking it. Anyways, 'Lock instantly with power key ' is enabled when I explicitly want it to get locked. Use 'Auto factory reset' carefully as someone could initiate this by simply making incorrect attempts. I've enabled 'Lock network and security' especially for theft use-case.
Always On Display: For customizing it, go to 'Clock style' below. Guide on AOD here and video here. You now have new display mode as 'Tap to show' AOD for 30 seconds. I've set it to 'show as scheduled' such it doesn't glow when I sleep. Also, I get an idea that it's time to get to bed when AOD stops showing up (same for wakeup).
Clock style: You can customize AOD with different clock styles, pictures, GIFs, Calendar and roaming clocks. Blue 'colour' gives a soothing effect every time I look at the clock for me. Similarly, you can customize your Lock Screen clock style here.
Content to show: 'Home button and clock' feel elegant for me.
Auto brightness: If enabled, you can also change it by double tapping the AOD clock. I have set it to the maximum to get eyes on it!
Show always; Set schedule: If you often check the clock at night, you can enable the former. I've disabled AOD during my night sleep schedule so that I additionally get a hint when it's already time to go to bed and whether it's time to get up or not.
Turn off to save battery: Enabled. Do you need AOD in survival mode too?
Roaming clock: I had to disable it as every operator in India puts SIM to Roaming mode when you're out of your circle (mostly defined to a state) and I get two identical clocks whenever I travel out of state.
Widgets: Enabled all available choices and will decide about the reordering or need of each of them after I arrive at the use-cases. The same goes for you maybe.
Contact information: Do fill it. I've included my name and number on it. Can be useful when stolen, lost or misplaced. You can include email or alternative mobile numbers as well since the primary number would probably be in the device itself.
Notifications: I've changed it to 'Details' from 'Icon only' since later makes it similar to AOD style notifications and I want the description of notifications once I go over my AOD screen. 'Hide content' if you don't want people to read your notifications. I rather do this on a per-app basis (like messages for OTPs, sensitive apps). 'Notifications icons only' Toggle 'Transparency' if you find it difficult to read notification over the wallpaper or want your wallpaper to expose. 'Auto-reverse text colour' makes it easier to adapt with the wallpaper. You can define 'Where to show' your notifications here (AOD or Lock screen or both).
Shortcuts: Define the two shortcuts you see on the bottom screen corners while on lock screen. You can choose any app though default (phone and camera) works for me.
Biometrics and security
Biometrics: You can remove biometrics data and configure 'Samsung Pass' to use these here. You can enable 'Screen-on' scan for making the device scan for your face as soon as screen turns on. This increases brightness immediately while it's scanning (can be annoying) and will drain some battery. In 'Fingerprint Scanner', you can add as many as 4 fingerprints (reserve one for Secure Folder).
Screen transition effect: Disabled as I want things at fastest.
Google Play Protect: Enabled. Read more here.
Find My Mobile: 'Remote controls', 'Google location service' and 'Send last location' enabled. This should be the first things to review once you buy the device. Prepare yourself with a demo on findmymobile.samsung.com.
Security update: Shows the patch level and gets updated with 'Software Update'.
Samsung Pass: Saves your passwords, addresses and payment information securely.
Install Unknown Apps: Allow/Disallow existing apps to install apps from APK.
Secure Folder: The replacement for Samsung My Knox. Must-use feature to separate your very private and confidential part of the phone. Guide here and video here.
Private Share: You can share your photos and videos without letting anyone save or download it. Uses blockchain. Need to learn more about this.
Other security settings: 'Set up SIM card lock' disabled (same reason as in 'Secure startup'), 'Make passwords visible' disabled, 'Security policy updates' auto update enabled (Here is what are these), 'Send security reports' enabled. Set 'Device admin apps' with care (Learn about them here in case you haven't). You need to remove an app from here before uninstalling it. 'Creditial Storage' for CAs and user certificates (Learn more about CAs here). 'Pin windows' is a very useful feature for me. In cases where you need to give your device to someone (for like watching a movie or seeing the gallery), if this is enabled with 'ask for pattern before unpinning', when you 'pin' that app (video player or gallery), people will have to pass the lock method to get out of that app. Configure which apps can have 'Usage data access', 'Notification access' and 'Do not disturb permission'.
Privacy
All permissions; Permissions manager: Manage and view granular level permissions per app or apps per permission basis.
Controls and alerts: You can set if apps can have 'Camera access' or 'Microphone access'. Disabling this makes no installed app to access these - could be done when you are in spy mode. You can also get alerted when an app accesses your clipboard with 'alert when clipboard accessed'.
Samsung: You get the privacy policy in Samsung Privacy. In Customization Service, I have disabled Use mobile data to save my data against nothing important. You can also request to Download your data Samsung has collected about you.
Google: Just like above, see what Google collects!
Location
App permissions: Allow apps and sites to detect your device's location. I've enabled it since I use too much location-specific content. You can turn it off if you suspect your dad working in NSA (approx. locality can still be tracked through IP, use VPN). If you need to enable Location for an app, I suggest using Allow while using app than Allow all the time for apps that you think only needs to use while you are using the app. Why allow Instagram to get location all the time when you only need it while sharing something? Google Maps, on the other hand, can give you information about upcoming traffic if allowed in the background!
Wi-Fi scanning; Bluetooth scanning: Wi-Fi scanning uses the database of Wi-Fi locations to predict your location. Read how it works here. Similar goes for BT.
Safety and emergency
Fill your Medical Info like Blood group and conditions so that any help knows about this when life goes wrong.
Add your Emergency contacts so you can access them on lock screen.
You can enable DND while you are driving with Silence notifications while driving.
Emergency mode [Formerly Ultra power saving mode]: You get a black screen that enables you to call and text. Saves a great battery when you are in survival mode. You can add few apps like WhatsApp too!
Panic mode: Keep this enabled (can save you) and when you press your power key 3 times, your device sends Location, Emergency text and photos from your camera to your selected content. Be careful that you are likely to press the power button multiple times when you are stressed and you would be sending unwanted photos to your contacts. Either disable the photo-sharing option or select contacts carefully.
FAQs
Does having Adaptive Refresh Rate really work better with a battery instead of 60 Hz? (Asked by @brokyneo)
Ans: It depends on the usage. If you reading something and not watching dynamic content like videos, you don't need to refresh the screen 120 times a second!
Adaptive Refresh Rates on S22 Ultra has 7 rates: 10Hz, 24Hz, 30Hz, 48Hz, 60Hz, 96Hz and 120Hz. With 10 Hz, you essentially make the GPU display frames 92% fewer times! This should save your battery to a great extent!
