hello, i have a Huawei P9 lite, I've been using an anti-procrastination app for a while now on my phone (AppBlock) it basically locks me out of all my distracting app. this has been a huge problem to me as i'm addicted on social media and i can't focus on my work for 10 mins without checking my phone. the problem is that recently i discovered a way to bypass this lock. when i switch on my ultra power saving mode from my notification center, i can access all the blocked apps. moreover, when i come back from this mode this app doesn't function anymore. the only solution i could think of is a way to remove the ultra power saving toggle from notification center. is there a way to do so?

There are a few things I don't care for in my new SG5. Hoping someone could help:
- Default applications won't stick. For instance I have several different applications that could open to make a phone call (Phone, Talkatone, skype, etc). It doesn't matter which one I select they always pop up for me to select again.
- When battery level is down (I think around 10%) it automatically turns down the brightness level (wayyyyy down. I can barely see it) and disables the brightness control in notification bar. It also disables camera altogether (not just flash). I would like to be able to decide what I want to use those last minutes of juice for. Maybe instead of my phone extending the battery so I can make a call I would like to use that juice to take an important picture. In the past I've only seen the flash disabled, now it's the ability to use the camera altogether.
- Is there anyway to get rid of the quick connect and S finder buttons on the pulldown notification bar?...and while at it is there a way to get rid of the toggles altogether or at least make them way smaller. I like a clean notification bar. To me this is just clutter.
- The ultra power saving mode is cool, but I wish you could make it so it automatically goes into that mode under certain conditions (i.e. when the screen is turned off or when the battery falls below a certain threshold). In addition I wish I could pick what apps I could use under this mode not just the ones that came pre-defined with the phone. I understand that obviously that may affect how long the battery would last given that any app could consume a lot more power than the pre-defined ones.
I know (hope) over time as ROMs start to appear all of these "wishlist" features will be made available, but was wondering whether there are already ways to do this.
I second the removal of the s finder and quick connect
It makes no sense for the phone to go into ultra power saving mode when u put the screen to sleep
You wouldnt be able to use it right away
You would have to wait the 10 seconds for it to come out of ultra ps mode every time u feel like checking fb
But auto turning on after a certain percent would be nice

yes, this is VERY annoying
and what is even more annoying is it gives you a stupid reminder on how to reset setting that app as a default every time...its just 1 more extra button to press all the time
Hi
I know it states "Restricting location services and most background data" so every time I lock my phone, I can't get messages through Facebook Messenger or Snapchat and when I open the app I should wait a few seconds for it to reconnect.
I find this new power saving mode annoying, as I can't choose to turn this specific thing off, so I can't use power saving mode to save power by lowering screen brightness and CPU without losing the ability to actually use the smartphone the way it should be used.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance

All I can think about now is to wait for a "battery saving" kernel, of course, only if you have already knocked (or don't mind) tripping KNOX.

It's tripped long long time ago.
On XtreStoLite beta 2 for Marshmallow with Adam Kernel. Not looking for more ways to save juice. Looking for a way to activate power saving mode, will still allowing things like Facebook Messenger to be able to use background data.
Yeah man i was downloading and i set my phone to saving mode then i was thinking it will be finished i checked my phone i found i didnt even download 1mb from 2.2Gb
There is a white list option in doze settings in Greenify? Will try it out and report back.

Hi
Is anybody able to use Ultra Power Saver button feature of Lenovo P2 with custom ROM's (lineage os or some other)?
Any way to install this feature into them?

I guess this button triggers a feature that is developed by Lenovo specifically for the P2. I guess having that in lineage and other custom work would require coding such a function. Which does not seem impossible.
I tried to guess what this feature does, it seems to mainly stop any running app, Bluetooth, wifi, data, nfc, put the phone in Extreme power saver mode and show a black screen with big numbers and a set of icons to a limited number of applications like the phone and other things I cannot remember. Leaving the "Ultra Power Saver" state restores Bluetooth, wifi, data, nfc if they were enabled.
I guess that you'd need to have support for this button in lineage (maybe it is the case for kernels that are based on stock kernel) and somehow associate this button to this feature, but I don't know Android well enough to know how one would do that. It would be not essential but nice to have as far as I'm concerned. I would also like to be able to use this button for other things.
In case I run into a situation in which I need to save power to such extents, I would turn wifi, bluetooth, data, nfc off, put the phone in extreme power saver mode and force close apps that are likely running in the background (instant messaging, mails, file / contact syncing / backup, integration with computers,…).
I want to turn my phone into a GPS tracker because the products on the market are not too good.
- The phone should use as little energy as possible. (Built in power saving mode and flight mode is not enough)
- On shaking/vibration detected it should wake up and turn OFF flight mode and send me a message through an app that will give my primary telephone an alarm.
- Then I shoulf be able to start sort of a Skype conversation so that I can see and hear what is going on. (Like actually using Skype and have some automatic answering enabled?)
Then I can use Find my Device or Samsung service to locate the phone.
Anyone who knows of anything usefull O can use to achieve some of these things ?
I'm looking to do the same thing but with an S7
Have you found a solution?

I have not. It would require a faily simple app and I guess a rooted phone because the control of flight mode etc. demands it.
I did not spend time on it but it is on my list.
Hi Everyone, I was hoping you might be able to help me.
I have installed serveral productivity blockers on my phone - I find I easliy slip into wasting too much time on it so I wanted to disable certain apps via blocking apps.My problem is that every app I have tried so far is easily disabled by the uiltra batter saver mode, which cannot seem to be adjusted to allow these blockers to continue to run in the background. I have looked on the forums for the apps I was using, and they seem to say therer is no real way round this issue on their end. So, I have concluded that I need to somehow completely disable ultra battery saver mode from the device, or at least completey remove my access to it. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to delete certain system files andmake that mode unusable? Or if not, if there was a way to remove the ability to add the ultra batter mode toggle to the control centre, as I can disable all other ways of activating it through other means.
Thanks guys!
