Hi everyone,
I'm using a rom with Sense 3.5, but the Power Saver function seems to work different than previously on Sense 2.x-3.0.
I've preconfigured it that the Power Saver function should go on at 20% of battery, but it only displays a popup with a warning about my low battery.
When I manually turn on the Power Saver, it doesn't disable things like Haptic Feedback, lowering the brightness, disabling Bluetooth etc.
So I'm wondering what the point is of this feature or am I doing it wrong?
Can someone please help me, how to use this feature?

Does anyone have any power saving tips for WM6, specifically using the Exalibur model.
All I've done was lower the display and backlight timeout settings. And whenever I'm not using it, I've placed it in locked mode.
I remember with my old PDA in Windows Mobile 2002, that when I pressed the off button, it would simply hibernate or go into standby showing the home screen immediately when I turned it on. It seems that locking is the only way for quick access.
So if anyone has any other power management tips, I'd appreciated them.
Thanks
Disable OBEX if it's on, ensure wi-fi is disabled if not in use, & if you over clocked use a program that lowers the cpu cycles when the display is dim or off.
hello, what is OBEX? what program work fine for underclock the S620?
thanks
I use tornado power control & OMAP Clock. OBEX is file transfer over bluetooth. The Dash calls it Beam, not Beam as in Infrared since the Dash doesn't have IR.
also dim your LED to blik only when notification pending, use program DoNotForget
Hi!
I am not sure if that is what is eating my battery so fast but I cannot find where you can change the vibration mode from a really long one that it is now to a shorter vibration time.
Any help please?
Also, any other ideas on how to preserve battery life?
I am using stock 6.5 ROM with SPB Shell.
If your phone is really vibrating so much that it is significantly draining its battery life something is way wrong. Not sure what the issue is but I'll just throw this in for good measure.

This app allows you to control the length of vibration on certain events, such as tapping on screen keyboard buttons. But far as I know it has no control over other vibration events such as incoming phone calls and notifications.
Just curious, for extreme phone users during the workday, has anyone tried using the M8 all day on 'Power save' mode ? Not the extreme mode, but the regular Power saver ?
How much does this mode save on battery life, compared to not using it ? But my typical settings, are no GPS, no Bluetooth, set screen to 50% - 75%, Greenify set to hibernate a lot of background apps.
So one day I was just using my phone and when the battery saver popped at 15%, I noticed that the phone unlocked noticeably faster using the fingerprint scanner than it did before the battery saver kicked in. After playing around with the settings, I figured out that the thing that caused this was the vibration that occurs when you unlock it using the fingerprint scanner, which when the battery saver is on disappears. I tried to disable " Vibration on touch " from the settings, but although it disabled most of the vibrations, it didn't disable the one when you unlock the phone. Is there any way to disable that without having to turn on the battery saver ? ( I'm not rooted because I don't have a usb type C adaptor yet, so if you find something that doesn't involve root, it would be excellent )
I think it has more to do with the animations. Battery saver turns off all animations, so try that and see if it works.
Hello, I cannot find a way to have Tasker find out whether the 'battery saver' mode is ON or OFF. (h815p)
what i'm trying to do is to create a task that:
1 - checks if battery saver is ON or OFF
2 - if ON, turn battery saver off and set display brightness to 91
3 - if OFF, turn battery saver on and set display brightness to 255
i was able to get tasker to switch BS on or off (though not 'silently') - but there seems no way to know if BS if ON or OFF.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
PS. not sure why this feature is not discussed more in depth, it almost doubles my battery life with it.
