I was hoping to find a way to have Tasker turn on PSM when I'm at work or at night when I'm sleeping. Is there a way to either get Tasker to do this or to create a scrpt to access PSM via terminal?

I was looking for this as well. I know it should be possible via an activity but I don't know where to find it. The closest I could find was in the settings app, but this only opens the settings dialog.
com.android.settings.Settings.$PowerSettingsActivity
Maybe it is somewhere in one of the samsung apps? If so it would be great if one of the devs here knew.
Don't know how to do it with tasker. Not sure it would be possible as it's a samsung function, not a native android function.
I can get my overnight power draw to less then 1% per hour even with bluetooth and cellular on. GPS and wifi affect my battery the most
If your mobile is rooted then it is possible by dpad.
First make power saving mode toggler in notification bar as attached in screen shot.
Now make task (nameower saving on)as below
1. Status bar: expanded
2. Dpad: action down-1
3. Dpad: action press-1
4. Status bar : collapse
Make same task for power saving off.
You can add in any profile like display on, display unlocked etc.

Maybe it does not matter now, but app Secure Settings (plugin for Tasker, free) can do this. And it works well.
Sorry, you're limited to 8 Thanks per day
Thanks everyone, these ideas you guys have make up for my lack of imagination and helps me out a bunch

Just wanted to share for the people that arnt aware.
Hit menu, developer settings.
1. Force GPU rendering.
2. Limit background processes to 3 or 4 (this will need to be set on every reboot).
3. Turn both animations off.
I say may work on aokp, because I havnt used it yet.
This may turn into a full blown "battery saving tips" thread, but atm its for ICS.

I'm sure most people know, but for the slow ones like me, would you mind a little how-to for your tips? I can do the limit background processes, but don't know how to do the others...
Thanks!

The tips 1-3 are all in the same menu, developer settings. Sorry I couldnt post the image, using xda app, not allowing me to, but theres the direct link.

LOL , thanks Adrian, and yeah Im about tired of the new advanced 3g in Atl. Better speeds outside maybe, less signal penetration, definitely.

Sadly that's where the advantages of GSM shine
I just went through the animations, it doesn't make sense why people would want to be turning at x10 its redunk lol
anyone know if in ICS theres an option like in GB to turn 'background data' off?

Yep. You can either shut the 3G off from: Settings > Wireless and Network > More > Mobile Networks > 3G data [checkbox].
OR you can just turn the background data off like you said: Settings > Accounts and Sync > ON/OFF switch in the upper bar.
Hope this helps. You can also use Juice defender or something like it to stop the background data automatically and let it connect once every 15, 30, 60 minutes or so...
This is driving me mad.
My new Galaxy Note 2 randomly goes onto Silent mode. I thought it might be to do with motion so I switch all the settings off. Also there are two settings in display regarding motion and I've switched those off as well.
Still it goes randomly into Silent when I get back to the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or could it be a rougue app doing this?
I have read people complaining about this on the S3.
Thanks
Anis
Long shot, but... Did you check "lock mode" in settings?
Switch off your block mode if it is on in settings.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I think this is a builtin fault of system and it is with android since ICS
Thanks for the replies:
1) Don't know what you mean by Lock Mode?
2) Block mode is definitely not set.
It just did it again.

Sorry. My phone's language is Portuguese and I had to make a guess at the English equivalent. It is probably "block" as leony74 said. 6th entry on the Settings menu.
Sorry folks, I think it was my fault.
My Islamic prayer time app automatically put the phone in silent at prayer time.
Well, I am 99% certain it was this anyway.
I'll report back if it still is going into silent.
Thanks for all your help.
Exactly, Salati app was doing the trick, and the image confirm your theory.

Thanks for your reply, the problem was caused by our prayer app (Muslim prayers) so it turns the phone silent for praying time, i disabled it because sometimes i am not in the mosque so i need my phone on.

I finally found one of the possible reasons! It was avg antivirus app that was causing same problem in my note 2. Try uninstalling avg antivirus. It worked for my phone
Hi,
I use the standard alarm on my Galaxy S3 to wake me up in the morning.
When it goes off I usually just press a button on the side to turn it off. Since a few days, after I've done this there is a notification in the top bar, and a message when I swipe it down. (see screenshot below ) The message reads (mine is in Dutch): "Alarm - You can stop alarms or put them in hiberna.." where I suppose the rest would be "...te by going into settings.." or something.
The annoying thing is this message is a permanent notification and it isn't possible to swipe the message away or I haven't found a way to turn it off. The only way is to reboot the device. Not too much trouble, but kinda trivial to have to do this every day just to get rid of a notification
The phone just recently started doing this, so I'm guessing it came in with a recent update or something.
Any help would be appreciated!
Dries

Long press the notification, then press App Info. Uncheck the Show Notifications box.

Thank you for the reply!
It won't let me uncheck the box, but you did gave me a way to get rid of the notification; as I can "force close" the app. I then have to remember to start it back up, otherwise I won't wake up on time the next day
If there's any more help, I'd be glad to hear it!
I honestly think the best solution is to find a better app. I'd recommend Alarm Clock Plus. There's a free version you can try.

I just installed it. Thanks for the help!
I've never seen this one before.
I would clear data for it and see if it continues, but it looks like you installed another alarm app. I personally am using Timely now. I like the compatibility between TW and AOSP ROMs, the syncing feature, etc.
I would freeze the stock clock app if you're not using it anymore. Wakelocks you don't need.
Just like with the old firmware, as soon as your watch gets lower than 16% Power Saving Mode activated itself deactivating stuff like Ambient Mode and reducing the brightness. And it also turns both the display turn on when a new notification gets in as well as the vibration off.
You can turn this mode off again after it got activated but there is no way to permit that it gets activated at 15% in the first place and unless you scroll through your notification by chance you probably not realizing that it's on.
Am I the only one that find that implementation unacceptable?

How do you turn this power saving mode off after it has been activated ? It's driving me crazy too. Below 15% the watch becomes useless.
Well, it still displays time...

Swipe left to right, you then get the option to deactivate power saving mode. But it's per time; better would be to give the options in settings if we want it to go into this power saving mode.

Strange, it doesn't work for me. If I swipe left to right I don't get any option (latest update 1.3).

Thank you very much
It seems to last an extra 1.5 hours with Power Save disabled. Just what I needed to finish the day in always-on mode.
I am using SwiftKey on the Note 7 and each time I change the Power Savings the keyboard resizes it gets really big or small. Rebooting helps but I wish I didnt have to. Does anyone know what is the Issue and what can be done? - - thanks in advance!
Is it because the power saving mode also changes the resolution and SwiftKey hasn't compensated for the change?

Hi, good point. When I have Power Saving (MID) Mode on, the font content in chrome looks larger and the keyboard looks fine. When I turn off Power Savings., the font content looks normal but the keyboard shrinks. However I have also sent the keyboard enlarge so as you can't see all the keys.
Don't need to reboot. I just switch keyboards in the notification pull down then switch back to SwiftKey and it fixes it. Not a fix but faster then a reboot

I don't see option to switch keyboard in notification pull down.
Should look like this. Click on "select keyboard" and choose a different keyboard. Then do it again and click SwiftKey.
