ZenFone 2- Power Management / Smart Switch OFF But Still ON - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Power Management / Smart Switch OFF but still ON
Hi guys, as the title indicates under 'Settings > Power management > Power saver > Smart Switch' I have both options (By battery level & by Schedule) turned OFF, but the phone still switches between modes at the time set in 'By Schedule' option. This is happening since last update, WW_2.20.40.90.
Does anyone else experience this issue? For the moment, I've set it to switch to the same mode, but still get the Power saving notification.

[Q] power saver mode

I have it turned on and set to activate at 30%. However it doesn't automatically turn on when the battery gets that low. I need to turn it on in the notifications drop down. Is this how it is supposed to work or am I missing something? I thought it would activate on its own.

Battery Saver + Tasker

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.

auto night mode?

Hi guys
I was wondering if any of you found a way to automate night mode on our lenovo p2 nougat?
it's called brightness protection under Settings -> display
I want to enable it when the sun goes down and disable it when it's morning., like how similar night mode apps work (cf.lumen, lux etc)
currently I tend to forget disabling the option so the screen stays reddish.
I don't have root but know how to work abd if needed
Hi,
I was also struggling with this till I found out, go to settings, features, smart scenes and create one say for sleeping, you can adjust the time interval and with the plus button you can add a task for brightness protection.

Enabled Always On Display while on Pixel Stand. Now I can't disable it. Any ideas?

SOLVED: See first comment.
I prefer not to keep the Always On Display (AOD) enabled in an effort to prevent battery drain and premature screen burn-in. With that said, I received my Pixel Stand today and during the initial setup with the phone on the stand, it gave me the option to enable AOD, only when the phone is on the stand. I decided to turn it on to test out the features for a bit. However, now I'm unable to turn AOD off, for when the phone is on the stand.
I've dug through settings multiple times and can't seem to find it. Under Display > Advanced > Ambient Display, AOD is turned off, but it still turns on when the phone is on the stand. During the setup it said something about being able to turn it off in Assistant settings after the fact. But I've scavenged through every assistant setting I can find and cannot figure out how to turn it off.
At this point I'm stuck and don't want to factory reset to fix it. For now I'm refraining from using the Pixel Stand until I get this fixed. Which is a shame.
Any ideas?
In another thread uicnren posted a solution to my problem and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

for the record, you can find the settings at: settings > connected devices > previously connected devices > then tap the cog next to 'pixel stand'. then simply forget the stand, and re-add it again with the settings you desire.

The interface is confusing. The only way I got it to leave the phone off when charging (as recommended for battery lifetime (not having to replace it)- see "13 tips to extend the lifespan of your phone battery" by Lauren Stephen), is to forget it as described then refuse to add any settings when I put it in the pixel stand. Very sad, as I'd love to be able to use some of the features, but just also have it go to deep sleep while charging, IF I press the power off button while its on the stand.

Question Automating MIUI settings

Couple of things that really bug me on miui, is the inability to change colour sheme with reading mode on and why battery saver forgets that I had 120hz on.
My usual setup is setting color scheme to advanced, reading mode on, battey saver mode in the night,
Every morning I need to,
Turn off reading mode,
set color scheme to auto, and manually turn back on refresh rate to 120hz (for some reason when battey saver is turned off it doesn't go back to the original settings)
Miui doesn't seem to have the capability to do this at the flick of a button let alone scheduled(apart from the battery saver),
Was looking into apps like Automate/Tasker for the same,
Can't seem to find direct settings in these apps to toggle these oddly specific settings for me( reading mode, color scheme, refresh rate)
I figure the only way to go about it is using some scheduling apps to trigger a shell/adb command,
Are there any guides/docs available for what adb commands/shell utilities are available to alter these miui specific settings programmatically?
Alternatively any other approach to make this easier?
Thanks !

Also in my F3 with stock 12.5.3. I can't change the color scheme when reading mode is on.
Instead I verified that the 120hz frequency is set to 60hz if the energy saving is activated and returns to 120hz if it is deactivated (automatically);
It works well even if I schedule automatic activation and deactivation.
It works well even if active or I program the automatic activation of the reading mode.
I assume it's a problem with your software that I can't give a solution to. I am sorry.
