I'm using Package Disabler Pro and Substratum, otherwise my phone is pretty much stock Sprint. With PDP, I've made sure all processes are enabled (so no, I didn't disable it on accident,) restarted the phone, but the Maximum Power Saver mode is still unable to be enabled through it's own menus or toggles.
I have no idea what I could do to try and let me enable it? (It's a pretty important feature to me.)
Do it manually ?!
Navigate to Apps → Settings → Device maintenance → Battery → MAX → APPLY → More options → Turn off/on maximum power saving mode
Or try Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=de

You misunderstand, I was saying I'm certain it isn't disabled by PDP. I cannot click apply, it's greyed out.

This doesn't really change the fact I can't use Maximum Power Saving mode natively... not that huge of a phone junkie, I use it for a hotspot and a line for when I leave the house, rarely for videos, etc. Paying for Tasker just to see if I can enable MPSM with it is a big waste imo. (And I wouldn't use it for anything else.)
Well it works out of the box, so it is definitely something you did...
Factory reset?

My only guess is PDP's Device Admin through ADB tripped it up. But I'm not about to factory reset over it when I'd just have to do it again. Guess I'll have to wait for more robust non-root Package Disablers.
I'll try a system cache reset -- Edit: Nope, that didn't help.
I guess my only option is to factory reset, and that isn't something I look forward to.
I'm having the same problem, and I also use PDP. Did you ever get it to work?
So on my phone when I enabled PDP as "device owner" (because it stopped working otherwise after certain phone update or something) the max power saving mode got grayed our as well, when I delete PDP it comes right back, so it's either PDP or Max power saving, if you don't re-enable packages when you delete the PDP, those apps will stay disabled until you reinstall PDP and re-enable those apps. You can't install them because they already installed but disabled(if you left it disabled when u installing PDP) when PDP and PDP engine used to work on my phone max power saving mode worked fine, but after "device owner" became the inky option to use PDP, max power saving got grayed out.
OK, maybe I'm missing something, but I've got PDP as a administrator, and I have no problem enabling Maximun Power Saving Mode. I'm running the latest update for PDP and mostly have the stuff like Facebook, Bixby and Gmail turned off.

Not sure if this if workable for you guys but your could actually try this out: Settings > power > power saver > untick ypur data connection and do a reboot. That should work for those with power saver mode on and yet don't receive timely notifications. For those whom didn't enable power saver mode and yet also faces the same problem, I would highly recommend you to try out the above method by activating power saver mode and I hope this help those whom has been facing slow push notification problems
I have low needs for my phone and would like to have power saver enabled automatically, however I cannot find a way to do this. Is there any setting, app, tweak, command etc. that will enable power saving mode to start automatically and be the default mode?
I have turned on Powersaver and rebooted my phone. Powersaver stayed active.
I have turned on Extreme Powersaver and rebooted my phone. Extreme Powersaver dit not stay active.
If you require Powersaver only, then it shouldn't turn off once you activate it. If you're referring to Extreme Powersaver, I wasn't able to find anything on that. I will add that I do have a custom ROM. I am not sure if the ROM is why Powersaver stays on or not.
For your use I would do this:
Turn on Powersaver
Turn off Sync
GPS Off (Go to Settings >> Location >> Mode: "Battery Saving")
Turn off scanning for WiFi even while it's off (Go to Settings >> WiFi >> [Click the menu button, 3 dots on top right] >> Advanced >> Uncheck "Scanning always available" There's some other settings you may want to look at as well, like "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and whatnot.
This is all I can think of to help you out a bit more. If you don't use the internet for background syncing, you can turn off data and turn it on when you get ready to check something. In better service areas, you'll usually have data by time you're done toggling the service.
Thx. you are right about power saving staying enabled through a reboot. However, I would like to not to accidentally disable it. Is there a way to keep power saving enabled and have it not show up on the lockscreen? There should be a way to disable lockscreen notifications for power saver but I can't find one.
I would like to leave a coarse location-based app running in foreground. Is there a way to somehow disable the GPS from running? Having GPS on constantly would destroy the battery life. In the past (Oreo and before), I could solely use Wifi/Cell to provide coarse location in battery-saving mode, but this no longer seems possible in Android 9.0 Pie.
Anyone have a solution? I'd hate to have to switch back to Oreo.
Samsung Galaxy S9+ rooted with magisk. So if there's some module that can shut-off the GPS radio while leaving wifi/tower location enabled I would be interested.
Thanks!
fyi...
The old battery saving option seems to be there.
On the Pixel phones you can enable it via "developer options" -> "featured flag"
Samsung decided to ditch this feature flag, why i don't know.
But with tasker and my unrooted S9 i could enable the battery saving mode.
Although you can't verify i think it works.
As i use Life360 which triggers the GPS when opened and haven't seen the GPS icon since i toggled to battery saving mode.
So as lomg as it works i'm happy.

Can you please explane by steps, never used Tasker Im quiet lost I coudn't find the steps you mentionned, thx a lot !
It aint that hard.
At the moment no time to make a guide.
1. Install tasker app from playstore
2. Give Tasker as described in their thread via ADB write privilege.
3. Create a task on action "Location mode" and let it do battery saving.

Hi guys,
One of the features i like about ASUS phones is the ability to control apps through the app Mobile manger but the problem with it is that it takes a while to know how to use it. So what ends up happening is that a lot of your apps notifications gets delayed or never show up or your apps are killed when your phone screen turns off or your VPN is killed when you clear it from the recent apps menu.
Solution:
Open the Mobile Manager app:
-Head to Memory Cleaner section
-Go to "Super Clean mode is turned on" Setup - click it
here you can turn off the option for all apps or deselect the apps you don't want to be killed when you clear the apps from the recent menu, once the app is deselected from the App list it will appear under the headline "Standard Clean the following apps".
-Next after deselecting the apps go back to the PowerMaster section in Mobile Manger/ then Auto-start manger /
Here make sure that All apps button is turned green then under the section "Allowed" make sure to select the apps you want to auto start so that you can receive their notifications. Deselect the apps you don't want to auto start.
-Finally go to the settings page /under Battery section / detect battery-draining apps:
unselect "Detect & stop" button.
-Go back to: Battery optimization section:
make all the social apps and apps you want to receive their notifications on time turned to : "Not optimized".
After this your apps shouldn't be killed even after you clear them from the recent menu, and you will receive your notifications on time.
Good Luck
Apparently it's not working for Spotify

Are you sure you followed the steps stated. Personally i don't use Spotify so i am not sure if it works or not. So far I have no issues with apps I want to receive notifications from and ones I don't want to receive. If nothing works try to disable super clean mode and auto start apps and make sure battery optimization is not on for Spotify.
Really helpful post. I once tried to figure out the way to receive email notification and this just works. Thank you
thanks a lot buddy! i was having notification issues for some of the apps and its solved now! I had done most of the changes already but the Super clean mode was still on and causing issues. All good now.
I have tencent version converted on WW 1608 (fingerprint as well) and don't have that app in phone ???? You have CH rom folks?

Its not an app. Go to Settings > Advanced and you will see Mobile Manager as the first option under Assistive Tools.
On mobile manger cleanup where it says suggested optimization how do I uncheck uninstall rarely used apps I have so far tried resetting app preferences and also a factory reset and a hard factory reset

Thanks Vespirah - did you ever get to un-check the feature (I didn't).
Seems that theres a lack of changeable options for.power modes
If you select Medium Power Save it has the option to turn on/off 5G, Always on Display and limit CPU.
But if you activate theres other settings like Higher System Speed (which i assume is different from Refresh Rate because this is also listed at the bottom as restricted to 60hz )
So how do we turn on/off these other settings? I'd like to have medium power save with higher system speeds on.
I don't think you can modify some of those things with medium power saver on unfortunately. There seem to be some settings that are core to the medium power saving that must provide some of the main power saving them the rest is optional.

I switched to optimised now, Medium Power is good but seems that calendar doesn't sync even if you manually press sync in the calendar app. Says not available in Medium Power Save mode. And trying in accounts settings, what was deleted from another family member on shared calendar doesn't delete on my screen unless i switch Power mode and resync.
Annoying.

I'm running medium power with 120Hz and calendar sync, to do that for know I just downloaded Google calendar and hide it from app drawer, that one takes care the sync until Samsung hopefully release update that allow sync, because it was the same with the S10 but after one update it worked to sync calendar with medium power mode.
