I found that I get better battery life if I keep power saving mode on during my daily use, problem is that it lowers the screen brightness too low sometimes even when slide to max brightness. Is there a way to retain my brightness on normal mode when I am in power saving mode?

You can try lumos brightness manager but you will no longer be able to use the slider in the quick menu.
You may want to try the app "Night Screen" as well.

Good day every one
I have very weird issue I notice that when I´m in Power saving mode and make the screen brightness 100%, the screen start to flicker especially when the background is white, any one face the same issue?
thank you
The refresh rate of the screen is capped when power saving mode is enabled, hence the noticeable flickering. You can disable this feature in power saving mode settings.

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.
Hi, lately I was wondering if there is any difference in battery drain using normal or energy saving mode in brightness settings?
From the beginning I set screen energy saving on and slide the slider to line between 2nd and 3rd switch in pull down status bar. For some reason I need more brightness from time to time and I just turn off power saving so my screen gets extra ilumination which is perfect for me, but will this drain battery the same way as when I left power saving on and slide brightness slider to the right to make screen brighter?

Not much in everyday use.
It only works well in poorly lit environments and driving at night. I just set my brightness to 40% and leave it. I is bright enough for home/office and 100% for day driving.
Is there any way to set max brightness and lower screen resolution without going through power saving mode? Everything runs way smoother at FHD and really don't need it at max brightness at any point of time. I can customize them with medium power saving mode on but it also disables always on display and button lights which I want to keep.
Settings/display/screen resolution/pick whatever you want and reboot to get everything sized right. You can then adjust the brightness using the slider however you want.
Hello!
I bought a Base S22 a few weeks ago and so far, I'm loving this device. But one thing that bothers me is the adaptive brightness implementation from Samsung, because its not really "adaptive". Even on some cloudy days, the brightness gets maximized and I can not change it to a lower level, because I always get the "maximized for best viewing in bright light" notification. In all other scenarios the adaptive brightness algorithm works perfectly.
Is there a way to disable this kind of behavior?
My current solution for sunny days is a Bixby routine to quickly disable adaptive brightness when I'm longer outside to save some battery.
Use manual brightness control. Adaptive brightness never worked right... no surprise it still doesn't.
You can manually lower the brightness even in adaptive mode, and hopefully it will adapt to you too.
Another options are:
- Battery Saving mode has optional "10% lower brightness "
– Battery Guardian module of Good Lock (with dependencies!) may be configured to lower brightness when phone's temperature is high

That never works right either... The only draw back to full manual is finding the slider in bright light to jack it up. Auto is easier to temporarily use then. That said using the device in direct sunlight should be limited to seconds not minutes. Avoid whenever possible.
50% or less is best for battery and AMOLED conservation.
Using manual brightness control saves battery, display and your retinas

The problem is that the phone puts the brightness to the maximum and locks it there in bright light. Even when I use battery saving to lower the brightness by about 10%, it doesn't let me change the brightness to a lower level.
I don't know if this is just a thing on Samsung phones, because I heard that they use the adaptive brightness algorithm with KI from Google.

Which is why I use full manual control almost always. Invariably auto is many time too bright and has a tendency to "jump" around. Lol, human vision in much more adaptable and its nearly seamless.
The brightest stars burn the quickest... my plan is to have a display that's perfect for the life of my heavily used devices which likely will be in excess of 4+ years. Batteries are easy and cheap to replace, the displays aren't. Samsung's plan is to sell you a new phone every year.
