I have tried to root and use UPSM manager to add app to power saving mode. When I choose apps and click save, it said saved successfully but when I restart and go into power saving mode, I cannot see all what I have chosen, still the limited default apps shown and I still have to choose again which app I want to use and I cannot add more than what they allow there. (If you want to add more, you will have to remove the current in the list and get space for new one )
Is there any other solution that works ? Thank you !
Maybe bixby routines?
how will I add app in bixby routines and will that still work in Maximum Power Saving mode in note 10+ ?
I don't let bixby run, lol read it's eula.
Just know from what I see here that's it's pretty capable.
There's also the Macrodroid app, it may be able to do that.
You know that going into max power saving mode really screws up the display settings when you come out of it? It does on my version, that glitch may have been corrected.
I checked Macrodroid and looks like it is an app for automation. Still cant figure out how that will be able to serve my purpose to add more app in power saving mode ?
(If power saving mode could help me to save battery while I still can use all the most frequent apps I need, then I don't bother coming out of it, and so the display etc.)
You want a custom app list for the power saving mode.
Both Bixby and Macroandriod are for setting up routines. Both use a fair amount of battery.
Beyond that the other issue may be dependencies that the apps you want to run need apks that are deliberately shutdown to conserve power in the maximum power savings mode.
That's one reason it can save power so well.
Specifically what app(s) do you want to run?
I want at least these app:
- Whatsapp
- Messenger
- Covid tracing app (for entrance)
- Bus timing
- Outlook
- Camera
- Home camera
- And if possible: Spotify, and one or 2 apps more also for working.

It's not happening is my opinion. You got a bunch of apps that are constantly polling the internet.
I won't even let WhatsApp on my devices. As for Covid, I'm in Texas and we're already over that junk.
Maximum power savings mode means minimum functionality. A major reason you're chewing up so much power are the social apps running in the background. I have none on my phone; if I can't use a site through the browser, I won't use it.
FB, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc are all data miners and not to be trusted.
My SOT ranges from 7-13%@hr in Optimized power setting. >.5%@hr at night with tap on AOD with phone/internet connected on my N10+'s.
These devices are also heavily optimized so it's more than just not having the social media apps.
I tried power saving with all these apps mentioned above (when I need some app I just use edit button then edit and remove one app to get space for other app in power saving mode) and I have my phone lasting from 8am to mid night. So good enough for me I believe. Now I only need a way that I do not need to remove, add them
Any body has a solution?

Some functions in your smartphone consume more battery power than others. Here are a few tips on how to reduce your smartphone’s battery consumption:
1- Lower the screen brightness level and set a shorter screen timeout.
2- Turn off functions when you’re not using them, for example, Bluetooth™, Wi-Fi®, and GPS.
3- Turn off automatic sync of email, calendar, contacts, and other applications. Instead, manually update these services when you need them.
4-Some applications consume more battery power than others. For example, games, the video player, and web browsers.
5-Live wallpapers consume more energy. Switch to a static wallpaper and start saving battery power.
6- Check the signal strength. In areas with poor or no network coverage, your smartphone frequently scans for a network connection, and this consumes battery power. Switch to Airplane mode if you know that you won’t be near a mobile network for a while.
7- Some downloaded applications can drain the battery with processes running in the background. If you’ve installed applications that you no longer use, it’s better to uninstall them.
8- Some widgets use a lot of data traffic and therefore use a lot of battery. You can either uninstall or stop the widget or application to prevent it from draining the battery.
[Extended Standby Mode]
Extended Standby mode helps you save battery power by pausing your activities until you start using your smartphone again. When you haven’t used your smartphone for 15 minutes, Extended Standby mode starts saving power. When you start using the device again, all functionality automatically returns to normal.
This is how Extended Standby mode affects your smartphone:
- Most apps go to sleep, and their Wi-Fi® and data connections are temporarily turned off.
- Apps stop syncing and notifications don’t show.
- The battery light only lights up to warn of a low battery.
- Data streaming is not affected, for example, streamed music continues to play.
- You will still receive calls and text and multimedia messages.
- You’ll receive notifications from the Sony™ calendar and alarm signals.
-The music or Walkman player and FM radio will work normally.
- Downloads and uploads in progress won’t stop until they are completed.
Extended Standby mode is activated in Settings > Power management.
Enjoy your phone.

correct me if i'm wrong, but Greenify is only for rooted devices right? cause i dont intend to root my ZL,
nope with the new ver it does work with unrooted devices
Got my oneplus yesterday finally after 11 days from ordering.
One thing that is annoying me is on my old phone which was a htc one m7 I use to be able to hold down the back button to kill the app. This means it wouldn't even show on my recent apps menu
On 5t I went into the button setting but there is no option to kill an app while holding the back button.
Is there another way ?
I use gravity box but it requires Xposed
Why would you want to kill apps? Killing apps means if you want to re launch the app it will start from beginning costing you extra cpu power. Anyway if you don't want to root you can control your background activity on the developer settings

For me, it's just nice to have when an app is misbehaving. It's quicker than going into the app info and force stopping it from there. Sometimes my WhatsApp gets disconnected from WhatsApp web on my laptop; a force close of the app tends to fix the issue, and having a long press shortcut seems to be the quickest/most efficient way to do so
I've been trying to get a water reminder app to help me drink more.
I have done the manual app control thing but the hourly notification part stops after an hour or so no matter which app I use.
It feels like another power saving thing is operating in the background and I can't quite figure it out.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks
Joe
When even manage manually isn't enough, I disable battery optimization for the app in settings - apps - 3 dots menu - special access
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.
Hi there,
It looks like my phone is not "working" when in idle. For example, I need to open my Gmail app to update my email. When I get a sound notification for a supposedly new email, it's usually a 1 or 2 hours email.
Is there a setting I changed by mistake? Do you guys encounter this issue?
Thx guys
MIUI has quite aggressive doze by default, but it doesn't impact Gmail for me. Some apps might need toggling these settings:
1. enable autostart in app info
2. lock app in memory in recents screen
3. disable battery optimization in app info
But I would suspect that you have enabled Battery saver function - make sure that it's off (search for it in system settings).
Hi,
Gmail app is not listed in the menu where I can adjust the way the battery acts with it
And no, my battery saver is not activated
Still digging... if I don't reply back in several days, I may be completely lost into my hole
