so is this preferable like to just activate the power saving all the time?
If you don't mind a very dim screen and the lights going out quickly then you can use it all the time.
It only really makes a difference whilst using your phone. It doesn't save any power if your phone is sat there unused on standby.
It doesn't reduce the performance of the phone or effect programs.

  • Nokia C7 - POWER saving SCHEDULE for night period

    Hello NOKIA!
    I have a suggestion  for  "the biggest (and most awaited!) update ".... PR  2.0  for  C7  &  N8.
    We know that all phones with touch screen are big consumers of power and the battery life greatly decreases.
    I do not use the phone at night.
    It can be very useful to set Power Saving to start automatically at night, for example at 23.00 and was to expire at 7.00 (between 23.00 - 7.00).
    Thanks!
    PS: please Nokia, expected answers even if we do not receive major updates do not understand why we C7 clients, we have to wait nearly nine months for PR 2.0 which is already on  Astound  ... in nine months a child is born ....

  • Nokia 7370 Power Saving Problems

    Hi Everyone
    I just got my nokia 7370 (the gold swivel one from the l'amour collection) and I'm having a minor problem.
    When the phone is inactive it isn't displaying the date and time on a black screen as it should in power saving mode.
    Power saving mode is switched on in settings but it isn't working.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    well my operator (Videotron) here in Canada, i can only connect via 3G for calling therefore i sort of need 3G to make and receive calls, otherwise it's like being in Offline mode!
    so i can understand this person's issue.
    As i have the same problem.
    Basicly whenever my phone activates Powersaving, it literally disconnects me from the network (no longer able to make and receive calls)
    I am using a Nokia E7

  • Nokia N8: Possible Power Saving Mode Bug

    Dear All, 
    For the past week, I've change the way I use my Nokia N8. I decided to set it up in power saving mode during the evening. There is no point for it to be on 3.5G if nobody is using it. Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a problem. At the moment, my N8 is using a pay as you go sim card from O2 and this card is in the phone 24/7. 
    When I activate power saving mode, the phone re-registers with the network and the maximum speed it will have will be EDGE. In the morning, when I take my phone I disable power saving mode and the phone re-registers again with the network. 
    Having said that, on multiple ocassions, my phone showed some worrying symptoms. For example, a few das ago, when I disabled power saving mode, the phone did not show the 3.5G icon and I could not make any phone calls. The coverage was up and down. You might say that, it did not show 3.5G because you had no 3.5G you idiot. That is not true, where I live, there is 3.5G everywhere.
    I was shocked that I could not make any phone calls. After a few reboots and taking SIM card out, I managed to get the phone in working order. 
    Today, the same thing happened. I managed to fix it just a few moments ago. It seems that the power saving mode option has an implementation problem or O2 does not like the way the N8 registers to the network when you enable and disable the said feature.  Has anyone encountered this???

    @m80116, this may well be a solution, but could be problematic if in a weak reception area where only Edge is available ? You could lose data connection completely ! I tend to use Dual mode, and generally don't have an issue, but certainly for anyone living and working in a very strong 3 or 3.5G area it may work very well, wish I had the luxury of being able to use 3G Only

  • Nokia N8 Screen Saver & Power-Saving Mode

    Few issues after 24hrs of N8 usage...
    1) My Screen Saver stopped working... screen stays lit indefinitely, even when locked... after multiple restarts and lots of frustration it came back, but this issue has already happened twice - surely a bug
    2) Power-Saving mode doesn't really make sense unless it is customisable... I am on a 3G only network, power-saving enables GSM-only... see the flaw?
    Appreciate your feedback,
    Mike

    Regarding ISSUE #1 (the screensaver failure), I have a PERFECT solution!!!
    However, I am not sure if this will work for you, because I have SPB Mobile Shell, but it is worth a try!
    1) Make sure you have the widget for the MUSIC PLAYER on one of your main operating page.
    2) Turn OFF your phone regularly. (NO NEED to hard rest by hold over 8 secs)
    3) Turn ON your phone.
    4) Once the phone loaded up, immediate play any song through your music player. (Need to be done before your phone auto-locks)
    5) Lock your phone with your side-lock button; your screensaver should come back.
    Both my g/f & I owns a Nokia N8, and we both experienced the screensaver failure problem. My N8 was easy to fix by many people's solution of just simply reset, and it automatically fixed the problem. But My g/f's N8 was stubborn, and wouldn't turn the screensaver back on by this simple reset method. Later I discovered the above method, and it worked every time! I think somehow the music player is triggering the screensaver and forces it to stay on.
    Well, although we somehow surpass this  issue, but Nokia still need to fix this problem. Nokia N8 is a great phone, it shouldn't have such a simple mistake in it. This makes the perfect phone imperfect!!! Anyway, please let me know if this method works for you guys, thanks.

  • N96 gps "power saving"

    Ok, after updating my n96 to 12.043, I've noticed that the gps seems to go inactive, whenever the application that uses the gps loses focus - very annoying when trying to use applications like sports tracker!
    Does anyone know if this is an intended feature, a setting that can be changed (I've looked, but found nothing) or a bug?
    I've tried it in both power saving and none power saving mode and it seems to have the same effect! Makes the sports tracker pretty much useless as it is then unable to recover and regain the gps position

    The main issue I have when using Sports Tracker is where to place the phone without it losing signal from the satellites. The GPS receiver in the phone is low powered and so does not need much of an excuse to lose the signal from the satellites.
    For optimum reception, the phone should preferable be uncovered. It normally works from an external pocket but internal pockets are difficult. In wet conditions I would normally use it with my external bluetooth GPS receiver to allow me to keep my phone dry and snug in an internal pocket. A waterproof pouch is also a good idea.

  • Nokia n96 lighting up

    whilst my nokia n96 is not in use, and all aplications are closed. the light inside the square button on the front is lighting up every 2-3 seconds, is this normal?

    It's most likely not the reason for fast battery drain as it uses less energy than the screen displaying the date/time as it did in previous models.
    Read through the power saving tips in the manual and see if you've left something switched on that you shouldn't.
    Obviously "playing" with your phone a lot as many of us do when we get a new one will drain the battery fast. This is because the back light is on and that uses quite a bit of power.
    The battery life is settling down nicely on mine after a three full charge/discharge cycles. It's certainly better than the original N95-1.

  • E72 "Activate power saving". Consequences????

     I want to know DETAILS what happens when I push ON/OFF button and select "Activate power saving".
    What are the negative effects of this?
    Noise cancellation still works or NOT?
    Does GPS work?
    What else???
    "The Nokia E72 features active noise cancellation and navigation as well as a digital compass."
    The latest USER GUIDE says NOTHING ABOUT THIS! I used Ctrl-F to find "power saving". Basically nothing is said what happens in power saving mode!!!!
    Languages: English, Finnish

    it disables all UI effects (Theme transitions, etc.),
    lowers display brightness to minimum. Brightness option in display settings is disabled.
    switches the processor to a more power efficient mode (performance is noticeably lower)
    instantly turns off connections when they aren't needed (e.g. WLAN connection gets disabled instantly after you open a web page, if you want to open another one then the device connects and then quickly disconnects again). As a result, push mail gets disabled. You will have to manually sync mails as long as power save mode is enabled.
    Noise cancellation still works. GPS still works - in the same way as with the WLAN connection described above

  • Nokia 5130 mobile saved messages are not visble no...

    Nokia 5130 mobile saved messages are not visble not but still show in memory details, my mobile just restrated and with i turn back it on my saved messsages were not visible please help on that

    Try to check the saved messages in the sim card. You may also try a power cycle by turning the phone off, removing the battery and pressing the power button without the battery for 8-10 seconds. You can also do a soft reset by pressing Menu > Settings > Rest. factory sett. > Restore settings only so that it will bring back the phone to its original state. 

  • N8: Power saving - Visibla or not visible

    In the power saving settings of my N8 there is the choice  among "Visible" and "Not Visible" related to the request to switch to power saving mode when battery low. Someone knows the difference? I'd prefer the N8 to switch automatically in power saving when battery low without asking, so, is the "not visible " option to allow this?

    Deactivate the Power Saver Mode via the power key is not working as well. The phone shows that the POWER SAVING MODE DEACTIVATED but the settings still don't change to normal. So far, this was the biggest problem with my N8. I really hope that the upcoming firmware of the N8 will address this issue.

  • Cant get N8 off of power saving mode,

    Hey all I can't get my N9 off power saving mode? Also when i  try to forward mail says check connection setting? Any help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Reset is a last resort, removing access points and re-establishing them usually works, if not a reset is quicker than resorting to Nokia Care, but if you do it ONLY backup contacts, Calendar and Notes, you can also sync your messages with Ovi suite, but a full backup and restore will not only take forever, but if you do a full restore you can restore the thing that's causing the issue, so do everything manually apart from the basics. Dial *#7370# followed by 12345 and away you go, if you still have the issue you need the phone to be looked at under warranty 
    Good Luck

  • N8 - Power Saving Mode

    Hi,
    I got a bit problem here. My N8 will automatically activate the POWER SAVING MODE once the phone battery goes low. I've set the power saver mode query to "ON" so that the phone will ask wether to activate the power saving mode or not. When I choose "NO" the phone will automatically turn the power saving mode in the background without displaying an icon (the battery icon will appears as a "moon"). The big clock screen saver is set to NONE, the theme effects switch to "OFF" and the light time out will change from 30 seconds (default) to only 5 seconds.
    Any idea or help? ThanX!

  • Using both power saving mode and offline mode caus...

    So I am having a very strange problem. I have been using the Situations App (formerly Nokia Situations) to automatically put my phone into offline mode, and power saving mode over night. 9pm to 6:30am.
    Recently the phone as started refusing to leave the offline mode in the morning. Even if I try to change the profile manually it says "Unable to change profile". The only way I can get out of offline mode is to reboot.
    I uninstalled Situations, and manually put the phone into offline mode and power saving mode. By the morning I had the same issue, stuck in offline mode until reboot. So it's not the App causing the problem. I've tried a soft reset, same problem still.
    I also noticed that over-night (from fully charged before 9pm) to 6:30am I used about 70% of my charge. (A combination of power saving mode and offline mode is killing my battery!)
    I would have to go to work and immediately put my phone on charge! I.e.. 12 hours of offline + power save has drained my battery almost completely.
    Last night I decided to use the Situations App to put the phone into offline mode, BUT NOT activate power save mode.
    This morning the phone had virtually full charge and it had no problem returning to online mode. So it's ONLY if I use BOTH power-save and offline. (Tonight I will try using power-saving mode and NOT offline mode to see if it's only the power-saving mode causing the issue!)
    If I manually enter offline+power-save mode, and then try to return to on-line/non-power-save mode, relatively quickly, i.e.. Not over-night, everything is fine. It's only over night the problems start!
    Any help?

    PS. I also have the problem where using HSPA+ causes my phone to drop from the network and stop being able to receive/make phone calls. But disabling HSPA+ works around this for now, I think this problem is unrelated however.

    I have a similar problem. My 808 PureView loses 70% of its charge overnight if I leave it in normal profile without power-saving. To deal with this issue, I started using the situations app to put the phone in power saving mode overnight. That solved the problem (although I never put my phone to offline mode). This is a weird problem because throughout the day my phone doesn't use 70% of charge, but it does overnight while doing nothing!
    I have also experienced the second problem, losing cellular and internet connection, on my 808. I have started a thread to deal with this issue.

    I believe it is a firmware bug that causes this problem.
