Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode

galaxy-s5-ultra-power-saving-mode-settingPower Saving Mode is not new, but Galaxy S5 does a bit more than others

Power saving mode can be found in almost all Android devices. It is not new.  Most Android users know that one enabled, CPU tends to run slower and the number of active background process may be limited.

In other words, power saving mode in existing Android devices usually slightly degrade the performance of the device to gain longer battery life.

In Galaxy S5, in addition to such normal (or traditional methods), Samsung did more compared to other Android vendors.  According to this report, and this press release,  Samsung partnered with Lucidlogix to optimize the battery life optimization by integrating Lucidlogix’s PowerXtend Software in Galaxy S5.

It is claimed that the said software can boosts 35% more play time without sacrificing the performance (user experience).

Samsung did not disclose how the software is integrated in Galaxy S5. But in power saving mode, such software must play an important role. Otherwise, the mere 2800mAh battery is hard to  provide 12-hour video playback or 10-hour web browsing.

Another interesting  power saving feature is that you can change the screen from color to grayscale when normal power saving mode is enabled. Of course, you can switch them at any time.

Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode gives you a black-and-white S5

The most impressive and interesting power saving feature in Galaxy S5 is the totally new Galaxy S5 ultra power saving mode.

Samsung claims that Galaxy S5 ultra power saving mode can provide up to 24 hours of stand-by with 10% battery.  Don’t confuse this 24-hour standby time with the standby in specifications. This 24 hours standby means you can turn on all network connections, and receiving all notifications.  While in the hardware specification sheet, the 390-hour standby means voice only.

With the Galaxy S5 ultra power saving mode on, S5’s display will show only black and white colors and offer access to a certain set of applications. The ultra power saving mode also shuts down all unnecessary features in your S5.

No other mainstream smartphones provide this feature yet. Some users definitely will find this feature is a life-saver.

How does Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode save battery?

In addition to measures in power saving mode, Galaxy S5 ultra power saving mode saves additional battery in the following ways:

  • Change the screen from color to grayscale;
  • Limiting the number of usable applications;
  • Turning off mobile data when screen is off;
  • Turning off WiFi and Bluetooth

Can I customize the apps available for  Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode?

In ultra power saving mode, you’ll have access to some basic apps, like the ability to send text messages, make phone calls, and browse the web with Samsung’s browser.

You can add some other apps available when your Galaxy S5 is in ultra power saving mode. Of course, the apps are limited to some stock apps only. This includes, Phone, Messaging, Internet, Calculator, Google+, ChatON, Memo, Voice recorder and Clock.

So, the answer is yes, but limited to some stock apps for basic functionalities.

Very likely, through future update, Samsung will allow more apps in ultra power saving mode.

      Bluetooth will be turned off. But I’m not sure whether you can manually enable it once ultra power saving mode is activated. We will try it once we get the handset in April.

      Currently, no.

      Normally, the ultra power saving is needed when the battery level is low but you are far from charger. In the night, if it is not in use the battery drain is negligible, normally less than 5% per night.

    Are you able to change the apps you’ve selected for Ultra Power Saving mode? I picked them when I got it and they’re not really the ones I’d need most but can’t work out how to change them (if it’s possible).

      You can only select apps from the list. This list is still very limited and you cannot add your own apps.

          Vicki — You probably have figured this out by now, but yes, it is possible to “change one or more of those for others on this list.” Tap the menu (three little buttons to the right of “Ultra Power Saving Mode” You should get three choices, the middle of which is “Remove.” Select “Remove, select the apps you wish to do away with, and you will be able to put different ones in the newly opened slots.

      No, it is a system level app. Once the ultra power saving mode is enabled, the screen will turn to black and white, only select apps can run, mobile data connection is disabled once screen is locked……

      Anyway, we will post a guide on this soon.

        I don’t think there is a widget for it. You can swipe down from the status bar with two fingers to see the buttons. Of course, you can move the button into the first 8 so that you can access it even quicker (swipe down from status bar with one finger to get the button).

      No, frequent power on/off is also not good for the device.

      The battery drain should normally be lower than 2-4% per night if you turn off WiFi and mobile data.

      If you want to avoid disturbance, you can enable blocking mode.

      You can do a comparison without enabling ultra power saving mode.

      The new battery may require a few charging cycles to get accurate reading.

    Are there any auto power saving settings other than what I enable? It seems like my phone is shutting off WiFi lately and I don’t know why. My assumption was power saving settings but I can’t find anything. What I mean is, I don’t want my phone going into *any* power savings mode unless I tell it to.

      Ultra power saving mode should not harm your S5. But if you know your battery is enough before you can access a charger, it is not necessary to turn it on. Some apps will not be accessed when in ultra power saving mode.

      Ultra power saving mode is not for day to day usage. Actually, you should avoid using apps. Frequently opening and closing apps actually is against the purpose of ultra power saving mode. It also shorten the battery time.

      Normal battery saving mode is usually sufficient for most users.

      The options for ultra power saving mode in s5 are still limited. Samsung didn’t allow much customization. This is Samsung’ first shot of this feature. Maybe in future versions, more options are available.

      But always remember, once ultra power saving is enabled, frequently using apps actually may consume more battery than the same operation in normal mode.

      Samsung did mention more apps will be allowed. But it’s not clear how they make decisions on the allowed apps.

      But please note, ultra part saving mode is NOT designed for daily use. It’s a kind of emergency function. Using apps frequently actually may drain more battery than the similar activities in normal mode.

      When you S5 is in ultra power saving mode, you have different ways to easily exit the ultra power saving mode
      1. swipe down from the top of the screen, in the notification panel, you can see the notification ” Disable Ultra power saving mode”. tap it to exit the mode.
      2. In the main screen, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots on top tight, below the status bar), then you can find 2 items: Disable ultra power saving mode, and Settings.
      3. Pree and hold the Recents button (left to Home button), you will get the similar menu as explained in 2.

      Can you exit the ultra power saving mode now?

    Our original battery for our S5 (bought Sep 2014) seemed to be failing and we were having problems with MMS being viewed in our texts. We had not accepted downloads in a while and did so; there were quite a few. That solved the MMS problem, but in Ultra Power Savings the days remaining showed 2.8 @100% charge vs the 12 or so we used to get. So, new battery. It has been two days now and the most days remaining in Ultra Power Savings remains at 2.8. Also, to us, it seems to go lower quicker than it did in the past. We have turned off Wi-Fi and many other applications and seems to not make a difference. We can only guess why this is: Downloads caused? Something is starting to fail with the phone? Could you please offer your best analysis of this problem. Thank you.

      For MMS downloading issues, it is very likely due to message centre settings, not the battery. Your phone company can send you the correct settings through a message.

      For ultra power saving mode, the battery life will not be good if some apps do not exit gracefully. You may try to reboot the phone.

      BTW, why do you use ultra power saving mode daily? It is designed for emergent use, and many features will not work. If you cannot charge the battery, you can always get a spare battery for S5.
