Wondering if there's a way to have the Power Saver turn on when the charger is unplugged.
That might be something "Tasker" or a related app can do.

Has anyone noticed on either the Tilt or Kaiser that sometimes the device will not enter sleep mode?
It seems like when my Tilt running the stock AT&T Rom is on AC power, it will not enter sleep mode even though I have it set to sleep after 5 minutes on AC power. This is not while connected via USB to a PC running ActiveSync as that WILL keep the device alive, I'm talking about connected to the power brick.
After 5 minutes the screen will dim but not sleep. Running on battery power the timeout will usually happen. If it doesn't sleep the display just dims like it did above.
Settings for power are set to shut off after 5 minutes.
Any ideas?

I've noticed that mine does the same thing, just doesn't turn off when plugged into AC. I'm not aware of any "fix" for it persay, I just dismissed it as a minor bug of the OS. I would be curious if if anyone does have a solution to this, but it's not that big a deal IMO.
I noticed it also, but don't care. However, if it happens while on battery, try changing the time to something else and then back. My battery was draining QUICK and finally I realized that it wasn't turning off. Doing the above fixed it.
Thanks for the replies. Not that I feel better about it but at least others have the same issue. It's not a big deal if plugged, just wondering why.

I just got into the habit of manually hitting the power button and putting it to sleep before holstering it and right after pluging it in.
Same here, it would go to sleep on DC power but would stay awake on AC power.
Dont worry.
I'm sure it goes into sleep when you press the power button.
Ahhh, is that what that button is for?!
Im running Froyo, rooted Amon-RA 1.7. I use the Power Manager app set with profiles. USB and AC adapters brightness is set high when plugged in and battery is set low for obvious reasons. Now when I plug in the brightness goes up and it displays i.e. AC adapter profile or whatever... when I unplug, it displays "battery profile set" but the brightness is all the way up still. I have to manually press the power strip brightness button until it is off, then open power manager app and select battery mode and then it works fine. From my knowledge the app has not been updated but it is working in every other department.
This is the only bug I have noticed for me. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this.
Hiya,
I was poking around the forums a couple days ago and I stumbled across a hack that recalibrates the phone's battery STATUS, it doesn't do anything about helping battery life or anything.
Last night when I was about to go to sleep I had a battery life of 32%. I plugged in the phone, and immediately restarted it. When it booted up again, I kid you not, it had 63% battery life. I turned off the phone while plugged in to see the battery icon, the one that shows.the battery status while its charging with the phone off, and indeed it showed around 63,65%.
Anyone know where I could find this? I think its buried somewhere on the forums.

THIS WILL HELP RECALIBRATE YOUR BATTERY SO YOU DON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE
1.Charge till full when powered on
2.power off
3.charge till full again
3.boot into recovery(adb reboot recovery or Power off the phone and then hold the volume up + Volume down + the power key. When it goes black the 2nd time release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons.)
3.wipe stats by going into Clockworkmod recovery -> advanced -> wipe battery stats.
4.boot and continue to use as normal
Heres 1 from another board:
""So, you are having trouble with your battery seemingly draining too quickly, especially after having flashed many ROMs/Kernels/etc...
It is possible that the problem (or part of the problem) is not necessarily the phone using too much power. If this is the case for you, you should see some results from doing the following:
1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%
2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).
4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.
6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.
You should only need to use this sequence one time.
Hope this helps.-Joeybear23"""
Hi guys i have been having this issue for 2 days now. I have tried many solution in this forum but they won't work. Here's my issue.
1. I used up the battery. When i charge it, the screen with battery and lightning icon appear, then the charging meter. These 2 screens flashing were switching when i charged.
2. I let it charged until it reached maybe 30%. I turned it on then plugged the cable in, not charging. I had tried turning it off and charge, it was not charging too.
3. I had used up the battery again and plugged the wire, it was charging with those 2 screens flashing.
4. I let it charged for whole night, until this morning it said it had been fully charged to 100%. I turned it on, it still doesn't charge when turned on.
Someone please help me. I tried volume up and power button, volume down, both volume buttons and power button. Nothing work.
Please help me guys!
I use the Huawei power saving mode on my phone all the time, but I have to remember to disable it every now and again to allow account sync or remember to manually sync my accounts as power saver doesn't turn off when a charger is plugged in.
Is there any way to automate it so that when unplugged power saver is active but when charging it is disabled?
I'm thinking Tasker or something similar. Does anyone have any ideas on how to set this up?

Anyone?
I've managed to set up Tasker so it will enable/disable the native Android Oreo power saver mode on plug/unplug but this doesn't change the Huawei power saver that runs via phone manager (I think)
Also, enabling the native Android power saver turns the statusbar that ugly orange colour, so that was turned off immediately haha
