I was just wondering that is the difference between the two. The description seems to be the same in both but they are located in 2 difference places. Sleep Mode under Power in settings and Data Connection under Power Saver. If both are turned on is there any conflict or whatnot?

The power saver options turns off your data connection as soon as the screen is off then reconnects it when the screen is on. The one under power waits until your phone has been inactive for a while (6+ hours in my experience) and turns then turns the connection off. They won't conflict because enabling the one under power saver will naturally make the other one redundant.

Oh great! Thanks for the explanation. Okay so let's say power saver turns off your data when your screen is off, what happens to messaging services like what's app, viber and Facebook chat? I won't be notified of any of these when the screen is turned off on power saver mode?

I've been noticing this problem with my vivid since I bought it 4 days ago. If I havent used it in a hour or so and I try to connect to any Internet site it fails with no connection.
The 4G indicator is on, but no curved lines showing activity. I assume it is in idle, but will not come out.
The workaround I am currently using is disable and re-enable 4G data.
Does this sound normal? Has anyone else noticed this? While searching I found a few related posts but most were from a few years ago.
Usage so far has been in San Jose (No LTE yet), signal shows a few bars, over (-100 db).
Try going to Settings - Power, and make sure power efficiency, power saver, and sleep mode boxes are unchecked. This should fix the issue but you may see a slight decrease in battery life.

Power Efficiency was already off
Power Saver was set to turn on at 10%
I just disabled sleep mode. That might have been it. Only time will tell.
Any idea what the default idle time is for sleep mode to be engaged? and what exactly happens in sleep mode?
With sleep mode enabled, network connections are disabled when the screen is off. I've noticed the network connections also don't appear to reconnect once you turn your screen back on for some reason unfortunately.

im using nik's trinity rom sensation xl 4.5 .. my wifi keeps going off after a while when i press the power button n the screen goes off .. its like it disconnects the wifi in standby mode :S
It's entirely possible that it does. Try another rom if it's a problem.

Have you checked your power options?
if you are on power saver mode (if the rom supports that), then every time your phone locks all network will be disconnected to save battery.

I'm using the 14_M radio right now with this rom. Been using this radio since yesterday morning and I haven't had the wifi drop or disconnect as of yet that I'm aware of. Might want to give it a try.
Check the advanced options in Wi-Fi menu of settings, maybe the Wi-Fi sleep policy settings are set to OFF whenever SLEEP/SCREEN OFF. Change it to ALWAYS ON, or NEVER WHEN CHARGING. Tends to drain the battery a lot more, if set to always on. I use wifi manager by Kostya Vasiliyev (available in the Google play store) to get fast WiFi lock-on after screen on/wake.

i checked that and it was set to 15 minutes after screen went off ...thanks alot !
Have had the phone for a week and loving it, but trying to get the most out of the battery life. Does anyone know when power saver mode activates? I've currently got it switched on (icon is always there) so does that mean when the icon is showing it is active? Or will it activate at a certain percent such as 30%, 15% etc?
Thanks!
Settings > Power > Power saver should give you those options, to set a critical percentage
I think default is like 30%
Can't seem to find anywhere in the settings where it says that

If you turn on power save it's on straight away and stays on till you turn it off
Makes sense, thanks!
Although I have seen it appear automatically before when it was around 25%

everytime when i charge my the phone, my wifi is turned off. I have to turn it back on, but it works fine. just wondering if there's a setting to leave it on.
Yeah it's in the advanced wifi settings. This is a setting that has been around on Android for a while.
check wifi control history, maybe there is some app that switches it off? Works fine on mine, are you using power saving mode?

i already checked the wifi always on in advanced wifi settings. there are no apps listed in wifi control history. and no on power saving mode.
any other suggestions? im pretty sure it's a setting related problem, but all the setting mentioned I checked. the always wifi is on, nothing in wifi control history
I think the power saver mode on my p10 is quite not working now but for past coupke of days its fine because as far as i know whenever i on the power saver mode the brightness would go slight dim and theres an indicator on the notification but right now within minutes of usage the brightness would go back to normal like as if the power mode was turned off, thats why every now and then i would go to settings and turn on off and on the power saver mode. Howwould i know if the power saver mode is turned on and working? Do i need to reset my phone? , clear cache? Thanks
