I switched on extreme power saving mode because I only had 6 percent battery life left and didn't have access to an outlet. Now that I do have it charging, it wont let me disable it. When I click exit it just says Please Wait (been like that for about 20 minutes). Any idea how to fix this?
I am completely stock and unrooted
I've tried shutting down and restarting

Only way i can think of is to reboot to bootloader and factory reset. Plug it in your computer to see if you can save your pics and stuff. If you went to a sprint store that is what they would do.
To get into bootloader power off device hold volume down and the power button. Click hboot then factory reset. That should do it.

Thanks for the response. After about an hour of trying any and everything to get it working I was able to find a way into the power save settings and disable it from there. Not really sure what happened

I'm having the same issue, it's been over an hour stuck like this. I went in through the phone to settings down to the High Performance Mode and nothing. I tried Safe Mode, nothing. I went into the power settings through system settings and the extreme mode was grayed out as well. I can't do anything to get it working.
Any other ideas? HTC had no idea what I was talking about and told me to take it back to Sprint.

This thread saved my life! I hope this gets to HTC and this bug is fixed! It apparently has something to do with the extreme power saving mode replaceing your home screen, and not being able to find and set the defult home screen back be it blink feed, or google now launcher ect.
Get the lastest software update to permanently fix this problem
I also ran into this problem, and was able to fix it permanently by updating the HTC software with the latest Sprint update. I got there by getting into the general setting by back-spacing while in the phone setting (it won't work for other settings). Now when in EPSM window the exit button works as intended (albeit a bit slowly)

I turn the extreme power safe mode on every night when I go to bed, and disable it the next morning. I had been doing it without a problem for 2 months and this morning had this problem as well. And the funny thing is, BlinkFeed is not my home screen. Reboot, nothing. Forced reboot, nothing. Anyways, toggling the extreme power safe mode on and then off did the trick for me as well.

Okay so my power button just randomly stopped working after some random time. it doesnt work ANYWHERE. to lock my screen, to unlcok my screen, in recovery mode i cant press anything cuase it doesnt WORK. i no its a hardware issue becuase of this. i did google this but found nothing. what can i do to fix it.
i tried a battery pull and putting it back and going to recovery to factory reset but as soon as i put my battery in my phone starts up. i can enter recovery but the power button doesnt work so i cant press anything.
my warranty is over by a long shot ( had it since it released) so cant return it.
any help would be appreciated. all i need is a way to turn my phone on and off nothing about the recovery and stuff. but if you do find someting for it that would be even more amazing.
and has this happened to anyone else, just wondering is all if this is common or rare.
thnx in advance.
it has happened to many captivates. search 'captivate power button' on xda.
What ROM are you running on your phone?
Answer to that question has a lot to do with your next steps for software workaround.
One approach; you could read up on ways to clean the power button and see if that works. Or send it off to mobiletechvideos.com and he will fix it for a reasonable fee.

i am running Aocp 5 android 4.2.1
hve been running it for a few weeks now and no problem till now
Okay, start by seeing if you can clean the power button, that may fix it for now. Again, search 'captivate power button' to find some threads about ways to clean it.
With the ROM you are running, I believe you have a version of CWM that allows to use the Cappy's dedicated menu keys, menu, home, back and search, to navigate and select recovery items.
Assuming your power key is stuck on, remove the battery, hold the up and down volume buttons and reinsert the battery to get into recovery. This will allow you to test keys, wipe, and any other function in CWM.
With the phone on and fully booted into JB, go find volume rocker wake in the system setting options and make sure it is active. Hitting the up/down key will wake the screen when it sleeps. Add the sleep/lock toggle to your notification bar menu and you have a way to instantly lock the screen without the power key.
If you still have a bad power button stuck in on position, then you will need to take out the battery to turn it off.
Hope this helps.

This is happening because your power button is stuck in the on position. Did you try to clean it as suggested earlier.
BWolf56, I'm not aware of an app or ROM that completely prevents power up on insertion of battery when the power button is stuck on. If there is such an app, I'd like to hear about it. I think maybe the power switch goes to the broadcom power management chip, so I don't understand how the app could work unless the phone never came on at all. SOD symptoms would be the result.

I had a very similar problem with my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint S2) - my phone would randomly reboot, and it kept getting worse and worse. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. Eventually, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the switch you'll need.
(They don't include the skills needed to solder it in place. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron and a steady hand. Do you have a friend who's good at soldering?)

well thanks for the reply, but i dont need it anymore. my friend conveniently had a GNex (old) and gave it to me as a present. so i dont use my captivate that much anymore.

Phone HTC Vivid
The battery died last week and every since then the screen is so dim I can barely see it. It will charge and hold a charge all day, everything else works fine, vibration works, I just cant see the screen unless in a dark room.
Never done anything to alter software. I did replace the LCD screen, digitizer and motherboard about 2 months ago. All has worked fine until the battery died.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes that was the first thing I looked at. I really think it is a software issue since the phone works perfectly otherwise. Vibrations, calls, text, browser, apps, etc everything works. I would like to try doing a hard reset to return to factory settings to see if perhaps if it is a software issue this might correct it.
I don't know how to do this on an HTC so any help is appreciated.

You can boot into HBoot by completely turning off your phone holding the down volume button the pressing power at the same time then factory reset there.

Do you change a new pin? sometime, other pin can make your phone crazy. 1 month ago, my phone has the same it
I turned on the new extreme power saver mode when my battery was low, which gives you a limited home screen. If I try to exit it, it just hangs at "Please wait...". There is no way for me to get back to my regular home screen, apps, setup, etc. I can launch the browser from my lock screen, but I do not have access to the pulldown shade. I've tried soft and hard rebooting the phone. I'm fully stock s-on.
Anyone else have trouble with this? Any way for me to get back to a normal working phone?
I contacted HTC support, they said there may be apps that interfere with the extreme power saver mode. I had to factory reset the phone.
Hopefully they figure out the issues.
Here's how I got out of it. I went into kid mode by pressing the power button. Then I rebooted into safe mode. Then I deactivated it and rebooted. It happened a few days ago. Play around with turning it on and off if it doesn't work! Never touching that mode for a while!

I had the exact same issue the other day, scared me to death!
I managed to get into recovery mode with the power and volume up while charging cable inserted and selected reboot device from the menu after doing the button press to bring it up
I had the same problem the day I've had updated the phone to Pie.
It wouldn't react to any actions for about 10 minutes, but successfully restarted after.
It seems like the System Ui stopped working somehow. Try force rebooting.
Hello guys! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Please, any ideas how to get unstuck from power saving mode?
I have the 10 pro, 2213, OxygenOs 13 and I was short on battery when I decided to activate the power saving mode.
Now, my phone wont get out from this powersaving mode even though it is charged , plugged in the ac adapter or after rebooting and shutting it down.
On my notification panel, I only have a few power toggles that cannot go in the settings menu if long pressed.
There is no notification message to disable power saving mode. I'm fully charged and still the power saving mode is on.
Knock on is not working and multitask button isn't as well. Home button sometimes work and sometimes does not. I really wish to get out of this powersaving mode as I had my phone looking up only for 3G network to maximize battery plus the other annoyances mentioned....
I recorded a video to show this behaviour.
Any Ideas? thank you all!

Hi I noticed you just swiped down don't know if you're aware you can swipe down further and the settings icon should appear. Try that I don't own a Oneplus 10 Pro well I haven't received it yet should arrive tomorrow but I keep seeing problems with this phone I'm considering on returning it. But I think you can swipe down further at least that's what I can do on Oneplus 7T Pro. Hopefully this may help you.

HI, mate. Well, I cannot swipe further down to expand the notification panel. Anyway, the settings icon should appear at the top right portion even if you don't swipe twice.. :/

I'm sorry to say, but I cannot recommend this phone. If you can get a s22u or pixel for a similar price, I'd definitely go for it. I have a long list of complaints and suggestions about software on this device.. I previously had the s10+ for a happy 3 years

Press and hold the power button.
Tap and hold the "Power off" option.
Normally a new popup menu should appear on your screen that asks you to “Reboot to safe mode”. Answer “OK” at this point and let your phone reboot in Safe Mode.

Update!
I was able to boot on safe mode. Then, my phone presented me correctly the Super Power Saving Screen and I was able to disable it!
Safe mode steps on OOS13:
Once your device has been powered off, long press the power button to turn it back on and wait till you see the device manufacturer or the Android logo.
Once you see the logo, press and hold the volume down button until your device reboots.
Release the power button once your device has rebooted and you will now be entered into the safe mode.

What happened:
Saturday 24th I activated the power saving mode when I was 5%. The phone died and later when I turned it on, it was on SUPER POWER SAVING MODE without being on the "Super power saving launcher". Instead, somehow it was on my NOVA LAUNCHER while being on super power saving mode, as shown on the video...... So I was not able to disable it or access any configuration. My phone was on Do not disturb, good night mode, 3G network locked...
I tried booting to safe mode, but instead I got to a Recovery screen written in chinese ( isn't this phone supposed to be global or European? model 2213) a few times.
This bug was seriously weird and should be investigated by oneplus. Such thing cannot happen!
