Do you leave power saving mode on all the time?

I use the power saving mode all the time. I dont know whether it really saves your battery or not since I never turn it off and compare the difference.

I did early in the day for 2 months. I needed to on my GS2. It dims the screen as the battery gets lower and now I can survive a day without it. I am going to look in to newly downloaded GSAM's power saving when I can be bothered.

Leaving your power saving mode on all the time limits the cpu speed, dims the screen and turns off syncing. So it cripples your phone, I rather carry an extra battery. If you set it to auto at least it won't come on until the battery is at 25%.

Never. I want to use my phone to the max so nothing gets switched off apart from Bluetooth when I'm not using it.

When it falls below 5% or just whenever I need to conserve battery power

I am with you on this. What is the sense of paying top dollar for the latest and fastest and then put a 40 mph throttle on it. I get 14 to 16 hours per day with standard battery and full power settings and carry a spare battery for backup.

i leave mine on unless im downloading movies on the phone. they download faster if the power saver isnt on.

Again, I am with you on this.

It's useless IMO. It comes on at 20-25 percent? I might as well turn it on when it's about 25 percent rather than just leaving it on? I might have to give it a try and see how it is.

How long does your battery last throughout the day?

I never use it at all. My battery last all day even with heavy use, plus I have 6 batteries anyway. On rare occasions when I don't have enough juice I just pop a fresh one in. I don't get why with removable battery,, battery's are relatively cheap,, why people scrounge for power.

I only turn it on if I really need to save battery and know I won't be near a charger for awhile...

So majority of the time I never turn it on. I also use spare batteries which usually will eliminate the need to use this since I can swap.. Those rare times though I can't.

I also don't use the power saving mode , but not because I think its useless, but because I really haven't needed to. My phone's battery lasts long enough without the power saving mode enabled.

Nope. I do have the screen brightness at about 40% though. Just right for indoors. I crank it up outdoors in bright sunlight.
