Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that, but I guess the only thing that affects is power optimization functionality when you don't use an app for several days in a row. It sure seemed like they severely dumbed down the menus with Marshmallow. I know there used to be several options under the...

I hope so. I didn't actually care about Game performance when I downloaded Game Tuner (and then I think it came automatically with the Marshmallow update, had I not downloaded it). I only actually got it because I was hoping for the Game Tools functionality, which sounds amazing to me. But I...

Solution: I nuked Game Service with a "clear all data" and now my problem is solved. How ironic, trying to get a better gaming experience by using Game Tuner, and it ends up making it unusable.

Update: I realized it was only doing it with games... Like apps that Game Tuner had selected... I uninstalled Game Tuner... Didn't help.

Thanks for the reply. 😊

I set my screen time out to ten minutes and restarted the phone... I turned on Smart Stay and had a STARING CONTEST with it... No matter what I do, it starts dimming after ten seconds... About 5 percent per second for 10-15 seconds, best I can figure. I refuse to tap the screen every five...

This is my second post here with almost no replies... Does anyone actually use this forum?

It had been a while, so I decided to pull out my Moga and mess around with an Emulator today... After about ten seconds, I noticed my screen start to get dim. I tapped it and it came back on. Ten seconds later, same issue... I recently updated to Marshmallow and I'm not sure if this auto-dimming...

It wasn't until the Marshmallow update that I saw it say "Restricts background data", too, so to the very best of my knowledge, that's a new aspect of power saving mode. And power saving mode shouldn't be for emergencies only. That's what ultra power saving mode is for. In fact, they even took...

And I know power saving mode used to work differently. It never used to kill my floating apps, or audio files that were playing in the browser with the screen off. All it used to do was slow your phone down so it wasn't such a power hog. And I was fine with that, because even though I'm a power...

I did. For a year straight, as I said. It never affected my interactions with my phone. And how I use my phone shouldn't be compared to anyone else, but if you must know, I use it from 8 in the morning to 2 in the morning. I had to plug it in once per day when I could use power saving mode...

No one?

Ok, so I've been using Power Saving mode for over a year now, since the Note 4 first came out. I've pretty much never switched off power saving mode in that time, and I never noticed any problems. When the Note 5 came out, it became even more of a necessity. (I don't care what battery saving...
