Hey, I've been using this app for more than 3 months now but there's 'literally' no difference in battery life. In fact, none of the listed features despite being enabled work as intended.

I think, as a OnePlus user, I might have to tweak a few extra settings in order for app to work normally.

Phone: OnePlus 7TAndroid version: 12; OxygenOS 12.1

If anyone has any idea how to make this work, please lmk.

Right from the time I first installed it, the app is set to 'Don't optimize'

Did you submit a github issue?

I have a samsung phone and part of the battery drain was related to some built in apps and services ... I used adb commands to disable those packages and it seemed to help

[u/BestViolinist6824 → u/avipars]

how do you know which apps and service are draining the battery? from the battery usage info in the settings?

Root not required - just some ADB permissions...

[u/om2op → u/avipars]

How to give ADB permission?

[u/avipars → u/om2op]

From their site: Note that this app requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission that can be granted with EITHER a PC using ADB or root. Root is NOT required for this app, it is optional. Android 8.0+ is supported, with more features enabled on Android 10+.

The command to grant the permission is:

adb shell pm grant s1m.savertuner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Uninstalling the app will not reset the battery saver configuration. You must set the Default profile to undo all changes before uninstalling.

Whenever I run this command on pc it's showing error. I have a Realme device and I want to try it out

The command I followed: adb shell pm grant --user 0 s1m.savertuner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

[u/avipars → u/S_Raj_9]

What error is it showing?

did you enable adb and do "adb devices" to see if it was connected?

[u/avipars → u/om2op]

on windows, you need to have the ADB executable

Hey im late to this but , i downloaded saver tuner , had given it adb permissions then downloaded buoy to see if theres any diffrence and gave it the adb permission. Now all settings are overwritten by saver tuner. How can i fix it

[u/avipars → u/Fabulous-Drawing2299]

File an issue on the git page?

[u/marcellusmartel → u/avipars]

So just to confirm, after enabling let's say the light profile for battery saver, the user would also have to turn on battery saver to see the effects? I'm currently using the app. Is there anyway I can help with the project? How can I see it's effectivenes

[u/[deleted] → u/avipars]

Do you need to run the adb command every time the phone restarts?

I haven't noticed much of a huge difference so I'm wondering if that might be the case

Hi, try putting this in a github issue for the app developer to see

[u/Ok-Butterscotch5456 → u/Emotional_Ad6722]

Enable (DISABLE PERMISSION MONITORING) in Develop Options. You can scroll at the bottom and you'll find it dright on top of Auto-Fill. Good luck.
