Power saving mode also disables 2 CPU cores
Not a stupid idea. You can get 5hours screen on time with power saving mode. If u switch off u get 3-3.5hours
i didn't know about the disabling cpu cores. that's a good idea, i'm all for it actually.
what i dislike is teh shutting off of the networks. i maintain that is stupid.
if there is indeed core disabling as you say, then it's rendered redundant because we can't customise our power saving mode. in other words, if we want to go low processing power mode, we have to have our networks shut off when the phone is asleep. it's forced on you.
it's a very annoying trait, when you don't get notifications for hours so you don't check your phone. then when you unlock, you find heaps of urgent msges waiting for you.
the whole point of push notifications is so that you don't have to waste time routinely checking your phone until it tells you to.
