But what is it for? How does this mode work? All the answers to your questions can be found here.
WHAT IS THE POWER SAVING MODE FOR?
This new mode will allow you to maximize your battery life. You will minimize your power consumption by using only the essential functions of your TREKKER-X3. Whether you are going out for a day or several days, you will always remain reachable by disabling the most power-hungry applications (social networks, GPS tracking, etc.).
HOW DO I ACTIVATE POWER SAVING MODE?
There are two ways to display Power Saving Mode:
- Drag the taskbar down and activate Power Saving Mode by clicking on the icon.
- Go to "Settings" on your TREKKER-X3, then "Battery," and click on "Power saving mode" in the "three dots" menu at the top right.
To access this mode, you must install the latest update. Go to the applications menu on your TREKKER-X3, click on the "Update" icon, and the download will start automatically.
How does Power Saving Mode work?
- When activated, your screen will display in shades of gray and brightness will be reduced by 50%.
- Your usual interface will then be replaced by a new, more streamlined one. Only 8 apps can be displayed on the main screen, 4 of which are customizable.
- You will only have access to basic applications:
- Phone
- SMS / MMS
- Internet. Here, your connection will switch from 4G+ to 2G, except when you open your browser, where connectivity will be 3G+. As soon as you open another application, the connection will switch back to 2G.
- SOS function
- You can add four apps (native or otherwise) by clicking on the "+" shortcut. Please note that you will not have access to the Play Store and therefore will not be able to add any new apps.
Only notifications will appear in the taskbar. All other icons will disappear.
Your smartphone's settings will only be accessible via the "three dots" in the top right corner and will also be restricted here:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- The various cellular networks (NFC, Bluetooth, etc.) and airplane mode
- The display
- Sounds and notifications
- Location
- Power Saving Mode will turn off various connections: Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and geolocation to minimize power consumption. However, you will still have access to your mobile data.
- To disable the mode, tap the "three dots" in the top right corner and select "Disable power saving mode."
How do I enable automatic activation of Power Saving Mode?
Go to "Settings" then "Battery." Select "Power saving mode." In the "Activate automatically" tab, you can then choose to activate the feature according to different thresholds (between 5 and 35% remaining battery).
When the phone reaches the selected threshold, it automatically switches to Power Saving Mode.
