Power Saver app: Timed saver doesn't start

[#1]

I have activated the Timed Saver but it doesn't activate unless I start the Power Saver App. It kind of defeats its own purpose if you have to manually start the "scheduled" task...

Is this a known bug, will it work in ICS?

[#2]

Yesterday it worked but today it didn't I noticed the power saver app is "restarting". If I start the app it changes it state to running but then after a while I guess i crashes and is back to the "restarting" state again and I have to start the app again :smileyhappy:. So yeah broken app is broken, I hope they fix it in ICS.

you can always try to repair the software with SUS

make sure you backup everything before hand

I ran the update service and just to be sure I didn't restore any backup, haven't installed any apps. Just a clean phone with nothing on it.

Guess what:

that's so bizarre that it's not working

My settings, as usual when I started the app to take the screenshot the saver got activated...

I don't have any other suggestions sorry, perhaps an update will fix this issue

This is a known issue - not starting of power save app when scheduled on time. There was a topic on the forum a while ago.

The power save app starts correctly the first time when you schedule it. But the second time and further you need to activivate it manually. So when people test it, it seems to work. But the next time it doens't. Stopping the app works properly, even after the first time.

It is reported to the developers and hopefully fixed in the next release ( >.73 )

This app doesn't work correctly for me still on .75

Last night the app started at 23:00 [correct]  But at 9:30 this morning, it is still active, even though it should turn off at 7:30.  ONLY Timed saver is activated.  Definitely a bug with this application.

Another thing I've noticed is that the brightness when choosing power saver ON changes to really bright, and no matter where you put the slider in the options, it doesn't make any difference.  Rather opposite to what it's trying to achieve...no?
