Power saving mode is designed to help you extend your Tecno Pova Slim 5G’s battery life by reducing background activity, lowering performance, and limiting visual effects. If it is not working as expected, your phone may drain battery faster than usual or fail to activate the mode properly. Luckily, there are several ways to fix this issue.
Why Power Saving Mode Might Not Be Working on Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G
- Power saving mode is turned off or not configured correctly.
- A software bug or outdated system version is interfering with the feature.
- Third-party apps are overriding system battery optimizations.
- Battery settings or restrictions are disabled.
- Temporary glitches with the system cache or background services.
Enable Power Saving Mode Manually.
If your device is not entering power saving mode automatically, you can turn it on yourself. This ensures the feature is active when you need to conserve battery.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving, and then toggle the switch on.
If the toggle is already enabled but does not work, switch it off for a few seconds, and then turn it back on again.
Check Background Usage Settings.
Some apps may continue to run in the background even when power saving mode is on. Adjusting background usage settings ensures apps follow the restrictions.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Select an app, and then tap Battery usage. Choose Restricted to limit its background activity.
Apply this setting to apps that consume a lot of power, such as social media or streaming apps.
Update Your Phone’s Software.
Outdated software can cause issues with power saving features. Installing the latest update often fixes these problems.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap Software Update, and then tap Check for updates.
If an update is available, follow the prompts to install it. After updating, test power saving mode again.
Restart Your Device.
A simple restart can clear temporary glitches that may prevent power saving mode from working properly. Restarting refreshes system processes without deleting your data.
- Press and hold the Power key and Volume Down key at the same time.
- Tap Restart when the power menu appears.
Wait for your phone to fully boot, then try enabling power saving mode again.
Reset Battery Settings.
If nothing else works, resetting battery settings can help remove misconfigured options and restore default power-saving behavior.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap Reset options, and then tap Reset app preferences.
This will not delete your personal data, but it resets app permissions and battery optimizations to their default state.
Power saving mode on the Tecno Pova Slim 5G should work reliably once you follow these steps. Most issues are caused by either outdated software, app restrictions, or temporary glitches, and all of these can be resolved with the solutions above.
