If your vivo S50 battery keeps draining fast even after turning on Power Saving mode, something is clearly not working as expected. You may notice that background apps still run, brightness does not reduce, or performance feels unchanged. In most cases, this happens because of conflicting settings, aggressive app permissions, or system glitches that prevent the feature from activating properly.
Let’s go step by step and fix it.
Why Your vivo S50 Power Saving Mode Is Not Working
- Power Saving mode is not fully enabled.
- Background apps are set to ignore battery restrictions.
- Ultra Game Mode or performance settings are overriding battery limits.
- System optimization settings are disabled.
- Temporary software bugs affecting battery management.
Make Sure Power Saving Mode Is Properly Enabled
Sometimes the feature looks enabled, but certain options inside it are not fully activated. Verifying the settings ensures the mode is actually applying restrictions.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving mode, and then toggle it on.
- Review the options inside, and make sure background activity limits are enabled.
Lock your phone for a few minutes and observe if battery drain slows down.
Disable High Performance or Game Modes
Performance modes can override battery restrictions. If enabled, they prevent Power Saving from limiting CPU speed and background tasks.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Performance mode, and then switch it off.
If you use Game Space, open it and disable any performance boost settings.
Restrict Background Apps Manually
Some apps are allowed to run freely even when Power Saving mode is active. Limiting them manually often solves the problem.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap App management, and then select a high battery usage app.
- Tap Battery usage, and then choose Restrict background activity.
Repeat this for apps that consume the most power.
Restart the Phone
Temporary system glitches can prevent battery management features from functioning correctly. A restart refreshes system services and battery optimization.
- Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
- Wait for the phone to reboot, and then enable Power Saving mode again.
Check if the battery behavior improves afterward.
Update the Software
Software bugs can interfere with power management features. Installing the latest update may resolve the issue.
- Open Settings, and then tap System update.
- Tap Check for updates, and then install any available update.
After updating, test Power Saving mode again.
Reset All Settings
If nothing works, a settings reset may restore battery management functions. This does not erase personal files but resets system configurations.
- Open Settings, and then tap System management.
- Tap Backup and reset, and then choose Reset all settings.
Once complete, enable Power Saving mode and monitor battery performance.
Power Saving mode on the vivo S50 should noticeably reduce background activity and extend battery life. After adjusting conflicting settings and restricting heavy apps, the feature should begin working as intended.
FAQs
Why is my vivo S50 battery still draining fast in Power Saving mode?
Some apps may be exempt from restrictions or running persistent background services. Manually limiting their battery access usually fixes this.
Does Power Saving mode reduce performance on the vivo S50?
Yes, it lowers CPU performance and limits background processes to extend battery life. This is normal behavior.
Should I use Ultra Power Saving instead?
Ultra Power Saving is more aggressive and restricts most apps. It is useful in emergencies when battery life is critically low.
