Features:

Power Manager Android App features many ways to save battery juice for your Android phone.  It comes with pre-configured “Profiles” or you can customize your own. Profiles are power settings based on phone usage or events. For example, “Low Power” profile will dim the screen and turn off Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS locations for you automatically. In customizing your own Profiles, you can set events with “Triggers” such as Battery, A/C, USB powered, etc.

How Power Manager Apps works?

The Power Manager Apps for Android combines a visual panel with the currently running power hogging applications that is enabled in the phone, wherein control over these aspects is managed using preset conditions, such that the user can always keep tab of where he is leaking power. Pressing the Monitor Active button let the app manage the settings for the user.

The users can also manage the settings manually. That is, by varying the four settings under the control panel – A/C powered, Low battery. Browsing mode, and Battery powered – users can toggle between battery life and performance, turn low battery settings on, turn max performance setting on, and turn computer powered performance on respectively as required. Each of these will toggle on/off the options in the control panel corresponding to that setting. The reset button resets the settings to its default.
Also, users can directly switch off the desired features from the control panel. Power Manager Android Apps also enables users to have automatic presets for each profile in the phone.

Here are the options and their functions if the users were to manage power manually,

  • Battery Powered – Dims the screen, alongside disabling the locations.
  • Low Battery – Dims the screen and turn off WiFi, Bluetooth and locations.
  • A/C Powered – Brighten screen and enable WiFi locations.
  • Computer Powered – Ability to set specialized settings.
  • Browsing Mode – Keep the Android awake while the keyboard is open, plus enable WiFi and locations.
  • Initial Settings – Restore the original settings. I.e. the settings as it were when this Power Manager app was first installed in the phone.
