How to Enable Battery Saver Mode on Itel
Battery Saver on Itel phones reduces background activity, lowers brightness slightly, and pauses non-essential notifications. It is the fastest way to stretch the remaining battery when power is running low. The toggle is available in Settings > Battery on supported Itel models.
Steps
- Open Settings and tap Battery.
- Tap Battery Saver (or Power Saving Mode).
- Turn it on using the toggle at the top.
- Optionally, set Turn on automatically at 20% so it activates without manual steps.
- Lock the screen — the phone now applies the reduced background policy.
- To turn it off later, return to Battery Saver and toggle it off.
💡Protip:
Some Itel models also offer an Ultra Saving Mode on the lock screen for emergencies. It keeps only calls, SMS, and clock active, which can stretch the last 5–10% to several hours.
👍Pros
- One-tap activation inside the Battery screen.
- Extends standby time by 1–3 hours on most Itel models.
- Auto-trigger at a chosen percentage removes the need to monitor power.
👎Cons
- App notifications, sync, and location refresh slow down.
- Gaming and video streaming can feel less smooth until turned off.
Common Issues and Fixes
- Battery Saver toggle is greyed out — Likely cause: phone is mid-update or charging. Fix: unplug the charger and wait for any system update to finish, then retry.
- Auto-activate percentage doesn't trigger — Likely cause: scheduled battery level is set to 5% or 15%. Fix: change the threshold in Battery Saver settings to 20% or 30%.
- Phone still feels slow after enabling — Likely cause: too many apps open at once. Fix: close recent apps from the Recent screen and let the system settle for a minute.
