Right now i have Power Savings on, even at 100%, except for Dark mode and the 'max power savings' mode.

If my battery goes below x%, i would like to turn on Dark mode to really reduce power draw.
Is there a simple way of activating this?

Yes, there is. Open phone strings -> Modes and routines. Create this routine.

[Edit] you can use whatever percentage you want. 1756315470755.jpg

Doesn't work:

As a test, I set it at 65% battery. 

How do I find out what is preventing it?

Do you have anything enabled in phone settings -> Display -> Dark mode settings?

You created a Mode not a Routine but it should still work. I just did the same and it worked for me. Since you are using a Mode, make sure that you don't have any other active modes which are conflicting.

As a troubleshooting step, you can boot into safe mode. If it works while booted in safe mode, you have some 3rd party software causing a conflict.

[Edit] I tried both a Mode and a Routine. Both worked for me.

I did not create any other modes.

Would power savings count as a mode?

@SlicePi I don't know but you can try turning off Power Savings and see if you Mode works.

So I turned off power savings and it worked.

But that defeats the purpose of making the  battery last longer

So will try with Routines

 Doesn't work with Routines either 

I'm going to assume Power savings is the cause, just like In Modes.

Any other suggestions?
