If you’re looking to manage the power settings on your Samsung device, scheduling it to power on and off can be a huge time-saver. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you enable this feature on your Samsung Android phone.

Step 1: Access Settings

  • Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone. You can usually find this in your app drawer.

Step 2: Navigate to Device Care

  • Scroll down and tap on Device Care. This feature helps optimize your device’s performance.

Step 3: Find Battery Settings

  • In the Device Care section, tap on Battery. Here, you’ll find various options related to battery management.

Step 4: Schedule Power On/Off

  • Look for the More option (three dots or ‘Manage App Settings’ depending on your model) and select Scheduled power on/off.
  • Toggle on the feature and set your desired times for power on and off.
    • For example, you might want your phone to shut down at 11 PM and turn back on at 7 AM.

Step 5: Confirm Your Schedule

  • Once you’ve set your schedule, make sure to confirm any prompts. Your device may ask for permission to implement these changes.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Not Available?: If you don’t see an option for scheduling power, it may be restricted on your model or carrier. Check your user manual or the Samsung website.
  • Soft Reset: If the settings don’t seem to save, try performing a soft reset by restarting your device and setting the schedule again.

Alternative Solutions:

If your phone model does not support this feature, you can use apps like MacroDroid or Tasker. These apps can provide similar functionalities by setting custom triggers for power management.

MacroDroid Example:

  1. Install MacroDroid from the Google Play Store.
  2. Set up a new macro with triggers for time, and add actions for powering off and on (note: on some devices, rooting may be required).

What models does this work for? I have an older Samsung, and I’m not sure if I can do this.

It works on most Samsung Galaxy models, but it might not be available on really old devices. Best to check your software version!

I think this is a great feature, but I still prefer turning my phone off manually sometimes. There’s something satisfying about it!

Yes! I face this too sometimes. Have you checked if your phone’s software is up to date? That might help.

I’ve read that sometimes the scheduled power options can be hidden in different menus based on your Samsung model. Make sure to explore all the settings!

Another common issue is forgetting to save the settings after you schedule the power times. I’ve made that mistake more than once!
