Modes and routines

[Jules_Jan]

Modes and routines for sleep. I've got this set to turn on automatically and set phone into greyscale. This isn't happening. Cleared cache and restarted phone and GW4 and still can't get it to turn on automatically. Works if I manually turn it on which is ann because I need it to auto turn off. Also tried deleting the current mode and resetting it and it still won't auto turn on 

Any recommendations what to do to fix this?

This might sound silly, but did you set the times for it to turn on and off?
In general, what's the trigger for your sleep mode.to start and end?

In my opinion, you will not be able to get the mode and routines to run reliably.

In my opinion, there are two reasons for this:
-I suspect that certain functions of modes and routines do not work in certain states of the smartphone, without Samsung giving you any indication of what exactly works and what does not.
-Main reason: Even if you create simple rules for time X, some of them are not executed (see my thread).

It worked perfectly until Saturday night. Trigger to turn on is 10pm and end is 5am. It's ending ok. Can't figure out what has gone wrong! 😂

I can only encourage you to observe the error and *try* to report it to Samsung.

The problem makes mode and routines completely useless in many cases because they are not reliable -_- I wanted to use the mode on the work phone that completely deactivates all connections on Friday and WiFi every morning for updates. On Monday the phone doesn't ring because the routine didn't work...

I haven't found a pattern yet. I haven't tested it as intensively as the last A14 Issue, but it's really getting on my nerves. I assumed that it had something to do with the smartphone's sleep time, among other things. But that hasn't been confirmed yet. However, it also seemed to me that there tended to be fewer problems after setting up the routine.
