Hi Guys,

I recently started using modes in my S23 (Green , 8/256GB variant).
Earlier I never used such features on Samsung phone but used on LG and old Nokia Symbian phones.

I created Sleep mode which will make phone go to power Savings, do not disturb and some more settings.
I have set condition as time 11PM to 7AM.

Now I observed 2 major issues with this.

1) Sleep mode turns on and does things it is supposed to at 11PM , but it doesn't revert back to normal at 7AM. I have to do it manually which defeats purpose of this automation.

2) Also phone changes to LTE/3G/2G during mode but even after manually stopping mode it remains in that. So it does not revert to 5G/LTE/3G/2G

Please attached screenshots for mode details which I am using.

Let me know if I am missing any steps.

Please note that this mode I have set from Sunday to Thursday only. Still it doesn't work as expected.

Do this ... create a Sleep Mode, do not set it to change any settings. Only set a time period when you want to activate it.
.
Now create a Routine, in the If condition select the Sleep mode. Then select the settings you want to change when in Sleep mode.
This should revert the settings back when Sleep mode turns OFF

You can play with Modes and Routines to see what settings work for your need

But can you tell me if you are able to use it with only modes ?

Also can you do changes in network like 5G > 4G and vice versa via only mode?

With only modes it's a bit too much work I suppose... And it's not so practical imo... You might have to create 2 mode for ON and OFF conditions ...
.
With Routines it reverts back automatically when the Mode is OFFScreenshot_20230630_224321_Nova7.jpgScreenshot_20230630_223129_Nova7.jpgScreenshot_20230630_223102_Nova7.jpgScreenshot_20230630_223004_Modes and Routines.jpg

Yes you can do network switch 5G To 4G and other things by modes... just see attached pic... And in my case mode automatically turn off in given time...Screenshot_20230701_004212_Modes and Routines_1000109159_1688152346.jpg

Tried and still not able to get it working consistently.
Especially turning on mode or routine is ok but it doesn't turn off or stop after time is over.

What I am looking to do is simple.

Set phone to power saving, do not disturb and other power saving during night.
Set time 11PM to 7AM
