WARNING: Battery saving mode is on

RE: WARNING: Battery saving mode is on
The message doesn't impact performance because it's only a message. However, the "battery saver" feature of your phone does affect performance for sure.

PPSSPP checks:

* If "user_powersaver_enable" is set to "1" (HTC)
* If "psm_switch" is set to "1" (Samsung)
* If Android's "POWER_SERVICE" returns true for "isPowerSaveMode" (only on Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, etc.)
* If Android sends a "ACTION_BATTERY_LOW" notification to the app (e.g. battery is below 20%.)

If the message is really untrue, then perhaps you have "psm_switch" set to 1, but your device no longer uses it since the upgrade? I'm not sure.

Anyway, if you're seeing a performance problem, try to find the first build that introduced it.

For example, first try v1.2.2-815-gef95bb0 - this is when the power saving mode was introduced. Next, you said v1.2.2-771-gd0b8e83 was not slower. There were several different changes in that range:

https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/compa...5-gef95bb0

In the middle of that is v1.2.2-793-ga0a4d3c - is that slower or faster? If it's not slower, you can keep trying something in the middle until you identify where it got faster or slower. It'll only take a few builds to narrow it down.

If v1.2.2-811-gea6b72d is fast, and v1.2.2-815-gef95bb0 is slow, then it means somehow asking your OS for the battery saving mode is causing things to be slower. You're running the official 6.0.1 from Samsung, right? Or did you install it custom?
