I know lot of you guys may already know how to use this feature but there are many who dont know where this *doze* feature exist in marshmallow roms and firmware because there is no enough evidence about this feature.
So here is the quick guide how to enable doze feature.
1, go to settings/battery or power saving )/details and here you can see this is the *doze* feature all of the apps that consumes battery.
By default it is auto save power on 3 days you can set it to always save power to all apps 1 by 1 as in screenshot below.
You will see huge improvement about 20% in battery life after enabling this feature.
Hope that helps
hit thanks button if this works for you:good::good::good:

Are you talking about smart manager ?
Because i think its nothing to do with any 3rd party app in battery doze feature.
My Oneplus 3T is autoclosing apps that I am using while running, they are running in the background to give me timing and track my GPS, they are just randomly closed.
I have disabled Aggressive Doze and Auto-close high power apps but it is still happening. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Yes, activate the lock (top right / multitasking screen) or flash a custom kernel (like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ernel-franco-kernel-r1-28th-november-t3508904) which supports more background apps (limit raised to 60 from stock 32)

hello, does the lock solve the issue, could you please confirm ?
There are some hidden settings which might cause this
1. Apps - Setting - Apps auto-launch . Make sure it's turned off
2. Advanced - Recent app management - Make sure Normal clear is selected.
There is option in setting that close the application as soon you clear it from recent apps ....Setting/system UI/advanced
...Make sure it desabled.....Enjoy your device
I can't find any such setting. Which phone are you using now?

You have to start system UI tuner then you will be able to see this setting that's why

How about battery optimization setting? apps > gear > special access > battery optimization > apps in Not optimized list?
Yeah, I know. There's Doze, Aggressive Doze, and this Battery Optimization.
I'm having the same issue. Tried Franco Kernel and it didn't help.

I have tried locking Pokemon Go and it seemed to be working until today when it was killed in the background and I had to reload.
I'm not sure if this is a PoGo issue or a OnePlus issue.
I have now turned off battery optimisations for PoGo to see how that goes.

So far none of the solutions listed have worked for me. I have same problem with Pokemon Go, Lyft, and Uber. I'm on stock 7.0 not rooted. I tried the Beta 7.1.1 and no difference.

I started my torrent download and i slept as it was downloading in background, but in the morning the download dissappear how to fix this
Same Problem
I'm also having the same problem with PoGo. I can't find this lock button.
I have the same issue with some apps, including PoGo and Firefox and probably Discord (chat application). I bought this device with 6 GB to have not these issues. I'm quite disappointed. The issue occured with Android 6, with what the device was shipped, and with the latest Android 7.1. Maybe it doesn't have 6 GB at all and they did cheat me?
The lock button on the task manager screen does just prevent apps to be swiped away in my opinion.
i have the same issue when playing with pokemon go. very annoying. especially when its connected to my pogo plus. never had an issue with my s7e.
glad i'm not the only one. NPR app closes by itself when I'm listening to it.. I've noticed flipboard closing while i'm using it as well.
Just use a custom kernel, stock one has a limit on 32 max apps open. Other than that the solutions are those given already (Lock icon, disable battery opt for that app, disable doze, etc.)
Hi to all,
Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.
- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...

* I havent test batter drain of this application.
p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy
Hmm... Looks pretty sweet. I will definitely give it a try. It is odd that the Huawei features are so... thin. I mean, why wouldn't they at least give you the ability to toggle notification icons for just a few common apps?
I tried this and the battery drain is high even with just the digital clock on.
Yeah, I said the same in the other thread. It was using 1% in around 10 - 15 minutes and I hadn't even turned on proximity detection.
I used it for half a day. But he consumes a lot of charge. I do not recommend.
Yeah I noticed my battery draining pretty fast too. However I still think this app is pretty cool and worth it, especially over the crappy native AOD... As my phone still gets through a full day usually.
Though if I think I'm gonna have a day of heavy phone use or I'm travelling or something, I'll just disable it.
I'm using this one, which is very good as well.

I think there's nothing which can be done about battery, whatever app you use it will always drain something.

The app doesn't show the AOD when the display goes off. It shows the AOD when the screen is on and you activate it. I uninstalled it.

It does if you configure it properly. And yeah, there were problems with notifications showing up on the M20 Pro (and I suppose onother EMUI 9 phones as well), but they have been fixed in the meantime.
Must admit I just use it during the day and when I put my phone on the wireless charging pad...just like all other aod apps, it just consumes too much battery to be taken in consideration for constant use (the dev himself doesn't advise to use it this way either). I guess devs can't do nothing about it, it's just the way it is with aod.

Built in AOD consumes very little power but a third party app version doesn't have elevated system privileges so it's going to eat battery like crazy to keep itself open and running.
It's similar to why built in SMS uses very little power but an app like Facebook Messenger is a notorious battery hog.
So, I just upgraded to Android 9 and I use a lot of widgets for various news feeds, weather, baseball scores, etc. Most of my widgets are not refreshing (even when prompted on the widgets) or even loading (unless I take them off the homescreens and replace them).
This is happening with Falcon Pro, Tweetcaster, MLB At Bat, Eye In The Sky Weather, and Talon.
Please help me.
Happens to me with Timely, in fact, the app (alarm) does not even work at all and caused me a few missed days at work. But they haven't updated it for quite a while.
The problem is that in Device Care, we cannot white list apps anymore like we did in Oreo.

I've found so far there's a difference.
My sports side panel only seems to update on wifi.
So I'm guessing it's a permissions thing?

All the apps that i want to be able to talk on the background have the background allowance. And i am reluctant to disable battery optimization.
But that was not my point. On Oreo, you could black list apps (always sleeping) and white list apps (do not put to sleep) on device care/maintenance. In Pie, you can only black list.
Nevertheless, i think in my case it's the Apps fault. Last update was prior Pie release. However, the widget many times is at least an hour or two behind (a clock widget from the same app).
Thanks for the feedback.
I get your point.
You are right, the white-list is no more.
I had a similar problem with my widgets.
Using my settings above fixed it.
You can disable battery Optimization without hesitation, if the app itself does not suck your battery.
I configured, HD widgets for example, usage and have the same battery usage with and without battery Optimization.
Widgets not refreshing since Samsung update
I'm having the same issue...HD Widgets, Evernote, Business Calender (all widgets I've had for years and love) are not refreshing after I "wake" my phone or reboot. If I remove the widget from the screen and re-add them, they work fine...but I'm not about to do that every time my phone sleeps for a while. This is on my Galaxy Note 8 running Android 9.0.
Is there a fix? Thx

So, for the apps I want to use widgets for, I need to turn off "Optimize Battery Usage" in the app's options?
OK, I think I've got it working now.
But, my Proximity Screen Off app keeps stopping.
One more pie related annoyance, what a pity
I have the above settings but several widgets still not working e.g. Google Fit. A cheeky app that still tracks you even with permissions denied.
Anyway, I have a Galaxy A10 Android 9.
It's become a major bugbear for me.
Can it be fixed? I can only update widgets when I manually go into the apps.
Cheers,
Anthony

Meh...each to their own my friend. I like my Nova launcher, with certain icon packs, and multiple screens. What's even funnier, I don't use AOD, active edge, soli, now playing, rarely assistant, smooth display, adaptive brightness, gesture navigation, or ambient eq. Shoot....I even drink milk straight outa the carton. I'm a 19th century man living in the 21st century!
However, I do like my add blocker, TiBu, custom kernel, KCAL control, and Swift Black theme, and my 8-11 hours of SOT over 2 days because I don't use social media or do gaming. So, I don't see me missing out on too much. After all, isn't that what android is all about....choice! :good::laugh:

Swiping up a little on the homescreen to reveal most recent used apps is the biggest. That doesn't work when you disable device personalization sittings. I use it all the time.

I use Pixel 4a still running on Android 10. When I first started using the phone I noticed that "Android System" had a very high battery usage on my phone. It was always positioned at 2nd or 3rd in my battery usage list with like 10-15% battery usage, affecting my battery life. Compared to my other android phones with similar usage, it was higher on Pixel.
For a long time I couldn't figure out what caused it. Played around with many system apps by turning things on/off, turns out it was due to Device Personalization Services (now called Android System Intelligence). It had a high data usage when I checked it. I disabled it and it solved my problem. Now Android System drains just 3-4% of my phone's battery. I use 2 phones and bought Pixel 4a specifically for its camera. I don't use any of the Device Personalization Services and completely fine without it. So I'm mentioning my experience incase anyone wants to turn it off.
