Doze mode in Android Marshmallow is the solution to draining battery when your phone is idle for a long time. The waiting time for the phone to actually go into Doze mode is 30 minutes. However, we have previously shown how you can force this Doze mode whenever you turn off the screen. However, your phone will exit Doze mode when motion is detected. So, what if you want your phone to stay in Doze mode all the time? What if you could change the different sensor timeouts and timeouts that Doze uses? Let’s see how you can do that.
Now, the application in which we are going to perform this task needs to have Root access. So make sure the phone is Rooted. And, your device must be running Android 6.0 or higher (of course). Let’s dig inside.
How to Fine-tune Doze Mode
Step 1: Download and install this app called Naptime.
Step 2: Grant root access. As soon as you open the app, it will ask you to grant root access. Nature hit Subsidies. Also, since you will be changing some system settings, you need to allow apps to modify System settings.
Step 3: Enable Active Mode. This will cause your phone to go straight to Doze when the screen is off. In addition, there is an option to Disable motion detection. Enable this feature to keep your phone in Doze mode even when it detects motion.
Step 4: Whitelist an app. You can make an app whitelist, meaning it won’t be affected by Doze Mode. It will work normally. You can only select one app because a developer cannot allow multiple apps during development.
Step 5: Now let’s adjust the different parameter on which Doze works. First we will look at the Sensors section. Each option has an explanation provided by the developer. Here you can change the timeouts for different sensors to change the Doze state to active/inactive. the first option is timeout not working. This is the amount of time it takes for your phone to start searching for different sensors to see if the phone is moving.
You can reduce this time to 1200 seconds (ie 20 minutes) if you want the phone to work often. Be careful though, don’t lower it too much as it will drain the battery by checking the sensors every time the timeout expires.
The next option is the sensor timeout. This is when it will check the sensors to see if the phone is moving, before deciding that it’s not. You can manually read the information for each option and change the values accordingly.
Then there’s the idle section where you can set the Maximum Time your phone will stay idle after going into Doze. Also, other options for inactive status after inactivity timeout, etc.
Test different values to see if your phone can use more battery. If you think you made a mistake, there is an option to restore to defaults. Also, you can check out this Reddit thread for different views from other users. There is also a similar application on XDA called Doze Setting editor. You can also try that.
One thing I want in these apps is Profiles. Configure the settings that will give the best battery life for different situations. For example, when you’re traveling (where the device will mostly be in motion) or when you’re working (where your device is mostly inactive). That way we won’t need to mess around with settings to match our current situation.
