Even on the latest version, I'm still occasionally experiencing the issue of ForceDoze turning on when the screen is turned on. It put me in a kind of embarrassing situation today.

I went out to Walmart with my wifey to do some shopping & I went just with my phone & driver's license (b/c I use Samsung Pay).

After the cashier rung up everything in my cart (it was quite full), I opened up Samsung Pay to pay for the goods. Unlike numerous times before since sept of 2015, my credit card got declined. Tried 3 more times and still declined. Tried a second credit card in Samsung Pay and got declined again. A supervisor came to help but still not working & the people behind me are getting irritated.

The supervisor had me follow her to a different terminal and tried again and still nothing.

Then I noticed that ForceDoze was turned on instead of off. ForceDoze being turned on caused Samsung Pay to fail. After toggling ForceDoze off I rebooted the phone & tried Samsung Pay again. It worked first try.

I'm going back to Greenify Aggressive mode now. ForceDoze is just too buggy & ultra aggressive, despite the great amount of time & effort the dev has put into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Stroky:
Is there a reason why sometimes the doze battery stats show nothing or not that the Phone was entetring doze mode? The Phone was Not on the charger and in airplane mode over night.

Today i recive notification from app and i dont know how to delete this message.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Need to workout alot dev, as of now sticking to greenify
[Android Apps and Games] mrfrantastic:
Constructive criticism helps the dev. Your post helps nobody...
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Is that in destructive way? Lol..... I commented what I did, reviewed dev needs to work on the app
[Android Apps and Games] Stroky:
This app is by far the best doze app out there. I was never able to get this Kind of battery life with naptime or greenify.

I just wanted to report that the app does not work properly with Oreo ROMs. I had a few apps on the block list and this morning when I woke up forcedoze didn't undisable them when I turned the screen on, tries restarting and wiping cache with no success. Had to go in the app store like I would reinstall them but it said enable instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Peryon:
Hi,

I have S2 Galaxy running Cm14 (lineage unofficial, 7.1.2). App worked perfectly in previous updates but after October rom update I noticed that screen won't wake up in calls. It stays black so I can't see or who calls nor answer the call. I digged through system options to try track down what could prevent screen to wake up so finally when I stopped force doze screen started to behave normally. I put phone app on white list in previous attempts but that didn't help either.

Any advice? I'd like to use app again because it improves battery life significantly.

Tnx.

Correction:

Force Doze is not responsible. It's a rom bug.
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
Same thing happened and which I said previous page. Maybe ForceDoze caused some app to go rogue.

I'd think going from deep sleep to on and deep sleep to on, rinse and repeat would be more battery draining. Unlike normal doze which has a sort of buffer before going to deep sleep. I don't know. [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] said it won't.

Hi, im trying this awesome app in my oneplus5 and seems to works fine.

One question, how I can hide this notification?

I tried one option to disable persistent notifications in force doze app but doesnt work.

I think on disable notification in Android but could affect app?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Ne0x86:
Whats the difference between:

Dont disable sensors on screen is off

Disable motion sensing for Doze

??

If I keep first disabled (as default) I imagine cant enable second one rigth?
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Disable ForceDoze

Clear Data

Untick 'Show persistent notification' in settings

Enable ForceDoze

I am still getting WhatsApp messages instantly when the screen is turned off(force doze enabled) .If force doze really works then I am not supposed to get any messages right? How to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] mezerr:
Wouldn't WhatsApp be a priority notification? Priority notifications will wake up a device in Doze. Similar to Messenger and Phone calls.
[Android Apps and Games] fndpena:
Is this working on Oreo? I see this is not updated for quite some time...

I can't see any reference to Oreo in the changelog, so I suppose it's not supported?

Is doze delay (inside settings) in seconds or minutes?
[Android Apps and Games] drorcun:
same on my device, after waking the device, data and wifi both turning on even one of them is off when lock the device..

[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
??. When in doze only will disable of data will work,the app is for doze,,when the phones sleeping,,you can't have doze working with screen on.is that what your asking,those options are for when phones in doze..
[Android Apps and Games] drorcun:
you didn't understand man, i check "data and wifi off when in doze" in ForceDoze app but it turned on both when the phone wakes whether the data is off, wifi is on when screen off. it have to come same situation when turning off the screen..

Redmi Note 4 cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
OK,,when the data will turn back on when it turns on as well as WiFi,if you checked no data,no WiFi and you still get WiFi and data then I have no idea,but if you checked the WiFi as well as data then neither should work when phone screen is off and doze kicks in,then when phone turns on the data,,WiFi turns back on..the WiFi data ONLY work after the phone enters doze,and when the screen goes back on or phone wakes from doze the data,WiFi turn back on.if neither work when your phone is IN doze then someone else would have to help you.I checked no data, no WiFi,no motion and ALL work when phone enters doze,and all turn back on when exiting doze.any helpful I hope.
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
when my phone enters doze(4,5 minutes), after screen goes off,I get no WiFi,data,and movement doesn't effect the screen being turned on.maybe I font understand ur question,with those checked and none of them work than someone else will have to help you,those checked only work when ur phone enters doze(4,5 minutes after screens off),then when phone screen turns on and enters normal functions the data,WiFi turn back on.make sure to check battery opt and see what you've check not to doze..
[Android Apps and Games] drorcun:
i'll tell you with an example. i turn off data connection and turn on wifi and i surf in the net, then i lock the device with power button, it will go doze as supposed and turn off both data and wifi.. after i unlock device, it turns on both wifi and data connection. so it doesn't come to same situation (data off and wifi on) when locking the device.. i think there is a code missing that say "after screen on restore the data on if it was on when locking the device"
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
totally confused,this is doze,much like grenify,not tasker,the options work when the phone goes into doze,then there is a slight delay when phone wakes.that's exactly what doze is suppose to do,only there an option to turn off WiFi,data as compared to regular doze.
[Android Apps and Games] drorcun:
if someone don't want to understand somebody, whatever you do he don't understand you. i learn this from you please don't write to my questions if you don't want to understand me.. i know about dose but you don't know about ForceDoze app first learn to use it. it doesn't turn off the data and wifi when it's in dose mode, if you want to disable data and wifi you have to check the options that turns off the data and the wifi.. but it activates data on after unlock device whether it's off when you lock the phone..
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
that's what I wrote,when you check those options in force doze it DOES turn odd WiFi and data as I showed in attachments,and when phone exits does there's a slight delay and data,WiFi auto turn on..so since I don't understand what your asking I showed my attachment of how I set up force doze and for MY device I get no data,or WiFi as long as phone screen is off,there's a delay before the phone goes into deep doze as well as when exiting deep doze.that's what I explained.if your not getting those results then maybe someone can explain better.no need to get mad,I thought you were saying data and WiFi doesn't get turned off when in doze with force doze.
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
there is my results,after 4 minutes it kicks into deep doze.
[Android Apps and Games] drorcun:
the data and wifi both getting on whether data is off before unlock, i ask only this.. it have to turn the situation before lock the device.. look first picture data off wifi on before lock, and after dose kicks and unlock device look wifi is on and data is on too..

this is the bug..

Hi ! I had a mistake with the last update. Op3 Oos 4.5.0 magisk v14.

When I want turn off data in sleep I've got an error su binary denied or not installed ?

But I can do it before ? I don't understand.

You made this too complicated. He enabled the option to disable WiFi and Data when Doze kicks in. Using his device he was on WiFi only, data was off. When the phone went to sleep as per ForceDoze settings and he woke it up, both WiFi and data were enabled. It didn't revert back to the original state of WiFi only, data off. This was the issue he was simply explaining.
[Android Apps and Games] Trasgoss:
Anybody knows why forcedoze always show battery level: 0,0%.

It seems the app doesn't get the battery level...

Any idea? Thanks a lot.

ForceDoze : Doze App Blocklist

I have just started using this app and it works extremely well. The only issue that I have come across involves the App Blocklist. When I add home screen apps like facebook, lock the phone, and then unlock it, the shortcuts are missing from the home screen. I have done some looking and have found others with the issue but no answers to solve it. Is this still something that is outstanding or has it been solved.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Might consider Greenify for app level 'control' w/o the side effects.
[Android Apps and Games] cjrivera04:
Hey folks, anyone getting force closes on latest version of forcedoze? App runs fine then after a couple of days when I check on the app it just crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] ggkameleon:
Hi ! Force Doze works with Android Oréo ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Yes, works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Ubimo:
I've granted ForceDoze root in Magisk and have it as a Xposed module.

Is this good or bad to have Magisk in both apps? (Magisk and Xposed).
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
What's the point - just asking for conflicts/trouble. Applies to every app/module where overlap exists.
[Android Apps and Games] Ubimo:
Yes, may there be problems if have have both?
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
See previous response; it is the only one that matters.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
Is anyone trying this on Android 8.0 ? Feedback?

I have a problem with the option "disable motion sensing for doze". When I activate it, if I get some notifications in the lock screen (as a whatsapp messages) i cannot unlock the phone correctly.

[MENTION=5427507]ssrij[/MENTION]

Thanks a lot for the wonderful app.

It has reduced the drain on my wife's Moto device by half!!!

I would very much like to donate but not through PayPal. I have had major unresolved issues in the past. Is there an alternative? Please PM if you wish

Also just for my understanding, the default tuna le settings for doze - are they same for Marshmallow and Nougat? If not, what are the settings for Nougat?

Thanks

I have a problem with "significant motion sensor"

My phone (P10 plus) goes correctly into deep Doze mode -->https://prnt.sc/hp85a8

But GSam battery monitor , in the voice "Android System" says that "motion sensor" is active for 6h hours --> https://prnt.sc/hp86rd

And ,after some tests, I noticed that this happen when my phone goes into deep doze mode

Other with this "problem" ?
[Android Apps and Games] hovanhuang:
I'm using Stock S8 non-root. Gave access to ForceDoze and disable the motion sensor option is on. But i found out that the phone still interrupt by motion. When I put the phone in the pocket, Doze won't kick in.

Also, from GSAM, I only enter light doze mode not deep doze. But in forcedoze app, it said the doze kick in.

anyone running this app fine with S8 and S8+?

thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] trojjacker:
I'm still not quite convinced that the app does a lot of battery saving. I've had it installed on the Honor 8, Huawei Nova, Honor 5C, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and BQ Aquaris X Pro (with basically Stock Android). I've monitored GSAM on every device and it does enter Light Doze sooner (usually after 5-10 minutes). It always entered Deep Doze after 30 minutes if at all (there were random times where it wouldn't enter deep doze similar to the post above).

However, one thing I also noticed on all devices was that the "Deep Sleep" time was very low to nonexistent after the first 5 to 10 minutes after the devices were turned off. It's almost like this App or some changes made to Doze keep the phone "awake" for 5 to 10 minutes and then make the device enter Light Doze and "Deep Sleep". This actually made battery life worse for me if I kept checking my phone a lot, as it would always never enter "Deep Sleep".

This could be related to Huawei devices but even the BQ with basically Stock Android displayed this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
I have also had this problem on a hammerhead with all lineage based ROMs. Can't figure out how to limit it or recalibrate the sensor to stop it.
[Android Apps and Games] S3y:
I'm still waiting for someone who tell me if there is a way to solve this problem... Until that moment I'm not using this app
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
As for me, I haven't done tests to see if battery life is better without the forcedoze service running. I think I still get significant motion wakelocks without it. I have disabled all the lineage options I could find to wake up the device (like when you remove it from your pocket).
[Android Apps and Games] S3y:
After two days that I don't use forcedoze I don't have any significant motion wakelock (I will update the situation if I see the wakelock again).
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
Thanks. I am trying again without forcedoze to confirm this.
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
I still got two hours keep awake from significant motion during my last charge cycle with the forcedoze service disabled.

Did you remove the entire program or just turn off the service? I have been battling this wakelock ever since I went to lineage 14... I even posted in the BBS thread with screenshots but go answers.
[Android Apps and Games] S3y:
I uninstall the application.

Significant motion sensor appear some days for 30 min , other days completely nothing
[Android Apps and Games] chaoscreater:
I've done a lot of research on XDA, Google and Reddit. I can't find any decent info on what the differences are between ForceDoze and Naptime, which one is better, etc.

Things I know:

- Both Naptime and ForceDoze can work without root (use ADB to enable permissions).

- Naptime seems to have better compatibility, whereas ForceDoze doesn't seem to work with certain apps. This is according to some of the Reddit comments I've found.

- Both do pretty much the same thing. I just want my phone to go straight into Doze immediately after screen off.

Which is better?
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Neither.

Dropping into doze immediately after screen off is usually counterproductive as deferred tasks simultaneously resume when the device wakes, often introducing screen-on lag (just when it's appreciated most) and ultimately consuming the same power.

Google got it mostly right with Android 6 and made further refinements in Nougat/Oreo. Unless your device has a problem entering/remaining in doze let it cycle naturally.

Note: Idling at low frequencies can yield the same battery saving benefits as doze provided there is minimal background activity. User app background activity can be controlled via Greenify on an unrooted device.
[Android Apps and Games] partridge79:
installed force doze and regardless of its battery saving implications im having an issue where whenever i activate forcedoze my shortcut for playstore in my dock (nova prime) dissapears after a few seconds of screen off. no other icons dissappear only playstore (im using stock Forcedoze settings. (just toggled it on) nothing special added to list. is this a known bug or something new/introduced in 8.1 (nitrogenOS) oneplus3. other than this one minor anomaly im getting horizontal battery line in idle/screen off
[Android Apps and Games] chaoscreater:
But isn't it better to let Doze kick in as soon as possible, when you're not actually using the phone? Default Doze kicks in after 30 minutes or something right? Furthermore, Doze can be deactivated by Sensor Motion. In ForceDoze and Naptime, you can disable Sensor Motion from waking up Doze. If I have my phone in my pocket while I'm walking, I want it to be asleep. Of course, certain apps can be whitelisted so that I still get notifications from them, but generally I only want my phone to be awake when I'm actually using it.

I have already been using Greenify for years on both rooted (with Xposed) and unrooted phones. Aggressive doze doesn't kick in immediately compared to Naptime or ForceDoze, so I'm wondering if I should stop using Greenify and just switch to either Naptime or ForceDoze.

The only difference, based on my testings so far, is that Naptime doesn't support a whitelist, whereas ForceDoze does.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Nope - for reasons noted in my previous post. Just because you click off the screen doesn't mean it's efficient to immediately squash all background activity. Many tasks need to complete naturally within a specific timeframe or be forced to start all over when the phone wakes.

Those often quoted stats were true in Android 6 based ROMs. Disabling the motion sensor on Marshmallow was essential for power savings which FD, NT, Greenify several other tools can easily do. Newer Android builds progressively enter deeper doze states and wake less often. Putting an Android device into a deep comma when the screen flicks off only leads to increased consumption and performance problems when it wakes.

Arguably native doze is the most efficient for most devices most of the time - especially on Android 7/8. The best option is to use one tool at a time and objectively measure the impacts over a series of days or weeks. While I have Greenify (only) installed on most of my devices I only use it to rein in a few bad actors (via automated hibernation) and let Android take care of the rest. Idle drain ranges from 0.2-0.6% per hour depending on a variety of factors including device type, radio conditions and essential background activity. Wake lag is non-existent.

Last I looked ForceDoze simply exposes the 'whitelist' used by Android's "battery optimization".
[Android Apps and Games] marvasten:
[MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] What about Brevent vs Greenify? Which one is better?
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Lol. Everyone has their favorite elixir; I use Greenify when needed (which isn't often).
[Android Apps and Games] jrbmed08:
I have the exact same problem on my Xperia XZ1 Compact running stock unrooted 8.0. Better Battery Stats shows that Google Play Services is using my Significant Motion Sensor basically all the time, and I wondered whether disabling the sensor through ForceDoze was somehow making Google Play Services run wild trying to sense motion. But it seems to be the same whether I have ForceDoze active, disabled, or uninstalled. I reset ForceDoze settings via the app before uninstalling it, so theoretically my Doze settings should be back to stock, and it's still happening. So I don't think it's an issue caused by ForceDoze, but I've been looking all over the Internet for a solution unsuccessfully.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Why is this a problem?
[Android Apps and Games] jrbmed08:
I'm trying to troubleshoot battery drain and wondering whether it actually is a problem or not. I've been told it's not normal behavior on Oreo. If it's not actually causing drain though, no big deal.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Whether it actually is causing drain is for you to determine. Just because a sensor is active/engaged does not mean it is contributing to excessive drain...or draining at all. If idle falloff rate is under 1% per hour your device is fine. Lower rates are obtainable with varying degrees of effort. All things considered I prefer to use my gizmos vs. manage them.
[Android Apps and Games] jrbmed08:
Yup, I've been working with people in the Better Battery Stats thread to sort it out. Just thought I'd post here because I saw it mentioned above. My idle drain is about 1% now, which is quite decent considering I leave mobile radios, location, and Bluetooth on. But it took a lot of troubleshooting to get there, and I'd like to optimize everything I can in order to be able to use my phone rather than disable everything.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Sounds like you are on the right track (and have the proper mindset on balancing battery life, functionality and time invested).
[Android Apps and Games] chaoscreater:
After several days of testing this app, I can conclude from my personal experience that this does not work, and actually drains my battery more.

Have tested on the following:

1. Galaxy S8+ running stock Nougat

2. Galaxy Note 3 running Aryamod 2.1 (Marshmellow)

3. Sharp Z2 running stock Marshmellow

All my tests are performed under the same scenario. I charge my phones to 100% and leave it fully charged for at least 10 minutes. Turn on airplane mode, killed all apps and disabled whatever that may cause interference (e.g. Greenify). Turned on GSAM, unplug battery, set a custom reference time and turn off the screen. Let it sit for 9~10 hours and check battery usage and stats. On both stock ROMs, I have granted permissions via ADB. I have tested a combination of disabling motion sensor and also not turning off motion when the device is in doze.

The end result is that without running ForceDoze, I gain an extra 2~5% of battery life. On my Galaxy Note 3, I have done a clean flash of the custom rom twice. First test was just going through the setup wizard and install GSAM to monitor battery. No other settings or apps were configured/installed. There was 0%~1% drain. Second test was the same as the first, except I have ForceDoze installed and disabled motion sensing. Drained about 5%. Final test the same as 2nd, but without disabling motion sensing. Drained about 3%.

The only exception here is on my Sharp Z2, where using ForceDoze or not made no difference, as both conditions drained the same amount of battery.
