Droid Turbo 2 Doze Not Working - Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My Turbo 2 received 6.0 yesterday and I was super pumped. However, last night, I forgot to put my phone on the charger. No big deal as I thought doze would kick in, but when I woke up and checked on it, I realized that the phone lost 3-6 percent battery overnight? Is anyone else having doze issues or is it just me?
Thanks guys,
Mach01

You're mad you lost 5 percent over night? Lol before I'd lose about 20 overnight. Sounds like it's working to me.

Haha, yeah, I know it seems like I'm nick-picking but my brother's Moto X Pure loses less than one percent with doze so I'm just curious.

There are a lot of reasons why your brother's phone may lose less overnight. The biggest being that the DT2 has the faster Snapdragon 810 processor opposed to the 808. Even with Doze, some apps still check in, though less frequently, so you could have more of those. Even in the same house, you could have a weaker cell signal. Also, you may have had more unseen notifications blinking on Active Display more often.
Still, 5-6% is nothing to even worry about with a 3760 mAh battery.

Actually, doze wasn't even working. I wiped the cache partition and doze came alive along with a few other minor bugs. I definitely agree 5-6 percent is no big deal. I just wanted to figure out why doze didn't work.

Post Your Battery Stats So Far...

With the couple of reviewers stating the battery isn't that great. Let's see if it they're right..my "screen on time" was a little over 5 hours*...
This is mine after a full 100% with auto brightness with moderate to heavy use..
Edit. remember to include "screen on time screenshots" unlike my OP.

After running down the out of the box battery to 20%, gave it a full charge. Since then, sitting at 6.5 hours off battery, 2 hours 1m 46s of screen on, mostly surfing the web, facebook, a handful of texts, using the Moto Display, Wi-Fi on half that time, off the other half, and about 10 pictures, 79% left.

Screen on time is the most important battery stat. Any chance you can edit your OP to include a screenshot of it starting from fully charged?
Yeah please post screen on times when reporting back.
I picked mine up yesterday, got it all setup, and charged over night. I'll be able to report back later this afternoon once it's had some significant uptime. I also have my LG G3 and Moto X 2013 next to me, and I'm trying to keep the usage uniform across all 3 to compare.

Got mine and it was at about 44% out of the box. Ram it down until it shut down and have been having baby use with it since (except for about 7 hours sleeping). And yeah, that is totally a rogue app. Never had problems with it before though. :/

This is comparing a Verizon G3 and Turbo, as well as a T-Mobile Moto X 2013. I've always had issues with the wireless keeping the phones awake, so the battery life isn't what most of you would probably see, but it's still a fair comparison.
DROID Turbo:
LG G3:
Moto X 2013:
So basically it's doing better than the G3 and way better than Moto X 2013. I agree with you though I think the poor Wifi reception is causing the phone to be awake more often or spend more battery maintaining signal. I'm at about 5 hours with 1 hr SOT and 80% battery. Seems reasonable but I thought it'd be better.

That's my conclusion as well, I will run these through the night and I'll have a better comparison, then this weekend will be real world use.
It has something to do with our wireless infrastructure at work that causes devices to stay away 90% of the time, at the end of the work day I'll have 6-7 hours of it being away with very little SOT.
I'm surprised that it's only a slight improvement over the G3 though, I was expecting more.
Still trying to get through my first few cycles. So far this morning my phone is at 90% with only 25 minutes of screen on time. I did run google play music on the drive over here. But still, those are rather terrible battery stats, hoping to get through the first few cycles and get better battery life.

You gotta give it more than the first 10% of one cycle to get an accurate representation. Let us know after the battery is down more.
Still gonna let it get lower before charging again. This is with a full charge. I am coming from the G3 and batt life seems way better on this, but can't tell since not even 1 charge cycle

Exactly, it takes few charging cycles for the battery and the phone to calibrate and maximize the battery life.
Alright here's mine.
Bought yesterday, charged to 100% overnight, used all day at work.
Thus far appears much better than my previous phone, an LG G2, but battery life has never been a problem for me.
Did well in phone arena tests though:

SOT isnt the only thing that shows how a battery is good or not. Like I said, I streamed a lot...with my G3, it would have crapped out long before going a full day, and the battery is only about 20% bigger. I got more than that out of the Turbo. Also note, this was the full first cycle. If you dont know already, the battery will get better after a full cycles. So Im loving it. I only have one true gripe and that is the low call volume, but I know that can be fixed through an update, which I hope they do soon.

Doze not what expected

When I got my N6P, I had expected standby time to be amazing thanks to Android Doze. My first day of use shows a lot of "awake" activity during the time when the phone is sitting on my bed side table, completely motionless.
Has anyone else had experience with their N6P doing the same? Am I doing something wrong that caused Doze to never activate?
As a frame of reference, when I went to bed the phone was at 47%. I took the screenshots when I woke up this morning.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but you have activated it haven't you?

I activated mine when my phone arrived. Settings>battery then use the battery menu and select battery optimisation.
Very frustrating reading replies that say Doze must somehow be turned on. It DOES NOT have to be turned on. It's interwoven into Marshmallow automatically.
You can tinker with battery optimizations within the phone's battery settings, but that's about it.
Note: If your phone needs to conduct maintenance (update apps over WiFi, etc.) doze may not kick in the way you think. If your phone has nothing to do and is sitting still for an extended period of time, it'll enter Doze and only sip battery.
You can try greenify beta it has aggressive doze when screen goes off, just whitelist the apps you need to notify you immediately.

Sorry, my bad. Battery optimisation is separate from doze then?
I'm seeing the same problem. 20% depleted in 7 hours overnight just sitting on my nightstand. Deep sleep in better battery stats showed 95%. Not sure what's going on.
How's your charging speed? It's nowhere close to what others are seeing. Even though it shows rapid charging, the amount of time to fully charge is high. 3 hours from 25%. 45 mins from 85% etc. Are you getting fast charging times? I can understand some process binging on my battery while running. I'm getting no more than 3 to 4 hours screen on time. But I don't understand why I would have slow charging times. But if you are also seeing slower charging time, then perhaps it could be.

Looks like it could be Tasker. I'm going to uninstall it and see what happens.

Doze works great for me. For example, during the night, I only lose like 3 percent battery life. That's pretty freaking low. It's like I went to sleep at 75% and woke up at 72%. Very effective imo.
By the looks of it, doze should be on by default. Going into settings/battery/battery optimization-just shows which are optimized and which aren't. It's not an on/off thing.
The only apps I can't optimize is Android OS and dm service. What's dm service anyway

Unfortunately, that's done nothing. Lost 5% in 1 hour just sitting. BBS shows 76% in deep sleep. Screen on 1%. Awake (Screen off) 25%.
This was about 5 hours untouched on my table last night... Working fine...
The the thing I don't really like about doze is, it only works if the phone is flat on a table... Any type of movement, be it in pocket or even on the car dash, it won't come into play...

That horiztonal bar (a clear indication of Doze) just doesn't happen when leaving my phone overnight. The "awake" bars at the bottom of the battery screen in Settings is also switching on and off periodically when the phone should be dozing.
Does that mean a third-party app is the cause?

My guess is yes, some app is staying awake.
It would also explain slow charging....something is eating up CPU cycles and preventing the phone from idling down and sleeping.
It isnt just a 6P thing either....my LG G2 with numerous ROMs/kernels has occasionally experienced issues like this. Almost 100% of the time it could be traced to an app that was misbehaving. You can use a battery tracking app (GSM battery monitor, better battery stats, etc) to get more detailed info. If you arent rooted Im not sure how detailed the info can get, but its probably a lot better than the stock battery graph.

Moto Z Play Battery life numbers

I don't personally have the Z Play but I just got it for my sister on my plan and its getting some really great battery life. it had 15% left but already had over 9 hours of SOT! granted she mostly watch's Youtube videos with checking Facebook every so often. what is everyone else getting?
First day of "normal" use, 3.5hrs of strava, zenwatch always connected
The battery life is absolutely insane. I'm so glad I got this little beast.
Yep, battery is great. Might even be better than the Moto X Play battery life.
13% CAN (depends on your settings, brightness etc) yield 2 hours SoT. Does with me

I use this phone a lot while working to take calls, playing music on my radio with Pandora while driving, and GPS. Wifi enabled, auto brightness, and GPS high accuracy.
Any idea why anyone would need to buy the battery pack Moto Mod when the stock battery lasts this long?

s10 plus Battery draining

Ehy everyone, for some reason it feels to me that my battery life on my s10 plus sucks.
I got it 2 weeks ago.
I did a test and charged up to 100%, went to sleep with 100% and woke up with 93% battery..
In addition to that, my previous phone Galaxy a7 2017, could hold on 100% like 5 minutes even when using the phone, my s10 plus goes from 100 to 96 in like few mintues..
I added a screenshot from my battery usage
And cpu usage
Oh and btw, ive read about the Voip battery drain but i dont do any whatsapp calls or such..
Any help?
I put mine on airplane mode at 50% before bed wake up its 49% , I've found I get better battery life from quick hrs or so charge rather than charging through the night , also it learns your charging habits apparently , but that's a big drain poss a app is root cause do you put on airplane mode at night ?

Your phone should work like a charm, those devices should behave a certain way, either it is a bug or something you might be doing wrong or an app setting coming from a backup restoration.
It is a voip call, google a little. I had deep sleep for 7 days, yesterday i made a call, and since then phone didnt go to deep sleepz so i restarted it and now it is as before... It is fixed in march update. Buying a phone that costs 1000+ $ and turning 50% of options off is ridiculous.

The latest firmware update solve the VoIP CPU-lock issue. But i am still experiencing mild battery drain, when i sleep with 100% batt, i closed all apps and cleared them from the ram and still get 93% when i wake up after 8hours of idle time. No idea how to solve this, checked the CPU its on "sleep/idle" mode the entire 8hours but somehow -7% battery.
I turned off VoIP, location and put the phone to medium power saving mode. It got better.
Edit: I am not having any performance issues with medium battery saving. %70 brightness, limited CPU, FHD screen resolution.

Pixel 3a battery: almost 9hrs SOT

I'm beyond impressed with this phone in the 48hrs I've had it. Coming from a Pixel 3 and S10e, upon first powering on it felt noticebly jankier than my other phones and understandably so. But after initial setup and allowing it to settle, it's actually pretty snappy. For my use case at least- web browsing, Twitter, Reddit, etc. PUBG is playable, but I'll leave that to my 3xl.
But what is blowing me away is the way this 670 sips on battery. It took me way longer to drain this thing than I thought it would, but between yesterday and today I managed almost 9hrs sot. This was just here at the house, 100% wifi, adaptive brightness on, and aod on. I'm curious what it would do with aod off, but at this point I'm sufficiently hooked on that feature. This is far and away the best battery I've ever had on a phone and it's truly plenty snappy. A step behind the 3 of course, but I'm good with this and the gains in battery are more than worth it. I honestly don't know who buys a Pixel 3 at this point.
Caveat: digital wellbeing was turned off before this test.
Bought unlocked at Best Buy. $399 with a $100 bb gift card; effectively $299. Crazy good value. It feels like Google just decimated the mid-range market.
BTW, the clickiest buttons I've ever had on a phone. The buttons seem oddly high quality for a phone this cheap.
I'm getting about half that with the XL but it's expected, I'm cruel to my batteries. I do agree about the value statement. When day one deals have the phone widely available for 100 (or more) less than MSRP you can figure that's your real buy in price and at 300 and 380 these things are screaming deals. You've got a top notch camera, a good software experience, best update path available,etc. Not an easy combo to beat and I'm very curious about where the sales numbers are going to come in at on these things. Personally, I'm hoping their good and we'll see more of the same.

I think this phone will be very popular. I don't see any reason it wouldn't have a strong development scene as well.
Yeah, I've been over optimistic about some phones that didn't do as well as I expected so I'm a little more guarded now about taking guesses but that aside I see this one as a winner. It's a very compelling package in it's price point.
I gotta give it a pretty good on the battery too. My 3a (small version) arrived on thursday.
It's clear it's gonna be able to consistently do 2 days for me.
Couple hours of PowerAmp via BT, which is a fairly power hungry use, plus 2:45 hours SOT (barely any overlap between the music and the screen use, by the way), over 12 hours with 57% left, good enough as far as I'm concerned..
Quite satisfied with the phone, happy to be back on a "Nexus" (the 3a feels so much like the spiritual successor to the Nexus 5X I knew it'd be the phone for me. I was right).
If next year they make a 4a with small bezels and the same or just slightly bigger screen size (so a slightly smaller overall size), I'll be all over it, almost guaranteed to stay with me for years.
Pixel 3a XL user. I'm not a heavy user but unless something changes I charge the phone every other day. I am on day 2 about to call in quits for today with 34% charge remaining and SOT of 6 hours and 30 minutes. Will put on the charger tonight. I really don't want to start charging the phone when it has over 60-70% charge remaining. I may start charging the the phone to only about 80%. I do that for my laptop because it is supposed to improve battery life. I hope that the excellent battery life continues.
Anyone know if ambient display affects the battery life noticeably? I heard some Pixel 3 owners are complaining about 1-2%/hour idle drain when its on, I hope it's fixed on the 3a.
I'm coming home with 80% battery left where it use to be 20% on my LG....This phone is awesome.

Anyone know if ambient display affects the battery life noticeably? I heard some Pixel 3 owners are complaining about 1-2%/hour idle drain when its on, I hope it's fixed on the 3a.

Yes aod is very battery hungry.
I lost 12% over night (8h) .
For me aod is a deal breaker so I turned it off for more battery life.
Overall the battery life is extremely good on my previous oneplus 3 I barely had 4 - 4,5h sot (with all tweaks).
Now I get 8-9h sot so I'm pretty impressed.
With root, substratum and blackedout apps I'm sure the battery life will get some significant boost.
Oh and the idle drain is also very nice, no deep sleep issues. Now with aod off I loose over night 0% yes zero

I'm assuming that's using airplane mode or something no?
I'm liking sofar but I got spoiled by my last phone's battery (Mate 9) At least I'll be getting updates though! I have ambient display off and I have a watch connected and a bluetooth earpiece on about half the day. I haven't not kept on charge when I knew I was going to be away from the home for sometime but it does seem like it will get about 20-22 hours on the battery at my usage level. I'm happy with that.
I have been pleasantly surprised by my battery life with my 3a. Best battery life I've ever had on an Android phone, at least in recent memory.

Just dnd and wifi. Idk
I don't know what's going on but my battery drain is horrendous. Screen on drain is slower than screen off. I don't have any rouge apps or anything according to BBS. Adaptive battery is on. Ambient display off. Not sure wtf is going on here.

I see BBS in your previous post. Sorry missed that.
Really hope that someone can give you some help.

Try to deactivate wellbeing
I'm not shure if this could be your drain issue but on the Pixel 3 it does the trick

That was one of the first things I've done. Pretty much all these 'fun and useful' features I've turned off as my phone is 90% of the time in my pocket. I reinstalled Naptime and Greenify, to get it to doze faster.
I just flashed ElementalX Kernel, so we'll see if that helps any.
I don't know why you can used for 9hrs SOT, but I think the average SOT might be 6-7hrs in wifi condition, although it is common, but concerned about its 3000 battery, that's fine. Anyway, how is your setting for that
