Doze is an application designed to enhance the battery performance of your Android device. It achieves this by restricting certain applications from utilizing data while your device screen is off.

App Functionality

The majority of applications running in the background continue to use data even when your device's screen is switched off. This could be via WiFi or 3G/4G and inevitably leads to significant battery drain. Doze mitigates this issue by preventing specified apps from using battery power in this manner.

One of the key benefits of Doze is its customizability. For instance, you may wish to allow certain apps to continue running so that you receive important notifications, such as those from WhatsApp or Gmail. However, there may be other apps that you do not use frequently or deem non-essential. These are the ones you could restrict through Doze.

Customization Options

Doze provides several customizable options in the settings. You can choose to disable Doze when your device connects to a WiFi network or when you plug in your device to charge it. This flexibility allows users to optimize their device's battery usage based on their specific needs and circumstances.

Compatibility

Doze is particularly beneficial for those using Android versions prior to Lollipop, as these versions do not have any built-in options to conserve battery power. However, regardless of the Android version you are using, Doze offers a wealth of useful features that can help prolong your device's battery life.

In conclusion, Doze is an excellent app for those looking to optimize their Android device's battery performance. Its user-friendly interface and customizable features make it a highly effective and versatile tool.

Pros

  • Enhances battery performance by restricting data usage of specified apps
  • Offers customizable options to suit individual needs
  • Beneficial for all Android versions, particularly those prior to Lollipop

Cons

  • Requires manual selection of apps to restrict, which may be time-consuming
  • May inadvertently block important app notifications if not properly configured

An update with bugs fixed. Enjoy Doze!

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
