Doze - Is this a feature in the UK?

[Andy Bell]

Hi,

I left my phone off charge last night to see if the 'Doze' feature made much difference? It's didn't really. My phone used 12% while not being touched for 7 hours.

Is this normal or should I be saving more if my phone sits idle all night?

Thanks.

Sorry if this is a silly question... Is your device on Marshmallow?

Sorry, should have mentioned in my post, Yes, it updated around a week ago.

Ok, Doze is part of Marshmallow, however it's not super easy to tell if it is working or not without some investigation. My best recommendation is to install an app like GSAM Battery Monitor Pro or its free cousin GSAM Battery Monitor and within that app it tries to monitor periods where the device is reporting Doze. Here's an article that helps explain how and when it works, etc. Inside Marshmallow: What is Doze, how do I use it and what does it do? | Android Central
