Doze Question

[Wildo6882]

I've noticed that when my phone sits around for awhile, some notifications come in as soon as I pick up my phone (Facebook, Gmail, theScore). If I change the settings to where these apps specifically are not battery optimized, will the notifications be pushed in real time, not just when I pick up the phone?

Been on an iPhone for awhile, so I'm just now learning how Doze works and what to do to make sure I get my notifications on time.

Are you on WiFi when this happens? Or does it also happen when there's no WiFi available?

I notice it on WiFi. But I have my WiFi set to always stay connected, even when the phone is idle.

yes, if you dont have the app battery optimized then they will show up in real time.

but be aware if that app is a poorly build app with battery drain issues then they will affect ur battery a bit

That's kind of what I figured. I'm sure Facebook would suck it down pretty good. But I do need them in real time. I use it for campaign information and I need to be able to respond quickly.

you could use facebook on chrome with notifications enabled or 3rd party app with facebook web wrap which will save some battery

If the problem doesn't occur on just a cellular connection then it sounds like there's some issue with WiFi suspending your connection (regardless of that setting), which would account for why you suddenly get notifications when you wake the device up.

I'd suggest a logging app that will track when these notifications arrive (you can compare that with when they're sent), or one that logs the state of the network connection, to see if it is indeed being paused. I'll look around to see if there's something that fits the bill.

Here are a few notification loggers and one network logger:

I haven't tried these myself but the feature set should allow you to capture enough data to see what's going on, and they all had good reviews.
