Force Doze apps that work well

[jejb]

The battery life on my Note8 is pretty good, about the same as my S7E. But I would like to make it better. Some days, I really don't use my phone much so I'd like to have Doze ignore motion sensors to wake it up. If I'm walking around, etc, I don't want that to wake it up.

The last time I messed with force doze apps was with my Nexus 6P. Almost a requirement for that phone since it seemed like every new security or software release screwed up at least one apps ability to behave in doze. And they did make a big difference in battery life. But what I noticed using several of the doze apps to force doze was that they'd put it in such deep sleep that alarms, calendar notifications, etc would get delayed, sometimes quite a bit. That never seems to happen with the stock OS, even if the phone has been sitting untouched on a desk for several hours.

Maybe there is no avoiding those issues with a force doze app, but figured I'd ask to see if anyone has discovered an app that does not have those drawbacks.

Why not just put apps you dont need notifications for to sleep? I have a ton of apps on always sleeping. I avg 7 to 8hrs of sot

I agree except I've been getting even more SOT. I had 7 and a half hours SOT with 38% battery remaining a couple days ago with WiFi on the entire day (not sure how many hours I would have gotten if I ran it down to 10%). I've been religiously closing all recent apps before putting my phone in my holster and have increased my battery life dramatically (not sure why since this has never helped on any other phone I've had).

I put many apps to sleep also. Most screen on time I can get is 5-6 hrs. I don't know how are you averaging 7-8 hours. Kinda hard to believe. You only have the screen on and wifi off? lol With use, I don't see how..

I'm a pretty heavy user. Using groupme, browser, Twitter, couple games, other various apps. You can read about it all here https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=837416

While trying to help someone ended up improving my battery life

I do have every app sleeping that I can, and I also very regularly close all apps. I also dump my cache in Storage and in the recovery menu weekly.

But what I'm really interested in is my original question.

I downloaded Greenify yesterday, and did the ADB commands to allow it to work. I'll see how it behaves, and if it really does anything for me.
