Marshmallow Doze Feature? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Am I missing something? I thought the marshmallow update was supposed to come with doze feature. Is there no feature for our phones or do I need to factory reset my phone now after the update??

What is the "doze" feature?
The update nearly bricked my phone. I had to wipe cache and then use Smart Manager to delete useless files. For hours my phone was running very hot and kept rebooting every 5 minutes. Lots of reboots later, it fixed itself. I guess a 1.3GB update kept installing in the background or something, not sure.

It runs in the background...
Taking Control
Both the above systems work on their own when you use a device with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but you can meddle with things if you like. Doze is accessible in the settings under Battery > Overflow > Battery optimization. Here, you’ll see a list of apps that are exempt from Doze, which will probably just be Google Play Services and a few device-specific features. You can’t force these into Doze mode, but you can exempt other apps from Doze.
To disable Doze, use the drop-down at the top to switch over to the list of all apps. From there, you can pick any of them to exempt from Doze mode (Don’t optimize). You really only want to do this is an app isn’t working correctly in Doze. It could affect battery life negatively.

What do I do about cell standby? Never had the issue until after the update runs in background when idle at 53% or more.

Same here about the cell standby ,even with volte turned off is still there it take around 15% all the time of the battery and if the wifi is on it is more !

Have you done a factory reset to see if it helps with the cell standby issue? I'm thinking maybe that's what I should do as a final resort since wiping cache isn't really doing anything. I do agree WiFi seems to raise the cell standby even more. And now the android OS is also keeping the phone awake more so as well.

[Q] Battery drain on Note 2 after 4.3 update

Hello
I have had a massive battery drain problem on my Note 2, a couple of days after the 4.3 update. While being idle during the night it loses 25% to 30% of its battery and while using it I can literally see the percentage drop. I have tried everything that I could find on the net. EVERYTHING! Nothing worked. These included: Factory reset (twice), letting the battery frain completely and then recharging it while the phone was switched off, switching off all sync,disabling bloatware including KNOX components (the actual KNOX app is not installed), installing only a few apps after factory reset, using Gsam, Wakelock detector, Deep sleep battery saver (which could not make my phone sleep), no GPS, no 3G, wifi on only when needed and more besides.
The phone is only one year old and unrooted. On 4.1.2 it had a beastly battery performance of almost 1.5 days of normal to heavy use, with 300 apps on it. Now it cannot go for more than a few hours with the same use.
I cannot say for sure but it seems to me that the drain is the same when it is sleeping and when I am using it. Wakelock has given me a 75% awake time even though I only use it for 15-20% of the day at most nowadays. Battery settings show everything normal, or at least I think so, eg Screen 35%, Android OS 15-28%, Voice calls 10%, Android system 5-15%, Cell standby 7%, Device idle 4%, Media server 4%. The batttery chart shows a constant steep drop all the time.
The problem started one day when the Media server went mad consuming 50% of the battery. After I did the factory reset it has never again been a problem but the drain still persists.
I have also read that it's a mess up between syncing of Samsung apps and Google services, but I have no way of verifying that.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I had the very same problem until yesterday myself but think I found a solution on the web.. Uninstall Google Search and Google Play Services and the goto the Play Store and wait for them to reinstall and that's it....! As I found that there is a bug in Google Services (Nlpwakelock and Location service)
Hope this helps...?

Download wakelock detector from the play store. It detect which app is waking your device (both screen and cpu) by list.. Then download greenify from the play store and herbinate (greenify) upper most apps from wakelock detector. Hope you can solve your problem

Thanks. I already have Wakelock Detector on. I mistakenly wrote "defender" instead of detector on the original post. It gives me Viber and Messenger as the most active wakelock apps. But they both were not installed when the problem started. Besides, on the 4.1.2 they created no problems. In essence I believe that Wakelock Detector cannot help much. Whatever this problem is , it is well hidden. Thanks for your interest and help anyway. Much appreciated.

Which kernel you are using? And also i recommend using Greenify. Widgets usually eat a lot of battery, I went from battery lasting only 8 hours to get my battery use only 30% in 8 hours.
What i did: installed wakelock detector, gsam battery monitor and better battery stats.
Monitorized the wakelocks.
Applied greenify to the apps which were waking most
Removed widgets which were waking alot
Installed Toggle 2G.
Kernel settings: 200-1600mhz | zzmoove | AFTR+LPA | Multicore power saving (SCHED_MC) = 0 | GPU = stock settings
Works like a charm for me. Hope it helps! Any question, ask!
I've read all sorts of things about this problem since I updated and got hit. I have too much app data to lose by trying the factory restore (which by all accounts shouldn't change anything anyway since you'd still be stuck with 4.3)
I finally decided to try the age old blackberry cure-all: "if in doubt, pull it out" (the battery). Since the entire issue seemed to be related to battery caused problems (ie slow charging, fast drain, etc) it made a lot of sense.
And it worked.
I think the main reason this isn't more commonly tried to fix issues on Android is the same reason I didn't try it earlier. My case is pretty serious and isn't easy to remove. I'm glad I did take the time to take the case off though or I could have ended up wiping my phone.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have already taken the battery on and off several times. It had no improvement. The phone is only a year old, that is why I don't believe the battery is the culprit. Besides, problems started only after the 4.3 update. Before that it was working perfect. Too much of a coincidence.
Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you
I'm not saying the battery is faulty in any way - however removing the battery and letting the phone power drain completely seems to stop whatever process is running under the buggy 4.3 long enough for it to work again as intended. It's basically just a more thorough way to reboot.
As I said, I've read all sorts of suggestions, many of which don't work for everyone (such as the factory reset) - this is hopefully just one more thing for people to try before they end up wiping their phone in desperation. I mainly posted here in the hopes that others with this issue that may not be forum members can get some more suggestions.
At least for me, wakelock and all the other diagnostic tools at my disposal showed nothing different to before the update. Many other people have found that the Android System is using a lot more of their battery than normal or some other apps are involved - if this is the case, it's likely to be a combination of things causing the issue (the firmware, the drivers, apps, hidden Samsung processes, etc).
Also, for what it's worth, I found that Knox supposedly wasn't installed (when I find it in the apps list, the button to install it is showing...). But it's showing in the list of apps so it must already be installed. I dug through the list of running processes (had to show the system processes too) and I discovered that several Knox and some other new Samsung processes were indeed running.
One other quick tip - If you wanted to check/tweak the 'developer options' and can't seem to find it any more, that's because it's now hidden since 4.2 - go to 'About Device' and tap 7 times on the Build Number. I tried disabling all background processes however it seems this only disables application level processes, not system level processes but if you've tried everything else, it can't hurt to try playing around with some of the options in there.

Thanks mate
I think you are right. It is probably a combination of many things. I have opened the Developer options some time back. The one thing that I do for sure in there is limit background processes to 4. Besides that I don't experiment much, exept maybe to change transition animation scale. I am actually thinking of rooting the phone and downgrading to 4.1.2. It was just fine before. I can live without the 4.3 add ons.

The only battery apps on my phone are the 3 mentioned above, so I don't know what the battery monitor that keeps my phone awake is. The drain existed before I installed these apps. I have read that Chrome could prevent the phone from going to sleep but it is disabled on my phone.

I faced same battery drainage issue, after installing wanam kernel and freezing all bloatwares through Titanium Backup. I'm satisfied with my battery now.
You can try.

Here is detail-
Disable sync always, enable when needed.
Disable wifi always scan from settings
Display set to auto
Uninstall apps of playstore you rarely use
Use widgets on lock and homescreen as less as you can (I don't use any)
Disable motion on settings
Freeze all bloatwares by TB except allshare and samsung content agent
Install Agni kernel, from agni control app-
profile: normal
Governor: pegasusq
Scheduler: cfq
Don't touch other tweaks, hardly you can tweak sound boost.
THIS GIVES ME A SATISFIED BATTERY STATUS.

Terrible Battery after bootloader unlock

Hey guys. So I just got the Virgin mobile model (a5chl) last week, and of course, I had to root. So, to accomplish this, I had to unlock the bootloader. I noticed thereafter my battery life was dreadful. I maybe get a 5 hour medium use period, and I use wifi most of the time. I am using battery save mode too. Would flashing the stock RUU fix this?
Thanks,
the_Victorian
Edit: This is regardless of ROM or recovery, as I have been using Cyanogenmod Nightlies for a few days, But am currently on stock.
Please anyone? I would greatly appreciate any help...
Use Greenify to check which apps are using your device to ask for constant internet access. Some apps do this every few seconds such as Facebook and its Messenger along with quite a few others.
Using Greenify will help you find these data requesting/power using apps and if your using power saver make sure everything is checked and go into your developer options-advanced and check Disable HW Overlays to allow real smoothness.
Still have battery problems? Use Battery Calibration by NeMa.
Doing these simple things took maybe 4-5 minutes and I get a day at least in battery life with medium/heavy usage.

So I looked at my battery usage, and apparently YouTube and Netflix together use about 50% of my battery. I use them a good bit, but that seems awfully high. Is that normal?

Android System always higher ?

Guys got my OP3 few days back but what I'm noticing is that after 2-3 days that my Android System is higher then Screen usage which wasn't before. Never facing this kind of drain before on OP3 or on my Nexus 5 that I used to use before. Is there anything unusual? I'm attaching screenshot of better battery stats also please do look into them.
Anyone ?
I had the same issue resulting in terrible battery life since Android System was constantly working the CPU. It's probably due to the Oxygen OS kernel. I sent back my unit and asked for a replacement because I didn't want to install a custom ROM on a brand new phone just yet.
Same issue here, Android System uses more battery than my screen. Also it looks like the phone was awake all night tonight with screen off, so I had more standby drain.
This is most likely due to an app that has a rogue process running in the background constantly keeping gms awake. Try clearing data for the play store and turning off sync for any apps you have. See the drain overnight and report back.
Same problem here... "Android-System" is consuming the highest amount of all my other apps ...
My OP3 has a lifetime of about 6-8 hours ...
Yeah even it's the same for me... Even did a factory reset but didn't help

when you turn off auto sync, does whatsapp still work without having to manually sync every now and then? afaik, most of the social apps rely on this sync to function properly and having to manually sync every time for whatsapp or twitter would defeat its purpose.

Whatsapp doesn't use sync to fetch messages. Sync is for syncing contacts on Whatsapp
guys try disabling ambient mode and see if that lowers the android system drain.
i'm checking it myself on my op3
That does not work for me. I have everything disabled - daydreams, ambient, proximity wake, Google now, now on tap, auto sync, oneplus launcher but android system continues to take up more battery even when the screen is off.
The Opskin package is included in Android system, maybe rendering the ui drains more battery
I think I fixed this by disabling "location" and/or "location determination" (DE: Standortbestimmung)

Insane battery graphs consistently

I have been having these kinds of battery graphs since very long time. Using stock oos 4.0.3 without root and have locked bootloader.
I tried cleading data of google play & service' apps and even cleared cache from recovery. Disabled the hibernation feature in battery settings and enabled doze from developer options. This made no effect. So switched back to default settings again.

Phone doesn't doze' properly. It stays awake even when am not using it and drains battery a lot. I have seen phone getting warm several times even when it's just lying. SOT is very poor considering i have not changed my usage scenario and have given a lot of time for the OS to settle properly as well..
Here's another screenshot just after i woke up. Phone was chraged upto 98% when i went to sleep and it came down to 65%

Your phone is awake most of the time. Install BBS from its thread in XDA, learn how to produce idle logs in BBS and post one in the BBS thread.
Mind you, on Nougat, there is not much option for controlling alarms/wakelocks except using Greenify and MyAndroidTools. No Xposed and so no Amplify.

Yes i have enabled the aggressive doze and about the facebook draining, i think it is not from facebook because i rarely use it and it appears rarely in battery stats.
Here are some screenshots from BBS:
Custom one is when in the evening i had set the custom ref. after clearing all recent tasks. Check these if get something from these. I don't see any deep sleep stats any given time

You need to get an idle dump of at least 6 hours along with screenshots of the battery and battery history page of Settings. These screenshots are not going to help anyone to analyze your issue.
install logcat and see if it spams same error message over and over.

mlp consuming battery after software update

Anybody know what this app is for?

Depending on when you installed the update it may take a short bit for things to stabilize. Until they do things like this could happen.
MLP is the com.samsung.mlp app and is made by Samsung. It functions as a Mobile Location Protcol, serving as an intermediary between a location access server and a location based application.
I doubt that this is the cause of your battery drain issues, as a location based app on your phone has to trigger the MLP process. I would try to figure out what app your using is requiring access to your location the most and either disable it or allow the phone to put it to sleep. This way when your not using it the app won't keep triggering the MLP.

The forum does not let me to upload images but before the update, my battery usage says that mlp has consumed 1.1% of battery from 100% to ~15%. But now from 100% to 40% of battery, mlp has consumed 14.7%. There is no new app after I updated the software. I'll try to find out which app is requiring access to my location and triggering the MLP.

Excluding what the battery usage app is saying, what is your usable time compared to what it was before the update? Have you installed anything shortly before the update or after the update? Are you using the phone more then you were before and what is it your doing with the phone... Are you listening to music more often, using social media apps more often, games like pokemon go or other gps enabled games or anything that uses Geofencing or location awareness?
Of all the location enabled apps on my phone 57.9% of my battery was used since last charge. Of which the most use was by Google Play Services, followed by Messaging, Android System, Total Launcher and then Maps.

Before the update I used to get ~7 hours of screen. Now I'm just getting arround 4 hours. I'm using my phone as I normally used to (social media, email, news, maps, etc). I don't play games in my phone. I have not installed anything last month. I installed the software update 3 days ago. I could show you the battery usage app but the forum doesn't let me to add links or attach images.
I normally leave the phone connected in the night and disconnect in the morning. The phone could last all day without connecting to the charger.
Right now, my phone is in 15% and the app is saying that mlp has consumed 22.6%. Just 3h 45m screen on time.

Ok, here is a link where you'll find 2 captures. One shows the battery usage before the update, and the other shows the battery usage after the update.
Note: I do not use my phone while is charging.
You could try clearing the cache on the MLP app (if possible), clearing the cache via recovery menu, seeing if an update was released on galaxy store or factory data resetting the phone.
About the only things I can think of that would be of help. I know it's not much, but it's a starting point.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have forced stop the mlp app in App info (I don't know why I didn't think about this before). When I get there I discovered that the app that was triggering MLP is Gallery stories. Is a samsung app, I do not use that app and I don't know what it is so I disabled it. After that, MLP is no longer consuming my battery.
That's good to hear... Galaxy Stories was always present on the phone and is tied into the gallery app. You may have enabled it (or it was already enabled), but you can turn off stories by going to gallery settings and toggling off the two options for it.
