doze mode not working?

jack7825 — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 22:30:37 GMT

Z3 compact- 6.0.1.>>

it seems my phone never goes into doze mode. keeps losing about 2-3% every hours if just sitting idle during the day or over night. when I check the battery stats it shows that google play services and android are the only culprits to this affect.

the two above services are not allowed to be ''optimized'' in doze settings, so how can i resolve my phone not being able to go into doze mode?

Thanks.

Do you have auto update apps enabled? Google photo backup enabled?

Hello Uliwooly, and thanks for the quick reply.

Google Play is set to: never update apps''

Google photo and Google Drive are both disabled in settings.

Nope. both are disabled.

I have all Google apps disabled except Gmail.

drives me crazy why the doze mode won't kick in. any other suggestions?

What if you try Stamina mode instead?

Also, settings > apps > select those apps > uninstall the updates > restart the phone > update the apps > check again

I forgot to mention in my orignal post that I already unistalled the Google play update and updated. and the issue still persist.

as far as trying the Stamina mode, this is a no go for me. this new Stamina that was introduced in 6.0.1. is diffrent then what we had on LP, you can't get rid of the notification, and also brightness level goes down dramatically with no option to manually adjusting to higher level of brightness.
