Doze Stopper

Description of Doze Stopper App

Doze Stopper is an essential tool for users who wish to disable the Doze feature on their Android devices. Doze is a battery-saving feature introduced with Android 6 (Marshmallow) aimed at reducing battery usage by limiting apps' background activities. While this feature is beneficial for extending battery life, it can interfere with applications that require continuous background operation.

Purpose of Doze Stopper

This application disables the Doze feature, which can lead to increased battery consumption. Use Doze Stopper when you need to ensure uninterrupted background processes, such as regular server communication or maintaining location tracking even when the device is left idle.

Compatibility and Requirements

Doze Stopper is recommended for users running Android 11 or higher. For devices with Android 10 and below, an alternative solution called Doze Buster should be used instead. The app leverages the alarm functionality provided by the operating system to function effectively. On Android 13 and higher, it is crucial to grant the app permission for alarms; otherwise, the app will not work correctly.

Usage Scenarios

• Notification Troubles: Users might experience notifications from the app due to its regular wake-up intervals.
• Regular Communication: If you require constant communication with a server and the terminal is left unattended, this app ensures uninterrupted service.
• Location Tracking: Maintaining GPS tracking while the device is idle is another key use case where Doze Stopper comes into play.

How It Works

By waking up the device periodically, Doze Stopper circumvents the Doze feature's restrictions, allowing apps to continue running in the background. Users can monitor the effectiveness of the Doze feature through logging. To start disabling Doze, simply tap the "START Doze Buster" button. To track Doze activity, enable "Record Doze log".

Customization and Tips

Users have the option to adjust the wake-up interval. However, a longer interval might not be sufficient to fully disable Doze. It's advisable to start with a shorter interval and adjust as needed. If Doze still isn't disabled, consider turning off the "Adaptive Battery" feature in your OS settings, as this can sometimes improve Doze behavior.

Doze Stopper is an indispensable utility for users needing continuous background operations without the limitations imposed by the Doze feature.
