Hi all,
ForceDoze allows you to forcefully enable Doze right after you turn off your screen, and on top of that, it also disables motion sensors so Doze stays active even if your device is not stationary while screen off. Doze will only deactivate periodically to execute maintenance jobs (like getting notifications, etc), otherwise it will remain fully active as long as your screen is off. This brings a lot more battery savings than standard Doze functionality, because even with screen off and Doze enabled, Doze is still periodically checking for movement, and disabling motion sensing improves battery life further.
Features:
Force enable Doze right after screen off
Disable motion sensors so Doze doesn't periodically poll the sensors to check if the device is stationary or not. This provides an additional boost to battery life
Whitelist apps so they don't get suspended or disabled when Doze mode is active
Doze battery stats: Shows you all the times your device has entered/exited Doze mode, and how much battery was available during those times. It will only work when ForceDoze service is turned on
Tasker support so you can now send com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze.DISABLE_FORCEDOZE broadcast intent to disable the ForceDoze service, or com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze.ENABLE_FORCEDOZE to enable the ForceDoze service
Tasker support for adding/removing apps from the Doze whitelist, so you can send com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze.ADD_WHITELIST broadcast intent along with packageName as the key and the package name you want to add as the value, in Extras. To remove the app from the whitelist, send the com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze.REMOVE_WHITELIST broadcast intent along with packageName as the key and the package name you want to remove as the value, in Extras. So for example, in Tasker, you can set Action as one of the intents above, and in Extras, add packageName:com.your.packagename and then save the task
Enable Doze mode on your device if your device OEM has disabled it (experimental)
No-root mode so you can use this app without root privileges (Requires you to execute an ADB command from your PC to grant it the android.permission.DUMP permission, instructions inside app and app description on Play Store)
Force Doze is a free & open-source app, so you can grab the app and the source code from:

Frequently asked questions:
Auto-rotate/brightness doesn't work after turning on the device
Please turn on Auto-rotate/brightness fix in settings and restart the ForceDoze service. If that doesn't work, turn on "Don't disable sensors on screen off" in app Settings instead
I have trouble getting push notifications from apps (ex: GMail)
Only high-priority push notifications are delivered to the app while the device is in Doze mode, normal-priority notifications (ex: from Gmail) are delivered during the Doze maintenance window or when you wake up the device. This is an OS restriction and there's nothing that can be done about it
My device doesn't turn on and I have to restart my device to fix
This is most probably being caused by disabling motion sensors, pretty common on LG devices. To fix, turn on "Don't disable sensors on screen off" in app Settings and restart the ForceDoze service
The app doesn't work properly for some reason
If you're rooted, then make sure SU requests made by the app aren't getting denied by the SU app on your phone. Your SU app will occasionally prompt you to grant or deny SU access to ForceDoze and if you deny or ignore the dialog, then the app will not work properly and will fail to do certain things, like re-enabling sensors after exiting Doze or turning off Doze properly after screen on
Please let me know if you spot any bugs or unwanted behavior, or would like me to add more features to the app!
Gotta try this!
I suppose you have already tested it before?
What are the results?

If I'm correctly interpreting the OP, it isn't. Greenify does use the sensors, while this app isn't.

I don't think whitelisting Play Store will work, but you can try adding com.android.vending to the app whitelist. I don't know why that happens, try clearing Play Store cache or force stopping it, and make sure your internet connection is active and working, that could also be a reason why
@ssrij I downloaded & installed the 1.0.8 apk. When I open the app, it says 1.0.7.
Do you know when a scrolling list of whitelist apps will be available?

is it possible to get tasker to automatically turn on GPS when when screen is on, and turn off GPS when the screen is off(or the device is locked)
i tried for about 2 hours yesterday and ended up giving up the most i could get it to do is just toggle the location settings
are you trying to duck NSA surveillance or increase battery life? because getting that working would accomplish neither.

You will need secure settings plugin to do that, but yes, it should be possible.
I have a profile that enables GPS (active) only when I launch maps, and disables GPS (switch to battery saving mode in 4.4) when I exit maps.
In my case, disabling active GPS (i.e.. keep it in battery saving mode) helped random wakelocks from location reporting etc, Maps (navigation) is the only app that I use that needs active GPS. I don't have any other app that absolutely needs to have GPS coordinates for me.
Please use thread titles.

If location is set to Battery saver mode, that should not cause battery life degradation. But if it is, then 'disabling GPS' is not what you want to do - you want to see how to disable location reporting entirely (exactly as what your updated title indicates).
I don't think secure settings has been updated to support that feature in 4.4 - but hopefully other forum members will have suggestions.

i dont know what to tell you then. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551846 shows tons of people with this issue
it doesn't drain battery while my phone is on and active. but when i lock the screen at night to sleep, my phone gets hardly any deep sleep mode. i took a shower yesterday and these two services woke my device up 96 and 44 times within a 20 minute span
i have already tried disabling location reporting and location history. this did not fix anything while my device was locked. it still had hundreds of wakeups at night
and i believe you're right. i dont think secure settings works with 4.4 either this is the issue i've been running into, i believe

It does work, but you first have to install the alternative helper in settings. Then Location Services will be enabled and you can turn it on and off when you want.

Hi guys. I am trying to use Automate for Android to do some simple tasks based on location. I have set the Automate app to stay open when screen lock and to be excluded from the battery optimization via the Special Access setting. However, Automate stops working if I leave my phone for a while. I assume its because of the Android Doze feature.
Has anyone got Automate to work?

have you tried turning off Settings - Battery - Settings icon top right - Close excessively power-intensive apps?
It shouldn't really be power intensive... but it's huawei so you never know...
There was a bug in C432B193 (?), and firmware released at the same time for other custs, which closed apps you were using in the foreground too, turning that option off fixed it so you could just test.

Thank you for the reply. I've tried that as well. Seems like Automate cant be made to work reliably with Huawei. I am going to go back to Tasker to see if I have better luck.

I had the very similar problem with tasker, it used to turn off because of something that I didn't knew, later after selecting don't optimise in the battery settings the Tasker remain in the background and it worked as it should be working.
Did you turned on anything in developer settings that limits the background activity?

No I've not touched developer settings. I've noticed that the "don't optimize" setting keeps flipping back to optimise, that's probably why it's being killed all the time.
Another thing I've noticed, Google play music doesn't show in the list of apps under battery optimization so I can't even switch that off.

Hello,
I have a GPS mock location app that keeps getting killed by doze and I want it to run until I stop it myself. I have excluded it from restrictions and battery optimization in settings but it keeps getting killed after a few minutes the screen goes off. I also have NapTime installed but I don’t know how to whitelist it there. If I can whitelist it there does anybody know how to?
Is Naptime causing it to be killed or that’s just oxygen OS ? In my nougat Samsung the app kept running until I stopped it myself.
Just remove them from being optimized.... Battery>battery optimization>then show all apps and tap on what you don't want killed and tap do not optimized

Battery Optimization always turn off my MicroG and Volume Style
Detail:
I Use MicroG for Vanced, and Volume Style for swipe volume. (I like these two apps very much for several years) Then need to turn off battery optimization. I choose to not optimize. Then it will always back to optimize. Every day, every time I should find these two apps, and set to not optimize.
Open app setting and turn off battery saver too, still the same.
Is it because of MIUI Optimization ? is it okay to turn it off? Or I just have to give up using those two apps anymore :crying:?
you can turn off MIUI optimization. try enable microG in autostart. and disable Miui battery saver in microG. recomend use MIUI eu for this youtube vanced for better experience.

You don't need to turn off MIUI optimization. What's basically happening is that Microg doesn't request the proper app permissions for it to run on background smoothly. Even if you manually grant it the required permission i.e. Allow_in_power_save, it won't work, since it doesn't use it and MIUI requires it to be set to specify what to do. In short if you are worried about functionality then don't be. And if the notification bothers you, you can turn it off like in screenshots below.

I get it, so it means MicroG will still function well even though the notification appeared.
And what about function in Volume Style that always turn off because it back to optimize even I've already make it not optimize. Is there any suggestions what I have to do ?
seems MIUI battery settings seem to revert back after a while for "important apps" - such as Nova launcher for example.
i have optimisation off in developer settings, but no matter how many times i set specific apps to "no restriction" , MIUI 12 just reverts back after a little while.

Try setting all buckets to active*; if they're not already locked to active, power management is active.
Find the app causing this and deal with it directly.

For those wondering (this thread is a top match via Google), the solution is to simply enable the app icon in microG settings. You can get to settings via YouTube Vanced. Then MIUI will treat it like a standard app, allowing you to disable battery optimisation and it will persist across reboots.

This is how it should appear if global power management is disabled. Although the bucket shows all buckets as active, many are not and not using battery or any resources like ApkExport or Autostarts which weren't in the memory cache at the time this screen shot was taken.
