Question How does the "Extreme Battery Saver" actually work? - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Im genuinely curious... Does it change the governor? Does the phone enter deep sleep faster? Why app notifications still get received but are not displayed until you unpause the app / exit extreme battery saver? How are the notifications even received if the app is "paused"? Im not able to find much detailed information online.

Everything almost gets shuts down

Some notifications come via Google Play Services and not the app directly.

Setting Profiles using 30% of my battery!?

I am getting decent battery life, but it seems strange that Setting Profiles would use 1/3 of it.
Any one else experience this? Or know a solution?
Thanks
when I change profile on my Nexus S and go back example default or any other profile my ringer for notifications stay at the lowest setting. Very strange, maybe because I'm using CM7 nightly.

Not sure what to make of your situation; however, out of curiosity, when you select Settings/About Phone/Battery use and click on "Settings Profiles", does a new window pop up to provide further info and if so, what info is provided?
Best Regards!
yes, right now it has used 24% of my battery, I get a new screen that says
Battery used by application 24%
Force Stop Report
CPU total 5m 7s
Keep awake 2h 47m 43s
stop or unistall the app
app info (button)
I just changed it to turn off the widget after a change, increased the rule scan periods location etc.
charging to 100% (or so) and pulling the battery to reset the clocks to see what I get. im not sure if this is recent with this device or it has been doing this since I got the nexus. I didnt see it on the Epic or Evo.
thanks

[Q] can tasker be automated to turn off location completely?

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.

Running apps being killed

As the title suggests, I keep finding apps that I'm using being killed, things like Google Music, tTorrent, and Sleep as Android all being closed while in use. I have selected "Don't Optimise" in the battery settings and "Advanced Optimization" is off.
Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?

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.

Weird settings should not revert on its own. I just checked mine and they are staying on what I had selected.
I am out of answers, I hope other members will help you out.
Same Thing here my Ring doorbell keep shutting itself off in deep sleep and won't give notifications

Delayed notifications until I check my phone

Hello,
I recently purchased the pixel 3, I've had it for less than a month. I couldn't resist the $300 off, and my OnePlus 3T was starting to show signs of it's age
One reason I switched was hoping notifications would be more reliable and on time, since I've read OnePlus severely restricts background services, and I would always get delayed notifications, even when I was using the phone!
But now with the pixel 3, if I'm away from my phone for a while, I won't get nearly any notifications, then when I go to check my phone just to see if I missed something, when I turn the screen on, immediately the notifications come in, and in one app for work, when I open the notification it tells me that the job is already gone. That's one way I know the notification was actually sent out waaaaay earlier
I've seen this before on the OnePlus, and I've read about it a lot, I think it has something to do with doze mode. On the OnePlus it was really easy to turn off doze mode(though OnePlus is so bad at this that I wonder if turning it off did anything), but that was Android Oreo and oxygen os. I can't even find a switch for doze mode in Android pie. It's not in developer settings, the closest thing I could find was adaptive battery, which is off. And I already set those important apps to have battery optimization disabled. Yet this keeps happening, as if doze mode is running on everything.
How do I turn off doze mode?? Or what can I do to get my notifications on time?? The work app I use heavily relies on that Google/firebase cloud messaging thing, and if I don't get notifications for new jobs on time, I pretty much miss out on a whole bunch of work.
Got any ideas?? Please help
Have you tried disabling Battery Optimisation for the apps which notifications are delayed?
For Android Pie it's in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Battery Optimisation, then change the filter to All apps and disable optimisation for each app you want to.
Turning off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Notifications are always delayed for an app like Gmail, even after battery optimization are turned off.

I have seen that happen especially when installing from a TB restore. Go into the app and disable notifications, and then re-enable them. If that doesn't work, delete and add the app back from the Play Store. That has worked for me in the past.

I never had to turn off battery optimization to have instant notifications for Gmail maybe check @sliding_billy 's tips

I will try that, even though I believe I've tried that before. I Started to use Outlook instead that gives me instant notifications.

Yeah, the new Outlook app is damn good. I don't use it for other accounts, but I use it for my outlook.com account that I have had literally since Microsoft launched Hotmail. Now that the Activesync works on the deleted folder (which it didn't for a long time), I rarely use my Gmail account for anything not coming from Google.

I've tried this before but it doesn't help. Something within Android is messing up the notifications really badly. It's like it's putting Android into a really deep sleep, and maybe the notifications are being received, but the system is not waking up the phone to tell you,
so they just linger around until you check your phone, only when you check the phone does the system all of sudden tell you that notifications had been received. It's so annoying!
Does this method still work on Android 10?

Any chance you have flip to shh on? Do not disturb when face down?
Do notifications come in with screen on?
I'm on my second pixel 3 (first one warrantied after it stopped charging randomly) and neither gave me trouble with notifications.
My dad disabled notifications rather than just dismissing them when I got him his first smart phone last year, but it sounds like you're a lot more savvy than that.
Someone mentioned a titanium backup, which I was happy to do on my op3, but part of the appeal to me of the pixel was a totally clean and Google-managed backup process. Are you on a stock install?
Any chance you are using a MVNO? I went years on a MVNO with no push/sync issues. Over the last year I developed notification issues. I switched multiple phones & carriers, the only way I could fix delayed notifications was to switch to a real carrier, that or use WiFi.
Turn off developer mode. It worked for me.

Three real-life problems about S10e

1- I couldn't figure out how to see the screen on time as after unplugging the phone. The Android 10 insists on showing daily screen time but I don't think it's relevant info regarding SoT.
2- There is a problem with sounds. I'm using Bixby routines and when I'm at work I adjusted the profile to make the phone silent. However, when I leave work and when the profile turns the sound on, the recent sound levels seem to gone and I have to adjust ringer and notification sounds manually. There is no a static level for sounds could be chosen whatsoever.
3- The last problem is about screen recorder. When screen recorder is on there isn't an option to hide notifications but there must be an option about this.

For the first one, I highly recommend AccuBattery app. It shows detailed charging/discharge statistics, as well as the battery health.
I couldn't understand why Samsung didn't add something like "Battery usage since last full charge" though.

I'm using GSam pro for this since Samsung's own app messed up with daily indicator crap.
