Android Doze helps handsets get smarter with battery power
2015-05-28
in the spirit of improving the core
experience we're changing android and em
to be smarter about managing power
through a new feature we call doze now
many of us have bristi users patrons
with our devices especially with tablets
for example you might leave your tablet
on your coffee table or your night stand
all day only to pick it up and use it to
read a book or watch a movie in the
evening when M Android uses significant
motion detection to learn if a device
has been left unattended for an extended
period of time in that case you will
exponentially back off background
activity to go into a deeper sleep stage
so what we're doing is we're trading off
a little bit of freshness for longer
battery life and we call it dozing
because while the device is asleep it's
still possible for the device to trigger
real-time alarms or to respond to
incoming chat requests through high
priority messages so how well does this
work well we took to Nexus nines and we
put lollipop and one and M on the other
and then we loaded both up with the same
account and lots and lots of
applications we put the two devices
side-by-side and measured power and I'm
happy to say that we're seeing devices
with an lasting up to two times longer
and stand by
