Android 6.0 Marshmallow was an incremental update but it brought some entirely great\u00a0under the hood changes, similar to the cool Doze Mode. For people unaware, the Doze mode is a battery optimization feature, which is automatically turned on when your device is idle. It\u00a0works in the background\u00a0to minimize CPU\u00a0and network usage and therefore, save battery.<\/p>\n

So, even if you have your device locked in your pocket, Doze mode won\u2019t be enabled because the motion sensors will identify that the device isn\u2019t idle.<\/p>\n

How to force Doze mode on devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The Doze mode is all set to gain some improvements with the\u00a0Android N, with\u00a0the ability to turn on when a screen has been off for a long time but what if you want Doze mode to kick in\u00a0immediately after you have locked a device. The ForceDoze app is aimed at\u00a0rooted devices, the developer has been kind enough to bring a workaround for non-rooted devices. So, if you have a rooted device, you can just start the app and get going but\u00a0if you have a non-rooted device, here\u2019s how to do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Step 1:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Firstly, you will have to\u00a0install the app<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on your Android device. Also, you will have to download and install ADB on your Windows PC. You can download ADB, Fastboot and some Android\u00a0drivers\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Then, connect your Android device to the PC through a USB cable. Don\u2019t forget to\u00a0turn on USB Debugging in Settings->Developer Options<\/strong>. The adb.exe file will be located in the adb folder in C drive, so you will have to enter the commands with C:\\> in command prompt.\u00a0To check if\u00a0your Android device is connected, enter the command \u201cadb device\u201d<\/strong>, which should show you a list of devices attached. You might get a USB Debugging prompt on your Android smartphone, just make sure to \u201callow<\/strong>\u201d it.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Step 3:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Once your device is connected, open the ForceDoze app and tap on \u201cRoot Workaround<\/strong>\u201c, which will show you a command:\u00a0\u201cadb -d shell pm grant com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze android.permission.DUMP<\/strong>\u201c. Type\u00a0this command in command prompt and hit Enter, which should grant the app Android permissions required to force Doze mode.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

After you are done,\u00a0restart the ForceDoze app and you shouldn\u2019t see a root workaround prompt anymore<\/strong>, which means the app is ready to work. Then, just turn on the ForceDoze Service toggle, which should make sure that Doze mode is enabled on your device the moment you lock your device. It also disables motion sensing, so the system won\u2019t really know when a device is idle.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Here it\u2019s important to note that forcing Doze mode on your device may affect performance of some of the apps, since Doze mode\u00a0restricts network usage and CPU resources.\u00a0If we need an app to be unperturbed with\u00a0the Doze mode, you can head over to ForceDoze settings and add the app in \u201cWhitelist apps<\/strong> \u201c. \u00a0The app also brings you \u201cDoze battery stats<\/strong>\u201c, after you have used the app for some time.<\/p>\n
