What Android phone can disable doze mode ? Doze mode ruining my work...

[NichoMarpaunk]

Hello, just straight forward, ever since android 6.0 come and introduce doze, i always keep getting problem with notifications...

Kinda random actually, sometimes it arrives on time, sometimes its delayed 5-10 mins, sometimes its 1 hour+, or sometiems i didnt receive it at all... the most common occurence is when i unlock my phone suddenly notifications (mainly from gmail) flooded but actually it have been received some times ago...

if im playing with my phone i rarely get this problem...

i have tried several brands like lenovo, asus, and xiaomi and at some point i experienced notification problems on ALL of those phones..

i even root and flashed custom roms but to no luck, the problem still persist. i also tried an app by boeffla "doze control" but still no luck also...

im sure this is because of the "Doze" feature... because when i am using android phone thats still android lollipop im 100% sure i never ran into this kind of problems, before marshmallow i always get 100% notification correctly...

and yes, i have disabled battery optimization on every single application on my phone...

sometimes i didnt get email or importnat chat so i have to refresh those apps like everytime to make sure i dont miss notification...

Anyway my question is does anybody know what android phone today has the feature to COMPLETELY disable doze ?... i dont care about battery life.. whats the point of longer battery if my phone is non-functional...

If anyone know it please let me know, thanks before

Doze Mode

HI,
Did you ever get the delayed notification issue resolved?
I am having the same problem.
I am trying everything humanly possible to sort this out, otherwise I'll have to switch to iphone as notifications are instant with it. I wont be happy at all if I have to do that as Apple just doesn't nearly have the apps that android has but getting instant notifications is most important.
Just curious if you found something out.

Thanks

It's due to the devises you are getting. All 5he ones you listed are mid tier devices that have crap hardware. So they have to make changes to the software to make the battery last. The only way to stop it is to make a custom rom yourself for the device.

Thanks for the idea, but I'm using the Bullhead(Nexus5X), which is one of _Google_ devices and it does exactly the same. Meaning: higher version of Android, better the Doze is working and it is harder to an application to push notifications thru. On AOSPExtended (9/Pie) I've got a "record" 43 minutes before a GMail notification was shown... While on 4.4 (well before 6.0 when Doze was implemented) it is always < 3min.
Where you could help is to mention of where in Android ROM the Doze actually located? Kernel, vendor, System ?

That is the rom devs doing that and the nexus 5x is a very old nexus and hasn't been officially supported for a few years. So the devs ha e to make hacks to make it work.

Doze is terrible. I personally disable it

Good idea, indeed. Which of the ways you used, pls?

If you have an unlocked bootloader then I do it in the OS. If kot then go into apps and (this will take a while) but then make sure each app is not using battery optimization. This will disable doze for the most part.

As you said you had a 5x then I would build your own this way you know the rom dev is not over writing your selections.

In stock (8.1) and especially AOSPExtended (9) changing Battery Optimisation on app' level does not solve the issue, at least to my long testing experience.
Both tested GMail and WhatsApp are delaying notifications. WhatsApp IM notifications are a bit better, but WA missed calls are terrible - I've got them delayed for hours during day time (till next time unlock the phone).
GM new emails notifications are as bad as WA missed calls one.

Last couple of days testing disabling Doze completely ("dumpsys deviceidle disable"). It works, indeed, giving 5-8 min delay and without a noticeable battery time decline (<20%). But this requires 'root', which I was avoiding for last 2 years (due to security reasons). So searching for a better non-root way.

Are any ROMs have script scheduling plug-ins, which would allow to run init.d scripts without a need to have 'root' mode active all the time? The best would be, of course, to enable Doze over night and disable it during day ...

For android 6.0+ to get notification instantly try disabling doze mode by this command:

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
