Google Optimizes Android 15 Faster Doze Mode, Extended Standby Time

TapTechNews May 18th news, developer Mishaal Rahman published a blog post today, stating that Google has optimized the Android 15 system, and the speed of entering the 'Doze Mode' has increased by 50%, and the standby time has been extended by 3 hours on some models.

TapTechNews learned from the report that Rahman interviewed Dave Burke, vice president of Android platform engineering, and Sameet Samat, president of the Android ecosystem, at the I/O 2024 Developer Conference, and invited them to explain how the latest version of WearOS improves battery life.

Samat explained that the improvement in battery life involves many optimizations, and one example is to reduce the time required for the main application processor (AP) of the device to continue to sleep after being awakened to write some health data.

Samat said that WearOS 5 postpones more background tasks to when the watch is charging through adjustments, reducing the number of executions when worn on the user's wrist.

Then the three extended this topic to Android phones. Google has increased the time for devices running Android 15 to enter the 'doze' mode by 50%, and the battery standby time of some models has been extended by as long as 3 hours.

In the doze mode, the system will limit the access of applications to the system and CPU-intensive services to save battery usage time. It can also prevent recently unused applications from running in the background. In short, modifying the doze mode helps to extend the battery standby time of Android 15.
