I finally got the Marshmallow update on my GS5 this week. I was excited because I think Lollipop was unpolished and should never have existed - I love Android, but it had issues and wasn't a finished product. Marshmallow is what Lollipop should have been, and I'm impressed thus far...
I'm impressed thus far with Marshmallow's Doze, in particular. I'm a therapist, so my phone sits untouched for at least 1-hour at a time (each session). It was switching into Doze each hours, visibly evident when looking at my battery consumption stats under settings. [Note: even without Aggressive Doze, Greenify can be used to show you when normal doze is toggling on/off]. At some hour in the afternoon, I had 25 hours of battery left - pretty good IMO, granted I was also messing around with new Android features a bit that day as well.
I installed Greenify & figured out how to turn on Aggressive Doze last night, including setting up the Beta version. It seems to be taking about 15 minutes to turn on (based upon the notifications). I just checked my battery (2pm in the afternoon) and it says I have 3-days of battery left!
Now, 3-days is a ton, but I have to admit, I haven't had much time to play with my phone. Checked google news, read some texts, popped on the screen a few times to check the clock between meetings. So it hasn't been dozing all day, but I also haven't been working my phone hard.
What have you guys found? Does Aggressive Doze really make such a huge difference? I've heard some people say Aggressive Doze can use more battery in some situations - something about it checking the motion sensor more often? Is this possibly fixed in the Beta version of Greenify - I thought that version ignored the motion sensor or something?
