The battery life on Android Marshmallow running on Nexus 5 post this processĪndroid Doze is the latest battery saving method available on Android Marshmallow by default. Project Volta didn’t really make wonders to the battery life hence Google introduced Android Doze. Smartphone manufacturers like HTC and Samsung have been doing this for a long time now by shutting down unnecessary processes, slowing down refresh rates, slowing down to CPU and even disabling data in some cases. On the backend, a Job Scheduler API was used to schedule the processor time each app would do to minimize consumption.

Project Volta was introduced in Android Lollipop as an attempt to reduce the battery drain on smartphones. Google has acknowledged the battery problem on Android devices and we have seen multiple attempts from them to fix it.
