6. Sleep and application Standby mode (Doze and App Standby)

This release introduced a new power-saving optimization solution that works when devices and applications are idle. This feature affects all applications. Make sure that you test the feature properly.

Doze: After the phone has no external power and is placed on the screen for a period of time, the device enters sleep mode and the system enters sleep state ). In this mode, the device periodically restores normal operations for a short time so that the application can be synchronized, and the system performs some necessary operations.

App Standby: if you are not using an application, this mode allows the system to determine that the application is idle. The system determines that the user does not click this application for a certain period of time (mainly based on the frontend process ). If the device is not connected to the charger at this time, the system will disable the network connection, synchronization and task scheduling of the application.
