How to Disable Android Doze Mode Using ADB for Better Real-Time Notifications

Many Android users experience delayed notifications, especially on devices with aggressive battery-saving features. Messages from apps like Fiverr, Gmail, WhatsApp, Messenger, and other important services may not appear until the phone is unlocked.

One way to reduce notification delays is to temporarily disable Android's Doze Mode using ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

In this guide, you'll learn how to run the following command:

.\adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

What Is Android Doze Mode?

Doze Mode is a battery optimization feature introduced in Android. When your phone remains idle for a period of time, Android limits background activity to conserve battery life.

While this helps extend battery performance, it can also cause:

• Delayed notifications

• Late email delivery

• Slow message synchronization

• Background apps being restricted

Disabling Doze Mode can help apps stay connected and receive notifications more quickly.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need:

• A Windows PC

• A USB cable

• Android Platform Tools (ADB)

• USB Debugging enabled on your Android device

Step 1: Download Android Platform Tools

Download the latest Android Platform Tools package from the Android Developers website and extract it to a folder on your computer.

Step 2: Enable Developer Options

On your Android phone:

1. Open Settings

2. Go to About Phone

3. Tap Build Number seven times

4. You should see a message indicating that Developer Options have been enabled

Step 3: Enable USB Debugging

1. Open Settings

2. Navigate to Developer Options

3. Enable USB Debugging

Step 4: Connect Your Phone

Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.

When prompted on the phone, select:

• File Transfer (MTP)

If a USB debugging authorization dialog appears, tap:

• Allow

• Always allow from this computer

Step 5: Open PowerShell

Navigate to your Platform Tools folder.

For example:

C:\platform-tools

Open PowerShell in that folder.

Step 6: Verify Device Connection

Run:

.\adb devices

You should see output similar to:

List of devices attached
B5M5T18720004509    device

If you see "unauthorized," check your phone and approve the USB debugging request.

Step 7: Disable Doze Mode

Run the following command:

.\adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

If successful, you'll see:

Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled

This means Android's Doze Mode has been disabled.

What Happens After Disabling Doze?

Benefits may include:

• Faster push notifications

• Better background synchronization

• Reduced delays in messaging apps

• Improved reliability for Fiverr, Gmail, WhatsApp, and Messenger notifications

However, battery consumption may increase slightly because background apps can remain active for longer periods.

How to Re-Enable Doze Mode

If you want to restore the default Android behavior, run:

.\adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enable

Important Notes

• This change is temporary.

• On most devices, Doze Mode will be re-enabled after a reboot.

• Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, and other manufacturers may still apply additional battery restrictions even when Doze Mode is disabled.

• For the best results, also disable battery optimization and allow background activity for important apps.

Conclusion

Using ADB to disable Android Doze Mode is a simple way to improve real-time notifications and background app performance. While it is not a permanent solution, it can be very useful for users experiencing delayed alerts from important applications.

If your notifications continue to be delayed after disabling Doze Mode, check your device manufacturer's battery management settings, as these can impose additional restrictions beyond Android's built-in power-saving features.
