Sorry what is Doze and what is wrong with it? You don't get notifications on Android anymore?

It’s their battery saving feature of putting unused apps into a deep sleep state, the problem is it’s quite aggressive and for some of the apps like Gmail they don’t deem it as a high priority app to allow notifications for emails to be pushed instantly no matter what battery saving features you turn off.

What would happen is if you turned your screen off for about 5-6 minutes and send an email to an iOS and Android device, 9/10 times the iOS device will receive that notification instantly and in real time. It may take many more minutes/hours for the Android device to deliver it. Or if you unlocked the device you’d see say an email sent to you at 5am only arrive at 5:43 (when you checked your phone). It’s not just Gmail app but the overall behaviour of Android and Doze. You’d often find yourself receive a flood of notifications from apps only once you’ve unlocked your phone. Quite frustrating as this is a basic functionality I’d expect a phone to carry out with no issues.

Check if it’s still visible in settings. Backs up your phone basically gets it ready for a move to new phone. Essentially they give you temporary “unlimited” cloud storage for the move and that’s it.

Gone from settings, but I've turned on phone backup and hoping it will be less than the 10gb I have remaining on my 50gb iCloud storage anyway. Is that all it does? I'll have this phone when new one arrives Friday anyway.

EDIT: 7.4gb. Also gave me an excuse to go through and delete a load of photos on iCloud. Anything else to do apart from just backing up the phone right before I turn the new one on?

High end phones these produce really nice quality images, and as long as its a high end phone then I'd say a phone camera quality is far superior to a bog standard camera, even a decent point and shoot for example like the Sony DSC-HX99 which I've had the image quality is crap, noisy and smeared images in details like grass, the 14 Pro Max, hell even the 12 Pro Max produced cleaner images with less noise and no mushy details.

If you want a decent dedicated camera then a DSLR type camera is the only step up but then you have to carry an enormous amount of extra bulk around which I used to, only use iPhones as my main camera these days as the image quality is way more than enough for most situations.

Your camera must be very old. Even the entry level mirrorless cameras on sale right now (which are highly portable unlike DSLR which no one uses anymore) absolutely and utterly blow the iPhone 14 Pro Max out the water in image quality.

What you’re probably looking at is the extremely aggressive post processing the iPhone does which leaves unedited photos straight off a camera looking relatively flat.

The latest iPhones are fantastic bits of kit for capturing life moments but I hate to say this if you genuinely think they’re better than dedicated cameras on sale today then you’re falling victim to the Apple marketing machine.

I think that’s it really. It should restore from that backup when you start the proceeds.

Agreed.

Phones do well for Simple point and shoot work and upload to social media. great at it. Any pictures actually requiring detail and it’s a different story.

Honestly a really good idea from Apple. When I used to work at Voda moving phones for people was a complete pain as they had always run out of iCloud storage

I see. And why doesn’t iOS have to do this as it sounds like a battery saving feature? Is Android battery life that bad that they need this feature?

That's one of the positives of operating in a closed garden, compared to open gardens in Android. Pros and cons got both.

Thanks. But what is it about Android that means Doze is needed?
Click to expand...
When you have an OS which is targeted to a specific hardware setup (Apple) optimisations can be made. When you have multiple configurations of hardware to consider optimisations are harder to make as you have a larger number of hardware configurations to consider.

Doze is probably Android's way of attempting to improve optimisations which does not affect hardware directly.

EDIT LIE and Broken Hope have given a more detailed answer. :)

It was one of the reasons I got the 512GB model of the iPhone 13 Pro Max but I never really did much video work so it was a bit of a waste of money for me. Next phone I get will be 256GB.

They really should make the base storage 256gb for the pro. There can’t be that much of a “loss” if they did and kept the opening price of $999 for it.
