Android (ZTE)
Manage Adaptive Battery / Battery Optimization Settings

Managing battery optimization settings on your ZTE device helps extend its battery life. These settings learn your usage patterns and restrict power to apps you use less often, reducing unnecessary battery drain.

Before you begin

Android™ devices with the battery optimization setting can enhance battery life by placing apps in Doze mode or App Standby.
The optimization setting is enabled by default. Disabling optimization may impact the device's battery life.
Optimization may cause certain apps, such as Voicemail, My Verizon, and Gmail, to stop functioning.

Battery Optimization Features

  • Doze Mode:
    • starts when the device is stationary and not charging and the screen is off.
    • prevents the device from syncing and accessing the network, Wi-Fi from scanning, etc.
    • allows SMS, MMS, phone calls, alarms, and Amber Alerts to still function.
    • stops when the device is moved, the screen turns on, or the alarm clock sounds/vibrates.
    • isn't affected by notifications.
  • App Standby:
    • conserves battery power by preventing apps from accessing networks, syncing, etc. when not in use or not generating any user-visible notification.
    • stops when the device becomes active or is plugged in.
