Recently I got a new phone and immediately had trouble with my notifications coming in on time. Emails, calendar alerts, even alarms were being delayed up to 15 minutes....
Stupid me thought it was the “optimised” per-app battery setting vs “unrestricted” that would control this.
That controls Doze, which can also potentially delay notifications.
The Freezer works entirely separate and in addition to Doze. You would need to disable both.
The nice thing about Doze these days is that you can whitelist individual apps rather than turning the whole thing off. That’s what setting the battery to “not optimized”/“unrestricted” does under the hood.
That’s fine for some people, and I support your right to configure your phone the way you want to. If you want more battery life and are okay with delayed notifications, then this feature is for you. Good for you.
It’s unfortunate you don’t believe other people have the same right to have control over their devices. That’s why you are morally in the wrong. Now sit down.
For the record, I monitor systems like fire suppression for data centers and hospitals, respond to calls from cancer treatment centers for patient-impacting issues, and I do financial trading and some other time-sensitive stuff. I have very good justifications to want my notifications to come in immediately and without any delay, battery life be damned.
Beware the "Cached Apps Freezer". It's the new Doze and may be delaying your notifications.
