Doze is a new feature in Android 6.0 which allows your device to take a little nap and not use so much processing or battery power. It does this by shutting down apps until it notices your device is in use again. This won’t affect the main apps like phone and messages but for everything else, it will turn them off including MyCarTracks.

1. Open ***Settings*** menu, scroll to and tap ***Battery***
