Normally no, but the GCM push option in the experimental features of the donation version will allow them to do this -- fortunately or unfortunately depending on the app (gmail is ok, but FB will wake and then get killed again a lot with this, thus kind of defeating the purpose.)

I still think we need a per-app setting rather than a global setting even when it becomes switchable. I'd love to let certain things be able to do this, but some like FB definitely abuse it.

Hi folks,

Since the last few updates, greenify doesn't greenify apps automatically when the screen turns off.

Hibernating via the widget works like a charm...

I'm using the donation version 1.92 with all experimental functions activated - with the latest Xposed version.

On a Samsung Galaxy S3 (intl).

Any ideas?

I haven't bothered personally, have deleted some system apps that aren't needed (by me) via Titanium such as different fonts, wifi direct, nfc etc but the rest I've left untouched as I don't want to make my phone unstable by greenifying system apps for the sake of it as certain processes need to run...

Hello people.

I have purchased donate version, installed xposed framework and activated module. So I have activated all sperimental functions.

Hibernated what's app I have zero notification. Any idea?

From universe with my gs3
[Greenify] jaibar:
Did you try waiting a few minutes? It usually solves the "bug" :)

Just to check your comment, I rebooted a couple of times, and to be sure, I first checked three minutes after boot- pending list is there. However, if I wait four minutes, all are hibernated. I guess booting needs more patience. I also recall recommendations to leave phone untouched for 5-10 minutes after first booting a new ROM, to "let things settle down"...

Sent from my myTouch 4G
[Greenify] infectedorganism:
It is really a non-issue which is why I added the quotes around the word bug. I can't comment with any authority because I do not understand how things exactly work, but it would seem that if the phone has rebooted, all of the apps should be hibernated because they haven't actually been executed and ran on that particular boot.

Again, because I have no knowledge of how these things work, this "issue" can be dismissed. It just didn't seem logical as to why apps aren't hibernated upon reboot considering they haven't actually been executed.
[Greenify] thracemerin:
If they haven't been executed, they aren't running so there is nothing to hibernate, if they run on boot they will be hibernated normally.
[Greenify] post-mortem:
Some apps are set to be notified when the device boots. 3 minutes later, though, Greenify should hibernate them (if you turn your screen off, of course).

-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
[Greenify] infectedorganism:
Indeed, but if I open 10 apps and check Greenify, all of those apps will be listed under "Pending". Reboot. Open Greenify, those 10 apps will still be listed under "Pending".

Again, it is a non-issue so this will be my last post. I was just unsure of why that is the case.
[Greenify] Ardmanz:
I've just upgraded and hibernated whatsapp. Notifications are still working for me!
[Greenify] jaibar:
Again, if you wait three minutes with screen off after reboot, they'll be hibernated. If you don't want to wait, use shortcut (some launchers you can set a gesture for that).

You are raising an issue that does not exist- you don't have patience to wait for the apps to hibernate *before* rebooting, you reboot and don't have patience to wait for them you hibernate *after* boot. So what exactly do you expect?? There's a shortcut or tasker plugin for those who don't want to wait...

Sent from my myTouch 4G
[Greenify] Thomas_BA:
Well for those who are impatient and waiting that apps get greenified directly after boot:

I handle my apps in the following way:

1. All apps and bloatware (user and system apps) i NEVER use i freeze. I do not eliminate them as they are needed for OTA check.

2. Apps i rarely use but which i do not want to start after boot -> i disable the "After Startup" and some other rights (depending of the app) with Autostarts. Do this with caution, as disabling some services and rights can have negative effect to the app and system.

3. Greenify with experimental features enabled does the rest.

There i also an app to disable services which in some cases is useful: "DisableService". Use it with caution.

I managed that my phone uses 0.8% of battery during sleep per hour. That is quiet a miracle for Motorola.

Notes:

1. I do not greenify system apps, but apps like YouTube, Maps, Google+, etc. which i transformed to user apps.

2. My list of Greenified apps:

- Friendcaster Pro

- LinkedIn

- Carbon Twitter

- Drive

- Feedly

- Google Search

- Google+

- Hangouts

- Maps

- Pocket

- Skype

- Twitter

- YouTube

- WhatsApp

All apps which sync via GCM are working flawless after greenifying them.

Tips:

Folks it is NOT necessary to greenify tons of apps, only the wakelock hookers, apps which request internet connections like sync, etc. etc.

You gain nothing doing otherwise.

[Greenify] android404:
Since this seems to be a matter of life and death I'm willing to help you: degreenify these apps.

Do you have the latest xposed framework? Installed properly? Greenify activated properly? Then maybe start from scratch with greenify: back it up, clear data and then greenify only said apps, test if you get push messages.

Btw: it's not "sperimental".
[Greenify] lodidarkening:
I realize that in the 325 pages that this thread already has that other people have said how amazing this all really is but I had to come here to say it too. This app has seriously increased my battery life! It was crazy to see it analyze which apps were the culprits but since their identification they have caused by problem. Thank you so much for your development on this. Recommending to everyone I know who has root!
[Greenify] javagreen:
What issues are you facing? Xperia SP user here, so I'd like to know..
[Greenify] SomeFormOFhuman:
Firstly, I'll have to say Greenify has got to be one of the greatest inventions ever made besides Xposed framework. I had really awesome battery life (idling) and at numerous times I still had 100% battery left after 8 hours ++ of sleep. I remembered I woke up one morning, looked at my phone and I was like, Dafaq?? Am I dreaming, why the hell is it still 100%? I checked the battery stats to see if it was a fluke. Truth to be told it was 100% after 8 hours of idling all through the night.

More importantly Greenify helped me break my personal record, a system uptime of over 1294 hours and counting. Zero lags, zero crashes, absolute zero. :good: Everything ran rock stable.

Unfortunately, my recent visit to a restricted/confidential area of a local military training ground requires that all camera phones had to be turned off and kept by the guards. :( So well, there goes my nearly 1300 hours record time. :(

I am using the paid version of greenify to get the experimental features and I think it's worth a shot. Keep up the good work, Oasis Feng.
[Greenify] Nazo:
Well, here's a fun little factoid. Some apps like Facebook abuse the GCM push feature. I actually got tired of it waking up all the time and completely disabled notifications in Facebook. It STILL wakes up whenever there would have been a notification, it just doesn't notify when it wakes up... So at times it's waking pretty frequently which can't be good. If I didn't keep data turned off, it would be hurting my battery life pretty badly waking as frequently as it does some days (from my understanding, starting and stopping an app a lot is much worse than leaving it running in the background.) Unfortunately, once I log into the WiFi in some places it stays logged in for a while unless I manually "forget" the connection, so it can still become a problem even without data on.

I definitely stand by my earlier statement. Not only does GCM push need to be an optional thing (as I'm sure it will soon) but we really need it to be optional on a per-app basis so it can be disabled for things like FB that abuse it but left on for things where you might actually need or benefit from it (I'm thinking things like Skype perhaps.) All on or all off is going to ultimately probably mean it has to be all off for most people or else Greenify's whole purpose may well be defeated with some apps.
[Greenify] jaibar:
I think fb qualifies as bloatware, maybe worst. Personally, it's the type of apps that don't survive more than five minutes before I uninstall, then I have handy a shortcut and use browser for that instead of dedicated crapware/spyware/nagware/wakeware or whatever fb app is, and if enough users would stop using that cheap crap, maybe fb would take the time to make it a good piece of software. not that they don't have the money and resources to do that, eh? I think they just don't care.
[Greenify] Nazo:
Unfortunately, as you say, they don't care. If you get every single person on the XDA forums to remove it, they still won't fix it. I need to use it to keep in contact with a few people I know that practically only use it though sadly.

I won't disagree that it's bloatware, but then, cleaning the resources wasted on bloatware is part of the point of Greenify after all!
[Greenify] cheese458:
is it bad to grenify whatsapp if i use it fairly frequently? Because it is always running and i wondered if it would improve my battery life.
[Greenify] Nazo:
I can't 100% agree with articles like these -- rarely used apps DON'T need to be running in the background period no matter how good Android is at managing resources, and some abuse things to use more resources than they rightly should -- but the gist of what people are saying with articles like these is that frequent stops followed by starts uses more resources than just leaving them alone in many cases: http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/ Mind you, this is part of why Greenify is smarter than those. Having a task killer just kill everything on a regular basis means a lot of things will just restart. Greenify (normally -- though the GCM push experimental feature changes things a bit) is smarter in that it keeps them from starting again on their own. Well, articles like these refer to really frequent stop/restarts since it would be automatic whereas you probably don't keep starting and stopping as much, but still, my general impression at least (and I haven't seriously tested before and after battery life results to say for sure) is that if something is used frequently enough it's best to let it do its normal thing. It all depends on the definition of "frequent" though I think. I suspect that if you only run something every 30 minutes or so at the most frequent, that's still not enough for greenifying it to be bad. I think it might be bad to greenify stuff like the texting app or the keyboard though for instance. In this case, Whatsapp is probably among those things that should stay ungreenified.
[Greenify] cheese458:
Ok I won't greenify it! thanks for the info. Also, do you know anything about Boost mode and whether it is better or worse for battery and performance?
[Greenify] Nazo:
I doubt the difference is noticeable. Boost is definitely better and more efficient, but probably nothing you could really measure. Mostly it means it's faster and more efficient when actually greenifying things, but unless you have a lot of things greenifying all of a sudden on a regular basis, probably nothing big. I personally like it because, in an effort to squeeze as much idle battery life as I could out of my phone, I have SetCPU configured to lower my CPU speed considerably and switch to the powersave governor when the screen is turned off, so anything that expedites the process is a good thing since it's already a lot less responsive to anything in that state on my phone.

I have a gs3 from Verizon and have a custom rom installed however lately my gps no longer worked. The other day I installed greenify hibernated a couple apps and bam my gps is now working I thought maybe a coincidence so I uninstalled the app and by by went the gps lock and of course reinstalled it hibernated same apps and boom gps is back only thing I noticed is that when greenify is installed I feel like battery drains a little faster than usual but maybe I don't quite have the app set up right or have not given it the necessary time to settle in. If any one has any input I would love to hear what you guys think
[Greenify] android404:
I'm really, really, really interested in which apps you greenified to fix your GPS .
[Greenify] Nazo:
When I do use it, I need to be able to read/respond to posts. I'm almost tempted to convert it to a system app just so I can disable/enable in the app info screen instead of having to run through TitaniumBackup to freeze (don't get me wrong, I like TitaniumBackup well enough, but it takes it a bit to load, I have to run through a list of what is probably more apps than I rightly should have installed, go into the menu for the app, and then freeze/unfreeze from there. Not a fun thing to do on a regular basis, even if we're talking about probably just a few times a week.) A disable would be sufficient, but... The very thought of making Facebook a system app gives me the shivers on principle...

Battery should NOT drain faster with Greenify. It should actually be better if there's a measurable difference. You might want to look into just what is being greenified a bit more carefully perhaps. As I was saying before, judging by what articles such as the one I linked to are saying, it's worse on the system to frequently stop and restart a program, so if something vital is being greenified that might perhaps be the culprit if it's being started by another active process and then greenified automatically after just a while. Mind you, Greenify pretty well only does its thing when the screen is off, so it's hard to imagine you'd see a difference one way or the other with a GPS as chances are it's on the whole time you're using it... If you paid for the experimental features, you can use the wake tracking option to see just what actually woke an app and you can judge by that what's being started by processes you're using a lot as those are things that probably shouldn't be greenified.

Anyway, I'd take a more careful look into just what apps are running. Many things like to run that you don't actually need and won't actually necessarily be using (especially on a GPS.)

I don't know if this is actually the real cause, but everyone who can't get gcm push to work, should try getting the app "push notification fixer" and try to open the gtalk service monitor (or dial the special code). If you can't open it, you probably did something wrong in the autostart settings for the gsf. Once again, this was the case for me, no idea if it's actually the fix.

I believe that Greenify does not hibernate apps on the main thread which is the main running app does not get affected at all what so ever even with the screen off since it is still running in the main thread like it is high priority in a user app type (highest one in system app type in order is the Android OS, Android System and then System UI).

Do you measure your wakelocks when screen is off? Charge your phone, unplug it and leave it for at least 4 hours alone. Install Wake lock detector or Better Battery. Than you see what is going on. Facebook sends a huge amount of GCM, terrible app. Try to disable notification.
