Hello!
Used Greenify version 2.4, donation, with Xposed.
I have 3 apps configured to be greenified: Viber, WhatsApp and PushBullet.
Apps have no permanent status icons.
All of them use GCM. GCM pushes passing is activated in Greenify .
Whole phone sleeps ok. I don't see much wakups in statistics during the time screen is off.
PushBullet is normally hybernating, getting pushes, waking up. Just like it should by Greenify design.
But Viber and WhatsApp are always staying "Pending" even when screen is off for hours. There is no any notifications or warning on it in Greenify interface. Just "Pending"...
How can I further diagnose my problem? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?
Thanks!
UPD:
The only difference between my apps is that in non grinified state Viber and WhatsApp are stated as "Running in background" when PushBullet is usually stated as "May slow the device when... app is updated". Thus PushBullet behaves more gently in general. Ok. But what the heck is that everlasting "Pending"?
And what dark magic is hiding behind statement "will hibernate in a short time after the screen goes off"?
Hmm... No thoughts at all?
I'm just curious: if there is a Hybernate action shortcut and application can catch the screen lock event WHY subj can't activate this Hybernate action just after screen off???
I also have a somewhat similar issue. Though I have not greenified Google Play Services, when it is shown as Pending and when the Greenify+lock shortcut is used, Google Play Services remains pending even after hours. Should it not be greenified when the shortcut is used?

You are right. But in my case manual hibernation works for Google Backup Transport. However, once I unlock the screen, it is again running and keeps running for hours till it is manually hibernated. It also eats a lot of battery.
I seem to have found a way out for Google Play Services. When I hibernated it manually yesterday and when it said that the app, if greenified in the present state, might have issues, I ticked the checkbox for ignoring its state and then manually greenified it. Till now though it runs on screen unlock, it gets automatically hibernated after the screen is off. I have not so far faced any other issues because of my action.
Maybe @Kirrrr can try the same on Viber if this option is available.
@naik2902 can definitely try it on GPS.
However, I am not responsible for any consequences.:fingers-crossed:
It looks quite wrong and strange. Isn't it?

Yes, it is strange. May be the apps like Whatsap, Facebook and Viber use other methods for staying awake!

I cannot for the life of me kill Google maps. It will start right back up. I have it turned off completely with autostarts and with Gemini app manager.
Can go into expert mode with Gemini app manager, kill it, refresh the list, and it will be running again.
I haven't used maps in two days
EDIT: I want maps to run only when I tell it to. So no freezing or disabling.
This is why I want it to stop:

Disable from settings - apps - maps - disable
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
or turn off gps... thats the only times maps tries anything, otherwise it just wakes up the phone to check for gps which ends up being only like 0.3% battery eating
Ttt
My maps is usually always running, but never uses any battery. Like others said make sure you have GPS off, and if you keep trying to kill it, it will only automatically relaunch which will consume battery. If you don't like it, freeze the app, thats about the only this.
Bump for edit.
Need app to work, but only when I say so

This app is started by a number of intents and receivers. Disabling them will stop it from starting but may also disable features.
You can turn off gps use for location. It will be less accurate but still work using other things like wifi.
Use something like ROM Toolbox, go to app manager and long press maps. Select advanced freeze. Among the many choices look for those containing the word "latitude" or "friends". Uncheck them. Maps should continue to work if you did it right BUT the Latitude & Friends services will probably not work.

Remove Google Maps from any app killer you are using and restart your device. Is it still consuming that much battery power?
Other than freezing it, apps are free to open as they please on Android, something I've never been a fan of.
A simple "kill" will not work...you need to "force stop" it. Settings...Apps...Maps...Force Stop. If you have all autostarts disabled, it won't come back until you open it.

This was true for about a week.
Then it's like autostarts is just not enough.. It still boots on its own. The photo includes autostarts and Gemini app manager both having it completely disabled

No, I don't wanna unfreeze it every time I wanna use it
So I've been trying to reduce the amount my phone wakes up. So far in gsam, the ones that consern me are android system and google services. Android system held my phone awake for 1.5 hrs and woke it 70 times. Google services was held awake for 22seconds but woke it 63 times. These are my 2 biggest wakelocks. I have sync turned off etc. How can I stop/ reduce the amount of wake locks?
Well android system is your phone Lol so that has to stay on or you have no ROM at all
And Google services is recommended to be on
If you need info on what the services do than go into the manage apps section than scroll the right so it says all at the top and click on the service and scroll down and it will tell you why that service is needed/ triggered by
Not all of the services will tell you exactly what there for but if your only worried about those 2 than your phone is fine
EDIT: if you scroll to the the running section in app manager and click on a service it gives you what you need to know
this is mine

i know there needed, but waking the phone that many times....?
Are you using latitude? Try disabling google location services to see if that cuts down on the number of wake ups.
Of course if you have sync off you'd think it would kill that too, just taking a guess.

"google messaging service" & "media" are constantly running. How would I end those? Do I even need messaging service? I can't find it on android tuner in the system app sections.
There's a thread on media server wakelocks and someone said it may be due to corrupted media files. Check it out:

In order to prevent leaks during screen sleep want to run Amplify together with Greenify
What about such alarm (reported by Amplify):
Full Name:
com.Elecont.WeatherClock/.WakeUpReceiver
Elecont eWeather is an application which has many alarms count after every night despite setting it to update just when screen on (and the alarm checks very frequently when screen already comes ON so its crazy). It has time indication on its widgets in very graphical fashion so it takes care to show it accurately and that's why it constantly checks if screen is awaken.
It seems just Xposed module like Greenify can take care of such cases: hibernate when screen OFF and unhibernate when screen comes ON, however it doesn't hibernate the eWeather - why?
Probably because eWeather has two major components: widgets associated background service
and
GUI main interface,
and Greenify can see just GUI part and just this keeps hibernated.
How to make Greenify hibernate both components of eWeather, especially its service? Add list of Greenify shows just one entry eWeather and after choosing it the service component still runs unrestricted during phone sleep.

FYI - related conversation here. While a single post is linked best to roll back a few pages to see the full context.
However as you can see other means seem to fail I'd like to return to Greenify. And at once have the big question. Please, see this screen:
and tell me how to enforce of hibernating these applications when the screen sets OFF (and to unhibernate just after screen comes ON): 3CToolBox, Ampere and CoolTool?
Important much to put these applications into hibernation with screen OFF as they have many wakelocks and are reported as power intensive!

My WhatsApp web keeps telling my phone is not connected as soon as the phone screen goes black.
The second I press any button and the screen is activated, then my messages gets delivered and WhatsApp web start working again.

Add WhatsApp to never sleep and in app info of WhatsApp, battery, turn off optimize battery usage.

These settings were already like that (I think).
Is there anywhere else I should look at?

Did you also check in device care: battery, uncheck power saving mode
click background usage limits
add whatsapp to never sleeping apps.
Theres nothing else I did to get whatsapp to stay running.
Maybe reinstalling whatsapp might help. I've seen oddities fixed by that OR clearing data (which also resets the app to new).

Run backup to Google drive in WhatsApp and reinstall. I've seen bugs like that and modern software sucks so badly you'll never know why. Example Turbo tax 2020 is the current piece of crap that they know has an issue with windows 10 that they haven't fixed yet.
Hi folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to this: Immediately following applying the June update, I noticed certain apps (crucially, Angry Birds2) were being closed in the background as soon as I switch to other apps. Previously, I could have AB2 open, go do other things on the phone, come back half an hour, and AB2 would still be open. Now, even brief switches to other apps results in it being closed.
Figuring it had been switched to a higher level of battery optimization, I checked the AB2 app and made sure it was still Unrestricted (it is).
Battery Saver is off.
Adaptive Battery is on, but it was before the update too.
What other settings do I need to monkey with to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Developer options>standby apps, check bucket state of app. It should be active.
If that's the case disable all global power management. If disabled all buckets show as active and their state can't be altered.
Google global power management never worked right. Turn all that junk off.
Deal with power hogs on a case by case basis instead. In settings individual apps can be set to not run in background without invoking global power management.

For AB2 it shows "exempted" and is grayed out. What does that mean? Meanwhile I'm turning off Adaptive power. Anything else I need to turn off, while I'm at it?

Exempted? More like KIA Erratic behavior is typically what it causes on my Samsung's.
In power management the only thing I enable would be fast charging if you want that.
Not familiar with Pixel settings but they are similar as it's a Google Android based subsystem.

Sadly all similar settings are now turned off and the phone has been rebooted. AB2 still closes nearly instantly when I switch to another app. Sigh.

Try clearing app cache.
More drastically delete data or reinstall it.
It may be the app itself is no longer compatible now and needs an update.
On a Samsung my first choice would be to clear the system cache found on the boot menu. I've been told Pixel's don't have this option.
Personally I avoid all OTA updates as they can and do break things. Pie and above are fairly secure if you don't do stupid things.
