I want to know is this two doing the same thing?
First i thought STAMINA mode only disabling data transfer only but stamina mode closes the Greenify app and its Auto hibernation when phone on standby.
To work Auto hibernation i have to add Greenify in STAMINA mode "APPS ACTIVE IN STANDBY" section.
Is this mean STAMINA mode also closes the apps on the phone?
If answer is yes then why i need Greenify addition to STAMINA mode?
Please help me out.
I'm using Sony xperia sp (C5303) rooted.

Well Stamina halts applications while the device is in its sleep. Greenify however, hibernates an application. A hibernated application won't run unless something wakes it up. Unlike Stamina, once you wake your device from sleep, all activities will be resumed!
You can benefit both of functionalities, by adding Greenify into the list of apps in the Stamina settings. This will yield a more battery saving result, being Greenify to hibernate apps, and Stamina to halt other apps from running, when your device is in its sleep.

I need some help. From where should I select Greenify application into "Stamina Mode'' list. I can't find any apps in standby section.
Right now, since I started using Greenify I had deselect Battery Stamina Mode. Sorry for the English.

Simply touch Stamina Mode. You will be taken to the next screen with Add Applications. Then add Greenify to it.

I have some apps like around 10 apps like Alarm, Calender which I have whitelisted in Greenify, do I also have to add all these 10 apps in whitelist of Stamina mode ?

My stamina mode is always on but appears not to work at all. I keep getting notifications on both wifi and LTE from all apps that can produce them (not only whitelisted), and I get them immediately even when the "queue background data" is on.
I tend to be forgiving because battery life is fantastic. With my normal use I usually don't go under 60% at the end of the day. The phone uses maybe 0.5% / h when idle.
Indeed, stamina mode does prolong the battery. I got 2days 18hours till10% on stamina mode without any wifi, but on 3G.
Always on with around 8 apps on the white list. Get 2 days of normal day to day use. A little less if on heavy usage

Always on, but as someone stated, i dont see it working. Dont get me wrong, battery life is amazing, just that my background data seems to be working same way doesnt matter stamina on or off.. for example i have torrent app, its not on whitelist, still downloads just fine after phone goes to sleep.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want Stamina mode to always be on you have to change the setting:
Settings > Power management > STAMINA mode > Activation
to 100%
I did some tests because I was confused after reading the manual, and it appears to me that just toggling STAMINA mode to "on" does not turn it on permanently. It still waits for the battery level to drop to the activation threshold you set.
I personally set mine to 20% because I don't want STAMINA mode on all the time.
Let us know if you know more about this or experiment more and get some results. The manual is really not very clear on STAMINA mode.

It seemed very good, maybe half the drain of regular mode, but I have limited experience because the Z2 battery is so good I rarely go below 20% :victory:
Hey guys, yesterday I just got my third Z2 due to faults with the others and I simply don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time with stamina mode is down to 1 day and a few hours again down from 6 days yesterday night! Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need on my phone and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (7% in 30 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing stamina mode to play up!
Is there a work around for the notification lights not working as normal in stamina mode. Its the only thing that stops me using it daily.

Yes, you need to install Xposed Framework and load the Xperia Stamina LED module. You'll need to be rooted first however.

"Aggressive Doze" is one of the new experimental features exclusive for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The best part is that it works on non-rooted device!
Once enabled in settings, your device will enter Doze Mode in minutes (instead of hours stationary normally) after the screen goes off if not charging, to improve its power-saving efforts.
Doze mode is a new power saving mechanism introduced in Android 6.0. In this mode, background behaviors of all apps (except white-listed ones) are strictly prohibited, until next user interaction or charging. The device will also periodically (in hours) exit doze mode briefly.
This is not the complete solution for a better Doze, currently it still cannot keep your device rest in doze if you are carrying it around. It is expected to maximize the power-saving effect of the stock Doze mode. (UPDATE: This "interruption by motion" behavior can be completely prevented in the newest version 2.9 beta, see FAQ.1 for details) Also it may break some background functionality of your daily apps if they are not developed with Android Doze in mind.
FAQ
When I'm moving around, the Aggressive Doze is not working?
Android system uses a low power "Significant Motion Sensor" to track movement and exits Doze Mode if significant movement is detected. Aggressive Doze will not try to enter Doze after that, to avoid constantly entering and exiting Doze. Since the stock Doze is designed for battery-saving in stationary state, Android still wants to keep your apps in sync with fresh state if you are carrying it around.
In the new version 2.9 beta, this "interruption by motion" behavior can be prevented completely if "DUMP" permission is granted manually via USB-connected computer.

Why is my device very lagging when wake from sleep after a few hours.
This seems like a bad consequence of Android Doze Mode itself if too many apps are installed. Because Doze Mode effectively postpone all the background behaviors during the doze. The longer doze lasts, the more tasks to do when exiting. Consider greenifying more background-itchy apps to reduce the lag, because hibernation is still the essential solution for them.

Aggressive Doze is not working sometimes, but again working later.
Check whether there's a alarm clock in less than an hour, by looking for an alarm icon in the status bar. But the icon won't tell you the time of the alarm. You may click the DND tile in the quick launch panel to find out the actual time of the alarm (in the entry with "until next alarm"). This is because Android system refuses to enter doze mode if an scheduled alarm is in less than an hour.

Why I can't find this option in settings? My device is on Android 6.0.
Aggressive Doze in Greenify v2.8 should work on all devices with Android 6+, unless the Doze Mode is explicitly disabled by the ROM. If you are using a custom ROM made by community, ask the
ROM modder to enable this flag in the ROM:
Code:
com.android.internal.R.bool.config_enableAutoPowerModes
UPDATE: Since 2.9 beta 1, even if doze is disabled in ROM, Greenify can still activate doze mode after DUMP permission is granted manually via USB-connected computer. Beware, this may break things since the ROM is not made to be compatible with Doze.

It is surely not the complete solution for a better Doze mode. It is expected to maximize the power-saving effect of Doze mode, but may also break some background functionality of your apps. So I'm listening to all your feedback and opinions, to build a smarter and finer-tweaked Doze mode in Android 6.0.

Hi Oasis, I tried to perform the steps you gave but I am getting the following error
/system/bin/sh: grant: not found
this happens when I try to run the first command to grant DUMP permissions. My Nexus 5 is not rooted and ADB is running and fully up to date.
Edit: for anyone experiencing this issue try the following
1. After checking "adb devices" run "adb shell"
2. Type "pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenfiy android.permission.DUMP"
3. Type "pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.READ_LOGS"
Hello,
First of all, i'm happy with the donation version!
With this new feature there's a thing I've noticed right away. Apparently doze works with all the apps, including whatsapp, which is the app i use the most.
When doze it's activated messages arrive in intervals and it's not that reliable. Anyways, when doze activates by itself, i'm ok with the messages getting delayed, because i'm actually not using the phone. The thing with the integration through greenify, is that messages stop arriving right away.
Do you think there could be a way to kind of "bypass" certain applications? If it's possible it would work like stamina mode from Sony.
Anyways, it's just a comment... I like the instant doze since doze really helps with battery!

In the developer preview of 6.0 you could exclude apps from being doze'd. Such an option would be great in Greenify as well, since messages don't wake up the phone with activated aggressive doze

If WhatsApp uses GCM for instant message push, then maybe the developer has not yet adopted for the priority GCM push which goes through in the Doze mode. This is what Google suggests all IM message to use.
I'll try to work around this issue, maybe allow all GCM push to exit doze mode for a while.

You can still do that in Android 6.0 final version, but highly discouraged.
Today I got Greenify 2.8 beta 1, but still my apps aren't greenified.
Edit: I reinstalled Greenify and su asked me for permission, now it works, thank you.

If we are rooted does it still require the one-time procedure or can we just install as normal?

The best part of this feature - NO ROOT REQUIRED! Still you need to perform a one-time procedure with USB-cable and a connected computer, which is surely familiar to many of you XDA members.

No root really ? It would be useful

Currently zero. I'm planning for a smarter delay before doze (probably the same as the delay before greenified apps hibernate). But for now, I'd like to push the benefit to the limit for a test run and find the actual drawback of 0 delay.
I greenified extended standby mode which is supposed to run sony's stamina mode. Though i later degreenified extended standby mode, i cannot find a way to wake it up. Even after reboot it doenst wake up and because of that the stamina mode doesnt turn on. Is there anyway to wake up extended standy mode ??

I don't know particularly about extended standby mode, but if you greenify an app and subsequently highlight it, you get an icon with a play symbol on top of the screen. Tapping it will run the app. After that you can highlight it again and then degreenify it.
So greenify extended standby mode again and try.
I already tried that.... When i click on the play icon it tells that the app has no launcher entry

Hi, I'm new in Marshmallow and I was wondering about what apps should I put in Doze whitelist.
At the moment I've put Amplify, BetterBatteryStats, Greenify and Wakelock Detector. However Greenify is shown in my battery stats as consuming 3% of total battery.
Considering I have xposed (and have chosen "shallow hibernation" and "aggressive doze" in greenify settings), should I choose "optimize battery" for Greenify in Doze settings or not?
is greenify running as device administrator?
whatever, u shud put it on whitelist.
No need to, having xposed (and boost mode on). I'll let it on whitelist anyway, thank you!
Yes or else the auto hibernation won't work.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
So the correct answer is to uncheck battery optimization for Greenify in doze settings?
I know that by the nature of doze, the device wakes up every hour or so.
Also shallow hibernation says it will allow the apps to wake every so often. My question is if shallow hibernation causes doze to wake up more often than it normally would? Thank you
That's a good question... There are also two settings for aggressive doze I wondered if both should be ticked when on xposed

I believe I can help you understand the two settings on aggressive doze. The first option enables "Doze on the go" which allows aggressive doze to work while your device is moving, the second option provides debug notifications when your device enters doze mode. If you are in Boost mode you can also enable "Doze on the go" through the Xposed options.
