I've been using greenify for a long time.
i dont really know whether it is helping me save battery or causing me more trouble.
since opening a hibernated app has a tiny delay. not noticeable in most app, but very obvious for facebook.
opening a hibernated FB and you have to wait it load from scratch and stuck at the splash screen for 1-2 seconds.
below is battery info of 2 days. both approximate in standby for 7 hours. in the same spot on my table connected to the same wifi.
First one, with greenify.
almost all user apps&games and many unused system apps were greenify. only messaging apps like viber whatsapp hangouts, and google search were left untouched.
second one, with greenify uninstalled.
i left google+, chrome, and FB running in the background (open the app and press home button)
wakelock duration is almost twice compared with with greenify, FB being the biggest culprit
but strangely...the battery drain is the same, both left with 97% after 7 hours.
greenify doesn't do much to help save battery.
and in the case of FB, it causes unnecessary delay for app opening.
do you still think it's worth using greenify?
with greenify

The advice is to greenify apps selectively. Excessive greenifying will not help and may result in the opposite. Especially, greenifying those apps that you use heavily. May be that is your issue.
Sorry to derail, but what ROM/Apps are you running?
That battery life seems pretty good!

I'm having issues with phone being awake since I flashed a KitKat ROM on my I9505. Battery temperature exceeds 40ºC and battery won't last for a day. What I ask is for an app that can track other apps keeping phone awake so I might find what the malicious app is and remove it at once.
-When I flashed Google Edition v4.0 ROM, I thought that location services was causing the drain and overheat. I disabled those but still got battery draining, but temperature lowered a bit.
-While on OmniROM, Google+ and NFC seemed to cause a problem. Removed Google+, but couldn't disable NFC somehow, but that didn't make any difference

Though it shows that Screen using 59%, it was off most of the times, as the graph shows.
-Back to Google Edition, this time v5.0 with v6.0-OTA, I removed Google+, Greenified most of the apps running in background, disabled others, turned off location services, used FauxClock to underclock the CPU, enabled intellithermal. Unplugged my phone and went to sleep. When I woke up, this is what I've found:
Greenified Google Search immediately, and this is the result so far:
Other processes running in background are
FauxClock
Alarm Clock Xtreme
Greenify
Simple Last.fm Scrobbler
WhatsApp+
ViPER4Android FX
com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel
Google Services
Cell Broadcasts
Nexus Triangles LWP
SwiftKey
And cached
Google Search
Gallery
Calendar Storage
Chronus
Clock
Keep
com.qualcomm.timeservice
Calendar
Google Play Services
Greenify
Media
Month Calendar Widget
Media
Gmail
System UI
Drive
Still the battery is heating quite fast. Any of those services that I can hibernate/disable? And I'm using the GEL, maybe it is keeping phone awake, because of Google Now?
I recently started trying out Amplify and found out that it's actually draining my battery, preventing the phone from going to deep sleep. Sure, it does tame wakelock of specific processes, but controlling wakelock due to those specific processes act up my phone and cause other wake locks to appear. Not to mention that the phone feels more buggy.
How do I successfully configure Amplify? Should I just not use it? I feel like it's causing more headache than save battery.
I would advise you to use Better Battery Stats. You will have to configure it and let your phone charge up to 100 then unplug before bed. Partial wake locks since unplugged.
I have noticed certain things can go strange with amplify. But it's all trial and error.
What do you have enabled in amplify?
This is my setup :

Hey - I'm trying this App, too - by following the instructions in from the guide 'extreme battery saving with greenify amplify and Co" or something - dont know the exact title... Now I recognized that there are some Apps not loading probably. I guess blocking one Service / wakelock and then reboot and test the phone will be necessary - but it takes a lot of time...
Had to chime in. I've been using Amplify for about 3 weeks now hoping for better battery life. It actually got worse and I had got to the point of keeping Wi-Fi and GPS off til needed (they were always on prior to Ampliy). I jumped on XDA today and ran passed this post. I froze Amplify this morning and yep, battery life is back to the way it was prior to Amplify. Maybe the paid settings are needed for a better effect?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 with ROM Blekota Note 4 Lite and Boeffla Kernel. It was great for about few days, but now I have high battery drain by screen process. I have minimal brightness, i don't use phone most time. After 8 hours of school I have 64% battery (when I was sleeping, phone was charging, when I wake up it was a 100% battery), I've been using it only for a while few times, for example to write few smses or search something on Facebook. Why Screen uses so much buttery? How can I fix it?

Screen processes in not only a brightness fact, it combines gestures, touch screen games (well, all android games ) ecc...
For example facebook too is a screen process.
Download Greenify from playstore and hibernate all the app BUT the notification apps you need (for example if you hibernate clash of clans, you won't get notifications from it).
Also, with greenify you can choose between 2 hibernating methods.
1st: tap to hibernate
2nd: auto hibernate apps (root).
And also there's even a more efficient one but it requires Xposed framework.
Try hibernating your apps, and tell us if you see changes in battery life

Hi all,
I have a Note 4 910F on 6.01 (unrooted) with dreadful battery drain to the point where under use I'm hardly lasting a day or less which is ridiculous under medium/light use.
As seen in the images below the phone (since I got it) has been awake all the time (even when screen is off) except when its turned off. (I disabled WiFi on when sleep mode)
It will be awake in airplane mode and in safe mode so its not a 3rd party app problem. All bluetooth/nfc etc disabled. I have tried phone cache clear, app cache clear, reset.
I've used wakelock detector to grant battery stats via pc and see screenshots below for the wakelocks. I've then turned on the phone and have not touched anything for over an hour to show awake stats when the screen is off.
I've been all over the net searching for an answer but I'm pretty new to android stats etc. This is one of three batteries I have btw, all of which perform the same, so to me it must be software related. I am prepared to root the device to remove software that could be causing issue if it will solve it...
I have disabled Google+, Google Now, No Voice commands present at all or gestures.
Can anyone tell me the issue and how to solve this battery drain???
CPU Wakelock below (Partial) most important I am led to believe.

Kernel Wakelock
OS screens
Even touches on the screen don't get registered in that period, songs stop playing, videos stutter, typing freezes, the entire system halts for 3 seconds whenever Greenify hibernates any application. Is this normal?
Android 8.0, stock ROM Moto z2 play, no Xposed, Magisk only
Nope. That's not normal...

Click to collapse
Definitely not normal; no one would put up with that crap. Something specific to your system/config.
Could you help me diagnose the issue by analysing this logcat? This particular recorded session depicts multiple system halts, It freezes every time an app gets updated, since several of them are updated one by one, the system also halts one by one.
My hope is that it's something relatively simple to fix or maybe just a bad combo of apps conflicting with each other, instead of having to do a complete wipe of data partition.
I am having this problem when MacroDroid is enabled.
