Note 4 and Non-rooted Use - Greenify

I have the Verizon version of the Note 4 and have Greenify installed. Greenify seems to be working but I have a couple questions
1) The calculator talks while having the program on. I tested that by un-installing and the issue stopped
2) Being that I'm using it in non-root mode, every few minutes the phone wakes up and Greenify clears out the phone. Is this normal?
I've had Greenify in the past, in both a S3 & S4. I've never seen the phone wake up and clear out. Not a complaint just wonder if it's part of the program to do that
Thanks

Root causing screen freezes?

Rooted phone again last night after I unrooted and did a factory restore because I started having a couple f/c and twice screen froze. I unrooted 3 days ago and it was working perfect, so I rooted last night, this morning I got another screen freeze, it would go off/on with the power button, but not respond to my touch. Coincidence or because of root?
I should say that I have froze/removed nothing, only installed sqlite to add wifi tethering.
I've been rooted for a little over a week with no problems.
I do have juice defender on it and smart actions working together, I wonder if its creating a conflict between them. I uninstalled JD and see what happens.

That's probably the cause. Root alone should not interfere with os operation.

Root is simply allowing an UID to become 0 (root).
The only thing that can make your phone to have problems is an app (or multiple apps).

[Q] Greenify waking my phone

So I just downloaded Greenify and got it all set up on my Droid Turbo. It's not rooted. The annoying thing is that every few minutes my phone will wake up and run some process for a couple seconds. How do I stop this? I can't imagine that it's supposed to work that way.

I think that what is happening is, Greenify is hibernating various apps as and when they wake up. On a rooted device, you don't see Greenify doing its thing. It happens silently.
Since both my devices are rooted, I am only presuming this. Others with unrooted devices can explain better.

You could hibernate manually instead of automatically by unchecking the "Automated hibernation" in the "Experimental features" option.

Ok Google hot word detection not working?

Has anybody else notice that the okay Google hot word detection does not work on the lock screen, does not work with the screen off and does not work from any screen..
I've tried several times resetting the settings in google settings /voice
Even the "always on" toggle itself gets stuck and won't turn on or off without turning off and on the main toggle..
Just verified this problem after playing a heavy game for while. OK Google bacically wont work anywhere at all, sometimes intermittently working only on home screem, but rarely,
Coincidentally I check ram usage In developer options while it won't work, its been in critical for the last few hours of use time.
My nexus 5 demonstrates no such issues, works all the time. Maybe its oom killer killing off the google search or play launcher apk, whatever apk that is tied into. Just guessing at this point
Yeah I'm having exactly the same issue. If you go into app Google settings under /voice the toggle are glitchy and stuck they won't move. I have to change the main toggle off and on, in order to reset the bottom two toggles.
Until I do this every time "okay Google" from the lock screen or screen off never works.
More people should check this on their nexus 9
I have the same problem. I'm considering resetting the device and upgrading to 5.0.1.
I'm on 5.0.1 issue exists
Why do you guys want it any way? It's a battery hog

It's a very convenient way to do things without touching device. It's supposed to work.
Even on the nexus 6 it's periodic but on the nexus 9 most of the time it's not working unless I do a fresh restart

It's one of the reasons I bought the device. I use commandr and tasker to do things like WOL my PC, and I wanted a device that would always be listening so I can have those actions always at hand. The fact this is broken months after the device was released is disappointing, to say the least.

Greenify Keeps Turning My Display On Dimly Then Keeps Shutting Off at Least Hourly

Hi, I've been using Greenify for quite a while, and love it. However, recently my Note 4 has been turning on by itself with a dim display, closings apps and shutting off again. I believe that is the process to shut off apps after you've shut the phone off for a few minutes, but mine is doing it at random times, and because it is dim I can't particularly see the first app each time it is shutting off.
I keep a list of every app I install and changes I make to the system, because I have run into problems with installed apps before, so now I reverse uninstalled all apps that I recently installed, and it is still doing the same thing! Is there some way/some app for me to tell what is causing it to turn on and shut down apps over and over? I really like Greenify, and I know it's not taking a lot of juice to turn on and do the close thing, but it is irritating every time I hear it turn on, make the popping sound to close apps, and shuts off again. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks,
First check that exposed is fine and clear. If is all cool, than it's greenify beta version. Probably.
Hi, I'm not running Xposed Framework, just the "Automated hibernation". I have Lollipop version 5 on my phone.

If you are unrooted, that is the normal behaviour when an app you chose for hibernation, wakes up the device. With root, the screen will not light up but still the other actions will go on.
Earlier in non-root mode, the screen would light up bright. After people complained, the Dev has dimmed the screen. I don't think it is possible to hibernate without lighting up the screen.
You can disable the sounds so that it doesn't irritate you much.

Thanks for the thorough answer. And yes, I am not rooted. The odd part to me though is that it wasn't happening until about a week ago, and then it started. I've tried to retrace all my steps to see what I've installed since then, changed, etc. but reversing all these activities still does not cause it to stop starting up like it is doing now. Do you know of any app or some way I could see what is causing it to wake up so that Grennify needs to keep shutting it down? I would really appreciate it!

Have you hibernated any system app (I think not, without root)? If so, a background update might have changed its behaviour.
If you can, backup all third party apps and then uninstall them and see whether your problem is solved. If not, it is a system app which causes it. See for which system apps you can roll back the update and then roll them back one by one and check.
I have no idea about any app which shows you what is waking up the device at any particular point.

This is happening to me also after installing latest beta 3 update. It is accompanied by 2 toast messages saying greenify has been granted root, and a long list of all apps that were put into hibernation. Seems to only happen when phone is plugged in to USB or outlet.
I am rooted running lite rom and cataclysm mod. I do not have xposed installed.
I uninstalled beta version, opted out and reinstalled standard release and it hasn't happened since.
Don't update the greenify.

What do you mean by that? Does your phone shut down or the charging stop?

Figured out what was causing mine to continue to turn on over and over. It was Google Fit. I uninstalled apps that I have installed recently (I keep a list of every app I install), and once Google Fit was removed, the Greenify turning on the phone and shutting it down stopped! FYI for others with this problem.
Thanks,
Dave

i don't have google fit installed and i was having the issue.
i downgraded to 2.7 (non beta) and greenify works correctly.
-i still have trouble with random reboots when all xposed features are enabled. haven't taken the time to narrow down which feature is causing this
I don't see HOW to turn sounds off, the popping IS annoying.
I have an unrooted S3 Galaxy Thanks!

I have a similar problem. When Greenify locks the screen on my LG G4 I cannot open screen with a double tap, like I was able to in the past, I have to push the power button to be able to use my phone. I have Android 6.0, Greenify 4.1, non-rooted. Tried disabling Auto hibernation for manual, same problem. Have donation package (But can't find icon) . Love Greenify, used to work great but have to fix this problem. Please help.

Smart watches compatability

I had a Ticwatch E before switching to the mix 3 but using it on the mix 3 now I've had so many connectivity issues. Sometimes I'd get notifications and then sometimes the watch would disconnect, just wondering if anyone is using a smart watch that doesn't have these issues or if this is just an issue with the mix 3 and ticwatches.
Thanks
My moto 360 1st gen has also some issues.

I have Huawei Watch GT, no problems at all.
No problems at all here with a Huawei Watch 2 Classic
Amazfit Pace and no problem
Dont know what happens but now All Apps works and the notification grafics are now perfekt again. No more Problems with transpatency
Gesendet von meinem MIX 3 mit Tapatalk
I had some connection issues as well.
I figured out that it only loses connection when I kill all apps and so i tinkered with a few settings:
- disable power-saving for wear OS app
- enable auto start for wear OS
It still loses the connection if you kill all apps but reconnects as soon as you check your watch.
It never loses the connection if I don't kill apps (anymore?).
Hope that helps!

Open recent apps, long press Wear OS app, and tap on the lock, now, even if you kill all apps, Wear OS won't be killed

True, but than you have to open the app in general while it is never actively opened otherwise.
Same thing with automatic started music that gets killed, even when you don't have your player open.
I've got the Galaxy Watch (46mm) and I am able to use it but with a caveat; if you unlock the bootloader you MUST root with Magisk in order to hide the fact that the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise, the Galaxy Wear app and Samsung Pay with not even open, and you won't be able to connect the Galaxy Watch to your phone. If you keep the bootloader locked and don't want root access, it works normally.
I have a Gear 2 I flashed with Android Wear and it's been working perfectly.
My Watch GT doesn't automatically reconnect after I go out of Bluetooth range.
I've whitelisted all apps from the MIUI battery saver and granted all permissions.
I have also LOCKED the Huawei Health app to stop the system from closing it.
Once Bluetooth has disconnected, The ONLY way to get the watch to reconnect, is by opening Huawei Health or toggling the phone's Bluetooth off & on.
Unsure if it's the Huawei Health app or MIUI that is at fault.
Very frustrating.
Also using a Galaxy Watch (46mm) and it works great for the most part. You do have to root with Magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader (if you unlocked it). Other than that, for some reason I lose notifications on the watch almost every time I reboot the phone or put it in battery saver/extreme battery saver. This has something to do with the way MIUI handles notification access and is very annoying since the only way to fix it is to disconnect the watch from your phone (as in unlink it which wipes the watch NOT just turn off bluetooth), uninstall the Galaxy Wearable app completely, reboot, then re-install the Galaxy Wearable app, reconnect the watch, and restore my backed up data to the watch. It only takes a few minutes now that I know exactly what fixes it but it is really annoying that I avoid using battery saver and rebooting just to not have to deal with uninstalling and reinstalling the watch. If anyone has any better fix for this please let me know lol.
Does anyone use a FitBit? My wife bought a FitBit Versa and it constantly shows and error about the notifications not being available. She has to constantly reboot the phone to get notifications working correctly.

I bought the FitBit Versa and had to return it due to notifications never working, even with all battery saving options disabled it just didn't work. Picked up the Galaxy Watch Active instead and that works perfectly, I'd recommend it instead if you still have the option of returning the FitBit. Used it with MIUI at first which worked perfectly after disabling the battery saving features.
I'm now rooted with Pixel Experience, had to download an older version of Samsung Pay to get it to work without detecting root and it's working great on that too.
