For some reason my WhatsApp can't automatic hibernate. It's always in the 'Not hibernating automatically'. Whenever I manually make it hibernate, I don't receive any notifications or messages unless I open the app. I have the donation version, GCM is checked, keep notifications is checked, I have greenify enabled in both Accessibility and DeviceAdmin.
I do receive further notification and messages after I opened WhatsApp manually. Anyone else has experienced this and/or has a solution to fix this?

Quite weird as I don't face this! I would suggest for you to uninstall whatsapp, and then install it again. Backup its data beforehand with Titanium Backup if you intend to save the messages.

Didn't work. I still only get the messages when I open WhatsApp. Automatic hibernation is working now tho, for WhatsApp.

There's no actual fix for this, but I would try to reinstall Greenify, reset its device administrator and then clear the dalvik cache. It is quite of an isolated problem.. I sometime do have to admit Clash of Clans, Facebook and some 2 other I don't remember, stay without automatic hibernation but I can now cope with it. Thanks to swipe gestures of Nova Launcher lol.
And since it is a problem only related to certain apps, I don't think greenify should be blamed for this.

Funny thing is...if you un-greenify them and then choose to greenify them again and then hibernated them. The next time those apps will auto hibernated.
But upon reboot, the whole process starts all over again...weird.

I did a Factory Reset yesterday, because I had some issues. Thought it would work after the reset, but it didn't. How do you use the gestures to hibernate, coz I have also Nova Launcher?

You'll need to purchase Nova Prime in order for the feature to work. Assuming you have Nova and its premium features, go to Nova settings, and then tap on "Gestures and Buttons". Afterwards, choose your desired gesture, and then when choosing the action for a gesture, tap on "Shortcuts" tab, and choose Greenify's "Hibernate now" shortcut.
I personally choose the swipe up gesture. So when I am at the home screen, and I do also want my apps to be greenified forcibly, I will just have to swipe the screen up, and then the magic happens

In my case, this only happens to some apps. Others are perfectly hibernated. I agree it does feel weird, but I don't really concern about it.
Yes it only happen on some apps for me too..but if you un-greenify one of them and greenify it again and hibernated all of them, the next time all the apps will behave.

You're right, I just tested this and it actually work. Only tested this with WhatsApp tho. Thanks! But the problem I'm still having is, whenever WhatsApp is hibernated, I'm not getting any notifications and messages, even tho I have GCM enabled. I read that other people do receive them, so I find this really weird why it's not working.

I'm using Hibernate + Lock for double tap atm, and it's hibernating WhatsApp with the method above. I tested it with Google Play Services as well, but that didn't work. So my only problem now is not receiving anything while hibernated. Still can't figure this out. -_-'

You should not mess with Play Services! You should know that GCM apps use play services to deliver push notifications!
About whatsapp, most people sorted the problem out by enabling Device Admin. In the OP, you've mentioned that you did that. I suggest degreenify play services, and re-activate device admin.

Funny thing is, after I ungreenify WhatsApp and then greenify it, it will be hibernated and then I do receive the messages. Whenever I open WhatsAspp, it's going back to the 'Not automatically hibernating' list. Really werid. It says 'Service in use by Android-system Push'. The only way of hibernating it, would be forcibly, but then again, I wont receive anything and it will go back to the same list.
I removed Google Play Services from the list and did re-activated greenify in device admin, didnt work.
I had try greenifying Whatsapp before, sometimes it works real good, sometimes I encounter the same issue as you. As such, I did not greenify it again.
I don't greenify Play Services.

Maybe I'll give it up as well. But on the other hand, I really want it to work, because the main reason I bought it was for WhatsApp.
Install greenify then clean master.. It works. And saves battery

Ok, I think I found the solution. I had this app, called Wakelock Terminator. Within the app, I checked 'Prevent Wakelock' for Google Play Services. I unchecked it and deleted everything in the 'Filter' field and after that I deleted the app as well, because the reason I had this app was for Google Play Services.
Now WhatsApp is working while hibernated. I'm getting the notifications and messages. Maybe this would be your problem as well?

Nah WhatsApp is not the problem. It is okay for me. The only problem I have is the other apps that people don't report it here. But I don't really mind about it. And I don't kill any wakelock or some sort, so the problem lies on those rogue apps instead. Anyway glad you finally worked it out. Told ya it doesn't have to do with Greenify

Well I actually hibernate whatsapp but still have push messages come in. I have to agree it does comes a bit late but sometimes it appears instantly when I connect to a wifi. I may consider ungreenifying it though, but not now.

That is not true. It is possible to hibernate Playservices. I have done it and no problems for the last three months. However I don't use Whatsapp or Facebook so no idea about effect on them.
You simply select 'ignore state for hibernation'.

Lucky for you, I experience multiple errors including play store unable to detect a network connection, apps won't allow me to purchase something (probably to the connection problem) and worse of all battery draining.
I also got those issues when I tried to cut off the links in Playservices and Playstore. I even got random reboots though no battery drain.
But now I do not touch the links, merely greenify these two ignoring their state.
May be you can try this?

Hi,
for my basic understanding of Greenify I would like to know:
I ran Greenify 2.7 in root mode, currently without Xposed. This because I want to read more about Xposed first before installing.
It normally should hibernate the configured Apps automatically if I understand right.
In what time intervalls does Greenify check if such a App has been woken up and therefore hibernated again?
I watch the battery comsumption with 3C Tools and see, that the saving effect takes place only if I check manually every hour or so. Doing so, Greenify hibernates woken up Apps well and the battery saving effect is really good. But during the night I can see that the hibernation does not take place and I have 20% less capacity.
Sorry, if this question has already been discussued elsewhere. I have seearched here already, but being not sure, to find the right answers.
Edit: Now I Installed Version 2.8 Beta 8 and watch the behaviour.
Regards, Onurbi

Have you enabled Greenify in Device>Settings>Security>Device Administrator?
Do you have the donation pack?
Which version of android and what phone?
Normally, Greenify watches for apps waking up and hibernates them. There is no fixed interval for checking.
From your description I would guess that only manual hibernation is working and not automatic hibernation.
Thank you for your answer!

Ok. I could imagine, that a timer controlled action like I do it, would help.
When Greenify is not in "root" mode, it does an automated "Stop" of the Apps. With root mode it reports, that the found Apps are hibernated. When Greenify does this only once and another App will be waked up later, this now again running App will drain the battery anyway. That's not particular senseful I find. Therefore my question about regular checks.

I think so as well. But the Settings tell me that automatic hibernation is active (in German)!
The last 2 hours suddenly a process has been started named SUPL20Services. It will be reported by the 3C Toolbox analyser. This process caught my eyes several times already. The only context I found googling has to to with GPS. But when I disable GPS, this process comes up anyway. I tried to identify the parent process of it with "ps -t", but to no avail. There is no.
In this case Greenify can do nothing I believe.

When an app is hibernated, it can not wake up again unless you specifically open it or another app/process wakes it up. So a hibernated app continuing to run does not happen unless you permit it.
If you find that a hibernated app is woken up again (not specifically by you), long press the app's name in Greenify and you will get a scissors icon on top. Clicking that icon will pop up a dialogue box which will tell you what woke up that app and if you don't want it to be woken up, click the appropriate button in the dialogue box.

Yes I understand this.
I think I tried this in the past and Google Services has been reported what has woken up, in this case, Hangouts. Hangouts is very "aggessive" I found and will very often be active again.
I'll have a look at the scissors next time a app will be active.

A word of caution: some apps require such wakeups to function properly. So if after using the scissors, you find that the app is not functioning correctly, you can again long press it and then click the three dot menu at top right in Greenify. You will get an option to reattach whatever you had cut earlier.

I am not saying that you are wrong but just that I don't remember. I also don't think that it is of much use unless you have hundreds of apps.

Most of the apps will get (force) closed when cleared from recents. Only those with background services need actual "force close" button press. As advised, Greenify might accomplish what you're looking for.

Greenify is completely automated and done in the background. You can set whatever apps you want to close whenever you want.
I don't know of anything else that is as effective as it.
Also I wouldn't really be using these anymore as Android is more than capable of ram management.
Spare ram is wasted ram

Well, that's the risk you take. Most of the killed apps will re-launch themselves automatically, either right away or after a while, when they receive corresponding event/broadcast message. You did not specify why do you want to kill apps in the first place, but generic approach:
1. Greenify (link) - it will kill an app AND prevents automatic restart of an app (doesn't work at 100% though)
2. Disable specific service of an app, so it won't keep restarting (app might be unstable - crash)
3. Uninstall the app and find a better alternative which isn't always running
