So, I keep getting notifications from apps that's I've put to sleep. Only way to completely disable this is to do it through the system and disable notifications for that app. So, guess that apps are really not sleeping? Am I misunderstanding the function?

My Z2 isn't going into deep sleep while connected with the SmartBand. Greenify says that Smart Connect and org.codeaurora.bluetooth is running in the background, and i've confirmed with Wakelock Detector and BBS that it's not going into deep sleep with the SmartBand connected.
I tried uninstalling Smart connect and Smartband apps, as well as lifelog, and then sleeping the phone worked and I had no problems. I don't really want to give up the SmartBand, so is there anything I can do? I don't want to greenify the apps because I want the notifications..
You can always go into the smartband settings: I think it is edit settings and disable the motion setting and leave the notification setting checked. I hope this helps m8:good:
Can someone help me with which apps I can hibernate without shutting the app down completely to where it's not functioning or is that what greenify means? I don't what certain apps to be killed but also don't want them consuming a lot of battery or data running in background... Help please!!

Then Greenify is not for you. It closes unwanted apps when the screen goes off. It has no effect when the screen is on.
You select the apps that get hibernated when the screen is off. Generally, you look at which apps are using batter when the screen is off - and if what they're doing in background is unimportant to you you set them to be hibernated. If there are certain apps that you don't want hibernated - then don't set them to be hibernated. The hibernated apps are not shut down completely like with a task killer, just hibernated - the same as your system sometimes does.
If this sounds complicated, then, yeah, it's probably not for you. Buy an extended battery for your phone and be done.
If I've understood correctly there's no need to hibernate anything in order to user aggressive doze. So I don't use hibernation at all, but instead would like to user aggressive doze.
I'm rooted and have checked the on-the-go mode. I have also enabled the notification.
But there's no doze notification after the screen has been off for few minutes. How do I know if it is dozing or not?
thanks

I use Automagic (same idea as Tasker, but I find it much easier to understand and use). It has a trigger for when the phone enters doze mode (and another for when it exits). I can use these triggers to perform conditional actions like enable/disable Bluetooth/WiFi etc., or, say, make a sound, send a message to my Pebble watch, etc. In my case (unrooted phone) I have it make sounds. Using Automagic to do this kind of stuff does not seem to mess up the phone going into/coming out of doze mode.
You can also enable a Greenify notification that shows when the phone goes in/out of aggressive doze...

Thanks. It seems that it works now. I just needed to wait for a longer time.
Just remember that doze is not a full replacement for hybernation. It may prevent wakelocks but bad apps can still run background processes loading CPU and consuming battery when phone periodically wakes up from doze as well as every time you are using your phone.

I'm using CM13 and new to using Greenify as I just bought the donation package but have some questions that I'm not sure about.
1. I have instant messaging apps (Whatsapp and WeChat) and games on my phone, when I finish using the app, I press the home button and have them running in the background, does that uses more battery or do I need to add the apps to the hibernation list?
2. Should I use hibernate or shallow hibernation as I switched from iPhone to OnePlus 3 and on the iPhone when I reopen the app, it will return to where I left it.
3. I have enabled aggressive doze so that it will go to sleep mode when the screen is off, will I get delay Whatsapp and Wechat messages or do I need to add it to the whitelist so notifications comes instantly when I receive them?
Many thanks!

1. Any app which is not greenified will run in the background once it is opened and then dismissed by the Home button. As far as the IM apps are concerned, the advice of the Dev is not to greenify them if you rely on them. However, some people have successfully greenified those IM apps which use GCM without issues but some others complain of delayed notifications. So it may be better not to greenify them if you rely on them. Of course they will consume more battery since they are running in the background.
2. If you want iPhone like behaviour, use shallow hibernation. Otherwise, the apps will start afresh.
3. It is better to add such apps to the white list.
i could be wrong.... but i noticed that most of the times aggressive doze does NOT exted the real battery life...... maybe it COULD extend it if you do not touch the phone for long periods like 2...4 hours at time, but if you make a normal usage of the phone i suspect that activating and deactivating doze is DRAINING more battery than it tries to save!!!
.........any other though?

Similar observation on battery savings. In most cases any power related benefits of aggressive doze are wiped out when the device wakes from its comma and performs a bunch of 'catch up' tasks. Such behavior can lead to lag immediately after wake which is a common complaint associated with aggressive doze. That said, aggressive doze may have other situational benefits...especially over longer durations. As always YMMV.
yes, i think about a person who does pick up the phone just every 4...5 hour at day because it is not important (for him) to always check the latest messages, and in that condition it could be useful the aggressive doze.
i even noticed that to disable the movement sensors is NOT a great thing...... of course great if someone is in car or moving everytime but it has the CON of turning on/off the brightness sensor of the phone and at every display power on the phone lags for 1/2 seconds.
i must admit that in the last years i've always used aggressivedoze/ or naptime and greenified lots of apps but i should reconsider the fact to UNinstall all....... and see if the battery life is really worse or not.

The sensor issue is device specific. I enable 'doze on the go' on all my devices and have yet to encounter the brightness glitch. However, I don't use the more aggressive sensor suppressions available in some apps. Note 'doze on the go' is enabled by default w/Android 7+.
After experimenting with countless apps/tools/techniques (ugh) my Android power management methodology has evolved to a 'lite touch' minimalist approach. I only take overt action when a specific drain can not be contained by other means. Greenify is the tool of choice with only a few bad actors in the explicit hibernation list. Android defaults handle everything else. My devices sleep soundly, behave predictably and score admirably low drain rates. App selection obviously plays into that. Big pigs like Facebook, Google everything and WhatsApp are not part of my portfolio as lighter alternatives exist. Good luck with your own adventures.
Hello all. My notification sounds keep resetting to default sound. I do go into all apps and stop apps at the end of the night before bed to make sure certain apps dont run till i need them the next day. Is it me turning off music or a certain app controlling the notification alerts for certain people i have set for (notification tones)? How do i stop this from happening? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
