Hi, I can not automate hibernate from applications. Even having already done for Greenify:
1. Enabled accessibility services.
2. Activated as device administrator.
3. Enabled application with access to use.
4. It is enabled for apps that want to hibernate: "ignore running state" and "ignore background-free".
5. I have already cleared the cache, the data, forced the stop, uninstall and reinstall Greenify.
6. In "Troubleshooting", via pc (ADB and USB Debugging), I enabled: "Awakened Application Tracker", "Quick Activation Notification" and "Service Guardian".
7. Reset factory.
8. I've never been warned that automatic hibernation has stopped working.
I always need to confirm the closure of each app manually.
And that way, when the apps auto-start again (without me opening them), Greenify does not hibernate them, they appear in the notification bar and I need to hibernate manually.
I already tried with the option "alternative screen off mode" checked and unchecked, but I get the same result, as well as "quick action notification".
Greenify Free Version: 3.8.5, without use Xposed

Thanks!

Automatic hibernation will happen only when the screen locks that too after sometime. Not when you are using the phone.
Can you give the name of an app (as an example) which refuses to hibernate?
Automatic Hibernation and Automated Hibernation are not working
I understand that it is an automatic hibernation and a shutdown time of the screen. Automatic Hibernation does not work, instead of a screen, with this option enabled, after 35 sec the screen switches back on and off quickly. That's only 1 app to hibernate. When manually connecting a screen and checking Greenify, nothing happened. None of the applications scheduled to hibernate have been hibernated, and sometimes others that have already hibernated have self-initialized. Therefore, I have disabled Automatic Hibernation, whether enabled or not, Automated Hibernation does not work.
Both Automatic Hibernation and Automated Hibernation are not working. Automated Hibernation is responsible for not having to manually tap the screen, so that each app is forcibly finalized. These issues (from not working Automatic Hibernation like Automated Hibernation) I'm facing in Greenify for all the apps I put on the hibernation list, I've attached an image with a few. Failure in Automated Hibernation can be seen in the screenshots I've attached. I always need to tap "Ok" to continue hibernation, ie manual hibernation, because the Automated Hibernation feature is not working.

I have recently noticed that I enable the Greenify accessibility option, but when trying to hibernate the app, automated hibernation does not occur and automatic hibernation after turning off the screen also does not work. Then I turn the accessibility options to check: Greenify is disabled. I re-enable, but the option is disabled when trying to hibernate by Greenify.

Accessibility option needs to be enabled only if you are not rooted. But with Google recently changing the policy regarding apps using the Accessibility service, it may not work at all for Greenify.
Regarding your issue, I have not come across anyone else complaining of similar behaviour. How long do you wait after screen off to check if an app is hibernated?
Enable Automatic Hibernation in Root mode, choose a few apps for hibernation. Start each of the apps chosen for hibernation and then close them. Lock the screen and wait for about 15 minutes. Now unlock the screen and open Greenify and take a screenshot. Attach it here or post it anywhere and provide the link to it.
Also let us know what ROM you are using, whether rooted or not, whether using Xposed or not etc.

I cleaned the cache, removed all the data, uninstalled it, and reinstalled Greenify. But it did not solve the problem. Even the accessibility option being enabled can not terminate the apps.

I removed all the data and cache and uninstalled the app. I became a tester and installed the app beta, but the result was the same. Even if I enable accessibility to the app, I still have to tap the OK button on the screen for each app I want to hibernate.

Did you enable the Quick Action Notification? If so, you may have to manually hibernate each app.
Since I am rooted, I am not able to reproduce your scenario. I think that your ROM or device may be incompatible since your other phone behaves as expected.

Assume you do not have shallow hibernation and/or aggressive doze enabled. Me thinks Greenify is activating the lock screen via a standard Android call that bypasses kernel support for double tap. Probably not going to find an easy fix on an unrooted system given age of platform, ROM generation and uniqueness of issue (do not recall this being reported before).
Go-to Developer Options and Disable Miui optimisations, Greenify will work now.
Don't know why, but it will work.
Thank you but my developer option does not contain Miui optimisations.

If I hibernate an app like Facebook, its hibernated.. why does it wake back up? how can it wake back up if I dont open it or call it or do anything to share to it etc...Makes no sense.
I am rooted with greenify installed, I hibernate Facebook. Facebook is set to no chat, no notifications, nothing.. it has everything you can disable disabled... yet time after time again of hibernating it, I wake my screen up and do a manual manual hibernation OR i open greenify and Facebook is right there under Apps that will be hibernated soon. i can see the message tha says "Facebook was hibernated when i do a manual hibernation but it always seems to come back on its own.
There are quite a few apps which will wake up Facebook in the background. In particular, any apps which offer to allow you to sign in via a Facebook identity. Even though you might not have signed up via Facebook, those apps will often wake up FB anyway.
If you want to ensure FB doesn't wake up, then you need to install Xposed framework, enable the Greenify module in Xposed and then tick the option on Greenify for Wake-up Tracker and Cut-off. You can then disable having other apps open FB.

How can I disable other apps from waking up FB (or in general waking up other apps)? Via Greenify? Or do I need another app?
You need to root, then look up the thread on xda on how to install Xposed framework.
Then enable Greenify on Xposed.
Then there is an option in Greenify to cut off the wake ups

All done before. But beside a text notification below the name of the greenified app stating which app woke up the greenified app there is no possibility to cut off those wake-ups.
If you highlight FB on Greenify there should appear a scissors icon on the top left.

Ah, yes. This was the option I was looking for. Thank you
For other users facing the same problem: selecting the app that has been woken up (still running, not yet greenified) by long-press -> clicking on the appearing scissor symbol in the action bar will open a pop up notification where you have to confirm you want to prevent this greenified app from being woken up by other apps.

Hmm, quite difficult to take a screenshot, as I can't find another app on my device which wakes up other apps as I have already cut off all such apps.
Try the following steps:
1. Open an app of which you know that it wakes up FB.
2. Close this app or go back to your homescreen.
3. Open Greenify and go to the section, where all apps that are greenified are shown (not the section where you can add apps to be greenified!) -> should be start page by default.
4. Now you should see that the app you have opened is running, but also FB, which has been woken up by this app.
5. Long press on the FB entry.
6. Now the scissor symbol should appear in the action bar and you can prevent FB from being woken up.

You seem to have some issue. I see that one app says it was woken up by 'Home' which means that Wake up Tracker and Cutoff is enabled. But the other apps do not say how they were woken up.
Better uninstall Greenify and then reinstall following the recommended procedure and for good measure clean up data also.

Had the same problem, and this solved it! Thanx, this setting is sooooo non-intuitive...
I cut FB from SayHi and Skout. then i decided that i might actually want to have SayHi to be able to wake up FB, so I reattached it. but it seems to have reattached everything else to FB. and I can't see the scissors icon anymore. FB doesn't say "woken up by..", it now says "content provided: AttributionIdProvider". I have tried clearing data and reinstalling the 3 apps and Greenify itself, didn't fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm on rooted S4 mini LTE running Android 4.4.2 stock and Greenify 2.6 beta 8.
nvm, scissors are showing on Greenify 2.5.2.
Is the "Track and Cut Off" function still on Greenify? I can't find it in version 2.7.1. Or is it a paid function?

Yesterday the Dev stated this in another sub thread:
"Since the wake-up cut-off engine is upgraded in 2.6, Greenify now does not list the detailed paths cut-off due to the complexity, and the "re-attach" action re-attaches all the paths cut-off. I'm planning to bring back more details in Greenify for cut-off paths in the future version."
So is the Cut-off thing just for the donation version?

As I am using the donation version and have this option available, whereas you don't have this option, I would say: yes. But have you tried looking for the scissor icon for different apps? The wakeup-path cut-off option does not work for all apps, so you might want to check it by clicking on apps that are listed under "running" when you open Greenify (main screen).

I have recently bought the donation pack for greenify and I have several questions. First of all, I want to say that the app is really fulfilling all my expectations but as someone worried about my battery performance I still have some question, but first I'll say the conditions of my smartphone:
Samsung galaxy s5 with lollipop using greenify 2.5.2 donation pack (non rooted)
Questions:
1) I cannot see apps like chrome to be greenified and I want to have them like that as I see chrome takes up to several hours of internet connection even if I have just used it for some minutes. I wonder this is possible because I suppose this can be made as in other apps like battery killers, chrome can be killed, but I just haven't seen how.
2) Everytime I open greenify there are many "pending" apps that are not hibernated, even if I click in "zzz" button or in the button that says "hibernate and turn off the screen". The only way to deal with these pending apps is to select all of them and click on "zzz". I guess there should be a way to have them automatically hibernated.
3) There is an option in the menu that talks about an automatic manner to do this but I don't see how to activate it. I have it marked the greenify options for locking the screen but there are even more things to set that I don't see where and how. Maybe you can guide me in this better. In case I have this option chosen, pending apps will be automatically closed after some minutes, as it is said? if so, how many minutes?
Thanks in advance!

Have you set Greenify to "on" in SETTINGS>Accessibility?
If you want to manually hibernate, create the shortcut from within Greenify (use the three button icon on the top right). When you use the shortcut, the chosen apps will be hibernated and the screen will be locked afterwards.
In Autohibernate, the time taken for hibernation varies but all apps should be hibernated within 10 minutes max.
For hibernating system apps like Chrome, I think you need root permission.
Yes, the accesibility for Greenify is set to activated. However this options is never enabled within the "experimental settings" menu. It's always set to off. So I have never seen my phone awaking ten minutes after to turn off all pending apps. They remain opened. Any hint?.
Best regards!

When you click the "always off" Automatic Hibernation option in Experimental Features, what happened? It is supposed to be a accessibility setting dialog for you to enable the accessibility service from Greenify for the first time, then Device Admin dialog to enable the other service for the second time, and being checked at last for the third time.
Here I post the sequence I do in screenshots. Evrytime I click in that button it appears the same dialog. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...but i dont get it working and I have to hibernate manually pending apps
Thanks for helping! ?

Yes! it was that!. I supposed it was enough by allowing greenify in the security menu. Thanks!
However, I wanted to have it working because I thought it was the only way to have pending apps hibernated because with the button "hibernate and lock" was not hibernating pending apps. After rebooting the phone (thing that I do seldom) it works as I expected. I guess this was the cause why greenify wasn't worked as I expected. Then, for me it is ok if I have that button since it does what I expected to.
Thanks to all!
I want to report an issue with Greenify (2.7.1) which causes space-swype on the Samsung Keyboard to be disabled.
The phone: Galaxy Note 2, custom recovery, rooted, stack ROM.
The Greenify app works perfectly, but when XPOSED experimental features are enabled and ticked ON via Settings->My Device->Accessibility: Services - Greenify, the Samsung keyboard won't change the language = one cannot swype the spacebar to change the language.
Once this Service is enabled no matter what - the keyboard issue will remain permanent.
How it is solved now: Uninstall Greenify via Xposed: Works. Then Reinstall Greenify via Play Store but DO NOT TOUCH the Service-Greenify.
Questions: is it real bug? How can one solve it without reinstalling the app? Any other technical ideas are highly welcome.
@Notizer:
Which mode are you using? The Accessibility setting needs to be enabled only if you are using non rooted mode according to the Dev. So if you are using root or boost mode, do not enable Greenify in Accessibility setting. You should not lose any functionality because of that.

I am rooted phone, but actually I do not know what " does rooted mode" mean - I did not see any "mode" in Greenify itself. For the best of my understanding I run a rooted mode.

Greenify has three modes, 'Non Root, 'Root' and 'Boost'. You can access them by clicking the three dot menu on top right side of Greenify app and then clicking Experimental Features. The first option is the mode. Set it to 'Boost' if you have Xposed and have enabled Greenify in Xposed. Disable Greenify in Accessibility and then check your issue. By the way, do you have the donation package of Greenify or the free version?
Dev means the developer of the app, in this case oasisfeng.

The first option is the mode. Set it to 'Boost' if you have Xposed and have enabled Greenify in Xposed. Disable Greenify in Accessibility and then check your issue. By the way, do you have the donation package of Greenify or the free version?
Dev means the developer of the app, in this case oasisfeng.

Oh, thanks! Never knew that I can tap on "Working Mode" in Greenify! I use a free version.
So, I have Exposed and I enabled the Greenify module there, next I came back to Greenify itself and changed the Mode to Boost.
Could you please explain what the Greenify in Accessibility menu serves for?

I am not sure but I think that it enables Greenify to have access to notifications so that the relevant app can be woken up when a notification is received.
Is your problem solved? By the way, did you reboot after enabling Greenify in Xposed?

Hm, it is very interesting what is the function of this "Greenify" accessibility feature...
Since it was quite a pain to solve the swipe issue I did not enable again the Greenify in accessibility menu - I need the phone in full functionality now.
Probably I'll try to play with this feature later, but it was one-way road - I could not switch it off, thus again... I decided to postpone these "jokes"...

@Notizer:
The Accessibility setting needs to be enabled only if you are using non rooted mode according to the Dev. So if you are using root or boost mode, do not enable Greenify in Accessibility setting. You should not lose any functionality because of that.

Since you are now using boost mode, you don't have to enable Greenify in Accessibility.

Thanks for your help!
I have the same problem after the last update with my Galaxy S3. If I enable accessibility it doesn't change the language on the keyboard, and if I disable the accessibility, it doesn't let me to stop any app that I select to stop. No-root device, no-root mode for greenify.
Any solutions for that?
Thanks

Have you granted permissions to Greenify using adb? If so, the app should work.

I'm losing my will to live just in the first few hours of using this thing.
OK - so, unless you have a Chinese phone number, you can't log in to My Oppo which means, i'm told, you can't change the launcher and the built in launcher is a real piece of human solid waste.
Anyway, on to the subject...
No matter what setting i select, it kills off tasks like Gmail, WhatsApp, Timely etc. when the screen turns off and doesn't restart them until i OPEN the app again! I mean, seriously1?!?!?!111ELEVENTY!?! WTF!?
I've done the following:
Turned off Smart Power Saver (ALL OF IT)
Just to be sure, turned off Smart Power Saver for individual apps
Used the old trick of turning Data Saver ON
For EACH app turned ON "Allow Auto Startup" and "Allow Auto Startup of Other Apps"
For EACH app, entered Power Saver, selected "Allow Background Running"
This is a COMPLETE show stopper and I can't fathom how a phone, that's built to receive messages when turned off, will NOT receive messages!
If anyone has ANY ideas, i could possibly fall in love with them!

Thanks but, nope, made no difference
surprising for me locking the app, giving it auto start permission and going in app settings and giving it the option to always run in background, works fine.

As for the launcher weirdness & other de-bloating,check here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-X/how-to/guide-adb-oppo-x-apps-safe-to-uninstall-t3818165
As for G-Mail working properly:
Go to the G-Mail app settings & ensure the following:
1) Power Saver: Allow Background Running
2) Manage Notifications: Allow EVERYTHING,then,if needed,close those toggles that might not apply to your usage.
3) Check permissions & allow as you see fit.
4) Allow Auto Startup
In RECENTS,pull down on the G-Mail app to lock-in
In PHONE/SYSTEM SETTINGS:
Notifications & Status Bar > Manage Notifications > GMail App & verify the same as accomplished in the GMail app settings.
Further down the screen,verify all of your GMail account(s) are present & showing the type of notifications you want.
In PHONE/SYSTEM SETTINGS:
Go to SECURITY > PERMISSIONS & verify all desired permissions are granted,by both headers PERMISSIONS & APPS.
In PHONE/SYSTEM SETTINGS:
Go to BATTERY:
Ensure Power Saver is OFF
Ensure Smart Power Saver is OFF
Custom Power Saver: Go to GMail > ensure Allow Background Running is enabled (A LOT OF REPEAT/REDUNDACNY,AIN'T COLOR OS GREAT,LOL)
App Quick Freeze:Go to GMail & toggle it OFF (This is likely the culprit,I missed it myself on initial set-up).
Hope this helps............... :good:

Hi!
Thank you for taking the time to detail the reply, very much appreciated.
For the launcher, i'm at work now but will certainly try that when I get home and I really hope it works. Already have Nova installed so, ready to rock.
Re the incredibly aggressive power saving:
I did ALL of those settings yesterday, including the lock of active apps but, it made no difference. Now, what has me REALLY confused is that I woke up this morning and WhatsApp is now running constantly! When I went to sleep it was NOT working!! I mean, WTF!?
I've now locked a few more apps (Messenger etc.) to see if they mysteriously change to constant running. So far, they are not but, maybe there is some system process that's run on a period that changes that? Very, very strange.
I'll update that Bloatware thread with my experience later today with thanks/comments.
Again, thank you and have a cracker!

If all you want to do is remove/change system apps without having to register, use the procedure KOLIOSIS posted above, works PERFECTLY.
Nope. The phone is STILL killing apps. Now it's decided in the last 30 minutes that no matter what I do, Android Wear will not be allowed to run!
I'm so f*#cking sick of this phone. Fantastic hardware f##ked but incredibly aggressive power management. Hate it.

Similar issues here with my Samsung Gear S2,strange thing about it is just yesterday,I was apparently having a typical pairing/usage,getting all of my notifications to show up on it.
Now,a day later,the only connection available is for phone calls,the one thing I do not use my watch for,SMMFH....
The one difference is after I paired & set-up my watch,later that evening,I paired my Jabra Elite Active 65t buds,the connection is solid.
Gonna unpair the earbuds,reboot the phone,re-pair the watch & see what happens.
If this remains FUBAR,it is likely the straw that's breaking the camel's back,this & the limit of 5 user apps to have auto-start on boot,WTF...............................
I know, right? Five auto-start apps?? Ffs! Give me a warning and then let me overide and do what I want!
Gmail?? It's syncing but will NOT stay on "Push" and keeps dropping back to 15 minute syncing.
Android Wear loses connection, I go in to the app and it asks me if I want to "stay connected?". It reconnects then 20 minutes later the same **** happens again.
Oppo, this is MY phone. If I wanted BS restrictions I'd have bought an iPhone.

No luck with the watch being the only BT device paired,I did everything,reboot/checked all the FUBAR Battery/Notification/Permission B.S., + the Gear Manager app & still only the phone profile in BT settings......
I've dealt with some s*** U/I's & bloatware,but,this tops it all,makes an iPhone look appealing......
This makes the VIVO NEX FunTouch look like a clean U/I by comparison.................
As it becomes a more common device, maybe a custom ROM might save it from eBay?

I'm doubting I'll hang in there long enough to find out, less some software updates to fix some of the madness.
The 5 user app limit on auto-start on boot is the biggest PITA, if that wasn't the case, the rest would likely work as it should.
No notifications in the status bar is a close 2nd on the list, tied with the default launcher B. S., all of this nonsense exists to coerce people to use OPPOs ecosystem & the various 3rd party apps they fold into the mix....
I went into this phone & the NEX with my eyes wide open, with the expectation of being laden with what is SOP in China, but, especially with this phone, I can't believe the lengths Oppo goes to for the sake of having you totally enrapt in the system, enough to even make Apple & Tim Cook blush.
Guess they'll go to any lengths to data mine, from the fillings in your teeth to the cavity on your backside......

Speaking of which, system update just released for me. Check for yourself, maybe you have one waiting? Mind you, not that it means it will help.

I'm on a galaxy s7 oreo in no root mode. As soon as I check the automatic hibernation option it uncheckes itself. I really want to setup greenify to auto hibernate my selected apps as soon as they start.

The option you cite will not accomplish that goal. Automatic hibernation activates shortly after screen-off...not when the app becomes active.

Gotcha, is there an option to either stop immediately, or even prevent an app from starting all together? If not, I would at least like to get the option that is not working working so it will at least activate on screen lock. Thanks.

I don't know why automatic hibernation is not staying checked on your device. There is probably a logical explanation; I just don't know it off-the-cuff.
Greenified apps generally remain hibernated unless 'activated' by an event or another app. It either case Greenify will note the trigger and give you the option to 'cut' it off.
You can enable 'wake up tracking' and 'quick action notification' in settings for additional flexibility/control. Greenify also includes a couple widgets and other controls (eg: long press action on nav bar) for manually invoking hibernation.
