I just installed WanamLite and he wrote that I should do the following to save battery life:
Disable auto sync for accounts
Disable GPS (and wifi gps)
Disable auto backup of Gmail account
Set wifi sleep policy to "Never"
Set brightness level to automatic
Disable motion
Check your apps settings and disable useless background sync
Disable useless animations

So I did some of them but still need to know how to:
Disable auto sync for accounts
Disable auto backup of Gmail account

I have no idea how to do those 3.

theres a toggle which you can just toggle on or off for auto sync.
go into settings then down to backup and restore and disable backup my data to disable the google backup.
and as for the last one if you go into data usage and on an app which has used data like fb for example (if you have fb obviously) theres an option where you can toggle weather an app can use background data or not and just do that for the apps that use data in the background
hope i explained it well enough!

when I disable the backup for my account, it says it will also delete everything from there, and I dont want that.
Also, I dont have the toggle for auto sync.. where can I get it?

for the toggle you can go into display > notification panel and then add it to your toggle panel also with the toggle in your panel you can keep it turned off but if you want to recieve your emails all you have to do is re enable it to force it to fetch all of your emails etc then you can disable it again thats a good way of saving quite allot of battery just on its own
and as for that if you delete your google account from the device then re add it and when it comes up with the would you like to activate backup & restore untick it then it shouldnt be enabled although i dont really think the google backup would use much battery anyways

well nothing actually, i just tap on the backup button and while its loading i can see that is says" daily backups will be made at 4:00" so I figured maybe it is eating my battery aswell. But now when I think about it it can't really drain anything since its a few seconds of backup. Lets just forget about it
Thanks for your help!

Check your applications that initiate gps, maybe you can disable them manualy.

Hi
After the latest update (June 2016) with the screen off my phone doesn't receive SMS - and those that "aren't received" dont ever appear.
I've done loads of testing with Messenger and Textra and different senders, and with my service provider.
Solution:
Disable the background task clear in Settings - Background task clear (slidey switch to turn off)
Well spotted, I didn't even realize I had this issue until reading your piece and then upon checking I got the same issue after taking the latest update, now I wondering just how many SMS's I have not received?
Hi, how is this problem solved? Settings > ?

Background Task Clear - Overkill ?
Hey there TechiumDog,
I had the same problem. Have only done light testing as yet, but the problem seems to have been corrected by just whitelisting my default SMS app (Chomp).
Is there a particular reason you suggest turning the whole Background Task Clear function off, rather than just whitelisting ?
Am I missing something ?
Thanks, TurramurraTim
OMG, now I know why none of the wake up apps I tried didn't work

Hi, sorry for this other thread but I have many issues with this phone.
I have installed the app called Navbar Animations, the app works just installed, then after a few seconds it does not work anymore.
I get a notification of the android system where I am told that navbar animations is running in the background, but it does not work, there are no animations.
in the settings of my phone I set the running in the background and I authorized the app not to be subjected to the optimization of the battery.
when I turn the phone back on, it works for a moment and then no longer. the same thing happens sometimes after closing the apps in multitasking
I also asked the developer of the app that told me that it is a problem related to my phone and that he does not know how to help me.
could someone help me?
new Infos. when the phone is in charge the animations works fine....
it seems to me that the phone kill navbar animation in background (when not in charge of course)...

Force the app to ignore battery optimisations.
Go to Settings/Apps & notifications/Apps
tap on Settings/Special access/Ignore battery optimisation and change your app to Allowed.

Go to Apps, find it and go to data usage and allow everything - background, data and wifi.
Then go to security and give administration and also check either accessibilities or notification and check apps with usage
Then go back to Apps and give it all permissions

hi,
in the administrators of device there is only "find my device" and no other....
no ideas?
(new here and to OPPO)
Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?
Edit:just found what Athena supposedly does, removing this fixed it for you?
Edit2:
Crowbar Asdfghjkl said:
According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

Using this I have got some more notifications to behave more normally, but things like SoundCloud player will sometimes decide not to show up, is there anything more I can do?

Also the messenger that im using (Viber)
It also seem that it learns what app you use the most and kinda know to let notification through..

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]
Just thought I would share my no frills tasker project.
Simply, it activates AOD when selected notifications arrive. With the option to disable at certain times of the day, e.g. at night. When all selected notifications are cleared, AOD is disabled.
Currently I have it set up for textra, messages and Gmail, but you can add or remove programs easily from within the task.
You need tasker and tasker settings ([url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.taskersettings[/URL]) installed to make it work.
Just hold your finger on the home button at the bottom of the tasker screen and import.
Also make sure tasker in enabled in the phone notification access settings.
Feel free to modify and post back any improvements if you like.
Definitely better than those apps that work half the time, i tried aodnotify and automate with aod addon's but both stop functioning after a day or so. Tasker should be foolproof.
I've imported the profile but it's saying there's no active profiles

Have you saved the changes to the profile, think they're is a tick in the to right. Also made sure the profiles are switch on. As the profiles are event based, they won't become active until all events in a profile are matched. It is possible to have 2 conflicting events in a profile that will never allow a profile to become active of any changes are made. There shouldn't be any conflicts in the uploaded project.

I have a locked and unrooted phone, and have not needed to give these permissions to tasker for these routines to work. I only had to install the Tasker Settings add on from the plat store to allows tasker to make this work. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.taskersettings

Done that but it doesn't work either, I'll try that permission settings a little later, would be a nice thing to work
Thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for in the past. Much better than aodnotify that I paid for.
It works as it should be, but my question is that the aod display is different than what I choose (AOD style)
When I unlocked the device and lock it, it'll activate the AOD style that I already selected in system settings.
Thank you very much.
I've just tried to use this method but after following the steps written from earlier posts. I only get the " No active profiles." notification from tasker. Here are the steps I've taken:
1. installed tasker and tasker settings
2. enabled tasker to change system settings
3. imported the profile from the OP provided
4. turned the 2 profiles on after import
Is there anything I'm missing?
Tasker is possibly waiting for an event to happen to activate the profile. Have you tried sending your self a message, the switch of the screen before it arrives?
Yes I have. Unfortunately nothing happens. I've tried restarting my phone, reinstalled tasker and tasker settings and reimporting the profile. Same result. One thing I forgot to mention earlier is I am testing this on my S8 plus. I'm planning to upgrade to a s20 soon and saw a post about this from the s20 forums and thought I'd try this out as I'd really like to have Notification LeD alternative on my next phone coming from S8+.
Have the same 'no active profiles' thingie. Tried Tasker settings and adb but no go

You could try removing the apps in the notification setting in the 2 profiles and re selecting the apps you use. As far as I am aware the same command is used on the s8+ and the s10. Also make sure tasker is enabled in notification access in the phone settings
I've tried that as well. Same result, I get the notification "no active profile".
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------
Just an update. I still get the no active profile notification from tasker. But I've decided to re-import tasker file one more time and got the always on display to work only when I wake up the screen after the new notification is received. Once those have been dismissed or read, the always on display will not wake up again for new notifications until I turn on the screen again. Is that how it is suppose to behave from tasker?
