How do I stop google play store and play services from running non stop in the background?? I have my location turned off, and privacy guard turned on, but somehow play services and google maps can get my location? Google play store runs something called "daily hygiene"and all three of these apps restart themselves when I kill them. I don't need play services running, when only the location part of it is running. When I try and disable autostart, receivers, freeze them, use advanced freeze through ROM toolbox, they either revert back instantly, or as soon as the phone reboots. Can anyone tell me how to get this crap to stop running when it's not being used, and stop getting location, or whatever other things I'm trying to keep private?
update
Update what?

Freeze them with titanium backup. It'll stick through a reboot.
Is there a way to make it stop constantly running in the background and become a cached process without freezing?

If you do not want to freeze them. You might try Greenify. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
Although system app hibernation might only be with the donation package. But I can't remember. Might want to read up on the OP in the link.
Use greenify
yes the best option is to use greenify which stops those apps run in background unnessecerily
Greenify can't auto hibernate apps in Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 running the latest Miui version 9.2.1.0 (details attached in screenshot below).Even after granting all the permissions, Greenify fails to click the force stop button & no apps are hibernated.
This is a major bug and leaves Greenify completely non functional in non rooted phones.
This issue must be fixed ASAP!

Not sure of your expectations or what you are trying to show with the video. Greenify does not remove apps from storage nor immediately reduce their memory footprint (although they may happen over time due to normal LMK behavior). It's singular purpose is to block unwanted background behavior without crushing functionality.
While you may have indeed identified a new 'bug' a single data point (your device) does not necessarily extend to all devices and configs - rooted or otherwise.

Yes brother.I know that Greenify doesn't remove apps from storage but what I'm trying to show here is that when you click on Hibernate Now, Greenify force closes the apps but in this case it fails to do the same.I am not the sole user facing this issue.
This problem has popped up after the latest miui update.
Thanks again

Appreciate the clarification (might want to shorten and/or annotate the video). So you claim the "problem" is related to the latest miui update but then extend the claim to all unrooted phones and demand Greenify "revert" ... to what?
I do see others raising issues with accessibility based functionality and there may indeed be a link. So far none have stated Greenify flat out does not work, only that automatic hibernation doesn't take place the screen is turned off.
Let's see how this plays out as more reports filter in.

Yes!You are correct.In a nutshell with the latest Miui Update (9.2) , Greenify doesn't hibernate the apps after screen lock even after being granted all the required permissions.
This happens in non-rooted devices
Hope that we will find a fix soon
Thanks a lot!

Turn Off MIUI Optimisation
I had same problem on my Mi Max 2 after MIUI update. To solve it just disable MIUI optimization under developer settings and reboot, Greenify will work again as it used to work before MIUI update.

Check v3.9.5 on Play Store. It seems to have the solution for your issue.

Are you able to grant special ADB Permissions via Pc brother in non rooted Mi device?
In my case,with usb debugging enabled and all permissions granted,I get an error saying "Neither user 2000 nor......."
Kindly help
Thanks
V 3.9.5 does not work on redmi note 3 (miui9)
I noticed this the hibernate now does not works because Xiaomi change force stop button layout.
Yes Sir correct it doesn't work in note 3

Me and others in MIUI forums had the same problem with only USB debugging turned on, this is what solved it:
Turn on the following option:
USB debugging -Debug mode when USB is connected
Install via USB -Allow installing apps via USB
USB debugging (Security Settings)- Allow granting permissions and simulating input via USB debugging
It's very simple
1 . Turn off miui optimisation under developer settings
2 . Turn on " FORCE ALLOW apps on external "under
developer settings.

Watch this ,
I think this will surely fix your problem.
I'm on xiaomi redmi note 5 pro (india) with miui 10.0.1
0. I'm having the same issue that greenify is not at all able to click the force stop option in the app page in the settings. This renders greenify completely useless in my device, since hibernation isn't working at all. I've been using greenify from last 5 years, and never faced an issue until now.

I really don't understand why you are using Greenify to go to an app and click force stop ... Why not just go directly to the MIUI settings and force stop it there ?
Anyway, on all my 4 Xiaomis, with the latest and greatest MIUI 10 8.9.2 Developer ROM as at this date, Greenify works perfectly.
Apps under Hibernation are as expected when viewed from the MIUI Settings, they are already Force Closed (Force Close button greyed out), with the Uninstall button available (not greyed out).
Under MIUI Settings, apps under Shallow Hibernation are not Force Closed, and clicking on the button Force Close will force close it and the button becomes greyed out, and after that, the Uninstall button will be ungreyed and available. When you go back to Greenify, the previously shallow hibernated app that was force closed is now under the section of the normal hibernation, no longer under shallow hibernation.
All fine on my side, MM and Nougat Xiaomis, I don't know about Oreo. I think Greenify is still needed for Xiaomi with Oreo, since Xiaomi seems to walk a different path than the others.

I have over 200 apps in my phone. So there are a lot of apps that need to be 'greenified'. And I've noticed that if you go into developer settings and disable 'miui optimisations', then greenify works perfectly. But for the rest, even if the app is open in the background and you select the option to hibernate it, the force close button is greyed out and nothing happens

Oh, yes, I forgot, of course I have MIUI OPtimizations disabled, always, less problems for me. All rooted too, with Greenify4Magisk, and some module to allow Play Services to be dozed.
Well, if an app cannot be force closed in the MIUI settings, then it is something else preventing it from being closed, and Greenify cannot override it. Gboard (Google Keyboard if used) I think is an example, if I remember. Only a few, and system apps which I would not touch anyway. I don't greenify important user message apps like Messenger or Whatsapp, though, I also Whitelist them from deep doze, just playing safe.
Excluding system apps, I have only a few user apps, less than 40 for sure. All greenified except a few I don't want greenified. As for system apps,
I froze many of them that I will never use and safe to freeze of course, surely stronger than doze or hibernate.

Ridiculous and counterproductive greenifying a huge app suite. Focus on those that demonstrate bad behaviors; ignore the rest.
So I've seen this issue occurring in almost every custom ROMs, is there a custom ROM without this issue? Of course other than MIUI. I need this because I have Bluetooth on all the time to get notifications on mi Mi Band 3
I would like to have a fix for this issue, too. I think it is a problem of all Android Pie roms.
Is there a way to solve the issue now? I'm having troubles with this, the speed is under 5Mbps not even enough to watch a 1080p 60fps video on YouTube...is there a kernel maybe which has not this issue? Is it present on official MIUI ROMs too?
Try this
In Developer Options, go to Running Services.
In Goggle Play Services stop NearbyMessagingService.
It's temporary, it will run again once in a while. I think using an app like DisableService may disable it definitely, but it needs root.

Wow it worked...what is this service for? Will I get notifications and call alerts on my mi band 3 while stopped or not?
This is just awesome, I'll find a way to disable this service for good.
It worked like a charm, and I'm still getting notifications in my Mi Band 3. I used this app

To disable the service permanently. Thanks a lot.

Hello, i'm a possessor of a huawei p9 lite, but i'm changing it because it has problems with background apps. I need to use apps like appblockers that works in background and are very important to me. I'm willing to buy the redmi 6a but i need to know if it has problems with killing the app in background. thanks>!
Have you cheched in the phone manager's battery settings to set your apps as they don't have to close?
You have to open Phone Manager, go to Battery section and select protected apps or something similar and then set the switch as you wish on the app you want to keep running.
Also, if you need it, there's the AppLock feature always in the phone manager.
Btw I've just bought online the Redmi 6A so on Tuesday I'll be able to tell u if it keep apps but I think it will be the same as huawei devices: you first need to set the app as permitted to run in background

Yeah i set every setting possible to inhibit the close of the application, in battery managment, app managment, set the app as home app, etc. I tried everything and still the app does not work properly. Yeah please let me know if your redmi 6a work then
I have an honor 7a and it happens that if I use more apps at once (keeping them in background) after some time, other apps gets closed.
It should happen because of the ram that can't keep many processes and so it closes it or something like this.
Very annoiyng of course.
If it isn't because of the phone manager, than it's related to hardware limitations
I received my new phone some weeks ago and actually is a Redmi 6 and not a 6A
BTW the apps are not getting closed and even if they do, you just need to change the settings in battery manager.
MIUI have a way better power management.
Love it

I am using a china k20 pro that has beennreflasked to the stock global mi 9t pro stock rom that I was running without magisk/root as I didn't really need it when I first changed over to global. Mi main banking app breaks if the phone is rooted, even if you use magisk hide.
I don't usually use Google pay but noticed that it would not work with the unlocked bootloader but it didn't bother me. ended up with the same CTS fail problem so I decided to install magisk and hoped that the banking app want broken any more. Unfortunately there are now a few more finance apps that can detect magisk than I had before.
In trying to solve my problem I have just discovered a work around solution that seems to solve the magisk root detect problem for any app, at least the few that I have tried it with. I have not tried it without magisk being installed but it may solve the unlocked bootloader problem for goat, netflix etc as well.
Miui comes with a feature called App Lock. A secure zone that can isolate an app behind a finger print, can hide notifications, can hide an app completely to make it secret.
If you lock the banking or payment app that is breaking because the phone has been rooted in the app locker, the app cannot see that the phone has magisk installed and works flawlessly. The only difference is that you now get asked for your fingerprint when you open the app and have an extra level of security. Probably something we should all use anyway.
For custom roms, the play store does have other app locker type programs available to install. They may allow you to solve the same problem and might be worth testing.
Does not work with YONO app please help.
You also need to use magisk hide and to change the name of the magisk app.
Those to steps usually work but for the HSBC banking apps at least the extra step using app lock fixes it
Magisk hide in the shield menu. Top option opens you lust of apps. Find you bank app in the list and tap the mane to open the drop-down sub apps then click the check box and ensure that all parts of the app get the enable toggle set on.
Airfreeze app might also solve your problem. Freeze magisk when it's not needed. Don't use yono or other app when unfrozen
