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?

I have installed greenify and greenified a number of apps. However, the screen now flickers on a lot of applications (Falcon Pro, XDA etc.). Any way to fix it? Thanks a lot in advance.

Did you try to uninstall Greenify and check whether the problem is solved? IMO, it is not Greenify but something else.

I think that it will not work unless you disable sync for Chrome and disable prefetch for YouTube.

Sync for Chrome is not active... I think this is a bug if the broadcast can wake the application.

Suspect it is not a flaw in Greenify. Chrome and other Google apps have increasing linkage to Play Services which has its own way of communicating. Try Opera if you want a chromium like experience without the Chrome bloat.
Hey guys,
just stumbled over the two settings ignore background-free and ignore working state.
im wondering if its recommended to check both settings for an app like snapchat (which caused me a huge constant wake lock yesterday)? i can get me an explanation for "ignore working state" but i dont really get behind "ignore background-free". what does it mean? would you enable it for most apps?
or should i just accept that snapchat hung itsself once and that it wont happen that often?
thanks!

Yep - a single occurance means nothing. App coughed up a fur ball. Happens.
Leave 'ignore background-free unchecked' unless there's ample evidence that suggests Greenify got it wrong (not likely).

Sure - but what's the point? The whole purpose of Greenify is to rein in misbehaving apps which usually manifests as unwanted background activity. The only apps that should overtly Greenified on Android 6 and above are demonstrated bad actors. Doze take care of the rest.
