I've just been setting up my new Shield tablet to work with Greenify. Aggressive Doze is enabled, but Shallow Hibernation seems to be missing.
This has happened with both the stock software and a CM13-based ROM. To my knowledge, both Xposed and SuperSU are correctly installed, since Greenify is able to run in Boost mode.
Does this tablet (or the Tegra K1) just not support shallow hibernation? Or is there a setting I need to change?

Anyone using Endomondo has mentioned this App could not track your outwork? Greenify in my device is beta version. I am not adding endomondo in the greenify list. If I put the Endomondo in the aggressive doze whitelist, it could not tracking.

this is also happening to me: problem is with sensor being shut off even with the "doze on the go" mode deactivated. There is NO WAY to let Device out of Aggressive Doze with significative motion so basically any tracking app will not working correctly, even if whitelisted (app is working, GPS not).

I have the exact same issue with RunKeeper. After some 10 minutes Greenify forced my phone into Doze and RunKeeper tracked my bike ride only after I turned on the app, but even then it logged my ride as a straight line from A to B.
NOTHING helped. My phone is an Xperia Z3 running Marshmallow 6.0.1, I used 2.9 stable and some betas, and none of the advanced options helped - whitelisting RunKeeper, disabling Shallow hibernation, Aggresive hibernation, Wakeup coalescing... only after I uninstalled Greenify things went back to normal.
And no, I did not add RunKeeper to be greenified. Nor was Doze on the go enabled.
UPDATE: I went back to 2.8.1 and everything works just fine.
Same thing.. I froze the greenify and endomondo is doing fine on version 3 above
Result:
Revert back to version 2.8 and solve the problem as robogo suggest
I use Greenify with shallow hibernation.
I noticed that various apps like Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp and Tapatalk sometimes are offline when I try to use (to refresh a page, to check a status or a message, etc.). After minutes and casually they return online. I'm sure that it is not a connection problem, and if I substitute shallow hibernation with normal hibernation this problem does not exists. So I think that it is a shallow hibernation bug. This happens with all the last versions of Greenify, beta and stable.
Do you have any feedback?
My system is a rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 stock 6.0.1.

I experience something similar with Youtube, Maps and Firefox which i greenified: sometimes, when i resume them from hibernation, they can't go online. The connection is ok and other apps can connect but not those ones. Try to hibernate them again manually with the greenify button, then reopen them and see if they can connect.
Did you also disable any broadcast receiver for the problematic apps?
Are you still experiencing this problem after one year?
i'm on a sony stock 6.0.1 rom
Real question why use shallow hibernation? What problem/behavior are you attempting to address? Although native to Android 6+ it seems this mode is automatically utilized by normal/regular/standard doze as needed. I don't see a benefit to using it globally but obviously individual situations vary.

I'm answering this a month later but would like to point out that for me Shallow Hibernation is amazing.
I have a device with plenty of memory for my usage, so I don't need the app to be wiped out of memory every time, just to be set as inactive.
For example, I found that Spotify is a great candidate for Shallow Hibernation.
Whenever I'm listening music on my computer, my phone has a tendency to stay awake because of Spotify Connect.
However if I shallow hibernate it, it won't keep the phone awake but still be kept in memory for me to use whenever I want. The same things goes for Maps, Youtube, and some games.
I’ve put an “Hibernate and Sleep” shortcut at homescreen and works really great.
I have greenify installed on xiaomi redmi note 4 snapdragon (mido) on lineageOS 13 with xposed(v87) module enabled and donation apk installed. There is a weird error happening with greenify installed. Whenever I open shareit app to send something, it freezes as soon as it tries to discover greenify on app tab. There after it stops responding until it Force closes/crashes.
This problem is specific to greenify v3.6.x and upto 3.5.2 everything works smooth. Following features as enabled-
1. xposed module
2. aggressive doze
3. wake up tracing and cut off
4. automated hibernation
5. xposed settings - doze on go, wake up coalescing, telephony wake up, dont remove notification, block app state abuse, GCM push.
Please consider looking into it as shareit is really useful app and i dont seem to use it.
Although on nougat shareit and greenify behaves properly.

Try disabling aggressive doze. It buys little/nothing in battery savings while introducing a host of other issues. May or may not fix your specific issue but easy enough to try. Toss in a reboot after twiddling the setting to insure a clean test.
On my Mate 9 (running Oreo 8.0, no root) I installed Greenify, but Greenify displays that e.g. Opera is greenified, but in an Android task manager (Android Assistant app) it shows it is still eating CPU. The same applies to e.g. Brave browser which has 'no background' according to Greenify.
Does Greenift really hibernate apps ?

Of course it does. The size/activity in this forum plus frequent mentions in respected publications over many years should offer some clues to its integrity. Whether it is working on your device is a different matter.
Greenify does best on rooted devices as unharnessed ROMs can both undo actions and/or misrepresent status. It's quite possible an app placed in hibernation was later woken via internal trigger that Greenify can not suppress on an unrooted device. In the case of Opera (my preferred browser) there is regular syncing of tabs and downloading of *cough* 'news' if you have those features enabled.
I also question info coming out of the "Android Assistant" app. On my device it claimed all apps had zero CPU...including itself. Also did not display system partitions correctly nor properly detect the sensor suite. Granted I only spent a few minutes poking around. Maybe some switches needed to be thrown.
Finally, you probably don't need Greenify on Oreo as Doze does a find job with power management.

Don't I really need Greenify on oreo? Is Doze on Oreo really that good? Can you confirm please? I've been always using Greenify but if I don't need it on Oreo, I'll remove it

Well don't take my word for it. Simply remove all apps from Greenify's hibernation list (hopefully there are not many there), observe device behavior over the next few days then make your own decision.

Well, thanks for information. Just made a quick research and everyone says Greenify is trash on Oreo. So I just uninstalled it. Thanks for heads up. Glad I've seen your comment

Trash? Err-no. I have it installed on every one of my devices for valid reasons. Needed for generic power management on Doze capable ROMs? Probably not (and as such serving no purpose). Enjoy your device.

ok, but, when Greenify hibernates an app, you don't get notificaton froms this app, but when Android itself hibernates the app, you still get notifications, how does these two compare?
Click to expand...

It varies by app, developer approach and user settings. Many apps will experience delayed notifications with Doze while other punch right through. Greenify can be configured to permit notifications but only if the app utilizes GCM (Firebase). Aggressive doze, light hibernation, Xposed framework availability and several other variables contribute to notification behavior. If your head is spinning it should! End users should not need to know the contents of the underwear drawer. Best practice is to simply let Android do its thing without 3rd party tools unless one understands their behavior and application. At one time such tools were needed to achieve acceptable app/device performance and battery life. Not so today. Is such a simplistic solution 'optimal' form an enthusiasts point-of-view? Probably not. It is acceptable/reasonable from an end-user perspective? In most cases 'yes' yielding a good balance of performance and battery life with minimal interaction for those who simply want to enjoy their device vs. manage it. Good luck with whatever direction you choose.
Agree one hundred percent!
Greenify on Oreo is an appendage that is best left out in my opinion, since for most, Oreo itself manages the drain admirably. Though I have it installed, it is more by way of habit than necessity. I have experienced Oreo without Greenify and have no complaints.
Greenify is STILL works.
But its benefit on recent Android versions is not as prominent as on earlier versions.
Coz we already have Doze starting from Marshmallow.
It works for me. I have a samsung tab a 9.7 sm-t550 with an aicp 8.1 rom (lineageos based). Therefore it doesn't have the built-in samsung app device maintenance. I've also discovered a little trick to using greenify that I want to share. I use greenify with another app called shutapp. Shutapp is an app that helps you force stop apps running in the background. Except I don't do that. I use it solely for the purpose of having an accurate number of apps running in the background. Then I open the app to see which ones are running. Next I open greenify and hibernate them. I use this method, because I found that when you force stop the apps they will open back up again. Also, I use the widget from shutapp and not the floating bubble which requires extra permissions granted. The widget does the same thing without the extra permissions. This method I discovered has improved my ram and battery life drastically. I can tell because I use status bar mini pro to monitor my ram speed constantly. And finally I do have Xposed with the donation package of greenify, didn't want to leave that out. Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but wanted to be accurate. That's it, hope that works for somebody else, take care.
I hear that greenify isn't really needed on Oreo but how about the xposed version of greenify? That ads a couple of more features, does any of those change the verdict to "must have on Oreo" for greenify?

The verdict doesn't change. Use of Greenify on Oreo may become "must" only if you have a rogue app which can't be controlled otherwise. Even then, it might be better to seek alternative apps instead of trying to control it with Greenify.

Greenify works just fine on recent Android builds. It is a tool that can be very beneficial when properly used to produce a specific outcome. That said, it is rarely needed on Android 6+ as doze handles most of the heavy lifting. Enjoy using your device vs trying to fix problems you haven't identified.
Hi,
I recently installed Greenify on my Pocophone F1 /MIUI 10.3 on which I have already Tasker.
For Tasker, I have removed all battery restrictions so it is never optimized and it is fine. If I stop it manually, then for I don't know which reason accessibility and notification services get disabled so I have to enable them again.
The problem since I installed Greenify is that although Tasker is not part of the apps to hibernate, after some time when the screen is off, the same services get disabled on Tasker, exactly as if Tasker was forced to stop. So I am wondering why Greenify acts like this and how to prevent it? Isn't there any kind of whitelist?
I have not changed any default setting in Greenify.
Any idea what is happenning?
Thx.
