You don't need to use greenify if you are on MIUI.
So let's get started.
Almost every XDA members are so advanced and most pf them uses greenify to save battery and increase performance of their device. As we know greenify freezes the apps to stop running background.
But if you are on MIUI you don't need to use greenify if you want. MIUI has the feature to freeze apps and do the same thing as greenify.
Here's how:
★ Go to settings
★ Navigate to Battery and Performance
★ Select Manage apps battery app usage.
★ Now you'd find OFF and ON to options on power saving mode.
★ Now tap 'ON' 5 times rapidly and you'd find another option named 'Ultimate'. It actually freezes apps from running background soon after the screen goes off.
★ Select Ultimate and enjoy.
[ If you want an app with no restrictions then you can select the app from Chose app option. For example, I set Google apps and Messenger apps to no restrictions as I need Google Assistant and Messenger all the time running. ]
Thank You.
If it helps you please don't forget to give a thumps up.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. What about SoT on Miui with this new features ? I leave it because of SoT is really bad with NougaT...
Interesting. I wonder why that feature was hidden so far

When I was on Global Stable 8.1 I used to get 7 hours of SoT.
Now with 7.4.6 Beta ROM I'm getting around 6-6.5 hours of SoT.
I'm on MIUI only for it's Camera.
Camera on LOS/AOSP isn't good enough. Again there's no manual shutter option.

It's hidden cuz it's for advanced users. Most of the user don't even know what is hibernating an app. So they don't care. Again it'd decrease multitasking performance. So the authority kept it hidden.
If anyone wants it, they can enable it.
Just like developer option.

Yes I can say I'm lucky. Cuz average users get around 4 to 6 hours SoT depending on usage.
But lucky my battery backup is well enough.
My main task is to surf the web and social media.

Hello. Do you have other modifications or apps installed? Since using my Mi5, I was not able to reach even 5 hrs SOT. Im on 7.3.16 eu rom currently.

See my two Screen Shots.
Actually I don't use any other tweaks to save battery. What I have done is, I set my recent button long press option to ' Force Close current app'
So when I'm leaving an app, I just FC it pressing recent button instead of exiting the app by default. So the app can't run background and the result is amazing for me.
Besides I've found my battery is much more healthy than other users. Maybe I'm lucky. I purchased my friend a Mi5 also ( 32 GB). He also get around 6 hrs+ SoT.
I didn't even try to use any tweaks to save battery. As I close app manually, I don't even use ultimate mode for battery saving.
And I'm using Xiaomi.eu as I said before. ( Almost all the ROM give me same SoT.)

If you wanna extend the battery life you should uninstall all apps that can possibly keep the phone awake. more apps needing CPU = less battery life.
also lower the display lighting if you have high battery use of it.

Yes, it's normal
Turning down the brightness will of course help.
Normal seem to be about 12-40 hours. Some apps are badly behaved, others just take a lot of power. It seems there might be a few OS bugs which come and go depending on exactly how you use the phone - some ROMS/kernels seem to help but it is difficult to be specific. Check the BetterBatteryStats thread for some ideas on debugging.
18 hours is decent, it all depends on how you use the phone.
If for 10 hours your phone's screen was on, then ofc this is amazing.

What is your brightness setting? When you are in the battery usage page, click on Display and tell us how many hours the display was on.
You should also check if your phone is on standby mode properly. When you press the awake button and the phone awoken instantly, then you need to restart the phone until it doesn't (e.g. 1-2 second delay is good). I had this problem before and it ate my battery like crazy.
Sleepy cat: my brightness setting is auto & already running for 1hr 38m...since i charge..last night..and the display percentage is 55%...how to reduce it??..

How to reduce battery use by display: Dont use it.

Use auto brightness, use running services to close what programs/services you don't need(for example I always close skype, yahoo messager, update software, out of milk etc...depends on what you have installed on it and what you don't need ) use static wallpaper and most important charge your phone OFF.

Screen brightness is going to be your number one killer. Also, if you're using WiFi/3G/4G all day long that will kill your battery too. Finally, if you're playing games that use a bunch of graphics that utilize your phone's hardware (openGL, unreal engine, etc.) it will drain your battery pretty fast.
I have seen an article somewhere saying that live wallpapers don't actually consume as much battery as people make them out to be, and i found this to be true, i got 5 days out of my Optimus 2X (no sim card inside) and it had a live wallpaper, what consumes the most battery is the screen itself (reduce brightness to get better battery life while using the phone) and data on 3G (i always turn off data when i don't use it) and i normaly get 2 days out of my Optimus 2X (1 day of heavy usage).
Thank you for the info whoever provided here.

Try or start with this app above and hunt for apps that syncing/updating in the background and basically you need to make a dumb phone out of your smartphone. Disable all autosyncs/notifications in the setting and apps like Facebook disable notifications. Open up Google play>settings and uncheck all default checked settings. Disable gmail/email notifications. Disable auto backup/restore. Disable all location services/vibrations/sounds when typing/wifi or GPS or BT when not in use. Disable data or stick with 2g in standby mode. Find a custom ROM that usually will be much better with battery management.
That's in a nutshell of how I can basically keep my phone draining 1% per hour on standby mode.

I highly recommend GO Power Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.gowidget.gopowermaster
It lets you customize power profiles and set "sleep" cycles so that it uses minimal power when you're not using it anyway (I set mine to just be phone/text from 11pm until 7am).
It also has a "smart kill" button on the widget (which you don't have to use) that will prolong battery life by killing apps that are doing nothing. I know there's a lot of argument about app/task killers out there, but it's always worked well for me.
Adjust screen brightness to 0 (dim)
use dark wallpaper
disable gps, bluetooth , wifi when not in use and also air plane mode during night time
and also clear running apps with task manager:good:
Also you could try GSam Battery Monitor Pro, it will show you which process are using %'s of power
Try this one

Juice Defender functions only if you have you phone a lot of time inactive . . . It functions turning of your conections in inactivity period and olnly turns it on in few intervals depending of your profile . . . It's very good, but if you want your cell phone conected every time . . . this is not a solution . . .

You are using stock firmware or custom?
As a newbie to the Huawei world (Came from a Oneplus One), one of the main things that attracted me to the Mate 10 Pro was the large battery, as I was struggling to get 3 hours SOT even with custom ROMS.
I'm now easily getting 6-7 hours SOT so quite happy with that, but it seems that EMUI is particularly aggressive at battery optimisation. Apps were being closed in the background even with minimal load on the phone and even once I've delved through the battery optimisation settings to turn off certain apps, I find I sometimes miss notifications until I open the app.
Given that the Mate 10 Pro has 4000mAh to play with, it seems bizarre that they are so aggressive with the battery - is there a specific reason for this? Is EMUI particularly bad at battery drain so they have to make up for it by putting in a large battery AND managing it so carefully, or is it because the Kirin processors are not as good at battery use as the Snapdragons?
I actually like some of the EMUI features, but I wish there was a big button that turned down their aggressive management. Has anyone who switched to a treble ROM got battery stats to compare and see if it's worth the switch?
Under settings/battery/starting apps or so (don't know how it is in English, because my system is in German)
Disable optimization on every all which doesn't need that. It will help and it even got be better battery life ?

Yes, because if it is enabled for apps which you use a lot, they will always reload and be removed from RAM. But disabling those options will prevent that. The Google side battery optimization is only needed for apps, which should be constantly running in background. I keep that also disabled for apps like what's app and music streaming apps and other

Yes, I've done that - but even so I find some apps don't notify or have to have their services re-enabled every so often, and I've seen others with the same problem so I don't think it's my particular phone but a general problem with EMUI (or Kirin processors)

I presume that your question refers to the following path: settings>apps & notifications >apps>settings>special access>ignore battery optimization. As opposed to the path settings>Battery>launch.
I would not do that, because if you allow all apps to ignore battery optimization, all your apps will potentially drain the battery. You should only allow apps which you do not want the Emui power manager Perfgenius to terminate from running in the background, to ignore battery optimization. Effectively apps that you would like to keep on running in the background, such as messenger apps etc.

Not even then. I'm on a P30 Pro, and it does that to apps that I have set to run in the background (special access and that other place), and that are MEANT to run in the background.
This is not just annoying. This is a deal breaker. It'd go so far to call the phone defective due to the insane aggressiveness of the battery optimization. Fine if some people like that, but give others the option of setting it to a sane setting without having to run in circles and find hidden options (that I can't find).
I have the exynos unlocked s9 Plus model. I never experienced horrible battery life (my usual SOT was about 4+ hours) but I could never get the fantastic SOT of the snapdragon models. Best SOT I had seen was around 6 hours after applying dark themes, etc.
I tried a little thing two days ago, and at least for me, it seems to work.
I let the battery drain down to 1% or 2%. I shut down the phone, and rebooted to recovery mode (holding power, bixby and up buttons), and I deleted the cache partition. After deleting the partition and selecting reboot, I immediately plugged the phone on the charger (fast charge was selected).
I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
Connected to 2,4GHZ wifi (not 5ghz).
The above are the main changes I have set to save battery. (I had these settings also before I did the above trick).
All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

Go to battery usage, open green android system icon and uncheck "allow background activity" switch

Thats right, but keep in mind that this setting will be reverted to enabled on each reboot of the phone.

Do you how disabling Android system background activity will affect the phone? Does it delay notifications or anything?

I have the exynos unlocked s9 Plus model. I never experienced horrible battery life (my usual SOT was about 4+ hours) but I could never get the fantastic SOT of the snapdragon models. Best SOT I had seen was around 6 hours after applying dark themes, etc.
I tried a little thing two days ago, and at least for me, it seems to work.
I let the battery drain down to 1% or 2%. I shut down the phone, and rebooted to recovery mode (holding power, bixby and up buttons), and I deleted the cache partition. After deleting the partition and selecting reboot, I immediately plugged the phone on the charger (fast charge was selected).
I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).

With the latest update (BRE), there's no need to disable Android System background activity, because is not draining battery anymore.
I did many tests every update, and only BRE fixed the drain from it. Still, it seems that disabling the option is working for some people, is about trying.

Yeah i can confirm that, with the latest BRE update it doesnt matter if you turn background usage for android system on or off.
great
cool sharing
Where to find Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
I've got developer options on but i cannot find this setting, does it have another name?

It says something like "Keep network data on even if wifi is on" but you should disable that option.
Oh, that one , it's already turned off for a long time, battery life still sucks
How can you guys live without 5G WiFi?
I did a reset of the phone and installed without restoring a backup of apps.
At least standby time increased drastically.
I still must check the SOT, see if that one increase too
Cool! I'll give it a shot!
Does running on 2.4Ghz really improve the battery life?

Hey, (Γεια σου μεγαλε!)
Ι also have a s9+ unlocked.
I'm on the november security patch and battery life is pretty mediocre.
I get high standby battery drain, probably form android system.
I have never achieved sot of more than 5 hours and 10 minutes maybe!
Can you share your experience with this update?
Have you tried this trick on the latest security patch?
I got my Poco last week with bootloader open and right away started with custom roms. I first put Pixel Experience (like i had on my RN5pro and it was great) but i find it doesn't run as well on poco.
Then i went to Nitrogen and now im on LOS16 for the past couple days getting aroun 8-9hrs SOT.
My question is was i too quick to change to custom? anything im missing from MIUI? I stayed with MIUI on RN5 for a while but got pissed because all notifications were late(if the every came at all), i used Sakis debloat tool so dint have bloatware but still felt spied on.
Anyway should i flash MIUI? Goals are long SOT, moderate gaming (hour pubg every now n then). Change my mind.
I'm actually happy with MIUI10, kept the bloat apps too, but it's obviously up to your preferences.
RAM and security management is quite aggressive.
My only real problem is notifications being really badly presented. Though I've just received my Mi Band which shows notifications and is really useful.
No harm in trying it.

you will miss faceunlock via ir camera - afaik only miui (+ miui mods like miui eu / globe ) offer support for it since its a custom manufacture introduced feature and afaik not open source.
iam currently on miui eu (honestly the only mod i tryed) + first android but i don´t really see ads or anything else thats bugs me.

Can you describe the notifications? i remember my RN5 with miui 10 even I wouldnt always get on lockscreen notifications and then if i open the phone the notifications disappear (i did everything, enable auto start, background, lock screen, everything). I would even test it with my gfs phone and it would take like 5-10 mins to get a fb notification or something. Whatsapp always worked though. I mean if theres no notifications whats the point.

I haven't actually missed many notifications at all. If you bring down the notification bar they can be viewed. One app where notifications have never worked (even when removing all restrictions) is my home security system but that's an issue with the way the app handles notifications, it does work flawlessly on my Samsung devices though so definitely an issue with MIUI.
My other issue with MIUI is that it doesn't always display the icons in the upper left of the notification bar and only shows them for a few seconds. I believe they are working on this for a future update.
Not everything shows on the lock screen unless you enable it in the settings under "other permissions". That is actually a feature I like since I've only enabled lock screen notifications with specific apps. You may need to enable the permissions or disable the restrictions with certain apps.

Here's my perspective on MIUI 10...It is buggy!!! Below 3 issues are showstoppers for me:
1. Inconsistent notifications in lock screen.
2. DND doesn't work, infact i have no idea what implementation they have for it. I could only distinguish between loud and silent.
3. App permissions keeps resetting - I will have to re-enable permissions from time to time to use them.
After 6 months of MIUI bull**** for the first time in 4 years I am going to flash a custom ROM. Better stick to custom ROM, stock sucks although its aesthetically beautiful.
I'm fine with MIUI eu beta with custom kernel. I need system audio recording because I play and record games and split screen is better than aosp. Notification is fine for me I just disable MIUI battery savings per app that important. There is no best or worst it all depends on how you use your phone.
The best u will get between performance and bettery life its on miui rom i am on 9.1.7 i got 10+ of sot and if u like aosp the best is crdroid rom will give great battery lifr also but less performance in gaming side. In my off i use my phone all day keeping youtube playlist always on and alot of browsing and playing brawl stars on the end of the day i highly recommend u to give miui a try
For all of you having problems with notifications.. I guess I found a solution. At least, it works for me.
I always complained like you. Either late notifications or no notifications at all.
All that stuff is because of the aggressive standard-settings in the battery saving settings.
You go to settings -> battery -> choose apps -> select your app, you want to get notifications -> select no restrictions.
Ofcourse, you have to set autostart for those apps and setup the notifications importance to high/urgent.
You get the same battery life i guess, so feel free to do that stuff in the battery settings.
Hit thanks if it worked for you.
Some good point here! What about the Xiaomi. Eu rom ? How dire it compare to stock performance wise?

I own a RN5 too (Xiaomi.eu ROM) and I did that and I started getting all the notifications.
eBay notifications (for example) came literally never.
After the stuff I meantioned above, everything started to work as it should.
My Pocophone arrived 1 hour ago and I'm setting it up right now and will to the same and report.
But since its MIUI 10 too (although Pie), it should work!

Will do!
I am fine with Miui 10 global beta with Franco kernel and other root stuff. My Pocophone is a work phone and I don't trust the custom ROMs yet.
I also don't debloat, otherwise it's no longer a MIUI , but I freeze user or system apps I don't use. And the suggestion by another about using Battery saving section (and autostart) to manage Doze should help in not missing notifications. I never miss notifications, but I don't use social apps, only normal calls, sms, GBWhatsApp.
MIUI is a personal taste. I've tried other ROMs on my other phones, they all are similar. Most of their features I can have using apps, and even better, while staying with MIUI global beta, which is updated constantly compared to stable.
I disable Miui optimization in developer options though, a habit of mine since the early days of MIUI
I also like EMUI by Huawei. It is so similar to MIUI on my Huawei
P.S. I don't enable notifications on lock screen, I don't want to answer some immediately. I have configured contacts that I must answer quickly to have their own notification sound.
