I'm on a nexus 5 running stock 5.1.1 with xposed and Greenify ver 3.4.3. I keep reading references to "Doze on the Go" but cannot find it in the settings.
Where and how do I set "Doze on the Go" and do I need it on Android 5.1.1?
Thank you.
Doze is a future of Android 6 and later

Thank you. That explains it.
Is doze better than Greenify's hibernation in LP?

They perform roughly the same thing with nuances too detailed to document here. By default Doze is more comprehensive encompassing most apps and services, even if benign. Greenify's actions are more targeted as you decide what gets hibernated. Both work well when properly configured. Greenify can also complement doze on Android 6+; generally they do not conflict.

Hi,
I noticed since 2-3 weeks that the Amzon apps were not working.
1st it happens with Amazon Music and later alos with the Amazon Shopping app.
I realized that I was greenifying Amazon Kindle and after degreenifying it, the other apps were working again.
This behaviour came with one of the last Greenify updates during the last 2-3 weeks because I was greenifiying Amazon Kindle much longer ago.
Is there a setting which I could test to be able to greenify again the Amazon apps?
I do not need that those Amazon apps are working all the time backstage.
My device is a Note 4 with Kitkat.
Best regards,

Disable 'Deep Hibernation' and see whether it helps.

Many thanks for your help!
This was helping!
So the next feature for Greenify would be to have "Deep Hibernation" with exceptions...
Another feature for Greenfiy could be a "libary" feature to add notes of know side effects to apps to make users aware of potential issues.

Given the vast number of phone models, different OS and apps, and set up differences, it is not possible for the Dev to document the ill effects of various settings of Greenify.
Only the users can document their experiences so that others can learn and avoid the pitfalls. That is what all of us including you are doing.
You are right, for the Dev alone it would be a nightmare!
Such a library function is probably a independent project for its own because of its complexity (I was just thinking a little bit about it) and because other apps could also benefit from it. It is more like a database application and to be honest quite boring for a single person or group to take care of.
Something like a Wikipedia for side effects of app settings that the crowd user group could maintain and with a documented interface that a app could query.
Ok - sorry for being off topic
Thanks again for your help!
Your hint solved my problem!

I've found that deep hibernation turns off certain receivers that apparently Amazon apps use all together. Mostly syncing and ID related receivers. For some reason opening the app does not allow the receivers to become enabled again. I also found that once deeply hibernated, some of those receivers can't even be enabled by other apps with this function. I think this is a bug that can be remedied, but I could be wrong. If those receivers being disabled permanently is the only thing that will allow deep hibernation to work then I guess this is the case.

I have wake-up tracking enabled on rooted Galaxy S5 6.0.1, Greenify v3.9.5. With Greenify open, if I long-press on an app awaiting hibernation that wakes up frequently, then press the menu dots I get a "Check convention fulfillment" option. Greenify then shows a transient pop-up message "Not targeting API 24+". However I do not know, and cannot find an answer on Greenify support or anywhere else, as to what this means. Does it mean that the Greenify hibernation mechanism is only targeting API 24+ for these hard-to-keep-hibernated apps or that the apps themselves target API 24+ and are therefor hard for Greenify to work with? Marshmallow 6.0.1 is API 23. Does this mean that I need to install an older version of Greenify in order to target my API 23 system, or do I need to find older versions of the hard-to-keep-hibernated system apps such as Google App, Gallery, ShootingModeProvider, etc. Camera is a special nightmare to keep hibernated. It appears that Google wants to keep the Camera on at all times.
Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

Best guidance is to stop trying to hibernate everything vs concentrating on the small subset of app/services that disrupt sleep/doze or otherwise exhibit 'bad behaviors. Blanket hibernation is a fools errand that offers no benefits and will likely increase power draw and side effects. Responding to your core question is much easier when there is an actual problem to solve.

Thank you for your opinion regarding the relative number of apps to hibernate, Davey, and for pointing out that, technically speaking, I posed the wrong question. I will certainly consider your opinion.
As to my question, let me try this again... Can anyone who understands the "Wake-up Tracking" functionality in Greenify please provide a technical explanation of the output of "Wake-up Tracking" or point me to Greenify documentation with such explanation?
Many thanks!

Update your app portfolio...including Greenify itself.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this thread but I can't see any feature request thread anywhere.
So as the title says, I would like to request a feature that is similiar to Smart Hibernation, except that it will avoid Dozing the phone if it detects any notification of application(s) added to its list.
Of course there should be an extra menu to add Smart Doze list. This way I don't have to disable Aggressive Doze everytime I cast something. I keep losing connection with Aggresive Doze on when I cast Youtube / other apps to Chromecast. Only disabling Aggressive Doze fixes it. (Yes I did put Youtube on doze white list)
Probably Smart Doze is not the right name but you get the point I'm using android 6.0.1 Galaxy Note 4
Thanks in advance!
Off topic : I think should we have a feature request thread? That way oasisfeng can read all the feature requests in one thread

Assuming that I've correctly understood your addressed requirement, and my assumption might be wrong that would void everything coming behind, the requested feature/function is already available as one of the Xposed-based features; and actually working perfectly.
I'm well aware that not everybody wants to use Xposed for some reasons beyond the scope of the Greenify forum but I think it's simply that way that you can't get lots of functionalities if you're unrooted, you receive more power if rooted, but for some functionalities you ultimately require the Xposed framework.

I guess you misunderstood? Let me rephrase my experience in points.
- My chromecast keeps disconnecting from my phone if I cast Youtube / other apps after a few minutes when screen is off
- Already put all casting apps to doze whitelist
- Can be fixed by setting Aggresive Doze off but I want to keep it on

Aggressive doze generally does not yield significant power savings relative to standard doze. Switch it off and profit.

I apologise; it's correct I clearly misunderstood. Lacking own experiences with chromecast or other casting apps and the apps not being part of my portfolio, I'm unable to test myself. Just imagine its utilisation, I currently don't understand why to greenify chromecast and the others at all. At least I didn't do that with applications I want them to run even if the screen is off like OsmAnd+, my mapping and navigation app for hiking and biking,and 15 (just counted them) others for various reasons. On average, I get a battery drainage of 0.5 - 0.7%/h, which is absolutely satisfying to me under special consideration that my devices is running and doing its job as advertised and required by me under all conditions. I never tried but personally doubt that I'd gain a lower drainage if I greenify the aformentioned applications.

On android 7.0+ maybe but on 6.0 Aggresive doze really helps a lot.

Nope, I don't greenify those apps either, I only greenify stubborn apps I got in my phone there are a few but I need them.

Doze on the go (Xposed section) is the setting you want on Android 6 which is the default on Android 7.x and above. If Aggressive Doze is helping "a lot" then something else is happening under the covers. Whether it is worth pursuing is up to you.

Smart doze isn't needed IMO; you have a specialized situation on an EOL Android base. Would rather see the developer focus on other progressive functionality.
Greenify isn't a 'doze tweaker' - nor should it become one. Plenty of other largely ineffective apps/modules/tools apps in that crowded space.
I'll step out of the ring now and allow your request to progress on its own merits.
I want to automate some hibernation with tasker.
But it does not add just this task to my tasks. All other greenify tasks are working.

I'd really appreciate if pictures (files) are made available at locations that doesn't require to log-in with Google. Personally, I'm not willing at all to share anything with Google i.e. currently unable to proceed in regard to your request.
There are quite a few privacy friendly alternatives available in the web; just two as an example: https://framapic.org/ or https://filebin.net/.

FWIW - You may want to consider Xposed Edge if you like grain control. I have found the Greenify/Tasker interface to be wanting at times.
This is how i combined Greenify in Shallow hibernation mode and Tasker https://imgur.com/a/ZL90uCH
As question states kindly reply with list of system apps and services which can be controlled/disabled with Greenify.
Additional request to share your greenify settings what kind of hibernation settings you are using.
This helps every other user before making a new question.
How you are using greenify, like your configuration with magisk / xposed etc. Or combination of different modules.
I will reply mine from PC.
Reserved. Feels great for my first post this way.
Lol
Let's help each other
Here is my entire list I hope users find it useful..
I am using (Island) alongwith greenify now.. Works flawless and from same developer.

Here is my list for Redmi Note 4 (mido).
My magisk modules and cts profile.
If greenify / xposed is dead.
I am confused in tech world.
Still do needful as per I can.
