Hi folks... Getting frustrated with aggressive power management- or just bugs.
For example GMail app is set to Ignore Power Optmisation but after every restart I get the prompt about allowing it to run in the background. Every time I tap Allow but it comes again on next restart. (screenshot attached).
Some apps will be closed regardless of "Ignore Power Optimisation" being selected - and even if I change the battery management for that specific app to Manual.
Is there anything we can do to completely disable power optimisation?

Are you on the Chinese branding of the device? I think switching to a global branding would support gmail better.

No, it's not a Chinese-branded version. It's English (AU/NZ).

Only oled screen Mate 10 pro has that.
However you can get dark themes from this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/themes/emui-themes-factory-app-3rd-party-t3701981
You have this issue with other apps too? Do you still get the notifications?

You need to lock the app from the recent task screen. So that it wont be closed.
Also you need to manage the launch of the app "manually", but i think you did that already

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the screen turning on when receiving an SMS? I would really like to disable this if at all possible.
not sure if it's what you're looking for but if you install sms popup (which is a fantastically simple app) it's one of the many options that you can configure ...
hope this helps ...
This didn't prevent the screen from turning on. The basic SMS app seems to still turn it on.

the way this normally works, is you install handcent which does have this option. then you go in and disable to stock messaging app completely, so that only handcent or your replacement choice controls text behavior.

What you'll notice is that even if you disable the notifications on a the standard messaging app, the app still runs in the background as it's also handling all the incoming DB writes from what I can tell. Samsung re-wrote the messaging app which always runs (and can't be removed) and in this app is the control to turn the screen on. That's why I can't figure out how to disable it without breaking SMS functionality altogether.

Recently, I'm unable to auto-hibernate Facebook app. But if I manually long-press the Facebook row and then tap the Z button, the Facebook app can be hibernated. Anyone knows if it's Facebook problem or Greenify issue?

It is neither. Rather it is by design. Any app busy in the background (not merely running), will show up as "working". After it completes its work, the status will change to 'will be hibernated after screen off'. It will then be automatically hibernated once the screen is off.
This is to allow apps to complete their work before being hibernated.
If you don't want Facebook to even work, highlight it and then tap the three dot menu at the top and choose 'ignore the app's state'.

I am on the same version. So it seems to have an issue with your setup.
After ignoring an app's state, when you highlight it again, you will get an option for reconsidering its state as in the screen shot below.
I have no idea why it is not showing up for you.

I had already suggested that and he had clarified that he doesn't get that option.
@itandy
Try what Black_Focus_X said earlier. When Facebook shows up as 'working', highlight it and then tap the 'zzz' at the bottom. You should get a pop-up window telling you that it is unsafe to hibernate an app in such conditions and also giving the option to ignore its state. Tick the option box, then OK.

I'm having the same issue as the OP, despite ignoring the app's state in greenify and deactivating it from developer options -> inactive apps, Facebook still shows up in running services.

I've now installed what I think is 2.8 beta 3 bit still can't get this to apppear, perhaps because I can't get Facebook to appear in the working state. It does however keep getting started by other apps. I shouldn't have to stop the services manually in developer settings. So how is this accomplished? The whole reason I have Greenify is to stop Facebook and other data stealing from running rampant when I'm not using them.

When it's awoken by another app, it will say "woken by ....." underneath the app name. If you tap on facebook in greenify main screen, then tap the scissors icon in top right of the page, a pop-up will explain then allow you to cut off the wake-up path. Play around with it and you'll find that cutting some wake-up paths is good and cutting others will stop notifications.
I currently have these paths cut-off for facebook:
...notify.MessengerForegroundProvider
...provider.PlatformProviderBase
What wake-up paths have other people cut?

Try the Auto Notifications app, from Playstore, it works.
You will need to go into settings / apps & notifications / apps / more - click the three dots at the bottom of the screen next to the settings badge and select System Apps
Scroll down to "Android System" and disable the desired notifications that Android System is placing onto the lock screen and or the status bar.
In my opinion this is one of the only things that has annoyed me about the Mate 10 this far.
Hope that helps.

But can i only block one notification?
since i got Android 9.0 i keep on getting a notification from phone manager security centre that 1 app has been using my microphone.
Google.
how do i stop only that one? Will this work for me?
Had this on my s10 and now it also works on the s20 https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/themes/tasker-to-switch-aod-t4055607 much better than these aod apps that work half the time.
do you know how to put in a timeout for say 10 mins?
So notification arrives, AoD on for 10 mins, then AoD off?
Sorry no idea, maybe try https://forum.xda-developers.com/u/tasker-tips-tricks on how to add a timer/delay before running a command.

Well I'm no tasker guru, and there may well be a more efficient way, but.......
1. You need to set up "notification detect" profiles for each notification you want to repeat, using Autonotifications. All they do is set 2 global variables to 1 when a detection has been made. One generic one that starts the repeats, and one for each app.
View attachment 4993295
View attachment 4993291
View attachment 4993297
2. Here is the main "repeat task" that makes it work. When the "repeat variable" is turned on it sends a "tasker notification" every minute.
View attachment 4993299
3. You need to add a "keyword" in each of the "tasker notifications" titles.
4. Then enable "edge lighting" for tasker and add keyword colours for each of the "tasker notifications"
View attachment 4993301
5. You need some way to turn them off. You can use a "widget task", "quick toggle task", or a "screen on task" to switch all your variables back to 0.
I hope that's clear?
