Battery Optimization Problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, my phone doesn't show any apps in the battery optimization besides Google Play services and Download Manager.
There should be an option for showing all apps or optimized apps as I have seen in all other phones, but there isn't in mine.
I really need to turn off battery optimization for certain apps like Messenger, Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram otherwise the notification issue in my phone will never be solved. It never shows notification of these apps unless I open them.
Please guys help me. Is there a way to programmatically disable battery optimization for these apps?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

[Q] Any recommended startup apps?

I have noticed that there are numerous services that would start up by themselves such as alarm, timer, email, messaging, my uploads, timescape etc, I would also like to disable off these default services since I'm using handcent sms and k9 for sms and email services and adw launcher.
Is anyone using any free app (that doesnt require root) similar to startup auditor to disable services from automatically starting up? I used the free version which only allows 5 services to be disabled.
Also what are the other services/apps that I can disable safely since I see other services like com.sonyericsson.xxxxx, or android.process.xxxx? Also what does "My Uploads" do exactly?
I personally use Autorun killer, but it doesn't list anything like com.sonyericsson.xxxx, only normal apk names.. You may have to fork out for the paid version of startup auditor!
Or I imagine that some of the custom ROM's out there would have modified autostart lists?
I have yet to root my x10 mini pro, so I'm unable to use AutoKiller, unfortunately. Its really annoying to have all these services started up.
So far, Startup Auditor doesnt seem all that effective. I have disable some of the apps but still they do occassionally show up in the Task Manager. Sigh.

[Q] Managing notifications on multiple Android devices

Hi I've been searching for this for a while now but no luck...
So I have two Android phones, let's say one S2 and one S3, and both have the same Google account, same Facebook account, Instagram, etc, but each has a Sim from a different provider. So sometimes I want to have both with me, sometimes I want to have only the S2 and others only the S3.
The problem is that when I'm at home or have both with me I really don't need both to start going off about the same email or Facebook update, and disabling notifications for some of those apps in only one phone has to be done under Applications in Settings because they Sync notifications settings across the account (Facebook does this), anyways using this approach would be very time consuming every time you would want to switch the phone that gets notifications. Now Cyanogen is known to have the profiles menu that can group apps and I believe turn off notifications for groups of apps with one touch. But I'm running stock on both..
I wanted to know if there is an App out there that can do something like this, group apps and disable notifications for that group with one touch. It would be even better if let's say you were actually using one of the phones and it would automatically know this disable notifications on the other or even geofence your home so that you can set what phone or device actually goes off when you are at home.

[Q] Is there any way to reset changes in System Tuner? Location messed up.

So I followed a guide to disable services/events, location in Google Play Services and Google Services Framework for the purpose pf improving battery life. However, it disabled my check in ability to Swarm, foursquare, and Facebook, but I can navigate in GMaps. Is there any way tp fix this?
Thanks!

Battery Issue with Wake Locks - Help

Ok so having a small issue. I know it didn't happen on the first few days of the phone but got BetterBatteryStats to help solve the issue. Just 4 items causing the issue.
Google Play Services
Google Music
Google Quick Search
Google Gmail
Any help is appreciated.
Well after a bit of digging, think its related to the SMS functions that is tied to Google Search application. I disabled the SMS functions for the google applications, hopefully that solves the issue. Hopefully that fixes the issue since I like using the application for new stories / quick updates from items it pulls from e-mail account and such. But if worst comes to worst I'll get rid of it and find something else.
And successful run last night only using 0.5%per hour. Way better than yesterday. So disabling SMS permissions for Google (search) and Playstore did the trick. Play Store Services you got to keep activated.

WhatsApp and Google Maps always running in the background

The problem is whenever I close them I can see their processes running in the background (checking with htop). I can kill them manually but I would have to do that every single time. So what I'm asking is if there are any way to restrict an application from running in the background on Android Pie. I have tried BackgroundRestrictor, Battery optimization > Optimizing battery usage, Background restriction > Restricted.
I still haven't figured out any solutions to this and found out that Discord is also doing the same...
Apparently Servicely can stop services so I stopped the WhatsApp and Google Maps services running in the background. Problem solved.
