I've been using greenify for a long time.
i dont really know whether it is helping me save battery or causing me more trouble.
since opening a hibernated app has a tiny delay. not noticeable in most app, but very obvious for facebook.
opening a hibernated FB and you have to wait it load from scratch and stuck at the splash screen for 1-2 seconds.

below is battery info of 2 days. both approximate in standby for 7 hours. in the same spot on my table connected to the same wifi.

First one, with greenify.
almost all user apps&games and many unused system apps were greenify. only messaging apps like viber whatsapp hangouts, and google search were left untouched.


second one, with greenify uninstalled.
i left google+, chrome, and FB running in the background (open the app and press home button)
wakelock duration is almost twice compared with with greenify, FB being the biggest culprit


but strangely...the battery drain is the same, both left with 97%. , both case also lose 3% over a period of 7 hours.
greenify doesn't do much to help save battery.
and in the case of FB, it causes unnecessary delay for app opening.

do you still think it's worth using greenify?

As usual, first world problem discussing how much battery can be saved or how much lag can minimise despite millions of children still suffering from hunger.

well this IS a forum section about android. what else are we suppose to discuss?

i think there is a section called real world issue, head over there if this place doesn't interest you.

im still using it.

not bcoz of the battery, but i need it to disable push notification on certain apps coz its annoying.

if its improving my battery life, its a plus

User problem

using it, loving it, save battery. no complain

It saves battery like a bawss

u can disable push notification from settings... with kitkat ROM

not sure why u need it....

tried greenify before, didn't perform to expectation, uninstall liao.

I am using greenify pro recently on my LG G Pro2, mediapad x1 n ex oppo Find7
Excellent battery savings. With phone on standby battery drain say over even 7 hours hardly exceed 2%
Before using greenify pro a drop of 5-7% is common

but for my case, got or no greenify also same only.
u try disable your greenify for one day. freeze it with titanium backup and see la.
maybe same results also.

IF you have WeChat installed, Greenify is a must.

i dont use wechat, but if you greenify wechat, it will still get message?

getting lots of comments that say greenify help save battery.
but truth is, i let it overnight in standby with the most prominent wakelock culprits in the background, i get the same battery life. though the wakelock is higher without greenify, battery drain is identical.

wonder anyone actually do comparison with and without greenify.

No need. I had done extensive testing before with n without using Greenify pro.

I dont know about you. Ive been using Greenify for almost a year and a half. My enthusiasm in android convince me that Greenify increased my battery life. Why? Because it prevents all wakelocks that ive added to Hibernation Mode. I already tried many times after flashing new rom ,without installing Greenify and i compare them with Greenify install and Hibernation mode active, result is obvious to me that Greenify does help.

You saying your phone got delay when open up Facebook, but you hibernate facebook right? Dont want delay just dont hibernate it, just a couple of seconds does not interfere much in your life.

If you feel unhappy about Greenify, you are welcome to make a complaint in XDA greenify thread.

No need. I had done extensive testing before with n without using Greenify pro.

Nope, unless you're on Greenify Pro. I'm a person who check my phone on regular intervals, since I have so many phones to deal with. Plus I rarely use WeChat, only use it to contact those that are from China.

Let me ask you, would you rather have battery consuming and long duration wakelocks? Or many but short and low battery consumption wakelocks?

i am using greenify pro, boost mode and xposed and everything.

i also want to believe greenify helps. but truth is there is no difference.
view picture in first post. same battery drain. 3% in 7 hours.

i'll do more test next week.

im using it n no problem at all

its does save my battery

from 10pm till 7 am hibernate all apps

only 1% used up

i used to believe greenify helps. i even bought full version to support.
but after i realize same battery drain only, i feel like i wasted my money only.

FB is the app that has the highest wake trigger. 100+ times, it's like >10 times every hour. lol...

btw i also got post in xda. but there like ghost town.
