HOW TO REMOVE GREENIFY PLUS
Lithium batteries would prefer to stay topped off for longevity.Ĭurrent technology gives something like 1,000 recharges plus or minus a few hundred charges depending on how deeply they get discharged.ĭoing it my way, I get years per battery.

Sometimes, it gets down to 12-15 percent.

I don't let the battery go much below 40% unless I am away from the house or other charging source. My S5 gets more normal use and I will get from 1 to 3 days per charge. My wife's S5 is only used as a telephone and can go 14 days between charges. what more can I ask for? I don't need instant updates thru the night. All of my apps continue to run, and within 5 or 6 seconds, TheWeatherChannel brings me up to date, my email syncs and is loaded with 10 seconds. If the radios are OFF, no app can connect to a server period. I use MacroDroid to turn OFF both DATA and WiFi radios when the screen is locked. I do not use Greenify or any other similar app. I take a different road to preserving battery power. Read the first 3 posts in their entirety, imo.
HOW TO REMOVE GREENIFY FULL
I would caution that it's easy to abuse and overuse and would advise that there's no substitute for reading what he said in full and use it as intended only. I don't classify Greenify as snake oil, although others may differ on that. The weird part is, if he has to, he removes the app from cache and so start-up is impacted, they don't come back as quickly as when Greenify is absent.įor rooted users only - fight fire with fire - constrain the behavior of bad apps.įighting fire with water if rooted - find bad apps with Wakelock Detector, reconfigure to behave or uninstall, seek alternative. Many have reported excellent results with it, some have complained that it hasn't worked out. Especially ones with evil overlords at the corporate level. It's an interesting approach - it'll be nice if he succeeds but I doubt that bad devs will respond. And it ought not do anything with the screen on. Some will still wake up but not be allowed to maintain keeping your phone awake with the screen off. So, where I advise just avoiding bad apps, he advises that if you can't, let Greenify in to deal with them. His end goal is to get user feedback on what apps need and best respond to Greenify in the hopes that their devs will see their stuff on the list, feel bad about it, and fix their apps to straighten up and fly right. Facebook is the first one mentioned (and I agree, what a catastrophe).Ĥ. The end result is apps that misbehave and suck your battery because they stay awake. He tried teaching many until he was blue in the face that they were doing it wrong.ģ. A lot of devs don't understand what they're doing and bloat their apps with unnecessary permissions, features and responses to system control events.Ģ. Let's go right to the horse's mouth - the dev - and see what he said (and I'm going to liberally paraphrase):ġ.
