This thing is annoying as hell. Constantly it tells me apps are wasting power. I need background apps. Anyone know how to turn this off? Thanks in advance.

Just hit ignore for the apps you want.
I think you cannot disable the app, only add apps to exceptions.
I figured it out. Freeze "Phone Manager" app. You will need an app like "App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE" to do this. You will loose battery menu and power optimization menu. But it seems to work.
Idk if this is right.
Go to settings-advanced settings- battery manager- then touch on the gear icon on top right of the screen- untick or turn off the power intensive prompt.

Thank You for the tip. That might work for the notification. But I also wanted to prevent apps from being stopped while screen is off. I would still need to go into "Protected Apps" to protect every new app I install. Freezing "Phone Manager" takes care of both situations.

However once you sacrifice some time and set everything correctly you might get a better battery life

I don't know what you do with your phone but I don't have often warnings and I have quite a few apps running in the background.

With "Phone Manager" disabled, I can say that the battery life is tremendously better now! Have been off charger for 7 hours and battery is @ 79%. It would be much lower normally.

That varies a lot with usage.
Can you give more details about what you did on those 7h?

4G. No graphs available as phone manager is disabled.
You might not want to freeze Phone Manager. It does a lot of important things.

But advanced settings, battery as some report of software and hardware consumption.
If i understood what you meant you have to do two thing:
- in settings -> battery management, hit the gear in the upper right corner and then just untick the first option (power usage notification)
- if you want prevent the closure of heavy apps go in the protected apps menu (always in battery management) and tick the one you want to keep in memory.

I get warnings all the time with my device unfortunately, I'm talking 2/3 times a day for different apps.
I always ignore them, but it seems on my device at least, that as soon as I exit an app and it doesn't close, I get a notification.

I cannot find an indication of screen on time in either Usage or History under my power menu. Is it not there, or am I just blind? I've also checked the "Display & gestures" without luck.
Screen time has always been my major indication of battery life, so I'm having a hard time evaluating my new phone without it. Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Try a 3rd party app like GSAM Battery Monitor.
So it's really not there? I really thought I was just missing something. It's ridiculous that the information is not available through the stock rom.
Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the app, but it seems like there's got to be a way to get the stock system to show that info? Maybe there's a mod of the settings.db to enable it?
Anyone know?
Yeah, I have no idea why HTC would not include the "Screen" section for Battery Usage

Hell, I don't know why they didn't just use the real Android settings/power/etc screens, and just theme them with Sense.

Isn't it in settings under / power ? nevermind I see what your talking about.
Yeah that irritated the heck out of me too when I first noticed it. And since KitKat you can't use apps to monitor battery statistics without root and an Xposed module. Now I just betterbatterystats and EnableBatteryStatsPermission xposed module and I can see my screen on time, kernel wakelocks, and everything else. Works for me.
Hi,
Is it possible to turn of the built-in battery saver on Honor 8? You know the one that shows up in the notifications saying that a certain app is draining the battery. I want to use greenify only.
BTW my device is rooted.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have a GPS mock location app that keeps getting killed by doze and I want it to run until I stop it myself. I have excluded it from restrictions and battery optimization in settings but it keeps getting killed after a few minutes the screen goes off. I also have NapTime installed but I don’t know how to whitelist it there. If I can whitelist it there does anybody know how to?
Is Naptime causing it to be killed or that’s just oxygen OS ? In my nougat Samsung the app kept running until I stopped it myself.
Just remove them from being optimized.... Battery>battery optimization>then show all apps and tap on what you don't want killed and tap do not optimized

Since I got this phone ifttt and Tasker do not run any of my tasks... Anything I should check?
I'm not having any issue with Tasker. Things to check that comes to mind:
Ensure the app has root access
Disable/enable Tasker from the three dot menu
Check if it has special permissions in «Apps & notifications > Special app access»
Disable battery optimization

I tried all that. Tasker will only work if I got into the app first so seems something is killing it or not allowing it to run in the background.
Tasker works fine for me as well. Maybe it's optimised under battery settings?

Yes you just need to go into battery optimization, find the app, tap it and choose "don't optimize"
Hi I know that the question is a little stupid .. But please tell me how to remove the remaining battery life in the control center?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I think you want to remove the battery icon from the status bar? There's an app on the Play Store called SystemUI Tuner that will do that for you if your phone is rooted
That's a valid question.
There should be only battery percentage and nothing more.

What else do we lose by doing this? Is this yet another app that uses GMS, spies on us, generates constant wake locks, and drains our batteries?
