Greenify vs. Stamina Mode - Xperia Z3 Compact General

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone has tried using both of these(not tougher!) and can provide some information on which is better.
Thanks!

I use both, but in the end I use Greenify more often. I also think that they don't really work the same.

Really? When I tried using them both together it crashed my phone. As far as I understood they both provide a hibernation mode for background apps...

Hmm I just tried using both and it worked without a problem. Stamina doesn't really hibernate apps I believe, it just cut off the Internet connection till you turn on your screen again. (Of course on a more sophisticated way)
You should be able to use both at the same time without any problems.

I never use Stamina tho, I even had to travel for 15 hours, but never enabled Stamina because the phone could handle that with ease. Anyways I have nothing special @ Stamina settings no apps whitelisted.
And also in Greenify I haven't done anything special, the only thing I did was select which apps should be greenified and that was all (Stamina wasn't in the list of apps that should be Greenified)

I only use Stamina Mode when I'm out travelling. I'm a true greenify fan, however since I rooted and got rid of the bloatware it's almost superfluous since there's not much to hibernate

I use Stamina in conjunction with ds battery saver pro. Not sure if one overrides the other, etc. as they r both supposed to work in a similar fashion? Either way, my battery life is fantasmagorical!

App looks like it would be awesome but without root I'm not able to control CPU so its not worth it for me. I use widgets to control everything that the program does and then I don't need to have it running in the backround

Glad that works for you. Me personally, I'd rather let an app do it. Then it can still let things in every so often without me doing anything. And the battery use is minimal in the background.
JuiceDefender works... it's a good application. The more time you spend setting it up correctly, the better it works. And having UltimateJuice is a must.
I don't believe in Taskillers as they are just taking up CPU cycles killing off applications that aren't even doing anything (read up on how Android works to understand this fully, mainly how it kills of application and how they can be open and dormant).
gonna give this a shot, thanks
What is the proper way to set up, or some decent configurations for Juice Defender? I've tried it but I really do not understand it at all.
Giving it a try on Fresh 3.1.0.1.

actually seems like a pretty good app, setcpu saves me so much battery already just by underclocking when the screen is off idk if i need to sacrifice my data connections. anyone know the benefits of ultimate juice?

If you set it up as I do in the video, I've found that its a very good balance.

Agreed on both accounts. You gotta go for UltimateJuice and I can't emphasize more that task killers really don't help. You're completely right on your points. The apps aren't doing anything. Android doesn't handle background apps poorly like a PC.

In the video I state the benefits of UltimateJuice. Also, with JuiceDefender you'll be able to underclock as you do with setcpu. Saves you a running app as well

I know...my cube is right next to the door with the director of my department going in and out of it all day long. So it's stealthier for me to watch a video on my desktop rather than my phone.
Oh the woes of an intern.

Oh, it's just a big advertisement for JuiceDefender. I thought it was providing some acutal tweaks and settings to change and some data to back it up.

Does Facebook app really eat battery ? / Friendcaster as a substitute ?

I keep reading that Facebook's app eats battery like crazy , is there some truth to that? I have it set to refresh every hour which i think is quite decent , I uninstalled it and saw no visible difference , what about you guys ?
I downloaded too friendcaster to use it as a substitute but a lot of images on the needs feed look really blurred , does anyone have the same problem ?

Try Greenify. You can have it force Facebook to hibernate after a while so it doesn't stay on and do things.

It used to be horrible, both to use and in battery life. I find it much better now, to the point that I can't tell if I have used greenify to hibernate it or not.

You could always check to see if you did greenify or not
Good to know that is quite better yet ,maybe I don't need friendcaster after all

Yes, for me it eats a lot and other apps too : yahoo messenger,whatsapp,etc...
I use Android Pro Widgets for Facebook and I can say its much much kinder to your battery life.
Just greenify it. Works like a charm.

Bad battery with tw roms

Hi, im getting some bad battery life's with any tw ROM. I get an average of 10hours with 2.5hours screen on. I've tried a lot of tweaks etc. Like disabling location services and down clocked CPU etc. I've disabled smart screen and all of those features. But when running stock android I can easily get 2days.
Someone know how to fix this.?

Well maybe that's why
Use BetterBatteryStats to see what's using your battery or maybe wakelocks, also use Greenify to hibernate apps you don't use
Greenify helps for a bit but it still bad

I wasn't very impressed with the Note 3's battery life at first, then I went into Settings>Application Manager and disabled a whole bunch of bloatware. Also went into each app and turned off any background update and location service if we don't need it. You can do this without root. Just take a look on this board and you'll see someone has compiled a list of apps that you can disable.
The phone now runs cooler, and yesterday, we had 14h usage and 6.5 hours display on time (auto brightness). Very impressive in my book.

Turn off all the Samsung features when you're not using them like Smart Stay and Air Gesture. The sensors are always on in certain apps when you have them enabled. Turning them on and off is easily accessible via the notification toggles. But it will only slightly help, your phone should be performing better than that even with those features running. Try a factory reset if it is safe to do with the root method.

yup. was recommended that app on the s4, great app
Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

I essentially hibernate everything except system apps and widgets, just to be safe. You would also not hibernate apps that you want background notifications from. I also use the donate version, which allows me take advantage of GCM. Which, for apps that use GCM, allows me to hibernate those apps and still receive notifications.
Hope that helps =]
My favorite app is the Snapdragon BatteryGuru. I love it! That will monitor usage and show you which programs are battery hogs and will learn your behaviors with your phone. Only works with the Snapdragon Processor phones as well.
