Problem with battery drain and Green Power

Hi there.
My wife has been using her Redmi 1S for quite a while now and she is more than happy with it. Not being the adventurous type (and being as far as a geek as one could possibly imagine) she doesn't care about upgrading from V5 or any other stuff. Problem is battery drain, she's become quite a power user having to do a lot of work related stuff from her phone. This can mean that many days her phone can run out of juice in half a day.
I installed Green Power for her, in my phone (Xperia SP) has always worked great. The problem is that in her phone the app always shuts itself off. I open it, everything seems ok, next time I check, the app is off and I have to re-start it again. This, basically, means the app cannot do its job. I have tried locking it in memory but it doesn't matter, whenever I switch on the screen the app is off. edit: Ok, this is a bit extreme, If I check shortly after opening the app it will be there, but if I forget about it and check a few hours later then it is gone.
Is there anything I can do about it? Many thanks!

It's a MIUI feature, you can disable it through settings

Just open security app, there's an option to set up related battery use and auto start apps permission and more as you want. Try to install latest version of official miui rom for redmi 1s (i suggest you global stable/dev rom).

P6 battery usage

Hi, I need a bit of help please with my P6 still on 4.2.2 my issue is a massive drain on battery life apparently being caused by Android OS using up around 70%. I have only wifi and mobile internet running with location etc turned off. One thing that I'm unable to control the background apps manager setting properly in that the only app I want to keep running is WhatsApp so I set the All button to off. However in next to no time I find it has switched itself back to on.
I've been through manage apps and turned off or disabled pretty well all that I dare.
Many thanks in advance.

Oh, just to add a little more information if I try to access Start up manager I get a "Power manager has stopped working" message.
Is there some way I could reinstall or repair the Power manager?

Unfortunately WhatsApp seems to override sleep on a lot of systems so you may be in a situation where it is constantly waking itself up.
Try just letting it run i.e don't try to stop it in start manager.

Thanks for that, the problem doesn't appear to be with WhatsApp because when I look at the battery consumption tab the biggest user by far, and mean at up to 70% is the android OS.
I only mention start up manager as it's one of the items controlled through power manager. My real issue is the background apps manager self enabling all background apps.
I'm really trying to avoid doing a factory reset if possible.

Notification problem

I have a problem with notifications that most of the time arrive when I unlock the phone. I already disabled my messaging apps from battery optimization but somehow it seeems that those apps are being optimized or the phone goes to sleep. I'm currently using greenify but those apps with notification are not included in greenify list.
I am currently on oreo 9.6.9 and from what I remember I also had this problem with the previous version.
Do you have any suggestion? And those who have latest oreo version does my problem sometimes occurs to you?

Unable to receive notifications after MIUI 12 Update

Hi all, I updated my rooted note 8 pro to miui 12 through twrp yesterday and all went fine but after some time I realized that I am unable to receive any notification including WhatsApp and outlook email and when i manually open the app, I receive pending messages instantly... so i tried to do some tricks. myself.. I turned off battery saver for it and set it to no restrictions and also turned on auto start option as well but no luck ... issue is still same..
i also tried to turn off adaptive notification in special access section but it didn't help either, also it sets itself to notifications option (2nd option) automatically after i restart my phone.. so , anybody got a clue what should i do for it as it is so important for me to get all notifications instantly... Thankyou
i have Indonesian rom installed in my phone in case it matters..

Did you reboot after turning on auto start? Also try setting the notification priority to high or locking the apps in app manager.

Of course I rebooted many times and notifications already set to high priority by default but still I am unable to get notifications.

Did you lock the apps with app manager and set battery optimizations to no restrictions?

Question I can't receive notifications on my Xiaomi K40 smartphone

Hi guys,
I recently bought the new Xiaomi K40 Gaming smartphone.
MIUI version: 12.5.8
Android 11
I am still setting it up, but one of the things I can't get to work are the notifications.
I am not receiving notifications from my apps (Twitter, YouTube, Yahoo mail, gmail, facebook, Fotmob etc)
Even if I get notifications they come only when I open the app or in some rare cases when I leave the app open under my menu/recents
- I have trippled checked and the apps are set to give notifications.
- I have set the app to autostart.
- I also made sure that battery saver for the app is on "No restriction"
- I have cleared cache severally, restarted the phone so many times
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the app
Yet I am still not getting consistent notifications.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this
Note: I didn't perform any extra setting and I wasn't having any problems with notifications on my previous phone - Huawei Nova 2 Plus.

Please can anybody help me

As far as I remember, you need to disable battery optimization in general or for the app.
Sadly I don't remember the specifics but that should be easy to explore online.

make sure battery saver is off as well even though you no restrictions if battery saver is on it will over rule that and keep things from running the BG like if the battery falls below 90% if you enable developer options make sure background running apps is set to standard limit and if that still don't work install a custom rom like Arrow my favorite..

I have done this and I am still not getting notifications

I am having the same problem and I turned everything did all that need to be done and still nothing did you get a solution for this

Same here , notifications only appear when i open the app , i mean what kind of battery saving or optimization which silence messaging notifications without a clear option toggle , if there is anything lead to preventing notifications MIUI should made it clear for the user .. so frustrating

Try in settings / accounts and notifications / Automatic data sync
