The One UI 2.1 has a new deep sleep mode for apps to save battery.
I just noted that these apps are displayed as disabled by Play Store will not be updated. There is any easy way to keep these apps updated or should I enable them all, update and then add again on the deep sleep list.
Thanks in advance.
I am still wondering if there is an easier way around it.

Long time user of Timely ...didn't need anything fancy, just a reliable alarm that would gradually increase the alarm volume and a reasonably attractive interface to simulate a nightstand clock.
Apparently Marshmallow has messed up some of the notification processes within Timely and it now frequently stops working. I've looked at the large number of replacement apps without anything really seeming to be decent. I tried the built in Android clock and this morning, it didn't alarm. I'll gladly purchase an app that will work.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advacne.
I think you need to turn off the battery optimisations (doze) for timely. Settings > Battery > Overflow menu : Battery Optimisation

Thx. I'll give that a try.
Take a look at this thread, they describe the same problem with 3rd party alarm apps and a solution. https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/3t3dwl/doze_adjustments_and_clarifications/
The solution is not disabling battery optimization for the app, it's enabling priority notifications for the app.
Doze sucks, saves our battery but makes our smartphones dumb.
Doesn't the stock clock app achieve your requirements now (gradually increase volume and night mode)?

Functionally it does, however the font size is smaller and I don't care for the changing clock position on the screen Just personal preference.
I'm using timely from the day I got the 5X, haven't had any issues at all
I am using Alarm Clock Plus .... works great as always.
Using timely on nexus 5x. no problems here either.
i would just clear the cache of that app and reassign all alarms again to see if that fixes it. when in doubt clear your cache lol
How to boost your Phone RAM & Battery Life by installing two apps in any Android Cell
Hello Geeks,
Here I am gonna tell you how I am extending my cellphone battery life & making my cell phone to use less RAM. SD-MAID & GREENIFY. Condition of using these two apps is - your phone should be rooted. Let me tell you steps to use this:
1) Go to play store & download SD MAID & GREENIFY.
2) Open SD Maid > App-control. Touch the refresh icon on top. It asks for root permission. Allow it. Now, you can see a list of apps. By seeing apps some of them are with label Auto-start. Touch that app > Toggle auto-start component & a pop up window come. Turn off the components by touching ON. Do it for every app you do not want to run in background.
3) Now Open Greenify. Touch Plus icon on top. Allow root permissions. Now you can see. Touch show all apps. Here you need to add apps for Hibernation. Add apps which you want out of memory. And touch the sleep icon. Create shortcut for Hibernation if you want to add Greenify Hibernate shortcut to your Home Screen.
These apps are very small in size. Making the most of memory empty for other apps.
Enjoy
Does anyone have any recommendations for a battery app that can monitor wakelock and other battery drains? Thanks in advance.
Here are my battery saving tips:
1. Get BetterBatteryStats the app. You can find the apps draining under Alarms.
2. Use PrivacyGuard, deny any "Keep Awake" and "Run in background" to anything that isn't necessary.
3. Download Icebox from Playstore. It disables (the app calls it "freezing") apps that you choose. I freeze apps that I don't use often, and have it setup to re-freeze them after the screen is off for 5 minutes. You can create shortcuts to frozen apps on the desktop so it's easily accessible. Downside is that you can't use the widgets for frozen apps.
4. Use Naptime. The phone is going to doze anyways, why not just let it hit sooner?
After the Pie update, I've been seeing full screen ads appear on my screen after I unlock my phone. It usually happens after a certain period of time. Any suggestions on how to find out what causes this?
Also, is it possible that Pie update installed some new app that gives me these ads?
PS. I myself haven't installed any new apps after updating.
Definitely some app you got installed.
Is there a way to have this support more than 3 apps? It's ridiculous there's a limit with the amount of ram on this phone
That's a GREAT question, and I'd love to know the answer too. I haven't found one yet though. RAM isn't an issue on this phone. Maybe they worry too many locked in memory will affect battery life too much?
Where did you learn this is the limit? I've gone days without opening an app before and when I go back to it it's right where I left off.
You could perhaps go to the battery saving menu and disable the battery saving for any apps you want to remain running. This may cause some serious background battery usage though, but It may be worth trying out. Also, try running the high performance mode. I've run that mode a lot and never noticed it causing much battery drain over the standard optimised mode.
Coming from Oneplus and using it for a long time I can tell you, the Note 10+ is probably one of the best multitasking phones I've used (including Note 9). Chrome on this hardly ever closes in the background and find it always running and available with all the tabs open. Oneplus phones can hardly keep anything in memory / background loaded for more than 5 mins but but Oneplus phones feel sooooo much more responsive and snappy comparatively otherwise.
The default for background apps is set to, "standard." Which allows more than 3 background apps.
Go into Device Care - > Battery - > App power management
Some apps may have been automatically added to sleep or deep sleep.
You can add or remove apps as needed.

After you add three to "Keep open for quick launching" the option becomes greyed out.
You're right, it's generally not an issue where apps get closed down in the background anyway, but I normally have 4 or 5 that I always wanted 'pinned' to my recents list. Not a big deal, I just found the limit strange, given the phone's capabiities and hardware.

How do you get " keep open for quick launching “ , I only get lock app instead , I'm running one ui 2.1 june security patch ” picture attached ”
Anyway you can bypass this using good lock app from galaxy store and use the module multistar and toggle on ”long live apps”

I'm also on One UI 2.1, June security patch. Screenshot of my menu option is attached. Maybe it's different between countries/regions/models? Mine is the Canadian N975W.
Edit: attachments aren't working, here's a link to the screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqdgaMVMg2EMirgLXMqey1V1d0Gsdg?e=RGdVeX
I have three settings :
Put apps to sleep
Put apps to deep sleep
Apps that are not put to sleep.
I can add as many as i want in here.
There's an option to Goodlock's Task Changer to keep an app open which is a setting you don't have anywhere else in the system.
But i don't have that long live app in Multistar on my end.
Sorry for digging this up but do all of your apps appear in the "Apps that never sleep" list of apps?
I'm missing quite a few of my apps, aProfiles and Philips Hue for a start...
Anyone has noticed that before? Thnx
