Stamina mode preserves your battery by disabling some services while your phone screen is off.
About the notification settings there is an ignore list for the stamina mode to which you can add/remove apps, in addition you can go to
Settings -> Power Management -> App power consumption and see if Instagram is listed there.
Stamina clock means that when you turn on your screen WITHOUT unlocking your phone, your phone will stay on stamina mode.
for example if you are using dashclock on your lockscreen it won't query the weather or mail or w/e you set it to have.

HCQS Guide for Improve Your Galaxy Note 5’s Battery Life

Given how battery life is high on everybody's priorities when choosing a smartphone, it's only natural that people reacted that way. Samsung Note 5 A smaller battery, all things being equal, obviously means shorter run time for the juicer.
1.
Reduce that brightness!
That Samsung Galaxy Note 5’s 5.7-inch QHD screen is big, beautiful and bright. The only problem is that it is also a resource hog, and those are exactly the reasons why. If you really want to expand battery life, you should watch out for that screen. One way to continue enjoying your phone and save energy is to reduce brightness. It’s easy to do. And unless you spend a lot of time outdoors, chances are you are overdoing the brightness, anyways.
2. note 5 ultra power saving mode
Use Ultra Power Saving Mode
Go to Settings > System > Power Saving > Ultra Power Saving Mode > On. You can enable or disable apps like: “Phone”, “Messages”, “Internet” or tap “+” to add more apps in the ultra power saving mode.
3. note 5 display brightness and screen timeout
Reduce Screen Brightness & Screen Timeout
Go to Settings > Quick Settings > Display > Brightness > uncheck the Auto and drag the slide to the left to adjust the screen brightness. Also, set the Screen Timeout under the tap of Display.
4. note 5 smart stay
Toggle off Smart Stay
Go to Settings > Display > Smart Stay and toggle it off.
5. note 5 motions and gestures
Turn off Motions and Gestures
Go to Settings > Motions and Gestures and disable the 4 options.
6. Super AMOLED: more blacks, less whites
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sports a gorgeous Super AMOLED screen. Colors are vibrant and blacks are super deep. This also means the screen uses much more energy to reproduce
lighter colors. In addition, picturing the color black will use no energy, as the pixel will technically be turned off (this is how AMOLED panels achieve such deep blacks).
7. note 5 abnormal battery usage
Check Abnormal Battery Usage
Go to Settings > Battery > Abnormal Battery Usage and monitor the battery draining apps, update, remove or reinstall them.
8. note 5 go grayscale
Go Grayscale
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Vision > and turn on Grayscale if you use the screen all the time, for example, reading.
9. disable wifi always scanning
Let Wi-Fi Scan While It is On
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > More > Always allow scanning > Scan only while Wi-Fi is on.
10. note 5 vibrations
Set Vibrations
Go to Settings > Sound & Notifications > Vibrations and set the vibration intensity and other options according to your needs.
11. note 5 auto scan
Switch off Auto Scan
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Universal Switch > Settings > and switch off Auto Scan.
12. note 5 gesture wake up
Shut down Gesture Wake Up
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and Interaction > and shut down Gesture Wake Up.
13. note 5 interaction control
Disable Interaction Control
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and Interaction > and disable Interaction Control.
14. note 5 dark theme
Pick up a Dark Theme
The Galaxy Note 5 comes with an AMOLED display screen, which power saving capability works perfectly in a black background as it needs more power to visualize the white screen.
15. Remove or disable apps you don’t use
How many of you are app hoarders? I know I am. It’s easy to download and keep all those awesome apps in your phone, which is great if you use them all, but that is hardly ever the case. Look through your applications and uninstall whatever you don’t need. If you can’t uninstall them (bloatware), just disable them from the app manager.

[GUIDE] MIUI Battery & Multi-tasking Fix v4.1 (Updated)

Redmi Note 3 (SD / MTK) Battery & Multi-Tasking Fix v4.1
For MIUI7 & MIUI8
Mediatek & Snapdragon Variants
Global/China & Beta/Stable ROMs​
MIUI is a forked version of Android with plenty of additional features & tweaks not found in stock AOSP ROM. MIUI is very smooth & has a great battery life on the Redmi Note 3. The powerful Snapdragon 650 with its excellent single core performance coupled with dual channel LPDDR3 RAM & eMMC 5.1 flash storage results in blazing fast 1st time app opening speeds.
MIUI by default is very aggressive at killing background apps in the running in the memory, as a result it is unable to keep more than 3-4 apps in the memory while multi-tasking or after waking up the device. Default settings are aimed to keep as much free RAM as possible thats where the problem lies. It kills the apps running in the background to keep most of its RAM free. Apps get killed & have to be reloaded again from the flash storage into the memory, this takes a lot of CPU, I/O cycles & makes the end user experience less enjoyable. Below settings might make your multitasking a bit better at the cost of less free RAM, but that shouldn't matter as RAM is meant to be used not kept free. Always remember "Free RAM is Wasted RAM.

- Swipe down the app icon or recent app screen to reveal a lock icon on top left corner.
- Tap on it, this locks the app into the memory & it wont get force killed in the background.
- To unlock the app repeat the same process and tap it again to unlock it from memory.
Important
- After doing the above mentioned changes, restart your device.

- These settings have hardly any effect on the battery life.
- I am getting more or less the same battery backup after using these settings.
Wiki : What does each and every option do?

- High: 767MB to 1GB
- Middle: 767MB to 1GB
- Low: Swap file disabled
- Off: Swap file disabled
• Show All ANRs : This option enables MIUI to show an obtrusive dialogue box after an app fails to stop responding . Setting this off doesnt show the pop-up frequently.
• Force-Closed Apps : This option enables MIUI to show an obtrusive dialogue box after an app force-closes unexpectedly. Setting this off doesnt show the message. It enables after every reboot.
• Turn On MIUI Optimization : This option enables a plethora of MIUI based settings & optimizations as per the guidelines set by the MIUI developers. It helps to load the app and the app data in parallel reducing load times and ensuring snappier user experience. This setting can sometimes cause a variety of issues on non-MIUI based apps such as Google Apps & Apps from Google Playstore. Its better to disable if you rely on Google Playstore for apps & services or use Global Stable or Global Beta MIUI ROMs
With the MIUI Optimization Enabled, some users reported the following issues
- Cannot set third-party launcher like Nova, Apex or Google Now launcher.
- Wallpaper cannot be set using in-built options via custom launchers.
- Occasional lags, stutters or freezes while scrolling web-pages & long lists.
- Custom apps set as default restore to default MIUI apps on reboot. (Only on MIUI China ROMs)
- Cannot set accessibility services on reboot.
- Background apps cannot sync data.
- Music players stop playing after sometime.
- UI Animations are not synced properly.
• After turning off MIUI optimization
- Above issues may get solved.

- Settings > Battery & Performance > Battery Use > Graph changes to AOSP style.
- Settings > Installed Apps > All > Documents > It will not be disabled after every reboot.
- Settings > Additional Settings > Buttons > Settings may get reset.

I would love to know what this option does.
I disabled and i notice that the device is a little smoother. I have one very big folder with all the useless apps, scrolling was always stuttering in there.
Now its smooth.
EDIT
My device is the simple redmi 3, but i still would like to know what is this MIUI optimization.
Settings App > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Memory Optimization : Enabled
only got off,low,middle,high. no enabled. so which one better?

It sychronizes the UI thread with the animation time, so by keeping it disabled the clock timer doesnt have to wait for the animation to start/stop. The CPU effortlessly renders the animations without waiting for the MIUI framework to sychronize the animations.

that was a mistake, I edited it. Keep it DISABLED
Still doesn't work for me. It keeps closing my apps,sometimes even when i'm still using them. It closes my apps even when I lock them by swiping down.The ram management is just too aggressive.
Thanks man you fixed it :good:
Much smoother and useful
Thread Updated

Hi there.... I have this problem when I play music with SPOTIFY in background. (redmi note 3 pro 16GB - global stable MIUI 7.3.2)
The music stop playing. I can see the app get killed by MIUI. This happen even if the app is locked and is in background. This problem doesn't happen with google play music. When I turn on the screen I can see that is not image and song name just like this
when I turn on the screen this is like this imgur image [o9nTtWD]
Already tried all this recommendation without success.
thanks

This will prevent the SystemUI from showing XYZ app has been force closed for an uninterrupted user experience.
Donwload kernel auditor, go to "Low memory Killer" set to Medium or Aggressive if you have lag (you shouldn't), now the phone can keep around 10 apps in memory.
Thanks. It helped. Was frustrated by apps getting closed

I have followed all the steps, and some tips I found on other links (enable apps to autostart), but my apps still get killed randomly. Any more advice?

Battery manager stuff ?

Hello everyone !
I just bought a Redmi Note 7. This morning my alarm didn't ring for some reason. I use the Google Clock. Also I can't make "OK Google" working when my screen is off. Some notifications take time to be showed. Etc.
Is the battery manager thing responsible of all those "bugs" ? Is that a weird "Greenify" ?
Since I didn't unlock the device and install a real Android ROM, any of you have a solution for alarm so my boss don't kill me tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help guys.
Settings > manage apps > clock (or any other app) > battery saver > no restrictions.
Also enable autostart in the same settings menue.
And avoid stuff like naptime, if you are not experienced with such things.
Hi there. It's probably a MIUI battery saver thing. So for all of your mission critical apps whose notifications you want to receive instantly, do this:
1) Go to app settings for the app in question
2) Toggle on Auto start
3) Turn on all notifications that you want to receive
4) Set the battery saving setting to no restrictions.
If you notice that an app still gets closed in the background for some reason, add another step:
5) Open the app and then open the Recent apps screen. Tap and hold the preview image of the app in question. Tap the first icon (lock app). This will lock it in memory and only you will be able to manually swipe it off and clear it from memory. Tapping the Close All button in Recents will not close the locked apps.
After I had done this with the apps that I wanted real time notifications from (or battery tracking apps that I wanted always running in the background), I've never had any issues with late or missed notifications.
I don't use 'OK Google' to wake the phone. I'm not sure if this is possible with all newer phones or only with specific SoCs.
Thanks for your answers. That was that battery saver options. Have a nice weekend.
