So I still get about 2%-5% battery drain an hour with Juice Defender when I'm not even touching my phone. My understanding is that it shuts of your data and radio when the screen shuts off, and then reenables it when you "wake up" and turn on your phone screen again. This is unacceptable. This get's worse when I browse the internet and I lose 10-20% an hour doing this activity. I have to recharge almost 3 times in a day at coffee shops inorder for my phone not to die by the time I commute home on the bus.
I have noticed that this phone could be practical like the last generation of smartphones from 2007-2009 which browse the web, play games and videos, make calls and text and still hold a charge for 2-3 days, if there was a way to enable airplane mode but at the same time recieve calls.
I have auto airplane mode installed and it enables airplane mode when my screen shuts off, and then disables it when my screen turns on. Although I can't recieve calls my battery does not drain at all when I airplane mode is enabled.
So my questions are, what's the difference between Juice Defender and Airplane mode? What Data and radio does both turn off, since Juice defender still "bleeds" battery energy when the phone is not even touched, while airplane mode doesn't. And is there a way to auto enable airplane mode when it sleeps, yet still recieve incoming calls?
Airplane mode shuts down all modem and radio functions, which blocks calls, data, texts and wifi.. Everything.
Juice defender only blocks of data connectivity, disabling syncing, and all edge/3g/4g.
I'm not sure how much juice defender truly helps, but I definitely would use it instead of airplane mode where I lose every single call and text.

How do you get 3-5% battery drain per hour on Juice Defender?
I get 1% drain in 6 hours with phone on standby which means I can still get phone calls and text.
There are 3 versions of Juice Defender (free, plus, ultimate). I am using the ultimate edition with the profile set to "Extreme" and all my apps configured in the "Configure apps" section. In the Extreme setting, my wifi and data is stopped when Juice Defender is enabled. I just disable Juice Defender when I need wifi or data.
Juice Defender doesn't work by itself after you just download the app. You have to go in and configure the settings.
I also use Advance Task Manager widget (JuiceDefender already unchecked from kill list of the application). before I turn off the screen of my phone.

Have a Rogers SGS2 LTE. I have power saving mode enabled in the settings. It comes on at 30%, and shuts of wifi and bluetooth if not connected, dims the screen and reduces the screen time-out to 15 seconds.
My question is this. Last night it went on at about 9 pm which was fine, and power lasted til I went to bed. In the morning after charging, the time-out is still at 15% and the bluetooth is still off. Does the power-saving mode not change the settings back to the original once the power is over the threshold, in my case 30%?
Secondly, if I'm using a product like Juice Defender, should I be disabling the built-in power-saving mode and letting JD do it's work.
Thanks

i just got a Skyrocket and also noticed the green mode doesnt undo itself upon charging, on 2.3.6. Annoying! i changed my setting to 10%
Ideally you should only have one app managing low power conditions. Avoids any chance of conflict. If you're going to stick with juice defender, use it by itself.
Keep in mind sometimes settings get messed up. Once or twice over a long span isn't too bad. Something messing up more than that likely has an app forcing undesirable settings.

I have bluetooth in my car and I stream pandora from my phone while im driving. I have juice defender installed and I disable it cause the phone is plugged in. Every time the phone goes into sleep mode, I loose the bluetooth connection and juice defender turns back on. Is there a way to have the phone stay out of sleep mode and stay active while its plugged in? Ive tried looking for that feature but I cant seem to find it. Any help would be great.
screen on while charging, also try freezing juice defender in titaniu rebooting trying again. JD has been known to be very problematic
I have absolutely horrible signal at my school. Usually 1 bar of 4g to no service at all. Tryed to switch to 3g but still getting horrible drain. Down to 35% in 5 hours with 15 minutes of screen on time

Switch your phone Airplane mode, will turn off the cell radios.
You can still turn on WiFi while in Airplane mode if necessary.
edit: sorry, ninja'd but a bit more information, hope it helps as well
i'm guessing you need connectivity, otherwise, if you are just interested in saving battery, just turn on airplane mode. This will shut off your radios, and while you won't get any text or phone calls, it will save battery life. once you turn off airplane mode, your texts and any missed calls should show up.
also, check what else might be running in the background. live wallpapers, numerous sync programs (facebook, twitter, certain weather apps if they are set to upgrade) can also be causing a drain on your battery as well.
I recommend just turning off mobile data. That way you still receive texts and calls, but nothing that requires data to kill your battery while it struggles to sync/download/etc. Now it wont save battery like airplane mode but I don't like not being able to receive texts and calls.
Hi folks. I recently bought the juice defender ultimate. I like it, but i find myself turning it on and off often. Simply because i don't get the seemless usage I want out of it. When I stream music and the screen shuts off, then the data also cuts off. Then I don't get emails at the frequency I'd like. I do push e-mails. I assume this is an issue. But it I set my boxes up to update every 5 minutes, would this conflict with the juice defender timer?
Those are my main issues with juice defender. Also, text messages don't come in timely either. Someone please help me set it up better. I'm getting 8-10 hours from my phone with moderate usage.

On Status tab under Profile select advanced.
On Help tab under Help select show.
Read thorough help information included with each feature.
To continue streaming with screen off go to Triggers tab, under Apps select 'enabled' then under Configure tap on the configure apps button. This'll bring up a list of apps. Select the ones that require streaming to operate (Pandora, internet radio, play music, etc.)
One of the main features of JD is to periodically enable data to conserve battery. I've scheduled mine for 15 minute frequency (see under Schedule tab). I don't get emails or social network updates immediately but it doesn't matter to me.
JD shouldn't impact SMS unless you've set JD to turn on airplane mode. This is because SMS doesn't use data.
Took me a while to get things setup properly. Doing so taught me some things. Its interesting to look at battery stats graph and see active toggling at the frequency set in JD.
Have fun!
Here's an example showing JD regularly toggling Wi-Fi. I have it set to thirty minutes in this case.

Dear all
I would like save battery life on WiFi. Is there a way I can schedule WiFi on/off at certain interval? Example: Turn on WiFi for 1 minutes then turn it off for 10 minutes and repeat these 2 steps indefinitely.
There are several automation apps on the play store that should be able to do this but using an automation app will cause you problems. The problem will be that when you want to turn it on for an extended period of time it will turn off at the next interval, so you might be in the middle of something and then it turns off. Have you looked at how much battery your WiFi is using? Settings>Battery>(and for me I touch the battery at the top) It shows my battery usage, charging spikes, how long it's been since a full charge and below that everything that is using battery and at what percentage by group. i.e. Apps, Mobile network standby, System, Phone idle, Bluetooth and WiFi. My WiFi is on 24/7 and is currently sitting at 0% 6 hours after being taken off the charger. Just saying. Tasker is probably one of the best automation apps, but it's a paid app and has a bit of a learning curve. There are some that are simpler for free that will likely work.
