I use Tasker which can do everything juice defender does and more, but yes, it does help if your phone goes into airplane mode over night, and auto switch off wifi when you leave home.

I bought tasker after reading wnp_79's description of it within his guide and have never regretted spending the money for a minute!
wnp_79 and ben_pyett ,you've convinced me ,gonna get Tasker
I'm using a free version, and it definetly improves battery life
Am using the ultimate version and not much difference

Yes but not a huge amount. I found I used 20-30% battery per day with it turned on so I saved maybe 10%.

Tasker also adds all the additional automation functionally, saving you tine and effort which is far more important

Sure, it probably won't help with battery life much though.

I disagree, tasker automates my use of my radios and sync' ing depending on location, time and date (thanks wnp_79), so it will not just save you some battery but also data which is just as important if you're on a limited data plan.

K Guys Have a bit of OS knowledge and stuff...
So all I can say juice defender or tasker won't save battery...they would just automate things better...
So if you shut wifi evrytime you finish with its use and blah blah other such things...
It won't help a bit...
Else if you forget and stuff...then you would see improvement...
Thats the fact...So if you use your cell efficiently you won't need it...

We're clearly not all as perfect as you in which case it will save battery,.I agree efficient use will get the same but is much harder

thanks but that's what i've been doing for a week or two and got no where that's why i asked someone who may know about this stuff since this is where all the experts are
Well you could always just bump your old threads.... And you wouldn't get pl to flame you like they are doing now..
And the thing is ultimate juice doesn't always work
I would suggest root + overclock widget (Underclocking)
This gives me over 25 hours of charge with great performance
Gives it a try

this guys are just reading their stuff when they're reviewing things so they do made mistake too, like when the infuse is not yet release all this review site says "battery last 4days" I think they mean 4hrs of non stop use or 4days of standby don't touch the thing mode lol

I don't see it, but maybe it just hasn't been software enabled. It seems like sometimes there are last minute tweaks made to improve battery performance, or whatever, so I'm guessing this was one of those modifications.

Juice Defender can help wonders in terms of battery life. There are also numerous task managers out there but you really have to understand when/how/with what to use them or they often do more harm than good!

I'm currently on qkster's stock rooted rom (which is awesome, by the way), but I'd like to try something a littler more fun.
Here's my concern - I'd like it to be relatively light RAM-wise. I get a ton of slowdown (even when using Advanced Task Killer) and am curious if any of the current roms have a lighter memory footprint.
I also need bluetooth and GPS.
So, anyone who's flashed 'em all (or even a few) have a recommendation?
Thanks in advance!!!!

I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only light roms are Vagabond, AEON, and [Dev]a station. All of which are excellent choices. I believe AEON might be the lightest due to Bigfau's choice of apps and such.

qkster rom is great...you get a ton of slowdown? Must have a ton apps running? Powerful depends on the users hands...sure if we both have the same Heavy Duty F350 Ford Truck, but all you do is drive around town and I use mine on the Ranch hauling, pulling, working the fields...your definition of power is different than mine...btw I'm Ford Fan...

All dependant on the app you use, look through the store to see which ones are good and which are not. If an app has a battery drain issue, most likely its all in he reviews. I really couldn't comment seeing as I don't use an IM program myself
