Anyone use this?

nope, kinda useless really. People prefer battery "saving" apps like juice defender. I personally have a program called lux that turns down brightness at 5%, and just turn the rest of stuff off manually

im running kg6 icbinb but i feel like im using it too much, i use it for music, work out for like an hour and text heavily and facebook and youtube... i tried juice defender but it made me loose my connection most of the time...
Juice defender turns off your data connections when the screen turns off, so that's probably what is happening. The paid version lets you maintain connections with specific apps you choose, but you may want to try other battery saver programs to see if there is a free one with app control.
Alright lol thanks man!!

Set your apps to update manually. Automatic screen brightness. proper battery calibration. Will all help too

Is there an app or setting that is in the hidden menu so that while the screen is off data is off... I know they have the setting for wifi but I'm hardly around wifi except at home, and I'm hardly ever home... which is why I would like to save as much battery as possible.

JuiceDefender does not work well with any stock based rom like Weapon. For stock based rom you have to use the new beta version.

Will try later, I have juice defender before but it was just a nuisance and didn't see any real change. Maybe I'll look into it some more, thanks.

Tasker can do it easily. There's really no reason to ever use Juice Defender, Tasker can do everything it can do and so much more.

Tasker is a great app but some people don't use paid apps and juice defender can do what the OP needed in the free app.. But if you don't mind the $6 and some change its a great app

Hey guys I would just like ppl opinion on the various battery saving apps that are available on the market.
Do you think they actually work? best apps(in your opinion) and best configuration to save most battery.
I have juice defender and and it always says that it is saving me somewhere around 1.6 but I'm not totally sure that that is the case.
I have not had it installed for the last couple of days and my battery doesn't seem to be noticeable y worse than when it was installed

I have stopped using them. I have think it depends in how a person uses their phone to start with. All of those options, can be done manually. I personally got tires of switching to different profiles for what I was doing. I haven't noticed much difference myself.
but, that is just my experience.

Yes well that's the way I'm going I think. They taking up space and memory on phone and not really getting any noticeable benefit from having them installed.

The battery on my phone is going iPhone-ish, I need one of the battery saving apps, Are there any decent ones yet?
I would try Bataria from the market. Its free, and doesn't use much resources to do its job. I think the best is to manually adjust different settings on your phone. Same results, nothing running in the background to do it.
I am using Greenpowe.
Battery apps are usually crap. The only ones that really work are the ones that modify how your phone's software works. And those almost always require root access.
If by chance you are rooted, I recommend SetCPU, Autostarts and Autokiller. SetCPU will allow you to set profiles such as throttling while the screen is off, which will save you a ton of battery. Autostarts will stop custom apps from starting with your phone's OS, which leads to less background processes. And Autokiller will ensure that you have plenty of free memory for less tasks being killed and restarted. That alone has the potential to make a huge difference in your battery life.
I'm not trying for snarky, but
An app can't save battery by running
But you can save battery by turning something off

I totally agree.
My uncle uses juice defender, but I think it's better for the battery to manage everything yourself.

yeah I've been using Juice Defender. It does save some battery life.
If you have a horrible phone like mine, juice defender ultimate works wonders. My LG optimus m gets about 12 hours of life without it, and about 18 hours with it.

On my OG EVO I used juice defender plus and it helped out greatly. Saw 1.8x a couple of times. On the new EVO LTE I don't use a thing and it keeps going and going and going...

Hi everyone,
Did anyone have any issue with juice defender and wifi? Every time I turn on my screen juice defender enables wifi but the signal strength is shown as minimum. Problem is solved after a sleep (or a reboot). My setting includes juice defender to manage my wifi and my wifi sleep policy is set to "when plugged in".
Thanks,
Sayantan

Admins I reckon that I may have posted this in the wrong section. Can you please move it to "Themes and Apps"?

Uninstall that app! Juice defender will cause you more headaches then you know! It causes all kinds of wake locks on your phone. Android has a fantastic build in task killer that monitors apps and kills them if necessary.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Very true. Juice Defender, will cause even good behaving apps to freak out and keep their wake locks active while they wait for the data connection. If you want to improve your battery's life expectancy between charges, try HERE...
Agreed Apex. SHAME ON ME for not sending him to your battery thread. Daggumit. Nooooob Fall.

No worries, mate!
Very true.. Thanks for showing me the right direction on this. This app is way more pain than it's useful. You end uo micro managing anyway.
I found that I was draining battery partly due to overclocking (1350). Maybe I need to play with the governors more. Currently using pegasusq with sio on the io side.
Thanks,
Sayantan
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. I'll try it first thing tomorrow. Does it add the hotplug governor to shut off one core? The one that I was trying out now is pegasusq, but I think I messed up its parameters a bit. I also gave hotplugx a try, but did not get better results.. Will try and let you know the results.
Thanks for sharing this mate,

Don't use JD, it uses more battery life than it saves, or might just break even, it's a placebo. Use toggles to turn off 4g and wifi when not in use
i also used JD few months back. found it to useless in terms of battery life, though it shows battery life incresed x2.0 times. not using now.:banghead:
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I must admit I was fooled by it for a long time and was impressed by its "300%" battery improvement. I finally un installed it and started using my toggles more frequently, and 3g is turned off on my phone unless I'm out and want data or I'm sending an mms, that combined with smart underclocking rules (screen off, and in steps as the battery dies) will get you a lot more battery life than JD or any other app will get you. I've heard tasker can be good to automate battery saving rules, but for me personally pressing a widget or dragging my status bar down doesn't require much effort. If you still aren't happy with your battery life, look into an extended battery

I haven't really found anything solid about this, but I habitually (like conventional wisdom really) keep my mobile data off until I actually need it, then it's off again. And the only substantial difference I've found is that the cpu jumps around alot while connected. But what are your guy's thoughts on this?

Use juice defender. It does that by itself.

Well I think it depends. If you turn off data and continue to use the phone, then you're probably saving some battery. If you turn off data, then turn off the screen and let the phone drop into deep sleep, the savings in battery is probably negligible.
It also depends on your area as well. I always turn my data off when I am around any wifi. I get substantially better battery life
