right now I got three that I use everyday to ensure my battery last just a bit longer than it should, though I'm still recharging while at work...12 hour shifts so I usually have to charge after hour 8 if I've gotten a full overnight charge.

any other's or better app's out there for battery saving goodness?
Battery saving apps I use
I use Screebl lite (free) and Advance Task Manager (paid) with the setting set right I seem to get an extra hour or two out of my stock battery and all day/night with my extended battery
Locale! Sets wifi/bluetooth/gps/data/screen brightness depending on different conditions.
I also use the infamous "Advanced Task Manager" paid version. A life saver for a phone that has everything.
WiSyncPlus usually regulates my APN connections and saves battery for me
CyanogenMod ROM is a battery saver by itself + I use Advanced Task Manager to kill unnecessary apps and Autostarts to disable autostart for the apps that I don't need to start automatically.

If you want to stretch your battery time, you want SIMPLICITY. Pick a mod that is close to stock ADP.

I have zero problems with Cyanogens 4.2.25 Rom. My battery holds up all day. I just use it when I want to. The only thing I've done differently with my phone is get a Seidio 1400 battery. I can easily go from 6am to 11pm without charging or worrying about it and often have 50% battery left over. I don't use any battery apps. Of course I don't have my WiFi or 3G on all day just to have it on.
Sure some will argue why spend 40bucks on a battery when you can use a $2 app. Well personally I think the battery apps are silly. You can do everything they do manually. Turn things off you don't need on and lower your screen to around 32% and use everything when you need it.
Hello guys,
lately my Nexus One abttery consumption gets more and more consumptive. I dunno why, I already reduced the home screen from 7 became 5 and reduce the widgets too. but the battery life now did't even reach one day.
I read that someone has their nexus one running 3 days with browsing and GPS n Sync ON.
any advice how to conserve battery life?
There are plenty of threads discussing that same question. Basically the answer is that there's no perfect formula. Experiment and see what you can achieve.
Personally I tend to turn off most of automatic syncing stuff, but it's not because of battery life, but rather because I want more control.
Also, if your mobile reception is constantly low, your battery life will be significantly shorter.
heres what i did to increase my battery life.
turn off wifi/bluetooth
i leave my screen brightness at 100% (i like my screen bright) and leave gps on since its only used when gps is required
download a battery saving kernal. im using intersectraven 925mv kernal. less power consumption=less battery used. its been shown that 925mv is the best voltage compared to 800mv/1000mv
download "Task Manager" from the market. use it to set all apps to "kill list" so that everything is killed when you put ur phone on lock/sleep. This app helped me save tons of battery. Power doesnt drain at all when your phone is idle and my phone is at constant 250+/- memory.
other then that my phone has all the widgets on the homescreen and battery is good

I don't suggest doing it, since it brings nothing good and no power saved. If you kill widgets that update themselves - you might as well not put them on the screen, since they do nothing. If you kill system services - you might as well uninstall the programs that run them, since they're not working. And for everything else - you're just wasting the CPU time required to kill and then relaunch programs, and the memory that can be used better.

1+2 = Nonsense.
1 - Kernel
2 - Task Killers cause more problems then they help.
Battery life is simply a function of how much CPU time is being used, how much data is being transferred, and how much the screen is on. Poor reception is another thing to consider, in most cases it's one of the three things above. Of course there are other factors, like how much you're talking on the phone, etc, but it boils down to three major things.
CPU time generally is only a problem when using the phone, games, live wallpapers (particularly 3D ones), and sometimes bad processes or badly designed programs. You can evaluate all of this using System Panel in the market.
How much data is being transferred you can control directly by setting your sync settings, or if you want to isolate it completely, disable syncing on all apps and otherwise use the phone normally. If you have Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, GMail, IM (Gtalk/whatever others), Weather, etc all syncing, it's going to be a lot of random traffic. Setting the phone to EDGE-only will reduce some of the battery usage from this, but controlling the syncing itself IMO is a better option than using EDGE.
Screen of course is how much you are playing with the phone, and I think this is the one that most people have problems with. If you're messing with the phone all day long, yes, it's going to "eat battery", and it's going to be caused from all three things above. CPU from you doing stuff, probably network traffic from you doing stuff, and the power to drive the screen. Some people suggest using black themes or backgrounds. Yes, AMOLED uses more power to drive a bright white than an LCD, and much more power to drive bright white vs black or dark, but think about how much you're staring at the background.. Only on the launcher. Do you stare at the launcher all day? But perhaps if you're reading a book for an extended period it's worth it to set it to white on black, vs black on white. Sometimes you can't control this, such as the browser is (generally) a white background.
I'm no expert, but god I'm tired of hearing nonsense around everything "eating battery".
I see, thanks 4 d advice you all
maybe the good way out is the Kernel flashing.
any recommendation maybe? which kernel are the best?
I don't want to downgrade my 1GHz clock though...
and URL is appreciated
What you think about this, you use some app that close automatically services or not?
It's senseless to use such apps because Android does it by itself. Further it uses more energy and your battery will be low much faster.

Self management. Close apps and services when you are not using them. Such apps that supposedly better manage your battery usage are a drain themselves.
Agree with Liam really .
Big battery drain is constant WIFi searching .

totally true !!!
Any app uses more battery than it is able to save...
There are exceptions to that such as SetCPU or Green Power Premium / JuiceDefender as they do reduce battery consumption, albeit at a cost to functionality / performance.

But I don't think that is the point. We want maximum performance with minimum battery drain
The theme of the original question was app to extend battery life / automatically kill tasks. Utilities such as Advanced Task Killer / SetCPU / Green Power Premium and JuiceDefender spring to mind. It's true of course that Android to a certain point does this itself, but arguably these apps do it better. You cannot have a phone continually running at maximum performance without maximum battery drain.
You have to make a compromise.
Green power and juice defender are the only ones that spring to my mind.

Using Gingerbread without any app killer I get a pretty food battery life (more than 2 days). So I really don't feel the need to use one.

OK trying green power and juice defender I used adv task killer but IMHO has battery drain
I have been using Juice Defender with great success, I am using ultimate version which allows you set when and where to use you wifi/3g/2g etc, with a busy schedule you don't really have time to think about turning things on and off.
I set my evening hours (sleep) to turn off 3g and wifi and come back on again during the day 8am for every 1 hr polling.
This saves a huge amount of battery - easily getting 2 days with a full charge. But of course if you are using it for commuting music/videos/browsing - no software is going to help you.
Beautiful now i have installed the app gratis try it and than if satisfied get the ultimate version
As the display is what consumes the largest part of your battery, and as the SGS has an AMOLED display, you should also try
Screen Filter
or
Total screen control
True, display eats most of the "juice" on SGS... About task killers: i suggest having a task killer to kill tasks when you wish (by choosing so) BUT not by themselves. Let the android do that and you'll see it does it better!
Lastly about 2.3.3 roms: the is a know issue with very heavy battery drain on some cases (it will appear as :android OS on battery stats).. That is a bug of 2.3.3 roms appearing after running some application and games (especially the "heavy" ones). Only know fix so far is rebooting (also you may hear about deleting some system apps by i do not recommend it)!
In case of need the combo of Screen protector and Green power helped me reaching the end of the days.
i use advanced task killer by rechild. autokill frequency every half hour, setting crazy, security medium. i defined exceptions for my updating widgets and gmail and thats it. this way android stops loading all sorts of aps in the background after a while so loads of free ram and stunning battery life. saying android itself does a good job is simply wrong, but i hope android will some day.
Juice Defender
For me, Juice Defender increased the life of my battery in half a day. Now I can easily reach 2 days with medium usage.
Before, It was almost impossible to end second day without charge.
Ok going to try and start a conversation here to get feedback from everyone on what you guys do to get the most out of your battery. I see alot of people always asking what kernal is best for battery life and some people seem to have horrible battery life and some have exceptional battery life. I personally get decent battery life. Nothing super amazing but that comes down to the way I use my phone.
My current battery I'm using - Andida 2000mah battery
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/280843217453...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4497wt_1396
I also have - GTMax 3500mah battery
http://www.amazon.ca/GTMax-Extended-Battery-3500mAh-Microfiber/dp/B006VAP102/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_4
The Andida gives me generally a extra 2-3 hours more over the stock. I had to cycle the battery 4 times before I started seeing any real improvements. If I take these off the charger at 6:30am I can ussually make it to around 10pm without needing to charge.
The GTMax get me through a day (630am - midnight) with around 50% left.
Now keep in mind this is based on my usage habits, and when I'm at work my signal is horrible so it drains a bit harder for the 8 hours I'm at work.
I don't have LTE where I live or work, I do get LTE in areas close by but on a regular day I don't see it. With the bad signal at work I've started to switch to gsm only mode (phone was constantly switching from Edge to 3g/4g and wouldn't provide a stable connection most of the time). This seems to have helped my battery at work.
When I flash a new rom I always give it at least 2 good full battery cycles before judging the battery life on it.
Ok onto some apps. My first foray into getting better battery life started with wanting to control my data. I used Juice Defender to that but I found that having to wait for the data to turn back on was at some times taking way to long and even sometimes I would have to reboot to get it back. Tried a few others and had similar experiences. When it works its nice and I did see some gain from it but at the same time it seemed bloated and slow and I decided I like having my data on and readily available quickly. After some searching I found an awesome app...
Better Battery Stats
Play Store link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en
XDA Forum link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I highly recommend reading up on this app and trying it out. If your seeing a big drain on you battery while the screen is off, it's probably because there is something that is keeping it from going into a deep sleep mode. This won't save you any battery just by installing it but with a little work it can make a pretty good difference.
Ok now this is where I'm looking for suggestions, are there apps that you find specifically run smoother or are lighter than their stock counterparts or rival apps that put less of a strain on the battery?
Instead of the stock messaging app I run Pansi SMS. It gives me a few extra options but I never really used the stock mms on ICS so I can only compare it to Handcent SMS and I think it is definitely lighter and a lil bit more battery friendly. It's not a huge difference but I try and squeeze everything I can w/o giving up functionality.
For a launcher I'm running apex right now, but for a lightweight launcher I'd recommend FTL. Runs really nice and smooth, nothing fancy about it, just fast and light.
Some apps sometimes can just be poorly coded and thus have a bad effect on battery life. Alot of people seem to feel the Facebook app is one such app that suffers from that. The app that gets the most recommendations as a replacement and being a bit easier on the battery is Friendcaster. I tend to agree with that, and would recommend trying it out.
I'd really like to hear about what everyone else does to try and squeeze out the most of their battery. Theres more stuff that I do, such as reducing the amount of things that are synced to only the stuff I actually want, default settings just sync everything and I don't feel I need to sync my contacts on a daily basis as I rarely change them around. So share your tips, experiences good and bad with apps in regards to your battery, and if theres enough feedback I'll try and re-organize this into a bit better structure.

Right here, this is the key. I have data off all the time. I only turn it on when I need to look something up or browse. IMO auto updates really kill the battery and aren't worth leaving your data on all the time. I'm on wifi a lot as well. Currently I'm on DarkRaider and I'm ending the day with around 30-40%, great improvement over stock.
It seems that with every new handset that comes out this is one of the hottest topics but the parameters all always the same with regard to battery life.
The 3 biggest things that drain our batteries are Display Usage, Data Connection & Radio Cell Connection. These are listed in order of current used. Of the 3 we can have some control over the 1st 2. Lower screen brightness and disconnect data when not needed and use wifi when possible. While wifi does use a good amount of current it's not as much as mobile data. The last one, Radio Cell Connection, we have very little control over. It's also the reason we see people having great differences in battery life. The further the phone is from the tower it's connected to the more juice it needs to make a good connection. So other than leaving the phone in airplane mode or planning your life around where towers are, neither of which are very practical, there is not much we can do there.
To get the best all around life from Li-ion batteries do not fully discharge them very often and also don't keep them plugged in after they're fully charged. It's best to recharge them when they get down to 20-30% and unplug them after they're charged. They also don't need to be fully charged every time, they have no memory. If your on the go and can only leave it plugged in for a short period of time that's fine. Also if you have more than one battery and your not going to use the 2nd one for a while don't store it at full charge. drop it down to 50-60% before pulling it out.
I'll update this post when I get home tonight with more info and links. Hope it helps.

I always make sure my auto updates are off. WiFi isn't an option for me when I'm working. How do you manage your data connection? Do you manually turn it on and off or use an app? I never really tried manually turning the mobile data on/off, just found with apps like JD that it sometimes took way too long to establish a connection. I always shut off my wifi when I leave for work. I know with ICS the widget toggles for gps don't work, they take you to the settings to turn it off, is there one for mobile data?

With my 3500mah battery I don't really worry about turning anything off. That thing is great. Made a bumper case for it but I miss having a real case on it so I picked up the 2000mah andida battery so I could get a few more hours on some days. If someone ever made a real case for those big batteries i'd use it all the time.

Try 2x Battery from the store. It will shut off data as soon as the the phone sleeps, it reconnects at screen on after unlock almost instantly. It also allows you to white list apps, like Pandora. The free version only allows 1 app though.

The DarkRaider ROM I am using has a nice extended settings menu in the notification bar with a data toggle. I also have a nice widget from switchpro widgets where I can customize what kinds of things I want to be able to toggle from my homescreen. Currently I have data/wifi/vibrate-silent/gps. Doesn't take long at all when I toggle the data on/off, it's pretty much instant.

I use the 2X Battery app. When the phone goes to sleep, the app turns off the data radio. I can still get calls and text messages. I don't have a need for push notification of e-mail, etc., so this saves me some battery usage. Of course, if e-mail and other app notifications are important, this app will help only if you are willing to wait until you wake up the phone.
Here's what I do. I'm on the stock HTC battery.
I SetCPU screen off to 192/192 ondemand, in call to 810/192 ondemand, and regular use to 810/192 ondemand.
I listen to about 2 hours of music a day, have 3 GMail accounts on autosync, a Facebook account on hourly autosync and HTC Weather on hourly sync. Automatic brightness. Roughly 1.5 hours of cumulative web-browsing, no apps/games used.
I never use WiFi and I don't live in an LTE area.
I typically end the day (19-21 hours unplugged) with ~40% remaining.
Now I am not sure if living in area with LTE is a bless or curse....
I would unplug around 7am everyday, and by the time I get home (around 6pm) I would always in red mode (meaning, it is either 14% or under). Using the Holics-0.6 with the kernel that came with it, battery seems to die fast. Even when I am on the stock ICS before this, seems LTE would just bleed this baby to death....
Reading other comments, might as well start looking for a bigger battery....
It actually seems like I'm getting better battery since LTE came to my town. I'm on dark raider using kozmick's rc1 kernel and it's even better now. Try turning off vibration feedback...I think it's located in the sounds menu in settings. You can also try using automatic brightness or even just setting it to stay at 50% or lower. The screen is a battery hog. There's a stickied thread somewhere on here that has other things you can try too.

Really is a shame that we have to disable or ease everything back so much to get through the day on a battery. Anyhow, I have a Velocity (which comes out of the box with the processor running at 1500) on Dark Raider. Therefore I use SetCPU to throttle the beast back, depending upon the circumstances. It only is allowed to run at 1500 when on charge and down to 400 when battery below 25 percent. I also use 2X Battery to take care of the netowrk and Wi-Fi and have purchased the andida battery for extended life. I also have JD installed, however it is rarely used - reason is that I am in agreeance with "citsong" that it takes too long to establish connections, even causing me general connection issues from time to time. So for around $25 AUD you can get through the day on a battery with moderate use and reasonable performance. I have not tried the extended battery pack, though I will probably get one of those as well...not sure which are the best???
I personally don't like the vibrate response thing, so I turn that off right out of the box, also, auto brightness is another that I set. When I go in the battery tab to see what is bleeding it to death, and most of it would be the display....
Though, vivid seem to have a smaller battery compared to other phones of similar functions and/or size, so that might be the reason I am not really seeing a very good battery life?

My solution was to get a larger battery (2100mAh, the largest one with stock format) and using juice defender to control my Data Connection. I am getting about 60% more using time on a normal usage whan before!
I actually have both Motorola Atrix 2 and HTC Vivid. However, my Atrix 2 would last about two days between charges, which is kind of weird. I have my personal account and company account on that phone (personal is to activate the google stuff), so it eats up data twice as fast, yet it is almost twice as long battery life.
And to update a little bit from my post before, it seems I am getting better battery life now, after 4-5 days of flashing the new ROM, let's hope it is true....or I am just going to go hunt for a bigger battery

Actually, the Samsung Galaxy Note is way bigger than either Atrix or Vivid, so with a bigger body, I would assume that a bigger battery is possible. But if you look at current phones, I rarely see batteries that are above, say, 1800mAh, let alone 2000mAh and above, stock of course.

Hello mates,
battery drain is a big issue so i´m looking up different things to save some battery. does someone of you have experience with Juice Defender especially in addition with some configuration like mine (see above, PA & Kowalski) or similar?
I wonder about maybe kowalski kernel and Juice Defender "dont´t like each other" cause both of em change wifi behaviour and things like that.
I´m also thankfull for general meanings about juice defender if you want to tell me
Thanks in advance
(Yes I used search and yes i looked up some comments on playstore )
For how long do you want your battery to last my friend? With PA and Kowalski kernel my phone can last 3 days rofl.
Remember: A smartphone isn't supposed to last more than 24 hours if its being used.
as long as possible
I´m just trying to get some information weather this combination is usefull or not I know this phone can go for up to 3 days but with whatsapp, facebook messenger and some sound stuff the device goes down if you use it - and thats what I do
My question is simple, does it make any sense to use Juice Defender in addition to pa/kowalski and has someone done this before to give some estimation about it? (percentage compare would be nice, otherwise give me what ever you got )
Idle time is very nice on this build, even without juice defender and i think JD can´t do much about battery drain when fiddling around with the phone all the time, right?
Juice Defender only does things while your screen is off. Basically it turns data off then switches it on periodically for data sync. For me it's a noticeable improvement and worth trying if you don't mind your emails coming in a bit later.

the key to make sure your battery lasts long is making sure the cpu enters deep sleep if the phone is in standyby.
apps and widgets can and will prevent the cpu from entering it most of the time. so yeah the more stuff you install, the more widgets that require sync you use, will lessen batterytime. uninstall stuff you don't really need and you will be fine.
you can also use a tool such as cpuspy - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy - to check how much time the cpu spends in each state.
It is also important to know what is causing the phone to wake up to check betterbatterystats app. Partial Wakelock and Alarms section, you can see what causes the phone to wake up hence using more batteruy.

as long as possible
I´m just trying to get some information weather this combination is usefull or not I know this phone can go for up to 3 days but with whatsapp, facebook messenger and some sound stuff the device goes down if you use it - and thats what I do
My question is simple, does it make any sense to use Juice Defender in addition to pa/kowalski and has someone done this before to give some estimation about it? (percentage compare would be nice, otherwise give me what ever you got )
Idle time is very nice on this build, even without juice defender and i think JD can´t do much about battery drain when fiddling around with the phone all the time, right?

No it doesn't. JD and kowalski are not compatible. I tried to use JD and wierd stuff started to happen. If you are on the latest [email protected] kernel, reduce the wifi transmission power to a level that suits you and try enabling PSP mode (see if it works with your modem).
juice defender is very useless!
i used JD over 1 month. it is really useless, my battery power was the same
I use it to:
-turn 3g off when connected to wifi
-turn off wifi when not connected to any network and turn it on automatically based on location
if you have problems with your battery, try to change the router if you can. I have a router that even if the mobile's mode is PSP, CAM, or otherwise, my battery runs out in less than 8 hours. Using another router, the battery life is about 50 hours with the same usage and programs.
You could also go for a better battery from a third party manufacturer. (Higher mAh-rating).
Personally, I don't use JD anymore. It proved incompatible to most of the roms I use.
