JuiceDefender?

Hi
Anyone using JuiceDefender with your galaxy note? is it worth it to buy this application?
Thanks
Sam

Save your money and skip it like anti virus apps. Many people recommended it so i bought it but i didn't like it at all. Experienced sluggish performance, connections not stable and sometimes connection doesn't even come back on unless i manually turn it back on. Also push mail doesn't work since juicedefender turns off data when not in use and checks every 15, 30 etc intervals (however u set it to check), i don't like that at all. I rather have 100% reliable fast performance connectivity than app that saves few % of battery. Just my 2cents

hmm i heard alot of people telling it saves alot of battery power.. jus wanted to know about the pro version..

Yeah it does save quite an amount. You can configure it to on off Wi-Fi necessarily or learn specific network when you are on the particular area of interest.

How was it? any real battery improvement? any lagging issues?
Sam

My previous phone was pretty crappy and I had pretty crappy service, so I had to make sure I turned wifi, mobile data, etc. off when not using them. On my Note, I don't even bother turning them off because they drain so little. I don't think bothering with Juicedefender is worth the trouble.

Had an old Xperia Arc and Juice Defender worked quite well to last me the day.
Now with the Note, I tried with and without it and I find no significant difference actually.

I agree...
Being new to the android and rooting scene. I downloaded all the recommended apps and one by one uninstalled them including juicedefender...
Whats the point of it stopping data when screen is off? It defeats the purpose of push notifications.
Also I didn't notice any real extension of battery life either

I think it depends how you set up juice defender ultimate. For example on weekdays and working hours I use the "peek" option, letting jd enable connection every 5 minutes. Of course I have than battery drain. With different settings on different times and/or days (up to flight mode at night) I have significant less battery consumption.
It is also important when you use your phone a lot with the screen on, not to let jd automatically turn data on, because then there is obviously no difference at all, with or with out jd running.

There is no use of such apps, I have tried used many such apps from my S2 days and I never felt any difference in performance or battery life..just let it go. Ur using an Android device, and if u use it as a smartphone should be used, u will need to charge in at least once a day.

AutoStarts is doing everything for me.

I had used JuiceDefender for a short spell when on GB. However, BetterBatteryStats soon showed what a battery hog JD was, so I made it disappear from my phone. Forever.

Exactly. Juice defender is crap. Its just for lazy people who can't maintain their settings on their own. and juice defender is obviously always running in the background, using up cpu power and draining battery on its own

It does save little battery and drains at the same time. Huge down side of using this kind of app is no push and data connection is glitchy, sometimes takes awhile to connect back to network or wifi and slower performance. I can still use gnote all day with single charge so I don't find this kind of app useful to me at all. It's really not hard to turn off and on data or wifi on android unlike ios crap where you have to dig in settings.
Save few % battery vs slow performance, hit or miss connection.. I think answer is simple

I used to use it, ultimate version. But I quit using it and still have great battery because of my own setting changes. Juicedefender might be okay for people that don't use their phone much. But, if you are constantly on it, like I am, it is just a memory and battery hog.

Its not worth it, and possibly wastes battery juice rather than saving it.
I've been using it for several weeks now, when i go to sleep my usual percentage is from 70 to 85 % i always turn wifi off as i don't charge it at night. With the app running in the background, when i wake up it goes down to 45% when i do not use it as in its not running in the background I'm the morning the battery percentage only hours down by 5% max to 80%.

Pcworld made an intensiv3 comparison on the effect this apps do. The verdict: keep your money.
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

battery saver is better

Don't bother. I used it on my HTC Flyer and I saw no difference. Migrated it to the SGN and I saw a huge difference after I uninstalled.
The features are limited and just stupid if you ask me. I believe the best battery app would regulste connectivity on demand (ie when I open Dolphin or refresh Facebook it would connect automatically and disconnect immediately afterwards).
If you are looking to extend battery life I suggest self regulating your connectivity (ie use the toggles) and screen brightness.
For even better battery life try and avoid apps that constantly run (eg ones that monitor other apos and processes).
You should get very decent life out of the SGN, and if you don't do what I did and get a spare battery. They are cheaper than you might think and they are an absolute life saver in emergencies or times with heavy usage.
Hope that helped

I found there might be some defective on software or sth else,
some batteries drain so fast, some are not.
for example, mine never last over 24hr even i turn off everything, use only 2G, with no app installed.
and it's instable, sometimes it drains so fast, sometimes not. I don't know why.

Until we get a software update probably will be great battery like the update for one x

I think that is why many of us expect a huge battery improvement after updating to JB ,perhaps the newer system wont be so power hungry.

these screenshots are fun and all but they are totaly irrelevant.
hoe much USE time are people gettng is whats interesting.
so screen on time.
as the goal is no drain with screen off and as long as possible screen on time (this is when you use apps and so on).
my phone can be on for 2 days and still hve 95% juice left but thats kinda irrelevant if i dont touch it.
when i use it non stop my use time averages on 4 hours and 15 minutes so far.
all the people having problems with battery drain must have either bad apps installed of verry poor wifi/3g connections.
as in a good serup with no bad apps and good signal wifi should not drain battery at all if your not using it.
i would so like all people with issue to lend me there phones for 3 days to see if in my stable envourement they have the same issues.
im fairly sure that all these problems are signal and user related and that it has nothing to do with the hardware.

My phone would only give me 2 hours max if the mobile data is on with sync off facebook sync set to 1 hour and hotmail sync set to 1 hours. But if wifi is on throughout the day i would get around 3 hours 15 min average with sync on hotmail set to push and facebook sync set to 1 hour. The battery is really poor as i only use it generally for txting whatsapp and just a bit browsing thats all nothing else. When i watch videos my phone consumes less battery, than normal usage which i do everyday. The highest screen time i have ever got was 4 hours 15 mins thatd because i watched a video for almost like 3 hours thats why. But the battery is still really poor

My android system also consumes a lot of power, its always on top no matter what. I am running on V_10H I disabled some stock apps using titanium backup and used fast demorcacy but the only difference I could see was android wakeups had been much lower thats all and so less power consumption when phone on standby thats all.

this is totally relevant information for regular users.
many people complain about battery drain and that a custom rom is the cause or custom kernel when its available, but what shows that it is not, is when you can place your handheld mobile or tablet alone with wifi set to instant off and you got 3g disabled and it lives for days without loss of battery, you know that it is stable.
when you suddenly lose battery in hours and previous tests showed it was lasting days, you can be sure you got battery infected apps trying to activate your cpu all the time.

i'd like to buy this phone but i'm a bit afaid of the battery drain. people who says it last 2 days with normal use other says that with gaming and browsing lasts 10-15h but a lot says that the battery lasts just 6 h with normal use... can someone who owns this phone and he use it with a middle-intense use (texting,browsing,gaming some time) tell me how much lasts the battery please??

Well, my usage pattern is kinda light, but still...
- took it off the charger at 7:15 am
- 3g data permanently on while I'm not at home (from 7:20 til 18:00 or 19:00)
- wifi on when I'm at home (during the night too, I never switch the phone off)
- sync always on (gmail, whatsapp)
- received a couple short phone calls, let's say 5-6 mins
- received a bunch of emails, say about 15 or something
- some messaging (on whatsapp and gtalk, I don't use sms)
- some facebook, let's say 15 minutes (through mobile website 'cause FB app sucks big time, always had and most probably always will)
- some net browsing looking for a few stuff, let's say 5-10 minutes
- checked a couple forums on tapatalk a couple times
- updated 3 or 4 apps on wifi
- downloaded a 50mb game on wifi and played it for like 10-15 minutes
- ebook reading on moon+ for 1 hour and 30 minutes (maybe even longer, didn't check the exact time)
I connected it to the charger when it reached 12% battery at about midnight THE NEXT DAY (yes, that is around 41 hours without recharging it)
Overall, I can say I'm satisfied, at least for my standard usage...
- Stock v10h firmware, no root (yet).
- Nova launcher since 5 minutes after buying it
- I usually keep brightness quite low unless I'm out in the open under the sun, good thing about this phone's screen is that it's usually very well visible even with only a 20% brightness. If I need to use it in full sunlight, I conveniently placed a full brightness widget on my homescreen, and then back to 20% with one click when I'm done. No autobrightness 'cause I don't like much how it's set to work on this phone (was kinda better on my old i9000, but oh well, 1 click widget and I'm good to go, no sweat)
- Disabled 3 or 4 stock apps (through app settings, no titanium or other stuff)
I noticed that battery usage was kinda higher before disabling those stock apps, I guess one of them was a powermonster of sorts (I suspect the meteo one, but I'm not sure)
- No facebook notifications of course, not for battery-related reasons but just 'cause I simply hate them... but I guess that's nice on the battery too

Performance and Battery in JB.

I was wondering. I looked everywhere and cannot find exact confirmation or Review. The 4.1.2 update is coming soon for the Optimus 4X and I read on 2-3 blogs that it'll apparently improve battery life. Is that true? Has anyone tried that themselves? From what I observe on my 4X that there are a couple of apps running in the system sucking up the battery. Will the future update fix this to extend its life? Sorry if this question was asked before and/or I've made a double post.

I'm an average user... Not much into games but I message a lot and play on YouTube use wifi and phone regularly... This is much improved for me over 10x

One day+?! Holy-- yeah that's surely an improvement to what I'm experiencing now. Is the phone running smoother as these blogs say? Any crashes/freezes or its a perfect charm. I'd just want to know what to expect...
Also, I've noticed that my phone tends to warm up from... almost everything. Is it still happening?
Edit: Sorry about this post... I rushed on asking this question without realizing that there's a Q&A section.. is there anyway to move the post? If not then I'll delete it.

Depends on what you think is important. My phone is my "phone". I expect it to be as such. I can't imagine Web browsing for 3+ hours on my device. My Dell mini is better suited for that task and has better then 3+ hrs battery life. But maybe if your a gamer or a Facebook addict or Web browser cowboy, you find like people that use their device in the same manner as yourself and then compare notes.
Because of my job I'm often on the go and don't have the opportunity to recharge my device at leisure. It's nice to know it can be used as a phone all day and I'll still be able to call my wife at the end of that day. There if definitely improved battery in 20x after a few services are disabled and be r uninstalled. Prior to leaked JB my device required recharge after i got home. This is how I use my device and the condition under what I use it. These are my results but your milage may vary.
Yes the interface experience for me feels silky smooth. No lag, and no crashes or FCs. Best device I've owned to date.

its not specificly the browsing he did that makes the post usefull unlike some people posting battery charts its the fact that he posts screen on time rather then the chart.
the full charts are useless as you cannot see how often the phone was actualy used.
if i link you 2 charts 1 with slow battery drain in standby and no apps used at all (no screen on time) lasting 2 days exactly and 1 with near no battery in standby and 4 hours app use.
they both look the same if you post a battery chart but only the second one shows the potential of the battery life.
the first just shows the phone needed to be charged after 2 days the second showed the phone is capable of lasting 2 days with near no idle battery drain and gives a verry descent 4 hours screen on time.
a phone that is configured correctly and had good 3g/wifi signal and has 3g/wifi managed correctly, has no apps with adds and no apps that drain battery wil berely use any juice in standby leaving almost all the juice for screen on time.
a badlymanaged phone might drain up to 10% an hour because of adds and poort wifi/3g management/signal.
so in a perfect world (which we should aim for) only screen on/inapp time is important as there should be no other power hoggers.

[Q] Battery life... Issue~

Hey guys! About 5 days ago I got my self a new HTC one (Dev, unlocked)~
Info: I'm running the latest Trick-Droid Rom, with Juice Defender(Free: Says i'm getting 112% battery life from it), Greenify, and Nova launcher~ And my case can sometimes run a little hot, something like 1C too at most 3C above no case temps.
Right now i'm getting about 5 hours and 20 minutes of web-browsing time on my battery, and with all these "Optimizing" apps... And the high reviews of the HTC one's Battery, i'm wondering if might have an issue on my hands?
I know I have not given enough info for anyone to give a diagnosis, I just want to know if I need to start digging for leaks!

I'm not using any battery saving apps or anything like that, I'm all stock, I have everything on except finance stocks and stock weather, I do a lot of web browsing, texting, music and that's about it...a few calls here and there. You may just need to give it a few more charge cycles...I don't believe in all those battery "saving" apps or "optimizing" apps.
Get "wake lock detect" and "better battery stats" to determine what's going on.
And my battery life isn't as great as some people's here, but it's pretty awesome to me.

[Q] Play Services Battery Use - what is normal?

On my old Note, when looking at battery usage (and on my nexus 7), "Screen" was always the top listed user of battery life, and below that were apps that i'd been using.
This couldn't be farther from reality on my note 3, however!
Right now:
47% - not charging. 1d 12h 8m 15s on battery
Google Play Services - 59%
Android OS - 9%
Cell Standby 7%
Screen 7%
Granted, I am not using the phone very heavily (obviously), and I have no complaints about the battery usage (I've been skipping nights of charging because-I-can with this, which I could never do before). I just don't understand why it's showing so much battery usage as being due to Google Play Services...
Is this:
a) A problem with my phone that could be remedied (how?), resulting in even more ridiculously long battery life
b) The battery usage numbers are bull****, at least for low overall usage.
c) Normal - Samsung's engineers are miracle workers and managed to make a very efficient screen
d) Normal - Google Play Services is a huge battery hog in general.
If it's d), can anything be done to rein it in? The potential battery life without that drain is so tempting!

So it's the "Use Wireless Networks" option under location services, then? That one can't be checked off without agreeing to the popup. Let's see if that improves anything.

ya haha, just used it slightly more than you- more awake time with screen on.

Okay, this has yielded improvements.
But now Swype+Dragon is listed as taking 53% of battery usage! How?!
Though I'm down to ~1% per hr drain, maybe I shouldn't complain.

53% of how much time? 1 to 3 hours, no worries. Up to 6 or 7 hours up time probably an issue. More and definitely a problem. It is a matter of perspective. 50% of an hour is 30 minutes while 50% of 10 hours is 5 hours. It is hard to tell if there is a problem with these high percentages if they are based on short total time.
Sorry if that is long winded, but hope you get what I am trying to say.
1%/hour is not bad if there is some use time on it. If it was during down time, still not bad but shoot for .5 to .8.

1 day 10 hours is not bad but with only 3 hour and x minutes of screen time, I think you have an issue. I get between 1 day and 15 to 17 hours with 5.5 to 6.5 hours screen time. (edit:There are days I get worse and some days better. Depends on where I am at and what I am doing) Usually with 2 to 3 hours of music. Of course a lot of variables contribute to the difference between our results.
Try doing a battery pull and then keep track of a full charge cycle and see what happens.
Edit 2: just reread your post and saw that swype/dragon shows awake for 1 day 4 hours. Have you tried a different keyboard to see what happens? Is Dragon the speech to text program?

Yeah, for some reason swype now comes bundled with some speech recognition feature I never use.
The problem with a different keyboard is that I am practically paralyzed on my phone without swype I don't know how I used a phone without it. I'd have to set this up for a test when I'm not going to be using the phone much.
It's bad enough to be talking to my phone when i'm making a call, I don't want to be talking to myself when i'm not making a call. I think everyone looks crazy when they're on hands-free barking orders to their phone - where I live, you see a lot of people talking on hands free, but you also see a lot of crazy bums talking to themselves, and you can't tell them apart if they have a hat on, cause it hides the headset, except by judging how expensive their clothes are - and even then, hipster and homeless look pretty similar....

On my old Note, when looking at battery usage (and on my nexus 7), "Screen" was always the top listed user of battery life, and below that were apps that i'd been using.
This couldn't be farther from reality on my note 3, however!
Right now:
47% - not charging. 1d 12h 8m 15s on battery
Google Play Services - 59%
Android OS - 9%
Cell Standby 7%
Screen 7%
Granted, I am not using the phone very heavily (obviously), and I have no complaints about the battery usage (I've been skipping nights of charging because-I-can with this, which I could never do before). I just don't understand why it's showing so much battery usage as being due to Google Play Services...
Is this:
a) A problem with my phone that could be remedied (how?), resulting in even more ridiculously long battery life
b) The battery usage numbers are bull****, at least for low overall usage.
c) Normal - Samsung's engineers are miracle workers and managed to make a very efficient screen
d) Normal - Google Play Services is a huge battery hog in general.
If it's d), can anything be done to rein it in? The potential battery life without that drain is so tempting!

I'm sorry but rooting to me messes this phone up.

Rooted 1st day a method was available and have seen nothing to make me regret it. Same battery life. Same speed. No issues so far.
I think your first device was defective like you had stated in one of your posts. How is your new one holding up?

I disabled some of the permissions (location, read contacts, post notification) from Swype in AppOps.
I don't know if this was what fixed the issue, or whether Swype wound up in a "wakelock" through some one-time event.
Now, I'm seeing the screen at the top of battery usage, like it's supposed to be. Can't yet quantify the improvement in battery life, as I was using the phone more heavily the past 2 days since I charged it.

This phone is psycho. I thought my battery drain was fixed..but nope. Android OS is again killing it. My phone won't sleep. Better battery stats and wakelock detector doesn't tell me why. .in 11 hours my phone has been awake like 6 hours..While being in my pocket.

I read in another post to install GPS Status&Toolbox from playstore. I installed pressed menu button on phone ticked settings..then back arrow..ticked menue again then tools and it took care of the problem. Have no idea why but battery is back ontop

Okay well I couldn't take it anymore and I rooted. New phone is still acting great. No problems so far. Battery life is the same if not a little better. I did go and unchecked the Google Locations crap because Google services was taking batt life up. Looks good so far today.

Sorry theorieoles33 thought that was for me...heres a:beer:
