this is a great battery management app. definitely worth checking out if you've got some drain issues going on.
juicedefender
WHen I was on the stock rogers Froyo rom, I used juice defender to help me improve battery life. It really worked. Usually I unplug at 6:30am and go to work, and get through the day by 5pm, I'm down to about 55% battery. Without Juice defender I am usually down to about 35% battery. This is with moderate use.
My main use with juice defender is simply disabling data when the screen turns off and auto enabling it every 30mins for syncing of emails. I work in an office so I have access to internet all the time.
Now, many custom roms claimed to have improved battery life, and some people saying that juice defender actually drains more battery.
I am using Paragon RC6 right now with juice defender getting roughly about the same battery life as it was before on stock froyo with juice defender.
As anyone experienced having more battery without juice defender on these custom roms? I have no overclocking or undervolting
Your post was way to long to read. Short answer no. Juice defender doesn't do crap its like a placebo effect that you want your money back aftwards.

I didn't like juice defender at all. I do use juice plotter though.
I like both juice plotter and juice defender, but I think the benefits of juice defender are going to be more or less evident depending on how you use your phone. Like you, I like to have all data connections turned off when the screen is off unless something specific is happening, like a download. That way, I see very little battery drainage from data connections during long meetings/classes, whatever. However, if you are frequently turning your screen on and off, it may not show much benefit.
There may be other ways, beyond juice defender, to accomplish this
I don't think your post was too long to read because it gives details about how you use your device.
You could probably use juice plotter over a few days and compare days with and without juice defender to see if you are gaining much.
I used juice plotter to graph the battery with and without juice defender.
The battery was better without it.

my experience is all task managers do more harm than good, especially considering the improved memory management used in 2.2 and further in 2.2.1 and will see even more in 2.3. ON Top of that even better memory management (sometimes worse) is in the custom kernels based on those stock kernels.
NO JUICE FOR YOU!!!
I'm seriously outgunned in this thread. I guess I ought to work a few days without juicedefender myself.
Juiceplotter is a must-have app if u care about battery life. Whether juicedefender helps or not depends on so many factors that the only way to tell is to try it on ur own.

I find value in jd for turning off all data (wifi and 3g) when the screen sleeps and to put the phone in airplane mode during the middle of the night. Juice plotter seem to confirm that I get much less battery drain when I do so. If I knew of another way of doing this with android natively, I would do so.
I find many of the other features of jd less impactful on battery life.

I only use Juice Plotter, but that by itself saved me a ton of battery life. It helped me to confirm that the positional sensor that triggers auto-rotate was eating up my battery. i.e., while on my desk it, but idle, it drank less juice than when in my pocket and idle...by like a factor of 50%.
So I've turned off auto-rotate entirely and that may well keep me from needing Juice Defender at all. We'll see.
I have been using JD with my phone and it does seem to help. I have Serendipity 5.12 and Paragon. The only thing I don't like about it is that it sometimes doesn't reactivate 3G when I wake the screen. If there were another way to turn the wifi and 3G off when the screen turns off then I would take that.
I am using Cog4.1.1 and use JD with Ultimate Juice. It definitely helps my phone when the screen is off. If you are actively using your phone, JD does nothing for you.

I have tested it. I used it and used without it. The difference doesn't seem much for me. When it puts it to flight mode when I'm at night, it actually drains more battery than when I disabled juice defender and put on flight mode. I'm guessing running the service drains some battery. However, if you're running some data intensive widgets that seem to always update, then JD does help as it only activates data for a short period of time to sync. I am not the case. I'm only syncing 3 email accounts and calendar. A different alternative app that uses lesser CPU and memory may be more suitable for those that have similar usage like me.
Hey guys, I have a weird issue. Regardless what ROM I am on, my battery percentage will randomly drop like 10%
Randomly, I will be using it, I'll be at 70%, then it will just drop to 60%, normal use. Been happening a lot more recently.
Is this a sign of a battery going bad? I've had this phone roughly a year (Stock battery).
Thanks!
What does your battery life look like? A battery's performance WILL degrade over time, but if your battery life is still good enough for you, I don't see any harm in continuing to use it.
You could get an app like Battery Monitor Widget. It will keep track of usage and calculate the health of the battery. You can also try wiping battery stats (the app can do that too), it could just be the phone mis-reading the battery...
Hello
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S5 (Bell Canada). I am having huge issues with the battery. As a result, I rooted my device and got Xposed for the reason of DS Battery Saver.
My question is, how come my battery usage is being plagued by Cell Standby, which in 3 hours drained my battery 8% while I slept. Another is, what is the difference between DS Battery Saver and DS Battery Saver Pro? Does the free version still kill background apps when the screen is turned off and does it turn off 3g/LTE/wifi as well?
Thank you
Josh

As far as I know cell standby draining too much battery is a consequence of bad signal, you can try changing to 2G only and see it helps. I don't know the difference between DS Battery Saver Free / Pro, but Greenify can hibernate background apps when the screen is off.
Which one is the best other than Greenify and some custom rom's with built in Power Saving Mode and Ultra Power Saving Mode?
I'm looking for one that'll automatically switch on when my battery reaches a certain precentage, any suggestions, could I implement this with Tasker and Power Saving Mode/UPSM?
battery doctor is a good battery saving app

LoL!! I've had that 1 installed for the longest time.
Just recently discovered Deep Sleep Battery Saver, it's nice it has a Xposed Module, today I found out about eStar Battery Saver it has the kill app's like Battery Doctor and then Battery Tasker and then there's this that also has a power saving mode EaseUS Cool Phone Battery
