How do I get juice defender to be 2x efficiency?
Sent from HTC EVO 4G via xda app
Buy Ultimate Juice
I'm getting 24-36 hours of "my normal use" out of a single charge on CM6.1rc1
I did buy it but I am only getting 1.37x right now and I would like some pointers to help me increase that.

keep the screen off more. seriously. juicedefender's most effective tool is shutting off data connection when screen is off. by default it is set to allow data to connect every 15 min for 1 min. you can change that to just keep data off when screen is off (if that works for you).
I have it on 5 an hour but I really see the effects now, 2.84 at the moment, only lost 4% In 45 mins.

Will calls still come thru if data is off?
Yeah Calls still come through and even text messages

Yes, I think they still come through 2g..but I have it on prefer wifi so when wifi is available it turns off data, I'm on 2.65x right now and 1 minute every 15 minutes. Any other tips?

Don't get too comfortable with seeing that 2.65 up there, it will most likely drop down significantly once it gathers data. Depending on usage, the normal range will be between 1.7 and 1.85 if it's working well.
All I wanted was 2.0 but this is the second day and it's at 2.56x. How long does it generally take to get to the cooling down?(the 1.xx)

Uninstall it and use Autostarts and SetCPU. UltimateJuice is such a piece of trash.
Don't know what auto starts is but I have set cpu, not sure how to use either.

Autostarts changes when apps have permission to start. For example, when you receive a text message, certain apps will automatically start, but with Autostarts you can limit what can open.
So using setcpu and autostart is better on battery life?

For me it is by a mile. You don't have any extra programs running and constantly enabling/disabling things, so as long as you aren't in some dungeon-like area with no reception you should not need to turn off your wifi or mobile network.
I see there was 3 apps, autostarts(obviously not what I'm looking for cause was a car app), autostart killer, and auto start root, which one is the right one?
Sent from HTC EVO 4G via xda app
I'm going to have to disagree completely with TheBiles on UltimateJuice/ JuiceDefender. It works VERY well. I have only ever heard 2 people claim that they didn't like JuiceDefender and one of them was a noob who couldn't figure out the interface. I do agree on AutoStarts and SetCPU though. I use all three and I get very good battery life.
I have JuiceDefender, and I use it on and off.
I have noticed that when receiving a text message or turning on the phone otherwise, it takes *forever* for JuiceDefender's top-bar button to turn from red to green and release the top bar for use, whereas the top bar is immediately usable when JuiceDefender is disabled.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
So what exactly is the app called for the auto start?
It's just called Autostarts. It has a picture of a red car as it's icon. You can find it in the market.
When i go to sleep battery level was 65%but it reduced to zero in night

What apps were running?
Have you tried installing current widget to see what is exactly happening, or how much voltage is going through your phone, even though it's sleeping? (ie, screen off)
I have not tried yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
This happened to me a few times (with almost no apps running) on RC7. Updating to 2.01 seems to have fixed that for me.
If that doesn't help, try using a different kernel and/or a different radio version and see if that works for you (we're reduced to experimentation as nobody has ben able to determine what exactly causes this issue).
I'm well impressed with mine. I went to bed with it fully charged, used it a bit in bed, always play a game and check the forums. Not plugged in at all and woke up this morning and its still fully charged!!
Amazing, since I have yahoo messenger running always. Been using it a lot since I woke up and now on 96% but I know its mainly the screen that uses a lot.
Brilliant ROM tbh
See if this helps:

well it's not really going to save your battery life, it just lets you see when/how the battery is being used up
Yes we can atleast know what apps are eating our battery.

I have RC1 and my better life is terrible. Gotta figure out why.
No matter which ROM i choose wether its 2.3 based or 4.0 based, Calks or Phantom. Even CM9, Team Dirt. I always get crap battery life. ANDROID OS and ANDROID SYSTEM hog the battery!!! Why is this. The only thing that has not changed will i have been flashing all these roms is the Modem. I am currrently running FF18 Modem. Could this be the culprit? Please help guys!
The android os usage in ICS is normal. What do you consider bad battery life?
So many things affect battery life. Low signal will wipe out a battery in no time, synching multiple accounts (email, facebook is notoriously bad...) and software you may have installed. How is the battery drain when the phone is sleeping? Since there really isn't much we can do about battery while you're actually using the phone, the next step is to improve on sleep efficiency and this will help the battery life overall.
Try installing BetterBatteryStats. There is a thread here on XDA you can search for and download and install this app. The best way to use it is to let the phone sleep on battery without using it for a minimum of 2-3 hours, overnight is best. Then view the kernel and partial wakelocks to see if something isn't allowing the phone to sleep properly.
battery battery life?
Couldn't you also use multiple profiles in an OC app to undervolt and underclock the phone when it sleeps? (screen off profile set to 800MHz and screen on 1200MHz) Just a suggestion, hope this helps.
I have to charge my phone twice a day because I am on it all the time. My ave battery life 11hr 47min. Running Badass Battery Monitor.
Turn off auto sync for your Google account on your phone and manually sync it from time to time. Before I did this android was at the top of the list in the battery. Now screen time dominates everything else in usage.

Yes I did this too, it helps a lot
Yes, synching too often is a killer.
Don't forget about the phone radio too: wifi/bluetooth/gps/data/4G all can have a negative impact if left running.
Someone recently posted that at his workplace, he had zero signal and he could barely make it through the day. He discovered turning data off entirely in that scenario saved battery in a huge way.

Uses even less battery to just shut off data manually when you're not using it. It's really not that hard to do.

It just automatically turns data and stuff off instead of doing it manually. I personally don't like using it. If you need that extra battery, this does work

They often drain more battery toggling data on/off constantly than just leaving it on. And of course you get no push notifications when data is off...

I use the screen filter at night when I go to sleep it drains 3-4% battery life in 8 hours

Works well
Hi All,
I have installed the Juice Defender Plus. Since the first day of the installation, noticeable battery life improvement was seen.
Indeed, if u keep your data OFF (this consuming the most power) then...I can say that u do not need Juice Defender.
However, if u prefer an application to manage these settings automatically, instead of manually enabling/disabling data, then I recommend the use of Juice Defender.
Also, the application has a lot of settings that can be customized based on your needs.
I have it for around 6 months and I am still using it. I am stock...no root, no nothing
Hope this helps.

I mostly agree with this.
It really depends on your usage scenario though. If you don't use your phone a lot (or wake it frequently) during the day (and don't mind being 15/30 minutes behind on emails and other notifications), apps like JuiceDefender may potentially save you a bit of juice - if configured reasonably. I used to use JD a lot, and used to argue for it quite passionately. At some point, I stopped (I think I just forgot to restore it after changing ROMs) and I realized that I wasn't really using much more power during the day - and I was able to get real-time push notifications (rather than waiting every 15/30 minutes for JD to allow it). Now I just use Tasker to intelligently manage my device's radios under certain situations and my phone has no trouble making it through the day.
Eh no. It's the same or worse.
Plus I hate how I have to wait for data to reactivate.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
I used to use it and it worked great. Battery life was great but my "smart phone" was not so smart as I was often not notified of any emails or data related content.
I mean you have such a powerful phone and I'm sure that is why you got it... why limit it? just a thought.
I started using a widget for my 3g. When I tried JD on PA sprint it slowed my 3g for some reason. I'm sure I could test it more. Or I could try not to be lazy and use the widget.

Hi everyone,
I got my Nexus 7, so I thought I could ease on the HOX a bit, but I found that something is still running rampant in the backgroundm but I can't find what it is, even using GSam Battery Monitor. Screen has only been on for 25 minutes, and already at 43%!
I used the HOX as mobile hotspot this morning in the train, when I arrived at work, it had 80% left. Rest of the day I only used it for the occasional whatsapp. It's not even closing time for work now, and it's close to 40%, so something is eating the battery, but I can;t find what!
See enclosed screenshots, I would love to hear some advice!
Kernel, but who knows why?
Also, your crappy mobile signal on the way to work when you had no WiFi... It didn't like that much.
yeah I can get into that, but I don't get why, at the last part, the screen isn't turned on, but it the kernel is switched on ALL the time, I guess something must be running rampant in the background. I've just started going to apps and force stopping a lot of things to be sure...
Try using watchdog, it tells you which app which above threshold, gsam never tells u what the kernel was upto. U can also try better battery stats and check kernel wake locks.
ViperX Goodness
Thanks, I hadn't heard of watchdog yet, installed it! I will buy better battery stats when things get really out of hand
