yes i use it on my g2 and it does save some battery life. idk how much to be exact but i do see some improvement in the battery life. all it does is turn off ur data when ur screen is off. thats all i noticed different. then when u turn ur phone back on it turns back on ur data. tmobile told me to use it when i had my, mytouch 4g but i never used it till i got my g2..
And on cm7 based roms it can control 2g 3g to save batt too!

Love the app. I've had it since my G1 days and it works wonders on the G2 as well. I've been having troubles with the AOSP helper the past month or so, so I've had to control my 2g/3g manually, but when it works right its even better.
great app. you can set all sorts of power saving features on there. you can set it to connect to 2g/3g at set intervals, get it to connect to a wifi whenever you enter the area you use wifi the most. ive noticed my battery life does quite well with it.
This app is so amazing that I bought the ultimate version. This app is very affective. I recommend using for all devices, especially ones that have roms that use lots of battery life.
i use it with my g2 and it really better my battery life even by default setting.
thanks, one of the best apps which I used!
Love the app, I have ultimate version. Enable wifi in certain places doesn't always work. Btw don't get juice plotter, I liked that app at first but then I was draining my battter in 2 hours just w screen on even thou it has really good concept.
I recently installed the ultimate version & noticed a huge improvement soon after. I'm in love with this app & can't see my self not using it. It's been 17hrs+ and I'm still @ 23% with moderate use.

I have the Ultimate Version. My phone was on battery for about 18hrs with moderate usage today.

Now I wonder what causes such a big difference from regular to ultimate. Maybe just a placebo affect?
I have the free verson of it, and I`m happy.
does it have support for gingerbread now??
Yes, juice defender works marvelous! If you want you phone to last the whole day and your not using it just enable juice defender and it can last as long as 2 days.
Very usefull

works pretty alright for me as well.. i guess the auto turning off of data does help to a certain extent.. if you are using the phone constantly, then i think there would be minimal difference..

Hi All,
When i look into (almost) all roms i see the problem with the battery drain problem.
To bad i do not have the knowledge to find out what to do.
But i think that some smart developers work together to find a solution about this battery drain problem.
So that's why i start this thread so we can discuss this

AdamG's Official Froyo HTC Sense might hold the key to this since it seems to give about 2 days battery performance with the original battery unlike any other rom.

Drain
Tested a lot of roms with froyo and sense. The roms based on 2.06 base are draining relative more then the roms based on 2.04.
Above is not scientificly tested.
Charge to 100% , go to recovery , advanced , wipe battery stats. Enjoy greater baterry life

I had NONE battery drain problems on any of ROMS 2.1 or 2.2, and i did try alot of them.
Maybe theres something wrong with your phone itself (battery).
But definetly try wipe battery stats in recovery.
Since 08:00 morning had WiFi on.. network Data of... and now 12:02 battery is now 90%. DId have play with config the Tasker Tool (Great app).
Tomorrow i will do the test again but then with Network Data on and WiFi off.

I've changed about 8 roms, mostly used 4, but can't say there was a huge difference between them. 2 days of normal use, 1 day of heavy use.
Possibly shadowfrost and DeFrost 2.4 had the best battery life and I had the fastest kernel installed...
I would think that - some isolated problem aside - mostly it has to do with some applications/settings

sometimes my E-Mail application is consuming most of the cpu. It keeps the cpu at max frequency. Even if i try to end the taks with the app "system panel" it wont solve the problem. I have to go into the app and make a manual sync.
i also found out that automatic brightness is using loads of battery. since i set it to static I'm experiencing almost 2 days of battery life with moderate use.
I'm on Defrost 2.1
Hello again everybody,
Yesterday whole day online by WiFi. Using phone couple of hours and my Maildroid Email was active without prevent sleep mode.
Battery was empty after almost 17hours. (+/- 5% every hour)
Today. Wifi on. Maildroid now with prevent sleep mode ON.
Have unplugged the phone 4 hours ago and battery is at 75%
Tomorrow i will test this with Network Data on.. and without prevent sleep mode of Maildroid. And day after with prevent sleep mode.
I know for sure.. the battery will drain very vast for both situations...
BUT Ill let you know
EDIT 26-07-2010: Battery was empty tonight on 1:30.
NOW I do the whole test again but now with network data on and WiFi off
Ive had the opportunity to own a Nexus One at launch and a HTC Desire...I always found Android OS to be the issue whenever i had excessive battery drain.
Ive found my issue to center around the OS 'calling home to sync' (whether 'sync' option is selected or not)Initially, the problem was resolved by deleting all my sync funtions...but that was obviously not practical........ so now I keep my GSM data connection running and I get about 2.5 days on Open Desire (non HTC Sense).
AdamG seems like the guy who knows what hes talking about - His changelogs for OpenDesire actually hint at him having done some battery drain tweaking...whatever he did, he has definitely fixed it
Cheers

I've tried so many ROMS in the past few weeks to try to solve battery drain issues. On some, I could almost see the percentage dropping as I looked at the home screen! I even bought a new battery thinking I might have killed the original.
OpenDesire does seem to be the way forward re this problem if you're intent on the HAVS kernel. OD2.3a gave me almost two days of varied use.
However, and I know this is going backwards, an earlier DeFrost - the 2.1, is brilliant for me. I'm now at two days since unplug and still at an unbelievable 45% - yes, I know, I thought it was broke as well! For now, I'm sticking with this one. Everything I want works and I don't have to carry a spare battery in my pocket when I go out.
Hope this is of some help. Don't despair. You will find the one for you.
Cheers
I don't get why everyone says they have such a issue with battery.
I get about 2.5-4 days of use with DeFrost 2.2 and have done about so since DeFrost 0.9. I've had it up around five days once.
How are you actually using your phones?
It's not a "Froyo" issue.

It's very interesting to me how are YOU using your phone?
Come on, 4 days ? When i talk about 30m to 1h each day and using a phone little bit, i have at least 30-40% down.
u mean u only drain about 25% each day? are u actually using your phone ? wifi, calls, 3g ? or u have a expensive pocket toy just to show to your friends ?
Hey guys, I am an iPhone convert and using HTC one x for nearly two weeks now. I have rooted and installed leedroid Rom and its much better than HTC stock. So the question is u an attaching a screenshot of ny battery. Is this battery usage kind of good or can I improve it. I don't use my phone for calls much so that's why very low usage on calls.
Would really appreciate some feedback.

It is pretty good,you can try to download Easy Battery Saver and Easy Task Killer from the playstore.Also (this helped me verry much) you can download the CoreControl app from the xda forum:

You can set it to 2 cores,it will run perfect,the phone won't heat up anymore if you play games and also saves you'r battery life.

Task killers are pretty useless, android is good at memory management. When you kill the task that android hadn't done already it will be restarted right after by android then killed again by the app thus making an endless loop of killing and restarting processes wasting more battery.
And anything these "battery saver" apps do you can do your self, turning off WiFi ect. Thus removing the need of the app and saving more battery.
@op you really need to post a screen on time as well but yes that seems about normal

If WiFi and 3G are turned OFF, but auto-sync is ON, does it cause any drain on the battery as opposed to if it were OFF?
On WiFi, for a non-rooted HOX, what battery time and screen-on time is considered "good"?
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for improving battery life? I'm currently running MROM and I've seen a lot of people say that it has the best battery life, but I can really only get like 8-9 hours out of regular use.
Are there any settings / tweaks I can do to make it last longer?
Don't use the Facebook app.
Does it actually use the battery that much? Have any alternative suggestions or is it just better to use the mobile site?
The only battery friendly alternative I found was FriendCaster. But since I've switched to using just the mobile site.

I actually have the same problem with you. Ever since switching from MIUI to MROM (which a lot of people say MROM has better battery life), my DInc2 cannot last a whole day anymore. With MIUI I used to get a whole day from 8AM - 10 PM with constant use. Now with MROM, I have to use my backup battery for the first time AND JuiceDefender App so that it can last after 4-5 PM

JuiceDefender is OK if you aren't constantly checking your phone. Pretty sure turning the screen on frequently (which makes JD enable data) would cause faster battery drain. I might toy with it for a little while, but for now I've just uninstalled the official FB app. I'm sure there is some more stuff I could be doing though.
Let me know if you come up with anything.

One thing I noticed that Wifi Sleep Policy in MROM does not work for some reason. Wifi is constantly on even though I choose for it to turn off every time the screen is off. For MIUI, it does work so it did help in the battery life. JD can't turn off wifi either.
Just turn your brightness to minimum. It helps.

Has someone used this app for a while... please share experiences and comparison with other apps like juuce defender.

I just downloaded it to see how it does compare to Juice Defender and DS Battery Saver Pro. I never really like Juice Defender and have been using Battery Saver for a month and it seems to help my battery life.
Once I have been using for a few days I will report back what I think about it. Thanks for the post tho otherwise I wouldn't have found this app.
Just installed this.... will report back when it's done learning and switches to saving mode.
Thanks for the heads up, i'll give this a try.
nice grabbed this up will be checking it out.
Just posted this in the Verizon Galaxy S III forum as well.
Still seems silly to me that we are going to have to have 4 separate discussions for an app that will work the same on each carrier.
I'm not really sure on what the value of these apps are.
Letting my phone do whatever it wants when I'm on wifi and my phone is sitting idle, my phone uses around 1%/hour of battery life.
Some portion of that is all this app could really save then, right?
Why bother if, in exchange, I'm possibly having delayed notifications, apps not updating in the background, etc.?
I've been running this app .today is 3 day (around) have not rebooted or anything using phone as always honestly don't see a difference yet..

doesnt do anything, i get about 12% drain in 9 hours when im sleeping, what it does just turn off wifi for me if im not in range, which is useless, having wifi on doesnt drain much battery at all
Thanks for the link! Will update in a few days with results
can't tell if it's just a placebo effect or not, but i feel like my battery life is a little better after using this app
I haver never once had a random reboot until I installed this today not sure its related just throwing it out there

After using this for the past few days I would say overall it is not that bad of an app. I am really starting to like it. My average battery usage went from 5-6%/hr to 3-4%/hr. I know there are a lot of variables that go into this but I would say it works as well DS Battery Saver. I have also used JD but never really liked that app. I will continue to use this app to see what the long term would be on here but its a good find in my opinion.
If nothing else try it out for a week or so and compare stats. I use Better Battery Stats to get my info from.
Has anyone compared this to the relatively new "Greenify" battery saving app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
Anything that suggests it saves battery makes me nervous. Because the only way to do that is to shut down apps. And when you shut down the app, it may not get updated, or it may open very slowly when you do need it, etc.
I did not like it much... i am guessing that all this app does is change sync frequencies of different apps. To do it it tries to determine your location so that it can turn sync off/on or change sync interval based on your prior usage patterns.
Once it was out of learning mode, i noticed that my s3 battery drain was quicker due to excessive usage of maps by this app.
I uninstalled the app... and have got my battery life back.

The two biggest power users are the screen and the radios. So, manually tune down the screen brightness and sleep timeout. Then install an app like Juice Defender to manage the radios. Done.
Getting 24-36 hours on a charge isn't hard. Getting more than 2.5 hours screen-on time (Android 4.0-4.2) or 4 hours (Android 4.3) is.

i don't use "battery savers". But i do use greenify and an autostart manager. For me,it's normal to have 3.5+hrs of screen. never had less. It's also very important the signal strength.Weak signal means high drain. If you don't use data(3G/4G),it's better to go for 2g network.It consumes alot less battery.But i just can't imagine someone buying this phone(or any other super smartphone) to stay on 2G only and wireless.
