Can anybody show the proper way to use juice defender while using the seidio 3500mah battery

I don't think you need juice defender with that battery but are you using a custom kernel or rom?

Buy UltimateJuice! to improve it accordingly the Pro version of JuiceDefender shows improvement for me, I get x1.90 the battery life I get and needed with this.
I currently use a 3500mah battery with UltimateJuice! installed.
Helps me quite a bit, but with the big battery I have is given me x1.47 increase in battery life rather than my old battery that came with Sprint HTC EVO, That was increased and perkier if you get my drift saying that x1.90 was at its peak for battery live. I've recorded my hours kinda from my head remembering it, don't have any pictures, but I can tell you that with the normal battery, I get roughly 15 hours hardtime battery life using UltimateJuice! before also, on the new battery 3500mah, I have my phone uncharged for 1 hr and it's at 93% battery life lol, but it's the same build up in competition wise, I would say go for UltimateJuice! if you can.
Ok can you show me how to apply and how to save send me a picture of how your using it

Sure, just download it / buy it from the market (Pro Version) and click on the program in your phone, give it root permissions (yes), Click on "Enable" and the program itself should help your battery life in that way.

He's not rooted so he can't give it root permission. With the 3500 I don't even think he needs juicedefender just use the stock #17 kernel it's pretty decent with battery life I and screen off is great so i think stock #17 the 3500 bat is a great combo but if you really want to get better slightly better battery root your phone, get setcpu, download net cfs kernel probably one with smartass and set setcpu to smartass and your battery should last you more than a day maybe two depending on how you use it. but i'm a heavy heave user i get about 12-15 hours of use with the stock evo battery,
So I've flashed over to incredibly RE-engineered and I heard about the great battery life and speed. I sure did have a more noticeable speed improvement but my battery life hasn't gotten any better. Any reasons why this might be? And for some reason I can't load any videos off hulu either. Anyone have these similar problems?

Everyone's battery life is different because everyone uses their phone differently. One person may get great battery life because they don't do much with the phone, and someone else will try the same, but they do a lot of streaming, web browsing, etc and have horrible battery life. It's all trial and error until YOU find the combination that works well for YOU.
And the hulu problem I believe there is a fix for it in the thread. Search the thread for Hulu and you should be able to find it. (I am not sure of this because I don't use the rom, but I believe I read something about it when I tried it out.)
Battery life if tough to compare due to reasons above. When I was syncing a corporate email account via active sync I was getting 9-10 hours o this rom. I am no longer using active sync and right now am at 15 hrs 37 minutes since unplugged at 62%. Awake time is about 5 hours on this charge. This is with stock battery.
Exchange active sync is a hog.
I use my phone pretty often and Im usually texting and browsing on the net. But my battery life is maybe 6 or 7 hours? I haven't really gone all the way down to empty but that seems about right. Is that decent?

That's not quite good. On my stock battery I'm getting around 15-25 depending on use. Maybe check your settings for battery hogs?
I'm using chads kernel, have sync on every hour for weather and my friend stream tied accounts.no gps on though.

I'm not sure what's wrong with my phone. My battery usage says that most of my battery is being used by cell standby and the android system. Should I reflash the rom and see if that helps? I want incredible battery life too this battery life is pretty much the same as a stock rom which is why I flashed in the first place : more battery life!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'm not a power user but I get better battery life with this ROM. Yeah, maybe you should wipe and re-install the ROM. I would then not install any apps and see what your battery life is like. Disable auto-syncing too. Maybe you have an app sucking the battery down.
Is there an app that i can download to monitor my battery usage? I know you can check it through the "About Systems " menu but I almost don't trust it.

Running a faster rom like re engineered, if battery life is super important, you can use setcpu to underclock slightly at all times, and lot at screen off. It comes with a lou's kernel, which he doesn't recommend using setcpu with, but I've always had great luck with king klix kernals, which also undervolt.

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!
Sent from my HTC Vision
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.

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
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
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..
At first my girlfriend had her Nexus S updated to ics and immediately we noticed a huge difference in how long her battery lasted and she is the furthest thing from a heavy user.
So when I heard that ics ws being released for our phone my first thought was i hope that what she experienced won't be what i do as we have a better phone right?
Well I am sad to say on a stock but rooted rom I experience the same lack of battery life as her.
Now I am no beginner to Android and have changed all sorts of settings available and nothing syncs on its own and when I unplug my phone from charging in the morning I will need to plug my phone in at night before bed as my phone will be completely dead.
I have to say I am very disappointed in the battery life of thr the stock rom and hope some good kernels make it out to help.

Have you tried to find out which app/process is draining your battery? Better Battery Stats can help you identify what is using up your battery.
I had a big keep awake problem when i first installed stock ICS on my T989D. I did a full wipe of the phone and formatted my internal SD card (after backing things up of course), reinstall the same stock ICS and everything works great now. Battery life is about the same as before (stock GB w/ Synergy kernel), which is about 30 hours with moderate use.
Try CM 9. I get almost 2 days of battery life.

Though I am now on AOKP, I had great battery life on stock ICS as well. But, everything is subjective. How many email accounts are being synced? Do you have Facebook / Twitter / G+ updating every hour? Do you have news feeds continuously updating as well?
I have to agree with the poster above. Get Better Battery Stats and find the culprit draining your battery and work from there.
biggest thing draining the battery is the screen.
you can literally watch the battery usage drop 10-15% in a period of 10 to 15 minutes which is absurd when its set to low.

Wait for kernel development. Its underway as we speak. It will make a significant difference.
Some battery saving tips:
- use juicedefender and set it to aggressive mode.
- use romtoolbox or other programs to underclock cpu frequency.
- also try using telus stock ics. Very good battery life.

I have a brand new T989D (I'm new to Android, former iPhone user) and got the ICS upgrade the day I got it (9 days ago). Battery life is terrible, I'm lucky if I get 10 hours of moderate usage. The phone also tends to run very, very hot. Sometimes apps freeze and all I can do is either wait or, in some cases, remove the battery to reboot.
I'm open to any tips that will get this fixed! I haven't rooted yet (no time). I think I will try those wipe tools and reflash the stock ICS ROM.
First post btw - glad to have joined XDA!
Rooting takes 5 seconds. Follow the sticky. Use odin.
Run a custom rom.

Thanks, although a lot of howtos seem to be for GB since ICS only landed 9 days ago. Also there's a lot of conflicting information, so I prefer this one:

Stock, not rooted, my battery life is great. Something is using your battery up, and flashing some exotic kernel isn't going to change that. The stock kernel works fine. You'll want to find the root of the problem. Keep a real-time (or 1-5s interval anyway) eye on the phone's current (mA) usage, and when it's high for no apparent reason, you'll know that whatever is sucking your battery is doing it right then. That should help you characterize the problem. I've noticed when my WCDMA/GSM radio signal sucks, so does the battery life, so I either turn off the radio or switch to GSM only when I'm in that area. If your display is what's eating your battery, well a kernel can't stop that. Turn the brightness down, leave it on auto-brightness, or just deal with it if you need the display on all the time. But if tweaking and modding makes you happy, by all means...

I have the same complaint. The "screen" battery usage is just unacceptable, especially compared to GB. My phone has been draining from a full charge for ~4.5 hours and my screen usage is 70% and battery is down to 65% with hardly 10 minutes of screen-on time.
I use an app called autostarts and you basically enable/disable apps that start running when certain events happen (phone startup, wifi being turned on, incoming call/sms/mms, other apps turning on, etc.). Just make sure you do your homework so you dont disable something critical. Hopefully this app works on ICS. You'll be surprised what different events make certain apps turn on automaticly. Screen, data/wifi, gps and bluetooth are the biggest battery drainers. No matter what Rom you are on if you don't keep control of those items your battery will drain fast. Keep ur screen on auto, let it go off @ 15 seconds ( you have to be pretty used to your phone for that setting not to annoy you), turn OFF your data or wifi when not in use. With bluetooth and gps...well u know that when you use them your battery is gonna drain faster than normal...just keep that in mind. Its all pretty much common sense.
I'm not going to tell you how much battery time I get cuz its nonsense. There are times my phone lasts till the next day and others Im charging it by sundown. Then again Im still on Juggs n Darkside kernel and Im gonna wait a bit still b4 I make the switch. Also don't go by what other people say on battery life cuz if you might not get the same results on that ROM. Everyone of our devices is unique and acts different. Everyone user uses their phone different. You can't define "light, moderate, heavy" use so don't go by that either.

After upgrading to ICS stock unrooted battery life sucked (5-6hrs). I did the whole remove battery, factory reset and still sucked.
Broke down rooted (still stock), downloaded batterycalibration from play, followed the instructions. Easily get over 24hrs before having to charge again. and when I say easily, I mean I still have over 25% left.

Bingo. Vastly different battery life between ROM's is generally BS. Every once in a great while one of these threads has merit but typically someone saying ROM X had "Killer" battery life is clueless and drinking the koolaid. Then a placebo effect takes place. And definitely someones "Heavy" use is subjective. If someone says they get a day out of an android phone they are not heavy users by my definition. It doesn't happen with heavy use. Perhaps the Razr Maxx or another phone with a very large battery but I've had 5 Android phones. If I get past noon it's because I am not using my phone that much and forget about a full day. It's never happened in the 4 years I've used google OS phones. Never.

Yes exactly, I hate when people post screenshots of their phone getting 24+ hours, I'm there thinking "well obviously they don't use their phone alot". There is no way in hell i could get 24 hours no matter what rom/kernal I use. Im just happy when my phone can make it till I get home at night

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..

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.
