(Question) juice defender

Does anyone know if juice defender is actually a good app or no.
I use it on my phone but I never keep and data connections on anyway 3g 4g and wifi r always off unless I need to use them and then I turn them off when I'm done.
Since its "job" is kind of already done by me could it be a source of battery drain since its always running andin a way its for no reason.

I know one of our devs randomking doesn't like it, and since his roms are heavily battery life oriented it was enough for me to stop using it

Just think.its another app that wl run.just go to settings and customize that way.task killers waste battery and take up space.to maximize battery,research and try roms and kernels with different settings.im on miui rom,kernel v8,panache radio,and am at 38% battery,so with moderate use,its 38% after 10 hrs.gps off,with sporadic use of wifi.in otherwords,try different setups,but juice defender is up to u.

That's what I was thinking.
So you also think that advance task killer isn't nesessary?
I use my phone a lot for almost everything so I try to keep my battery as high as possble but sometimes after just 3 or 4 hours I could be at 30% or lower.

It is a very useful app, it will disable your radios when the screen is off to preserve battery life.

But I keep everything off already
And I usually have problems with my signal I'm not sure if it could be from it or not but I'm gonna just uninstall it for a whil and see if there's any differences.

Juice defender works well for me. At work I would have to put my phone on the charge at noon just playing mp3s. i get through the hole day now with 40% or better. i stream music for about 7.5 hours of the work day.

I've used Juice Defender since I got my Epic.
Though now that I'm running an EH17 ROM, and frozen DRM services, it's really not necessary for me anymore. Been off the charger for 11 hours with light use and it's still over 50% - on the rom it shipped with I was lucky to get 8 hours before it would shut off (with JD I'd get about 18 hours).

It probably helps you cuz you have internet connection on and it turns it off when your phone is sleep. I keep all my internet connections off all the time so I don't think out does anything in my case.

I'm on eh17 too and I froze drm, sns, and system updates. So far I've been on my phone for an hour and a half and in still at 100% this is great. I installed juice defender last night.

I have been using juice defender for a few weeks and it helps my battery life a lot. It really depends on your usage. I am in roaming areas fairly often where my phone used to search for signal for a long time if I keep it on.

I installed Juice Defender the other day & my phone had issues right away. I unistalled within a couple of hours. However, afterwards I was unable to access my pictures or videos stored on the SD card. I know this app caused the issue because I was looking at some pics right before installing it & could not access them after installing. Luckily I ran accross a post in th PA CM10 thread that gave me the solution. For some reason the Juice Defender app placed a .nomedia file on the root of my SD card that was causing my issue. I deleated that file & the media scanner autmatically started running. Just like that I had pictures again.
I hope this helps anyone that may run across this issue.

It wasn't juice defender... if you have rom manager it was that... I use juice defender and have never had it place a .nomedia anywhere... the app doesn't place files anywhere...

Thanks for the correction.....I assumed that since installing JD was the only thing that had changed in the hour or two that the issue popped up, then that would be the cause.....I have had ROM Manager & GooManager for a while but have had no such issues before....I guess if it becomes an issue then I will have to loose those......I only use them to check for updates & always do manual downloads & installs for the ROM's anyway......
Thanks again & sorry for jumping to conclusions......

Your good... a recent update to rom manager messed some things up... if you check its all over the forums that everybodies media is disappearing... rom manager is to blame... but I believe it has been updated and fixed....

depends on the ROM

I find it depends on the ROM. I was using it for CM9 to help but I find the CM10 pre+kernel+nexus modem combo is doing me wonders. I also stopped using the facebook app, uninstalled facebook mgr as well and use Trillian to connect to FB, AIM, etc. also trying to get rid of this media server.. seems I dont need it. I expect more battery after that (if removing it is possible) because it's #3 on my batt draining list right now.

If you listen to music and such (I believe whether it be streaming or mp3s from the sd card) that's why you see media server so high... same for me, but I'm constantly sitening to music while surfing xda... and still pull off 16+ hours on cm10... I used to use juice defender, but found if your gonna turn of data and such, it saves more battery if you can remember to do it yourself instead of having an app use resources to do so.........

I used to use apps like JD or advanced task killer to kill background processes and turn stuff off until I found out how Android handles programs in the background so I became less concerned.
If you're having issues with massive drain on battery life, make sure its not because of weak cell phone reception. If you're in an area with little to no signal your phone will use up extra juice to try to attain a connection so it'll drain your battery like 50% faster. Also make sure you have things you don't use turned off... like BT, GPS, WIFI, 4G anything thats optional.
Also consider the battery and whether or not it needs replacement. I got a defective battery and didn't know it until I had the ability to compare my phone to 4 other Epic 4g phones.

Do you feel it really increases battery time?

I am currently trying out Juice Defender free on the standard preset for my unmodded Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately I am not thinking that I am going to continue with it.
So far it has crashed my phone to reboot (first time that has happened) and when not using my 4g it turns it off but it takes forever for it to come back on once I want to use the phone and it gets pretty frustrating having a useless phone for about 5-8 minutes everytime I pick it up.
I hope you have better luck than I am having.

Strange. It's never done any of that on mine. I'm on HSPDA+ though.
As for whether if makes a difference I'd definitely have to say a big yes. But it all depends on how you use your phone.

Ultimate working nicely here. Syncs every 15 min like it should. Screen is eating 60-70% so it makes only a small difference.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I bought ultimate, and found it to be a bit of a hog. I then turned off all the extra stuff and went back to the basic setting - the same as the free version, and noticed very little difference.
I think it might help you if you're one of those people who accidentally leaves radios on, or don't have high signal most places you go. For me a UV kernel made the only real difference.

It works well but not saving as much battery as it did on Gingerbread. Default Android idle-time battery management seems to have got much better.

This. I see a nice increase in battery life while I'm not using it, but if I have it on a lot (which I usually do) the battery gets drained pretty quickly.
I keep my phone on CDMA mode most of the time, unless I need to download something or want to watch a movie, then I switch to CDMA/LTE. I'm still not sure how much it helps though, as I've only had the phone for a little over a week.

For me, JD Ultimate works wonders. Especially when I'm at work and not playing with the phone too often and having only 2 signal bars, JD enables radio every 30 mins to allow apps to sync. It also manages my brightness automatically, which results in screen usually taking less than 50% of battery.
In general it helps me a lot, like it did on SGS2. My night schedule uses airplane mode and I only loose 2-3% over night.
I would have to remember about too many things if not using JD, so for me well worth it.

It does, i never used beta and JD controls my brightness. Remember there is a bug related to manual apk install where you cant tap install. I still use JD for brightness, just disable it in quick menu when manually installing apps then reenabling right away.

Thank you for your answer.
When JD is managining brightness, if the phone is asleep, when waking it up with the power button the screen comes full brightness and then settles to a lower level, which is quite annoying. Do you see this happening too?

That is totally weird, cause mine seems to wake up high and only then lower the brightness. I wonder if it's ROM related, although I'm on stock kernel 4.0.3.

Beacuse, believe it or not, it provides functions that some people find useful. Same goes for LightFlow, if you like the white-only color led notification of pure android, then you don't need this app either. If you prefer more colors/choices, then you do.

I purchased JD Ultimate yesterday so I can't really comment on how well it is improving my battery life. I will say that I am having issues going back to LTE when the screen is unlocked (Using the network mode setting). The phone keeps going to WCDMA instead of LTE. However, I noticed that since I have been using JD Beta 3.8.8, version 3.8.9 has come out and has addressed a few of my issues. The configure apps now works without crashing JD. I still don't know if the LTE is functioning incorrectly as I haven't had time away from my computer (I have no Wi-Fi at my hotel and must tether).
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the phone going to WCDMA mode after the phone wakes up? Also, what version of JD are you using?

Post your battery stats.My Media Scanner keeps running on my two 3gs phones.

My phone was getting hot because my Media Server(Media Scanner) process was eating anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of my cpu and battery.
My numerous attempts to disable it were unsuccessful,i deleted over 80 apk files and it was still running,lol.
I did a a temporary fix by placing .nomedia file at the root of my sdcard,and guess what?Its still fckn running!
I gave up and thought that it must be just on my phone,guess what?I just got brand new GS3 for my girl and same thing is happening on her GS3 and she is running stock and never been rooted.
Im trying to disable this Media Scanner from running because from what i read on the internet there is no permanent fix,its ics issue.
Im asking people to take screenshots of this process like i did and post them.Because im sure that there are others out there that have this problem that are not even aware of it,and it contributes to bad battery life and phone getting hot.
Post you screenshots so i can write Google to fix this annoying problem,thanks.
You can take a screenshot by pressing and holding power button and home button simultaneously.

Just checked my phone and the 42 minutes of stayawake time listed on mediaserver correlates to the amount of time I listened to podcasts today. My phone is sitting at 74 % battery left after 8h17m on. That's in a crappy coverage area. No issues with mediaserver here. Running Stock ICS, rooted, stock battery, I've done nothing to kill or freeze any apps.
On the other hand, I don't use the stock media players. I use Poweramp for music and BeyondPod for podcasts. They both seem to use Mediascanner for a backend.

i have Allshare, Media Hub, and Maps, constantly running and i don't even use it and GPS, etc.. are all off.
to me, Android manages apps poorly, yet i've read app management is good for apps that are idle.. if it's so good why is battery life so poor. the problem is they make apps launch faster by having them "saved" in background but to me that still use resources.. I rather the apps take a second of two to load (by killing them when not used) rather than constantly chewing battery by having stuff cached/background running. despite the CPU going into "deep sleep" it manages to chew 7-10% battery life overnight just sitting idle. the only solution is to root and hack all the $#*s out.
i hate to compare WebOS with Andriod but on my Webos tablet it can stay on for a week or two with a full charge (with wifi on) it barely uses any battery when idle.

No,there is only a temporary solution.Just google "ICS Madia Scanner" and you will find that people are having problem with this on just about every phone.
Media Scanner(Media Server service) should only use 2-4% of your battery-thats normal.But if its using 10% or 20% thats not normal and your phone will get hot.
Mrdia Scanner should not be running at all,it doesnt run at all on my Epic 4G and Epic Touch.It should only run fot a minute or two when you reboot the phone or add/delete files.Dont take my word for it just google the issue.
It has something to do with ics not liking certain media files so it keeps scanning them over and over.

Just use 7zip and remove every app you dont use then flash your custom rom.I have GS2 that is not used as a phone so i deleted even phone and mms apk files and turned it into Galaxy S Media Player.

PowerAmp uses its own media scanner so it should not be running at all.Its a good player but i like Neutron better due to 64bit sound.

Spotify/Pandora stuttering

For some annoying reason every time I play Spotify or Pandora the music starts skipping gently free frequently. I have WiFi on so it shouldn't be the reception.
I have been monitoring the RAM usage when it happens but everything seems normal to me.
I wonder if it is an app running deep down or something.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue?
What is your RAM usage when you are running the above mentioned?
Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Not to sure. I do use Pandora One with the Unlimited skip feature. I do notice sometimes that the app may hang for a little longer than usual when the next song is trying to stream but thats just an annoyance problem. Ram usage is about the same sometimes goes up to 890 with pandora playing.

Thanks for the reply but I decided to reflash so the problem went away.
A few apps are suspects as I started having problems after installing them sort of around the same time:
1. GN2 camera and gallery
2. Changing the bootanimation.
3. Installing ROM Toolbox Pro.
Not sure which of those, if any, could be the cause of the stuttering.

Battery consumption while Browsing/Gaming/Deep Sleep

As the title states I want to know what are the values in mA/h or %/h you get while doing some stuffs and what ROM/Kernel/Settings are you using. I will appreciate any information provided. I know there are many threads about battery consumption but no data for real comparison.

I often get around 30% usage per hour while gaming on Modern Combat 4 online. General use like browsing often consumes 8-15% per hour. For idle time I get on average 0.3-0.8%h and lower on airplane mode.
Hope that helps.
P.S. these aren't guesses, but measured rates using Battery Monitor Widget.

Thank you very much. I also use this app for measuring consumption and lately I see some strange numbers. About 17%/h while browsing and 1-3%/h in Deep Sleep mode with nothing running in background and 2G mode. Also in gaming I see 20-40%/h depending the game.

I also get strange values, but perhaps that's related to the fact that the app updates it's values every 10 minutes as a default. Maybe increasing the frequency will improve accuracy at the expense of some battery. For heavy gaming, it's possible that heat will increase battery usage as well.
I find the best calculated results are when I'm doing something for at least an hour and then see what values the app gives.

Have you tried better battery stats to see of you have any excess wake locks or alarms?

Can you post a screenshot of your Settings -> Application Manager -> Running screen?
I often find apps running that don't produce wake locks, but I don't want running in the background anyways... Tune In Radio has been one... Google maps is another (and is responsible for a lot of battery drain when running for no good reason). I froze google maps with titanium backup and my battery improved quite a bit as wake locks reduced significantly.

Here is the screenshot.
EDIT: After taking this screenshot I lost 2% (in 9 minutes) just browsing through phone. Screen brightness around 1/4 of the bar and BMW is reporting 15%/h loss.

Looks like you're on a custom rom. Have you been able to compare your usage to others with the same rom?
Also, of you don't use svoice, consider disabling it. We're there any more apps running under the svoice app in that list?

Yes, keyboard and clock. The custom ROM is tweaked for better battery consumption and the stats is not comparable to others users, especially the numbers getting in Deep Sleep and browsing.

Here's my list after I've trimmed it down.
There are still several "optional apps" which I don't actually need, but they serve a purpose and I'm not concerned about their battery consumption.

You don't have the MAPServiceSamsung I have. Any idea what is this about?

I froze that in titanium. It's related to bluetooth messaging... like sms or something, but since I only use my bt headset for voice and listening to music, it hasn't ever been a problem disabling it.

I'll froze it then as I use BT only for connect to a headset.
