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.
Which is the best Task manger? Should be good enough not to drain the battery in short time.
Thanks.

From what I read you dont need to use them I myself have never, just make sure you kill any games you play (if you do) they eat battery.
Task killers are bad because Android is designed to kill them when it needs to. The thing that drains the battery the most is apps running in the background, the screen brightness and if you CPU is being maxed out constantly.

No killing as multitasking is excellent on android; just make sure you press home instead of simply switching the screen off, apparently it leaves an application in the foreground.
The so called task killers are the stupidest apps evar made.

Yeah, don't bother.
Best way to save battery is to use a static wallpaper (not live wallpaper), turn off notifications for apps such as Facebook, Twitter etc. and only use WiFi/mobile network when you actually need it.

You don't have to disable internet connection when not needed as most of the kernels can easily get you in ~30hrs range with some tweaks regardless of it.

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.

Just install greenify. I have tried plenty before I had Note II, they've had little effect and I often had issues with many of them. If needed use power saving mode + greenify. Why, are you getting crappy battery life?
If your rooted install Redpill Kernel no need of any apps ,
Again for Greenify you need root but this is also suggested app ,
If your not rooted , You could try Juice Defender Ultimate from Playstore.
I'm not actually the battery life on the Note II is very good probably one of the best out there on a mobile phone, was just enquiring

Yes just use greenify and maybe fast dormancy toggle for disable it. It was the 2 best thing for a rooted device i done.

All these apps are a bit useless to be honest. The most important thing is just to set your brightness manually, enable/disable all the functionalities like GPS/W-FI/BlueTooth etc only when needed. Also setting your mail-account to sync once in the 2/3 hours, instead of 15 minutes helps alot also. If you are rooted, you could also remove some Samsung/Android Apps that basically do nothing apart from using battery.
A app to close the processes of application will help also. But if you want to try a battery-save app. JuiceDefender Ultimite for Rooted Users, GreenPower Premium for non-rooters.
Greenify.
You won't need anything else.

What does juice defender except turning off the data when screen is off ? If it's only that you can also do it manually.
Greenify is useful for lot of user and app which use data or process even if you disable synchro like facebook.

I was so lazy to say this. Good thing. Thanks!
Well another point of these Battery-Saving apps. They could make your phone unstable. You can set manually the sync times for Facebook, E-mail , Weather Apps etc. Greenify works pretty good. It is basically a program to put the processes on the background on hold. When you use that application , it restores fast the proces (where it was). Handy for FB etc yes. Although sometimes you can see a small delay (hick-up) when you open a app that was Greenified.

If i have 2g on, i barely lose battery when the phone is in deep sleep. when i leave the phone at nite and wake up in the morning i lose like 1% or 2% max. but with greenify every time i was leaving the phone in deep sleep, i was losing like 2% per hour.
i will try uninstall greenify

Hey Everyone,
Just recently I have been having the battery on my HTC One X Drain from 100% from when I go into work to being dead by 3pm.
I realize this is something that is asked very frequently so I am sorry for reposting but I am not that familiar with how to read into battery monitoring programs and what I should change on my phone. Currently I have been keeping my WiFi and data off and the only thing I do is the occasional text at work and it is still draining that fast.
I have downloaded GSam Battery Monitor, Smart WIFi Toggler and Juice Defender but it doesn't seem to be making a change. I can upload screen shots but I am not sure what you would all need to see to help me fix the problem. I have only had the phone for about a month.
Thanks,
Patrick

Nope the phone is stock. I have never done anything like that with a phone before but more than willing to learn. The way its working right now is ridiculous.
If u intend to stay stock.. then you should once try factory reset fully.. or if you want to go the unlocking way which is risky but equally rewarding go the this link:
