Been trying to find an App for changing settings automatically mostly based on events and location.
I used "Llama" and "Settings Profiles" but they don't seem to work correctly with JB.
Tried other apps too, most of them simply unable to change Bluetooth, WiFi or GPS among other issues...
I'm trying to avoid Tasker App or any other battery drainer App...
I use NFC tags but I also need some automatic functions triggered by events such as Bluetooth connection or Battery status.
Can anyone recommend such an app ?

Try locale. You can find it on play!

Yup locale is good
Llama have a jelly bean compatible version on their site, I use it everyday!

Have been using Automate it Pro for a while. Minimal battery drain. Not too sophisticated, but all those events (NFC, location, battery etc) u wanted are there.

Tasker drains battery? This is news. It must be something you set that is constantly pooling GPS.
I use it all day for location stuff and its not even on the list.
Edit: to be able to modify GPS etc. Check out secure settings.

Try Easy Profile Pro, IMHO the best app for auto settings based on events.
I use Tasker without any problems along with NFC Task Launcher. Don't know about battery drain because the app only launches tasks when using NFC tag. Did a post showing how I set up my Nexus 4 with Tasker. www.darrenrichie.co.uk
Hopefully you may get some ideas from it.

I have been noticing a battery drain lately and after running a battery monitor I have noticed Maps have been sucking me dry. I believe it may have something to do with Google now location cards telling me how long to work.

Don't think so I never set it up

If you think it's Google Now, you can always disable Google Now and see if you see any difference

I had the same problem crop up recently as well. Quite unfortunate....
I disabled the Traffic cards on Google Now.... seems to help... but what an inconvenient fix...
Check settings/Location settings in Maps. It's more likely latitude than you think.
Make sure there's no tick against 'report location from this device', 'enable location sharing', and 'enable location history'. If these were checked, they're more likely to be your culprit than Google Now
I make sure to check latitude fairly often. All my settings are unchecked.
Recently I have been having something, I am not sure what drain lots of battery with leaving no trace that I can see for wakelocking... but it IS keeping my phone awake.
Also I don't even use maps and it eats up a ton of battery wth.
Set your wifi to turn off when your screen is off.
WiFi settings > menu button> advanced> keep wifi on > never
That should help some.
Also, what is your screen on time?

Screen on time is pretty low, switched it to keep wifi > only if plugged in.. so at night it saves data.

That should work too. The only other way to figure out what is taking all your battery is to scour Better battery stats for rogue wake locks and such. I un installed all my user apps and am reinstalling as I use them so that I don't have a ton of extra stuff running in the background eating all my battery.

Also for note: I am on LTE because I am at school.. some of the building have really bad connection/ 1 or 2 bars LTE.
If I knew how to turn off LTE I probably would...
Also why is maps so high I don't use it.

I find LTE chews up battery. To turn it off should be settings/more settings/ mobile networks/ network mode. And then choose the one under LTE. Saves lots of battery. Also might want to disabled GPS. I looks like it is on according to pics.

Uninstall the update. The new version keeps phone awake. Uninstall it and uncheck the box in Google play to update maps.

In your app drawer tap and hold maps then drag it down to info. There should be an option to Uninstall update.

Only fix is to downgrade. Or wait for Google to patch with an update.

I uninstalled the gmaps updates and the resaults are good. I didn't thing the change would be this big haha. Google needs to fix the issue.
Edit: By the way is there a way to fix cell standby?

try wifiopti from market
it will not open automatically according to location but it will scan for 3 second after u switch on ur phone screen
if no availbe network it will turent off again
location based app will eat your battery more and not varey reliable
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You could try Llama. It scans the cells around you in a fixed period of time, determining where you are. It works if you stay in an environment where you the people around you do not change much. Like work or school. It can do many actions and IMO its very useful.
Some of my settings are:
*Home
-Turn on Wi-Fi for 5 minutes and turn of if not connected
-Change to Sound Mode
-After 11pm:
#Turn Wifi off
#Change to vibrate mode
I hope this helped you

Yes, use it now (Ulitmate) I have found nothing wrong personally. Mine's set for Data on with screen on, Data off screen off.. I don't have a schedule set or anything (i'm always off and on the phone anyway) does increase the battery life a bit.. Download, try it for a bit.. see what you think overall.
I did use it before, just the light version. it was indeed a battery extender. But now I am using ON(X).

Nope. IMO, battery saving apps like Juice defender burn more battery than they claim to save.

Juice defender WILL help. I get about 24hrs to a charge. It simply disables data/location/wifi when not in use and can be customized to run different ways for different apps
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III
Hope this helps. It's fully customizable and it does wonders. U can train it to learn your wifi and after a while, never touch the toggle again. Use it for games so they don't go online and pick up those annoying ads (if your unrooted). And u can schedule when the net comes on to get emails and so forth when your not touching you phone.

Been using Ultimate from the beginning and if set up correctly is the difference between night and day for battery life. It works very well with no problems whatsoever on my end.
+1 When setup properly it can save a lot of juice. Or turn data off when not needed it will save a little more than using JD. But I rather have JD running so things are seamless. For Streaming audio like Spotify I find setting for enable/screen off works the best.

Be honest and tell people you have an extended battery.
i got a small issue with JD ultimate:
i set it quite correctly i think, but then, it prevents datas from coming to my phone, even when they're enabled.
let me explain better:
i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.
so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.
i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.
then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
anyone could help me on this one?
Like 30% of my battery for the third day in a row is Maps, yet I haven't opened maps once. I restart everyday and it happens again. I assume it has to be the gps, but i dont know of any app that is using it, either.
Touchdown uses about the same amount of battery, so I'm wondering if it has some gps feature running I don't know about? How do I figure out what the problem is?

try this, go to your app manager, locate your map(gps) etc.. and wipe cache.
If you turn off your location access i think it might help.
Using anything like Google now ?
