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.
As much as I love my GS3, the battery life is pitiful, lately. Whenever I kill RAM, its always like "50-something applications killed" and I suspect this drains my battery. I go to app manager, and see tons of apps I have to force stop. The phone, while better than the Atrix and Photon I had, should have better battery life. Are there any task killer apps, which work like the Motorola built in one? Those were great. And I want to be connected always to the internet, I barely use wifi anyway except to download/update apps. Thats why I don't do "Juice Defender." Or anyone know if Jelly Bean will improve things?
Android is designed to keep apps stored in memory. killing them constantly is not how it was designed. I consistently got a full day of use out of my SG3 on stock rom with nothing managing the apps or juice defender. I actually got worse performance with JD on this device and my tablet but it did help my captivate.
all that said, I am now running intergalactic and the battery seems very good. Lots of good battery reports there. I do use auto killer memory to tweak the androind memory settings but it is not a task killer. I had over 2 hours of screen time and well over an hour of talk today.

I understand but on Motorola phones, I could set some apps, like games to b killed (after 2 mins), but leave others. That's what I wanna do on my gs3: why do games I haven't played in hours have an option to "force stop?"

If it is doesn't have an option to "force stop", it means it is NOT running, even in background, and has no background process associated with it. It has been prefetched and placed in memory, so it is readily available when you want it.
It takes the same amount of energy to hold something unused in ram as it does to hold nothing.

have you tried a program like Better Battery stats to determine if you have any open wakelocks, etc.? you will find everything that is keeping your phone awake and chewing up your battery.
youmight also want to loook at a program called autostarts which you can prevent apps from opening on their own when certain system actions/conditions occur

I had been getting some higher battery drain with JB than I was with ICS, both were on rooted stock ATT roms. Early on I had posted that it was about the same as ICS, but after more and more use, I was starting to find that it really wasn't. I was consuming about 5-8% per hour idle and 10+ while actually using it. The idle bothered me the most because, obviously, using a phone will drain the battery
Two things have stood out as the high consumers: Media Scanner and poor signal.
To address the media scan drain, there have been suggestions to change CWM settings to backup as .tar rather than default .dup. This ONLY works if you re-do each nandroid that was a .dup as a .tar, delete the .dup backups, and clear the unused backup data through CWM. This removes the blobs folder files which will be in the thousands.
To address the poor signal drain, I flashed the UCLH9 modem (see modems thread in the development forum). Better Battery Stats is not showing any drain caused by poor signal, and this is also reflected by actual usage, the signal is simply... better.
Consumption is marginally higher than on ICS but not nearly as high as I was experiencing. If this has already been covered, my apologies for eating up server space...
Could you alternatively put a .nomedia file into the clockworkmod folder on the device? Would that prevent it from scanning that folder?
Well I'm bone stock and not rooted, I have no backups and the media is eating my battery like mad since the update. I've killed the process several times but it starts back up on its own. The only way I know to fix it will require root.

There is a rogue app in the stock TW that is doing it. I have seen it in every 4.1.2 port. Run a de-bloat and it will go away.

I have all the att and Samsung bloat frozen via TiBu.
Trust me, something is there. I never had the chance to figure out exactly which app it was though. I have a feeling that it may have something to do with a Samsung app.
I would suggest using OS Monitor from the Play Store. Make it show all system processes and see if you can dig deeper into it.
Edit: Also, here is my humble opinion too. People keep wanting new and better features. Well, that always comes at a cost. Just remember that. The iPhone boys are learning that the hard way too.

I agree with that sentiment... I'm considering reverting back to ICS but the smoothness of jelly beans is too enticing.
after making these changes yesterday I got a 40% battery consumption over 9 hours with average use which IMHO is plenty.
Solution is to reboot the phone OR unmount by going into settings, storage and unmount the USB there instead of from the notification bar. I think this solution works but have not tried it myself.
rebooting whenever the os gets out of hand, or unmounting the SD card, is not a viable option IMHO.
my post was directed toward root users who have cwm installed and are experiencing the media drain because of the blob files. the modem change I tried because all the reliable jelly bean ports seem to use the H9 modem. a weak mobile signal is detrimental to battery life, as is a weak or intermittent WiFi signal.
believe me, on my rooted phone, these two changes made a real and noticeable improvement in battery life in JB. I've gone half the day today on ICS and half the day on JB. battery consumption is now within the range I had on ICS.
one the one hand, I believe that some increase in consumption is due to the "omg I has the jelly beans and I'm going to use the bejeasus out of my phone" factor. I also believe that a good number of fixes and patches are simply a placebo effect. BUT, my phone had been getting hot and tearing up the battery due to signal searching in areas where it had been fine prior to the update. heck, we have an att tower within 100 ft if my office, I typically pull 69-70mbps at work. on the k3 modem I was regularly dropping data or losing LTE. not anymore.
Un mounting then re mounting seems to have worked for me the process can now be killed!

I used the CWM flashable zip from the thread in development. I did the typical cache/dalvik cache wipe first.
the last4 hours the phone was on my nightstand unplugged doinga sleep drain test. 0.3% per hour.
Ok I have found something running on my SGS3 that wasn't running all the time before and now its open constantly. I need to know if anyone knows if this one is safe to FC and then disable. Any help would be appreciated. I mean heck I wake up in the morning and this is running and I definitely am not using maps in my sleep.LOL anyways anyone know?

I think I'm going to do a factory reset soon. Pretty sure that these drains are caused by some leftovers from ICS...
So my father recently got the GN2, but he's really disliking the battery drain compared to his old iPhone 4. He said that he could finish the day with about 70% battery leftover, whereas, Note leaves him with around 30-40%. I checked his battery usage and there's about 12-17% coming from Polaris 4.0. I already disabled it, but for some reason, it's still draining his battery. Is there anything I can do to improve his overall battery life as well as stop Polaris from being used?

Stock app, unfortunately. I have no intention of rooting it since I haven't done that in a long time and I'm just not confident with messing around with someone else's phone.
Also, I know it's a problem specific to mine since other people don't root there's and they don't have this problem.
Does anyone else know a possible issue?
Try going in and force stopping the app. I noticed apps will continue to run after disabled on occasion. Then reboot and see if it fires up again. That should stop the battery drain. N2 gets great battery life.
Does your father use the app? If not go to settings/application manager select polaris. You should see a disable or uninstall updates button. If it is the updates one, select it then go back in and hit disable button after it is done. This will remove the app from the system but not the app file itself. Will keep it from ever running again until you decide to enable it again. No root needed.

Yeah, I already disabled it. I checked again today and it didn't seem to be draining battery life.
After around 12 hours of use, he only has around 60-65% left. He doesn't use the phone as much as some other people, so I'm surprised it drains as much as it does.
I'd say that's about right on stock with everything running. you could always disable everything he doesn't use and see if that helps. Also check for wake locks. I disabled fast dormancy and saw a major improvement on wake locks. Not sure if that's possible without root, but worth looking in to.

Root, install Better Battery Stats, find the culprit. If uninstalling Polaris doesn't help, it could be something else.
S-Pen detection, motion settings, smart-stay, etc are all drainers. Disable them if he doesn't use them.
Location services drain too. Try installing Autostarts and disable unnecessary startups. I get a good 2-2.5 days out of the phone with ~5+ hours of screen time after doing the above.

Good point on the S-Pen features. I disabled some. His active battery usage is quite good, but he says the standby is terrible.
I know this horse has been beat to death, I'm just hoping I can get maybe one bit of info that will help me resolve this issue before I just swap out to another phone. I really don't want to, but I'm just so sick of being chained to a charging cord all day. My phone should be able to hold a charge for at least 1 day, I don't even use it that much!
So with my little tirade out of the way, let me give you the facts I've got a Samsung Galaxy S II/SPH-D710, and the battery just drains down so fast, and the phone's barely 6 months old. I've downloaded numerous process monitoring apps, designed to see what's going on, and they all point at WiFi being the culprit. The phone never hits deep sleep because the wireless is keeping it awake. Sure enough if I turn WiFi off and I go 3G/4G all day my battery is fine. Problem is I can't get to that next level and find out what program or process is causing the WiFi to be on all the time. Even more frustrating, every time there's an upgrade like FI27 or FL24 which I'm on now, the battery works fine for a day or two. Then something kicks in and destroys the battery. My thought is it's got to be an app, I just don't know which one.
So before I kick this piece of **** out the window, I was hoping someone could please help me figure out what app/process is the cause of my battery drain.
Get DS Battery Saver. It will force all of your stuff off when you turn off the screen so that it will go into deep sleep.

Get a new battery?
Apps, batteries, ics vodoo it's a host of things that can solve your battery drain issue. Being that your phone is 6 months old I have to rule out the battery. The fact that your on ics is going to be main culprit, stock ics was not the best at managing battery use. There's something revving the crap out of your Wi-Fi, while Wi-Fi is on even while your screen is off there are processes going on in the background that are using Wi-Fi to send receive, update, sync, you name it and all you need to do is pinpoint these processes.
Some apps in the play store can help, but some of these apps can consume battery also, so it's best to delete it after troubleshooting.
If your phone is working properly and your not a social media junkie while it sleeps it should not be using any battery at all, just enough to keep your processor awake.
I keep notifications are sync off on my phone, while I'm out and about I'll check email or do a quick sync if I want to check for some incoming whatever. Most of the time I want info on my terms, not every minute with chimes beeps or lights flashing.
If you use google maps disable background location reporting, location services just use "location and search " disable Wi-Fi and GPS usage for location services.
This is a start, but I recommend Jb ga10 stock/rooted to give your phone a stable os.
I run stock/rooted Jb de-bloated with minimal apps, no games (all the games I like are on my Galaxy Tab 10.1) I use my phone for calls........... navigation and media player while driving. I get 16 to 20 hrs on a charge.

I get about 20 hours on the Vanilla RootBox JB ROM. YMMV. I also had terrible battery life on the stock ROM and every other one I tried. This is the first ROM that's bested 10 hours. Again, YMMV.
what rom are you on? tw? cm?
Have you used Better Battery Stats? Or the JB release candidate GB08?
Not to raise the dead, I've just been busy, but this is still an issue for me. I upgraded to JB GB27, and I love the GUI, it’s such a step up from ICS. But I’m still getting **** for battery life. Yes if I use DS Battery Saver it works and I get good battery life. However all those programs cause flaky restart issues. The phone will just restart for no reason. More importantly it’s not getting at the root of the problem.
IRL I’m a computer tech and I can’t just let this go, as previously stated I’m tired of being shackled to the phone charger. I’ve swapped in a new battery, it’s not the battery. I even turned on the setting “Keep WiFi On > Only when plugged in”. That did improve the battery a little, but I still can’t make it through the day without being charged. I’m on the phone maybe combined 30min of phone calls, 30 min checking email, and an hour or so of miscellaneous watching video etc. I know heavy users that are on their phones all day, or let their kids watch Disney movies all night. I’m not that guy, I’ve had numerous cell phones and never have I had one that couldn’t hold a charge all day.
I will be diligent in monitoring this thread, please give me your troubleshooting tips and I’ll report back with the results.

Ive noticed no better or worse battery between being rooted/custom rom and stock not rooted. However my phone gets about 16 hours on average. My friend has an epic as well and gets only 10 hours. I feel as though it depends on the user and apps. Facebook is a silent killer. As is any app that uses backround. Best setup ive had so far is billgeryans Quattro Rom with ds and greenify. I pulled a whopping 25 hour minimal use before charge and 13 hour heavy use day.....

With titanium backup. You can also install greenify. It puts your apps in hibernation when your screen is off. So basically it's like freezing and unfreezing. Tbh I think it's better using greenify.

so my 2 cents:
1) get a second battery and charger.
2) betterbatterystats to identify "bad" apps and either get rid of them or deal with them.
3) "autostarts" app to stop crap from auto starting on boot that you don't need running as a service.
4) dim screen! huge huge savings. keep it dim enough to use the phone.
Battery issues well I have a solution that won't solve but greatly helps. It's called greenify. It puts all running apps in hibernate mode. It's not like a task killer that just screws things up. U can choose what u want to hibernate and all that jazzy stuff. It's worth a shot. All in all if you want a bada$$ battery efficient rom go with wcx stock rooted rom. It's simply amazing. Hope I was at help

Check out greenify if you're rooted. It removes all currently unused apps and processes from memory, essentially putting them into deep sleep. That combined with ds battery saver and watching your wake locks will drastically improve battery life:beer:

With titanium backup. You can also install greenify. It puts your apps in hibernation when your screen is off. So basically it's like freezing and unfreezing. Tbh I think it's better using greenify.

Okay so does Greenify do this freeze automatically, the interface is a little clumsy. I appreciate all the help guys.
