Juice defender?

Juice defender? Does it work
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It's been downloaded/installed 1,000,000 - 5,000,000 times and it has a 4/5 star rating with 15,838 ratings -- so that's probably a "Yes".
It's free... give it a whirl.
I used to be all "ZOMG I NEED TEH ROMZ N KERNULS WIT TEH BESTEST BATTERY LIEF" but then I realized that I sit on my ass at a desk/computer all day at work, and I'm at home more often than not, so I don't really pay attention to my battery life anymore; I'm rarely not able to charge my phone somehow.
EDIT: A co-worker of mine swears by JuiceDefender. Personally, I just don't see the point.

Yes, it works WONDERS. Also, hit up my sig for a bunch of other things you can do to help your battery life (but I can't stress enough how good Juice Defender is )

It works, but I don't think it works properly on Gingerbread yet.

Juice defender doesn't work to ME, I'd say try the free version before you buy ultimate juice for 5 bucks. I actually think it hurts my battery and I've done many test while at work from 8am-5pm to prove it. I've ran these test on 2.2 and 2.3; it doesn't have 2.3 support yet so it just pisses your phone off.

Thanks guys ill give it a try

I've been using JD beta with UltimateJuice for a while now. According to it, my battery life has doubled. Dunno how true that is but meh.

Sign up for the PRIVATE beta on their website. works well and even on GINGER BREAD!

Agreed. I've been running version 3.4.4 beta (which is currently only available in the private beta) and it's been working great on gingerbread-evo-deck. None of the publicly available releases work on gingerbread yet, though.
The only problem I've had with the gingerbread ROMs I've tried is that they don't have an option to disable always on mobile data. This drained my battery life whenever I spent an extended amount of time in a place that didn't have good reception (like everyday at work), since it was continuously trying to connect to 3g. Juice Defender solved that problem and now I get great battery life regardless of where I go.

what's a good app to manually kill apps? I'm not talking about something like atk but something that you could use to kill 3rd party apps that continue to run in the background. Or am I just asking for something that does not exist?

3.4.7 was just released i use my phone LOTS in the day JD helps me squeeze all the juice i can from my battery lol

[Q][discussion]Cool software features of GS3 ported to our Nexi

A couple of things that I would like to see on custom ROMS
SVoice. First of all I really don't care about SVoice. But I find pretty cool that when alarm rings you can just say "snooze" instead of wondering in the dark where is your phone.
Eye tracking to keep screen on
Direct call
Auto tagging of photos
Is this possible for the ROM developers? I mean the hardware is there, right?

There are a few random threads about some of these features. Basically if what I read in them are correct we will need a port of the new TouchWiz. And it hasn't been released yet so its not available to port.

Eye tracking is going to be such a battery drain, LOL.
Running a big screen and FFC together throughout the day is going to be a killer.

I dont agree with this statement (my 2100mAh extended battery gets me between 2-3 hours screen on time), and dont find it relative to the SGN.

I've seen too many people say they get 2 days on this battery to write the statement off as sarcasm. *hangs head*

I have the official 2000mAh battery for my gsm GNex and I get around 6 hrs screen time on auto brightness.

So, you get twice the battery life I do?

Most of these features are like Face-Unlock. Do you actually use it? I've used it ONCE just to show off to my iPhone friends.

I was afraid for something like that...I don't like AOSPless interfaces but I am open to the new TouchWiz. If I find a ported ROM, I will definitely try it. I guess we have to wait a month+ to see something though.

ROM Comparison Chart (+Bounty)

It would be great if someone took all the current i747 roms out there - there are so many - and made a chart that made comparing features really easy and also showed a few stats, like comscore and maybe something related to battery life.
This could be maintained as new versions came out, etc.
I would like to get a bounty up to get this under way. I'll chip in $25. Anyone else feeling generous?

Personally, I try out every rom as they get updated or released. I'd be willing to do this, and wouldn't even ask for donations. Although I certainly wouldn't deny them ;p

I'll put in 5 for the hell of it

What would be a good way to assess battery? Fully charge, then run everything for 20 minutes and see what PCT the battery is at?

I was thinking more along the lines of a 24 hour run time assessment. It'd be slower but give it more of a real life usage feel ya know
What features should I be comparing exactly? If battery is the only slot I can't complete today, what should make up the other "slots"

I say you have a "24" hour hard usage by running a specific game for example NOVA 3 or any other games thats pretty intense on both single player and multiplayer
Then have an average "business person" style where you only browse webs, email, messaging, social networking, news etc
Then have a "norm" style where you do a bit of both.
This is going to take a while tho lol
EDIT: I would like to help with the comparison for just the fun of it but we gotta make sure we're on the same kernels don't you think and also have more than one person test out each rom and then average the results out for each rom

Adding features that work and do not work would be great as well.

today i started with a fresh flash of AOKP ICS, tm I will move to AOKP JB. I will definatly be just testing based on normal usage, because normal users far out weigh hardxcore gamers ;p however, if someone else would like to get together and help test as a hardxcore gamer get at me on GTALK [email protected]
what would be a good program to utlilize all this data? a spread sheet rofl?

Comscore. Does camera work? Does BT work? Does tethering work?
re: battery. I think the 24 hour test might be inconsistent if you are using the phone to do different things. I'd think a brief sample would work just fine - 20 minutes of watching video with GPS, Wifi, and BT on. But I am not a battery expert.

Every battery test between even "identical" phones will be nigh on useless due to the possible flaws in the manufacture process for the phone and battery.
I would also suggest you ignore any benchmarking scores as they are as close to useless in real life usage as anything you can do on the phone.

New to GS3 need help!!!

I'm a script developer in the android hacking general section of xda. I've got a few super noob question (s).
1.) What are you guys getting for battery life on the stock ROM with no tweaks?
2.) Are there any extended life batteries from Sprint or Samsung?
3.) Is there a root method for MB1?

Third question, yes same as for LJ7

1. Getting very good battery life. In a place with no service and roaming every 2 mins and got 1 day and 5 hours on a single charge.
2. No clue. Sorry
3. Cnexus beat me to it.

For your second question, i dont think there are any extended batteries strictly from Sprint or Samsung. But if you take a look at the Accessories forum, theres a review on a third-party battery called ZeroLemon thats 7000 mAh

That's correct. I don't know of any extended batteries that still have nfc capabilities, and that's the number 1 reason a lot of people don't go for the extended battery route.

1- Battery life is good on the S3 but sometimes settings and apps need to be tweaked. Many threads on this.
2- Yes, go to sprint.com and select shop then accessories. Select the phone and it's listed under Charge & Power. Or go to amazon and get the gorilla gadget extended batt for less then 1/2 cost of Sprint. I personally don't have an extended batt but thought about it, and recently did some research on em. Both options keep nfc fully functional.
3- Easiest method to root MB1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011491

You might even be able to squeeze a little more out of your phone. Go here and freeze apps that you know you don't use.

Original GW v GW3

I'm thinking of upgrading from the original GW to the GW3. I know that the battery specs show that the GW3 has a smaller battery. How is the battery life?
I like the idea of a faster processor and more storage space, plus the software upgrades and more features, just concerned that it will kill the battery.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've been using the gw3 all day with always on display turned on. It's at 73%. Like 12hrs in to the day at this point.
