its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.

This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno

Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is

Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot

Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?

Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

Re: juicedefender
I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!

Juicedefender is not in market anymore.

I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.

uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.

Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway

Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?

It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!

[Q] The Number "0" Shown in Spare parts what does this mean??????

In the picture below you will see the number "0" in spare parts under network usage. I have searched the XDA threads and tried google and have found no answer. This "0" never use to be there before and is using a lot of data which is killing my battery. Yes I have always wiped when going to a different rom, I have even tried reinstalling my rom again and fully wiping. The rom I am currently running now is airborne 5.1 with kernel SBC for Netarchy's 4.2.2 More Aggressive CFS SBC-net-4.2.2-more-havs-cfs-v7. I also know the kernel is not a problem because when I reinstalled the rom I did not add any of my apps or nothing and nor did I flash anything else. I just let my Rom load up downloaded spare parts just to see if the "0" was there and it wasnt, but once i rebooted my phone just to make sure it was really gone, I went back into spare parts and it was there again. Now my question to you guys is how do I get rid of this problem?

0 is the process id for stuff running as root. This includes all your system apps, gmail, market, etc

So then u saying that "0" being there is normal? And if it is suppose to be there how come every time i go to it i get a force close ?

I would like to know too, appears to be eating my network when i goto spare parts network usage
I'm going to try to remove all root rights via superuser for the time being. thanks

[Guide] battery fix

Well I was having horrible battery problems and came across a how to on the web and thought I would share this. Hopefully it hasn't been shared already and I apologize if it has. Its a way to wipe battery stats. MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS AT 100% BEFORE DOING THIS
1. Boot into cwm recovery
2. Scroll to advanced
3. Scroll to clear battery stats
4. Reboot phone
5. wait for your battery to fully die before charging it again
And there you go its a pretty simple fix and is good if you have flashed a lot of roms. The guide said not to do it very often tho so I would be cautious but I did it once and now I am getting almost a day and a half with moderate use out of my stock battery! I have seen a lot of complaints about battery life.
Hope this helps let me know your results as I am new here

Wiping battery stats doesn't do anything beneficial - http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer

After doing some research I did see that on androidcentral but can't wiping the stats when your on a new rom improve how your phone reports the battery stats as well?

If on a new ROM, you probably wiped /data, meaning... no more battery stats.

While I'm not sure if wiping the battery stats works or not, I just posted the following in the thread of the ROM I'm currently using since battery life is a big topic there. This is a guide that I came up with after a couple of weeks of analysis and tweaks:
I'm getting at least 48 hours on my battery now, no lie. I've made it a mission over the past couple of weeks to track down all my wakelocks and get rid of all the unnecessary processes that cause those wakelocks.
After 2+ weeks of analysis using a combo of betterbattery stats, badass battery monitor, and the stock battery info, here's a list of what I've done along with running TDJ's Evo3v7 Rom.
DISCLAIMER: These are my findings for my phone and my setup in my location and my typical usage which have worked for me:
-Make sure screen brightness is set to 'Automatic'
-Use Wifi as much as possible Vs data.
-From what I've read Facebook uses a ton of battery (wakelocks) when syncing in the background. I may be the only person on earth that doesn't have a fb account so I don't have to worry about it on my phone, but just keep that in mind.
-Under Accounts and Sync try to funnel as many accounts as you can THROUGH gmail. In your Gmail account sync only what you need when you need it. Do you really need the browser, contacts, web albums, etc synced. Can you live with manually syncing calendar once a day? Keep it to a minimum.
-Disable everything under Settings > Sound > System (the 4 items at the bottom of that list, keytones, touchsounds, screen lock sound, vibrate on screen tap)
-Make sure if you have a weather app that refreshes automatically to only have it refresh to what you need. Some of these refresh every 15min. Really? Just have it refresh manually or on unlock. I've found that to be fine.
-Make sure you're signed out of Latitude after you use it - if you use it. You can't freeze, uninstall etc, without freezing/uninstaling Maps, so make sure you are not signed into Latitude (or any other location service based apps).
-Location, location, location... Under Settings > Location Services uncheck all 3 options... may need a reboot to 'stick' after unchecking (these are sometimes checked by default when first booting up your device from flashing a ROM or you check them not knowing what all they do (I know I did at first). They are helpful when restoring but are a pain on the battery in daily use. This choice is yours as there are other recovery/restore methods but I've found that I don't need these checked at all. (Sometimes even going to Google.com enables the location service and it gets stuck in perpetual wake state, I've found).
-If you don't use Google Talk, simply remove it. Although I've found that 'GTALK_...' still has wake states even with it removed (phone still communicates with Google servers even when the app is removed), it's not near as much as it used to be.
-Freeze the Maps app - if it's feasible. Maps is one app that runs 100% of the time. Take a look in your 'running apps' and see for yourself. I rarely use my maps so I froze it. Since then, location services processes have dropped dramatically as have my wakelocks associated with location. This alone has helped out my battery tons. If I need to use maps, I simply unfreeze it.
-Finally, download and flash this by eugene373: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...30&postcount=1 This has saved me more battery than most of the things listed above combined.

Hmm your link to Eugene's thread didn't work. But thanks for the info. And I guess that does make sense that wiping data would also wipe battery stats. That's why I'm a little confused about half the people say it works and the other half say it does so I figured I'd try it out

While I agree that turning off services or freezing them does help battery life, it kind of ruins the whole smart phone experience. The reason I have a smart phone is for up to date info at a quick glance. I am sure the info you provided will help some though. Thanks for posting.

[Q] How do you stop Cell Broadcast on the phone? - Using too much battery

According to Carat, stopping Cell Broadcast (as pictured) will save 2h 56m of useable battery life on my G3.
Cell Broadcast is something I've never seen on any of my previous android phones, I can't even find an option for it.
How do I stop this app or whatever it is from using up so much of my battery? Even uninstall it if required, I am rooted.

uninstall it or rename it and the issues should be gone you can find it in System/privapp/lgcb.apk/.odex(rename/ delete them both and reboot, do this with a root file explorer)

Did battery life improve?

Huge battery drain

After upgraded to Android 6.0, the battery drain apparently is much higher. Especially while I am sleeping at night, I found the battery might go down to 2-7% from 50%. I have no idea if it is caused by the new Android 6.0 or any new app I installed. Can someone advise me how to ascertain it and fix it. Thanks!

Perhaps you could try the app "Wakelock detector free" to see what applications are causing your trouble.

It's a common issue that's been present since lollipop...
It's probably Google Play services...
Go in Settings/privacy and search for google framework and play services and block them from starting on boot and autostarting.
Next thing you want to do is of course shut down WiFi/bluetooth/NFC or any other connection (just put it in airplane mode).
Another thing you want to do is downloading the Greenify app from the play store and hibernate EVERYTHING but the messaging apps (otherwise you won't receive any message.)

This issue is most of the time caused by fast dormancy.
Just disable it and u will be fine
Go to the hidden menu, type *#546368#*815# (replace 815 with ur model number, so 812 if u have the 812 model etc)
Then go to field test>Modem settings>PDP setting>0 and sellect fast dormancy off.
Reboot phone and you should be fine.
Report back, i'm kinda curious

Dunno what it should be under MM but 2-5% under L for 12 hours is normal. That's only 10% per day.

Do this only after you have determined your network does not support fast dormancy. If it does and you disable it you will get more drain.
fast dormancy only applies to 3G. if you're on other G's and not connected to data it won't be doing anything.

Depends on what your sim settings are. Do you select 2/3/4g ?
In that case if the network signal is weak it will switch to 3g. Now if your 3G network does not support fast dormancy, then disabling it in the hidden menu will help. The problem with hidden menu settings is they dont stick after a reboot. So i suppose you need root to make them permanent.
