Hey guys,
I am coming from a Samsung GS2, I know ancient right. I used Juice Defender on my GS2 to shut down data when the screen is off and manage by battery life. I will be upgrading to the GS6 this week and I want to be able to manage my battery life as well. What applications are you guys using and what kind of results are you getting?
Thanks in advance.

Package Disabler, Greenify or Servicely would be three recommendations.
All three found on Play Store.

Do apps like JuiceDefender work or are they do they just use more battery?

They work very well. My galaxy nexus lasts much longer with 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.

nope

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

It use to work very well on my phone if you customize it well, I don't use anymore, cause I have a rom that gives me 2 days of battery life, instead of 10 hrs haha

Haha what ROM?

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...

im using SGS3 it works only when you dont use the phone..if you go to sleep if something then it works fine! personally I dont use it it drains more battery for me..
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.

If you just need something to toggle data on/off at set interval to extend battery try 3GBattery:

Well I updated because I was thinking it was going to save some battery life, maybe a bit fast (Lets be honest, I may of had a little chubby thinking it was jelly bean, blah so disappointed)
Anyhoo the 2 days that I have had the update Iv noticed worse battery life and for the first little bit it was LAAAGGYY. I called 2 of my other buddies who advised that they did not notice anything laggy but did notice battery life was way worse.
Anyone else?

Brutal battery life over here.

No complaints thus far. All bloatware removed and unnecessary widgets frozen using TB.

I guess I shoulda been more specific. So before the update I was getting a full 13+ hours with normal use. Now I will be lucky to get 8 hours. I actually had to buy a usb charger...I never owned one before this.
I could try rooting, removing and stopping some programs to see if that helps, it's just weird how I lost that much batt. I wonder what changed.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
use can freeze most apps without root/TB in the app manager in settings. Just click the app force stop and freeze. Some may need to have the update uninstalled before freeze options shows up.
Yeah, my battery life is much worse now, need to charge everyday rather than every 1.5 days..
I do notice lag as well. Need to clear my recent apps much more frequently.
Seriously, for me, the only advantage for updating was enabling the Allshare Cast option..

I go to school with my GNex and occasionally look at the screen at times but I think my battery drain is in called for. I started school at 8 and came home at 4 and I'm at 67%. I even have the 3850nah hyperion battery installed. Right now I'm running xylim ROM nightlies with ask kernel skl 225

After you reflash ROMs, do you use some restore program such as Titanium Backup?

Might be an app keeping it awake
edit: use wakelock detector from market to check
Use wakelock detector from the play store to find out which app is keeping your phone awake.
Since you already have Better Battery Stats installed you could just have a look at the list of partial wake locks (click on 'other').
And you should also check whether or not your 3rd party battery actually has 3850mah. I just did a quick search but there seems to be some scam going on with hyperion batteries (it was a really quick search).
I have noticed there are so many battery saving apps on the Playstore but do you have any reccomendations for a good one

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 installed greenify the other day and hibernate fb. but it was draining my battery when the phone was supposed to be sleeping. i then removed it and its back to normal.
just my 2 cents. xD

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
Ok looks like Greenify will only work with rooted phones so looks like I cannot use it

Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
It's mostly likely a wakelock. One of your apps maybe causing your phone to stay awake. Many apps on the play store just search the word.
Don't know if LG has it but you can also enable developer mode and check process stats to see which apps are running but less detailed than above
