anyone using this app ???? i tried using this today but it seemed to just drain my battery faster, i think it would be a good app if you didn't use your phone much during the day but the constant on and off of data caused more harm then good in my occassion............
I'm using juice defender beta but everyday the efficiency seems to decrease, it's at 2.06x right now, why should I do?

definitely would like to hear some input on this as well. Ive tried combinations of defender plotter and setcpu (with NO overclocking) and I cant see that any of these working with or without make a difference. Plotter all by itself you can just see how fast you battery dropped off and when.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How well is it working outside of that?
By 2.06x, are you really getting 48-50 hours between charges?
it will decrease with more use of your phone, if you dont use your phone much for a day it'll be like 2.xx but if you use it often like i did i constantly had around 1.8. so its mostly about use of your phone
this is correct. depending on settings the more time your screen is on the lower the number will go. This is normal and working as intended.
Well I haven't gotten over 12 hours with it even when it was at 3.xx. I'm running setcpu and autostarts as well. I'm still having battery trouble. At the moment I am trying to see if my battery gets better by turning juice defender off and leaving the plotter on. Any tips?

Hi all,
I installed Juice Defender Ultimate on my E4GT and it told me of course I needed to install the free version as well for it to function. So I did this as well. This left me with a total of 3 icons in my applications.
So i figured I would try and do it the other way around, uninstalled them and installed the free, then the Ultimate after that. Still it leaves me with 3 icons. One for the free version and 2 ultimate icons.
Is there any way to do anything about this? I would rather not have 3 different icons for juice defender ultimate listed in my apps.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
I don't even think you really need juice defender, as were task killers were pre-2.2 days juice defender probably doesn't apply. I easily get 12 hours of real world use out of my phone. Your better off just carrying a spare battery as I think that app isn't as clean as it used to be. Or try Tasker instead
Battery extending apps like Juice Defender and most task killers do more harm than good. With gingerbread and above task killers are not needed as the o/s does a good job of managing applications. the Samsung Epic and Galaxy 2 phones have a task killer built in, its a widget called "Program Monitor". The Evo 3D also had a task killer built in.....
What does Juice Defender do that is harmful? There's no app-killing going on.

I think Juice Defender is pretty awesome. I haven't managed to tweak my settings properly yet, but once I put the "extreme" profile on, I got almost 2 and a half days of moderate browsing, phone calls and a LOT of texts.
@tweeker, I'm not sure how you got 3 icons. I got the free version first and then went to ultimate, so my experience was a bit different. But now I just have the Utlimate icon in my app list. Maybe you can uninstall all of them and then go the route that I took?
Hi guys!
So I use Juice Defender Ultimate to squeeze out that extra juice from our wonderful phone. And up until now everything was fine. But I realize now that because I will be relying on WiFi calling to be able to use my phone at home (and in most other places that I go since I know WiFi uses less battery than network) I will need WiFi to always be active. I was reading my settings in Juice Defender and I can't figure out what setting I need to click in order to always keep wifi active. Any ideas? Is it even worth it to use Juice Defender anymore now that I always need wifi to be on?
Thanks for all the help!
In Juice Defender's control setting there is an "Keep enabled" setting, click on wi-fi to make sure it is always enabled.
Thank you! Is it worth it to use Juice Defender anymore if I use this setting? Will I still see battery enhancements? I was seeing JD reporting 2x battery...I doubt I will see that now...
IMO, Juice Defender is completely unnecessary.
You can set almost every single of the options manually in their respective apps/settings.
What is the point of putting a blanket on your phone that controls how often things update? Just change the settings in the respective apps/settings..
For example, I use LauncherPro Plus.. in my FB widget settings, I have it set to update every five minutes.. why would I put another app on that blocks it to only update every 15 or 30 minutes? That's not "saving" battery, it's resetting your update time interval. If I wanted to do that, I would just set LauncherPro to only update every 15 or 30 minutes..
I can give more examples, but to me the whole thing is pointless. Why would I want a 4G phone that's super fast if I'm going to hobble it to Edge and save AT MOST an hour or two of battery?
Honestly, I get the same or better battery life with my phone the way it is setup without Juice Defender. I've yet to find one reason to use it, and yes, I have the "Ultimate" version.
What I want is a phone that's always fast AND gets great battery life. It's not a magic trick if your turning everything off (Sync, Wifi, 4G) and getting a hour or two more of battery life..
You will still see battery enhancements, but not as much. Wi-fi uses less juice than 4G.
To the above poster, the point of Juice Defender is for it to turn things off when you don't need them. It's also convenient to globally set your syncing. I definitely get way more than a bonus 2 hours of battery life using Juice Defender more like at least 5 hours, and it doesn't really interfere with my daily tasks. I definitely do not need 4G on when my screen is off, and it syncs so I am perfectly fine with that. 4G is a huge battery drainer so I want that off whenever I can.
I'm having an issue with Juice Defender now that even after the screen is off Juice Defender doesn't disable Data because of MMS, and i can't figure out how to make it stop. Has anyone encounter this before?
So i guess no one here had this problem before..... oh well...
I think a lot don't use juice defender, I get over 12 hours without it

I having same issue, and it's killing my battery life.
It was showing before-- Data on (MMS) and kept data connection on.
I just unintalled both Juice Defender and Juice Defender Ultimate and reinstalled Juice Defender free first, then Juice Defender Ultimate and manually adjust settings again and so for it working.
Hope it helps
