Is there something I can do to turn off data while my phone is in sleep mode then when I turn it on the data connection is restored or maybe a lock screen widget where I can manually toggle data on/off.
I tried Juice Defender but it seemed to drain my battery by 11% in 30 minutes! Since I uninstalled it the battery seems to be better without it.
I use Data enabler
Try "Green Power" from the market. Top results & very light!
Widetlocker + Widgetsoid?

I had my tab fully charged at 6am this morning, and now it is on 69%. I have been browsing the internet for an hour or two. Is this drain normal?
Yes its normal you have set your wifi policy to not to disconnect. If you want your battery not to drain fast go to settings than screen and check mark on Auto adjust screen power. Plus set the brightness to auto. Now change your wifi disconnect policy to disconnect when screen turns off. I had the same problem but after doing these changes the problem is solved. Please hit the thanks meter if I have helped you.
Hey, at times, I have noticed that when I go to check my battery status, the "awake" part shows as a completely solid bar. That means there are lots of applications running in the background zapping my battery power. I have tried using task killers to stop those applications, but it still shows my phone being awake all the time, even though I have had my screen off for most of it. I think I read somewhere that when the phone has the screen off for a while, it would put itself in idle mode, shutting down other applications to save battery, that that never happens to me. I press the power button and the screen turns off, but that is the only battery saving I am doing with that. Is there any way I can put the phone into a sleep like state when I want? I do not want to turn my phone off all the time as I obviously need to use it, but I just do not want that much battery loss when I have the screen off. Thanks in advance for your help!
install betterbatterystats and bad ass battery monitor and find the app that sucks battery. disable or uninstall that app.
I noticed that with Power Saver turned on, when I woke up my phone, the wifi was off and it took about a full 5 seconds for it to turn on.
That is a long lag time, isn't it?
With Power Saver turned off, the wifi stays on. I just turned it off, so I don't know how this will affect my battery usage.
But my battery usage has been reasonably good so far, I usually go two days between charges. I've got Battery Widget Reborn installed, set up so that it automatically puts phone in airplane mode overnight. I've disabled the bloatware, twitter, etc.
How is wifi acting for other folks, if you have Power Saver turned on? How long does it take for your wifi to come back on?
Thx, Vicki
My 3G data packet data is switched on always. This shows a remaining balance notification of my data after a period of time automatically. This notification stays on my screen even after my screen goes to sleep until OK is pressed. This takes up a lot of charge at night.
Is there any way to close it automatically or at least a timeout setting so that it closes on its own ???
Hello,
I have Juice Defender for managing battery life and it toggles of Wifi and bluetooth when screen is off to save battery. I created a Tasker profile than checks if the phone is connected to a trusted wifi and if so to disable the pin protection on the lock screen. However, since Juice defender turns off wifi Tasker frequently turns on the pin protection on the lock screen and only once I enter the pin and enter the main screen does Juice Defender turn on wifi defeating tasker's purpose. Does anyone know as to how battery does toggling wifi save? Juice Defender usually reports upto 70-100% savings which is a lot. Is there a Tasker profile that will recognize that it is near a wifi rather than connected to it when the screen is switched on and disable the lock screen?
