Hi there.
i need a help. i try a lot of battery saver app. none of them worked well for me. can u guyz suggest me for a better battery saver app.
Thanks
In my opinion, battery saver apps are more trouble then they are worth. Basically all they do is turn your data off. You can do that yourself.
Honestly battery saver app are more harmful than helpful. When I tried couple of them, they don't help much at all except the standby time. Just check if they phone goes into deep sleep or not. Switch wifi to off in standby. Turn off the sync if you don't need. Those basic method should help you out. There are a lot of good tips on this forum but if you must use battery saver app, juice defender is your best bet with some right setting.

ive had my xv6800 for about two weeks now and im still trying to get my power settings tweaked right. granted, i ahve been playing with it alot and probably doing some things that arent conducive to long battery life. One problem is that i dont really know what to expect, so if everyone could please post what they do, any tips/tricks to increase the battery life that get out of it.
also if anyone does think they get good battery life out of theres, what they try to avoid doing on it, that gives you such good life.
thanks

The brightness of the screen is a factor. Try lowering it if possible.
Disable active sync, bluetooth, wifi, and beam when not needed.
Using the GPS drains the battery quick. ( results vary )
Push email also assists with battery drain.
Put your phone on standby when not in use.
Also the extensive use of PIE and Windows Media Player also assists with the drain of battery.
Last if you have poor signal strength this can also be a factor for battery drainage.
There are others out there but these are some that I encountered and learned live with.
There is a battery hack out there that can help you with your battery life. I don't know from the top of my head but search for a registry battery hack.

I think [email protected]$ hit the nail on the head. Everythng stated is a sure fire way to drain your battery quicker. I just got my Mogul and have been playing with it quite a bit even though its pretty much the same thing as my Apache but none the less all those things will drain your battery. I have this thing going on 2 days with very little battery left with minimal use of phone options.
I had previously not had data, so i kept BT always on, never went past 80% with texting and using some programs throughout the day. Now with data, for the last 2 days, wow, down to 20% both days. I turned off BT to see if that can save a little and will turn down the screen a little (was on 100%).
Anyone care to share there setup for JD on there Gnote? Usually dont do any task.managers or battery savers at all but been having sub-par battery life with the beast so figure i would buy JD and try it out. Just want to know some.

Plus first time JD user so thanks in advance!

I had juice defender on my note and removed it it ruins push notifications face book words with friends email and so on. if you toggle mobile data that would be the only reason to use it only if you have poor service where you usually are. just go through your apps and set everything to communicate at least every hour or longer. It doesn't extend any life unless you cripple everyday functionality. It could actually drain more life because if data is disabled and email or an app goes to fetch data its gonna spend a bunch trying to sync draining more battery then if you just had synced it. i noticed words with friends is set to sync every 5 mins by default and that's no good. Just take time and sort your app usage out and youll be your own juice defender. Juice defender use to say its getting me 1.75 more battery then i removed it and my usage was the same but battery and functionality was better. Just my experience.
If you still wanna try use advanced tab change night mode to off pretty much it.read through every setting. http://www.juicedefender.com/overview/

Does JuiceDefender Ultimate actually helps to reduce battery? As I'm using Miracle V4 and play games abit and the battery drains
No. Save your money. It messed up my phone and took a lot of energy for itself. Search for battery tutorial instead. There are few apps which help u to analyse which apps consume most batterylife. Or buy new battery for 7 €

not really. its for lazy people who constantly forgot to turn off bluetooth, wifi etc. all what it does can be done manually.
some say it actually uses more battery as it closes cached (not running) apps which are then forced to reload when called - consuming more CPU - Hence - More battery!

Yep i confirm that. And if not setup properly it causes problems e.g not waking up data connection. After i deinstalled i didnt even get Data connection
Edit: what i found in another thread is that there could be metal swarf the chargejack (sorry asked Google for translation) that cause battery drain. So u could try cleaning with air pressure

According to the app I extended my battery life with x1.3 but I didnt really feel any difference. Removed the app cause of the ram usage primarily.
The app is really good
Customize everything on your own
It would help a lot
And get the ultimate version and use the advance configuration
Everything is explained perfectly
READ!!!
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
I just use Autostarts so that apps that run on background will just be disabled in the first place.
Better to just configure stuff yourself. Its free and doesnt cause conflicts that could arise from enabling stuff that juice defender disables. I used juice defender free at first when i didnt know anything about battery and it helped a lot. Then I tried it again when i learnt enough about what drains battery and had my phone configured, this time juice defender was worthless and actually increased battery consumption.

believe me if u know that bluetooth , wifi , GPRS/EDGE use battery and is not a lazy asss. u dont need to waste ur precious money on such battery and RAM hogger...
whats the use if automatically switches to airplane mode at night and one day at 3 am there is someone calling u for emergency and alas ur phone is on airplane mode...
it runs in background eats up ur RAM and BATTERY TOO....
if u are on a custom rom.... just push down the notification and use the 14 toggles mod... y waste precious bucks for just 3 click???
IMP: if u constantly use ur [hone .. juice defender cant do a ****.... its only useful if u just switch on ur phone 2 times in 3 hrs...
In my experience it saves me about 3 hours of battery a day. So yeah, I think it is worth it.
I'm using premium instead of ultimate by the way.

Same, Plus user here. When I used the stock ROM, the battery life was impressive with it. But when I switched to a custom one, the difference was little to none. Even when I leave my phone screen switched off when not using, it would last a max of 3-4 days before I've to recharge.
There are definitely some issues with JD ultimate.
Battery drained out completely overnight when I don't have any schedule running, not sure what ate the battery frm 36% to 0. I am regretting that I paid money for this app when it didn't work as advertised.
Hi guys,
I am know on a stock rom and I hate mt phone because of my battery life. My battery is going to 50% when the clock hit 16:00, and I dont use the phone so much.
Which ROM with kernel can give me a boost for the battery? And ofcourse the phone must also be smooth
Thanks..
THE RULES.
All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.

We can't really tell you, you got to start reading and try it yourself. Because the way how we all use our phone is different.

Your bad battery life can be because of many things. If you have things like Facebook, Google+ auto syncing, constantly polling the internet for new data, that can certainly destroy your battery life. Push e-mail can also be a big battery thief. So start out by going through your settings for sync and disable everything for a day or two - just to test out if your battery life is better without apps auto-syncing.
A good tool for finding out about what is eating away your battery life is the app Better Battery Stats, find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
The most interesting section in Better Battery Stats is usually "partial wakelocks". Install the app, charge your phone fully, unplug it and use it normally, letting Better Battery Stats collect data about your device. In the evening, check for "partial wakelocks since unplugged" and share screenshots of that window here on XDA.
This would be a good start for you! Let me know if I can do anything to help you further!
Hi
I ave a S3 and recently the battery has been draining quite quickly.
I have a reserve battery so I keep swapping
Q: will 4.1 rectify or what do you suggest.
thanks people.

A wakelock is something that keeps the phone from sleeping properly, thus draining your battery quicker. The most common wakelocks are audioout_1 (any sound played), or networklocation (something that keeps wanting your position)
Try disabling GPS, auto-sync and disable wifi when you're not connected.

I upgraded to 4.1 a little while ago and I found that my battery life was pretty much the same.
To try and help rectify the situation I went through and disabled a bunch of apps that I just didn't use. I found that the Samsung apps (sync adapter etc.) were causing some heavy duty battery drain. I should say that my phone didn't have any issues with disabling Samsung software, but I can't be sure all of your apps will keep working.
I'd also suggest installing and running Carat for a week or two. It gives you some good insight into what's using your battery, lets you kill apps that are misbehaving and also lets you know which apps are potential battery hogs or have battery issues. You can then choose what you want to do with misbehaving apps. If it's an app that you just don't need then get rid of it, if it's something you use, perhaps look for an alternative or maybe use a task killer to just control the misbehaving apps, any not everything else. After running Carat for a while I really stripped back the apps that I had installed and only really have the apps that I need / use on my phone. Just be patient as results will take a few days to come through.
After all of that I get around 18 hours of "normal" type use: e.g. a phone calls, SMS, web browsing, corporate email sync (push), a polling email account and 2 Google accounts syncing. I have the Facebook app installed, but I have disabled auto-updates for that as well as Plume and Taptu.
Oh, I also set my phone to airplane mode between 11pm and 5am every day if I'm at home. I use PhoneWeaver to control my phone's profiles. And obviously GPS will drain the battery if it's on, and I also use Wi-Fi where I can, but turn it off if I’m not using it.
With 4.1 you'll find that Now *can* potentially cause some extra drain depending on what you do with it and what your location settings are. For the record, I'm using Now with the location settings on and I'm quite content with my battery drain. It can always be better, but I can live with charging once a day (I plug it in overnight and unplug when I go to work).
Also, give the phone a few days to let it settle in. I noticed quite a difference in battery drain over the first week of flashing, even with the same pattern of usage. One day I'd get 8-10 hours the next 12 or so. So give it a few days and see how you go.
Hope that helps and good luck!
Mike.
