Hi! Is worth it to use juicedefender on ics?
I personally haven't tried it myself, but due to it's downloads and ratings in Google Play, it seems really good and legit. I read it can multiply your battery life x4, but i don't need it atm so test it yourself.

Do u always use sync and use live updates from app like fb,g+,news app and the like then the answer is yes!! (Net always turned on)
It definitely improves battery a lot!!:good:
U could get more juice out of it!!!
What it does basically is reduce ur wifi scan frequency and connects the edge or 3g only in specified intervals (say every10mins or the time u set)..
Disable bluetooth & wifi automatically when not available NIght modes (All these can be done manually itself)
So ull get the live updates from ur app as well as save battery alot. .
If u turn on net only manually when browsing or for other purpose ... Then the app has no use for it!!!

Hello,
Does any one of You maby know that there is an app that will automaticly change 2g to 3g while internet connection is activated? (and vice versa)
Is it possibe?
Now, for better battery life, i'm changing 2g->3g manually each time i need internet. Phone keeps 50% time more on one charge.(!) I'm used to it but maby some one make it easier
Greets !
I'm not sure, since I've never used it, but I think an app like Tasker or Locale can help you with something like this.
I think Juice Defender could help you with this as well. I haven't used it in a long time, but I think there was an option to use 2g only until screen was on or something like that.

Hi all ,
I have a brand new mini pro, brought a week ago, and i'm experiencing a battery issue.
I really like it, but the battery runs out in the afternoon.
I've tried to change every kind of rom and kernel, and i changed the battery too.
No improvements.
Please tell me if this stats are good.
I am afraid my phone may be broken.
Thanks

Looking at awake and screen on stats I'd say it's normal. U gave it a heavy beating by the looks of it, or probably some rogue apps making it awake most of the time. But i doubt it's a rogue app because the awake and screen on graph matches each other so it prove u use the phone.
Unstable data traffic may draining battery. Also wifi, sync stuff, gps, n brightness. Check it out.
And u can use some tweak too.

Stay in 2G , u have the same problem like me poor signal 3G/H i don`t now why but the phone realy has poor signal problem compared with other . Better battery u can get if u disable the data (in service they say to disabel but it is a smartphone why to buy smartphone without data?) and disable facebook autosync .
Thanks for reply.
I need data, so i can't disable, but when i am at home, i use wifi instead of data to save battery.
Auto sync is off, facebook is neither installed, brightness less than 50%.
And i don't have background apps running.
Should i use 2g instead of 3g as someone said?

Sure. If u use 3g and you're in a country with poor signal quality your battery will drain faster.
In Italy we have this kind of situations with many operator so we use 2g and when we need faster data (youtube or browser) switch to 3g network
R it may be a hardware problem if none of the above r working take it to sony...it maybe a hardware prob
It not hardware my minipro was compared with Samsung S plus , Gio, Moto Defy , Iphone 3g all with the same stok rom and with same aplications (whatsapp , yahoo , facebook) on 3g (H) and minipro it was very unstable most of time he stay in 2g and other phones stay 3g all the time , the grafic in battery stats say that ...well on other phone don`t have this problem for exemple my Defy and Iphone in elevator have 3g but mini pro have 2 line on 2g an if it was in call it disconecting , the phone was in service 3 times more than a month for test but nothing ....this is the phone .... after 4 months of using i sellit to buy HTC status and my battery last 1 day with facebook yahoo whatsapp a little browsing and sync so this is a smartphone not sony who tell my to stop data ...hello it is a smartphone it depending by internet connection i need that mail sync ...i need browsing ...i need chat why to trow with 190e for a smartphone if u can using ...?

This is a thread to help those who want to get the best battery life out of their phones. It works for both the razr/razr maxx GSM models, and should work for the CDMA models although I'm not too sure since I dont own one. The basis of this battery saving tip is the use of 2G when not using data-heavy applications and only toggling 3g when required. I've personally gone 6 days on a single charge with this, with about 3-4 hours of screen on time, push emails, facebook, whatsapp and im+pro on all the time.(take note I am using the Maxx). I know some people who turn off data connectivity when the screen is off, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a smart phone with push notifications.
turn away now if you cant bear to be disconnected from the network for a couple of seconds as it changes connectivity.
battery consumption for connectivity are as follows: 2G<WIFI<3G<LTE. Most push notifications work fine with 2G only.
Also, I will not be held responsible for any data-loss or bricked devices. Proceed with caution!
Prerequisites:
1. Rooted (doesnt matter if it's ICS/JB.)
2. ROM that allows for 2g/3g/LTE toggle (so far, AOKP, all CM-based roms work)
OR
3) Resign the stock-based rom of your choice using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530
4)Tasker or any other APP that allows automation
5) Bootmenu manager to make a backup of your system in case anything screws up and to flash the toggle2g.apk
optional
6)motomizer for underclocking/undervolting and backups
7)push notifications fixer to make sure you always stay connected to the google server for push notifications
8) Greenify for hibernating/closing programs that you dont need running when screen is off
9) Lux auto brightness to control the brightness settings, especially since we use an amoled screen, dark themes and lower brightness help immensely.
10) bloat freezer/titanium backup to freeze/delete all unneccessary bloatware
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM USING BOOTMENU MANAGER BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER.
for the people already using custom roms(AOKP/CM/Liquidsmooth)
step 1
In tasker, add a new profile.
Under event->system->Device boot->new task->Net->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 2G only)
this will allow tasker to choose 2G only mode whenever your device boots
step 2
New profile, select application and then choose all the applications you want to use 3G/LTE in. Add new task, under Net->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 3g/LTE whichever you want). save the profile.
step 3
add an exit task for the 3G/LTE toggle ->Net->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 2G only)
and you're basically done!
in the event where step 1 doesnt work(tasker says this action isnt allowed in your rom or something to that effect)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530 and flash the toggle2G.apk in recovery. if the app turns up in yoour device after reboot, follow the above steps, but instead of
new task->Net->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 2G only), do this
new task->plugin-> toggle2g ->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 2G only)
For people who prefer using the stock rom, this process will be harder(but still do-able)
step 1
Resign a stock-based rom of your choice(requires the .zip file of the rom). again, follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530
step 2
if you have done this successfully and you should now have the toggle2g apk shown in your app drawer.
In tasker, add a new profile.
Under event->system->Device boot->plugin-> toggle2g ->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 2G only)
this will allow tasker to choose 2G only mode whenever your device boots
step 3
New profile, select application and then choose all the applications you want to use 3G/LTE in. Add new task, ->plugin-> toggle2g ->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 3g/LTE whichever you want). save the profile.
step 3
add an exit task for the 3G/LTE toggle ->plugin-> toggle2g ->mobile data 2g/3g->mode(choose 2G only)
and you're basically done!
Now for the optional bits
1) push notifications fixer will help increase the reliability of your push notifications by decreasing the intervals your device sends heartbeats to the google server. I have mine set at 3 min intervals, and it has not affected my battery life in anyway.
link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer&hl=en
2) Motomizer expert. I have my phone undervolted/underclocked from 300 to 1000mhz. seems to have helped with any heat issues, and is solid as a rock. if anyone needs the value of the undervolt, I will post it later on request. the exper version also allows you to make app backups like titanium backup. Take note, the current Kexec roms will not work with motomizer.
3) Greenify helps to preserve battery by not allowing the apps you specify to run in the background.
link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5vYXNpc2ZlbmcuZ3JlZW5pZnkiXQ..
Apps that run fine on 2G(WIP)
1)Web browsers
Opera browser Mobile - usually runs okay on 2g, not for people who want absolute speed. also not recommended for data/image intensive websites
Opera Beta - still in the beta stages of it's development, but looks promising, has an offroad feature that compresses data on their servers so your device doesnt have to download so much
I usually keep the native browser and set it to toggle 3g so I can use it for faster browsing when required
2) Chat applications -
apps that work
whatsapp, im+, IMO.im, beejive - these all work fine when just sending text. If sending images or downloading images, it will be better to turn on your 3g. Push notifications for whatsapp, im+ and beejive work perfectly fine (no delay)
apps that dont
line(naver) : This app behaves strangely. It receives push notifications just fine, but it requires a second download of the text after you open the app. The process is not only slow, it is prone to mix up as well. Avoid if using this battery saving method
Gtalk: the native app also doesnt work well with 2g. Use one of the above applications if possible.
3)RSS readers
RSS junkie: the best RSS reader I have used so far. It relies not only on push notifications, but you can set it to push the entire RSS article onto your device for speedy reading instead of having to download it
4)maps
Google Maps: If you have predownloaded the map you need it works pretty well. Set it to toggle 3g as well if you need to search for something.
5)email
Gmail application works well with 2g, unless the email is
1) image heavy
2) has a big attachment to download
set 3g to toggle if you are a user who fulfils the above 2 settings
Yea 2g saves so much battery, when I was on Ics I used to use superpower, it automatically changes to 2g when the screen s off and you can turn it to 3g through the notifica bar whenever u want, easy and batt saver! Now with CM10.1 I use the toggle I love it!

Updated the post with some apps that work well with 2g and some that dont. Please feel free to let me know about apps you've experimented with!
I envy your battery life.
I am lucky if my phone reaches 30hours with all the battery saving tips i know. I also have a razr maxx but i guess i got a defective battery that drains like a regular razr.

I used to last around 30hours as well on 3g all the time. the reception around my area is really bad, and sometimes drains up to 20-30% a night just on standby. That's when I started putting it on 2g and getting insane battery life
if you already have a rooted phone, you can try it out as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the result, and made sure all my iphone loving friends found out about it
Yeah my phone is rooted. Im quite sure that my battery is the problem of my phone coz i once tried to use a pure black wallpaper, 25%brightness and on 2g only but still got nearly 30hours battery life with just 3hours screen on time and average usage such as gaming, music and movies. Almost the same when i use it with a live wallpaper and 100% brightness. But still it is better than my colleagues who uses iPhone and s3 that barely survives 1day battery.
But during nighttime standby, my battery drains 10% only in 8hours.

you can still use toggle2g, but it will be more complicated. If you have bootmenu manager, do a backup of your 1st/main system. then resign the stock rom of your choice using the resign tool attached at the bottom of this post. after which, flash it to the 2nd/system where u can test it out and see if it performs to your expectation before migrating it to your 1st system.
Note: after you resign, the toggle2g app will appear in your app drawer automatically.
Step 3 add an exit task.. Can't manage to do that do to do it? I have cm10 on 2nd system

You have to long press on the original task of the profile. The popup will allow you to add an exit task

On Stock JB ROM and using 2G only for both standby and data. I am already satisfied with the battery life without any other tweaks.
Can't wait to root it and flash it with custom ROMs and test all the tweaks you mentioned. Thanks.
Personal recommendation, try the liquiddmooth ROMs. Very stable when I tested them, espexcially the release candidates

Hi guys,
So I've been struggling to get decent standby battery life on this phone. I've seen the best results with the stock GB/ICS with nothing else installed when the phone would last for 3+ days. Any other setup drains 2-3% every hour, even with sync/GPS/BT/WiFi/overclock off (only mobile data on). Tried multiple ROMs and kernels. Any idea if I can do better?
turn off mobile data!
hi! You should turn off mobile data, and say result OK?
I'll test tonight. Right now I'm using the LegacyXperia 4.4 ROM.

hey what's the result....
if you still not satisfied with your battery backup then try the following:
1) change the no. of background processes to 2 in developers settings.
2) change the cpu governor to conservative.
3) change io scheduler to RAW.
4) change your network type to 2g.
4) in performance settings change power profile to power saving.
that's what I do get a decent battery life. Hope it helps you to.
If I helped you then hit thanks button.. :good:
So yeah that did the trick! With mobile data off it is down to <1%/hour.
Is there a chance I can keep mobile data on and get good battery life? I have a very minimalist setup which does not use data in the background and sync is off. Apps only respond to push notifications. Not sure why having data on takes a toll on battery life.
just turn on it when you need that!

hi! no it is not possible because all roms spend a lot of battery if mobile data turned on, just turn on it when you need that, then everything will OK!

If you turn off your mobile date and closed all apps,your battry life will be higher

Hi Guys ,
My last two months of Omate Trusmart usage , i could see most battery drain was happening when u always keep your data / wifi / bluetooth on.
So i developed a app that switches off / on your wifi and data radios at user defined intervals(3 min On and 6 min Off in my case ) .
As for Bluetooth it gets switched on only when there is a incoming or outgoing call.This really increased by battery performance by 30-40% more.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sts.dataonofflite
This app was developed for all android systems so i'm trying to develop an alternate UI that may be easy for trusmart users.
User Suggestions are welcome.
UI updated
I updated the UI to fit omate trusmart
thanks for that!
by the way would there be any plan for update where Wi-Fi can be turned off at set time and turn on at the set time?
For example I'd like the Wi-Fi off during the time I travel to and from work as I drive.
cheers
Can't you do that and loada of other similar stuff using Llama app?

Llama works well (the llama factoids can occasionally be a little too big though).
Tasker users are satisfied too.
With those you can do a lot.
What maybe is missing is sharing the Llama "profiles", it can be difficult for some users to get started with Llama.
This app looks OK though, competition is good. Simpler to get started.
I use this app called "LeanData"

Not trying to steal your thunder, but for those who use mobile data and wifi to be connected most/all of the time and are already using the Xposed framework, there is also Intelli3G. It has a good range of switching logic to help save battery usage.
