Hi All,
I've had my Galaxy S2 for a couple of weeks now and i love it. I was experiencing poor battery life so i decided to root my phone so that I could run Juice Defender Pro with all options available.
I notice now that sometimes after a period of inactivity, the phone automatically powers down which is very annoying. Has anyone else noticed this and if so, found a solution?
Thanks in advance.
David.

Not sure this is Development.
Sorry about that, first time I've created a parent message. Is it possible to move it to the relevant forum?

I've moved it to Q&A
No probs - first thought is: did it power down before you installed Juice Defender?
I was using the free version of Juice Defender with the stock firmware without any problems. I rooted the phone and installed Juice Defender Pro at the same time so it's hard to know what is causing the problem.
The obvious thing todo is to uninstall Juice Defender and see if the problem persists.
Come to think about it, the only other thing which I have done is to freeze certain services such as social hub and wifi sharing.

has it been decided yet whether snapdragon battery guru is worth a crap or is Greenify just better at hibernating apps?
Inquiring minds...
Gunny been running the guru and honestly I have been getting the same without it on my non rooted and locked bootloader HTC and same in my rooted one so I'm thinking greenify is better in my opinion

I'm using greenify and sometimes it won't hibernate some user apps. I might give snap a try. I also think HTC power management saves quite a bit of battery.
Edit: just installed snap,says it needs 4 days to learn. Lets see how things go!

I actually use both. Greenify to hibernate user apps and batteryguru to handle when things get synced etc....

Greenify.
They seem to take different means to the same end, but I prefer controlling when things get synced myself. I may use Battery Guru to control Wifi or something.
I tried out Guru and to be honest, I feel like I get the best battery life with just Greenify alone. I swear the Guru generates a ton of wakelocks.

I noticed a significant performance boost on my htc with snapdragon. I get 15-20% more battery life but I also cleaned up alot of apps/system files from running in the background with all-in-one toolbox so I don't know which deserves the cred.
Cons:
Wait 4d 4h for SD to learn my usage.
SD manages my wifi and auto enables it. Hate this feature at my work since we use content filter.
Other than that its good
For me it's Greenify and it's not close. I had the Optimus G a little while back and I saw minimal difference. I am using the paid version of Greenify because it has option to hibernate system apps and a few other things that aren't in the free version. Plus he is constantly working to make it even better. I think I got 2 updates in the last 5 days. It's the only battery saving app I even consider using right now.

I have not used greenify but I have used snapdragon guru. I can tell you this. My battery life improved after I deleted snapdragon guru. It sucks more battery life than it saves.

All the "battery saver" apps drain your battery faster. They are a waste. Don't use them. Learn how to manage your device.

Greenify is a great app! However why not use both... I'm currently testing the Snapdragon battery guru to see if I notice a difference. To compare the two to one another is like comparing an apple to an orange.
Sent from my HTcDNAoNE
I have used greenify on my previous phone for a while. Once I got my HTC one I put it on here also. On my previous phone I did notice slight battery improvement but nothing significant. On the one I'm not sure since as soon as I got it out of the box I went to rooting and installed all my previous apps.I did however install snap dragon guru about a week ago to try it out and to me it seemed to drain my battery quicker after the learning process. I recently deleted it but stayed with greenify.

What sort of times are you people seeing with the standby and screen time? I'm curious because with root and CM 10.2 Nightlies flashed, I am on 44 hours of charge with 3hrs 24 minutes of screen time (75%) and 3% battery left. With the stock rom, I couldn't even make it past the 24 hour mark without major wake locks and battery drain over night. I also use pandora stream with bluetooth in my vehicle for about 1-2 hours a day.
Greenify by far + framework !
For anyone who may use this program can you answer a quick question for me? Can I control what apps are allowed to use data? For example I have a game like Dice with Buddies. I can not turn off or control when it looks for updates/new games. I'd like it to only search when I open the app. Could juice defender allow me to stop that without disabling the app? Maybe stick it on a 8 hour timer or something like that? Just wondering

Thanks.
With juice defender you'll be able to control synching times and add apps to a whitelist.

imho its not needed on the one ... with powersaver its more than enough to get 18+ hours easy
Juice defender does you no favors. Use tasker and greenify to squeeze that juice.

For battery saving just use juice defender and greenify..

I didn't have any luck with juice defender personally. Greenify was amazing. Once it's set up, it's zero maintenance
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I didn't really notice any difference with Juice Defender.
I use both Snapdragon Battery Guru and Greenify. With these 2 apps I get 20 hours most of the time with around 20% left when I get home. My CPU is underclocked slightly but my GPU is overclocked for gaming.

Hi.
I am used to get about 4h30min-5 hours max but after doing this little trick I am getting 3 hours 20 minutes with 55% battery left.
The trick is to go into settings- apps- all, find android system and force close it. Don't worry, it will start up again immediately but the battery draining process seem to be killed.
Android OS is no longer the one causing the most battery drain. Android system has settled down too. Check it out!
(It seems like I got another problem to solve - Facebook is draining a whole lot now cos it's using the GPS. Still getting amazing battery life though!)

Coming from a Droid RAZR, you learn a lot of tricks to milk battery life. Trust me, the things I had to do to get those numbers aren't worth it. The drop off in the battery graph is when I got home and was able to turn everything back on and use it normally.
Right now, I average 18 hrs battery, and 5 hrs screen-on:
I am on stock ROM 11A.
Rooted and TWRP
Screen brightness set to auto/60% max
GPS and WiFi toggled on when I need it.
Everything on EXCEPT WiFi and Verizon location services
No disabled or frozen system apps or processes.
4 push emails.
I average 600 texts a month.
I average 6-8 GB on 4G a month.

For your Facebook GPS wakelock, let it connect and lock onto your GPS and the wakelock should stop. If you're closing up Facebook before it has a chance to lock, it will create the wakelock. If you don't want FB to connect to your GPS, make sure GPS is off before you open FB. Also, turning off GPS while in FB before it can lock will create the wakelock as well.
I can't express my gratitude enough. I reinstalled it to make it work lol

The android system force closure. I uninstalled Facebook and downloaded fast for Facebook since I'm tired of the gps issue.

Actually, the numbers are legit. I will admit though, I've never been able to get close to that again. My average when I first got the phone was between 6-7 hours screen on time and about 12 hours battery life. Those 2 days, I just happened to be working massive overtime. Almost all of the screen on time was the second day. The dropoff on the graph was when I got home, turned everything on, and actually used it. It also helped that my work provides me a work phone which I was using during that time instead.
I have tried to hit those numbers again, but I can't, it was a one time deal which is why I took a screenshot. In my head, I'm telling my self that the battery is starting to get worn, but the truth is, I can't put it down long enough or put up with all of the disabled features.
The best I've been able to do since then is 18 hours battery life, about 3 hours screen on. And, 7 hours screen on, 10 hours battery. At this point, I no longer care. I'm happy with my 15 hours battery and 4-5 hours screen on.
It would be more if the battery wasn't starting to wear out....

You have to do this whenever you reboot your phone. I usually turn my phone off, charge it and then turn it on. The first thing I do after putting my pin code in, is to force close andros system.

Lately I've been noticing my battery life isn't doing as it good as it used to be. Nothing troubling, but enough to make me want to look into getting a battery saver.
I've tried Juice defender but it won't ask for SU permissions for reasons unknown, therefore it doesn't work because the app log shows up tons of errors without permissions.
I have looked up on Google for other battery savors but most sites say Juice defender. What else can you guys recommend? Or maybe help me with juice defender? Thanks guys in advance!

I use greenify too. Also the ktweaker app within the ktoonsez kernel has some pretty good battery saving abilities. Specifically project Icarus profile does pretty well on my phone.

I've used JD and it worked, but in all honesty 2x Battery by AZSoft works better than that. Get the Pro version so you can enable night mode and all of the features. I've tried GreenPower too. That one works, but I found that it disabled stuff too well and I wasn't getting notifications when I wanted to. I have 2x set up to sync every hour during the day and 2 hours at night. I'm also using CPU Tuner and Greenify. I'm not a power user, but I do use my phone and end up using about 3-4% per hour.
