Advanced Alternative to JuiceDefender - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

As some may know, JuiceDefender sucks now (IMO) - it hasn't been updated since 2012, and just doesn't work/look right on the note 3. In fact, I think I did better with my battery without it on there. Took me a while to realize it was JD!
Anyway, I've been looking for a new alternative. Not that my battery is overly bad on the note 3, it's actually pretty good. But it's nice to have an app for when I really want to stretch it out.
unfortunately, I can't really find a good alternative. I've tried the following - http://i.imgur.com/zIb77fV.png (im lazy sorry)
And after playing with them, I've started to lose hope. None of the top recommendations seem to have anything close to JuiceDefenders ability of scheduling, locations, app control, screen on/off, and quick enable/disable.
Some had a few, but they were pretty limited.
So im open to suggestions! I don't mind a small price, but would like a trial/free version.

2 battery saving tips

I know most of you guys around here aren't new to Android or noobs but I use 2 of the weirdest apps and they really help me save a little battery so i wanted to share! If you already use these then carry on
1. LEDs Hack (root needed) is free in the market. Those bottom leds constantly drain your battery (at least it drains mine). Download the app and select the "droid 2" as your device and it will shut off those pesky bottom or top leds.
2. Screen Filter is also free in the market. This is one of my favorite apps especially on the photons super bright screen. Even at the lowest setting this screen is bright. Screen filter dims it and saves some juice! (or at least i think it does lol)
Of course there's other battery saving options as Motorola did a great job implementing awesome features even on the stock rom i.e battery/data profiles etc. Im pulling my phone off at 7am and when i get home at 5 its about 50% with moderate to heavy usage. I have my data profile to only use data when the screen is on and i can go a full 22 hours on a single charge!
Also turn your data off when your not using the phone. HUUUGE battery saver.

I agree. I have my phone to max settings for data, so when I get an email I know right then, and my location is being updated as the phone sees fit. I figured that I bought the phone so I can have all my communication now and setting it to anything other defeats the purpose. Also my backlight is set to auto.
yesterday I got 12 hours of battery with 4h32m backlight which was 2h21m of modern combat 2 local multiplayer and 48 min talk time plus 40 or so emails and txt and my local news app up with my browser getting news on the local wildfires.
incredible battery life! now if I can just stop the voice/3g from locking up all the time.
I get good life out of my Mo-Pho with HEAVY HEAVY use. From 6am to about 4pm, with heavy xda, blogs, FB, pulse, 3 GMail acct.s, news, weather, G+, YouTube... I think you get the point... Lol

Battery Saver Apps

I know battery saver apps are fairly popular on phones. For a long time, I used Juice Defender Ultimate on my phones. I have since switched to GreenPower Premiere. I think these apps do a fairly good job but I have not been able to determine whether they are more effective than the stock battery manager / saver included in ICS. Any thoughts on that? What about the "battery saver" included with Norton Utilities Mobile?
More importantly, do you use a battery saver app on your TF300 or other tablet? I have never tried it but I would like to find a few solutions that will extend my battery life so I don't have to worry about charging all the time. Admittedly, I have several chargers (home, work, and a spare to take with me wherever) but I would like to maximize my battery life so I am not constantly looking for an outlet.
Let me know your thoughts and opinions. Gracie!

No, I personally find those apps unhelpful and does nothing
I use at the moment Greenify *ROOT*.
But just to test purposes. I can not say whether Greenify * ROOT * working properly until now.
I am thrilled by the Snapdragon ™ Battery Guru (beta). The app I use on my EVO 3D. Will not work on our tablet.
Personally, I stay away from them too. You can take a few seconds and do what most of them do yourself. Then you don't have to worry about the battery saver app pulling unneeded juice. Just get in the habit of disabling features you don't need when you're not using them.
I guess they would help out a person who doesn't know their way around the tablet and its settings or is just lazy. lol

For that you will need xposed framework on your device. If you buy the paid app for Greenify. It comes with an option known as " Experimental Features". Select that, in the settings you will find an option known as "Greenify System Apps". You can enable that, and other features once you have followed what the app "Greenify" ask you to do, such as enabling modules etc. Good luck, hopefully I helped.

Helped on my Nexus 5, Google Play Services was pretty much draining most battery for me

[Q] Battery drain?!

Hello everyone
I'm experiencing some problems with my battery being drained rather fast. I'm running one of the latest CM nightlies but my phone is empty after only 11 hours.
I've attached graphs made with Better Battery Stat to this post. My usage to was: The phone didn't leave my house and i didn't use the audio. I used it from time to time to play a game (BounceBall) read a bit on the internet (Chrome) or Reddit (Reddit News).
Despite never moving my phone Google Maps/NetworkLocations seem to be run pretty frequent. How can i disable this? And is there anything else that mgiht be wrong with my phone causing a battery drain?
Thanks in advance
Note maps qnd location services. Disable them and you'll be fine.

i'd strongly recommend also to use Juice Defender in agressive mode on. With that, your data connection will be enabled every 30min instead of being always on in the background... this saves me a lot of battery as well.
I have upgraded from ICS stock to JB stock and now my battery lasts much less than before. I am considering donwgrading to ICS 4.0.3
Hope it helps.
I'd strongly recommend you don't use Juice Defender. At all. Ever. That app (and similar apps) was designed to hoover money from n00bs who don't know better.

it's a free app, and I've tested with and without, and for me it makes a huge difference. if you never tried before, you should before saying it doesn't work... it's only 3mb and runs only 1 service on the background (around 6mb).
I did try it back when I was using a black wallpaper so I would get better battery life, on GB!

JuiceDefender does nothing you can't do yourself, and you'll pay a drain penalty for the (false) 'convenience'.
Prey is as good as it gets so far as those apps are concerned.
Lol, when you start looking into a device you're thinking about getting, when you're new to all of this, you only get the "battery life" part, hence you become obsessed with it.
The crazy thing is that you don't even know how your device behaves until you actually use it without all these apps, but you don't know that, so the first thing you get from play store, it's a juice saver app.
I should know, been there done that.
Sent from the little guy
Unless you read the advice of people who know from experience that these things use more juice than they save before you get your phone (Which is what I did for over a month before I got mine).
I didn't read any of that until I had already bought green power and weren't even using it.

Use greenify (it's a free app) to freeze apps which usually run in your background, like your maps for example. Check out for a better description of the app in play store

Poor battery life thus far...

I left my phone on to charge overnight so it's 100% when I woke up. I turned it on to check the weather for the day and before I turned it off, it's down to 99%. When I got to work, I turned it back on and I'm at around 90%. I got home today and I'm at around 30-40% with just some light web browsing and video watching at work. I flashed my T-Mo HTC One with a custom rom that was supposed to help increase battery life.
I'm not blaming the phone yet though. I'm leaning on it being T-Mobile's fault. The data connection seems to be very unreliable, jumping from < 1MB to 10MB download while still supposedly being 4G (icon shows 4G). I read that this can be a constant strain on the battery? I plan to turn off the data and manually turn it on when I want to use it tomorrow to test out this theory.

Welcome to android Where your dreams must be tapered.
mine beasts its way thru days... I still charge it while I sleep but I have a hard time burning through more than 60-70% all day. then again I don't use my phone during work hours.
I'd recommend you get the advanced task killer and use it whenever you're done fiddling around for the time being.

Absolutely the wrong advice. Task killers NEVER need to be used for anything.
If your battery life is poor, it's one of a couple things:
1) an app is keeping your device from going into deep sleep. I'm going to bet it might be maps. Go into the settings on the maps app and make sure it's not updating your location for latitude.
Failing that, search for betterbatterystats on XDA, install that program, and look for wakelocks. Read the main thread on XDA to learn about what wakelock is what. Maps is a big one, so is facebook.
2) if your signal borderlines on 0 signal and 2g/edge. If your signal is low, then fire up wifi to get it to connect to wifi calling. It'll disable the 2g/3g radios and rely on wifi only, which will be a huge save in terms of battery.
NEVER EVER use task killers. It's a myth that's been debunked years ago by the android engineers.

Find Better Battery Stats. It's paid on the market (which I recommend) but he has it free in the apps section on here. Also find GSam battery. Use those two apps to find your wakelock. Use the partial wakelock setting in BBS to find what it is exactly.
Between those two apps you can find any leaks. I would say that it is either the location reporting being on in Maps or a nasty wakelock caused by the ipservice app which is a backbone of WiFi calling.

Thanks. I will give it a try. So does Greenify work much in the same way as iOS multitasking? I came from iOS, and when you switch apps, the app that is in the background gets put into a stasis until you switch back to it.
I've been doing it the old fashioned way as of recently and it's helped tremendously. I have different little widgets (the HTC ones) to turn off certain functions, like GPS (Google Now and other geo-location apps still work, they just don't pinpoint you EXACTLY to a coordinate), WiFi, Bluetooth, brightness, sync, etc.
Additionally, I also have power saver turned on to lower the screen brightness a bit and keep the clock speed of the device lower. Lol it sounds like I'm limiting the hell out of the device, when in reality there's no difference other than the upkeep of having to turn certain things on when you want to use them.

I thought about doing all of that too, but when you think about it, it seems pretty silly to go through all that just to be able to get some usage out of your device.
I've turned off a lot of things that were hogging my battery and am using Greenify. Battery life is a lot better at the moment, but it's still nowhere as efficient as my iPhone 5.

Complete Guide to Improving Battery Life

The G2 has a fantastic battery already, why not make it even better?
I like to see how far I can push this phone's battery. In no way does that mean that you need too as well, but for those of you that do want a few more hours or another day, I'm happy to share what I've learned.
After I've spent time learning the quirks of this phone, and most of its respective ROMs, I've come up with quite a few tricks for improving battery life, some specific to this phone, some just in android general. I now get average 3-4 days battery life, when I use the phone quite often during the day all day long.
It is your personal preference on how much of android's background services that you use compared to apps. This is only suggestions for the users that want to improve battery life.
Heres some of the simplest questions you can ask yourself when you go through the settings center:
Do I really need this feature enabled? Do I use it often? Even if I do occasionaly use it, is it that much of a pain to just turn on when I need it?
Do I really need GPS on 24/7? How often do I really use GPS?
How many apps do I need running in the background?
Do I need to keep autobright on, or keep the screen super bright?
That being said, here are some of the simple things that Ive done.
I keep everything off unless I use it every day.
I keep GPS off 24/7, I never use it.
Out of habit, I always close all apps.
I keep autobright off and keep the screen on 14 brightness. Unless Im right outside in the sun its easy to see, and if I am I can just turn it up with the quick setting.
Some of the more advanced stuff I do, that completely varies on your ROM:
Go through all the system apps and freeze anything you dont use. Example being the Picasa uploader (for me at least).
Leave as little system services running as you need. You wouldent believe how many unneeded services android runs. On the stock roms there are TWO location daemons running.
Currently Im using CleanROM, I switch between it and Cyanogen about once a week, just cant make up my mind on stability v. features, but on CleanROM, some of the stuff I have currently froze
Nearly anything involving Verizon, the carrier APKs are massive bloatware.
I disabled a lot of google services, some people may rely on these, personally I dont, the biggest two google apps I use are chrome and Gmail.
If your on a stock based ROM, disable the LG services you dont use. Textlink wastes a huge amount of power, as does QSlide.
(This applies alot more to carrier based roms than it does Cyanogen/AOSP, but even they do have a few unneccesary servcices.) Be careful when you are touching system services, if you dont know what one does, a google on its function is helpful.
Use a different launcher. Excluding the stock google launcher, most factory launchers are very inefficient, LG Home is no exception. Personally, I use SmartLauncher, a very light and very nice looking launcher with a fantastic layout. Nova I know is very light on resources aswell.
The more widgets you have cluttering your screen, the more power they will waste.
I can personally confirm myself that Kitkat based roms have incredible battery life after they settle in for a few days, the kernel level improvements brought with KitKat are very noticable. Currently Gummy Rom and three CM11 builds exist for KitKat, why not give them a try?
If you have unusually high battery usage, check your wakelocks, and see what exactly is using all the power, and you can disable/turn it off and remove that battery drain.
On a final note, comeon guys turn your phones off at night. I have yet to hear a good reason to leave it running over night, all it does is waste power and most commonly let the notification light run for 8 hours. If you use your phone as a alarm, you could turn on airplain mode overnight.
These are just some of the things that I do, if you have any more suggestions, feel free to post them or message me, I'll be glad to add them to the list.
I do not own this device but whats the point of turning all the feature of your phone off just to get a couple more hours out of it just use it like you should and stop worrying too much...

I'll say this again, not everyone is aware of some of the lower level services that android runs that are completely pointless and cause a lot of wakelocks. This drills some's battery life down to 8hrs or less, which they then complain about. You would be surprised at the amount of stuff I have enabled.

GPS is not pointless, it uses for Facebook, navigation, weather update, yelp and a lot of apps.. what you deem is pointless is different than everyone...your reason to own a smartphone is seriously wrong in so many ways...just saying man but its your money.
Honestly people should just enjoy the phone rather than trying to make it last longer. If your phone can make it through the day then consider that a successful phone.
I assumed everyone used their phone as an alarm. I never turn my phone off subsequently.
Some nice hints for someone needing more battery; however, I disagree with your assertion that closing applications saves power. Assuming you need to open the application again it would make sense to leave the application running (idle) in cached ram.

Instead of turning it OFF for the night, turn ON Aeroplane mode. That consumes less energy, than a turn off and on. This also solves the alarm problem, and no email or whatsoever shall wake you up at while you sleep

I assumed everyone used their phone as an alarm. I never turn my phone off subsequently.
Some nice hints for someone needing more battery; however, I disagree with your assertion that closing applications saves power. Assuming you need to open the application again it would make sense to leave the application running (idle) in cached ram.

It completely depends on how often said application is opened, and what it does while idle. I know out of hand while I'm at work I see several people with 3-4 games left open on their phone, this is more what I was reffering too.

Go through all the system apps and freeze anything you dont use. Example being the Picasa uploader (for me at least).
Leave as little system services running as you need. You wouldent believe how many unneeded services android runs. On the stock roms there are TWO location daemons running.

Could you list all the stuff you freeze? I'd appreciate more specific examples, thanks

I wrote this late last night, so I didnt have time to look through the list of everything I froze, but I'll add it to the OP in the next few minutes since I have a few free moments.
