Root Clear Performance Difference - Bekit 1200LV vs P3 1200LV with BB V1

UPDATE: It seems that JuiceDefender doesn't work on CDMA phones with Android 2.1 - Motorola Droid and HTC Eris users, please be patient as I try to find a workaround, if possible - won't be easy, as I'm in EU.

Maybe some of it does. Literally my battery lasts twice as long. I've never been able to go 24hrs w/o charging let alone have 30% battery left.
 
I've used the bekit and the P3 both @ 1100. The bekit will run all day (9+ hours) under heavy use and never be lower than 30% at the end of the day. With the P3 I had less than 5% under the same use.
 
Funny thing is that I know I am not crazy with the JD thing, because the widget even showed me what I was noticing in battery increase and decrease.

I went from Cyan's latest test, which had a major hiccup in that slliding the keyboard out unlocked the phone and pocket dialed...so I went to NexBeast, and I lasted 19hours and had 30 percent left with pretty light use.
PROBLEM is that I "think" it was the P3, but it could have been the Bekit, lol, since I was trying both again.
I will have to nandroid back and see.

Why is it that with certain Droids, like yours, JuiceDefender works.. and with mine, it doesnt really. I mean I understand that it isn't suppose to work with Droid but.. yeah Im just wondering.. Hmm..

My multiplier says 2.07 right now, where it may not be that good, I notice a difference.
IDK
 
After flashing bb v1.1 I thought I'd give the bekit another chance. It always seems to be excellent for 2_3 days and then the battery takes a number 2 on me.
 
So.. I guess it starts to work on Droid after you leave it on for a while.

but my multiplier fluctuates between x1.99 and x2.10.. and i have noticed my battery lasting longer.. good stuff. =]
 
Just my $0.02:

I've been running CM (latest update, currently 5.0.7.1) and recently decided to go with a new kernel that showed up over on the CM forums:

jdlfg kernels - CyanogenMod Forum

jdlfg's kernel -- I'm running the 5 slot 1200mhz kernel -- has netted me the best battery life so far.

I know the OP is talking about BB, but at least on CM I'm getting at least a entire day out of my battery -- 16 - 20 hours with light-medium usage (though I admittedly don't listen to music on my phone).
 
My phone did not like that at all. Boot loop and now fc's!

I'm curious as to why you guys believe that JD is working based on what the JD widget tells you ... seems like believing that Congress is working well based on a report from Congress, if you know what I mean.

Has any one got any objective data (hopefully measured same activities over the same time period with and w/out JD) that confirms a benefit on our Droids running 2.1?

As I mentioned before, I don't take complete stock in what the multiplier says.
I think it's optimistic, but it is concurrent to battery sucking kernels I have used. It's hard for me to get very good back to back comparisons, on and off JD, but I have tested a bit when I first tried it out and there is an improvement.

When I started using it, my phone was sucking up to 10% an hour just on idle and with JD I did notice that life got better, no exact numbers, but I would judge about 6-7% an hour instead, on the conservative side of the numbers.

With battery sucking kernels I have seen 1.2x-1.6x and on the current (Bekit) kernel, which is rocking about 5% battery reduction every 2 hours or so on idle, it shows 2.0x - So what the widget says and what I notice by looking at uptime and usage coincide.
It's late - I hope that made sense.
Not the most scientific, but yeah
