Help Help: Juice Defender Status Bar Icon

[shaggylouie]

I have Juice Defender Ultimate and so far i think its good. The only thing that's bugging me is the little status bar icon. The JD website has instructions on how to hide the icon, but that "hide" option doesn't exist on my version.

Anybody know how to "hide" this icon?

I just have the free one, but for me I go to status scroll down a little bit and it says notification and the option to enable or disable.

Yeah the enable and disable options are there, but it says disabling notifications might cause android to close the application

Did you disable this? And have you had any problems with android closing the app?

Thanks for your reply!

I don't often use juice defender but when I do I always take off the notification icon and have never had any problems.

Android doesn't consider a task to be "running" unless it is an ongoing task in the notification bar. This means that the if the device runs low on memory, and you have the notification disabled, the system could decide to close JuiceDefender.

There are two routes you can take.

1. Disable the notification anyway, we have 1 GB of ram to play with, I doubt you will have troubles.

2. Choose to have no icon (I do this with tasker as well) this way, there is information when I pull down the notification bar, but no icon getting in the way.

Thanks. I would prefer option number 2, but I might try disabling the notification. I can't figure out how to remove the icon - any help with that? (I should know this since I can't seem to put down my phone)

BTW - over 16 hours yesterday with at least 25% left. Yeah, this app helps.

It may be a feature available only in the beta? on the first configuration page under notification I have graphical, text, disabled as my options for type (disabled makes it not an ongoing service) but then right under that I have an option to hide the notification icon and to turn on quickbox.

I also use JD Ultimate.

It must be beta. I'm using the regular free app to run it with Ultimate and I am not presented with that option. Bummer.

Well if it's any help, I've always only used the beta, and I have never had a single problem with it.

If I switch to beta, will my ultimate settings stay the same or will I have to start all over? Thanks again - much appreciated

I'll be honest, I don't know. But you can back up your current settings, and then if you don't like the beta you can switch back to the regular version and import your backed up settings.
