Help Juice Defender Constantly Disables Itself

[warthog01]

I've had this problem since March, never solved it and it's driving me nuts. Perhaps someone has cracked it since then. I'm running an unrooted UK htc One M8 on Android 5.0. I've used JD plus for a number of years, but since upgrading to Lollipop the app constantly disables itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled (on WiFi and data only) a number of times and also tried installing JD Beta--same result. I enable the app (balanced profile-no bells or whistles) go do something else and when I return the app is disabled. I found the following in JD FAQs:

JuiceDefender keeps disabling itself/all buttons are grayed out

Setup is now mandatory. JuiceDefender needs a successful completion of the Setup routine to work, there's no cheating around it; if Setup keeps failing, wait until you get to an area with strong reception before running it. If you don't have a data plan, or otherwise don't have mobile data working for some reason, please tap on Skip connectivity check when prompted.

Trouble is, I don't see any formal setup program within the app. I just install it and enable it as I've done for years. Can someone point me at this mysterious setup function or otherwise suggest a way to get JD up and running as it should?

I've attached a log for those of you who can decipher them. Thanks in advance!

Juice Defender was never any good and has not been updated in years. Battery saver apps are ineffective and often use more power than they save. Uninstall!

Read this thread for more information about why such apps are no good:
