I purchased this app. I recommend not getting it. It plays to many games on the phones system and causes unwanted data lose and networking issues. It does work but I found it better to use the phones widgets called Power Control and Program Monitor along with Advance Task Killer to work better.

sreum Many will give you a hard time for suggesting a task killer.
The built in tools work and according to those in the know you dont need to kill them anyways

Here is a random example article Task Killers – You Really DON’T Need Them and http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

Yes... it kills services while the screen is off. This is how it saves battery. It gives me an estimate that it is "extending" the battery by a factor of 1.3-1.5 times. And it does extend the battery.

For your information, the ultimate version allows full customization of what the app does to conserve battery. If you're going to pay for the app, buy the full app. Don't waste your money on half of the app.

This phone needs an automatic task killer and everything else we can do to slow down the battery pig... That's how I feel and that's what I'm going to keep recommending...

I am happy to report that my battery is currently around 75% full. Normally this battery would be close to the "connect to charger" warning we Indulge owners love so much. The phone has been off the charger for 3.5 hours now.

I have used my phone as I always do, which is off and on depending on what I am doing, and on 1x.

Juice Defender is an outstanding app and, as I already said, if you are going to buy it then buy the Ultimate version.

Ok. I have just received the pop-up from the phone informing me of my need to charge the phone. This happened almost one hour later then normal for a weekday.
