Im planning to use this app aswell but i just want to share something with you guys. I overclocked my phone using umph kernel and used smartass governor in setcpu running 1700mhz 122mhz min. 10hrs with 3g, wifi, gps and brightness off my phone was at 75% so if your looking for something to save battery life this might help. Thats why i want to try out juice defender maybe i could set it to close 3g auto once my phone goes to sleep mode.
Oddly enough my battery life seems to be better with my phone overclocked to 1.6ghz, and when I leave wifi on all the time. I have had days where I have taken my phone off the charger, at 7am, and still had 50% battery life at 12am. Though the majority of the time, I have about 30% by the time I go to bed. As I stated before, I use juice defender, and it helps greatly.Stop overclocking, that will help with your battery
You don't want to use a task killer, they're bad for android.I am liking juice defender so far, def seems to be improving battery life. I noticed the app recommends two other apps, autorun manager and autokiller, are those good as well?

I hear that all the time and yet when I don't use mine i run my ram through the roof and the phones runs like Sh*t... WTF why does half the population say they're crap and the other half swears by them?
There's a myth that cutting CPU speed actually saves joules. It doesn't necessarily. You have to look at how many joules of energy it takes to do task "X", not the cpu speed.
Depending on the architecture it can actually be more conservative in terms of power use to get it done fast and then go to sleep than to get it done more-slowly at a lower clockrate. The reason is that there is a quite large power overhead in the CPU that is not clock or instruction-sensitive - that is, the power is simply drawn to do things like power the line drivers on the pins and other internal circuitry.
Did you read the full article that I wrote (I linked it, it explains a lot)? Or did you just read my reply and assumed you knew more than I do?I hear that all the time and yet when I don't use mine i run my ram through the roof and the phones runs like Sh*t...

I got into android development for the sole purpose of writing my own task killer because I thought it would help. However, after learning how the system manages itself I found that using a task killer wouldn't actually help the system so I never wrote one. Instead I wrote some other apps that I've distributed via the android market.
It is my opinion that people who swear by task killers are victims of power of suggestion.
The app you mentioned sounds very similar to what I am doing with watchdog. I don't run a task killer, and having monitored the usage, I have zero apps that use up too many resources and need to be killed (I run somewhere around 85 apps on my phone). I manually turn off my wifi/3g/all that other stuff when not using it and have sync/updates set for every 30 min when they are on. I can go about 10-12 hours without needing to charge when I use my phone quite a bit, it lasts much longer when I am not using it much.The quick solution is to kill that task, the better one is to unload the misbehaving application.
