JuiceDefender

Hi I found this through android market place by chance and about a week ago I got a samsung galaxy prevail with boost. The first night I got it I drained the batteries as low as I could drain it to charge it.. next day I noticed the charge lasted only 9 hours. After I found JuiceDefender my batteries lasted almost 50 hours on a single charge.

My question is would JuiceDefender plus or ultimate even be worth it for that extra kick in battery life..and I just got rid of my battery saver version and installed JuicDefender beta.

If any one could help me out thanks. =)

I’ve tried a pantload of battery-savers and I always go back to JD, dunno why, just seems to work best. I too am curious about the benefits of paying for a pro version, other than I should since I use it. Lasts a very long time as long as I don’t use the phone, but as I use it, it drains like any other battery app.
 
with paid version you get to customize it to the fullest and JuiceDefender Ultimate enables all the advanced features in Juice Defender, which the free version only let you go so far. ;)
 
I used to go with Green Power, but switched to JD free because the latest update of GP free shuts down data even if I'm tethering. I do get really annoyed by the fact that JD takes up space in the pull down notifications though. I dont see much sense in paying for these kinds on things when the free version should have been enough for me.

i agree.. from what i could tell it basically just automates shutting off your data / wifi connections... i guess that may be good to be for some... i just put a widget on the screen to easily turn off wifi/data when i'm not using it.

Juice defender also watched WiFi, brightness and a few other things, but data is the biggest thing. For people like me who have unlimited data plans and is always online with background sync enabled, it gives a few hours more juice.
 
I just purchased juice defender 3.8 ultimate and my batter life went from 2 days and a few hours ( with juice defender free vesrion ) to 3 days and a few hours and im still at 20% battery life.

Just wanted you guys to know that juice defender ultimate 3.8 for $4.99 at android market is deff worth it. :rolleyes:
 
In it's quest to prolong the battery life do you know it is "interfering" with other apps? Search and you will feel an equivalent number of postings on users who find their other apps not working properly after they have JD and enabled it.
 
I also am using JuiceDefender and am experiencing something with my phone overnight..it is shutting down after I go to sleep and I am expecting the alarm to help me wake up, I don't know why it's doing this but if any help on this matter or a simple 3g on/off app/widget toggle would be nice.
 
The reason is simple. JD is stopping perfectly appropriate apps from waking up the smart-phone to do it's job and that includes the alarm app. To verify is simple, you just uninstall JD to test if the alarm app will work again.
 
I have disabled JD and am testing a more slimmed down 3g on/off (off when display is, on when on) to see if this does any difference messing with my alarm setting.

EDIT: My phone turned off again and JD was not on the system but the app I am trying is 3G Auto Off by Kpp Tech. Does anyone have a reliable and compatible app rec for the Galaxy Prevail until I can actually find a large capacity battery for the phone?
 
I must be missing something... I had to dump JD after the GB update because it no longer worked. I can't reinstall because it can't find the AOSP helper file. I can't even get the Ultimate settings tab like I used to. I recently checked in and the same problem continued. It appears, in other forums, this is still not a resolved issue. Are you all not experiencing this?
