Help Looking for a good battery use app

[victek]

Can you recommend a good app for detailed battery usage? I find the built-in app kind of limited.

I always use battery indicator pro, and there are several good free and paid battery apps on Google Playstore.

Is that the one from Darshan Computing? Do you know the difference between the Free and Pro versions? What do you especially like about it?

GO Power Master

Go Power Master (GPM) looks quite comprehensive. I already use Juice Defender so GPM is probably overkill, but definitely a good looking app, thanks.

BBS looks like an in-depth tool - not free, but not expensive either. I'll keep it in mind, thanks.

Good god man, uninstall the juice defender. The new versions of android don't needthat sstuff and they all just muck up your system.

Juice Defender is not having any negative effect on the phone and I don't see either GingerBread or JellyBean automatically doing what Juice Defender does. Can you say more about why additional power management is not needed and why it will "muck up" the system?

This is all you need IMO. This app was recommended to me by my good friend and fellow Moderator EarlyMon, I haven't looked back since

Someone recommended juice defender ultimate to me but I'd love some feedback first before deciding if I will get it. It looks complex to me

is there one that gives more detail into what within the android system is using battery instead of just saying that..and one that somehow shows whats display is eating?

I always thought it sucked up quite a bit of battery, is that not the case for you or has it improved?

i just started using this app..im not using a widget or any active stuff i just go into it to check things every now and then..in the apps area though i noticed it shows certain apps using more then what the regular usage area in the phone shows
