This is a warning to those of you who may think about using JuiceDefender on the Droid Charge. Don't use it! Don't buy it!
Yeah, it works in helping the battery last longer but... and this is the part that makes this message a warning; if you have your phone in standby and the screen off for a long time and JuiceDefender has turned your data radio off, after coming back from the lock screen the data radio will not be re-engaged. You will not be able to browse the web at all, doesn't matter if it's 3G or 4G, you will not be able to browse the web at all.
The only way to fix this issue is to reboot the phone. I even tried putting the phone into Airplane Mode and then disabling it, nothing fixes the issue until you reboot the phone.
So, this is a warning to those thinking of using that app. Don't!
