I know there are threads on tasker, but i have to say, this is one sick app.
all you have to do is send sms with secret word from any phone and Tasker will enable wifi, gps, and send back a link to google maps with phone location.
That is amazing, but...
Pity the GPS, Compass and Google Maps implementation is completely ****ing broken!
I would definitely love to use this when (or if) the locational services ever do function. Thanks for the heads up -- I had no idea this existed.
There are multiple apps like "Where's my droid" that do this as well.

Maybe, but tasker does thousand other things. For me gps works fine, but there is a problem with compass

If its not too long, would you mind posting your contexts and tasks to achieve just that exact same you just described? I'm trying to get better with the program although at a very slow pace
Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah i was interested in how you did it as well. I am just learning this tasker app and it doesnt seem that you can import and export tasks easily.

you can find it here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
the guy is using GPS only, but its pretty straight forward to include WIFI in this as well (WIFI is for better location without GPS). The time to wait for GPS to get a lock is up to you, I have 1 min.
and as you can see there is a profile there if you wish to lock you phone with SMS and/or play sound. (havent tried that)
For now I have these tasks: 1. If power ON, screen timeout is set to 45 sec (from 15), and lockguard is disabled 2. from 7:30pm to 8am screen brightness set to min and to AUTO other times. 3 Created a widget for "Vibrate" and "Bluetooth" since Vibrant is missing easy access to those functions (in a nice menu widget to save space). 4. I have several tasks killed at boot since they are useless anyway. (for this need to insert WAIT command with whatever time needed since some tasks start after the phone boots)
Thanks a lot for that link! Was able to create my own widget too now!

Can someone please explain how to configure ALL of the Juice Defender Ultimate options on the Epic?
I paid for the Ultimate version of Juice Defender and only some Icons are lit up. Icons such as "Night" still appear to be gray.
Given the big battery issues with Epic, this tools seem like a great workaround.
You may have tried this but since you have purchased it why not try removing it from the device and then reinstalling from the market. This should ensure that you are installing the version you paid for.
You actually have to run "Ultimate Juice" before you run Juice Defender. IT will pop up and say this is just a license, run Juice Defender or something like that.
@goddimus, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling already.
@kcarpenter, where would I run "Ultimate Juice" from 1st because it does not appear in my APPS screens?
The good news is that the default auto config certainly seems to be helping a lot with battery life. Need to test for longer, but 24hrs without charge and very moderate use.
i downloaded juicedefender and let it run in easy mode or w/e its called and didnt even get seven hours of battery life so i uninstalled it.
I'm really pleased with the results so far, I only want to know how to get control over the customizations it advertises. There is no response from the developer Latedroid.
When you think about it, it makes complete sense for the phone to not eat up battery when its not necessary. Its a stellar concept and checking around you can find some sort of similar apps.
Here is what I sent to Latedroid support:
Can I PLEASE get some help on how to customize Ultimate Juice Defender? Auto mode seems to work pretty good, but if I can squeeze more out of the battery based on personal profile, it will be even better. My fone is a Samsung EPIC (Galaxy S) The "WiFi" and "Schedule" icons and their settings for example seem grayed out and say "Do nothing" in the summary area. Only 4 of 9 features seem to be enabled in some way. I paid for Ultimate.
All I am asking for is an explanation of how to use the app. All of the documentation I find talks about what the app can do but nothing about how to configure each feature. What would be ultimately great is a new version of JD that actually has a much more usable and intuitive configuration UI.... or dare I say, more "normal" looking config UI.
I had to uninstall this app cause it was messing with my cpu clocks..

ultimate juice definetely rocks. on the stock rom.
after flashing baked 1.0 and installing UJ again, i lost 25% in 15 mins. uninstalled UJ, and i'm getting 12 hrs of heavy usage.
go figure....
I have been using juice defender with the UJ add on since I have had the phone with the suggested settings the first time you run the app. The only things I have edited are under the app setting I completely stopped google talk from sending or receiving data at any time. Also noticed that I use less batt when connected to a wifi network so I have locale handling turning my gps on and off when in known hotspots. Attached a screen shot of how JD is saving my batt.

cognitivel0gic, thanks for the feedback, but do you find that only some of the 11 options are configurable in your JD?
What I need, and reason I started this thread is to get some help understanding how to configure all JD options. In my JD view, things like WiFi, Timeout, Night do not allow making any adjustments.
Yes I purchased the Ultimate addon from the Market.
wow X2.36
the most i got was 1.76, how is that measured? are you getting x.8 more life than me or thats compared to your previous settings? is it relative?
@mmediaman
in response to your last post yes all of the options in juice defender allow me to edit them some of them like the standby option require a double click to edit
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
@OP....this may be an obvious question but on your JD settings screen does it say Enabled or Disabled?
If it is disabled that is the only way that I know that you won't be able to adjust your settings....If it is disabled, just click on that Disabled button to enable...
Hope this helps
I have a couple of questions about Juice Defender if someone could be so kind...
1) Is there really just no way to run Google Talk with this application?
2) I use the Google News & Weather app which refreshes every hour, last time i used JD, it prevented this from happening. Any workaround?
JD is Enabled (blue button with green ON light).
@cognitivel0gic, what Standby option are you talking about? I don't see anything that says Standby on my version. Are there different versions out there? From the Help button, mine says "Evolution 1.8.8 beta". I'm using JD on Samsung Epic (Galaxy S)
And what about that activity log I see in the help screen? Does that keep growing forever??? Is there ANY documentataion for this App?
Sorry by standby I was referring to the timeout option.

Instead of trying to uninstall apps, installing Magic Locker allows you to set power saving and this could be very helpful. In my case it doubled the battery life and I now have around 60% left in the evening.
Hope this helps.

There are a number of Apps you can install that will show running applications ~ SystemPanel is one such app.
It comes in two variant ~ Paid & Free.
The free version is okay for looking at what your apps are doing but it does not offer the same level of service that the paid version gives and in this case you do need the paid version.
Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.
However, for finding out what apps are using your battery you can do this with your phone's built-in settings.
Just navigate to Settings/Applications/Running Services and look at what apps are currently running.
If you don't need a particular app running simply tap on it and select 'Stop'.
Job done that is one app no longer running in the background.
Another option is to again go to Settings/Applications/Battery Usage.
Here you not only see the graph at the top but also a list of main running apps (note not all are shown).
Tap the graph at the top and it shows you various parameters i.e. when the screen was on and when the device was awake. Basically you need both to be the same. If the phone's screen was off but it remained awake you then have an app running constantly in the background.
So, press the back button and look at the list of apps showing. To terminate an app simply tap on it and this time select 'Force Close'.
Spend a little time now and again popping over to these two places (Running Services & Battery Usage) and you should be able to identify what app or apps are eating your battery.

Why not just kill those apps? Plus, so long as they aren't causing high battery drain it really doesn't matter. Some things like FB, GMaps, Email etc. just pop up randomly even when auto-sync is off, but normally they don't affect the phone much at all.
try Autorun killers
Try using autorun kill apps, i'm using "Autostarts" and it's good , it organizes apps by events so you can decide which periods you want to kill apps totally, like afterstartup, duringstartup, .... etc.
i killed google play, Maps and eMail and some apps that launch at startup and it works fine

A lot of things are going to start up by themselves, it depends what is set at start use an autostart profram to disable some. But even so, when you kill an app, it sometimes force starts again because well its supposed to. YOu have to go into that program and remove every background service from it in the settings menu if you can. Also some apps are placed in the "empty applications" OOM grouping.. Androids memory management is really hard to fully understand.. the apps in empty applications group are pretty pointless. They do nothing. No CPU usage. THere is a webpage which greatly explains what each group does and i dont remember where it is -.- sorry just google "Android OOM groupings explained" and it should get you some results
Thanks so much for the responses guys!appreciate it

Hi guys,
Firstly I am no expert, however I would like share my experiences and knowledge of battery saving tips. This is probably best suited to novices like myself and some tips maybe obvious to some, but hey if they are, try the next one!
Press the thanks button if this is useful.
Tip 1 :
Turn off wifi, GPS, Bluetooth - when not using it.
Tip 2 :
If you know that you're going to be in a bad reception area (has 0 bar) for awhile, turn ON airplane mode. If you let the radio keep on searching for a signal, then it's going to drain the battery. For example, I would do this when travelling on the tube in london.
Tip 3 :
Turn off google's location service, unless you need latitude. - Settings - Location Services - Turn off all 4 boxes.
Tip 4 :
Dim screen brightness, I like to use a widget called brightness level, mainly keep brightness on 25%. Screen brightness is a big culprit for battery drain.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...XJ2ZWZpc2gud2lkZ2V0cy5icmlnaHRuZXNzbGV2ZWwiXQ..
Tip 5 :
Disable apps you dont use, e.g. email and exchange servces. You can disable apps, by going into manage apps within settings. If rooted you can freeze apps, by using titanium backup.
Tip 6 :
Turn off backround data sync within apps. Apps such as Google currents, pulse etc, regulary download data in background, turn this off and manually download when you actually use the app.
Tip 7 :
If your a facebook user, uninstall the official facebook app as this is a big battery drainer, I prefer to use :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rcm0uZmJtIl0.
Tip 8 :
Use a black or dark wallpaper and theme apps/widgets dark where possible. Thanks to b-eock here are some dark wallpapers : LINK
Theres probably some more tips I've forgotten to add, but these are the main ones I follow.
Handy checklist, thanks.
At the risk of stating the obvious, there is another even more radical power saving measure possible:
If you are in a situation where you really only need to use the phone as a simple phone, then TURN OFF BOTH MOBILE DATA AND WI-FI COMPLETELY!
I know, people will say "but what's the point of having a smartphone", but as an example, at work my only use of the phone is to be contacted in emergency. It's so easy to toggle data, I often just switch it off.
You will find that with the latest firmware and data off, the battery life is truly amazing.
Agree mobile data does eat a lot of battery to and if your phone is just sitting there idle or you are in desperate need then turning it off could be an option.

It's a small point, but on AMOLED screens, it takes less power to produce black than anything else. If you're desperate to squeeze every ounce of battery out of your device, theme your apps darker, if you can.

I'm pleased for you, if one day you wanted to get even more battery life, at least you know what to do! How much on screen time do you get? Screenshots?
Using juice defender is easier and a more consequent method of achieving better battery life.
I used to do everything manually but it felt stupid because I kept repeating myself. Leaving the house: turn off this and that. Arrive at work turn on something else again.
Why have a computer and perform the tedious and repetisios task ourselves?

Good idea. Just a couple of points.
GPS uses no battery unless an application specifically is using GPS to locate you. In other words, it only uses power if its flashing away in the status bar.
No need to turn mobile data off when on wifi. The connection is not using power unless an MMS wants to come in.

thanks for the useful tips. Although my battery lasts most of the day also and it seems sometimes more frivilous to be turning apps on and off rather than to keep them all on and have your phone last a little shorter....

I'm only suggesting to disable apps you don't use such as email and exchange. As I only use gmail. The other point I made is to turn off background data. Classic example is Google currents. I just sync when I go into the app and have background data off which is a setting within currents.
