Well I've been using Juice Defender for half a year on two different phones. How much battery it can save you is debatable. So long as you don't have excessive SNS polling and partial wake data usage problems of some sort, it's not going to net you much of anything.
I was an ardent user of this app, but the last week running without it at all (running Bionix Final JI2 modem) compared to the first couple of days running this firmware I can say with confidence it's not needed for me any longer. I'd even go so far as to say I've been a victim of ye olde placebo effect.
If you don't have the pro version the automatic defaults are about as good as it gets. Best of luck.

Personally I had worse battery life with JD, I would stay away from it.

Get Tasker instead. It can do anything JD does and WAY more. JD worked for me, but it caused the stock ROM to run a but sluggish.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

The main thing the JD does it seems, at least by default settings, are two things. First, by default it disables your APN connection (3G/2G) when battery falls below 15%. I've disabled this, I keep an eye on my battery anyway. The other thing by default is by far the better of the two. By default, it turns on your APN connection for 1 minute once every 15 minutes for a duration of 1 minute. By default, that's all this app really does, and it doesn't need to ping the CPU as it sits between 0.0% and 0.1% CPU utilization as reported by Watchdog.
I'm not advocating the use of this app nor am I claiming this will even save battery life, but given the knowledge of what its default settings do, I'm of the belief that having your APN turned off for a substantial part of the day will increase battery life between charges.

For completely non-technical users, JD is the way to go. However, with just a teeny more effort you can do WAY more than JD is capable of doing. Stock firmware with JD I could get up to about 14 hours of battery life. This is doing a bunch of texts, reading gmail, and getting Exchange mail via touchdown. With Bionix Fusion, J12 modem, not using JD, and keeping the phone in 2G and not 3G I can get significant battery life as the image below shows.
At the time this shot was taken, I was down to 15% battery and 4 hours according to Juice Plotter.

I been using with the Bionix 'core' kernal and it's giving me decent battery as opposed to no defender where battery life was not good at all. seems to work as advertised, i charged my phone 4 hours ago and it's at 100% (but didn't use for any calls yet) . Otherwise it would be at 92% or so without JD. Mileage will vary

Well, I think people are ascribing too much mysticism into what JD is really doing. With its default installation left intact, it simply shuts your 3G (APN) radio off when the phone becomes relocked (screen off), just as your wifi connection shuts down when the screen turns off. While the phone is locked, JD turns the 3G radio back on for a minute once every 15 minutes. That's it. There's really no magic. So, if you think having your 3G radio turned off automatically every time you shut the screen off sounds like it might save your battery, then it probably will.

i saw in the tasker wiki there are two profiles... from those two profiles, it seems like to "recode" jd with tasker might be a hard task for a tasker newbie like me...
any suggestions or hints to enhance the wiki profiles?

Make your own settings. Its best to customize it yourself! I'm not sure what you use (ie. Bluetooth,wi fi, or gps).

I use JD and not noticed alot and an app that should be used is superdim to dim your screen backlight even more than settings let you and also found i had few apps that are using more power than my screen so its all about apps installed and way there all configured so Milage may vary by hours between phones so unless your phone is set up exact same way as another device thats the same dont expect all to be 1 day battery + is battery life really all that confusing

Show us your battery life!

It seems as though battery life is one of the most common topics among us vibrant owners. We are always looking to increase battery life, whether it be with a new rom, new kernels, or apps from the market. I wanted to start this thread for everyone to share their experiences, tricks of the trade, etc on getting the best battery life.
Post pictures, rom info, kernel info, app info, modem info, battery info etc! No pic, no proof!!!
This is the best I have been able to get with my phone with:
Bionix 1.3.1 - Stock kernel - KB1 modem - TW launcher - auto brightness off, set about 2 clicks from the left - battery calibration app used at 100% - Stock battery. Light / Light moderate usage, phone calls, texts, web searches. GPS on.

Well, this is great battery life you got there For me 24h is the most I can squeeze from my Vibrant with Project V/Bullet 1.42 kernel, auto brightness off, moderate usage. 16h with heavy usage... It's fully charged now so I don't have pics to show it

i used around 5% with in an hour with somewhat heavy usage this is cm7 nightly 71 bali with uv

srdjav - have you tried bali uv? I heard it works really well, especially with bi-winning, but I have heard great things about it on all different types of roms

gamikzone - impressive for cm7, I have read horror stories that the battery life on it wasn't all that great...but I guess with the kernel script and bali, it's way better!

@corpsetomb
Yes, I did tried Bali... But honestly, didn't see much difference in battery life. I have tried 4 different kernel on Project V and battery life was always 16-24h, depends of the usage. With extremely heavy usage 16h... So i decided to stay with Bullet 1.42.
But I didn't try Bi-Winning ROM yet... Maybe I will give it a try
But I had very bad experience with Super_DragonMODz 1.5 kernel... For a few hours everything was ok. But in one moment I picked up a phone after doing nothing for a half an hour and it was HOT! And I could smell "burning" inside Luckily when I took battery out and let the phone cool down, it was ok

Can we see pictures not words :/

haha what is this, a courtroom?
truly, none of this matters. one big factor in battery life is application use. in order to pinpoint someones battery usage, one would have to list, in detail, their application usage. which/how many apps poll for background data/how often? is the person using an autokiller/ram optimizer? which/how many apps stay open in the background, even when killed?
The bottom line is, battery life is ultimately determined by the user. there are only so many differences, in terms of battery, between these roms and kernels. none of them will give you a SIGNIFICANT difference. this is not the fault of the devs, they are not magicians.
This is why people do not get nice responses in rom/kernel threads when they ask "how is the battery life?". Then some clown who is a very light user will say "its great! i get 20hrs per cycle!!" and then you flash it expecting ground-shaking results...only you forgot that you have 317 apps on your phone (20 of which are constantly poll/checking for background data), and you use your phone/data like a whore who youll never see again. and unfortunately, there are horrible noobs out in there who, after doing this, will actually go back into the thread and say something like "DO NOT FLASH, MY BATTERY DOESNT EVEN LAST 8 HRS!!!!"
Theres only one true way to REALLY compare battery between ROMs/kernels (and it still isnt 100%trustworthy): download a ROM, try it out for a few days at moderate usage. Then flash the one you want to compare it to. Make sure you have the SAME exact setup as the ROM before (apps, brightness, GPS on/off, background data, etc.), and try to mimmick your usage with the other one. NOW you can effectively determine, relatively, which ROM may show better battery results for everybody. and then, when someone asks "does this have good battery?" you dont just say yes; you say "yes, i have seen noticeable improvement since coming from _______ rom, i about ___hrs more per full charge "
sorry for the rant

@TopShelf10
No worries, I welcome your input! I agree that a big factor in battery life is application use. You will see in the OP that I recommended people put in as much detail as possible along with their picture, such as what type of use, kernel, rom, etc. I would also like to hear and see comparisons between roms, that is part of what this thread is all about! To be able to compare different roms and see what helps based on usage.
Thank you for participating and your input!
Note: Do you guys think I should start a list of best battery life in the op?

I know this but anyone can say I got 24hrs show me me proof

You can manipulate the battery use stats pretty easily... at least on CM7. If I plug my phone in to charge for an hour, it doesn't reset my battery usage. Sometimes when I look at it it will say 24 hours+. Which I know is not at all accurate.

Battery lifr

Hi understand should post in dev section unfortunately haven't got enough posts.
Hi all. Just wonder why my battery life is not that great as a lot of ppl claiming. I m using latest codename with latest matr1x cna kernel cpu is set min 100 max 1200 and ondemand governor. Yesterday my battery only last me about 10hrs where i had made about 10 phonecalls send/read 5-10 emails browse xda forum and read bit if news.any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Well even with your slight over click that is contributing to lower battery life, get rid of some used apps. Check sync settings so all social media apps. Even if to don't use Google Walker go in and set it up, I read that it does eat up battery. Or if you don't plan on using Google wallet just remove it
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

My battery didn't really start improving until I started thinking about data and syncing. I am using AOKP ROM and its power save option. When my screen turns off, my data turns off. I have not had any issues or delays and my battery has been fantastic. If you don't want to change ROMS (I am fiercely loyal to mine) then the Green Power app will do the same thing. I also have changed all widgets and gmail to update every 4 hours. SG-NS4G kernel has been great for battery. Hope this gives you a starting point. Having to worry about your battery sux.

Also as previously stated change your CPU settings I am set to 100/800 but even 100/1000 would be easier on your power consumption. I have not suffered any significant performance losses with daily use.

Numerous kernel and rom developers state the opposite - overclocking can conserve battery by the race to idle theory. Check the kernel benchmark thread for data.
I myself used to underclock and undervolt, but I've experienced fantastic results running Steve Garon's 1.14 kernel at 100/1100mhz with the interactive governor and standard voltage (although this kernel is pre-configured with a 900mV floor).
AOKP Milestone 2, Steve Garon 1.14 kernel at the settings described above resulted in a best of 50hrs with nearly 4hrs of screen on time.
My average is 25-30hrs with 4-5hrs of screen time, with the stock 1440mah battery.

When I had an iPhone 4, My battery life was amazing with all social networking apps.. Facebook, Twitter, Path, Tumblr..(I had atleast 10 hours with heavy use) I'm trying to understand why as to all these social networking apps have a huge issue with Android.. Is this just strickly developer of the social networking app's issue?

Thanks guys i think my problem was that my battery hasn't been calibrated after flashing new ROM . Once calibrated and fully discharged then fully charged seems to be alright. I left my phone all night unplugged with wifi on screen turned off and only lost about 2% .

Defy Battery Issue

So I successfully installed Cynogenmod 7.2 but the 99% battery thing is pissing me off. Yes I did use BatteryCalibrator and also tried deleting the battery file through advanced option via CWM.
But I still have the 99% battery thing. Whenever my cell reaches 100% and I unplug it and it goes to 99 instantly too. Any help? I seached almost everything but no help.

Do you have baterry drops while using? Like from 30% to 15% ? Cause i've found that and that's not cool
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

Hi guys, I wouldn't accuse ROM or kernel, more I wouldn't bother too much, till I do not have to charge twice a day.
I have the same issues with two different phones at home, different kernels and different ROMs. Though I tried batt calibration and CWM wipe, it does not help. Both phones never reach 100% - go to 99% even if you charge for several hours then.
Sometimes I have 7% drop per 8 hours, sometimes 5% in 20 minutes - both cases only 2G is working (and of course some mess in background ;-)). I would rather accuse some applications working in background. Anyway rebooting helps.
For the case of sudden drop by 15% - do you have any task killer killing your batt widget? Or, may be, your battery widget is refreshed once per hour or so? Just proposals to check. (it is funny when task killer kills your clock widget - might be a lot of fun when you suddnely find you are two hours late. Know such case)

The 100% to 99% when you unplug is not a problem. its because when it calculates the battery "%" it always takes the lower value
Example:
Battery level is 80.9 -> shows 80
Battery level is 99.999999999 -> it shows 99!
that is not a bug

Mine is also having this problem. Jumps from 30% to 20% instantly if the phone has been fully charged. However if I only charge it to 50% it does not jump.

WHen i used CM7 or CM9, there was no drop. But when i use MUIU Pikachu, i have drop ! from 70-49%

NOw i am using wiui and cant charge more than 81% ( defy plus )

Mine also drops instantly to 99% after unplugging, however it does not seem to affect the functionality of my phone. I got usually 40ish hours with ms2ginger4 and now I am testing it with quarx ics 0413 defy+ build to see what that drain is.
Also every time I install a new rom I use.

Works great for battery charge issues

Well in my case the problems came when I started changing roms frequently ... bought defy around September last year, started the custom rom changing week after purchase ( rom changing frequency was about a different a week ) ... and battery skips started happening around December . .... and from then m always searching for a solution to it ..... unsuccessfully

HTC One 4.2.2 Update UK

I just updated my HTC One yesterday and the battery drain is ridiculous. I took my phone off the charger at 6am today and watched some of a film listened to a bit of music and sent texts as usual and phone went dead at 2pm !
Usually it would last till 6pm with heavy usage but since the update the battery life has deteriorated.
My phone is less than a week old and overall really impressed with it till now.
Anyone else having this issue and can suggest a fix?

You may need to give it a few days and a couple of battery cycles to settle itself down again. Try installing Greenify to 'hibernate' running services in the background and BetterBatteryStats to monitor kernel wakelocks and what's using your battery in general..

I am not rooted at present. I see no need with the new phones coming out.
Hopefully the next cycle will improve as at present I can see the battery percentage decrease far to quickly.

Sorry, forgot Greenify was root only.. BetterBatteryStats would help identify any strange kernel wakelocks though

Have you turned auto-sync on and for all apps that are listed?
I noticed an extremely improvement in battery consumption when deactivating sync for few apps.

Dude, might as well switch it off...
Battery drain is definitely higher after the update. Frankly not a great update at all...

Agreed. Just downloaded green power premium from play store and juice defender ulitimate lets see if they can help. I like to have auto brightness a d to use my phone so this update is bugging me (((

For me the 4.2.2 update has improved my battery life.
Everything completely stock, get about 35-40 hours battery life (100% to ~1%) with 2 to 4 hours on screen time. Obviously depending on what you do with that screen on, will dictate just how much battery life you use. But for me, usually browsing, reading, watching YouTube. Dont really game or do anything massively intensive.
Also everything on stock normal, (locations, gps, auto sync, blinkfeed, etc).
As I said depending on what you do with your phone, your battery life with on screen time will increase/decrease. Also whether you use it as a smartphone (all sync etc on) or reduce it to a phone (2g, power saver, screen dimmed, etc) makes a huge difference.

I'm working in dark rooms so why keeping display brightness not at minimum? And on most places I only got 2G network, so why not forcing the phone to only use this?
And sync... Yeah... I don't need the weather to be updated every hour... Or news... They're appearing on my BlinkFeed anyways...
And I'm using my phone as a smartphone as well Over 6 hours screen on time is mostly Facebook, WhatsApp and browsing.

I though we moved on from doing all this crap.
Why can't android manage battery like windows does or even better htc work with Google and sort the issue.
All I know is before this update I had ok battery life now I have extremely poor life. I would suggest it's the update.

100% agree with you..now the phone charges quicker but it discharges quicker too.. yes i did hard reset, autosync etc etc.. no change of my usage patterns, i now get half the usage..
dont know why htc just didnt go straight to 4.3 as this significantly improves battery life..4.2 acrosss the board was a bad update.

Anyone tried the Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru app?

Had the same issue after official ota. Tried a hard reset but didn't work. Then I unlocked bootliader and switched to maximus 10 Rom and I'm back in the game!
