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.

In my case I chose MIUI but I think any theme should work as well. After installation it asked if I wanted to activate the battery saving mode which I accepted to check its performance as I was having battery drain as well and needed a solution.
I was happily surprised the next day. I hope all these issues are fixed by Samsung in ICS.

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.

Lockscreen is lightish blue, and homescreen is live wallpaper.
So it seems, I go against all this tip LMAO. Battery still last a whole day for me.
I hate turning things off and putting phone in airplane mode and all these tips to save battery. The S3 has a capable enough battery. Just use your smartphone to the fullest.
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.

Well, if battery drain is your problem, then don't use a task killer -- that'll just be compounding the issue. As for how to deal with your battery drain, I've heard some reports about how turning off Facebook sync worked for some people.
Another option would be getting Watchdog Task Manager by Zomut from the Play Store (I've used it myself). It's not the typical task killer since rather than monitoring RAM, it instead keeps an eye on CPU usage (which is what causes battery drain) and notifies you when an app consumes too many CPU cycles and let's you decide whether to kill that app. It should also allow you to set a CPU threshold for certain apps, and autokill when the app exceeds that threshold.

Autorun Manager is a bit difficult to use for new users. u ll have to search for boot receivers and network change receivers among the receiver list for a particular app. if u disable an imp receiver then it ll forbid the app from running. so be careful. or else u can use other managers like Lidroid toolbox or Rom toolbox which are easy to use. Cheers

which toolbox did u use? u should have USB debugging turned on
The whole debate surrounding task killers are stupid. Our phones have low memory and we are running custom built roms on our devices which tend to require more from our hardware in the case of ICS.
I like the ES TaskManager/File Explorer combo, has a nice task manager, autostart feature and apk backups.
There seem to be so many who wants to get the best battery life from their Note 2 so i thought of making this small guide to help them

For rooted users and non-rooted users, but rooted users have the advantage here as they can use 3rd party apps like bloat freezers and titanium backup.
I don't recommend deleting system apps permanently from the system due to the fact that if you accidentally uninstal an important system app it could create system force closes ect.. But if you freeze the apps you don't want then you can always de-freeze them whenever you want and it's very safe and could be handy at times.
For root users i recommend titanium backup to freeze and De-Freeze applications
For non-root users > Just go to settings>Application Manager>All ( select the app you want and Select "Disable") , this is also like freezing apps using titanium backup but the apps you can freeze are limited due to the fact that you don't have root permission but still you can freeze more than 70% of the apps to free some ram and save some battery

Now install Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
and add all the applications you installed to the apps Greenifing(hibernating) list so they will only run when you actually won't them to run and after u turn off the screen they will automatically force close But remember not to put your widgets or apps you use very often to like whatsapp , viber ect... as they will not give you notifications or update as they will be forced close by greenify along with all the other apps.

If you want to do more to get the best performance from your device and if you're willing to take an extra step forward , try this app too "Fast Reboot" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot This wil not reboot your phone but will perform a quick system refresh like as in windows, Just try and see

If you want to go extra further saving battery and ram and using a rom with minimum bloat but with Spen features , Try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462614 .. about 95% of the bloat is removed but still very stable and smooth with root and everything (570MB rom). try that and install greenify. you should get around 18h phone usage under moderate use and if you're extra careful with the apps you use and know how to work em out you can get more than 1 day usage

Note-
>when you turn off sync it will not sync your contacts with google so i don't recommend it but if you want, you can do it and then do backups manually
More tips from Nitol
- turn motion off
- display brightness always auto
- use blackish/dark wallpaper
- sync always off, turn on when needed
- don't use vibration
- don't clear memory/ram from task manager
- do battery calibration in proper way after flashing a rom

A FULL LIST OF ALL THE APPS YOU CAN FREEZE ON STOCK 4.3 IS NOW ADDED IN THE ATTACHMENTS (BELOW THIS POST)
Real screenshots from my phone. The last picture is the ram usage after the freezing. (this was right after i flashed the stock rom and frozen the apps. so this could change depending on your rom setup
Thanks for a detail thread, but why are you saying the music.apk(music player) is a bloatware? Rest all at the list are fine. But if all the 'allshare' files are removed, then 'screen mirroring' (on n3 moded rom) will not work. Could you please add some more explanation about removing which file may stop other things to work?
Thank you so much again for the effort.
Regards.

Thanks,...and not only removing bloatwares/greenifying some apps, some more guidelines should be added, like-
- turn motion off
- display brightness always auto
- use blackish/dark wallpaper
- sync always off, turn on when needed
- don't use vibration
- don't clear memory/ram from task manager
- do battery calibration in proper way after flashing a rom
- avoid widgets, cause every widget has service(s) always running in background
...some more, can't remember right now.
And it should be universal, recommendation for specific rom is contradictory with the purpose of the thread.

music.apk/music2.apk is for google play music. you can remove it or move (install) to data/app, or install form play store to save more ram.

and for the OP, its better to explain the use of each apk's. so we know that we really need or not needed so we can safely remove all/partially of them.

On KitKAT google play music is 'music2.apk' not music.apk. these things should be described. And I know these remove/freeze/move/install things mate ☺.

sorry mate, just try to help, i think there is no music.apk in 4.3 + (if Im not mistaken) music2.apk upgraded music.apk version.
yes, the op should describe, not only link it to another thread. i totally agree with you @nitol
Hi,
Thanks for guide and help but I wonder what usability of device will be left if all these apps are frozen. I guess my approach is little better (you may check my signature)
He said freeze/disable not remove. anyway nice guide but need some specification.

I wasn't talking about comparison. I meant by being "safer". There's gonna be many who would just freeze/disable all these and flood various threads that "this app/feature is not working" or "that stopped working" like WiFi Direct, DLNA, Email, Weather, etc. I meant by that.

ofc not, my point is, if your app is frozen, you can defrost if you need to use it, unlike removing your app, which is totally removed permanently. i think you can clearly understand now lol

Well for your 1st point
not everyone use the stock Music player on their devices right .. including me .. and that's the reason why i named music.apk as a bloat so u can keep it freezed where it won't run in background as it does
And the all share files and screen mirror, not everyone use those features also right? i mean it's not like we use those features daily. so why give ram to that when we can just keep it frozen and de-freeze it when we actually use it ?
Same goes with wifi direct if u ask me
just de-freeze it when you wnna use it so that way we have more ram and can get a good battery life ultimately
it doesn't take much time to defreeze few apps right so it's a small price to pay in order to get a good battery life with more free ram.
well it might be just the way i see it. but it's working pretty good for me.. hope it does for you all .. that's why i shared this

As i replied to nitrol, we don't use wifi direct like every day and that's why i said it's ok to freeze it to get some more Juice
just de-freeze it when u wanna wifi direct and that's it .. it costs some time but that's worth it i guess when compared with the battery an ram u save . that's just the way i see i guess

don't freeze everything i've mentioned here, just freeze what you don't use. You can guess what app you're freezing when you read the name , if you don't know what the app is when you read the name it's just a system fine that we don't use or don't need so just freeze and see what happens but i assure no force closes or any other errors will come, but if any errors pop .. just de-freeze the frozen apps and see. You will get a good battery life and more free ram after freezing these apps.
