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.

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.

Everything is set to sync and working in the background. nothing is done manually on my phone. gReader is set to sync every hour pulling images and snippets. BeWeather is set to sync every 6 hours. Built in lockscreen weather is set to sync every 3 hours. I have some other stuff with push notifications too.

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?

Not saying I get the most optimum battery life, but it gets me through a day. I get around 2 hour screen time and 19+ hours. I just like to keep every on for convenience.
I will post a screen shot when I deplete my battery.

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.
battery saving tips
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.

Tis a good tip. Actually, rooted users with the latest Siyah kernel can tap home 4 times and do this too.

That's not good life at all. You just let it set there... 2 hours of screen time for a 19+ hour day... I can get over about 60 Hours with 5+ hours of screen time easily

can anyone recommend a good one for the nexus
I am using light flow light at the moment but seem to be getting lots of what i can only call 'miss reads' as the led flashes green for no reason. I mean that there is no email received or anything else to cause it to light up as far as i can see.
so.....are there any others you can recommend i try....i want it mainly for missed calls and email (k9)

I'm using light flow and haven't had any issues so far. Have you checked through all the notifications? There are lots of things the led can come on for eg signal loss, charging battery etc
I'm using LightFlow and it works pretty well, but it seems like the latest version is really bad about dismissing the light notification even after the app has been entered. Specifically with the Messages app. Does it on my Galaxy Nexus, too.
+1 LightFlow, haven't noticed the issue you've experienced...though only had a few days. I'll keep an eye out.

Seems its linked to the k9 notification as when I dissabled this the the led stopped flashing. When enabled it was back to flashing all the time and not just as if it was a new email received.

Have you followed the "hint" for k9 to change a setting in k9 to stop this happening.
Thinking about it, since I wrote the k9 notification I may be able to filter this issue out in future versions without changing that setting.
Also the lightflow debugger widget it handy for tracking down issues like this as it'll list which notifications the app thinks are on.

Google apps syncing are battery hoggs, especialy Chrome bro. Also Loaction service uses lot of power. I always have gps turned off unless i need it.
Well, I always have my gps off... I sync fewest things as possible, just the basic stuff...
Same settings as my old S3, but the S3 had a much better battery life.
Still trying to figure out why device idle is hogging my battery.

Just got my new note4 after playing with the iP6, as I do like using multiple devices to have good knowledge on most devices, but here is one issue I ran into. I have the dunkin donuts app installed (easier than carrying a card) and it works great. 3 nights ago a txt from the app came in at 3:35am with a good sale (something I didn't need to wake up to). 2 nights later at 1am another one.
So, I don't want to silence ALL notifications as I have SMS alerts from my datacenter, etc. so I am looking to see is there an app that will silence some apps or services, or specific things based on time/day?
Thanks
I would disable notifications from specific apps permentanrly. You can do that from application manager. You can also configure blocking mode to allow certain numbers (not sure about sms).

[SOLVED]
I saw that while looking around but it's show notifications, and I didn't realize the show really meant don't notify vs show.
Thanks for the quick and simple fix.
Give Tasker a shot. It might look a bit complicated in the beginning but there are a lot of threads and wiki pages which will help you get going.
