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.

Hello, glad you did the /init fix but your the first person to say you still have lag..I use auto memory and i noticed an improvement straight away...i set it to aggressive and then slid the bottom three....
Hidden Application
Content Provider
Empty Application
back down to half way so they are on 70mb
The top three are set as follows..
Foreground - 6mb
Visible Application - 12mb
Secondary Server - 16mb
Now press apply .... You need to be rooted for this (which Im sure you know) but thought I'd say for anyone else looking at this thread.
Now I cant say these are 100% the best settings but for me the phone is flying with 0 lag and these settings seem about right... I found set on the aggressive setting some apps were closing way to early..
Let me know if this helps...

By the way, can you tell me what app you use to change the above setting?? It's not that I have the lag issue, but if there is anything I could try to tweak for better speed, I am definitely interested.

Its the auto memory manager by mad squrriel ...free on the android market.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have tried all of the best memory managers on market, sure it feels a littlebit faster when you start to use it, but after a while it doesnt feel good any more.
I dont know if it gets better after this "lagfix" with the usb debug, but it's still appkillers, and with froyo 2.2 i have learned that the system works best without any of those appkillers on market or so called memory enhancement programs. Just my experience.
Battery seems to be getting hammered since installing it and using 'aggressive', not certain if it's this though.

I just switched over from WM, because of the battery life i don't like to leaving date on. When i would click for anything that required data it would automatically turn on Ex. Internet, Shazam... is there any setting, widget, or app that can do that with android
Try Juice Defender, it will save your battery in alot of ways, including automatically turning off your data when you arent using it, in fact you might want to get the pay version of it if you like the way the free version helps your battery. Remember, you buy pay apps, they can be used from build to build, so buy it once, u get it for every build u run. Well worth it imo
+1 for Juice Defender.
Also, Tasker is an amazing app that allows you to create your own automator actions. So you can create an action that turns on data when you launch certain apps and turn it off when you exit. Its really powerful and does so much more than I can even describe here, you really have to just try it. It is a paid app, but well worth it. It takes some practice/learning, but sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for.

So in order to try and solve my battery probs I installed CurrentWidget, its working in that it is recording and creating a log file but I have some questions.
1. In the screen shot on the app page it shows a widget on the home screen, mine is just the app launcher and not a widget displaying battery current, how do I show the present current on screen without having to view the log.
2. How do I start a new log.
3. Assuming the above works, how do I view old logs.
Ta
1.Press on homescreen and select add widget and then currentwidget
2. Just delete or rename older logs. I usually keep a log for a day, then delete it sdcard/currentwidget.log

A bit off-topic, but I found a really good article on battery charging last night. Hope it helps some people.

Search the market for a file manager app, my favorite is ES File Explorer. I think it has a built-in text file viewer.

As an update in another article someone mentioned in another post regarding monitoring battery life a Currentwidget that after applying an update his battery life improved dramatically, so in for a penny in for a pound I updated my OS and low and behold today has been a lot better.
I plugged my phone in last night and reached 03:35am my charge current dropped to 0mA meaning the battery had reached full charge, even though it said 100% since 02:35.
Unplugged it at 09:38 and have been using the phone on and off all day camera, switching WiFi on and Off to web browse/email etc, have also been using Mobile Data.
its now 19:26 and the phone is at 78% so that's a heck of a lot better.
I have Wifi off and only switch it on when required, I have also switched off mobile internet and may consider switching it back on as its a pain having to switch it on whenever I want email, weather, freinds Stream update et al.
Anyone now a guide showing what the recommended settings for a HTC android phone are?
Preacher65 - That's a very informative article and makes sense but I would love to know why before I updated the phone why my battery was so Cr**..
If you've applied the OTA update, or flashed a ROM based on it, there are said to be improvements to battery life in the new version. I'm getting nearly as good battery life out of my phone now, with a 1.72 based ROM but the stock kernel, as I was using an under-volted kernel on a 1.32 based ROM. Hopefully there will be a 1.72 compatible UV kernel out soon, and I'll get even more.
I think everyone on the new version is reporting better battery life. With luck it'll get even better when HTC give us their version of Gingerbread.
I've also been using Juice Defender to control wifi, 3G, etc. and it's worked well for me.

Why is it hard to switch mobile internet on/off? You can add a widget to your home screen that does that.

Try Badass Battery Monitor
Look for Samsung Push Service in your apps list and un-install it!
If you use Samsung Apps, this program is automatically installed and stays active, won't let your phone go to sleep!

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.
