That's actually kind of strange. I figured the 1.5-2.0x was inaccurate since I only noticed a small increase in life, but the increase in life is still there. All it does is turn off connections when you're not using them, so I don't see how that could make life worse.
I think your battery/phone is trying to start conflict between us because whenever something comes up battery related, we have different experiences haha.

Lol yeah, it would be better if you got a ton of notifications every few minutes, but if there are times where you won't get any for hours on end, but juice defender keeps waking up your phone every 30 minutes to check for nothing, it's wasting battery.

EDIT - going to bed. 29 and a half hours into first charge, at 30% currently. Will update tomorrow after work, once I 0 it out and recharge.
EDIT - 44 hours on first charge, almost exactly. Monday night at 7:47 to Wednesday afternoon at 3:51. Starting charge up now.
Do you mind posting a few screenshots of your battery usage once your phone is almost completely discharged?
Those estimates aren't correct. My JD was telling me 1.9x battery, but I stopped using it and my battery lasts longer because the phone doesn't wake up every thirty minutes.

Well, if you don't let JD control AutoSync, then it shouldn't wake up every half hour, right?

Sorry I've been away. Had some personal stuff going on.
Sure. One thing I've noticed is that my idle time seems to be kind of high, but I guess since I'm sleeping 8 hour nights at least twice, that may account for some of it.
Also it's weird that Temple Run and Draw Something show up, yet Defender 2, which I spend the most time playing doesn't appear on my list at all.
Eh. Whatever.
I'm at 19% now, so I'll probably screenshot it a little later today and get it up here.
BMW doesn't make any sense to you because you're on the wrong graph. Long-press the graph and then "Select Data" and then "Available(%)". That way it'll show the graph you would normally see if you were accessing the stock battery graph in your phone settings, except without resetting every time you shutdown/recharge your phone.
Your battery definitely seems better than my 3500mAh one, but I'm pretty much going to use it the same way; I'll use the stock for normal days, and the extended whenever I know I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff without access to a charger.
Oh and before I forget, BMW is completely inaccurate in estimating the capacity of my extended battery. They both read around 1500, yet the extended lasts me about 33-35h on relatively heavy use (my normal usage plus a lot of GPS) while the stock lasts about 20h on normal usage. The extended clearly has over 150% of the capacity my stock has, but BMW displays it as almost identical. I think I'm doing something wrong, but there isn't really much you can do in the first place, so I really don't know what's responsible for these readings

Perfect! Thanks for the tip!
What's interesting to me is that after using it for a week, it finally started giving me estimates. But it estimated ~1800 mAh +/- 11%. But since it consistently gives me 36-44 hours of use, I'm going to say the battery is pretty close to "as advertised."
I can definitely say it doesn't report temperature. It's a constant "25.1" and we all know that's wrong.
I keep saying I'm going back to stock, but I haven't pulled it yet. lol.
do these require a different cover to compensate for the increased battery size or does it work properly with the stock cover?
someone mentioned the stock case acts as a gps antenna which with the new baseband and all i removed the back panel and kinda wondered "where" the connectivity to the phone was because i see plastic. also it locked fine without the back cover so not sure what to make of that.
