Juice Defender

---

I'm installing this as a last resort before sending my phone back. After hard reset and everything, battery is still a major drain.

For those that are using it, how well does it work? Which settings are you using?

I've only the free version for now but would consider upgrading if it does help?

Also, how do you prevent meebo from disconnecting when the screen turns off? Is that an option on the free version?

About Juice Defender, for me it worked with ~1.6x batterylife.

About Meebo: get Trillian, they made it for free this week. You stay connected even if your phone is off(for max of 1 day, changeable in settings) and you'll receive al the messages which came while your online the enxt time you login again. You can manage all your accounts on the PC with the regular Trillian program and then login on your phone with your Trillian account and all the accounts will be there. It is a real nice app with very low battery consumption.

The free version is very limited. I use the ultimate version and I'm rather happy with it. I don't want to schedule traffic when my phone is idle, but that would be a massive battery saver.

Yes, you can set different settings for each app in the paid versions. You can set a trigger that makes sure your internet is always on when meego is running, even when your screen is off.

But overall, I have no problem to use my phone for more than 12 hours on battery with moderate usage. Maybe you should send your device back anyway.

I had terrible battery drain as well but ive managed to resolve this. have you tried:

1. Deleting all social hub accounts?
2. Deleting your mail account if you use the stock mail app?
3. Updated to latest official firmware?

I was experiencing 10% idle drain per hour. Now i'm at 1-2%. Battery life is a huge improvement compared to my old desire. Dont guve up on this phone.

In my experience standard battery drain per hour should be

1~2% screen off / data off
3~5% screen off / data on
12~15% screen on / data off
18~20% screen on / data on

WiFi uses less battery than 3g but as you can see display is main problem...

1. I froze all Samsung-related apps and accounts with Titanium Pro
2. I'm using the Gmail stock app. Is that bad?
3. I updated to KE2 and hard reset twice
4. I also froze the wifi apps

when my phone is idle overnight - screen off and not in 'awake', it dropped from 100%-56% in 7.5 hours. i posted a screenshot in another thread.

Sounds like you need to clear your battery history, leave it over night, then check what's been using it overnight to me.

I have 5-10% drop at most overnight (7 hours or so).

thanks. how would i clear battery history? is that under setting -> applications -> running ?

Also try clearing data on the software update app. That appeared to work for some people. U definitely have a rogue app eating your battery... Can you give us a list of your running processes immediately after you restart?

So after using Juice defender ultimate for a couple weeks now, with the customizable apps configuration, I see no improvement in battery life.

I lost 50% charge overnight with just push email on (stock gmail app), only synching email and contacts.

For those with this app, what configurations are you using to improve the battery?
