Default Juice Defender

Is anyone using it for their Prime and if so, what settings do you suggest?

Can't see a reason to bother. Battery life is pretty phenomenal without messing with it.

If you have a dock it's even better.

If you want better battery life, just turn off your wifi when you put it to sleep. The only thing that really eats up data is wifi and cell data (which we dont have)

Yeah, Juice Defender is not going to do anything for a non-3G/cellular device. JD works by shutting down the 3G antennas for periods of time, so it won't work if you don't have 3G.

I will say that I have learned to just leave my prime on power saving mode and let the internal core-switching take care of itself. I have the keyboard as well, and I only charge the pair a couple of times a week.

I have being using Juice Defender on my Samsung Galaxy S 2 for 1 year by now and its doing a great job there, so once I got my hands on the Prime, I installed it there.

It didnt do any much difference, the Prime already manages the power surprisingly well. The battery lasts with me for about 2 days of heavy usage with torrent working most of the time.

But if you still wants to use it, I set the JD to the advanced mode, pretty much everything that come as default I didnt touch but I set to toggle the wireless at 10kbs/30 secs

The options that makes the big difference are Cell data stuff and we dont have it so not much what to do there anyway


I found setting the prime on power saving good enough though. IMHO what can help out the battery pushing it to last ever further is a custom firmware like Cyanogen which I hope to see it in the future. Or some small bug fixes from Asus.
