[Q] Juice defender

[mrg2003]

I used juice defender free, and got 1.9x savings. Bought the premium, and it worked for a while, now I get consistent battery drain, worse than before, it seems to have discharged idle down to 16% today.

I asked their support and they said read the faq!, which doesn't answer the question.

Does anyone have saved config settings for nexus 4 for
aggressive, extreme and custom they would like to share?

Juice Defender uses up far more battery than it "saves" and creates a ridiculous amount of instability on your phone. A guaranteed way to achieve significant improvement in your phone's battery life & stability is to uninstall Juice Defender, along with any task-killer apps you are running.

It's bad enough you got gypped into paying for it--but you may as well cut your losses here.

They haven't updated the app for years! I think they pretty much abandoned the project. So there's no support for newer devices. All they do is cut off connections when you don't need it. You can do that yourself.

Use Automate It instead. Takes a little more to set up but works flawlessly.

Yeah the app used to be good but it's rubbish now. Using it would actually drain more battery than it saves. You can see from the battery usage graph that every time the app turns on your data connection, it forces your phone into the awake state which wastes a lot of battery. You are better off leaving data on all the time.

IMO it was never any good--it interrupts system apps repeatedly which only caused them to "attempt" to start up over and over thereby consuming more battery than if Juice Def were never installed on the phone. It was like a task-killer on steroids; a pricey example of the placebo effect that does way more harm than good.
