Is anyone using Juice Defender to help with their battery life?

I am. I have the paid version and I'm very pleased with it.

I am trying the free beta version and I am at 1.05x. Not very compelling to make me go out and buy it. I have it set as the Default as I couldn't get some of the features (like WiFi) to be enabled and figured it would take care of it on it's own.

I am using Juice Defender and it is not working as well as I would have hoped.

I tried it a couple months ago and had problems with it turning off my data while I was using apps. Very frustrating. Uninstalled.

Moved the Juice Defender discussion out of this thread, and moved to its own. A worthwhile discussion, but a little off topic from that thread.

Sorry... My bad!

You can make exceptions for apps you would use with the screen off eg Pandora

No need to apologize. I'm sure there's a number of threads where I've done the same thing

I tried it, and didn't like it. Not only would it take a few minutes to re-start the data, I was having issues using google maps; it wouldn't lock onto the signal well.

A few crashes afterwards it got the ol delete

I think I have come to the following conclusion.
Coming from the BB world I was used to getting 2+ days out of my Storm. I knew that Android phones have "issues" with battery times but I decided to make the jump anyway. I am so glad I did and I am not looking back! Just like any newer technology, it needs time to evolve and I am sure that Androids are no different. Luckily for me I am (almost) always near a charger so it won't be an issue. I am going to stop with allthese battery apps and accept my phone for what it is. I love my phone and this community!

I bought a spare battery/charger and never even think about it.
