Battery Tip

[Randomhero180]

I know everyone is complaining about the battery life.

I downloaded the juice defender app in the android market and even just running the 'balanced' profile my phone lasts longer then a day.

I would recommend trying it for at least a day or two.

Love it.

Ive seen people recommend against juice defender but i just tried the free version today it seems to have made a pretty noticable difference. I took my phone off the charger this morning and im still at 70% at midnight. I didnt use the phone a whole lot. Will see how it does tomorrow when i go to work. I know it turns data off when the screen off but it seems to turn data back on every 5 mins or so to check for emails and updates.

here is a tip, get rid of the yahoo mail app. ever since i installed it ( last week), i woke up to a dead battery every morning, even when going to bed at 100 percent.

uninstalled and boom, back to great battery life

If you ask me... the poor battery life has 99% to do with the radios. I know, not a shocker. I was up in Westchester, NY yesterday, in a bit of a less populated area and my battery was horrific. The signal was pretty poor and I guess I was in an area where the phone didn't know whether to connect to 4G or 3G. Before I knew it, I was down to like 50%. I turned off Mobile Data completely, but it was probably too late. I feel like it was getting way too hot also yesterday. I was outside all day and I feel the heat destroyed battery life also.

I've tried to use Juicedefender in the past, but wasn't sure I noticed much of a difference. I've also used Tasker to try to replicate the on/off actions that I thought Juicedefender does. Well, just put back Juicedefender today and am now using the Ultimate version. Have it set pretty basic right now, might tweak it if I see any sort of life by end of day.

if your data (particularly 4g) is running well, not going out of wack and using a lot of juice, then running juice defender will probably not help too much. if your data is running out of whack then shutting it off when the screen is off will save battery. also, i've had another problem where the idle would be around 150ma or more with the screen and data off. in this case, running juice defender won't help. just a conjecture, but it is also possible that sometimes when the data is being toggled between 4g/3g/1x/off (either manually or with an app like juice defender, it triggers something in the system that causes a high system drain. This is an intermittent problem, and usually, a restart will fix it. but some people have this intermittent problem, just coincidentally running juice defender, and blame juice defender for killing their battery life.
