Data Network Mode = Battery helper?

[Doopa0ne]

Ever since I got this phone I've been trying all kind of ways to improve my battery. I recently noticed some people on here disable data mode when they are not using it. I have never thought about doing that. Those who do this, has it helped alot?

Turning off data is a HUGE gain in battery life over the course of a day. Keep in mind that notifications require it to be on. IE: no data, no new e-mail, tweets, FB notifications, etc...

This is one of the big things that programs like Juice Defender do, they kill data most of the time, and turn it back on for a few minutes at a time to allow notifications to come through, than shut it down again.

I used Juice Defender up until I enabled the Google Voice option with my phone. From that point on, I had a delay in receiving texts, so I had to uninstall JD. Just some food for thought on that.

Juice Defender isn't what its hyped up to be. I use task killer.

Nothing works as well as using your power button as if you were going to power off the phone but select "Data network mode" [deactivate or activate]. I have a Power Control Plus widget that has 2/3G data and 3 cellular data modes that sometimes works, but even it is unreliable. Just use the built in Data Network mode that came with Froyo.
