Juice Defender, is it worth it?

[Hiberny]

Someone recommended I try Juice Defender after I complained my tablet has less than stellar battery life. Isn't that app more for phones with 3G and 4G radios? Will I see a difference?

I found that it did not help. I use apps Auto Airplane Mode and Set Cpu to turn off wifi and set the cpu to minimum when the screen is off and it works well for me.

I am using it on my phone, and it seems to help, I haven't tried it on the tab yet. It would turn off your wifi while the screen is turned off, only turning it on for a brief period occasionally to allow things to sync. There would be some power savings, while allowing the tab to still keep you alerted periodically.

However, what Pablo suggests sounds good, and would probably save even more juice if you don't need to be alerted while the tab screen is turned off. I think I will check out those apps.
