Juice Defender Question

[kennedy27403]

So if I understand it correctly, JD turns off the radios while the phone is off, activating them periodically (every 5, 15, 30 mins etc) to pick up new data. Does all this turning on and off take a toll on the battery? I know people say constantly closing and opening apps can drain battery, so how is this different?

I would think as far as comparison to opening and closing apps it's not the same as the screen is off and it's being done in the background while the phone is in somewhat of a sleep mode. It's also just polling the network for any notifications, not much processing needed there.

Just a thought though.

If you run into any issues though I've found disabling the control of the mobile network control to make everything work fine and it still saves battery life.

Hope this helps clarifying anything.
