Does any one use battery saver and how is it?

I use Juice Defender Ultimate with bunch of setting and it seems like it's actually making the battery life worth, can one one share their experience with it?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sputnik378:
Juice Defender can be either good or bad.. It depends on how well you know your phone as well as which features can be used. Some of the AOSP features don't work of some phones, which makes JD unable to do things such as throttle down the clock speed of your phone.. It also takes quite a while to get used to the program as well as set it up properly, so be ready for a little learning curve.

However once it's set up properly with all your apps prioritized, peak and weekends setup, and it's done it's learning regarding BT and Wifi so it knows when to turn them on and off sans user.... It will probably save you some battery life.

My problem however is that I seem to spend to much time flashing the newest ROM with the coolest features and what what, so I haven't even installed JD on my latest rom Superlite 5.0 cause I'm not sure how long I'll even use it, and I don't really think that settings will transfer over to a new ROM very well when I do my next flash.

So I'd say if you are stoked on you ROM and plan to stick it out for a while then go for JD but otherwise think hard about how much time you really want to spend saving a little bit of battery and wasting a whole lot of time.

They are a waste and use more battery than they save.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Would you suggest just using everything as it is(including freezing somethings) or turn off data at time when I don't need it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
here are my setting's what do you think? It save's x1.86.

and would you suggest any other app for this?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
If you are on gingerbread, run faux 10m, run a script like gideons that UV and UC, freeze all bloat, turn screen brightness down, turn sync off, make sure emails and other notifications aren't checking frequently(unless you need them for work or something). I never turn of data because I gtalk all the time and that requires data, but if you dont need data go ahead. There's probably more I'm forgetting but that's the basics.

I've been using my Skyrocket for about three weeks now, and on average I get about 12-14 hours of use.

That is with everything on, and brightness to about 30% or so...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Primenay:
My battery life has been fairly good, I have gotten a full day with pretty heavy usage on lte
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Juicy555:
On skyics, faux's kernal, and using gideons script + supercharger v6

Brightness is at about 55% and using juicedefender ultimate.

I have a Sedio 3800mah battery in my phone.

Unplugged my phone at 7:35 this morning. Read some news, facebook, and played order & chaos hd over 4g for about 30 minutes in total.

I turned off my phone for about 3 hours because of MCA testing today.. checked facebook afterwards, and listened to music , & browsed webon the way home..

Used my phone for about 30 minutes then took a nap, now have been listening to music through bluetooth to my pc for about 2 hours and battery reads 70% and thats a full day! while listening through bluetooth for 2 hours battery has only gone done 4%!

AnTuTu Tester

Has anyone else used the Antutu Tester to rate their Battery Life?

I'm running SKY ICS 4.2d-8 with the V6 Supercharger and I got a score of 549. I am using the stock battery. I was just curious what other scores people are seeing and how they rate.

...ps. I am currently getting PHENOMENAL battery life! (compared to what I was stock)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lovepump:
I am running nexus mod 2.3.6 and with juice defender and no v6. I am at 20 hours on battery and just over 45% battery life. I'm running Faux kernel at 1.7ghz and I am very surprised/satisfied with my battery life. I am getting better life from my phone now than I was pre-oc/rom flash!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] playisfun60:
mine is about 14 hours as well

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fventura03:
I would average on Gingerbread about 18-20 hours.

I am now getting about 12-15hrs with Ice Cream Sandwich.

it's a way better phone now with ICS, even if battery life is worse, I am thinking of getting an extended battery now and instead of my stock battery.

Skyrocket Battery Life

In general my battery life has been very good, I get about a full day; at the end of the day my phone has about 30% on average. And that's with heavy usage! I am running Alien ICS UCLD2 ROM v7.4. I would highly recommend this ROM for anyone out there. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bidyut:
How do you take a screenshot? On the international you could hold power and tap home. That doesn't seem to work on the SR. Ideas?

I want to post after today's use. Also I might work at the edge of LTE zone (Way north ATL) may be the switch is coming in play...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JFizDaWiz:
Running on 14 hours with 25% left.

Been texting all day with probably 2 hours of angry birds and browsing the Web all day as well

This phone rocks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jbsg02:
It's the same way, power + home, worked for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bidyut:
Wonder why it didn't work last night. Anyway, here's a shot of the battery usage.

I'm going to factory reset the phone and load bare minimum and see how it holds up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rgtorres09:
thanks for your help my screen was taking up about 55 to 60 % so i took it back and told them gave me new one will test for a couple of days
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket4S:
I've been using my Skyrocket all day and my battery stays full. It was at 100% for hours and I downloaded all my apps and seetup my phone. Very impressive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jbsg02:
Day 2 with the phone and just put it on the charger. Had about 13.5 hours on battery, almost 2 hours of screen time and had a little over 50% left. Battery life was what I was most concerned about before I bought the phone cause of what I heard about Verizon's LTE phones (having to power 2 different radios at a time) but battery life has been just as good as the first GSII I had. My only complaint about the Skyrocket is the 4.5" screen is just a bit too big for easy use with one hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rgtorres09:
For people getting 12 hrs our better are u using any type of app killers, or anything like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jrockttu:
I'd also be interested to know whether you're on LTE or not. I've had two Skyrockets (exchanged the first because of screen issues) and they've both had pathetic battery life.

I fully charged and unplugged one night while I was sleeping and noticed that it drained from 100% to 90% over about 6 hours on wifi with no use. That's not too bad. But once I leave the house it drains like crazy on LTE. It goes from 100% to 85% just from 6am when I wake up to 8am when I get in the office. That's with 5 minutes of checking email/woot and playing some Pandora for about 20 minutes on my commute.

Usually by my lunch time at 11am it's already down to 60% or lower.

I'd like to think that it just needs to be seasoned, but I've had this one since Monday and haven't seen any change. I haven't had a chance to root yet, but will getting rid of the bloatware help?

Right now I"m at:

2hr 45 min

45% display (19 minutes, auto or 30% setting)

20% android system

8% cell standby

7% Android OS

5% Phone Idle

a few smaller items
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jbsg02:
I'm on LTE here in Dallas and have had really good battery life, so I don't think that is the issue. I'm not rooted, no task killer and no juice defender.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bidyut:
I must have had something running (or the phone likes being home)

Yesterday I did a factory reset. Since I had rooted the phone and removed a couple bloatware already those didn't come back. I loaded the bare minimum that I need to get by (gmail-1account, gvoice, whatsapp, 4sq, twitter, g+) and charged it fully.

Now Twitter, and G+ I don't have notifications on. I used it normally; about 10 minutes browser, another 10 on twitter, another 10 on emails and probably less than 1 on 4sq. Add to that 8 hrs of 0 activity (me sleeping) we are down to 32% after 17.5 hrs.

Let me also add that I have installed a few more apps, but just didn't configure them for use yet like facebook/messenger, runkeeper, music, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jrockttu:
That's where I'm at as well. Most of my LTE usage during the day is in uptown. I'm not seeing any wakelock issues, so I know that's not the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bidyut:
Yay. 21 hrs and finally broke the 20% barrier. Let's see how close we get tomorrow when I will be all over the place instead of sitting at my desk.

P.S> Interestingly the 4% voice call was from a 3 minute talk with a telemarketer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LouieO:
I've had the phone since Monday afternoon and I've been able to go a entire days without recharging. It does take a while to fully charge. Also I was watching a show on Netflix using just HSPA+ signal and did not the battery drained quite a bit in an hour.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

I fully charged my phone on WiFi from 2 a.m. till about 8 a.m. and there was only a 10% drop in battery. I also made sure to kill all task in the task manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nolanta:
I got my Skyrocket last Sunday, and haven't had a problem yet.

I charge overnight, so it's always fully charged when I get up. The only weird thing I've had with this phone so far is one day it reported 100% charge for 3 or 4 hours, then dramatically dropped to like 78% at some point.. so for the first few hours I was a little amazed.

Typically I plug it in here and there throughout the day. Today, I decided to see how long the battery would last, and it turned out that today it decided to report 100% for a really long time. I used the phone pretty typically for me; lot of email, some calls, some twitter, some music playing (local mp3s), etc. It reported 100% from 5:56 AM until about 2:30 or so. Then it reported 10%.

So with my normal usage, I got almost 8 hours with no recharging.

I am in an LTE area, and it was on the whole time. I don't recall if I left wifi on or not. Bluetooth was not on, GPS was not on.

I am okay with this battery life. I am used to charging pretty frequently coming from a captive and then an inspire 4g.

Anyway, just sharing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fishlipsboy:
Battery incorrectly stays at 100%

I've noticed that the battery meter will sometimes stay at 100% for a while, like for these guys, and then all of the sudden drop to the actual percentage. A reboot after unplugging the phone will fix the problem and report the battery % at the correct level. I was wondering how many other people were experiencing this, or if it is just a hit or miss thing?

I'm still on stock, unrooted, no mods. It's a straight out of the box Skyrocket.

Also, does the problem remain after rooting, modding, etc.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marcusone:
I suddenly started having this issue as well. I'm currently testing to see if different charging methods affect this issue (i.e. use a different wall charger, using USB port on computer, etc).

A google search seems to show that this is an issue with the 727 phone in general (not sure if its the phone or battery).

Anyone have any luck "fixing" this issue? Its a real PITA to have to reboot the phone after each charge :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jason.hamilton:
Battery Life on this has been great for me. Went 1 day and 11 hours and was at 30%. Charged to full and will see what i get today.

Rooted and using Melvin's ADT stock rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spthomas:
I second that, JuiceDefender seemed to be sucking more battery than without. Although with that said, I would be interested in something basic that just kills various services based on a schedule (say at night) and nothing more.

Sky ics--- 4.2d-10

Using SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 Getting 36 hours normal use. 20hrs when I use the extra stuff like Pandora streaming, Pics, Video etc.

Its the Best ROMto Date
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheRomMistress:
That is extremely hard to believe....

I left SKY because my battery was draining way to much. Now I am just on stock rom but still have awful battery. I was up for maybe 30 minutes, hardly touched my phone and had about 8% drain. Ugg
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
On sky ics, I generally went around 24 hours with 4-5 hours screen on time. UC, of course
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Took this pic this morning. Regular day/regular use. Light browsing, Facebook/Twitter use, Pandora used at gym and streamed an hr video, the yellow part is when i went to sleep and then the rest I was playing a basketball game then at 10% I just went ahead and recharged it again. When I first used it the battery was horrible (update 10) then after it settled a while and recalibrating the battery it kicked in and is working fairly well now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
How is your phone reception? Do you use Wifi at all?

In the above screenshots, it looks like xcrazy and U27 have decent reception and use Wifi alot. Those help alot. You might also consider a different radio. I swapped out the UCLD2 radio for UCALC4 because in my office, UCLD2 doesn't tend to switch to Edge as easily. So, it'll be stuck at 1 bar on HSPA or LTE draining my battery (not to mention I miss a ton of calls)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Correct, I always have great signal and use wifi a lot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] helio2k:

battery life on ICS Leak UCLE2

Hi guys. new member here. I was wondering if anyone could give a feedback on the battery life with the latest ICS UCLE2 leak. i was reading the developement section but people don't seem to be commnting much about it. I am running this leak and so far it has been good except for the battery. it seems to be draining pretty fast. thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zoofoo:
Running SKY ICS UCLD2 with the 4.2D-10 update. I've had it installed for about 8 days now and here's my battery stats. For a good chunk of time, about 7 hours I was sleeping and as you can tell hardly any power consumed when in stand by mode. Much better usage than the stock rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Your phone does a really good job of sleeping, too. Mine wakes up even when the screen is off. I suspect it's Kik or Line that I have installed.

After a couple weeks of Sky ICS 4.2D-9, the battery has been decent for me, too. This is what my battery drain looked like last night. I woke up at around 4am unfortunately and kept waking up throughout the night. But, you can see before that, battery drain hit -0.6%/hr, and settled to -0.7%/hr when I finally fell asleep again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jerzey111:
how do you guys get such good results??

im on gb superlite and im at 22% at 5pm with only 1 to 1.5h or screen on time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zoofoo:
I didn't do anything to gain better battery life, maybe I just got lucky. I have, however, been careful about which apps I've installed.

I still haven't installed all my usual apps and sometimes a bit of a struggle not having everything I need like weather apps, etc. I did have a weather app and even in the middle of the night without use I was still seeing a fair amount of app usage. I've since uninstalled it and see much better battery life.

I think the key is just to install one app at a time and watch your battery for a couple days and get an idea of how much drain each one is causing.

I'm sure there are other things to consider as well. If you're seeing a lot of drain even without installing apps then you may want to go through the install again. It's possible something went awry during setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
I'm on stock ics UCLE2 Odin leak with only mods being cwm touch recovery, rooted, and debloated. Over 6 hours of constant use. Everything from internet surfing to Facebook to music and YouTube videos without much of a break. So my screen was on all day non stop you get the idea I worked the hell out of the battery to see what it could take and for how long. And I think over 6 hours of constant hard use on any smartphone by today's standards is dang good. So first thing this morning I cleared battery stats and completely drained my battery today now I'm charging and after a couple of days I will report back if I see any difference in battery life and try to put my two cents in on the wiping battery stats debate. Does it help does it not is it worth it bla bla bla....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
I have the same software as you and am looking forward to your results. I'll be conducting the same test tomorrow. SeanZ has some great ROMs but I've never noticed any battery differences with any of his products. We'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
OK here is the results and the pics are worth a thousand words. Is wiping battery stats worth it? Well if you want another 2 to 3 hours then yes. Tested basically the same way today as yesterday constant use screen on a lot... here is the steps that I did..

1. Charge battery to 100%

2. Open cwm recovery click advanced then wipe battery stats.

3. Run battery completely dead until the phone goes off

4. Charge back to 100%.

Remember it is important to take the phone thru a complete battery cycle afterwards and I recommend to wipe battery stats and cycle battery at least every time you flash the phone whether it be a new rom recovery or radio. I do this once a month whether I flash my phone or not but that's just me. I did this test for the debate on the battery stats argument. So I'll give you this info and you can look at the pics and decide for yourself but to me an extra 2 to 3 hours on a smartphone battery is worth the very little effort it takes to do this....

Anyone that thinks I should start a thread with this test just let me know and if not that's OK to..

And there maybe one already I don't know but just let me know opinions..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Wiping battery stats doesn't do anything as far as making the battery last longer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
i know its been much debated on here as far me im still unsure. im gonna do more tests over the next few days. i realize that there is really no way to duplicate exactly what i did the day before as far as running apps how long the screen was on or off etc etc so there is a margin for error. so im still on the fence as far as does it or dont it give better battery life. ive also been told that if your battery meter is off ex it shows you have 20% battery but your phone is going dead ive been told it fixes that problem but i cant confirm that because i have not had that problem... this is what i know for sure that this leak UCLE2 gets better battery life than the previous two versions and that i used the heck out of my battery yesterday before wiping stats and got a liitle over 6.5 hours and again today used the heck out of it and got a little over 9 hours.. now could the way i used my phone today as opposed to yesterday make that much difference? and im not saying that you are wrong cause you know more than me and have got my rear end out of many jams that i got myself into lol im merely trying to learn something. so what exactly does wiping battery stats do whats the purpose in it i guess is what im trying to ask?

Hey guys, something weird has just happened to my i727r

I have it unlocked and running SKY-ICS ucld2 rom

i switched a different network sim from my rogers sim and noticed i had to add apn's again, i did that no problem and did what i had to do, switched back, surprisingly the old apn's stuck, it was a matter of just choosing the correct one. Now i notice my phone keeps draining battery, i havent used it all day and it went from 100 - 2% in 5 hours, any ideas? should i reflash? this just happened when i switched sims, pretty weird
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
I would start by looking in the phones settings under battery to see if maybe an app is misbehaving and constantly running in the back ground eating your battery up and if that shows nothing out of the ordinary then I would try a factory reset but that's just me....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lilbrian15:
Okay great, i looked at the battery stats and i saw my screen took up about 30% which was on the top of the list, usually it takes up 50% + and i receive better life, I've deleted some recently updated apps, and now charging, what I'm noticing now is that the battery gets extremely hot, is this normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
OK a couple of questions...

1. When you say not used the phone what do you mean like it just sitting on a desk with screen off and went from 100% to almost dead in a few hours. In other words did you randomly use it or just leave it alone and the battery drained while the phone was idle?

2 and when you say hot is it to hot to hold in your hand kinda hot?

Warm is normal but to hot hold is not...

Juicedefender

I have been getting more than 15 hours on moderate to heavy use on skyrocket using Juicedefender app. It needs a bit of tweaking, and the app needs to learn your usage, but after about a week it was doubling my battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rcdizon:
I am getting about 13 to 15 hours with only sms, calls and regular phone sync. I am using OEM batteries. Third party batteries do not last more than 7 hours of same usage for me.

If I am surfing or watch vids, the battery life goes downhill like 4 to 6 hours.
