Works great

I didn't much care for the other stuff, but I have to say, It does a good job of preserving battery life. I noticed when I have heavy use on the phone it's about the same as not having UJuice, but When i'm not on it, in meetings and away from the phone, it does a great job preserving the battery. It's one of those depends on how you use it. If you really want power with everything on, just get that fat battery and be done with it. otherwise this could be a good choice for you.
[EVO 4G General] Mr Ian B:
I have been using BatteryFu lately with better results than Juice Defender. Also, I have been charging the phone overnight and when I wake up, I unplug it, wait about a minute, re-plug it while I get ready and it seems to top off the phone and there is no drop of charge within 10 mins of unplugging, Getting around 15 hours of average calling/text/music/internet and around 9pm I am still at 20%.

I've been getting the error notification from juice defender any tips? It's enabled but from the log of all the times all that shows up is :

ERROR: Error enabling data, giving up

Warning:[null]

Warning:RemoteException

any tips?
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
Yeah I had that problem once. Go through the setup again and it should be fixed.
[EVO 4G General] kratos313:
The video shows a different Juice defender than whats in the market i downloaded the one in the market and there is no CPU tab...

Edit:uninstalled and reinstalled and got my cpu tab but still no 3g tab
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
Are you rooted? That may be why. Also, installing UltimateJuice on top of it gives you more options. Both of these could be why it looks different for you.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I've been running Juice Plotter and Defender for about a week now and I am blown away.

It's a little irritating how long it takes 3g to reconnect sometimes but 24 hours on average (for me) use is UNREAL!! Defender is reporting between 1.55x and 1.75x, not as good as you guys but definitely a good start.

I tried to buy Ultimate Juice but my bank has a block on all "signature based" transactions originating in several areas in the UK due to lots of fraud activity there this year :(

I tried emailing the creators but got no reply.

I suppose I'll have to get a pre-paid visa or something for my UK purchases.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I also agree! I can go ALL DAY (usually from 7am to 11pm) ON A SINGLE CHARGE and this is using my phone as usual. And this includes light texting, light surfing (mostly checking the XDA forums), installing/uninstalling apps, some Pandora, some phone calls.

Nebenezer, I too was having the brief lockups when it would try to start 3G after unlocking the screen. I was able to get rid of them by setting my screen off underclock to 998 MHz via it's OC utility. Mine is set to 245min/998 screen off/1228 max.
[EVO 4G General] SteveDusa:
Off-topic, but what's the notification tray / task bar used in the video? I love the way it shows the battery percentage and signal strength in dbm...

Also is it available for Froyo as well?

Thanks! Going to try the JD and UJ...
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
What up neb! Glad you're getting good results. Check your PM :)

these options are available on CyanogenMod 6
[EVO 4G General] Ratzinc:
Task killers are life savers. I had a g1 and a moment, and the second the home screen got visibly laggy I killed all tasks and it was immediately remedied.

Juice defender essentially dumps your phone into airplane mode when your screen is off, nothing more.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
This is so far from the truth. If it's basically in airplane mode with the screen off, how come I can still receive calls, SMS, MMS and Facebook/Twitter/Gmail notifications while still getting over an entire day on 1 charge?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
because you're a cop and cops get special things that the rest of us don't get, like free donuts and coffee..
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Lolol actually, I dont like donuts and stopped drinking coffee a few months ago. But we still get free drinks and water. :-P lol

- Sent via my EVO from the back seat of your Momma's SUV.
[EVO 4G General] kratos313:
Yes i'm Rooted and i installed UltimateJuice on top but only the cpu option came up

and i noticed a slightly higher battery drain while running this than i had without it running.

Note:I'm running DC3.5 and can change my own battery settings in DCconfig so i.m not 100% sure i need this.
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
Thats because you were on a G1, which has MUCH lower memory than the EVO. On something like the EVO, it has so much memory that task killers do more harm than good.
[EVO 4G General] Ratzinc:
Wrong. A lot of apps run in the background draining battery and using up memory. Task killers make them go bye bye and i'm left with optimal amounts of memory and Battery power. 16 hours of decent usage with task panel x
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
Thats exactly what I thought, but memory does not equate to lost battery. Android handles background apps different than a PC. When you kill an app, it then WILL use battery when it has to start back up.

Now the exception of course is the carrier bloatware. That crap is using battery in the background.

But I digress. This post is not about taskillers, its about the benefits of using JuiceDefender and UltimateJuice.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I cant believe it, my battery life just keeps getting better.

21 hours off the charger, sitting at 48%, friggin awesome

I've read about people thinking Plotter uses too much battery. I kind of see it as immediate feedback for a week or two while you get everything set the way you want. I'll probably disable the plotter next week and see if it gets even better but I am amazed as it is :D

About the defender notification icon: what is the difference between a yellow dot and a green one. Obviously red means disabled but I cant tell what the difference is between the other two.
[EVO 4G General] :
Quick Question, I just downloaded and bought the ultimate Juice, and I removed my SystemPanel Lite application

I am also not rooted

While watching the video, I saw that he has the SystemPanel in the notification bar.. what is the reason to have that if he says that Task Killers are not necessary or is he using for SetCpu etc?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Does anyone else have to re-enable cpu scaling in JD after each reboot?
[EVO 4G General] sd2649:
This app doesn't turn off my 4g, anyone else see this? It just turns off WiFi and 3g connections :/
[EVO 4G General] TransformerX:
This is a great app...I got 25 hours off my first use. This was a pretty normal day of data/talk/videos/tv. Up time was right @ 8.5 hours...wow!!!! Never got this before, not even after all the battery tricks. Just to let u know, I started off with 80% of juice in battery. Thanks for the tip!!!
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
Yeah its not gonna turn off 4G but I still got great results on Sense ROMs

Yeah it has problems holding my CPU settings.

Task killing is a very MINOR function of SystemPanel and one that I dont use. I use it for all of the other functions.
[EVO 4G General] yutlin:
I'm having the same problem with Slacker and Ultimate Juice. Even when I add Slacker to the list of Always On apps the data connection gets disabled when the screen goes off (despite the fact that Slacker is playing). Any help?
[EVO 4G General] :
Ok, so back again with another question about Juice Defender

I get confused on the Traffic cause I hate numbers and such.. but right now I have my Traffic set to 10KB/30s Does this affect if someone sends me MMS Message?

I have Gmail and Messages to have access all the time because I wasnt getting in of my gmail notifications even though I have 2m ever 30m

and I have data enabled while screen is on.. I always keep wifi off because some reason I get errors when I get sent an MMS on wifi, and I can never download unless and this a very small chance I go back to 3G (Thought this was a smart phone)

BTW this may be confusing but let me know and Ill try to clear up
[EVO 4G General] :
Ok, I read through all the posts but had some extra questions after more tweaking.

So last time I was not rooted but now I am rooted with 2.2 and I uninstalled juice defender and ultimate juice then re-installed and I still don't have the cpu option he has in the video. How can I get that or should I do the ultimate juice alternative?

Also, would settings should I change if I still wanna be able to get emails when my screen is off? Since I have it to not use data when the screen is off? LOL that sounds like a dumb statement but I may have just said it wrong

Any Help would be greatly appreciated?
[EVO 4G General] thegame2388:
I don't have the 3G option. Just Data and Wifi, how come?
[EVO 4G General] Murmur2k:
You need to get the setCPU app for UJ to control CPU
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
These are my settings:

Also, I lost the 3g button when I switched back to sense from CM6, but it's still functioning as it should.. I'm guessing it's part of the JD AOSP helper and otherwise it's just part of the data connection settings.

I had conflicts with SetCPU so I removed it. UJ is the only thing that affects my cpu scaling
[EVO 4G General] :
I have SetCPU now and I still dont have the option. Ill try again, if it doesnt work then no biggie, SetCPU is fine
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
What ROM are you running? Try installing JD and UJ after a fresh ROM flash. Thats really odd that the option isnt there for you.

Are you using just JD?

No you don't. UJ runs on its own

Did you use Titanium Backup when you switched back? I made sure not to restore the helper file. But great setup man thanks for the post and tips.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Yeah I used TB to restore but I made sure to exclude the helper. I only restored JP, JD and UJ.

I actually tried installing the helper afterwards just to see if it would give me the 3g button back but it had no effect whatsoever.
[EVO 4G General] kenny111008:
I think I don't get 20+ hours out of my phone because I'm not rooted and I don't have the CPU option but 16 hours is still great for a stock device

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] kid1000:
thanks for the settings bro but i still dont have the cpu which is getting kind of aggrivating especially since i paid for UJ
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
That does suck. Did you contact the dev?

I noticed in the apps configuration menu adbWireless doesn't show up..

*edit- While playing with my gf's evo I may have realized why you don't have the CPU scaling option.. Are you running an OC'd kernel? :p
[EVO 4G General] kid1000:
no i think i have a stock kernel as i am using SteelHs version of the latest stock rom
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Then thats it for sure. I tried the app on a sense based rom with stock kernel today, after I ran the setup I had no more CPU option. So I flashed a kernel and re-ran the JD setup again and CPU scaling was back. Then I went back to CM6 and data, 3g, wifi and CPU were all there :D

I have noticed a couple frustrating things. adbWireless still doesn't show up in the app configuration menu after trying a few things, and gtalk has trouble reconnecting, meaning I can't download anything from the market until it does. Which means I usually have to kill gtalk and restart it for it to connect before I can download.. from what I've read I understand the market now needs gtalk to be connected to dl.. but what about people that don't use gtalk..

Something smells incorrect :D
[EVO 4G General] kid1000:
well the dev. needs to get on this for the sense users, especially when people are paying for the full app
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Needs to get on what? If you don't have an OC'd kernel there's nothing the JD dev can do to change that..

A 3G button would be nice but there may be another reason that's beyond his control for why thats not there either
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
I've run this on a Sense ROM and had the CPU settings no problem. That's really odd.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Stock kernel?

I got the cpu button on sense too after I flashed an OC'd kernel (King's BFS #8)
[EVO 4G General] kid1000:
but shouldnt a app be 1st based off of a phones factory settings and then modified to fit custom versions such as stock based kernel vs custom kernel?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I'm not following you... If the JD dev can't oc your phone unless you install an oc'd kernel then what do you think he should do? I suppose it would be cool to have the cpu option so you could under-clock the stock kernel, but I don't know enough about perflock to know if that's something he could even do with the app.
[EVO 4G General] dsEVOlve:
You might want to be sure it isn't the underclocking that is causing the issue. I use TuneIn and even though I had it added to the apps list it would stop playing the instant the screen went off and start right back up the instant I turned the screen back on. I was underclocking with SetCPU to 245MHz when the screen was off. Apparently that wasn't enough juice to keep the player running properly. I set it a notch up to 384MHz and the problem went away. I knew it couldn't be data because I had the Traffic set to enabled when >50 KB/15s too and I was playing a 96kbps stream. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
For the most part it is. Its just a few functions that function only with root. And if thats what he wants to target, I've got no objection.
[EVO 4G General] kid1000:
what do you mean by OC'd kernel? i do have the over clock recovery if thats what your talking about... but i thought someone said that it has something to do with the sense ui
[EVO 4G General] friedCELLS:
I also have no 3g button but I have all the others. Running Evio 1.2a ROM w whatever kernel that comes with. Overclocking is enabled and working. Why no 3g button? Have JD and UJ. I assume its not too big a deal as turning off data should do it. Just weird. DJ R3Z is awesome for all those ignorant whiners in the beg of this thread. I never would've rooted if it wasn't for his vid showing how to root a 2.2 Evo. Thanks R3Z.
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
Well, I just installed it, and was disappointed that it doesn't allow you to make many adjustments, unless you go for the paid version (currently about $5), especially when you're unrooted like me.

I'm not going to spend that much to see if it works as advertised. The 24 hour refund window isn't long enough for an app like this IMO.:(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GlobaL_TroTTer:
Hope some of these amazing minds at xda can help.

When i install a custom recovery image from rom manager or my computer, it works fine. In the recovery, i can successfully restart the recovery in the advanced menu. But when i reboot after installing, it dissapears.

It also does this even if i havent entered the custom recovery after i install/flash the recovery image and do a reboot. There is something going on at bootup, but im not sure what it is. My guess is the android system denies the recovery image because it does not think it has the privelages- though im probably wrong.

I have tried to do a nandroid restore and a factory reset, but it still wount work. i have tried re root twice and still nothing. But a thing i noticed when doing a nandroid restore is that it fails to find a file and skips it.

Please help, and if you cant.... try. I AM DESPERATO!
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
I was at a festival on Saturday I took some wicked videos in dark and out side the quality and frame rate are both nice.got a great one of the lasers . The sound quality is distorted with loud recordings but the only camera on a phone that had a decent audio quality was the N97. Its a shame the photo quality isn't as good as the videos. The shutter speed is the culprit. Is this likely to change with a new build or android update?
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
Hopefully, i'm sure dell must have acknowledged the poor shutter speed and i know an update to the video recorder is coming with the next 2.1 update (720p recording!! :D), so we can only cross our fingers and wait!
[Android Apps and Games] zwoggel:
Hello there,

I have some questions about the Android market and the availabilty of apps in different countries.

Infos first: I live in Hungary right now and I have Desire bought in germany. I'm using T-Mobile Hungary as my provider. Everything works great :)

But...

I was looking around in the market for some apps to install and also used sites like androidlib.com to find stuff. Unfortunately many apps just can't be found when I search or use these barcode scans (example app: skobbler ).

So I assume that the market checks my IP, sees that I'm in Hungary and because of that I can't see all apps but I haven't really found any specific information on how this works, so I'm not sure. Maybe there is another setting or mechanism or whatever...

Maybe you know ;)

Second though: If my assumption is right, the country restriction could be bypassed by using VPN, with a german server for example!?

PS: I know about the restriction of paid apps but I wasn't looking for those. My questions are related to free apps.

Thanks for your answers :)

the other day, i was just messing around with my MT3G, and while booting held the menu key, almost by accident (had been up for nearly 24hours and was pretty much a zombie), and i noticed it said it was in "safe-mode". my question is this, after poking around a bit, other than it not loading ANY third party app, does safe mode have any purpose without root?

At one time I had an app for ipod touch that you could type in a persons cell phone number and it would give you thier approximate location, i think based on tower uasage. Is there an app like this for the droid? Intetrested in making sure my daughter is at school but she does not have a droid to track,
[General Questions and Answers] snapper.fishes:
Google Altitude can do this to some degree, but I am not sure about the update frequency. In any case, it requires the user to consent to give you their location (obviously). I have yet to convince any of my friends to let me do this, so I can't give you any words on its performance.
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
i asked this in a thread a while back, but it got passed up.

if you purchased and activated an evo off contract, what was there to gain? it seems like it wouldn't be worth it for the evo, since everyone was supposed to upgrade their plan a mandatory simply everything data plan + premium data. before with other phones, i could see the allure, but now, not so much, unless you found a way to keep your old plan.
[EVO 4G General] radar5:
i suppose if you weren't due for an upgrade, you had no other option but to buy it that way. Then Sprint can change your plan without extending your contract.
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
that makes sense. it just seemed like alot of people got it in their heads that they would not be tied down to a contract no matter what, and it didn't seem to be worth it anymore.
[EVO 4G General] dj_jelly:
Lol i laugh when customers tell me they arent due for an Upgrade. Ive upgraded 4 times this year. But yea there is NO way yo keep your old plan. The Evo is only compatible with the Everything Data Plan and the Simply Everything Plan. No exceptions. Ive tryed everything to get around it. I had to leave me Sero Plan to get the evo
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
i'm on the everything data plus plan (long story) but that was about all i could do.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I got mine off contract, and the only thing that changed in my plan was adding the additonal $10 fee, which did not affect my contract expiration date (which is still October 1st).
[EVO 4G General] codyco83:
I bought mine from best buy for the $200 dollar two year contract. My old contract expired earlier this year. Now, somehow my account shows that my contract expired 2 1/2 years ago. Not that I'm complaining, but anyone know how that could have happened? I double checked with the upgrade checker on best buys website, it shows the same thing.
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
expiration dates don't change if you are not receiving anything (subsidized phone on the same line, 75/150 off your bill.)

i should have wrote "mandatory". it looks like you lucked out. what plan do you have?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
How did I luck out? I didn't renew my contract because I bought it off contract. Anyone else could do the same thing. No one forces you to use an upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] goodelyfe:
with google voice account... seems like sprint could turn your phone off and you could still have a phone...lol
[EVO 4G General] StevenCCCP:
I buy all my phones outright. I would have bought my Evo if I didn't get one free from Google. Only phone I ever got on-contract was my 1st gen iPhone. At this point I go through 2 phones a year so off contract is way cheaper for me.
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
i thought everyone had to change their plan to one of the new ones regardless if they activated an evo on their account. if my last statement is correct (barring rulebending/sweetalking/retentions/ etc. or the oct. 1st sero rumor), then you are lucky to have your same plan (+$10).

i used to get mine off contract, but with having to get the new plan, i just didn't see a reason. once again, your situation is somewhat different than the norm since you got the i/o phone, and since you switch phones so often, it would make sense as your phones retain most of their resale value. i guess my question goes out more to the people who are eligible for a full upgrade.

thanks for the replies
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
The additional $10 fee doesn't change or extend your plan. It just adds $10/month, the same way insurance adds $7/month.

--
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
True, with OTHER PHONES. If you (or anyone else) were able to get by without having to change plans, cool, they just didn't write the terms that way for THIS PHONE.

"If you’re already a Sprint customer but have a different plan, you’ll have to change plans when you activate your device. Also, once you change your plan, you will not be able to change back to your old plan if we no longer sell it, even if you go back to your old phone."

Nothing in their verbage says you have to extend your contract of enter one if you pay full price or get it from another party, but the terms for the evo state that if you use the phone on sprint, you have to change your plan. will people be able to get away without having to? of course, but I already mentioned that in my last post.
[EVO 4G General] gmanvbva:
I thought Sprint was not selling them off-contract?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I'm pretty sure that is for people on those ancient SERO plans that give them unlimited data for like $40. I already had an unlimited everything plan, so I just needed the $10 fee.

I got mine from Google I/O, but my local stores were selling them for the $450 MSRP.
[EVO 4G General] thenewguy821:
I am pretty sure that would only work where you have a WiFi signal, and you may be limited to no MMS, since MMS can't be sent/received over WiFI.

NOW, If you were to let sprint turn you off, and start an account with CLEAR for their WiFi and used your Google Voice number, I THINK you would have phone and Data Anywhere there is a Clear signal....
[EVO 4G General] beandogg:
I'm confused...how did you get 4 upgrades in a year? I would love 4 upgrades a year. I could get another evo or epic for someone else on my plan.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
He's apparently an employee. Just do what I do: Keep your phone in very good condition and sell it when you get another one. I sold my ancient Hero for $300 when the EVO came out, which is more than the rebates.
