TCA Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have a Motorola cliq 2 and currently use juice defender for my battery, but I was wondering if there is something better then that or what anyone could suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_K Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Turn it off when not in use... DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DConnell Member Posted March 11, 2012 Member Share Posted March 11, 2012 Turn off features that you're not using. Shut off the WIFI radio when there's no access point around, for example. Turn off the bluetooth if you don't need it. Reduce the screen brightness as much as you can while still being comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shammy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Turn off 4G, 3G, WIFI, HotSpot, Bluetooth, GPS, Mobile, Ringer, Backlight. And turn on Airplane mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceminess Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Besides what is mentioned above. I would recommend getting an extended battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoswald Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Disable "automatic brightness" and reduce to a comfortable setting. Disable WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth (as necessary) Disable haptic feedback, vibrate, blinking LED notifications Reduce syncing apps or change sync frequency Switch from WCDMA only (3G) to something more conservative like 2G/Edge or PRL (auto) mode Disable animations There's probably more but I can't think of them at the moment.

htcz Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) [snipped] This is not the jokes section. Not sure why everyone complains about their battery life. These tips that have been posted I imagine are obvious and you are already doing them.....(I do them and I get 3 days plus out of my HTC, non stock ROM) Edited March 11, 2012 by John S.

.Neo Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The "off" button. In all seriousness though: Turn off 3G (if you need to save battery), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCA Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 will try all the above...well most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Basically, just use JD and make sure it turns everything off. I can get 4 days from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satukoro Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 On my Optimus slider, I can get a solid 3 days on a single charge after training the battery (charge it fully, drain it fully, rinse, repeat) and using Juice Defender Ultimate while leaving brightness all the way down and WiFi/3g off by default. When I first got the phone, I would barely get a single day out of it; training the battery really helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldier1st Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) [snipped] That will not solve his problem. There are a number of things that i would say about iPhone, but we are not here to discuss other devices. Anyways, have juice defender manage everything and for the sync features, turn off anything that you don't want synced, but for those that you do want to use, just set a longer duration so it will check less often. check here for more info http://www.juicedefe...rview/#profiles . hope this helps. I can usually get around 3 and a half days on my Phone but if i use it alot, then two days. Edited March 11, 2012 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Topham Hatt Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 JuiceDefender Ultimate. I have this installed. I'm not amazingly convinced it does any good but I get between two and three days worth out of mine. I disable WiFi (unless I am updating various things using my home WiFi). I lower the brightness (to the lowest value on my Galaxy Nexus). Apps update once every 2 hours. GPS is turned off unless I am using Google Maps. I have 3G enabled though. I also try not to play graphically intense games on it. GTA3? Yeah... it's a PC game :p Pretty much what others have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention WiFi (home internet) should blow past 3G, but maybe not LTE (depending on your connection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah pretty much common knowledge that a stable Wifi connection uses less power than 3G etc. So where possible and if you have a steady connection you should always try and use Wifi. There is an option in JD Ultimate to learn certain locations and turn your Wifi on if it knows you are close to a recognised spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCA Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 seems to be saving battery better. I basically let it die and just charge it when going to bed and did some re configuring with JD WiFi I already had turned off from the start because of the part in town gets nothing that's well not secured. GPS is off since I don't really use it much at all. Thank you for the replies. Feel free to keep it going for others if you want, makes no difference to me.

Even then I'll only connect it when I want to actually do something significant. If it;s just checking an email, I'll use 3G data.

Not sure if it'll be good though as I work close to where I live. I know it can set it at certain times but as a shift worker, that'll be useless too :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting your battery run totally dry is only asking for a replacement that much sooner. I let mine get between 10-20%, then i charge it up to 100%(not in a hot environment as that will reduce the lifespan). The way i do it will make it last as long as possible and go the longest between charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, there is no harm in running the "battery dry" then charging it. That is one advantage of lithium-ion batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "What if" is what i am concerned with. If you'd like to point to an article which explains that in greater detail, i would be interested in it. A complete understanding is what i am after.

techbeck Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I never ever had any luck with conditioning the battery by draining/charging. Never noticed any increased battery life. Best thing I did for my Samsung Vibrant was to buy a 1800mah battery. Also providing custom roms/kernels have helped as well. No need to do anything on my GNEX. So far, all I have done is rooted the phone. Everything else is stock and battery life is not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
