![]() AOD - very useful indeed, mostly 1-2% battery ussage every hour.System will automatically do it though after few days. Specially those apps without important notification. Enable battery optimizations in Device Care and adaptive power saving.These apps have wakelocks, foreground, & backgound permission and will always run in the background when invoked by a linked process. Notice that Google isn't making ridiculous power saving claims for it and that it only will save power while the phone is not in use. No doubt it will be much better engineered than flawed, poorly done apps like JD. Which will do things similar to many common battery savers like JD. I've never used my phone in a way where a battery saver would be useful.Īndroid is finally getting a battery saver, that is, something you could consider to be a battery saver app rather than built-in system optimizations. But the thing is smartphones are designed with 24/7 connectivity in mind and that's how most people use them. The overall verdict was that in almost all situations you would be better off skipping Juice Defender and just setup the phone correctly for your use habits, like not running an excessive number of mail passes, using WiFi instead of mobile data, obvious stuff like that.įor your particular case, if it doesn't matter that you're disconnected from the internet during certain times maybe Juice Defender would save a little bit of power. I really wish I could still pull up that test, it was excellent. As I remember, in the tests (that I used to have a link for) net savings results varied from a net plus to a net negative, depending of course, on the particular setup and other conditions, such a strength of cell signal, sync frequency, etc. ![]() IOW, the more tasks JD was asked to do to save power, the more power JD used itself. ![]() ![]() But in practice, even sitting there Juice Defender and similar apps use a considerable amount of of power doing the monitoring processes and other tasks needed to do the job. I completely agree that unless the phone is just sitting no battery saver can do anything about saving power. So yeah, these kinds of apps can be said be work, and not work at the same time. Basically, the less you use your phone, the more battery is saved. So yes, it does work, but only in specific scenarios. The battery usage of 6hr mobile data active and 12min active is quite large. Instead of having the phone's mobile data active for the entire 6hrs, using up battery and decreasing standby time, with GreenPower, during the 6hrs, mobile data has only been active for 12min (1min active data connection every 30min). In my case, I can only check the phone in between work activities, which may last 4-6hrs. Thing is, some people just want their standby times increased. With interval activations of internet even if the phone is not being used. It's no different from manually turning off the data/wifi before locking the phone, and turning it on again after unlocking. Basically, they're not saving power when the phone is being used. They work by turning your internet connections off, then reconnecting them only after a given interval (say every hour), or when you use the phone (detected by unlocking the screen, or having it turned on). So for someone who is on their phone all the time typing, playing or whatsoever, JD, GP, or whatever battery saver apps are just a waste of memory space or money. It won't change the battery usage if you are actively using the phone. Juice Defender and similar apps doesn't really work because it only extends the standby time.
