What are your thoughts on Juice Defender Ultimate for $4.99?

I have a few friends that say its the best battery saver app out there.

What are some other great ones, either Free or Paid

NJSmoke

a lot of people on these phone, people with the Nexus and other 4G phones, hate it and find it to be a waste of money. Better off just getting an app that tells you what is using the most battery.

Here is a great one I found today. If you like playing Mortal Kombat then this is a great app. Any of the Mortal Kombat games, any system -> all the special moves and fatalities, babalities, etc

MK Moves

I have a 2 month old and have been using that app to make a comic book with pics since his birth. Saw the idea in a review. Takes some getting used to but really cool and easy to use photo app. Permission to take photo's or video anytime cam is on is a bit eerie but several respected apps have it from ones I have seen to.

Cotton123

Astro, Paper Camera and dropbox are my most used. Looking for a good safe wallpaper app though

chrlswltrs

I use zedge for most of my wallpapers.

I like Mighty Text a lot. It lets you send and receive texts from your computer using your regular cell phone number.

justtom

Then you should look at AirDroid it does that and much more.

sanibel

It is limited to wi-fi only devices, correct? MightyText works with any PC/Mac regardless of wi-fi.

I got airdroid, i never knew i could text from it. Could you tell me, plz, where to look for the texting part of the app? thx

justtom

Sure Lowrider1 here you go Enjoy and have a great day.

How to send and receive messages?

Following these steps to send and receive messages using a web browser:
1. Login to AirDroid web desktop.
2. Find the Message icon and click it to open. You can see all your text messages here.
3. To send a message, click New Message in the Message window, input recipient, your message, and click Send. You can also send messages to a group of recipients.

What the!!! lol I didn't know you can text from AirDroid...so is it like What'sApp kind of messaging?

Roze im not familiar with What'sApp sorry you would have to check that out yourself.But i can say that i use AirDroid daily at my desktop i will have it running in the background along with my music playing thru winamp from my droid while im surfing and texting at the same time with no conflicts at all.And i can catch a charge if i like thru the usb while im at it if i need with no interruption

I tried using it when it was Read It later. Maybe I had it configured wrong, but for my phone it always needs to connect to the internet to download the information for me to read. In my eyes, it kind of defeats the purpose. It should download to my phone when there is a connection for reading offline.

To find cheap gas stations.... my new favorite app= GasBuddy
I should automatically just go to any Costco, Arco or Safeway gas station without an app ha ha.

Found a really cool app today!!! Haven't tried it but somone in the SGS3 Forum posted it.

It's called Stick it! and it allows you to move your video anywhere on your screen!!! No need to port THAT feature from the SGS3!!!

chrlswltrs

That looks pretty cool. So you can play a video on top of any other app from the looks of it??

Roze

Yes I think this is good for tablets vs. phones, lol with the larger screen real estate.

chrlswltrs

Yeah I can see it being really nice tablets. I don't think I would use it on my phone, but I'll keep in mind when I replace my iPad with an Android tablet in a few months

Perec

It is obvious: the most battery wasters for Android phones are applications and services that using connectivity for check for updates, synchronize stuff. If your special app will tell you about this, then what you will do? You cannot uninstall built-in apps and services like google, facebook, etc. Therefore the Juice Defender will do simple work for you: cut of wi-fi, 2/3/4G when screen is off. And this functionality is the key point of saving your phone battery. The rest of the features of Juice Defender like task killing, brightness adjustment etc.. are almost useless. These ones will give you maybe +5% of battery time, but user can easily lost in Juice Defender settings. Personally me prefer Long Battery Life app, which simply do this job by cutting connections when I am not wish to be connected (screen is off) and not aware of it. -IMHO

canyonfvr

Zedge has a some great ring tones

wxman2003

My 2 favorite apps are Slacker radio and MLB. Both paid services, but my favorites for streaming.

I have been waiting on an app that could back up my mp3's and video for safe keeping so when i need a restore, all i have to do is reload my saved mp3s and videos right from the android instead of having to connect to my computer to transfer things back onto the device.


My Backup Pro has updated their app to do just that!!!

This is nice, but doesn't music and pictures automatically store on sd card? (I am anal and have backups of backups.....)

Rico ANDROID

True but those are the actual files and this new feature comes in handy when ib want to reload videos or mp3s that long since may have been deleted but saved in one of your old backups.

NJSmoke

Stumbleupon is one of my most used apps.not sure why it isn't more popular.

JulyDerek

Total waste of money. I got a longer battery life when I uninstalled it. The Android system obviously manages the battery better.

sanibel

I have to agree. And although I never did a scientific test on this, my battery seems to work just as well without this app.

I used to play GTA on play station, I have read controls are bad on android though. How do you like it?

TerrySand

Yes, it might work better without this "saver", but some function that closes all data connection when you have phone locked, is needed anyway.

justtom

How so? i use my phone damn near a 100 times a day and dont need data for the tasks i perform.if it had to turn on data every time i unlocked it my battery would be dead in no time just making connections.I just use the power widget to perform those simple tasks of turning on data,wifi,bluetooth.etc

Lowrider1

Thx! Which icon on Power widget is for tuning off data? Thx (starting on left, 1st, 2nd?)

justtom

On mine its the 4th one looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded down and two arrows one faceing left and one right.Here is a picture of a different set up i found online but it also is the 4th one.There also is a app i use now called NOTIFICATION TOGGLE,that will run in your drop-down window and do the same job just saves screen space and is customizable here is that link >>https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
Hope this helps you and have a Great Day.

Lowrider1

Mine looks almost exactly like your's, but i am missing the paper w/arrows icon. LOL My Luck. ALL the others are there.
Thx 4 the link, i'll try that.

justtom

maybe a button with a 3g or 4 on it,or arrows facing up and down im sure its there just try each one at a time with your wifi off till you find it.you got the power wiglets from your fidget folder correct.

TheApp

Juice defender is mine as it saves so much battery life!It switches everything off once the battery life low or when apps not in use

Lowrider1

I took your advice n got the Notification Toggle. Love it! Thx

justtom

Your welcome.have a great day

hello everyone..i maybe on the wrong page for this but im new to this but i was wondering if any one knows how to put a sugnature on ..

exisapps

I like graphics and my favorite app is Metaballs HD Live Wallpaper! Looks very amazing

Lowrider1

Go to "User CP,,,Profile Section"

mulasien

AT&T Galaxy S2 users on 2.3.6 (myself included) would strongly disagree with that assessment....

danarchy

Just wanted to mention LBE Privacy again (only mentioned once in this entire thread), it really is an amazing app, and gives you a lot of control what data apps can access on your phone. An eye opener for sure!

This is one of the few apps that SHOULD be included on every phone (or integrated into the Android OS).
