i have it on my phone and tab but i never use it. I always use my xbox
lol me 2 but i tried it out on the phone with extended battery, not to bad battery wise, hey do you play left 4 dead 2? we always play online against others...WARNING that game will get you hooked quick...
I like juice defender, it saves my battery without me having to spend time switching the options my self.
When I use my phone I have enough battery to enjoy some netflix, ted talks, g+, and some good old fashioned e-mail.
JuiceDefender Ultimate, which I bought from Amazon AppStore for $1.99, caused my LG Esteem to severely slow down. I installed, uninstalled and reinstalled JuiceDefender and JuiceDefender Ultimate a few times to compare the before-and-after results on my phone, and I can confirm it was definitely JuiceDefender Ultimate that were causing the slowdown. The basic version did not cause any noticeable slowdown.
Furthermore, JuiceDefender Ultimate would often freeze and crash my LG Esteem when I opened the application. The app would freeze as it was loading its settings, and then the phone would crash and automatically reboot. Only the Ultimate version was causing a lot of problems on my LG Esteem. The basic version seemed to be more stable and did not crash my phone.
It is possibly JuiceDefender Ultimate was having conflicts with GO Launcher EX, an excellent home-screen replacement app I had installed on my phone. However, between JuiceDefender and GO Launcher EX, I choose Go Launcher EX. GO Launcher EX is a far, far superior app than JuiceDefender. I consider GO Launcher EX as a must-have app and JuiceDefender as a headache.
Another thing I despise about JuiceDefender is that, when I upgraded to the Ultimate version, I had to install three different versions of JuiceDefenders to use the Ultimate version. I had to installed: (1) the basic version, (2) the upgrade key that I purchased, and (3) the Ultimate version that would show up only by combining the basic version and the upgrade key. Those were three separate apps, which took up three slots on my app page. If I uninstalled either one of those three apps, the Ultimate version would stop working. The upgrade process of JuiceDefender lacks elegance.
The basic JuiceDefender worked fine on my LG Esteem. However, I have uninstalled both the basic and Ultimate version. I felt the battery life conserved by JuiceDefender was marginal at best. They were simply not worth the troubles they had been causing on my phone.
Ever since I had uninstalled JuiceDefender, my phone has been running smoothly without a hitch.
P.S. My phone is not rooted.

Root Explorer just had an update that allows symlinking! I haven't tried it yet but it should allow me to take what's on the internal sd card and put it on my 16gb external.

I use Juice Defender Beta and Ultimate and don't have a problem. Juice Defender Ultimate is an extension of one of the free versions. It's the best program I've used for saving battery life. I also use Go Launcher EX with it.

MixZing Media Player. Theres a free version and a 4.99 paid version, I just use the free version. In my opinion the best music player Ive used thats on the market. And it has quite a few widget size options. You can have a 1x1 widget or up to a whole screen sized (4x4) widget. If your mp3 file doesnt have album art you can let it do a search for you and find the original album art. Alot of cool features and including being able to watch videos you have saved on it and an equalizer also

HD Widgets 2.0 (Previously only available for tabs) is now available for phones too. Alot of people love these widgets on their tab so I figured I'd pass it along.
yup, but if i reset it, it will start over for voting, but i need to reset it and add more btw, lol might be sometime in the next couple days or so, so if anyone has found some cool trusting apps they use share the name so i can make a list.
