Help Battery Extender

[CherokeeBlood]

I just got the Precedent, had for about 3 days. Good phone I like the Android OS. I have noticed one issue that I need some advice on. The battery last about 12 hours. IS that a good timeframe for the battery? I've installed a task killer app, to make sure I don't have apps running continuously in the background.

Is there an app, or something I can use to extend the battery a little longer?

Actually 12 hours is pretty decent. I had a vibrant before this and I would get lucky with 8hrs with a stock rom. From the market u can try juice defender. Its the industry standard to save battery. In my case I don't need more than 10 he's of battery so I don't use it any more. I just maintain my brightness as low as I can tolerate and I use system panel paid version as a task manager.

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and rooted with ODIN, best choice so far, I don't have all those memory eaters running now. I gain better battery time, haven't really watched it for a definite time, but I have noticed I can go much longer without having to refuel....

Hey I was just wondering, my phone lasts about 20+ hours, but it spends that majority on standby. I probably actually use the phone accumulatively for about 3-4 hours. Is that good?

I would be thrilled to have twelve hours... mine dies after three. Please understand I DO
like this phone and it's features but....how many samsung employees would be pleased with a phone that has only three or four hours battery life? I actually called them and asked. And,yes I know how to kill running aps and do power management and yes
gps, bluetooth,and wi-fi are off. I am hoping the ap that this thread suggest's helps ;but c'mon...four hours? that's just nonsense!! i'll go back to Nokia before I'll put up with that even tho I prefer android os.

Cpu controle, flash arearom or cyogen mod and run this, use the profiles n set ur screen off and in call mhz down to 480 but always use on demand in arearom. Cyogen mod needs preformance. Also cyogenmod in settings cmsettings preformace. Set vm heap to 32mb and reboot. Your phone will act like it has more ram now.
